Chapter 1151 – Panda VS Fox -Part 1 -unedited

The shot was slow moving in Jin's eyes but it suddenly sped up when it reached closer to him, splitting itself into several projectiles and attempting to hit him from various angles.

"Inverse Eyes!" Jin said to himself as his eyes glowed with Maqi. Time seemed to slow down significantly with the powers of his mystical pair of eyes, allowing him to prepare for the attack. Both his Chi and Mana circuits pumped through his entire body and his muscles were energised thoroughly. As his Inverse Eyes was somehow able to predict the future, his body instinctively found the safest route away from all the projectiles with the exception that the projectiles continued to stay the same. (If they were split up again, then it is possible Jin would be terribly injured from it.)​​

"One by one!" Jin said to himself as he sidestepped for the very first projectile while taking out his trusty sword, Bam to block the second. The Third subsequently came by his blind spot but his living armour instantly shifted to protect its master. The fourth was a troublesome one as Jin could sense the fifth hiding right behind it. Hence, he utilised his chi to trip himself, allowing his body to fall backwards while an Astral Image appeared to block the attack.

All in all, the Astral Panda Cultivator was able to dodge the very first volley of attack from the start with his 'natural' instinct to evade.

"Bah! I expected that much from you, considering how many times you saw me fired No Mercy. Still, if only your evading was as good as your attacks then perhaps, you could end this particular duel immediately!" Kraft commented as he rushed towards Jin shooting No Mercy multiple times. "But that is assuming you can evade all of these right now!"

"Wow. It's been ages since I last saw Kraft taking a fight so seriously. Guess, he really wants to punch Jin to oblivion…or he's just too bored trying to command the Dungeon World. Hmmm… maybe both? Still, it was no doubt a meddlesome situation to be in and I kind of understand their perspectives. If only those Churchies are not such bastards, things might not be that complicated." Kiyu commented as she offered some popcorn to the rest of the skulk who had already created a bench where they could sit and watch the action. With their powers combined, they believed that they had a barrier sufficient to prevent Kraft's attack from going through. So, all they had to do was stay stationary and watch how it unfolds.

"Humans are always the one that make every situation complicated. As long as there's power involved, they bound to scheme something up. Oh by the way, do you guys want to move this bench around so that we can have a better view? Or request the System to hook us up for better viewing entertainment?" Evon subsequently suggested that they should make the bench move along with the action to get the best scenes.

"With the System busy to eject Jin, I honestly don't think you able to get decent footage out of it. But… lucky you, I have some on those flying video drones with me." Kiyu rejected Evon's suggestion of moving the benches by sending out the invisible 'Magic Eyes' out to view the battlefield.

Everyone agreed to Kiyu's alternative as most of them were curious to see Jin in action. They had missed his big showdown against King Baal back in Pandapolis and watching the recording from the System just wasn't the same as experiencing it live.

He changed his No Mercy from a triple gun barrel into a giant scythe and slashed it in the direction of Jin. Just as the Dungeon Supplier was about to evade the attack, he realised that he was about to underestimate the length of the attack. Nay, Jin's mystical eyes had predicted the attack correctly but his hunch instinctively told him that there was something more to the simple swing of the scythe. It was only then his eyes suddenly changed its prediction when Jin's body moved backwards voluntarily.

Thus, he lowered his body even further and Kiyu giggled how Jin could make an excellent gymnast himself. Kraft uttered a quick tsk, not happy that Jin was able to see through the attack. He was sure that it should have been enough to grant him first blood in this fight and he had already prepared a speech to brag about it when he was revived back into the dimensional instance. Hence, he continued his attack by nimbly twirling the scythe with the momentum and going for the next attack.

At this point, Jin had decided to slip, and an astral panda emerged from his body, blocking the attack and at the same time, attempting to hit Kraft. However, the old fox punched the astral image with his chi, dissipating it in an instant. That was not all, the chi from his hand converted into a blast that knocked back Jin.

Kraft used this opportunity to rush forward again to bisect him while Jin was unbalanced from the attack but to his surprise just as he was about to drop the scythe onto him, another Astral Panda came out and swayed his scythe to the other side, causing him to barely miss the dungeon supplier.

At that moment, Jin had decided to use his Maqi to cast a pillar of Astral Ice to push him out of the way. However, he too was surprised when he saw that his ice was crystal blue in colour than the usual white pale ice he was used to. Naturally, Kraft was able to block it but it annoyed him that the ice somehow was able to change its direction at the very last moment, hitting his scythe when he thought he already evaded it.

"For an ice block, it sure hit hard." Kraft stepped two feet back to once again sprint towards Jin.

This time, Jin attempted to conjure his Astral Fire to confirm his suspicions of the change in his powers and it was pure orangey yellow in colour. He felt the Astral Fire was even stronger than he had ever experienced before. Upon seeing the astral fire lit up his opponent's hand, Kraft boosted his chi even more and went for a straight dive.

"Kraft sure is giving Jin some slack despite claiming he is going full power," Tsu mentioned as he requested Kiyu to change the view of the Magic Eye Drones to provide them with an alternative view from the side of the bench so that they could see the action from all angles.

"He is probably testing Jin a little more before being serious. Isn't that part of his mantra when fighting? 'Let the enemy think that they are winning before you obliterate them in one shot'." Kai theorised.

"Nah, he already went for the kill shot a few seconds back." Rex remarked. "While it was a simple swing, the chi imbued would have been enough to cut Jin's head away from his body. But the Panda had managed to evade it quite a few times despite seeing his No Mercy Scythe for the first time."

"Even I was stabbed a few times the first time I fought against him. His ability with the Scythe to slow it down, only for all of that momentum to spring forth in the last moment is just too evil. Kraft is even able to extend the range at any time he likes. Truly a weapon that seems to defy physics." Ixel rolled his eyes, remembering the times he got stabbed in practice.

"For a cultivator of the panda styles which are generally known for their power than evasion, he sure understands how to escape most of the attacks," Ixa said as she too decided to take a small pack of ch.i.p.s to eat. Seeing that the fight had moved past 10 seconds, she believed it was worth something bingeing for. "I would have just destroyed the entire area to stop him from moving."

"He has his inverse eyes to aid him with his dodging but seeing and fighting at the same time are two different matters especially when Kraft's scythe had the ability to distort time and space at the very last moment," Itori commented while quietly taking some popcorn from Kiyu's back.

"Yeah, Kraft would possibly start using his chi to stop all those evading," Evon added as he reinforced the shield on his side while Kraft used his Scythe to grab a few debris and threw it in Jin's direction.

However, the ice block which he had ignored started to sprout icy spiky offshoots that hindered Kraft's movement too and the old fox had to slice them up before moving forward, allowing Jin to conjure his Astral Fire.

"If hurling basic elements to me is all you got, you better make sure that basic stuff hurt!" Kraft shouted as he had enough of the icy offshoots and used his chi to dismantle the entire block.

Playtime was over.
