Chapter 97 A Failed But Terrifying Katana!

The surrounding vegetation around the small hump-shaped hill was verdant with various tall trees, especially eucalyptus trees that were prolific in these woods. Now some areas surrounding the small hill were already being cleaned with no trees, which was because of an earlier confrontation between Bobby and the sharpshooter, and later the ground was filled with multiple pointy-shaped spikes made of the earth. Currently, in one of the tallest eucalyptus trees stood a man on one foot with his black cloak producing flapping sounds as if like a flag hoisted high above in the air. He halted his attack as Bobby dodged the next three spears coming out of the earth and afterward, standing over the branch of a tree.

But the next instant, he was staggered to find out the wound on Bobby's belly healed up in a flash just after removing that spear from Bobby's body, which was formed from his Earth Spike skill.

Within seconds the Assassin No.1 retained his composer and remarked in his usual icy, indifferent tone. "Oh, now it's becoming a bit more interesting. Kukuku…. an instantaneous regeneration ability! Wow, I never in my wildest thought that I might encounter a target with this heaven-defying ability." He then clicked his tongue and further added with excitement shown in his tone. "Mr. Bradford, I have repeatedly heard this fable story about those with this ability from my master, yes rarely do they appear and he repeatedly warned us that if we encountered one, we should walk out of the job and should stop that mission saying that they were unkillable and the aftermath will be beyond us…. But, hee-hee-hee, I don't quite share the same theory with him as I thought of cutting one of them down with my soul weapon. And here I'm, finally meeting someone with that exact ability. Since you saw such a miraculous sight to behold for my eyes, then I think it'll be impolite of me to hold back."

Hearing that coming from him, Bobby, on the other hand, wondered in his head. "Hmm, for an assassin, he's so chatty….. Is he talking about vampires?"

Suddenly Bobby saw the Assassin with the code name, No.1 making various hand seals and also sensed the rapidly rising energy which was concentrated in both of his palms, and soon he made a loud cry saying. "Earth elemental Pseudo Magi Tier 1 mode, activate!"

He then raised both hands and the next thing, three halo diagrams appeared just above his hands.

Seeing that, Bobby hushed in a barely audible tone, reminding himself. "Last time, I saw two halo diagrams in his hands and he used two skills at the same time. Now, there are three. Does that mean he is now going to use three spells at a time?"

"You're right indeed. And what a lucky day, bro? First, you made this calculative and super-duper sharp sniper, and then now, you're going to face a magus who could ignite Pseudo Magi Tier-1 mode. But be extremely cautious, okay?" Cynthia responded, explaining patiently, and she further warned him.

At that time, Assassin No.1 hushed softly. "Earth spikes, rise!" In the next instant, more than two dozen pointy-shaped spikes over the ground gradually began to compress, becoming slander, and soon transformed into several weapons, including spears, a large number of slightly curved daggers, and multiple countless numbers of very thin needles. All of those weapons were levitated in the air. Then he made a waving motion toward Bobby and all weapons quickly flew toward him.

The flying weapons were arranged in an array that Bobby would have a very hard time dodging them as most of their positions were kept in such a way that those weapons complemented each other's weaknesses.

Bobby activated his Devil's Eye Ocular technique and then used the X-ray mode to see those hidden needles within other weapons. Then he used the First law of Ninja's movement technique, Racing the Wind, and easily avoided all of them as he jumped from one tree to another swiftly like a super-fast and nimble monkey. The aftermath was that all the trees were destroyed and multiple specks of wood in various shapes and sizes were blown around the area like dust particles.

Regardless, various weapons kept coming after him and thereby leaving the same disturbance destroying all the trees as Bobby kept evading.

"Gravity amplification, 3x amplify!" The assassin uttered softly and this time Bobby was prepared for this as he suddenly started jumping large gaps and sometimes stepping on various trees.

Bobby was still, however, caught in the AOE effect of the gravity spell of his opponent, rendering his movements dull, slowing down immensely, and this time, he had no choice but to face the incoming weapons head-on.

Standing still, Bobby did not show the slightest blink of panic on his face. At that time, he removed the pair of sunglasses and said, "Activate to katana mode!" As soon as he said that, the pair of sunglasses began to fold, the glasses becoming the blade, and the frame becoming the handle of the sword.

Bobby then held the handle of the katana with his right hand, and he made a simple swinging motion.

Boom!

With the swing of the blade, the air roared, sending an explosive concentration of energy from the katana, blowing all the Earth-made weapons into fine dust, while the energy from the katana ?remained in the wind, making large destruction to the vegetation, making a long scar from the sword in the terrain a quarter of a mile away from Bobby.

Seeing the unintentional destruction of large vegetation, Bobby made a wry smile and whispered under his breath. "Sorry, it seemed like this thing is still in a very unstable state."

In contrast to Bobby's expression, as he saw the katana in his hand was still a failure, the other two; the assassins in the tree were shocked as his line of vision traced along the path of the energy and he exclaimed in excitement. "This is going to be a hell of a fight."

And secondly, Cynthia jumped up to her feet and began to bloviate as her two well-developed creamy white melons began to sway up and down as she spoke. "Yo, that's one fucking-awesome katana, I have ever witnessed in my entire life. Ah, man, I thought we are besties now. And you still keep this from me. I think I need an explanation, right, right?..."

"Well, there's nothing to hide from you, to begin with. It's just that I thought you were aware of this as you are kind of like the one who practically able to eavesdrop on me every time say, 24/7."

Bobby answered calmly as he didn't want to sabotage his relationship with her over such things, and more importantly, he was scared of hearing from her again one of her biggest tantrums that he was afraid of.

"Oh, I remember it now. Um, yeah, you miss the part of my drama with Scarlette, this also happened exactly after 1st month of my training with my sensei…. Truth be told, my sensei didn't just teach me martial arts, he also taught me how to make Ninja tools and things like that. Um, hey, anyway, I'm kind of busy right now. All I can say now is that it was powered by one of those power stones, here I used the red one….. So, can we continue this sometime later?"

"Then you better just finish this show and I think the climax is just around the corner as you have already revealed one of your trump's cards," Cynthia replied and she remained silent again.

Bobby fiddled the blade with his fingers and then he gradually glanced up and saw that the Assassin was still standing on the top of the tree. "So you are still not going to come down then I think I'll make him."

However, he hesitated as he did not want to destroy the most healthy tree in the area, judging by its height. "Fine, just the tip then." Bobby then made a waving motion upward-directed toward the assassin and a red color slightly curved line moved upward toward him.

Instead of moving away from the incoming mass of extremely concentrated, and unstable Origin Chi, the Assassin with the code name No.1 made various hand seals and he shouted while touching the third halo diagram for the first time and he yelped. "Reverse Gravity Amplification, 2x amplified."

As soon as it entered the area of the field covered by the AOE effect of Reverse Gravity, the incoming mass of the red line abruptly changed its direction, missed the target and it flew up high in the air and exploded with a loud booming sound. As if a firework, tiny particles of red-colored origin chi fell to the ground and disappeared entirely.

"Are you still going to test me? Could we end this fight soon, as I have to bid my girlfriend a fond farewell as she prepares to leave today for mother earth?" Bobby suggested as he was still not planning to preserve that healthy tree.

"Alright, then," the assassin began to move down and within a few seconds, he was standing on the ground. "Since you have taken out your weapon then maybe it's time for me too." He then bit his index finger and quickly made some marks over his forehead with his blood and he began to chant a spell in Oraa, suddenly the blood marks on his forehead shined with white light and the next moment a weapon slowly began to materialize just before him and he caught it. "Come forth, My Soul Weapon!"

Bobby glanced at the long and black weapon in the Assassin No.1's hand and he said, "Oh, it's a halberd!"
