Chapter 143: Souta vs. Gregory 4

Chapter 142 - Chain Quest: Souta vs. Gregory 4

"Huff... Huff..." Gregory was gasping as blood flow down from his mouth. He looked down at the sword that pierced his shoulder.

"This is a dark grade sword... A weapon of national level."

He muttered while looking at the sword. Slowly lifting up his hand, he grabbed the blade of the sword.

He was about to pull out the sword when he felt something invading his mind.

"Argh! Damn! This sword!" Gregory cursed and endured it before he finally pulled out the sword on his shoulder.

"A dark grade weapon is really different from other weapons."

He knew that he wouldn't be able to use this sword. The energy of this sword was damaging his mana pool. If he wasn't fighting Souta, he would try to control this sword but now, he doesn't want to do it because he would only exhaust himself.

Also, since the owner was Souta, Souta could control this energy at will so if he continued to hold this sword, Souta could manipulate the energy to utterly destroy him. And that's what he was avoiding to happen.

...

Souta pushed himself out of the ground. He waved his hand and his energy dispersed the smoke around him.

He looked at the system and saw that he only has ten minutes to finish the quest. He knew that Lumilia already left with his other classmates, so he doesn't need to worry about her. He only needed to defeat Gregory and follow her.

But there's one thing that in his mind. And that's Lumilia's father, Ursus Von Asvares. After casting a tier 3 spell [Ice Dome], Ursus didn't show his presence nor move to stop Souta and Lumilia.

"I need to wrap this up quickly," Souta muttered in a low voice and he wiped the blood on his mouth.

He looked around and saw Gregory was standing thirty meters away from him. And the [Vajra Sword Saya] was embedded on the ground beside Gregory.

"The Vajra sword..." Souta muttered as he squinted his eyes and looked at Gregory.

He knew the reason why Gregory wasn't using the Vajra sword. It was because whoever held it would feel the sword controlling their body. It was also the reason why Souta didn't care if someone took his sword.

'You can control the sword by using the energy that I provided in your body.' A feminine voice sounded in his mind.

"Control?!" Souta was surprised when he heard her words. It's the first time he heard that this sword has this function.

The [Vajra Sword Saya] was stronger than it was in the game and also more dangerous. Because the will inside the sword was sentient and could do other things than what it was in the game.

"Okay." Souta nodded his head and he opened his palm. He controlled his energy inside his body.

He felt the presence of the Vajra sword. Even if he closed his eyes, he could sense the location of the sword with the energy that was connected to him.

"This is really helpful." Souta couldn't help but smile. He opened his palm and the Vajra sword flew towards his hand.

Swoosh!

Souta grabbed the sword and without hesitation, he dashed towards Gregory.

Gregory braced himself and he casted another spell.

[Blazing Earth Wall]!

A ten-meter tall flaming wall rose up from the ground in front of Souta. Its width was thirty meters.

Souta bent knees and jumped over the wall but the wall showed some movements.

Ohm!

The ten-meter tall flaming walls grew taller and it became a thirty-meter tall flaming wall.

"What?" Souta was surprised. He was going to crash in the flaming wall, so he swung his sword in the wall.

[Crimson Moon]!!

[Crimson Moon]!!

He used the equipment skill [Crimson Moon] repeatedly and the flaming wall showed cracks on it.

"For the finishing touch." Souta pulled back his hand and thrust his sword forward.

[Stab]!

He used [Stab] skill and his sword pierced through the flaming wall. The piercing effect of this skill was high, so once the flaming wall showed cracks on it he could easily shatter it with [Stab] skill.

Swoosh!

Souta passed over the walls and he found that Gregory was already gone.

"Hmm...?" Souta frowned and he quickly turned around while casting [Shadow Bind] and [Shadow Ball] at the same time.

Towering tentacles-like shadows rose from the ground. The shadows were like Souta's body at all so he could sense when it made contact with an unknown object. He would be able to immediately knew Gregory's position if one of the shadows touched Gregory.

"Gone...?" Souta squinted his eyes and he looked in the sky above him. He tried to find if Gregory was in the air but Gregory also wasn't in the air.

He then felt a slight tremble on the ground beneath his feet. Souta opened his eyes widely and he immediately switched position with the ball of shadow that he threw before.

Swoosh!

Just one second after he vanished, the ground exploded and a pillar of flame stood on it.

Boom!

"That was close..." Souta muttered in a low voice while looking at the pillar of flame.

That was a high-level combat arts called [Ground Bursting Strike]. He would suffer heavy injury in his body if that skill hit him.

After a few moments, the pillar of flames dissipated and Souta saw Gregory. He knew that Gregory was also tired like him and both of them wouldn't be able to last any longer.

Souta glanced at his system and saw that he only have seven minutes left to complete the quest.

"I'll defeat you," Gregory muttered while looking at Souta with a serious expression. He wasn't fighting to capture Lumilia anymore, he was fighting to defeat Souta. He doesn't want to suffer a loss from a mere student.

He would lose his face that way and he wanted to avoid that.

...

In the distance, Randolf and Yujin were watching the battle.

"This will decide the battle. Even if that fat man won the battle, he still wouldn't be able to stop Lumilia from leaving the city." Randolf commented while watching the battle.

He could say that there's no point in continuing this battle. Even if Souta lost or won, Lumilia would still be able to leave this city. It's already decided that it's Souta's overall victory.

Yujin glanced at Randolf when he heard Randolf's words. He nodded and said, "...yeah, he did have any knights with him so who's going to stop class rep. Even if there are some knights they wouldn't be able to prevent class rep from leaving this city."

After all, the students of the Mage Class 1-B were with Lumilia and the C-rank adventurers.

Randolf looked at Yujin and asked, "Are you not going to leave? I guess that the city guards would be coming here soon."

The reason why he knew that the city guards were going to come here was because of his mysterious guard. That guard of his reported that the city guards of his were preparing themselves to come here anytime.

Randolf also heard from his guard that the city guard didn't dare to come here. He guessed that the city lord has some deal with the nobles that's why the city lord didn't interfere with this chaos.

That deal was only not to interfere with the noble's work. The city lord wouldn't do anything within a time. Of course, by doing nothing it also means that the city lord wouldn't help the noble capture Lumilia.

The city lord was only watching this scene like a passerby.

"What about you?" Yujin asked back as he looked at Randolf in the eyes.

"Hehe, I will watch this fight until the end. It's interesting that way." Randolf laughed.

...

"We're going to move after five minutes. Tell the guards to prepare themselves." The city lord said as he placed both of his hands on the back.

He was looking at the battle from the city lord mansion at the center of the city. He could clearly see the battle in his position so he knew that the battle was going to end soon.

"Yes, My lord." The assistant bowed his head before he left.

The city lord glanced at his assistant before he looked at the battle.

He opened his mouth and muttered, "I didn't expect that a student has full control over a dark grade weapon. This piece of news soon would shake the whole kingdom and everyone will know that students have a dark grade weapon."

...

"I'm going to finish this," Gregory said and he took a deep breath. He then raised both of his hands and opened his palms.

His magic power spiked up and he gathered it on his palm. A huge orange magic circle formed on his palms.

[Red Striking Shot]!

A red beam shot out from the magic circle and it flew straight to Souta. The force behind this attack was devastating and if Souta took it head-on, Souta would be half dead.

Souta looked at this tier 3 spell with a serious expression on his face. He lifted up his hand and pointed his finger at it.

A red ball of energy formed on the tip of Souta's finger. The red ball spun like a razor and it expanded before it shrunk.

[Bestrou]!

After charging, it shot a powerful beam towards Gregory.
