Chapter 18 Hunting Ground Contract
Chapter 18 Hunting Ground Contract
Grace sighed. She was still hoping that Fu Xiao would help her break the "magic-suppressing spell," so why was he punching the air like that?
"Oh? Let me warm up first to prevent muscle strain!" Fu Xiao said, her hands showing no sign of stopping.
He was still waving his left fist on the side.
"Gray...red...pink? Blue..."
Fu Xiao muttered to himself...
The changing colors on his left fist are only visible to himself, and there is not much explanation about their characteristics. Do I need to figure out the ability corresponding to each color?
Frass had naturally noticed Fu Xiao's unusual behavior long ago, but in his intelligence, Fu Xiao was the least threatening person among these people at the moment.
Therefore, he naturally didn't pay much attention to Fu Xiao's strange behavior.
Rias, who was next to Fuxiao, had just gripped the knight's sword at her waist when she felt a chill down her spine...
"Don't be hasty, Miss Rias! I saw your little tricks!" Frass sneered.
"A Cage of Water!"
There's another mage?!
Rias was about to draw her sword when a pale, withered hand quietly rested on her shoulder.
Beneath the palm of the woman wearing a white veil and with disheveled hair, a wave of water spread around Rias, instantly forming a water sphere-like cage that trapped her within.
"Three against two, don't call me despicable!" Frass chuckled nonchalantly. "After all, you were once a Golden Archmage!"
Seeing Rias trapped in the water prison, Fu Xiao immediately followed up and threw a punch at the suddenly appearing mage. His left hand was flashing with a white light that only he could see.
"Whoosh!"
"windmill!"
As a deep voice spoke, a strong gust of wind swept towards Fu Xiao, giving him a sense of familiarity.
That feeling...
It was as if a stroke of great luck had crashed down on him in his previous life!
"Oh no, this will... blow me away! Rias..."
Fu Xiao crossed her arms and gritted her teeth, resisting what lay before her...
When the "windmill" collided with Fu Xiao's left fist, which was glowing with white light, the powerful wind instantly dissipated.
"Um?"
The disheveled woman in white robes controlled the water cage with one hand, while her other hand froze in mid-air...
The magic was neutralized?
"Huh? What...did you do?" For the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Frass's face...
Fu Xiao was also stunned, but he quickly understood.
This is a characteristic of the "Golden Left Hand"!
The special effect accompanying the white left fist... is it dispelling magic?!
[Golden Left Hand (Prismatic): Each time you throw a punch, your left fist will shimmer with color. When it turns golden: gather all your power into a single point, ignoring all defenses, and the next attack will deal double damage and is guaranteed to hit! White: Magic nullification; the limit of nullification is linked to your power level.]
"Is this the intensity of the prismatic properties?"
They've linked up! [Magic to Physical] and [Golden Left Hand] have now connected.
"So, what will the next punch be...?"
"Whoosh!"
Fu Xiao simply tilted his head slightly, dodging the crossbow bolts that were flying rapidly toward him, and continued toward the pale-faced mage.
"Fu...Xiao..."
Rias, trapped in the water prison, was finding it difficult to breathe...
Faced with Fu Xiao's next punch coming at him, the terrifying sound of wind breaking made the mage in the white robe decisively choose to abandon the Water Prison.
"That's enough! Emma! You've accomplished your task!"
The mage, known as Emma, retreated to Frass's side.
"puff!"
The spherical water prison exploded instantly, and Fu Xiao quickly pulled the soaking wet Rias into his arms, asking with concern, "Are you alright, Rias?"
"No... I feel a little... weak..." Rias gritted her teeth, her hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Is there poison in the water?" Grace immediately realized.
She stepped forward, took out a small jar of green potion, and poured it into Rias's mouth.
"Miss Rias, your father was an outstanding former Order knight, even fighting alongside the Lingxi Empire in the Third Great War. Your mother died in childbirth, and your father succumbed to the lingering illnesses left by the war! The Lingxi Empire achieved a great victory, but you have forever lost your great father!" Frass seemed to be boasting about his control over the situation: "To be honest, I sympathize with you. We are the same kind of people, both victims of war!"
Feeling Rias's breathing gradually stabilize, Fu Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists and curse, "Stop patting yourself on the back! Who's like a despicable person like you?"
"Yes...that's right, I am a despicable guy!" Frass readily admitted this, but his gaze towards Fu Xiao gradually became serious: "However...in my intelligence, Fu Xiao Chris should just be an ordinary teenager, even if he awakened the magic ring, he's just a low-level mage..."
"But... what kind of ability is that? It dispelled the magic?"
"How did you do that?"
"Fine, I'm not opposed to gathering information myself! Let me ask about your health myself?"
Frass stroked Alice's hair beside him, and the little girl, with her head down, slightly opened her mouth, pulling out a silver thread.
"vomit!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out, and weapons hanging on silver lines were pulled out of Alice's mouth, the saliva on the weapons being stretched into countless strands of viscous liquid.
"Cyborgs?"
No wonder... Is the Moon Goddess Flower used to maintain and modify the activity of human flesh and bones?
Grace stared at the weapons pulled from Alice's mouth, her mouth agape. "Hey... are they all magical artifacts?"
A violent magical power flickered across the five weapons, each with a different shape.
Although this guy is a bit noisy, as a small team of assassins specializing in hunting mages, with one cyborg and one mage, and even equipped with an anti-magic stone, Frass is most likely also a professional.
There are also so many magical tools.
It's no wonder that Magno lost to him!
"Ah...which one should I use?" Frass's hand gently brushed over each magical tool.
It was as if he were caressing his lover.
"Don't worry, you won't die immediately. I'll make you die with pain, hatred, and resentment!!"
With one hand gripping the chain, a scythe connected to the chain rapidly formed a circle as he exerted force on his wrist.
His eyes gleamed with a reddish light: "Welcome to my hunting grounds!"
The scythe that Frass was spinning in his hand had already flown to Fu Xiao's front in the next moment.
"Slow spell!"
Bruce shouted from behind, and Fu Xiao reacted, dodging the flying scythe.
But a hot liquid slowly trickled down her face…
"drop..."
The burning pain stimulated Fu Xiao's senses.
Blood?
Fu Xiao looked down at the red blood dripping from her face onto the ground.
Hurry! How could it be so fast?! Is it magic?!
It was a throwing weapon, yet it was faster than the crossbow he was using!
If Bruce hadn't cast the "Slow" spell, he might have been caught in the crossfire of that scythe.
After casting the Slow spell, Bruce was pale and knelt on the ground, feeling extremely dizzy, as if he were seasick.
"Tracey, feed this to Bruce!" Grace tossed a jar of blue potion to Tracey.
He then looked at the scythe that had been pulled back by the chains and landed in Frass's hand: "That chain is a separate magical artifact, imbued with wind element? But... it seems to require charging! It probably can't be used again for a while!"
Given the existence of such a magical artifact, Frass's first attack on him was with a crossbow...
Frass's actions didn't seem to be aimed at quickly killing them, and it wasn't just because this guy was a bit of a psychopath...
He's not an assassin, he's a hunter!
The blood stained with the scythe floated in front of Frass.
"Become my next trophy!"
Frass tucked the two magical artifacts Alice carried into his waistbands, held a long sword in his left hand, and a strangely shaped short sword with two blades of different lengths in his right hand. Between his hands, he gripped the iron chain that hooked onto the scythe.
"The prey has been marked. The [Hunting Ground Contract] is complete. Let me enjoy this moment!"
A red light shone from his neck, eventually forming a bone and tooth necklace, inlaid with three bone teeth representing spoils of war.
"Fu Xiao! Run!!"
