Chapter 289: Watts Battle
Watt is floating in the canyon with his eyes closed. He has become one with the wind. All the spectators seemed to have grown used to it but they were still amazed at Watt’s persistence.
But Watt was in a whole different world. The main reason he came here is to achieve elemental fusion. He was amazed when he saw Sam’s fire elemental fusion and he understood the advantages. The spiritual energy consumption might be high, but in certain cases, the elemental fusion state gives many more advantages.
As for his wind element, the wind is present in almost all the possible locations of battles and he can use it to increase his speed, dexterity, senses, and battle awareness. His attacks will become easier to execute and he can control the metal cards even more efficiently as the surrounding wind will be easier to manipulate.
Even though he can still go through the body tempering using wind elements which will increase his chances at elemental fusion, he doesn’t have the same comprehension abilities that Sam has and he is using the most straightforward way he could think of.
Since he needs the wind elemental fusion and wants to be like the wind, he will force himself to feel how wind acts and be one with it.
Although this method seemed brutal and hard to persist, he was still able to see the results and he can easily execute partial fusion.
After a week of progress, he was able to undergo elemental fusion with his skin.
And this time, he can control himself to be part of a certain wind current without being throw away towards the cliff walls like a ragdoll., but he wasn’t able to deal stay still completely.
In fact, if Watt failed to obtain at least fifty percent elemental fusion, he would stay stuck in this wind currents forever, provided that he can stay alive for that long.
As for his survival, he is absorbing the wind elemental energy from the currents and occasionally taking in some minced meat directly into his throat through the space jade.
While he was immersed in his training, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis and he immediately opened his eyes. An arrow whizzed towards. He tilted his head a bit and caught the arrow with his hands.
He immediately tiled his body so that he can get a better view and used the partial elemental fusion so that he could resist the wind flow and move slower. He saw a person standing on the cliff where he jumped in from.
It is a young man in his early twenties. He is holding a longbow and is staring at Watt with a peculiar smile.
While Watt is watching him, the man once again shot an arrow and surprisingly he didn’t aim at Watt, instead, he aimed at some random spot in the canyon, but the wind current deflected the arrow and it whizzed towards Watt.
Watt barely dodged it and the arrow flew past him, after some deflections, it struck itself into the canyon wall.
He looked at the opponent coldly, he doesn’t know who this guy is, but he does know why he is here. Sam already warned him before that some trouble makers will come looking for him. He just didn’t expect to be caught in such a difficult position.This chapter made its debut appearance via N0v3lB1n.
Right now, he is stuck inside the wind currents and it is extremely difficult to get out of here. But the other party seemed to be taking the wind currents to his advantage and is attacking with the arrows.
Watt is mostly using the wind currents, although he might not be able to calculate the currents and timings like the archer, he has spent enough time here to be familiar with all the wind currents and their patterns.
By this time, the spectators near the entrance of the whole canyon saw the battle and were completely surprised. Either the archer’s attacks using the whole wind currents or Watt’s methods to counter them, both are unfathomable. All they can do is watch it in awe.
The archer slowly lost patience and he took out another arrow and this time it is a lot different than the previous cases because this one has some runes engraved on it.
He concentrated the elemental energy to the arrow and bow as they shined brightly. The amount of energy is far behind what Watt could use. That is due to the difference in levels.
As the archer pulled the bowstring to the extreme level, he looked at Watt with a hint of admiration. The veins on his hand are on verge of bursting and all his body is surging with power, this is his ultimate move, he believed that he could take down Watt with this.
Although it might not be able to kill Watt, his goal is not to kill him anyway.
As he was about to release his arrow, he saw a peculiar smile on Watt’s face and his expression grew serious, but he was too late.
At this moment, Watt released another metallic card, it flew through the currents and impaled itself on the cliff wall and suddenly there was a torrential explosion of the wall and that wall happened to be the place where the archer is standing.
The archer immediately lost his footing and fell into the canyon and to his dismay, the attack which he was conjuring backlashed making him puke blood.
He was like a kite in a typhoon, just like how Watt was on his first day, he couldn’t control his body and crashed several times before coming towards Watt.
Watt extended his hand and caught him by his neck. He took the spatial ring of the person and used a metallic card to cut his throat before throwing him away.
Even, before dying he doesn’t know how he died and his soul left his body in confusion.
In fact, it is quite easy. Watt threw the cards in such a way that they would impale on the cliff walls in a certain position.
The cards might be small, but the attack and the damage it can do is not exactly small. Due to the repeated attacks on the wall, Watt finally used a card with an inscription etched on it.
There are some cards with inscriptions that are given to him by Sam. And due to an explosion caused by the inscription the already damaged rock was destroyed. Actually, the damaged rock volume is very small, and it barely accommodated the two feet of the attacker but that was enough to make the other party lose his footing and enter the canyon.
Watt has planned this from the start, he might not be able to attack him from inside the canyon, but that doesn’t mean he cannot get the other party inside. And once, the other party is inside, it is his territory.
Unlike, the previous two these guys didn’t even have any conversation, but Watt didn’t care. He just left the dead body to stray away with the currents and he went back to train. After a few days of straying, if crashed towards the entrance of the canyon, where people cleared to not let it block the entrance.
