Chapter 97: Destructive Duo: Kenshin and Sameira! Fruitful Work!
After fighting for five hours non-stop, Erix, Kenshin, and Sameira killed tens of thousands of monsters!
Kenshin and Sameira's eyes had turned red because fighting without a break weighed heavily on their mind and spirit, especially because of their combat style that used concept powers.
'Flowing Roar.'
Sameira clasped her palms before she leaned back and quickly pulled back her palms while opening them like flowers, causing a potent amount of wind to condense with silverish-green layers that spun in the opposite direction of how the internal wind orb spun!
A second later, her entire body protruded veins, and she lurched her palms forward, causing the terrifying dual whirling orb to open as it released a potent three meters-thick laser-like projectile with shining silverish-green energy spiraling around it.
Its speed was way faster than sound as the deadly spiraling beam crossed a distance of 10 kilometers in a second, killing all monsters in the way instantly!
That was the last point of her mana and Astral Ki, which was the energy pool of her class, Astral Harmony Artist!
And that attack was her most powerful move, a mix of a technique she created and her class skill!
"Honey, I am going up to take a break."
Saying that to Kenshin, Sameira flew after dodging an attack and chugging a mana potion to recover her mana for flying.
The monsters were reduced by a huge chunk in the area, so the trio had had more ease since the last hour.
Unfortunately, Erix couldn't comprehend and acquire any concept, and another unfortunate thing was that no matter how many monsters they killed here, their class level-up guage didn't fill up with experience since they could only fill it by killing Supra-Order monsters on Earth.
However, it was only a matter of time before their classes leveled up after killing several Supra-Order monsters on Earth.
"We are returning to the mountain peak to take a break, Erix!" Kenshin shouted as he punched ahead, unleashing a long, vertically swirling whirlpool that shredded several monsters before him up to fifty meters in a second!
"I'll continue for a while!"
"Alright, son! Since you got unlimited stamina, push yourself to more extremes! Understand the essence of a fist, a punch, and incorporate it into your consciousness!"
"Don't worry! I ain't returning without getting my concept, old man!"
Unlike Sameira and Kenshin, who required higher mental focus and consumption in their fighting style due to using their concept powers in their attacks, they were exhausted.
But Erix had yet to reach that level, and he had unlimited stamina, so he continued fighting.
Of course, he was still slightly weary in his mind because constantly battling for five hours required not only stamina but also focus, which drained his mind.
Moreover, he was also creating some martial moves consisting of punch attacks.
So far, he has succeeded in creating one proper technique called Whirling Punch, where he would twist his fist rapidly at a precise 0.5-second window after launching his punch while also initiating a minor yet firm and quick spinning motion by either of his feet to build up more power of his physical body and transfer it to the strike.
Since both spinning motion and timing of execution were quick at a speed only achievable with 200 agility, Erix had a hard time perfecting this move.
But when he did, the result made his blood boil with excitement as the power launched from the Whirlwind Punch was destructive!
Especially since the Whirling Punch paired with his +50% punch damage and Imposing Fist skill!
Seeing five monsters rushing towards him at once, Erix grinned and launched Whirling Punch with 30 mana of Imposing Fist!
His punch unleashed a whirling transparent light blue force that opened like a spinning whirlpool for a second and simultaneously shredded all five monsters around level 70!
The disadvantage of this move was that its effective range was just five meters and lasted for barely a second.
If a target was six meters away from Erix, and he launched Whirling Punch, the destructive vortex would only appear for a second, and everything within five meters of Erix would be assaulted by a sharp and pressuring spinning force filled with pure offense.
If a target stayed stay even half a meter away from the whirlpool's edge, it would only feel a slight vacuum for as long as the vortex lasted, which was barely a second, and push the target back a bit, dealing almost no damage.
'This move is powerful in short range, but I have to improve it and also make more and better techniques,' Erix thought as he glanced at the destruction caused by Sameira and Kenshin.
Especially that last attack of Sameira. It caused his hair to stand due to its devastating power and range!
'I will create something like that,' Erix was fired up.
'No, I will create something even better than that!'
*Screech!!*
Several sharp cries rang near Erix before he felt air trembling.
Four incoming Black Magma Vultures released Dark Magma Shots from their mouths toward Erix, and his body moved without him looking back as he controlled his movement with his mind by manipulating his metal armor and dodging the attacks with ease.
But…how?
'What the fuck did I just do?' Erix was dumbfounded. He could actually clearly sense or, rather, clearly picture the attack trajectory and their aura power without looking at them!
[Congratulations! Your skill, Aura Gear, has evolved into Aura Perception due to you breaking the limits of Aura Gear skill by training relentlessly with it.]
Since Erix had Aura Gear activated all the time and mastered the way to sense aurae in this five-hour non-stop combat, he accidentally evolved the skill by breaking his limits!
[Aura Perception]
_Rank: Tier-3
_Effect: Allows you to sense everything around you to a certain distance without using your eyes by feeling the ethereal thread of reality's structure and promptly picturing a skeleton version of your live surroundings in your mind.
Erix grinned as he could indeed feel his perception changing drastically!
'I feel like a god…ok, that's stretching it, but this is awesome!'
*Roarr!*
*Crack!*
Suddenly, Erix sensed danger bells ringing in his ears as he promptly flew upward like a rocket.
Half a second later, the ground beneath him cracked open with a burst of powerful magma surging with magic flowing out and revealing a ten-meter giant strange monster with the head of a lion with sharp dark red volcanic teeth, powerful red-cracked deer legs, pitch black scaled body with magma vein patterns on its body, a pair of giant curved horns and a crocodile tail!
