One day after the meeting, at the Sword of Sufferings headquarters.
Ark watched the people who were training with uniform movements. Since the greenhouse was finished and now it had entered its 2nd month in the fall, the young man began to improve their training. Be more assertive to his subordinates.
Just then, Ark heard the voices of two people arguing.
"What did you say, Little Girl?!"
Jay pointed towards Lisa with an annoyed expression.
"I told you, stop wasting your time, Uncle! If you continue to chase after Mona and waste time, practice opportunities and a stage three upgrade project are for me!"
Mona is a beautiful woman with a cold temperament who is often around Roxanne. After a few months of acquaintance, Jay is now quite familiar with the woman. Lately she seems to be getting closer to Mona and not training seriously, so Lisa scolds her.
"Tsk! The little girl who was always acting spoiled really advised me on discipline. Really bad joke!"
"What did you say, Uncle?!"
"What?! Wanna fight?!"
"LAYO! LET'S FIGHT AND SEE WHO'S AFRAID OF WHO?!"
"..."
Looking at the two who seemed to not get along, Ark let out a long sigh. After a while, the young man finally thought of something. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Interesting! Then you will fight!"
"EH???"
Jay and Lisa were stunned when they heard Ark's sudden remark. Don't see how rude and vicious it is when the two of them talk. In reality, they were the type of person with a knife tongue and a heart of tofu. Somewhat reluctant to hurt others!
"Everyone, stop your training! Besides practice, seeing how vast the world is is also important."
"..."
Ark's speech made Jay and Lisa even more silent. They didn't expect the bickering would develop into a duel or anything like that.
Everyone stopped their training and went to the place that Ark was pointing at. Stand in line on both sides of the road. Leaving both Jay and Lisa on the road alone.
"This fight will be a fight without the use of weapons. Instead, it was a battle using special powers. Because self-training without practice is less effective, while using force while hunting has a secret risk of leaking ...
Let's do a friendly match as a grindstone to improve skills. After all ... I don't want the skills you get to be useless and become displays that can't even be used when needed!
Get ready in your positions!"
Jay and Lisa took their positions with somewhat doubtful expressions. They knew how powerful an ability they had right now. Even in the battle facing the waves of monsters, they only used the basic skill obtained from the first Miracle Root which was an increase of various types of attributes in a short period of time. The skills of a savage beast like an exo-skeleton had yet to be used. Even many core members of Sword of Sufferings were doubtful whether they were still human or not.
"Then ... The friendly match begins!"
"..."
Seeing that the two were silent, Ark let out a long sigh. He then advanced forward while saying.
"You two are standing on the same side. Your opponent is me."
Saying that, Ark folded his sleeves up. He relaxed his muscles, staring at Jay and Lisa with an indifferent expression. This makes everyone excited.
The new members didn't know Ark's abilities because he rarely used his telekinesis skill at the moment. He often fought and killed with his sword techniques. Only occasionally using telekinesis to compress the air while performing finishing slashes. Not at all visible in the eyes of the new members.
What people know about Ark may be its ability in poison. Be it immune from various poisons or it can poison the opponent with deadly poison. After all, only that skill could be seen. Shadow camouflage, night vision, and silent steps are usually not realized even when used.
Unlike when he turns his nails into small but sharp curved claws, or Jay's exo-skeleton that can be seen with the eyes. After all, body enhancement skills and skills with the effect of changes on the body do have different visuals.
"Do we have to do this, Ark?" jay asked doubtfully.
Not answering, Ark suddenly ran forward. His steps were extremely fast, in an instant instantly reaching Jay. The young man darted from the side then did a twisting kick in the air.
Swooshes!
Hearing the sound of splitting the air made Jay convinced that his best friend was serious. It was impossible to escape, he immediately put on the guard position with two hands covering his chest and face.
BRUISES!
Jay's figure immediately bounced backwards a dozen meters. When it stopped, people could see a shell-like layer on both of its arms. However, there are some small cracks in the shell.
Ark's power could not be underestimated at all. In addition to having a trained body at the beginning, he had also tempered the body every time he made an evolution. After completing the evolution of stage three, he was already strong enough to crush opponents at level two just depending on his physical attributes alone. Without using skill, he could break a tree as thick as a thigh or bend an iron pole with just a casual kick. Not to mention when it's serious.
A cold question sounded in Lisa's ears. Before the girl moved, she felt a painful sensation in her stomach. Lisa's body immediately bounced backwards a few meters and then rolled around on the asphalt.
The sight made the audience breathe in a cold breath. But the next incident made them even more confused.
Lisa who was rolling around on the asphalt suddenly got up. He patted the dust on his clothes, but there were obviously no wounds on his body. The girl then shouted in anger.
"THAT'S CHEATING, CHIEF STINKS! YOU CARRIED OUT A SNEAK ATTACK!!!"
"Nobody cheats in a fight. Bottom line"
Ark's expression instantly changed when a critical feeling appeared in his heart. He dodged to the side. The figure of Jay who used a burst of speed shot out rapidly, appearing beside Ark and kicking. It's just been avoided.
"Tsk!" Jay clucked dissatisfied.
"I CAUGHT YOU!!!"
Lisa's figure ran and jumped towards the dodging Ark. By the time the girl thought she had caught on, Ark shrewdly twisted his body. He then grabbed the back of Lisa's leaping collar. Then throw the girl towards Jay who is not far from her.
BRUISES!
The two collided and rolled on the road. When they got up, their expressions looked bad.
'Too fast and too many techniques! Waitaminute! Hurry?'
When thinking that, Lisa's eyes became brighter. Then he screamed.
"Give me time, Uncle!"
At first Jay wanted to refuse, but seeing Lisa's serious face made the man swallow his words. He just said.
"Stop commanding me, Little Girl!"
After saying that, Jay's figure shot forward. Using a burst of speed, he continued to suppress Ark with his punches and kicks. Ark himself continued to avoid while observing Jay's development. At that moment, Lisa's screams were heard again.
"I CAUGHT YOU!!!"
This time Lisa ran towards Ark and did not jump.
Looking towards Lisa who was charging recklessly, Ark immediately swung his leg. Kick the girl's stomach directly. But just then, Lisa's body suddenly leaned forward. He was hit by a kick, but did not bounce off as both feet that stepped on the asphalt held him back. Right then, the girls hands caught Ark's feet.
The confident voice of the sneaky girl sounded.
"This time I really caught you."
Ark's expression changed. At that very moment, Lisa did not wait for Ark to reply. He immediately turned around like a top. Making Ark's body oscillate in the air.
Don't look at her little body. Although small, he actually possessed a giant-like strength.
"HAHAHAHA!!! FEEL THIS ... WILD ... TORNADOES!!!"
Lisa instantly let go of Ark's leg, throwing the young man against the wall in the distance at incredible speed.
At the moment when everyone thought Ark was going to hit the wall violently and blow it up, the young man twisted his body in midair. He then stepped on the wall gently before doing a backflip in the air and landed on the ground lightly. Looks like a cat that lands smoothly when jumping from a height.
Seeing such a strange but incredible sight .. everyone was astonished!
Just then, Ark tilted his head while asking.
"Why did you waste the opportunity? Though if you directly slammed me into the asphalt a few times, I think I will have no minor injuries.
What the hell is that round of gas? Stylish?"
Hearing Ark's words made Lisa's face red as a tomato. He really felt ashamed. The girl suddenly turned around then ran away to the headquarters, acting like a child who was embarrassed for making a mistake!
Seeing that scene, Ark shook his head. Although he won, the young man finally made a decision.
At first, he was worried whether to go alone looking for the 3rd Miracle Root or wait for the other three people then leave together. But after this match, he felt that he could trust his partner more. So in the end, he made a firm decision.
'Wait for Jay, Kurona, and Shirona to break through the third level in about a month. Then go look for Miracle Root together.'
'Destination, one of the dangerous zones ...'
'Giant Aquarium!'
