Chapter 134: Elemental Derivative
"What the hell....?" Eli was bewildered.
"Somehow the rumours of your fight spread and students cut the classes to see" Aadya said indifferently as she approached him.
Eli glanced at her and frowned.
"No, I didn't" Aadya who knew what was going on in his head said seriously, Her eyes lingered in his ear before looking at his eyes.
".....sigh" Eli contemplated for a second before sighing and said, "I trust you, teach".
Aadya nodded her head and walked left him not before warning,
"Don't not lose your emotion!"
"hehe...well, I think about" Eli nonchalantly said.
Aadya returned to her place where the other two professors presented there as to witness the 'Psuedo-Death Duel'.
She persuaded the principal to give permission for the duel though, he was really scared to allow it.
If anything happens, the Headmaster's Head would be no more, as he would first die a pathetic death.
But after hearing Aadya would protect him no matter the cost, he sat silent and reluctantly allowed it and asked two more professors.... just in case anything went wrong.
This was the first time a pseudo-death duel between Soulless and Transcendents.
"I am excited to see a fight between Mortal and Immortal, Pesdo-Deathmatch"
"Yaa, I am also..."
"Aaa, Isn't that 'The Fallen Physopath'?"
"Hmm?...I don't think so...this guy is really charming compared to the dull, lifeless Psychopath"
"tsk, tsk, it's going to be really hurt to see a handsome man disfiguring"
"Hmm, Hmm"
"That fucking Butcher!!!...His ugly face cannot be compared to a charming man...what his name again?"
"Well, we don't know...we only know butcher is going to fight someone in the Elite Class"
"I see...so he again gunning off handsome man's woman?"
"Yes"
"I thought, he settled with three toys?"
"...I don't know maybe that woman must be so gorgeous, right?"
"hehe...she must have used her whole luck"
"I wonder who is that bitch, this handsome man is trying to protect"
"Maybe Elven princess?"
"No, no, no, the butcher won't go for High-noble women and Royalties.....he is a coward"
"Oh....!!"
'chatter'
"Damn it, I hate that handsome guy"
"Curse you bastard, You won't have a pretty face anymore"
"Hey, do you know he was just a commoner?"
"You know him?"
"Nah, I just heard, I don't know his name though"
"Aa, have you seen 'The Fallen Psychopath'?"
"Hmmm...no, Someone said he was under suspension for defiling Saintess Luna"
"urgg....I really wanted to kill that filthy thing...how dare he touch our saintess with his filthy hand"
"I know, I know, man but what we can do. All we have to cheer our saintess...she is really cute, you know"
'chatter'
Students chatted among them. While girls were fawning over Handsome, Boy's cursing him.....being handsome sometimes had its disadvantages though no one cared about it.
'Thud, Thud'
Suddenly everyone turned silent when they heard a heavy sound.
Looking at it, they saw a bulky brown-haired wolf boy with yellow eyes, wearing heavy silver armour, and a very long and wide sword hanging behind his back.
'Thud'
Finally, he stood in front of Eli.
Before that wolf didn't show much emotion but now he was glaring and smiling wickedly at Eli.
'Class-A, Rank-1' Eli thought when he saw Batch on armour.
"Listen" Aadya's indifferent voice echoed throughout the arena.
"Rules are simple, any kind of potions are not allowed, No cheating and I will only stop if Mortal is about to die.....any questions?"
""None""
"Then, Introduce yourself?"
"I am Jayden Adolphus, Belong to the Adolphus tribe, 8-Star Ranker"
"wwwoooohhhhh"
'clap, clap'
Every boy clapped and shouted happily as if their hero had come.
Though Girls never liked him, some of them still shouted for his noble name.
"I am Asher Eli, Farmer, Mortal"
'ssshhhhh'
Everyone sucked cold air, they never thought he was that same guy who wreaked havoc in the middle of the city and defiled Saitness of Dawn Kingdom....in just 3 days.
"hhoooooo"
"Get away, you loser!!!"
"You Psychopath!!!"
"Kill him, Butcher, Kill him for our dear Saintess Luna Dawn"
"He is one who defiled our Saintess"
"Yes, We want justice"
"We want justice"
Everyone started to follow suit....
'They want justice from one who wants to toy with women' Eli thought as he frowned.
"SILENCE!!"
With a single word from Aadya, the Entire Arena turned silent.
"Do you want to recapitulate the conditions?"
""No""
"I understand"
"Let's Begin!!!"
Everyone eagerly waiting for the bloodbath but,
"..."
"..."
"Take your weapon, I don't want to end this fight fastly" Jayden said, 'It's been 2 months since I gone all out', he thought.
Eli took his Celestria.
And looked at the surroundings and then looked at Jayden.
'Ting'
Within a second, Eli stomped the ground and swung his Celestria at Jayden's uncovered neck though Jayden blocked it simply by his long sword.
Eli twisted his body and turned around as he hit again, but,
'Ting'
Eli then backed off after realizing he couldn't hit.
/Mana Breathing/
'Deep Inhale'
"Did you finally realize? I am stronger than some low-class brat" Jayden shouted as his face turned wicked.
"THUD"
Jayden stomped the ground and appeared in front of Eli, then Instead of using his long weapon, he punched Eli's gut, However,
'Boom'
Eli caught his hand and swung his Celestria at his neck again. Jayden raised his eyebrows and bent his body backwards as Celestria just missed and backed off.
'He is faster' Eli thought. Even though Jayden was bulky and wearing heavy armour, he moved smoothly and fast.
'He can withstand my punch?' Jayden was surprised to see someone take his punch head-on. His punch could easily kill a 9-Star Rank Monster.
Everyone frowned, they thought it would one-sided battle or a fierce battle but these two were playing touch-and-leave games.
However, Judges and Elite students know both of them gauging their strengths.
The real fight was yet to start.
"Flame Arts: 1st Form"
"Terra Arts: 1st Form"
Eli's pupil turned fierce red and forest green. Eli made his first move since the opponent was faster and heavier.
Red flames covered Celestria's tips while sand gathered under his black shoes, however,
"Your luck won't be any longer"
Jayden said as he suddenly appeared in front of Eli and swung his huge sword vertically.
While Eli suddenly felt....slow action for some reason, Jayden was slow....well, more like a projection of Jayden's body as if Eli could see his next moment.
Well, Eli didn't care, Eli just gathered sand on his left hand and covered it as he caught Jayden's huge sword.
"ssssshhhoooohhh"
"Crack, Crack"
The ground cracked as Eli slightly pushed down.
Eli simply stared at Jayden as he swung his Celestria at Jayden's long ears.
Jayden's eyes widened in shock as he tried to pull his huge sword but he couldn't he felt Eli holding his sword tightly so he let it go and backed off suddenly.
When Jayden backed off, Eli stared at his huge weapon which was light as a feather.
"???" Suddenly Eli felt stored earth elements were greedily for his body sucked by the huge sword.
"Magnes Elemental user?" He looked at Jayden.
"...." Jayden didn't answer Eli's question because everyone already knew however, Eli's next words widened his eyes,
"Is it Aritfact?" Eli mumbled silently.
'How did he..' Jayden gulped.
Everyone didn't understand what was going on because Eli was mumbling in the battleground.
"Die you fucker"
"BBOOMM"
Jayden hurriedly lept on Eli, he gathered his full on his arm and suddenly punched Eli's head who was checking the huge sword.
'tinggg....chuuukk'
However, Eli blocked his attack by using the opponent's huge sword and also pierced his armour without a problem.
'Interesting....' Eli muttered as he watched, Jayden backed off and soon his weapon flew towards him when Eli loosened his grip lightly.
"How did you..." Although, Jayden got his weapon...his armour which was as strong as the dragon's skin easily pierced like paper...Jayden looked at Eli with disbelieving eyes while the armour slowly healed itself.
"Hmmm? Well, I control Elements" Eli said half-heartedly.
After analysing Jayden's sword, Eli grasped the function.
"ggrrrrr" Jayden growled at his enemy, 'Did I dig my own grave?...no, no, it must be luck'.
Not many understand what's happening, however, both Rize and Aadya raised their eyebrows in surprise.
'So he can control sub-elements now? But he just started Yesterday...' Aadya looked at him amazed expression and... a little envious?
'So, that's how he used in the morning....he simply created air and changed its composition and it attached to that boy's body and then poured mud....when it reacted and started to emit that disgusting smell.....Impressive' Rize was impressed by the idea. She arrived early morning exactly when Eli used his technique and saw his technique with precision control.
"Your armour will react to your own particular elemental signature...as you use it to full advantage without relying on the spell" Eli said nodding as if he understood.
In layman's terms, Jayden instead of using spells to attack and defend, simply used the armour to do the job and the armour would turn weak if Eli poured the opposite of mana signature.
Though he has to capture Jayden first.
"Impressive...to think that someone would able to make it...hmm hmm" Eli nodded and was fascinated by the person who made Magnetic armour.
"I-I don't know what you are talking" Jayden refused to say anything that could harm his benefactor and started to attack Eli.
"Terra Arts: 1st Form"
"Elemental Derivative"
Soon flames disappeared instead,
'ssshhh'
'sshhhh'
Two different balls appeared in front of Eli and with a cheerful smile he said,
"Not bad, not bad at all...Mr. Dog"
Jayden, even spectators felt a shiver run down everyone's spine when Eli smiled softly.
