Chapter 112: Hanma Vs Aur
Aur just smiled a mysterious smile and said in a nonchalant term, "I will take everything away from you."
"You…" Hanma extended his hand forward to attack Aur, however, just as he was about to reach Aur.
Aur hurriedly blocked the attack with the ring.
"Noo," Hanma roared, pausing in mid-air looking at the ring. "Give me this kid."
Aur quickly took back the ring and backed ten meters from Hanma simultaneously.
"Do you want your power to be weakened simultaneously and be bombarded with the experts from the academy too?" Aur asked with a sneer forming on his face.
"You know I am one of the students of the academy, and this is a dorm inside the academy." Aur said innocently. "If I destroy this, although your highness might not die, however, the injuries from the consequences will be terrifying, won't they?"
"You…"
Hanma looked at Aur silently with his gaze narrowing at him by the moment.
"Alright, fine, you win. What do you want, kid?" Hanma asked.
"Well, I want a lot of things, but first, I want to kill you-"
"Tell me what you want already, kid. I know that you are not that pure and heroic." Hanma spoke impatiently.
"Since you are alone, I assume you haven't told anyone about it already, and you must want something from me to confront me alone. If you wanted to be brought to justice, the first thing you would have done was to inform the leader and the elders already."
"Oh," Aur raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man. "You might not be as stupid as I thought."
"So what is it that you want, kid?" Hanma said as he turned a deaf ear to the taunt of Aur completely. "Besides trying to rile my emotions, are you nothing but empty vessels?"
"Well, I want your inheritance, that's all." Aur said nonchalantly.
"Inheritance, huh?" Hanma looked at Aur with narrowed eyes. "Alright, I will give it to you, my inheritance."
"You agreed so easily?" Aur spoke with a surprised expression, only to see a sword that was sent hurtling towards himself.
"I see it isn't a deal then." His crimson eyes narrowed as he directly crushed the ring without hesitation.
"Wait, wait, kid, I was just testing you-"
Boom!
The sword disappeared right as it was about to touch Aur, turning into dust driven by the wind.
"You… you…" Hanma looked at Aur with wide eyes.
"The world belongs to the decision. Whether you wanted to trick me or actually wanted to trick me doesn't matter to me. Since you dared to attack me, you must face the consequences of it as well." Aur said with an amused expression.
The blue hollow figure of Hanma flickered as if it was in an unstable position.
"Kid, no matter what you do today, I will take you down with me." He said coldly with an emotionless tone that sent a chill down Aur's spine as an eerie darkness clouded his vision.
"This darkness is…." Aur looked at the darkness that clouded his vision as the entire world turned blue for him.
Before he could form words, his blood started to become unusually active before it was attracted by a certain force.
"Hmm?" Aur frowned as he hurriedly controlled his body as suppressing the blood flow simultaneously.
"Kid, can you suppress my spell so easily?" A surprised tone resounded in Aur's ears.
"Yeah, I can." Aur replied with a chuckle as he closed his eyes.
"What is this kid trying to do?" Hanma frowned as he kept his distance away from Aur.
"Damn it, if not for this the ring was broken, I would have crushed this kid like a bug already." He cursed.
Now his strength was barely a tier one, and his spells have been vastly broken. He only had a few spells left now: one of the light magic which he used to blind Aur and the other his main vital blood spell. Others were even more minor spells.
The ring was actually his power, and it also contained his mental space, now broken and crushed to bits by Aur. All the power he had saved up for centuries was gone in the blink of an eye.
Hanma felt just one emotion right now: RAGE!
A deep rage filled with injustice for himself. He didn't even know the kid, but he dared to destroy his treasure for no reason at all. Even an old foggy like him would sheathe with rage if an unknown kid dared to break his century old plan, crumbling before his very eyes.
Although Hanma did attack Aur, in actuality, he didn't use his full strength to test him.
"But these kids…" Hanma looked at the bulky youth with white hair in sheathing rage.
"You are dead."
He used every ounce of his strength to use his blood spell that he had with full power.
Boom!
As expected this time, Aur couldn't suppress his spell so easily like the last time and fell to the ground.
But to Hanma's puzzlement, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't draw blood from his body at all.
"Hmph, he must have a strong physique…" he narrowed his eyes.
Before he opened his mouth slowly, a ball of fire appeared in mid-air between his jaws, but he didn't release it immediately, letting it accumulate, becoming bigger and bigger.
If Aur could see this, he would undoubtedly be terrified seeing the terrifying mass destruction spell that was akin to an apocalypse being used against him.
However, to Aur's luck, the ball of fire has barely become football-sized even after accumulating for a long time.
With a frown on his face, Hanma released the ball of flame.
Whosh!
The air distorted from the sheer intensity of the fireball as it directly scorched Aur's chest, sending him hurtling to the wall creating a booming sound.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The sound of burnt meat permeated the entire room.
As a large area around Aur's chest was entirely scorched.
Hanma nodded his head seeing this "hmph a green-haired brat dared to fight against me." A sneer replaced his face.
"Have you had your fun yet?"
"Huh." Hanma looked at the body of Aur with disbelief in his face.
"You caught me off-guard. However, that doesn't mean I can go down so easily." Aur stood up from the ground like a zombie nonchalantly raising his head at Hanma.
"Something is wrong with this kid." Hanma muttered, his blue hollow flickering and dimmer and dimmer.
"If this goes on, I might really die here, the great me who was so close to reaching tier four mage, is going to die here? In this unknown village just because I was sneak attacked?"
"Unacceptable." Hanma roared as his expression became ruthless, releasing all his spells at Aur.
"Huh where did he go?"
Swish!
Aur made the wind tear as he full power striked the man, his bracers lay on the floor making a deep dent in it.
Hanma swiftly invaded the punch efficiently and counterattacked with a small fireball that materialised in front of his hand.
Aur stepped back by two steps although it didn't cause him much damage.
Suddenly he raised his hand up in the air and the sword that was tied to his waist rose up with it. His crimson eyes reflected a strange pattern.
"Tier one: Wizard Hand."
He extended the hand forward, and the sword travelled towards Hanma with an unerring accuracy and speed, tearing through the air itself like a mere piece of paper.
Hanma also silently released a small fireball again in the same direction as the sword.
"You are too naive, kid if you think you can-,"
Just as the sword and the fireball were going to connect, Aur's hand flashed with a blue light, and the sword trajectory changed slightly, narrowly avoiding the fireball and going straight for the temple of Hanma.
Bang!
The sword penetrated the skull of Hanma and came out from the other side, crushing into the wall leaving a gaping head of his.
The fireball also hit Aur, however, he was just pushed back two steps again completely fine without any damage.
"You bastard-" Hanma said in a horse voice, his eyes sheathing with rage.
The flickering blue hollow body of Hanma fell to the ground with a gaping hole in the head which revealed brain matter in a gruesome sight.
Aur looked at the old man with narrowed eyes. always-on-NovelFire
"Stop pretending, Hanma. I know you are alive."
"Oh." The amused tone of his filled the room as his brain healed in the matter of split standing up in the matter of seconds.
"You-""
A giant fist filled his vision as Hanma was sent hurtling to the wall crashing into it.
