NOVEL NEXT Chapter 101: Testing Buddy
"Please spare me. I have a wife and a kid." Jaw begged Tim shamelessly, but after all the begging. Tim had other plans.
"I will give you a chance. Not to spar with you, but a chance for you to kill me. * Jaw's eyes widened when he heard Tim's proposition. * The task is really simple honestly.
In the next 30 minutes or so. I will not attack you once, but you have to attack me like your life depends on it. If you manage to kill me then so be it. You escape, but if you do not kill me within those 30 minutes.
I will end your life immediately." Tim said, as he placed his sword on his shoulder waiting for an answer.
This was by far the wildest proposal Tim had made to anyone whether it was in his current life or his past life.
He knew that Jaw would accept it. He knew anyone would try to accept it. It was only right that anyone will do anything to protect themselves. It was now a matter of how far would Jaw go to give himself a thicket out of the certain death that had fallen upon him.
The fear that was evident in Jaw's eyes began to fade away after he comprehended the offer that was presented to him. it was his ticket out; he was not going to waste it.
As a mage assassin, he did not have much spells to use. But the spells that he had were effective enough to end the life of his target.
He ruled out any form of close range attack. Even if Tim had told him that he would not attack for 30 minutes, there was no way that he would have believed such bullshit from Tim.
Jaw created distance between him and Tim out of battle instinct and casted his [Wind Bullet Storm]. The spell wasted no time in taking effect, as immediately wind gathered around Jaw and started to shoot at Tim like it was a massive machine gun wasting rounds towards its target.
Tim grinned when he saw the level of attack that was coming his way. It was what he wanted. Since he wanted to test his reflexes, he increased the challenge level by closing one eye.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH
One by one Tim started to cut and weave between the attacks that was sent his way.
Jaw had a deep frown on his face, his strongest spell was so powerless against Tim, that one would have thought that he was casting a no level spell.
"Wind Storm." Jaw chanted loudly, as two mini tornadoes started to swirl around him, and immediately went forward towards Tim.
Tim welcomed the increased level of attack with a wide smile on his face. The tornadoes already made his half vision worse, but it was still not enough to deter Tim's accuracy.
Frustrated by the events, Jaw shot the tornadoes forwards like bullets towards Tim. This sudden switch in tactics slightly caught Tim off guard. POOM
One of the tornadoes slammed into Tim, who wanted to dice the tornado up with nothing but brute force. The force slammed him against a nearby rock, but Tim's endurance was sufficient enough to take a damage of such caliber.
'It seems like aura works as a good counter to mana spells. Note to self, brute will likely not work on speels. It is better you learn aura.' Tim thought, as he quickly rolled out of the way.
POOM!
Immediately he rolled out, another tornado was slammed into his previous location.
In all honesty, Tim was proud of Jaw's achievements with wind. It showed Tim the amount of flexibility spells had.
Jaw stopped casting his wind bullet spell, and positioned himself swiftly. Lining his body in a straight line with Tim's current location." Wind Precision Strike!" Jaw yelled.
The wind listening to Jaw's command gathered around Jaw and formed the shape of a massive missile. Wasting no time, Jaw launched it directly towards Tim. FOO!
Tim's eyes widened this time. Although it weas the first time he was seeing such a spell, it was not the first time of him seeing a missile.
The spell was definitely shaped like a missile, and he honestly did not want to be hit by anything remotely close to a missile.
His carefree expression immediately vanished, as he entered a slanted stance that was burrowed from Idah's skill set.
Idah's aura flowed in him, and he casted Idah's [Sky Wind Piercer].
Pouring all the aura that he could into the attack. Tim sent the deadly aura attack towards the air missile that was launched at him. BOOOM!
A very large explosion rocked the battle area with both Tim and Jaw being blown away by the force of the collision.
Tim was not too affected, as he landed gracefully with a single bead of sweat on his head. Jaw on the other hand was not so lucky, he landed with his head smashing towards a tree.
The crash did not knock him out, but it gave him a wound on the head which was just ironic since it had been Jaw that had been performing the attack while Tim just tested his reflexes and defense.
"I think I failed my test. I should have evaded the attack. It was too fast though, but it is not an excuse." Tim said, he cracked his neck.
Jaw wiped the blood that had dripped over his eyes and cursed "This fucking bastard. Who do you think you are."
He had noticed that his last attack made Tim to stress out a little, and that made him happy. He wanted to repeat the attack, but the thing was that the attack consumed a lot of mana.
The spell had consumed a whopping 35% of his remaining mana. It was a high mana spell, but because of that. It made the spell really powerful.
"Just Who are you. An elf, a royal elf should not involve himself in matter of the common!" Jaw yelled at the top of his lung, as he sent another [Wind Precision Strike]
