Chapter 91: Rare Healing Talent!
A massive power akin to a chaotic storm broke forth from Khal’s fan, making Marx cross his thick arms before his face and resist the power with clenched teeth.
*Crack!*
Deep and wide cracks formed around his feet and it only got deeper and wider as Marx’s colossal body was getting pushed back inch by inch by the wind pressure that Khal created with his assault.
“The… Fuck is this?” groaned Marx between his tightly clenched teeth as he struggled to keep his balance still even with his humongous body and try not to get flung away!
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
But naturally, Khal was not blind and noticed that Marx was struggling; as a result, the smile on his face that was still there became even wider and tightened his grip around his fan.
“I only used 35% of my current Body Essence and even that small amount showed amazing results! So what will happen if I attack him once again while he still tries his best?”
Immediately as he reached that point of thought, Khal’s eyes flashed with a profound light and his fan once again lit up with a deep silver light.
“Let’s find it out!”
“!?”
As Marx still defended against the previous assault that caused his bulging arms to be filled with shallow wounds because of the sharp wind blades, he watched as Khal swung his weapon once again, making his eyes open extra wide in an instant!
“Fuc-“
*BOOOM!!*
*BAM!*
“Marx!” Merlyn on the side seeing as her brother was blown away like that, crashing into the arena wall in the distance almost like a cannonball, turned furious instantly and stared at Khal with a sharp glare, “You!”
*Swish!*
Khal who was still watching as Marx’s colossal body was still lying in the debris with his huge axe deeply rooted into the wall, suddenly noticed as a shadow appeared on his side with a green flash and attacked his shoulder.
“What are those? Green nails?” wondered Khal with awe as he inspected the five fingers covered in a mysterious green shade aiming at his arm, but because the speed was just too fast for him to think about more he instead moved.
Activating his Secret Art’s Second Form, the Azure Snake Dance, Khal pushed his feet forward and like a ghost vanished then reappeared but this time behind Merlyn.
“Fast!” was the only thing Merlyn could think of before a sharp pain pierced into her abdomen and was kicked to the side like a football.
*BAM!*
Forming small cracks below her body after the impact, Merlyn attempted to stand up and continue her assault but realized she couldn’t; she has been kicked so hard that the bone in her waist was cracked a bit in several places!
But it was no surprise; the very moment Khal used his Second form to get behind Merlyn, he directly changed to his First Form, and with help of his accelerated Essence around his feet that made him gain great amount if momentum, he kicked Merlyn away. Without that, let alone a simple kick, he wouldn’t have been able to cause harm to Merlyn, so that’s why he used this method instead.
‘…’
Everyone was silent and no one dared to utter a single word; right now, before hundreds of Cultivators, Khal, who was still on the Second Stage, beat two Fourth Stage Cultivators! Only in 4 moves on top of that!
“He… really did it. Not only did he best several others on or a Stage above him, but he even beat 2 Fourth Stage Cultivators!”
“This is madness! Someone fast! Hit me now! I can’t believe tha-, Auch! Hey! Why the hell did you hit me?”
“Well, you were the one who asked for it so…”
“Argh! Hey!!”
People in the spectator seats started to speak among themselves, turning the silent arena into a place filled with chaotic shouts.
But right before everything could have reached an end…
“Heal.”
Immediately as that single word that sounded soft yet at the same time loud fell onto the platform, emerald green light enveloped Marx’s and Merlyn’s body on the ground.
*Rumble!!*
“Argh… You could have done this sooner.” Marx who lied in the debris motionlessly all this time suddenly stood up like nothing happened at all and tore his weapon right out from the wall.
“He is right. I can’t believe you let your Big Sis get kicked so mercilessly. Tsk, it seems I need to punish you later when we finish here.” talked Merlyn abruptly too as she stood up slowly, dusting her clothes off with gentle pats.
Both of them looked perfectly fine! The wounds on Marx’s arm vanished, while Merlyn’s waist seemed to be fully healed too! Under a split second!
“Just what happened here?” thought Khal with alarm as he watched the two stand up like that and tilted his gaze to the side.
Not far away from him on the side, the guy with the indifferent expression but handsome face, Asur, looked right at him with a tranquil pair of eyes, while a crystal clear orb was gently floating right above his palm.
The orb was small, almost as big as a human fist. It was like a crystal, as clear as the clearest water one could imagine while inside its very middle, a gentle, emerald green light was swirling ever slowly.
“A Healer-type Talent that is efficient on long-range? And on top of that can be used on several targets?” asked Nate with awe, didn’t expect that this guy would have such a powerful Talent.
Healer-type Talents were not rare and there were loads of them in this world. But a Talent that was able to heal from long distances and even be used on several targets was extremely rare!
While normal Healing-type Talents only worked on one target and only got activated by physical contact, until these kinds of Talents were referred to as a cheat! Yes, a cheat! Just imagine yourself in a war where you injured half of your enemy’s men, but suddenly because such a Cultivator appears, everything turns to the worst; while they will attack you with refreshed energy and without wounds, you will be struggling to keep yourself alive!
This kind of Talent was simply a cheat code in large-scale battles! Those with such Talent all became legendary and well-known figures amongst humanity without a single exception!
“Now like this… I don’t think Khal will stand a chance,” said Nate calmly, but the mixture of worry and surprise couldn’t be hidden from his face and eyes.
When he told Liza Khal will win because he didn’t show his true power yet, he meant exactly what Khal did when blowing Marx and kicking Merlyn away. However, never in his wildest dream would he think that the guy who looked so indifferent that it was almost like he was bored of life itself, had such a powerful Talent. Against a team that he was a part of was simply impossible to win; or at least not until he was standing.
But while Marx and Merlyn were standing, it was hard to imagine that Khal could touch even a strand of hair of Asur!
“Haha, now not so cocky are you?” laughed Marx wildly, as he walked closer to Khal, leaving deep pits on the ground where he stepped!
“You know, I was surprised by your movement speed and your kick. But now that what to expect, I won’t make the same mistake twice.” chuckled Merlyn too as she raised her fingers, revealing 5 extra-large nails enveloped by a mysterious green shade.
“Just let’s end this already… I am bored…” talked Asur from the side with a still indifferent tone as he made the orb above his palm vanish.
Khal who was now trapped in the middle of a triangle formation looked at all the three around him and furrowed his brows, “Now what? If I try to approach their healer I will be immediately stopped either by Marx’s axe or by those nails which I still don’t know what they can do. I can also choose to attack either one of them, but then if I do, I will be ambushed immediately by the other one. Even if I succeed on to knock them out, they will still get healed instantly because of their friend’s help. Argh… So much trouble…”
“Haha, that’s right. Realize you have no chance. Just admit defeat trash!” Alde who sat on the seats all this time with a darkened complexion now looked incredibly delighted.
When he saw as Khal knocked Marx and Merlyn out with 4 simple moves he almost went and strangled his friend on his side to death, but after seeing Asur had such a powerful Talent he abruptly became happy!
“Maybe I should recruit him into my family. With his Talent, he will definitely be a great asset to us. Yeah, I will definitely mention him to my father.” pondered Alde with a slight nod as he decided on his choice, but it was then as Khal stood straight up and closed his eyes gently.
“Huh? Did he give up?” was what almost everyone thought, including Logan and Jane, but the next sight shocked them all.
“Sigh… it is really a pain in the ass but there is no option left for me.” sighed Khal and instantly, his whole body started to undergo fast and visible changes.
