Chapter 143: Having Fun on the Battle
Nathan was flabbergasted. The Dragon Fist actually used more Ena than he originally thought, launching the bandit leader much farther.
'A command type? It's the third type that is known for their ability to command the familiars, right? I don't know much about the details, but commanding the familiar is something I can do as well. So this type of ability must be quite special only for this path. I don't understand the principle right now, but it doesn't matter. With this Ena, I might be able to take down the bandit leader.'
Nathan could simply learn the command type summoner from her or his teacher. Of course, it would be after he defeated the bandit leader.
Without hesitation, Nathan pointed his finger at the enemy and fired a bullet. To his surprise, the Ena from Sera amplified the bullet's power five times.
It flew straight to the bandit leader. The latter managed to block it with his axe, but the power pushed him back.
'What is this power? How could it be so strong? A bit of the power is coming into my body, but the rest is actually hovering around me. Is the power that enters my body actually acting as a bridge to fuse my and her Ena?
'This is so sick. How much Ena does she actually have? No, wait. Is it alright for the trial to have this kind of overpowered support?'
Nathan looked excited because this was the first time he wielded this much power. And he realized it wasn't just about the amount of Ena. If that was the issue, the bullet he shot when he had a lot of Ena wouldn't remain small.
In other words, his small bullets were because either his control was lacking or his understanding of how Ena worked was not enough.
Nevertheless, there was only one thought in his mind.
"This is a man's dream. Laser gun!" Nathan pointed both his hands as he shot another round.
"Kh!" The enemy blocked it again with his giant axe, but he had to get away and somehow close the distance between them or he would lose sooner or later. He shifted his target from Nathan to Serafina because it was clear she was the one making this battle difficult.
The leader had no other choice but to utilize Nathan's trick against him. He jumped into a building next to him, disappearing from their sights.
"!!!" Nathan instantly understood what he was planning to do. "Sera. Go behind me and maintain that distance."
Sera nodded and positioned herself five meters (16 feet) behind him.
Nathan immediately shot the buildings without caring about his Ena.
However, the bandit leader utilized the building skillfully to avoid Nathan's laser beam.
When he came a bit closer, Nathan pointed both palms at the building and formed the explosive bullet. As he predicted, the explosive bullet became much more powerful.
Its explosion blasted two buildings simultaneously and blew away the enemy leader.
Of course, Nathan was no exception. He was launched in Sera's direction, forcing Sera to catch him.
"Sorry!" Nathan would have been happy with such a cushion normally, but that wasn't what he had on his mind right now. He simply pointed his gun up and fired. "Mortar Imitation!"
The bullet flew into the air before curving back down, hitting a house that the bandit leader used to hide again.
However, the bullet didn't explode, causing Nathan to complain. "That's right. I haven't mastered the explosive bullet. Tsk."
He never regretted as much as today for having not mastered the explosive bullet. If he had mastered it, he might be able to use it as a grenade, a mortal, or whatever explosive was in his mind.
Still, it didn't matter that much. Nathan used the fact that the building covered the leader's vision to come closer and punched the house with the Dragon Fist.
As he expected, the Dragon Fist produced so much force that it literally swept away the entire building.
"You bastard." The enemy's leader managed to maintain his position, but it didn't matter. Nathan had already switched to his gun again and shot the bandit.
His opponent had seen this attack so much that he avoided it much better than the previous attempts. He then closed the gap between them and swung his axe. "Just die already!"
"It seems I have too much fun with this." Nathan never thought it would be so much fun having this much power. He could experiment a bit more after killing the bandit leader.
When the bandit leader came at him, Nathan formed a shield in front of him. The shield was thicker than what he used normally.
The barrier stopped the giant axe for a second before it cracked. Nathan hurriedly jumped back as the bandit shattered the barrier and slammed the axe on the ground.
The burst of Ena kicked up the dust, creating a smoke screen.
Nathan didn't know where the bandit leader was, so he used the Deadly Claw and swept in from both sides. He could feel that the Deadly Claw was actually much more robust and longer, allowing him to reach from one edge to another.
The bandit leader smashed the Deadly Claw with his axe, but it simply gave away his location.
Nathan immediately shot the bandit leader, pushing him out of the smoke screen. At the same time, he used the explosive bullet to create a powerful shock wave that dispersed the smoke screen.
Their battle, which had been in stalemate this whole time, was soon broken by Nidhogg, showing off all that 2,500 Ena he got from Nathan.
*Bam!*
A dragon cry echoed across the entire stronghold as the giant suddenly fell to the ground, crushing several buildings underneath it and causing the ground to tremble violently.
"!!!" Nathan and the bandit leader turned their heads to the side, seeing the giant's condition.
The club had been shattered, and the giant's skin was covered in scorched marks.
"What?!" The bandit leader's face turned pale. The giant was supposed to be his strongest familiar due to that size, yet Nidhogg actually took it down in such a short amount of time.
Nathan grinned. "I guess I really need to get serious and end this quickly."
