BXBX NOVEL Chapter 41 - Surprised
They will be burnt due to my lightning. It\'s best to have bare hands now. As I lifted my left hand and gazed at my palm.
I summon lightning power with my will. As I thought of it my lightning rune in my consciousness started to flicker. My Lightning Totem is also started reacting.
Hereby attracting nearby lightning particles. Violet sparks start to appear one by one in my palm. Soon they cover my entire palm and left fingers. I can hear the little noises that the sparks were making.
In a split second my left hand is covered with Pure Violet Lightning. I did not use both hands for lightning. I hold my white bone in my right hand for the attack. Since I didn\'t have any attack technique. I cannot projectile my lightning power. I shake my head and got over my messy thoughts.
Zack grinned,
"One hand Powered with Lightning and other hand holds the White Bone." As I said to myself, "This is quite an Art". I looked at the black spider. Which is now calm down itself. As for now, it didn\'t care about my presence. Once I attack it then it will retaliate.
As I wondered how to kill it. I thought of a good plan. I need to make it immobilise by attacking its legs. If I cut down its legs one by one. Then it will be easy for me to exit the door. Lightning in my left hand disappeared. As I hold the White Bone with my both hands.
I move cautiously towards the black spider. The Black Spider is now moving around here and there in the danger zone. It never stayed in one place for a moment. Seeing that I quickened my pace. I reached the "X" mark danger zone.
The Black Spider noticed a human is coming towards it. It never cared about the existence of this human so for yet he carrying a weapon to attack it. Sensing that a powerless ant trying to attack it. The Black Spider got furious. The Black Spider move back its body to face Zack. Numerous eyes on its forehead focussing on him.
Two deadly fangs are ready to bite and inject a deadly poison into his body. Since my perception is already on. I can perceive every little moment of Black Spider. It suddenly turned around injected a very fast silk thread at me using its spinnerets(Silk thread producing organs).
Thanks to my perception ability. Due to that, every small detail magnified before me. I saw everything crystal clear. My 7th brain region\'s development somehow influences my vision with that I easily evade that silk thread attack.
I changed my position sideways and I continue with my attack. I didn\'t stay in one place for a moment to make me an easy target. I moved position very often. Soon my White Bone taste on one of its legs yet unable to slash it completely. My sword is sharp and thin. My tip of the sword caused it serious injury.
The black spider suddenly moved backwards. Seeing green colour liquid oozing from its injury. I continue these tactics time and time again. I tried to attack the same spot where I previously attacked it.
Sometimes later, there is a success for me.
Everywhere around me is a silk thread. The platform is filled with spider webs. The Spider is now unable to produce silk webs anymore. It\'s tired and injured. I am lucky enough that I got perception ability. It\'s a damn cheat plus the collar on the monster also preventing it from killing me.
If I got Sword techniques and lightning attack techniques. The scenario will be different. I didn\'t have to move around. I can roast the black spider by standing in one place. I have seen the prices for techniques were sky-high in the Alliance network. I can\'t afford it now.
I am contemplating whether I should kill it or use this opportunity to exit. Whenever I tried to approach it. It smartly uses its deadly venom to spray. Even I had the perception ability It will be too late to escape from the deadly poison. When I am very close to it.
I sighed and decide to escape from the exit door. Instead of killing it. I believed it\'s a wise move. I should control my desire to use lightning.
Once I exited the door. I took back my sword and wore the fingerless gloves back again and came to the discussion hall. I am very dissatisfied with my performance. It would be better if I kill it. But the risks are simply high. As I opened the door came to the discussion hall.
I noticed the surprised faces of Candace and Maria. specially Maria her gaze is different from before. There is no superior gaze in her eyes anymore. I\'m not stupid enough to understand this. But I don\'t care. When the test is over. I should ask my Uncle to let me contact him. He is my future teacher. Surely He will give me at least one or two lower grade techniques.
I took the empty seat in the room. Avoiding their gazes. As I closed my eyes and start to meditate. I was bombarded with questions. "Did you kill it?" asked Maria. "What type of Monster it is?" questioned Candace. looks like they won\'t give me some peace of mind. I cursed in my heart, "Damn it, girls I\'m not here to make some friends. stay away from me".
I lazily opened one eye. I looked at the girls with my left eye and answered, " It is a black spider with a bad odour; I used my sword to attack its legs. Eventually it movement was slowed. I used this opportunity to escape". I finished my words with one breath and closed my eyes.
They want to ask further but stopped talking. Seeing me closed my eyes and they also felt I\'m not interested in talking to them. "What an annoying guy". sounded Maria disapprovingly.
But she was shocked in her heart. Slightly some hours before She laughed at Candace arguing that coincidence happens once but not very often.
But the result has given a huge slap on her face. She was embarrassed to see Candace\'s face right now. She slightly focuses her gaze towards Candace. Candace began to meditate her eyes were closed. But there is a smile on her face. Candace was mature than Maria. She knew how she would react. Once she saw Zack. So, She did not want to embarrass her.
If one would see Maria\'s face. There is a red glow on both sides of her cheeks. But in her heart respect for Candace has risen.
Meanwhile, in the control room.
"Another hidden Apprentice Warrior". mumbled Ms Adeline Key. Her brain cells were upside down. Today is such a crazy day and Eye-opener. They are my students but I failed to access them. Especially Zack and Candace. She sighed.
On the other hand. Mr Arthur Emerson expected Zack to kill the Monster. But was surprised to see Zack didn\'t kill it. He chose the same way as his classmates. "Give me the details of the Monster that Zack faced". He asked staff.
Hearing that "Are you going to put in the same list as Candace?" asked Ms Adeline Key.
He replied, "Yes". But he lied actually. Every wall has ears. He promised James that he won\'t publicise the details about Zack. And he would keep eye on him. So he didn\'t want to disclose to any of his colleagues.
The Administration only had basic information about Zack. Such as residential address, family, age like that.
Next participant. Enter the dome.
Marcus Moore finally arrived at the platform.
He thought rest would be like a battle bot but due to his disappointment. A cage rose from the "X" Mark. A Sharp-tooth Crocodile came out of the cage. It\'s a water and land-based Class 1 Monster. It was medium in size. But there are series of spikes on its vertebrate.
Its Jaw alone is enough to crush the soul of its prey. Seeing the Sharp tooth Monster. Marcus got scared. His whole body starts to vibrate. The only noise heard on the platform is his shaking teeth. He thought his classmates faced artificial bots in the battle. So that is why none of the three got failed. He was so sure of it. Who would have thought there would be fucking monster here?
His father wanted him to visit the implant centre earlier. To awaken his element but he delayed it sighting different reasons. looks like I have to visit the implant centre next week.
While Crazy thoughts were running in his mind. The Sawtooth crocodile seeing standing prey it quickly came towards him. It already sensed its prey is quite scared and not moving from his place.
Seeing the fucking monster running towards him. Marcus Moore fainted on the spot. But bad luck for him.. He didn\'t witness the monster wailed in pain due to leaving the "X" mark danger zone.
