Chapter 294 Adam Vs. Ambrose
"This place is too cramped!" Adam crouched and sprang up into the air, crashing through the ceiling and appearing above Haventown, hovering in the air like a descending deity.
As he saw Adam jump away, Ambrose looked at his legs and wondered whether he would be able to float in the air just like Adam with his Formlessness.
'Time to try!' Ambrose grinned, crouched and jumped high in the air.
He jumped with greater speed than Adam and soon appeared high in the air, seeing the passing clouds and the setting sun that cast a pleasant orange glow over the ocean.
He felt the pleasant wind breeze on his face and his hair.
This was the best feeling in the whole world.
He felt like he was truly free.
At that moment, Adam flew towards him like a homing missile and swung his katana wide, slashing through the air.
Ambrose spun around and blocked the katana with his two swords, but his block was immediately overwhelmed, and he was sent flying through the air.
However, after a while, he stopped his flight and looked at his feet, which felt like he was standing on solid ground.
'It feels like I can walk in the sky just like I would do in the ground—Formlessness is truly amazing.'
"You are indeed Reinhardt's disciple!" Adam shouted from far away and then flew straight to Ambrose. "No, I shouldn't call your as his disciple anymore. Even though I am big fan of his, I must admit that even he couldn't use Formlessness in second gate!
"You might've surpassed him in talent!"
Adam shouted and swung his katana wide, but Ambrose effortlessly flew below the blade and appeared above Adam, standing upside down with a smile on his face.
Adam raised his head and saw Ambrose standing upside down as if he couldn't care less about silly things like gravity.
Adam couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at Ambrose's incredible abilities.
"Formlessness is truly fascinating!"
Adam exclaimed in amazement.
"What is your bounty?" Ambrose asked and turned around, again standing normally, and then leaned on the side, as if he were leaning against an invisible wall.
"Why do you want to know?" Adam asked with a smirk.
"A some time ago, I couldn't even think about fighting against people with higher than 100,000 silver bounty.
"Now, I want to find out my limit!"
"Just saying, bounties doesn't necessarily point at person's strength." Adam said.
"Yes, but it can tell estimation!" Ambrose shouted.
"True that." Adam laughed. "2,500,750 silvers!"
"All right..." Ambrose lifted his swords and shouted. "I am going all out. Watch out!"
"Heh, good." Adam grinned.
"Raaah!" Ambrose screamed loudly, his muscles bulging like they were about to explode. "Slash of the Six Worlds!"
Swoosh!
Adam raised his katana, and as the two black blades struck his katana, a loud metal clashing sound reverberated across Haventown, causing most townfolk to look towards the sky, where they saw two people fighting like gods.
After the initial clash was over, Ambrose groaned loudly as he tried to push Adam's katana away, but to no avail.
"Your strength lacks." Adam said with a small smile. "You might have Formlessness, but your basic stats lack a lot compared to me."
"Yeah..." Ambrose flew backwards and crossed his sword-wielding arms in front of his body.
"Let's see... Control and release the inner power..."
At that moment, his black blades glowed with a brilliant golden light.
"Haha, you learned that quick." Adam grinned and put his katana in front of his body. "Come on!"
Ambrose swung the swords around his body and then slashed them across the air in front of his body. He wasn't anywhere near Adam, there was distance about hundred meters between them.
However, that didn't matter.
Two air slashes, glowing with brilliant golden light, shot through the air and struck Adam's katana with incredible power.
Ambrose looked at his swords and he couldn't believe he just did that.
He remembered the God's Paladin, Mikael and Yughragh doing that in the Lowceiling. Back then, it looked like two gods fighting, but now he was also able to do those range attacks!
Adam smashed through the golden slash and chuckled. "I can do that as well."
He moved the sword over his shoulder until the blade was behind his back. Then he swung his arm like a whip, and the katana sliced through the air with a loud whoosh, sending a white-colored slash across the air.
Ambrose's eyes widened in a shock and he quickly put his swords in front of his body, but when the white slash struck his blades, he was unable to stop it and the slash started to push him through the air for several hundred meters.
However, after five hundred meters, Ambrose used his Formlessness and moved out of the way with nimble movements.
"Whoo...." Ambrose took a deep breath and his hands were shaking a lot. 'I lack strength, funnily enough. It's rarely strength I lack in my fights.'
"You lost concentration." A sudden voice came behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Adam.
"Ho—"
Before he could ask how he got there, Adam grabbed him by the head and started flying down to the ground. They soon smashed into the ground near the ocean, slightly outside Haventown.
After the dust cloud cleared, Adam was standing beside Ambrose, who was breathing heavily with his swords lying on the ground beside him.
He looked like he couldn't move anymore.
"It seems that my stamina is also much better." Adam chuckled and sat down, looking at the calm waves that splashed at the ship's docked in the pier.
"Ah, man..." Ambrose stood up and tossed his swords into his inventory. He then looked at the ocean and scratched the back of his head.
"I thought I would be able to put up a better fight."
"You are already strong." Adam said. "You just lack some basic stats, such as strength and stamina. Your Formlessness does close the gap a lot, but you can't use it forever without good stamina."
Ambrose nodded thoughtfully.
"If it eases your worries, I think you can defeat Arkham and Dreadnought." Adam laughed. "They are also red-ranked pirates, so it ain't too bad.
"Your bounty—111,111 silvers—is nowhere close to your actual strength anymore. I am sure you should be near two million, but you would have to do something that puts you on the radar of the Red Inquisitors."
"Yeah, not sure if I want to have bounty." Ambrose wryly smiled.
"Hah, it's not too bad." Adam scratched his head. "People like you and me, can't stay on the good side of the law. You will always be on the radar of Inquisitors, and they won't leave you alone."
"Yeah..." Ambrose nodded in agreement.
"Now that we are done fighting. Shall we go get some beer?" Adam stood up and stretched his arms. "Today was very fun. I would have died of boredom if I had to fight more of those fodders.
"Thankfully, you sped up things, heh."
"I just wanted to fight." Ambrose chuckled and followed after Adam as they neared Haventown. "My body and instincts were urging me to fight."
