Chapter 175 Using his skills
I shouldn\'t worry about the people above since that mage is with us.
So I should pin my focus on him.
I felt my hands and arms numb since my previous attack was nullified but either way, it wasn\'t that bad since I could finally see some cracks. If I can get through his defense then that will end the fight.
A red burst of killing intent attacked me while the impact of my bullet finally disappeared from my opponent\'s body.
"Alright let\'s fall back"
As I observed the brewing storm I decided to take some distance from him. Then the war hammer in my hand disappeared and was replaced by a sword.
[The killing intent is too intense Creator it\'s turning the entire area into a red zone, and your senses will be affected]
"Then make sure I won\'t"
[I will]
My eyes flared up since the system had been helping me with the calculation I needed for predicting my opponent\'s movements, at the same time reading his energy flow.
As soon as I get the reading I move my body in sync with his. I immediately dodged to my right leaving him to attack an empty space, then I took the chance to attack his blind spot however his aura responded well transforming into a warrior.
[We need something stronger, something that can penetrate an aura]
"But I can\'t do auras and vibrating ki is not working anymore"
Aura can only be destroyed by an aura or something even more powerful but it is more efficient to use auras instead.
Wait come to think of it I haven\'t done that, perhaps I can penetrate his defence using that.
The circulation of my ki suddenly changes as I make a quick distance between the two of us. As I did so I subtle ambience began to swallow me making my enemy confused.

"What is it this time" Seeing his opponent changing into another style of fighting, the seasoned warrior felt confused as he said those words. Every time he thought he already knew the pattern of his enemy\'s fighting style it would change into something different. This somewhat tires him out until he completely relies on his instincts in fighting.
Deep inside his body has been feeling worn out since he has been swinging his sword for how many times now. To add up his arms have been shaking since each of Apollo\'s strikes has a force of impact that reverberated through his arms. It left him numb at some point and only his will is keeping him from collapsing.
He must finish the fight so he moved again despite the ache he felt when the bullet shot him.
He held his blade tightly and charged it with overwhelming energy, his will had been unbreaking and his massive killing intent fueled his sword.
"Since you are keeping your distance let my blade reach you" he then advances with a powerful, overhead swing aimed at Apollo\'s head. The sword slash expanded into a wave of bright light aiming fast at the silhouette of the little boy. However, as soon as it touches its target the figure of the boy transforms into a mist disappearing in the dimly lit drain.
"Tsk!"
The seasoned warrior spread his senses trying to locate the location of his enemy however he could not.
"Why do I feel like fighting against an assassin" he thought as he remembered encountering them before. However they weren\'t this good, he couldn\'t even sense the boy\'s breath in the surroundings.
"Where is he"
He said while strengthening his defence. His aura armament glows even brighter while it\'s its intense atmosphere escalates.
As he remained focused his instincts suddenly warned him to dodge, he immediately responded and moved to the side but something caught him in place.
"What the!"
The ground had swallowed his feet without him even knowing, but it wasn\'t his main concern his eyes finally saw his target the boy had appeared, in his hand was a pistol which he shot without hesitation. The sound of the gunshot rang, the bullets were fast but the warrior was able to catch it.
"Heh" a smirk came across the boy\'s face making his opponent conflicted however he soon found the reason behind that smile.
A sudden accumulation of electricity transpired from the bullet inside the palms of the warrior, then it began to spin creating a massive movement. Soon the bullet turns into a white projectile drilling through the hand of the aura warrior. The wind suddenly howled wildly while the ground bore the pressure of the bullet.
"See I told you I will use all my skills" the boy suddenly said as the pistol in his hand clicked. This made his opponent attack using his sword slashes.
The boy in the hood remained calm and pulled the trigger and another thunder bullet escaped from its muzzle.
"BANG!"
The bullet overpowered the sword slash diving fast at the person who released it.
"CRACK!"
A cracking noise began to be heard and the boy knew exactly where it came from. Stay updated via empire
Then another bang was heard when the seasoned warrior sliced the thunder bullet that almost poked a hole in his face.
However, the battle is not over the boy\'s hand begins to shine revealing a mithril staff.
"Hoo" You can hear him breathe while his body begins to be fueled with electricity.
[Creator I have been using your energy bank to resupply your ki and mana, this is the third time you are using them please be careful]
"Yeah just recharge it"
[I will]
The staff began to radiate with electricity and the moment the aura warrior finally collapsed, a flash of white light came. Thunder aura gave a total boost in speed and power that left his opponent clad in aura armament.
"BANG!"
The sword and staff clash, and to the warrior\'s dismay, he can finally feel his body weakening.
"This boy exhausts me first to the point that my arms are already numb before taking out his trump card" he thought.
The boy powered himself with lightning as he deflected an equal blow from his enemy. Then the staff is now a sword.
Apollo executes a deft parry, bringing their sword up at a precise angle to meet his blade. The impact is sharp, and the force of the enemy strike is redirected to the side.
Then the boy uses the momentum of the deflection to his advantage. As the enemy sword is pushed off course, the boy steps inside the range of his enemy\'s extended arm. The blade is deflected with a controlled movement, creating an opening.
Capitalizing on the opening created by the deflection. With the enemy sword now off balance and Apollo in close proximity, the boy lunges forward with a swift, controlled thrust and penetrates his enemy\'s defences.
"Argh!"
A painful cry can be heard as Apollo\'s thrust is directed at his opponent\'s torso, aiming for a gap in the armour. The blade moves in a straight line, powered by the strength of the boy\'s legs and core. Lightning was poured in and the prime energy supplied every part of his body finally stabbing his opponent.
The seasoned warrior hunched his body in pain while the boy suddenly let the massive electricity in his body penetrate his enemy. From his limbs to the tips of his already penetrated blade, the mass of electricity travels.
The ground shook with his force until a figure fell on the floor.
"Haaa...." a slow phase of breathing can be heard as the boy sits on the floor, his hand bleeding from tightly gripping his sword.
"I won"
He added while looking at his hand.
[I will heal you now]
"Okay"
"Jeremiah"
[Yes]
"Did I do great?"
[Of course, you did great, you did excessively great for fighting an opponent who had more experience and skills than you. You didn\'t even use any of your stat points even though you could have overpowered him using it. You rely on your analytical skills and the abilities you already have to win this fight]
Hearing those words made the boy smile, he felt like all his cuts and bruises disappeared.
"After this, we should look for more of them"
[Let\'s use the power of the Death stone! We haven\'t tested it!]
"Alright prepare it for me"
[I will]
As the boy rested his weak body, he never realized that he had never even known who was his opponent and even the fact he never let his appearance be known. He immediately engaged in a fight that he had forgotten to introduce himself.
"Do I even need to know every person I need to kill?" the boy thought as he finally realized his hood remained covered in his face.
