Chapter 695. Mana Manipulation On Game Skill

Domon was also stunned by the sudden disarm of his weapon. He was certain that his grip was solid. His shock only lasted a moment before his mind went into his storage bag to search for a substitute weapon, but that one moment was all it needed for his opponent to attack.

"Sorry, master Domon, the winner will be me," Spring Crown uttered as his spirit weapon transformed into a giant energy spear above him. It then stabbed towards Domon.

Spring Crown had lured Domon to the edge before using his Disarm skill. With Domon's back against the transparent arena wall, there was nowhere for the old grandmaster to dodge. Seeing the incoming giant energy spear, Domon placed his two palms to his front facing the energy spear.

Everyone was flabbergasted. Was the old weapon master scared out of his mind that he put his arm up like that to defend against the attack? It won't be of any use as he needed a weapon to count the block as a parry. A weapon master was powerless without their weapons.

Any other person would have run out of ideas at this stage, but not Domon. He was a master of any fighting styles, including unarmed. His two palms started shining as the air around those palms started to revolve. It was as if he was holding a circular flat disk made of air in front of him that spun at high speed.

Everyone was shocked by the display, including all the martial art masters in the spectators' seats.

"That's…!" Wong was visibly unsettled seeing the move that Domon used.

"What is that?" Arthur asked.

"No way… He has finally mastered it?" Jet uttered.

"What move is that?" Paytowin asked Jack.

"No idea. Have never seen gramps use that before," Jack answered.

Spring Crown was similarly surprised by his opponent's move, but it didn't hinder the advance of his giant energy spear. The energy spear crashed into Domon's spinning disk with a loud bang. Bright light flared from the collision as the wind from the impact threw Spring Crown away. He fell to the ground several meters away.

The bright light slowly settled, leaving dust in the air. Everyone could see the arena again. Spring Crown was getting up from the ground but he suddenly put his spear to his front. Soft light covered the spear just as a wave of energy rushed out of the dust towards him. His spear shone brightly after.

"Absorb energy?" Jack said after seeing it. It's the skill Spring Crown had used to defeat Handsome Joe in the previous match.

Domon rushed out from the receding dust. His HP bar indicated that he only had twenty percent of his life left.

Spring Crown was astonished. That energy spear skill he used was a rare skill that dealt very high damage. It should have been able to kill a normal Weapon Master three times over with one hit. What move did Domon use just now to reduce its damage? Was it a game skill? It was too spectacular to be a martial art.

Despite his curiosity, Spring Crown couldn't afford to let his mind wander. The fight was still ongoing. Domon had come at him in a straight path. The old martial artist only had a little life left. One hit with his enhanced spear was all he needed.

<br/>Spring Crown used Ki Strike. The blast this skill created covered a fan-shaped area before him. A small dodge won't be enough to evade the blast and Domon was too close to do a big jump already.

However, Domon didn't show any attempt of dodging. He lifted his weapon, which was a halberd now. His Ki Weapon was still active and the light that covered it was especially long and fiery.

Spring Crown noticed that was not a normal Ki Weapon effect. However, it was too late to cancel his attack already. He bet everything with this strike. His spear was already enhanced by his opponent's ki wave, so his damage should be higher. If both of them strike, his attack would be superior.

Domon also executed Ki Strike. Two blasts of energy hit one another.

The blast unleashed from Spring Crown's spear was larger than a normal Ki Strike. This was due to the enhancement from the Absorb Energy skill. Yet, the blast from Domon's Ki Strike was even larger. Spring Crown was shocked. It didn't make sense. Not only was Domon's Ki Blast larger, but it was also denser and of a different color. Normal Ki Strike produced a light blue energy blast, while Domon's current one was darker blue and close to purple.

Domon's Ki Strike completely devoured Spring Crown's and it proceeded to engulf the younger weapon master.

When the dust settled, Spring Crown's body was lying on the floor with zero HP.

"YES!" Jack jumped up from his seat and exclaimed after seeing the result. "That was tense! I thought for a second that old man will lose when he dropped his glaive."

Paytowin gave Jack a side-eye. Who was it that said no way his gramps would lose?

The rest of the human team also clapped and cheered. Prince Alonzo's face was beaming with satisfaction. He had one champion already from his team. Prince Rhemos was clapping and smiling as well, but his smile was very stiff and fake.

"What is that skill Spring Crown used that create the giant energy spear?" Jack asked Peniel while still clapping.

"That skill is Energy Weapon," Peniel answered. "A non-standard Weapon Master's skill. It can only be used when the Spirit Weapon is still active. It sacrifices the spirit weapon and turns it into a massive attack that deals very high damage. Under normal circumstances, your grandfather should have lost already. What did he do to block that skill?"

"Ain't George already asked me that? I don't know. We will ask my gramps once he returned," Jack said.

Spring Crown was revived to full health while Domon went and picked up his glaive. When everyone expected Spring Crown to be scowling, he strangely still wore that light smile of him. As if nothing bad had happened.

"Ah… What a pity," he said.

"You don't seem too bothered with this loss," Domon said.

"What do you mean? This is my face when I am bothered."

"It's the same as before."

"Is it? Ahaha, probably it has become too stiff that I can't change the expression."

"You are weird. Aren't you three here to get an item for that Master of yours?"

"We are, but everyone should have seen that I've tried my best, right? So, no one can blame me even if I fail."

"Why do you help that Master? You don't seem like a bad person," Domon asked.

"Thank you!" Spring Crown replied with a laugh. "But if I tell you, I'm afraid you will laugh at me."

"Try me. I can use a little laugh."

"Well, he came to me and told me that he could turn the world into a real game world. He offered me a place in his kingdom if I help him become a God in this world. I laughed at him, thinking everything is a joke. I said to him if he really can do that, I won't mind helping him. Imagine my surprise when the world truly turned."

"Just because of that?"

"I gave him my word, didn't I? What is a man if not his words? Are you going to laugh now?"

"No. No, I won't," Domon said. "But are you going to just shut your eyes and let him enslave this world?"

"My promise is to help him become a God. I didn't say anything about after. Once he becomes one, then I will bring him down."

"If he becomes one. Do you think you still have a chance?"

"Even though if he became a God, it is a God based on this game system, not a real one. One thing I love about games is that you can always find a way to win, even against cheaters as long as you are determined enough. Taking down a fake God, now isn't that an exciting challenge for a number one gamer?"

"Hahaha. I thought you didn't like that title?" Domon laughed.

"If it gets me paired with a number one martial artist like you, I don't mind. Hey, how about we take him down together when he becomes a God?" Spring Crown said.

"No, thanks. I will take him down before he becomes one, together with my grandson."

"That multi-class boy? Good luck. I'm looking forward to fighting him too."

"You will get the chance as long as you are still supporting that Master."

The spectators were amazed to see the two chatted like old friends after that fierce fight. Even Pallas didn't disturb them and let them chat in the arena.

When the two parted ways, Pallas said to Domon who walked by him, "That was an impressive application of mana manipulation. You have my respect." Callan also stood up and nodded at Domon as a sign of respect.

Domon replied by making a palm-fist salute to the two of them. The other was rather astonished to see the two mythical natives put this old man in such high regard.
