384: Horrifying Weapon

Horrifying Weapon

"Brother watch out!"1

Yman heard his sister's warning.

The beam came out of the gun's barrel and shot directly at him. But at that moment, *Wring!* The chakram came back and blocked the beam. It already took the form of a shield.

"Fool! That's useless!" The right-hand man of the leader of the criminals shouted scornfully. The chakram had a thin frame and the beam was known to have high penetrative force.

"H-He's right," Vortex agreed. He also thinks that the thin chakram cannot handle the power of the magic-based gun. It would surely penetrate the chakram. And chakram wasn't even meant for shielding. He wondered if RatSlayer didn't know about it or if he was looking down on the magic-based gun's power. He shouted, "RatSlayer is in danger!"

If only Yman used a mirror shield like what Kiko did in their match, it was when Kiko used his water element to form a mirror shield, he would have a great chance in deflecting the beam bullet. But alas, it seemed Yman wasn't capable of that kind of shield, or could he use a water element? The answer was No. They never saw him use such an element. In this competition, he only used a fire element. And even with that, he was only using the bare minimum of it.

So it seems Yman wasn't proficient with elemental magic skills. He was more proficient in shaping his mana into something like his chakram and drones. In this case, he was in the category of Manipulator type magician or maybe in the Alchemist type.

Well, whichever of these two types, he was for sure belong in those categories. Or perhaps, he belongs in both categories.

Vortex's scream was quite loud which reached as far as the two fighting on stage. When Almina heard this, reflexively, she turned around and momentarily stopped her intended attack. Her eyes made a brief scan outside the stage, where she saw Yman seemingly punching someone. And not far from him, an enemy was pointing a gun at him.

"Yman…" she called out his name.

However, what Almina did was the cause of her big mistake. She would have had Maena at the mercy of her sword. But because she was distracted, not only did she lose her chance to have an advantage in the fight, it also caused her to be disadvantaged.

When Almina made a slight pause, Maena did not miss the opportunity. Maena thought she would be done for when Almina suddenly used Consecutive Rapid Leap.

At that moment, Almina not only jumped two or three times consecutively, but she jumped five times in a row, arriving in front of her. Maena didn't know that Almina was already capable of that degree of mastery in her Rapid Leap ability. Her proficiency in using that skill seems to be higher than she initially thought. Maena regretted not using advanced resonance at the beginning of their match, so she was thankful when Almina made a big mistake of pausing in the middle of her charge.

Maena quickly summoned a dagger from her Cyber ​​Storage and, "Where are you looking at, Almina Amulet?!" She slashed at her. Almina's eyes widened as soon as she noticed her mistake. 

Instinctively, she tried to dodge it while raising her left arm to cover her face. But that was already a big mistake.

The dagger from Maena's slashed left a mark in the air after Maena slashed at Almina. Almina quickly retreated and avoided the bigger damage she should have sustained.

However, as she retreated, one of her arms was left behind. Right. Maena successfully cut Almina's left arm. Her Ice Elemental sword was also left held in her left hand.

Almina immediately used ice to cover the cut to prevent more blood from flowing. Almina frowned. She had no one to blame for that mistake but herself.

Almina couldn't help but look at the spectator's podium again. Even at this moment, she was still sneaking a glance to see what happened to Yman. Almina's eyes widened slightly at what she saw.

"T-The beam didn't penetrate? The chakram was able to deflect the opponent's beam!?" Vortex's shocked expression.

"What nonsense?!" The criminal who shot Yman could not believe it. "How did it happen?" Without caring about him, Yman continued punching their leader in the face. He was controlling the strength of his punch to avoid directly killing the target and also avoiding fainting him. In that way, this bastard who aimed a gun at his sister would definitely suffer more pain.

The right-hand man continued firing at Yman, but like the first one, it failed to penetrate his chakram shield. He tried to aim at different angles, but the chakram was so quick in catching the beam like it had a consciousness of its own. All the beams were deflected in the same manner. Everyone gawked at it.

The eyes of Instructor Goki and the other Instructors narrowed. They have seemed to finally realise the reason why the beam failed to penetrate the thin chakram shield.

Even Mercenary Ultima seemed to know of the reason as well. "Hm, I think the reason why the beam doesn't penetrate is because of the fast rotation of the chakram. It was able to deflect the beam effortlessly."

"What do you mean, Ultima bro?" Vortex asked.

"I mean… the reason why the beam cannot penetrate is because of a force called Centrifugal Force! This force directed the beam force in a different direction. So no matter how strong its penetrative force is, it doesn't matter."

"Hm, I see… so that's the reason, huh," Vortex muttered while caressing his chin, imitating Ultima's gesture.

"Yeah."

"If so… do you think… is it just a coincidence? Or does RatSlayer really know about that?"

"Heh ~" Ultima sneered. Looking at Yman's reaction, who didn't seem bothered by the enemy's attack, it was already predictable that he was certain of the outcome. Ultima opened his mouth again. "Maybe if we're talking about other people, I would believe that it might just be a coincidence. But since it is him, I can say with certainty that he knows it."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Damn! So RatSlayer is really an awesome person! I should have befriended him right at the beginning!" Again, Vortex regretted it. Ultima grinned. "You're so lucky, Ultima bro, you've got acquainted with him. Dammit! I'm so jealous!" Vortex envied him.

Right.

Ultima also thought he was so lucky that he went along with Yman that time when they went on a mission in the Underground Channel. Although it was a dangerous adventure, and he even became the demon's vessel in a short time, albeit he didn't know, all in all, it was a worthwhile adventure because they received an unimaginable prize. Having a percentage from the dungeon's total income monthly, it was a great prize that Ultima was willing to bet his life on.

Seeing the beam could not harm Yman, Ultima couldn't help but admire him again. It was this little brother who surprised him many times in that Underground Channel. Many people were looking down at him, but in truth, he was an awesome person with so many surprises that even a cold beauty like Maena Hex could not help but melt like ice with Yman's charisma. He has both the courage to dare and the brain to analyze the situation.

Yet again, Yman surprised him with his chakram. This little brother was truly a beast! He seemed like someone who had an unlimited trump card. Someone that made you feel at ease or secure just by being around him.

'Haha…' this time, Ultima laughed inwardly. It was a mocking laugh to himself for thinking he was better than Yman at that time. Yet in truth, he wasn't even comparable to half of him.

He later learned that it was actually him who saved him from the demon's clutch. Ultima had yet to say his thanks for saving his life. In truth, it wasn't only his life that was saved by Yman, but also the life of many others.

"Nonetheless, aren't his chakrams such a horrifying weapon?" Suddenly, Vortex mentioned it.

"Hm, why do you think so?"

"Eh? Because you see... it can't only attack, it also can defend."

"Hehe. You're right. They're truly horrifying."

When he noticed that what he was doing did not work, the right-hand man of the leader of the criminals shouted. "Stop!"

However,

Bam!

Guh!

Yman just kept punching the leader's face. The leader's teeth were almost gone in his mouth and his face was swollen. His face becomes bloated. Instead of hating, one could feel pity for how he looks now.

"F*ck! If you don't stop we will kill all the people around one by one!" Angry shouts of the right-hand man.

But Yman didn't seem to hear it. He continued punching the leader until the leader's resonance with his deity canceled after reaching the threshold of his life points. His face returned to normal and a goon-looking System Deity in a thief outfit appeared beside the leader's face.

Seeing it, a sinister grin appeared on Yman's face.
