Self-created Skill

"Please don't kill me" Alex was dragging his body backwards on the ground with fear deeply written on his face,Ethan took one step at a time following the hopeless looking Alex.

From what Alex could see he knew for sure that Ethan would kill him,never in his life would he have thought that he would be at the mercy of a middle stage series warrior who didn't even make use of any of his talents just his body strength,and this warrior didn't even posses a beast talent, from what he could see Ethan had a weapon talent and at most an elemental talent, but that wasn't enough to beat him as mercilessly as he did ,to him Ethan was nothing but a monster!

What Ethan did, comprehending insights during a battle appeared to be crazy and deadly, but to Ethan who had been doing it for a long time didn't tag it as dangerous as the others took it to be.

If the others took it has treading through a valley with extremely strong Sedron beasts were the survival rate was only 10%, he took it as just scaling a mountain!

Ethan from a young age had noticed his terrifying comprehension ability, the whole technique in the hunter skills of his clan had been modified by him, and most of when he gained insights to it was when he was battling with Sedron beasts ,there had been situations when he had almost gotten killed just like this battle but in the end he always came out victorious.

Even with his ability he wouldn't dare comprehend in a battle were he wasn't sure he would gain insights and most especially not die.

Ethan always had a specific situation when he always tried such daring things,only when he felt he was at the brink of making a breakthrough in the art or skill, the only reason he was bold enough to attempt gaining insights in the battle with both late stage series warrior fighting him was that he felt his sword aura was yet to be complete and if he failed in not achieving it in the current battle it would take him a very long time and perhaps he might never have a complete sword aura again.

Zack was boiling, if it was possible for steam to be puffing out of his ears then it would have been with the rate at which he was angry.

This crazy lad fought two of them in an handicapped situation and was still able to beat them, not only did he gain a sword aura he also dared gain insights which lead to him forming a ring power barrier and the most unacceptable of all was that he beat Alex to a plump with only slaps!

If word about this should reach out then they would become object of ridicule for the rest of their lives.

All of this had made him extremely furious but what catalysed his anger to another realm was the fact that Ethan totally ignored him as though he didn't exist, like he wasn't part of the battle an ordinary audience, all of this assumed, because of the fact that Ethan turned his back against him.

Wasn't he afraid of a sneak attack?!

"I will kill you with my own hands!" Zack with this sped towards Ethan with his sword in hand which was still shining in a bright ray of light.

"Illusion Dynamic Sword Art"

"Flash of Reality"

Zack began to slash his sword here and there stirring up the wind around him and more noticeably was the fact that every of his slash was covered by a ray of light and before long one couldn't identify the sword any longer what Ethan could see was flashes of light tearing the air.

Ethan on seeing this couldn't help but retreat using the opportunity to think of a plan to counter the attack, the ring power barrier would be useless since he couldn't even see the sword so he wouldn't know where the attack would be directed to on his body and most importantly using his aura to pull out his ring power was extremely draining ,he consumed at least 40% of his ring power just to form one single barrier.

"Haha,run as much as you want, it wouldn't still save you, but remember that it is i Zack that killed you " jeered Zack on seeing Ethan retreat. He boosted his speed with a devilish smile hung on his face.

Ethan didn't bother to reply Zack ,his mind was calculating several tactics he could use to counter the attack ,if it wasn't for the fact that he had restricted himself from making use of any of his talents he would have just released the sea of mist.

Acquiescing with the arrogance of his sword had benefitted him a lot so why wouldn't he continue in such a path!

As if the sword felt Ethan's resolution ,it vibrated a bit and a black light erupted from its sheath without warning the light wrapped around Ethan like angelic wings and pierced his chest and like a sponge his body absorbed the black light.

The speed at which the whole scene occurred took less than a breath that Zack felt he was hallucinating, it was just to swift!

Ethan had shock written all over face not because of the sudden appearance of the black light but because his view of the world had taken a visible change.

"Get ready to die,lad" his tone this time appeared strangely different,Doji could feel the cold killing intent emanating from his eyes ,like as though he had Doji's live in his grasp.

"Self-created Skill!"

"Earth's armour"

Immediately the mystical warrior uttered this words his body was suddenly surrounded by a green halo and earth elemental particles began to surge towards him like a flood and before long his body was covered in a armour that sheened with a yellow light,the body of the armour was made of several stones which quality and durability far exceeded that of normal stones.
