Blood Assimilation

94 Defeat

When young master Slandar noticed that his carefully erected barrier was breaking down, his heart immediately sank to the bottom.

However, he could not simply ignore the sudden pain in his body, and due to that, the barrier continued to break down.

That was because when he stopped inserting magical energy into the artifact, the artifact he was using to shield himself also stopped working altogether thus leading to the magic barrier breaking down.

Randy on the other hand did not waste this time and rushed toward the other party when they were still confused about his earlier attack and immediately threw another punch at him.

“BAM!”

Randy struck him directly on his face without holding back too much, after all the other party was a rich young master with profound background, meaning that he might still have some other tricks up his sleeves to counter his attack.

Sure enough, although he was sent flying away, however young master Slandar seemed not to be hurt that badly in contrast to how impactful Randy’s attack may seem, probably due to another artifact or defense equipment that he always carried with him.

Nonetheless, Randy was certain that the other party could still feel the impact from his punch due to the effects of his technique, Void Rippling Punch.

This fist technique’s specialty was to send wave after wave outwards the more one struck out.

.....

And then the waves stack or overlap to form a sort of ripple effect or chaotic shockwave that permeates the pores on one’s body, which then causes internal damage depending on how strong the opponent was.

And also, from this encounter, Randy could finally infer that the ripple from his fist technique could even permeate through an erected magical barrier.

Since the attack itself, was not physical and mostly relied on the atmosphere, in other words, the air or wind that naturally existed in the atmosphere was what Randy depended on to execute the fist technique.

Everybody needs to breathe in the air in the atmosphere if they want to continue living and thus, one that could manipulate this element of nature could essentially cause significant damage to a living being.

Although this technique of his was not powerful enough to manipulate the air directly, nevertheless, the effect it had on humans was quite satisfying.

“Urghh! You fucking brat! How dare you punch my face; I haven’t even completed casting my spell, how shameless. Do you know how much healing potion it would cost to restore my body back to normal? You will have to compensate me for this damage!”

Young master Slandar said as he held his nose that seemed to be bleeding from Randy’s attack.

Randy observed him and he noticed that the other party was not physically hurt but most likely due to his fist technique, his nose was bleeding from inside out.

At this moment, Randy opened his mouth and said: “What are you talking about? And you got the wrong idea here... Did I say that I was going to wait for you to finish with your spell? And also, judging from how long you were taking to cast that spell of yours, you must’ve been casting some flashy and dangerous spell, am I right? Otherwise, why would you be taking that long to launch your attack? You’re not going to tell me that I am lying about this, right?”

“...”

The whole place suddenly turned silent with young master Slandar not having a way to explain himself because if he were to lie and say something like, ‘You’re only trying to avoid compensating me by saying this or your assumption is wrong, that was only a low ranking magic spell, how could that have been a dangerous spell?’ The moment he says something like that, he would be proven wrong by the bystander, Miss Feng.

And thus he could not respond to Randy’s claim at this moment.

Although he was an arrogant young master of a prestigious family... no, precisely because he was from a prestigious family that he knew when to stop embarrassing himself.

Randy also did not care for his response and so, he turned to Miss Feng who was standing by the side with a stunned expression as she did not expect Randy to win against the other party so easily.

However, that was not what caused her to be shocked, it was the way Randy carried himself and the way he spoke to the other party enough to cause them to be unable to talk back to him.

‘Has this boy always been this overbearing? Does he take after his mother perhaps?’ She thought to herself as she continued to look at Randy.

“Miss Feng, I am sorry for inconveniencing you like this today, but I will be taking my leave now that this matter had taken care of.” Randy said to Miss Feng snapping her out of her daze.

“Oh, okay.” She then replied to him.

“Oh,” Randy then turned to young master Slandar in the distance who was propping himself up at this moment and said in a calm tone: “You guys had better leave this shop if you’re only here to cause trouble, because the next time we meet, I won’t be holding back my punches then.”

Saying that Randy turned to the stairs and then walked away in calm but quick steps.

And very soon, he descended the stairs and then left the Mystic Magic Shop shortly after.

...

After he left, everyone on the second floor had dumbfounded expressions on their faces including Miss Feng, especially from his last speech that sounded like a warning to young master Slandar.

‘He won’t be holding his punches? Who does this brat think he is?’ Young master Slandar gritted his teeth as he thought with a furious expression.

He had never been embarrassed like this before.

“Men, what are you all doing still lying there, come and help me up?” He then shouted at the two men in black.

They were unconscious the whole time but woke up right before Randy said his last speech and then left afterward.

“Our apologies, young master.” The two men quickly bowed and said in unison.

“Save your nonsense and come help me up.” Young master Slandar said in an impatient voice, clearly irritated.

“But young master, just who was that brat? To be able to take us down before we even got close to him...” One of the men in black said with a frown.

He was the one that was taken down before he could even throw a punch.

“His mana fluctuations indicate that he was almost at the peak level of a fourth rank magical warrior, but he was also a mage judging by how he was using magic spells along with his physical attack.” The other man also said as he helped young master Slandar up.

He was the one that experienced Randy’s binding spell firsthand before he was ultimately taken down.

Young master Slandar was also curious about this matter and so, when he heard his men’s words, he instantly turned to Miss Feng.

“Hehe, so you’re still curious, huh? Well, it doesn’t matter anyway... I will tell you now, so get it through your thick skulls. That ‘brat’ you were talking about is the son of that person.” Miss Feng said in a mysterious voice.

“Who?”

The other parties all asked in unison.

“...The Angelic Ice Mage. And well, I don’t need to say anymore, right?” Miss Feng took her sweet time to say this, she enjoyed watching their anticipation expressions as she built up the suspension.

“What?!”

The other parties all exclaimed when they heard this.

“D-D-Do you mean that seventh circle mage that mostly specialized in ice spells and techniques?” Young master Slandar stuttered as he muttered these words in shock.

It would appear that he did not anticipate this kind of answer.

‘Fuck! So he was the child of those two monsters from 19 years ago during that tragic incident?’

‘Damn it, how could I have run into that woman’s child in this place? ...Then again, I could say that I was very lucky to not have managed to hurt that brat and was instead hurt by him.’

“Phew...”

Thinking about all these, he could only sigh in relief for some reason in the end, as if some sort of burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
