Chapter 20: Chapter 20: You Talk Too Much!
Battle Arena Number 15.
In the middle of battle arena number 15, we can see two people standing 10 meters apart. One has a thin appearance, is tall, has long black hair, and a tongue that always sticks out from the bottom of his mouth stares at his opponent with a look of intent to cut his body. While the others have the appearance of their entire body covered in a white robe and a white mask with a shorter height than the person in front of them they are Jack the Slayer and White or often known as Shirou.
"Wow!... Host, please start"
"Yes…Yes… I can't wait to see the frightened face behind that mask"
"Jack finish quickly and show the terrified face behind the mask."
"Come on Jack finish as usual"
Various comments came back from the audience on the platform that had been prepared in the battle arena. Hearing these words from the audience, Jack's face showed a smirk as he said, "Che... Che… Che… Did you hear what the audience said? You better try hard to be good prey for me tonight."
Hearing these words from Jack, Shirou didn't respond because he thought the person in front of him was nothing more than a weak side character. Even to warm up, this person in front was not enough to get himself to do the warm-up that he usually does before training. However, seeing Shirou not replying to his words, Jack was not angry but became more and more interested in seeing the face behind the mask.
" Che… Che… I want to see how this scared face looks after I cut off some of your limbs" Jack thought as he licked his mouth with his tongue with an exciting look.
For the problem of the match that Shirou participated in, there was no problem if during the fight the opponent they were fighting had a disability or their limbs were severed. Because things like that have become a very natural thing in a match like this, it's just that in the rules of the match it's forbidden to kill someone on purpose. If something like that happens, the punishment that will be obtained is quite heavy starting from being banned from competing for several days until membership is revoked.
If it was a Soul Master who had a background that supported them financially, they didn't really care about it, but in contrast to the civilian Soul Masters, they would be in a lot of trouble if their membership were to be revoked. If they really wanted to kill each other, usually they would have a life and deathmatch. There any Soul Master could kill their opponent as they pleased.
The presenter who saw that the two fighters were already in the arena immediately raised one of his hands forward as he said excitedly, "Fight…. Start!" While waving his hand down excitedly.
"Praying Mantis, Own"
Jack instantly released his praying mantis martial soul. From behind Jack, a shadow of a praying mantis with a size of 2.5 meters appeared, from both of Jack's arms appeared a green blade that was about 50 cm long. Beneath his feet, we can see the 4 soul rings Yellow, Yellow, Purple, and Purple which is the best configuration a Soul Master can possess.
"There he is! Jack's martial soul the Slaughterer, the Praying Mantis." The presenter immediately gave a very exciting comment when he saw that Jack's martial soul had been released.
Jack didn't wait a long time, he immediately activated his first yellow martial soul ring, "First soul ability ~ Wind Blade" The blade attached to Jack's arm was instantly enveloped in the power of the wind element which could increase his sharpness.
After Jack released this ability, he looked at Shirou with a murderous look and immediately increased his leg strength moving at high speed towards Shirou who was still standing still in front of him. The onlookers who saw Shirou not letting go of his martial soul immediately started mocking him.
"Hahaha… Just look at that guy, he was so scared that he couldn't let go of his martial soul"
"Ha ha ha ha…. Come on Jack, quickly take off the mask, I want to see the frightened face of that person from behind the mask."
"Hahaha….."
The audience laughed seeing Shirou not letting go of his martial soul. Shirou himself at this time was still very relaxed looking at Jack who was charging towards him with his legs which had been enhanced using soul power. According to Shirou himself, Jack's current speed was very slow, almost the same as the speed of a turtle.
Jack who had rushed towards Shirou immediately arrived in front of him and swung his right blade at Shirou in a horizontal slash towards his stomach while roaring excitedly, "Die!"
Seeing this attack launched by Jack, Shirou just raised his brow and jumped back casually backward to avoid Jack's attack.
Jack who saw that his attack was dodged by Shirou didn't look disappointed but had a pleased expression on his face as he looked at Shirou and said, "Che...Che...Che… It should be like that, otherwise, you wouldn't be a good enough prey for today. Jack didn't wait long straight back and started attacking Shirou using the blades in his hands both vertically and horizontally.
However, all the attacks launched by Jack, none of them hit Shirou. Even for the cloak, he was wearing, Jack couldn't touch it. Jack's previously happy face started to slowly become very serious considering that all the attacks that were launched by him were easily dodged by Shirou.
"Ohhhh! ~ Unbelievable, contestant White was able to dodge all attacks launched by Jack the Slasher. Even Jack himself has not been able to tell about the clothes that White is wearing." The host immediately commented with enthusiasm seeing this.
"What?" The audience was taken aback by this, as it was the first time they had seen someone who could dodge all of Jack's attacks without using any soul force or using martial souls.
Jack who felt that he was unable to hit Shirou immediately activated his second soul ring. The second yellow soul ring instantly lit up brightly as Jack said excitedly, "Second soul ability ~ Wind Slashing." Jack immediately took a step back and swung the blade of his right arm at Shirou.
A 5-meter long blade of wind rushed straight towards Shirou at a very high speed while cutting off a bit of the surface of the battle arena. Shirou who saw this wind blade had no fear but he immediately dodged to the left of the wind blade attack.
Jack who saw his attack dodged immediately swung his left arm horizontally at Shirou. The 5-meter long wind blade instantly moved towards Shirou at high speed. Seeing this, Shirou immediately moved forward slowly and jumped to dodge Jack's attack.
" Opportunity" Jack who saw Shirou dodge his wind blade by jumping immediately reactivated his first soul ability which instantly enveloped his two blades with wind power and immediately moved towards Shirou.
Arriving in front of Shirou, Jack's face showed a very excited expression as he raised his two blades and swung at Shirou in an X pattern "Die!" Jack roared eagerly waiting to see Shirou would be cut by him.
Shirou who saw Jack's attack only raised his eyebrows from behind his mask. Shirou instantly enveloped his entire body with a very thin soul force forming an invisible armor. Shirou immediately used both hands to block Jack's attack.
Shirou himself could easily dodge Jack's attacks using his flying ability. However, Shirou chose to accept the attack since the ability to fly was usually only possessed by a Title Douluo or people with a flying type martial soul. Moreover, Shirou only listed his martial soul as a lightning type, it would be very difficult for him to explain that ability.
Jack who saw Shirou was about to receive his attack instantly became more excited and added strength to cut off both of Shirou's arms. The audience who saw this incident became even more excited because they finally saw Jack about to cut his opponent.
"Die!" Jack roared back loudly and immediately swung his arms in an X pattern towards Shirou. Shirou, who had prepared for this, immediately received Jack's attack with both hands that were covered in thin soul power.
As a result, there was only a spark that normally occurs between the two metals and Shirou retreated a few meters back.
"Ha?" Jack who saw this incident was very surprised because he found that he did not feel Shirou's arm being cut by his ability, but he felt that the two blades in his hand collided with a very strong iron.
"Extraordinary! Did you all see this? Jack's blade The cutter can't cut both arms off White!!! Wow!!!... Has White released his martial soul? Or maybe it's all just his physical strength?" The emcee roared with pleasure seeing this happening.
"What?"
"But how could that person do it?"
"Has that person released his martial soul?
The spectators who saw the incident became shocked and were also shocked to see that the blade that Jack swung earlier did not touch or cut his opponent's arm at all.
Jack looked straight at Shirou narrowly as he said, "Che…Che… Che… So you've let go of your martial soul, huh?"
Shirou who got this question from Jack just remained silent because he thought there was no weight to answer the question. However, Shirou still spoke in his hoarse voice, "Is this your only power? You better release your strongest ability right away, otherwise, I'll finish it right now. It's too boring fighting you, not even enough for me to warm up"
"Ha?" Jack, who listened to Shirou's words, immediately became very angry, because this was the first time he had been toyed with like this.
"Wow!… Did you all hear that? White blatantly provoked Jack the Slasher." The host added fuel to add to Jack's wrath.
"Isn't this White very arrogant?"
"Yeah...Yeah... Jack, Let's bring out your strongest ability and finish this guy off"
"Jack cut this guy off quickly!"
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
The audience immediately said in unison the word 'Cut' which represented every action and attack carried out by Jack. Jack himself didn't really hear the words from the audience but he was very focused on Shirou, moreover, Shirou had just provoked him.
"Che… Che… Che… Good… Good… Looks like you're tired of living, then I'll immediately grant your wish" Jack said as he released his killing intent staring at Shirou.
Jack instantly mobilized his soul force by activating his fourth soul ring. The purple soul ring that was under Jack's feet instantly flashed brilliantly.
"Fourth soul ability ~ Blade Body Armor"
Jack immediately screamed loudly while in the area around his body appeared various blades that were similar to the blades in his two hands but had different sizes.
However, Jack didn't stop, instead, he immediately activated his third soul ability. The third purple ring that was under Jack's feet immediately flashed brilliantly.
"Third soul ability ~ Wind slashing in succession"
Jack instantly released his third soul ability along with his fourth soul ability. Every blade that was on Jack's entire body was covered with an enormous amount of wind energy and was immediately swung at Shirou while Jack said excitedly, "Die!"
An enormous amount of wind blades shot straight at Shirou at high speed. The presenter who saw this instead of being anxious or afraid became even more excited as he said, "Jack the Slasher has finally brought his best!!!!! How will White get out of Jack's best attack? Will White still survive like before? Or maybe White will be the same as the opponents that Jack previously fought?"
"There he is!"
"That's Jack's best ability!"
"Cut!"
"Cut!"
The crowd roared with excitement again after seeing Jack bring out his best. Jack himself is very famous in this battle arena with himself really likes to cut his opponent, and it also happens after he will release his best ability.
Shirou who saw the various blades of wind pointing at him could easily see the trajectory of the attacks that Jack aimed at him. Shirou frowned thoughtfully, " All these wind blades are aimed at my vital point. It seemed like my provocation only made him want to kill me even more. I better get this over with quickly. I've been playing here for too long."
Jack who didn't know Shirou's thoughts continued to release various extremely strong and sharp wind blades towards Shirou while dancing and said in a happy tone, "Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!"
Shirou himself who has a very high sense of hearing can easily hear all the words from Jack. Shirou who was too lazy with this match he was doing immediately used his instant moveability and suddenly he appeared above Jack.
"What?"
The entire audience as well as the host who saw this were very surprised to see Shirou's sudden appearance above Jack. However, unlike the audience and the host who saw Shirou's appearance, Jack didn't look at all and just focused on continuing to attack until he heard a voice coming from above his head.
"You know, you talk too much"
Shirou said in a low and hoarse voice. Jack who heard this voice immediately stopped the attack and glanced towards the front knowing that Shirou was no longer at the location where he had made the attack.
"Ha?"
However, before he could, Jack could see who was above him. Shirou had clenched his right fist and was enveloped in ample soul power. Shirou immediately swung towards Jack's left head with force.
BOOM!!!!!......
Jack's body was immediately hit hard by Shirou towards the floor of the battle arena. The floor of the battle arena was instantly shattered by that one attack launched by Shirou. The entire audience fell silent when they saw Jack who had been hit on the floor of the arena in an unconscious state and his martial soul and soul ring had been pulled back.
Shirou slowly descended and stabilized his position. He felt a very quiet atmosphere while turning his attention to the host who was silent seeing this. Shirou immediately said in a hoarse and low voice, "The match is over, announce it now!"
The emcee immediately regained his senses at Shirou's words, he immediately raised the microphone to his mouth and said with enthusiasm again, "The match is over… Tonight's match was won by White. With this win, White has 1 win and 0 losses."
"That… Jack was defeated in one hit?"
"This?..."
"Extraordinary!"
"That person is very strong"
"He can beat Jack in just one hit?"
"That fellow didn't even use his martial soul power at all"
"Then how did he appear above Jack's head earlier?"
"Is that an ability that he created himself?"
By the time that person's comment came out, the entire audience fell silent again as it was extremely difficult for a Soul Master to create his own abilities. If a Soul Master could create his own soul ability, that Soul Master must have extremely terrifying talent.
"Is that really an ability created by myself?"
"So what? If it's not a self-created ability, how do you explain with that person not releasing his soul ring?"
The audience was silenced again by that comment. They looked back at Shirou who turned around and slowly walked out of the battle arena. The face that previously showed signs of disdain instantly turned into one of reverence for someone extremely powerful. Various applause immediately came out while one of the spectators immediately said his name.
"White!"
"White!"
"White!"
Just as one of the spectators started chanting White's name, the various spectators also started saying the same thing until the entire battle arena followed suit. Shirou who didn't really care much walked out of the battle arena and thought,
" This location is not enough to get enough opponents to compete. It seems that I can only go to the Star Dou Forest to seek permission from the beast lords so that I can train there against various animals. Otherwise, I might be able to ask Grandpa Sword to accompany me to the train. However, this second option was quite risky because then, my power would likely be greatly exposed. An 8-year-old Soul Sect would definitely cause an uproar in this Douluo continent. Seems like only the first option is good enough. I could try offering a reward of giving a 100,000-year-old tree of life as a reward if the soul beastmasters can grant permission to train there."
Shirou who had walked out of battle arena number 15 immediately left the Tian Dou Great Battle Arena and already had no intention of trying to fight because everything he did would just be a waste of time, Shirou had thought of continuing his training at the hotel where he lives now while waiting for the goods he ordered finished.
