The air rippled and distorted as Evan completely released his aura.
“How is this possible?” Adam asked in a tone full of disbelief when he felt Evan’s aura. He could tell that Evan’s Aura was even more powerful than an A rank hunter.
Adam was sure that even after being an A-rank hunter for a long time, he could not release such strong pressure.
As Evan released his aura, Jack’s face had already turned pale and his legs were trembling.
Evan didn’t pay any attention to Adam and Jack.
He clenched his fist and used mana reinforcement. A layer of blue mana appeared around his body and his terrifying aura became even more powerful. But he didn’t stop there and used wind manipulation as a green layer of wind also started covering his body.
Evan’s eyes shined with cold light as he punched forward without holding back.
Rumble!
The force behind his punch was so powerful that even before his punch hit the barrier, the ground inside the barrier began to shake.
Boooomm-!
A doomsday-like explosion occurred as Evan’s punch collided against the barrier. The ground inside the barrier was completely destroyed and debris flew everywhere.
The barrier trapping Evan was not able to handle the force behind his punch and shattered like fragile glass.
Jack took a step back and fell on his butt when he saw how Evan broke the A rank barrier with a single attack. Adam’s mouth was also wide open because he knew that he could not break the A rank barrier with a single attack.
Seeing how the barrier shattered like glass, Evan just smirked and was not surprised at all.
Now both of his cores are at B+ rank, so it was only natural that he would be much stronger than an A rank hunter.
After coming out of the barrier, Evan looked at Jack, who was looking at him with scared eyes and showed him a kind smile.
Seeing Evan’s smile, Jack felt his heart go cold. He quickly got up from the ground wanting to hide behind Adam. But before he could hide, Evan used his newly gained skill shadow nail and stopped him at the same place.
Jack’s body turned into a statue when the cursed nail hit his shadow. Jack wanted to move his body but found he lost all control over it and could not even move a finger.
Adam wanted to stop Evan when he saw him throwing a black nail towards Jack, but Evan was much faster than him.
“What did you do to him?” Adam asked Evan in a cold voice when he saw Jack standing in the same place like a statue.
Evan did not answer Adam and looked at him with an indifferent look. As his eyes met with Adam’s eyes the temperature in the basement started to drop.
Suddenly, gravity seemed to increase around Evan, as if an invisible force pressed down on him. His movements became sluggish as he fought against the intensified pull.
Feeling the change in gravity Evan was not surprised.
After his conflict with Jack, he did a little research about Adam because he knew he will have to deal with him in future. According to what he found on the internet, Adam is a rare gravity magic user.
‘He will be a good undead for my shadow army’ Evan thought when he felt his feet sinking into the ground.
“I don’t know what trick you used to break that barrier but I will show the real difference between a B+ and A rank hunter,” Adam said in a chilling voice, and unleashed a wave of intense gravity toward Evan, attempting to pin him to the ground.
Evan felt a terrifying pressure boring down on him and the entire building started to shake. Feeling the pressure, Evan narrowed his eyes.
Even with his current strength, he could tell that he will not be able to withstand this kind of pressure for long.
The pressure was not only affecting his outer body, but his internal organs were also feeling the pressure.
‘He is indeed far stronger than normal A rank hunter because of gravity magic’ Evan thought and took a deep breath, ‘but this kind of pressure is still far from enough to make me pin down on the ground’
Temporal Velocity!
Evan used his skill and charged towards Adam as if he was not affected by gravity in the slightest.
Adam was shocked when he saw Evan rushing towards him without any difficulty and wanted to stop him. But before he could use any other skill, tens of wind blades formed around him releasing a very sharp aura.
Seeing sharp wind blades, Adam redirected the gravitational forces around him, creating a protective barrier that deflected all wind blades that came towards him.
Woosh!
Because of gravitational force wind blades clashed against the ground creating deep crevices all over the basement.
Evan took advantage of wind blades and appeared before Adam in an instant.
Bluish-green aura burst forth from his body and he punched Adam without holding back.
Adam’s pupils constricted to the size of needles as he felt the power behind Evan’s punch.
At the last moment, he used one of his skills ‘Gravity Constructs’ to cover his entire arm in the gravitational force and met Evan with his own punch.
—)Gravity Constructs: The ability to shape and mould gravitational energy into solid constructs or weapons. Using this skill you can create platforms, barriers, or weapons out of pure gravity, using them for offense or defence.
The fist covered in a bluish-green aura met with the fist covered in a white aura and
Boooooooommmmmm-!!!
The entire building shook as the walls started to collapse. The ground of the basement was completely destroyed, and the building was on the verge of falling down.
“Argh” a pain-filled voice escaped from Adam’s mouth and he flew backwards like a broken kite.
BOOOOM-!
Adam crashed against the wall of the basement and the wall completely collapsed upon impact.
Evan also slid backwards because of the impact and noticed his hand was shaking.
Evan frowned when he saw this because he could tell that Adam was not using his full power. With the power of an A rank gravity user, he could easily destroy a large-scale area with a single attack but he was holding back his power for some reason.
But it did not take Evan long to realise why Adam is holding back.
He looked at Jack who was still standing like a statue and smiled coldly.
‘He does not want to hurt him huh’ Evan thought and pointed one of his fingers towards Jack, ‘I want to see how strong an A rank hunter is. Let me give him some motivation so that he will not hold back anymore’
Adam stood up feeling a sharp pain in his arm, a faint tickle of blood was coming out of his mouth but he was mostly fine.
After standing up he looked in Evan’s direction, but his eyes trembled when he saw Evan pointing one of his fingers in Jack’s direction.
“St_” he wanted to ask Evan to stop but before he could say anything, a pitch-black bullet came out of Evan’s finger and pierced the head of Jack wiping out his life force in an instant.
