Chapter 92
Bang!
"What?" When their fists collided, Harry's ability energy started sucking the energy from Mike. But at the same time, fire energy from scarlet essence entered his body, moving through several blood veins, causing intense heat inside the veins. The intense pain made Harry scream.
In an instant, he retreated several meters away. The ability energy started running throughout his body, destroying the fire energy.
Western Hidden Punch- It was a marvelous move developed by Mike to attack someone from inside. This move was meant to kill someone from inside. If Harry hadn't run away, his entire blood vein system will be burnt by his fire energy.
And, a powerful explosion will accompany the burst of blood veins. But Harry retreated and destroyed the fire energy. Innate Ability is something that everyone can control. But there is also a limit to it. If a person's innate ability is too powerful like Time Innate Ability, that person needs a lot of training to synchronize with his innate ability.
And, at the same time, if a person tries to do something beyond his innate ability limit, that person needs higher-level synchronization. It is a very common term missed by many cultivators. Because most people do not possess overpowered Innate Abilities like Time Innate Ability or something like S-Rank.
So, many people do not focus on learning more about their innate abilities. Mike is a pure example. He never tries to learn more about his Innate Ability, so he doesn't have much knowledge about it. Gravity Control is a domain created by mastering A-Rank skills.
But, skills are something that is closely related to innate ability. That means skill must have the same attributes as innate ability. Naturally, his Meteor Fist was something related to his Brute Force. Even though he knew he could manipulate Gravity to a certain extent, he never thought of Gravity being a branch for his Brute Force.
Gravity and Brute Force aren't the same and there is a gap between them. But this gap is filled by skill. And, the skill can only connect two similar forces. So, Brute Force and Gravity might not be the same, but they are similar.
Both need extreme mass. Brute Force increases its mass, while massive objects can affect Gravity. If Harry had less synchronization with his innate ability, he would have sucked his own life force. After all, this innate ability is at least an S-Rank.
So, when Harry treated himself, Mike instantly moved forward. The Gravity Control erupted out of him, pressing Harry to the ground. Once he fell in the domain, he also got affected as he moved fast towards Harry.
"Fire Demon Fighting Four Direction- Western Hidden Punch"
The moment he used the same skill, Harry suddenly grew a plant near his foot. In an instant, the plant grew a green branch that appeared in front of the punch.
Bang! Bang!
The moment his fist hits the plant, it exploded into pieces. Seeing this chance, Harry moved forward and the ability energy emerged out of his fist. He had bent his body and smashed his fist on Mike's stomach.
The impact of his punch spread into Mike's body, pushing him away. But suddenly, he caught the hand of misbalanced Mike and kept pulling him. His right fist was sucking the lifespan of Mike. Although he was misbalanced, Mike didn't panicked.
"Inferno Booster" Boom!
Mike opened both of his palms in front of Harry's face and shot the stream of red flame out of it. The powerful stream hits Harry right into his face. It not only burned him but also sent him flying. But Mike was in the same situation.
Due to the power of Inferno Booster, and the impact of the punch, he was pushed back.
Thud!
He tried to stand on his feet but eventually, he struck the wall and fell to the ground. At the same time, Claire's voice rang on his mind "Host, you have lost sixty years of your life. Please retreat!"
At this moment, Claire was also begging him to leave. But Mike couldn't do it. When he turned around and saw Jenny and Scarlet struggling against Daniel, he knew he can't leave. He was already on the verge of going berserk when he saw Jenny smashed away by Daniel.
But, he couldn't go and save her now. At least, he needs to defeat Harry. Mike was pushed to the limit but still couldn't defeat Harry. Suddenly, an idea struck his mind as he shouted 'Claire, what happened to the Space Essence? Didn't I tell you to integrate it with my body?'
"Host, it takes time to integrate Space Essence. It is integrating with your body. Only sixty percent has been completed. You can't use Void Killing Sword Heart Law." Claire spoke with an anxious voice.
'Claire, do you think I can defeat him if I use the Void Killing Sword Heart Law?' Hearing her, Mike's expression fell and brightened simultaneously. There was anxiety in his heart when he asked this question.
"Yes, but it will take ten minutes to completely integrate it with your body," Claire spoke but there was anxiety and nervousness in her tone. She really wanted Mike to run away. As long as he runs away, he can eventually merge with Space Essence.
Suddenly, Claire spoke "Host, I know you are worried about Mistress more than others. I know this is the only reason why you are staying here. But, did you forget how powerful her family is? Do you think she doesn't have any trump card? Even if she doesn't possess it now, her family members are definitely keeping an eye on her."
"So, please do not worry about her and run away."
"Hu!" Mike released a deep breath and slowly stood up. He looked at Harry who was slowly standing up while drinking Health Potion and spoke in his thoughts 'Claire, I know you are worried about me. But, you need to understand who am I? I am scum. I am a person who holds dirty thoughts about every beautiful woman no matter of their relationship status.'
'I do not like studying or being smartass. I try to laugh and joke all the time. I love having sex all the time. But I also like spending time with my family and friends. I harbor different sexual positions and looks from every woman I have.
'I fear losing my women. I also fear my women getting raped by others. I try to keep a relationship with a virgin or a pure slut, so I won't break other men's hearts after stealing their women. After all, Karma is a bitch. I fear death. I do not want to die. I want to be immortal and spend every day in the embrace of my woman.'
'But that dream is quite hard to achieve. This is my journey to achieve that. And to achieve that, I need women, I need brothers, I need family, and I need strength. To gain each of them, I need courage and Willpower to face everything.'
'Yeah, you are right. I can totally run away. Then what? Do you think I can face Jenny after running away? Do you think I can face Lauren after the death of Luke and Lucas? Do you think I can ever make new friends if I take them as tools?'
'Listen, Claire, I want to be an immortal and live in a beautiful world. That world is my earth. So, I need to keep my earth beautiful. To achieve it, I need a family who can support me. I need friends who can help me. I need women to stay with me.'
'And, what if Jenny doesn't have any trump card? What if her family couldn't help her in time? Do you think I can ever forgive myself if Jenny dies? I can take risks for everything. But I can never take risks for a person I love the most. And, damn right, I love her and I love her as a woman.'
At this moment, Mike was burning with fighting intent. The scarlet essence in his body was getting darker and darker. His blood was trembling. He stomped his foot on the ground and dashed towards Harry.
Seeing Mike coming for himself, Harry regained his vigilance and revolved the ability energy in his body. The Life Stealing Innate Ability rapidly spreading from his toes to his head. He also stomped his foot on the ground and rushed towards Mike.
He opened his palm and created a spiral movement of his ability energy. Suddenly, Mike noticed a powerful sucking energy from Harry. It was a skill that could suck the life force from the distance. Even though its effect might not be as scary as close contact, it would still scare most people.
"Inferno Booster"
But Mike didn't care. Rather, he wanted to beat Harry to a pulp before he could steal his life force. Two streams of flames gushed out of his palm improving his distance. Upon reaching up close, he stopped the Inferno Booster and clenched his fist.
He smashed his left foot on the ground and punched straight to his face. But Harry also put his left foot forward and leaned front, smashing his left palm against Mike's fist.
Bang!
When the two of them collided, Mike puts all of his strength in his fist, knocking Harry away. But instead of fear or any negative feelings, he could only see the creepy and evil smile on his face. The smile was accompanied by a loud explosion behind.
Boom!
"Big Brother!" Only when Mike heard the crying tone of Lucas, he turned around.
