Chapter 323 Luis Vs Jaren: Desire To Fry Someone
Luis was somewhat looking forward to a quest when he had agreed to fight Jaren and he was glad he had gotten that quest after they had arrived at the spot Jaren had chosen.
The quest didn\'t promise him much exp but five hundred exp was more than enough for him to level up and he was going to make sure he won this fight and completed the quest.
\'Remember it\'s not just about winning, you have to make sure you don\'t lose fifty percent of your HP.\' Lena said.
\'I know.\' Luis replied.
"Are you ready?" Jaren asked as he took his fighting stance.
"Yeah," Luis replied with a nod.
"It\'s time to get fried." He muttered to himself as his hands quickly got covered by sparks of lightning.
This was Jaren\'s way of professionally punishing those he had grudges against.
He would force them to spar with him and then mercilessly beat them up and at the end of the day, he wouldn\'t be in any trouble as it all happened in a friendly spar.
He was the first to charge in towards Luis with both of his hands totally covered with lightning.
He jumped up and was about to descend on the Angel with lightning fists when he quickly rolled out of the way.
\'I really wish I could use my ability right now.\' Luis thought.
\'Really?\' Luis replied as he equipped his flaming sword which was his disguise for a soul weapon.
He tries to slash Jaren with the sword while he had his back turned on him but before the sword could even get to him, the second-year student quickly turned and blasted him back with lightning from both of his hands.
"Awwww." Luis groaned as he crashed to the floor.
[ -15 HP ]
[ 105/120 HP ]
\'I was expecting that to take more.\'
Jaren didn\'t even give him the time to get up as he blasted with streams of lightning from both of his hands but they weren\'t able to hit Luis as he had quickly gotten out of there.
\'You can\'t hit him not while his lightning ability is active.\' Lena said.
\'So what are you suggesting?\' Luis asked.
\'His lightning points, drain them make sure you don\'t attack until you are sure his lightning points are all gone then this can be more of a fair fight.
\'Yeah, that\'s a good idea.\' Luis replied.
[ Anti-gravity boots equipped ]
[ Strength: 39(+2) ]
[ Stamina: 33(+2.5) ]
[ Agility: 36(+1.5) ]
The boots didn\'t do much in terms of improving his stats, especially his agility but he was going to need a little help if he was going to avoid Jaren\'s lightning attacks.
Jaren blasted him with more and more lightning streams as the Angel kept zooming out of the way just at the right times to prevent himself from getting hit.
"It\'s like he got slightly faster," Sonia said.
"Or maybe he was just holding back all along." Ace said.
Luis\' anti-gravity gravity boots looked just like his normal ones only that they had a few red stripes and that was why they had noticed nothing when he equipped them but someone had noticed them.
Jonah had looked at Luis\' boot before the fight began and then he couldn\'t find any stripes but looking at them now, they had tiny red stripes on their sides.
\'How did he change boots so fast?\' Was the confusing question he had in mind.
Jaren had gotten tired of using lightning streams and missing as he began to throw lightning bolts and given that lightning bolts had a more physical form compared to lightning streams, Luis was able to block most of them with his sword.
"I see what you\'re trying to do," Jaren said with a chuckle. "You can\'t drain my lightning points that easily, they are not as low as you think but I\'ll give you the chance to prove yourself in this fight."
He summoned his long sword and pointed it at Luis gesturing him to come at him.
\'This could be a trick, Luis.\' Lena said.
\'I know but I have a plan.\' Luis replied as he began to slowly approach him with his sword.
Jaren got tired of his slow approach at some point as he quickly rushed toward the Angel and tried to slash down on him as he used his sword to block his sword.
Luis thought he would be able to win a battle of strength against Jaren with the little strength boost he got from his sword and boots but that didn\'t seem to be the case as Jaren was pulling him down.
"You think I\'m one of those idiots that only depends on their abilities," Jaren said, pulling him down as he fell on one knee.
\'I didn\'t expect him to be this strong.\'
"I don\'t usually beat my opponents to see blood, I enjoy frying more but I think for you I can make an exception and enjoy both." He said with a wry smile on his face.
Luis knew what he was about to do as he quickly returned his flaming sword to his inventory, causing Jaren to lose balance as he quickly rolled and sent powerful kicks on his legs with both of his legs to knock him down.
He quickly equipped his sword and was about to point it at Jaren before he got blasted back by a powerful stream of lightning.
[ -30 HP ]
[ 75/120 HP ]
"That was more painful than the last one." Luis groaned as he slowly got up from the floor.
\'Losing more than fifteen HP will mean you have failed the quest.\' Lena said.
\'I know.\' Luis replied.
"Your friend has lasted quite a long time against Jaren for a first-year student," Jonah said, turning to Ace.
"Yeah, well not all first-year students are as weak as you guys think." Ace said.
"I am aware of that but are you in that category?" Jonah asked.
"What? Are you going to ask me to spar with you now?" Ace asked as he already had an idea of where this was heading.
"Only if you want to. I don\'t force people to spar with me." Jonah said, turning his gaze back to the fight.
It was back to the old dodging lightning attacks and Luis was beginning to get as frustrated as Jaren.
"This fight is never going to end if we keep fighting like this." The Angel said.
\'You\'ll risk getting hit and failing the quest if you try to get close to him.\'
\'I know but I\'ll also fail the quest if I continue like this, can\'t you see, he\'s also trying to drain me?\'
\'Well, then it\'s a good thing your energy doesn\'t get drained easily by things like this.\' Lena said.
[ 89/100 Energy ]
\'I know.\' Luis replied as he blocked a lightning stream with his sword before quickly returning it to his inventory. \'But I have to try something.
The Angel ran forward while avoiding Jaren\'s lightning streams and he was doing a good job until he had gotten closer to him for him to blast him with another stream of lightning.
[ -15 HP ]
That lightning could have knocked him back but the Angel used all his strength and willpower to keep himself standing as he ran through the lightning straight towards Jaren to slam his palms into his chest.
Hitting him back wasn\'t the main reason for that attack as he wanted to take something from him.
[ 20% of human life force consumed ]
[ +2 stat point added to strength ]
Jaren was sent flying backward and was about to hit the ground when Luis quickly zoomed toward him and sent his right knee up his lower jaw.
The second-year student dropped to the floor after that knee kick to the jaw and it didn\'t look like he was getting up soon.
Luis could finally catch his breath as what he had just done now had taken quite a lot out of him.
[ Quest complete ]
[ Rewards ]
"That was tough."
