Chapter 220 Carter's Power
Seeing one of the hands coming towards her, Stella tries to grab it, but another hand lands on her from above, causing numerous cracks to appear on the ground.
Bang! Bang!
Thud! Thud!
Bang!
Several hands start hitting Stella all over her body. Since her sword can\'t help her in this situation, she has long thrown it away, using only her hands to deflect the attack from the statue.
BOOM!! CLANG! CHAING!! CHING!
Several metallic sounds can be heard as Stella is sent flying into the armory.
SCREEECCCCHH!!!
Her boots let out screeching sounds as she tries to get her balance with both of her feet, thereby creating a frictional force on the ground.
Gritting her teeth while trying to maintain her ground, Stella\'s skidding momentum comes to an absolute halt. Raising her head, she sees Carter sitting down in a lotus position with the Buddha statue behind him. (His eyes are wide open.)
This scene is quite alien and surprising to Stella because she never believed an ability like this existed. All the wielder of this ability had to do was sit down and concentrate.
There\'s not much damage done to Stella, only a small bruise can be seen on her cheek. Even this small bruise makes her furious. As for her armor, there\'s just a little dent on it here and there, but no worries, it also has a self-repairing skill just like Carter\'s. Due to the advancement in the forging industry, most beast gears now have the skill to repair themselves after receiving quite some damage but that is only to a certain extent. Moreover, the grade of the beast gear also matters.
\'Dammit! This idiot wounded me, only my master is allowed to do so.\' Stella thinks inwardly while rubbing where she was bruised.
\'This ability is unique but the trick to it is the agility of those hands. All I have to do is to avoid those hands, but how? There\'s no way I can move faster than those hands.\' Stella starts thinking of many ways to bypass Carter\'s defense. Seeing the nasty grin on his face makes her more irritated.
\'I think there\'s only one way. E-Even though my full draugh form is incomplete, it makes me much stronger than an average draugh.\' Stella thinks again and in the next moment, her tail starts elongating, growing into a very long spiked and bladed tail. Her horns start growing bigger while her body also begins to grow larger.
Once she is done, there isn\'t a lot of difference compared to her normal self, the only difference is her larger horns, bigger body, and a very long tail that is wagging from behind.
"Carter, not bad for a drop of blood. But, sorry, I guess I\'ll have to break you." Stella says with pride again, even in this situation, making Carter more furious.
Suddenly, Stella crouches down and the muscles in her legs and thighs start bulging and expanding.
WOOOOSHH!!
In a flash, the sound of a strong breeze explodes as Stella leaps into the air and starts flying towards Carter. To be able to beat Carter, Stella needs to outmatch him in terms of agility. But that seems to be impossible as many hands keep coming her way, and these hands are incredibly fast.
PAH! PAH! PAH! PAH!
BOOM!!!!!!!!
A loud sound explodes as the hands crash into Stella, sending her flying and causing her to eat the dust around the room.
Just like before, there\'s not a single scratch on Stella apart from the bruise on her cheek from earlier. Even the bruise can hardly be spotted right now, as if it has been healed. For some reason, Stella is avoiding getting wounded at all costs.
Pants. Pants. Pants. Pants.
Stella can be heard breathing very hard as she tries to catch her breath.
This time around, the damage her armor took is a lot more than before and it can be seen slowly repairing itself. Yeah, it\'s kinda surprising that these beast gears are getting damaged pretty easily, but that isn\'t the case. Since beast gears were so heavy in the past, forgers tried to make them more light on the body, sacrificing the quality in return. However, this is where the self-repairing skill kicks in for this major flaw.
\'I hate to use this stuff, but I guess I have no choice.\' Stella thinks inwardly as she gets up and activates the beast gears on her body.
Although she didn\'t activate any of its skills, she only made use of its passive stats which would boost her prowess.
Gathering enough energy in her legs, Stella leaps into the air again. However, Carter starts doing something unexpected. All the hands of the Buddha start moving symmetrically in the air at a speed that her eyes can barely follow.
Seeing this, Stella starts flying in a zig-zag manner towards Carter, but the hand keeps intercepting her.
BOOM!!!
Again, Stella is sent flying, but this time she quickly regains her momentum, standing many meters away from Carter and his statue.
"You see…. You are much weaker than me, girly. You made a fool out of me earlier, tch…tch." Carter says with a smile, shaking his head.
"Fufufu, I admit that your ability is quite impressive, but that doesn\'t change the fact that you\'re pathetic." Stella oozes arrogance once again, making veins pop out of Carter\'s head.
"You arrogant bitch!!!!" Carter roars at the top of his lungs.
\'Fufu, this is what I need; distraction. Winning means everything to me, even though I have to acquire it shamelessly.\' Stella lets out mischievous giggles and dashes towards the enraged Carter.
