The air in the arena became unusually heavy, and everyone's eyes were focused on the two players in the center of the field. Ian's eyes were calm and focused, revealing a hint of a calm and confident aura.
His opponent Jamison, on the other hand, was dressed in a black gentleman's gown, with an elegant appearance and handsome face, holding a delicate longsword, the blade of which glittered with a cold luster under the sunlight. He politely bowed slightly to Ian, "I hope you can bring me an interesting fight, don't let me down."
Ian nodded lightly, his eyes responding calmly, "Then you'd better be ready to give it your all." Ian was unconcerned on the surface, but inwardly he was on the defensive against his opponent, yesterday's fighting process of Jamison was still still remembered in his mind: Jamison didn't even reveal his ability, and only relied on his fighting skills to kill his opponent, his agile hands didn't even look like what an Altered of this level should have.
Reno stood at the edge of the field, raised his hand and announced in a loud voice: "Begin!"
Before the words fell, Jamison quickly attacked, his pace was light and elegant but exceptionally swift, the long sword in his hand stabbed Ian's chest like lightning, the sword shadow was like the wind.
Ian's eyes stared, his body slightly shifted sideways, narrowly avoiding this strike, and then fiercely reached out and grabbed Jamison's wrist. Jamison's reaction was equally agile, his wrist flicked, and his long sword immediately changed from a stab to a sweep, the sharp blade of the sword went straight for Ian's waist.
Ian quickly swung the long knife to block Jamison's attack, the knife endurance flip, from the bottom to the front of Jamison chopped, Jamison sidestepped to avoid, Ian missed, the hand of the long knife quickly downward slash, Jamison can not avoid lifting the long sword to resist, Ian horror of the power outbreak, suppressing Jamison backward, you can see, Ian in the strength of the dominant.
Just when the two were in a stalemate, Ian suddenly short, quickly side step close to the use of the pace change at the same time the arm swung out a harsh palm knife, accurately cut to Jamieson holding the sword's right arm.
Jamison looked slightly shocked, quickly retreated half a step, skillfully avoided Ian's attack, and then quickly turned his body back, an elegant but powerful spinning back to force Ian also had to retreat.
Both of them charged forward at the same time, and started fighting again, both of them moved swiftly, each other's advance and retreat, and the field erupted with intensive impact sounds between the light of swords and shadows.
The senior members of the Brotherhood who were watching the battle discussed in low voices, "Both of these young men's fighting skills are extremely outstanding, their pace and attacks are perfectly articulated, marvelous!"
Reno nodded his head slightly, "Indeed extraordinary, but Jamison seems to be slightly overstretched."
In the middle of the field, the two once again separated briefly, each adjusting their breathing. Jamison said with a smile on his face, slightly contemptuous, "Ian, your movements are beautiful, it's just a pity that they're not enough for me."
Ian calmly stared back at him and lightly responded, "Bluffing will only make you look even more vain, it's better to show your true strength."
Jamison's eyes changed slightly, and his smile became a bit icy, "Then you'll take it." The words just fell, once again rushed towards Ian, his speed was twice as fast as before, Ian raised his long sword to block , suddenly felt his body become heavy, Ian was shocked in his heart, panicked and wanted to side-step to avoid it, but he was still a beat too slow, and was stabbed in the shoulder by Jamieson's long sword.
Ian quickly adjusted his body, feeling the changes in his body, and suddenly realized, "Your ability is to control gravity!" "That's right, the gravity that your body is subjected to has doubled, while my own gravity has doubled in size, you will never be as fast as me. You might as well admit defeat. "Jamison arrogantly laughed as if he already thought he was going to win.
At this moment, Ian also understood why he didn't see Jamison's supernatural ability in yesterday's battle, Jamison's ability could only be felt by those who fought against him, those who watched the battle outside the arena couldn't feel it, they would only feel that his movements were unusually agile.
Ian quickly had a countermeasure, the Shadow of Concealment was quickly activated, the whole person disappeared in the field, Ian wanted to rely on the concealment of the Shadow of Concealment, so that Jamison would lose the target of his attack, however, this time it was out of his expectation, Jamison accurately found his bearing, the corner of his mouth raised in a contemptuous arc: "Childish, concealment has no effect on the gravitational field! "
Jamison sneered, "It looks like your so-called abilities are nothing more than that, Ian, you disappoint me too much! Now you go to hell!" After saying that Jamison stabbed violently in Ian's direction, Ian was affected by the gravity, all he could do was to raise his long sword in his hand with great difficulty to block it, he could not counterattack at all.
With a sound of metal clashing, Ian was sent flying out, falling heavily to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, Ian got up with difficulty, he found that the gravity that had been applied to his body seemed to have disappeared, Ian instantly understood that Jamison's gravity control was only effective around himself, in other words, it could only be effective in melee combat.
Thinking of this, Ian had an idea, once again unleashed the Shadow of Concealment, maintaining a distance from Jamison, so that Jamison could not find his position, a trace of panic flashed in Jamison's eyes, he was also clear about the weakness of his ability, he just didn't expect Ian to be able to block his own sure-fire strike, and leave the range of his gravity control.
Ian kept wandering in the field and issued a taunt to Jamison, ''What, that's nothing you can do to me? Turns out your ability is nothing more than that. " returning the words Jamison had just taunted him with.
Jamison growled angrily, "What's the point of just hiding! Come out and fight me head on! "
Instead of being enraged, Ian kept making mocking remarks, "People like you just put on a convincing face, but in reality, as long as someone discovers a weakness, you're more scared than anyone else. "
"Do you dare to close your gravity field, as long as you close it, I will immediately appear behind you to stab through your heart. " "How long do you have enough energy to last? "
"You don't have a chance anymore, hurry up and admit defeat. " "How pathetic, it was so hard to get to this point, but you met me, you're so unlucky."
During this time Jamison also tried to find Ian's location through the sound, but whenever he rushed towards the sound, Ian had already appeared in the distance and continued to taunt him, Jamison quickly lost his mind, "Bastard! You vile little man! You shut the fuck up! I'll kill you!"
Jamison turned up his abilities to the max, his speed increased again and he began to attack indiscriminately around him, the energy in his body was rapidly depleting, Ian sensed his opponent's emotional outburst and quickly turned on his insect sensory enhancements, everything around him slowed down as he waited for an opportune moment.
Soon the opportunity came, Jamison's energy and stamina have been on the verge of the limit, breath and its disorder, the surrounding gravity field is also difficult to maintain, Ian seized this moment, violent force rushed into the gravity field, quickly close to Jamison.
Jamison sensed Ian's proximity, but his own body was already incapable of responding, and the light of the knife cut through a cold arc, slicing Jamison's throat, Jamison incredulously opened his eyes wide, looked at Ian with a pale face, and said with great difficulty, "You ... you even ..."
Ian calmly stared into his eyes, his voice cold, "It is you who exposed your weakness to me, you can only blame yourself for this defeat." Jamison collapsed helplessly to the ground, his life rapidly draining away.
Ian also breathed a sigh of relief, this was a bit of a tough win, if Jamison didn't reveal his weaknesses again, his Shadow of Concealment wouldn't be able to maintain.
Reno then loudly announced, "Winner, Ian!"
The audience outside the arena erupted in applause and cheers.
The Brotherhood executives said to Reno, "This Ian, to be able to remain calm in such a powerful gravity field and also skillfully utilize psychological tactics to crush his opponent, is truly a rare talent!"
Reno nodded his head in admiration, "That's right, this ability to improvise in the face of a strong enemy, as well as outstanding battle wisdom, are all qualities that our Brotherhood of Steel is extremely in need of."
As Ian slowly left the field, a system alert sounded in his head: [Looting Successful: Gained the ability "Gravity Control" (can manipulate gravity within a certain range)].
