Second World



Long unleashed his ancient martial art while Jack was down, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. If this martial art was already so potent when Long executed it in his normal form, it was now even more powerful in his dragon form.

Jack crossed both his arm in front of him. At the same time, his scales turned golden.

The eighteen palms came crashing down followed by the images of eastern dragons. Each impact caused a small earthquake. Cracks continued to spread on the ground where Jack was laying. Jack was unable to rise due to being pinned by consecutive hits. Dust clouds rose to the air from the cracked ground.

Long floated above the dust cloud. His dragon form appearance was slightly different from Jack's. He had less oversized scales that served as some sort of plate armor. His beast form was the enhanced dragon form. It was inferior to Jack's supreme dragon form but superior to a standard dragon form.

Long didn't stop his assault. He fired Ki Bullet by pinpointing Jack's position using mana sense. He then followed up by using Ki Blast. When he wanted to continue the assault by using his dragon form's breath attack, Jack's presence disappeared.

"Mana concealment?" Long made a guess.

Not long after, Jack's presence was felt again. But at the same time, three Jacks dashed out of the dust cloud going in different directions.

Long didn't sense any mana from those Jacks, though. He knew they were only illusions. He locked into the presence inside the dust cloud which he had felt again and released his breath attack. His enhanced dragon form's breath attack was the same as the normal dragon form, flame breath, which dealt fire element damage.

A mana beam shot out from the dust cloud as the flame breath was unleashed. The two beams collided halfway and caused an explosive shockwave.

Jack's presence vanished again from inside the dust cloud and Long sensed Jack was now behind him. Long made a quick swing kick which was parried by Jack who had teleported behind.

Jack was still covered by the Gold Scale Armor. The armor had greatly reduced the damage he received from Long's previous attacks. Peniel had also used Fast Heal on him when he was inside the dust cloud.

The two exchanged quick martial art moves in the air. After a few exchanges, the two flew back, distancing themselves from one another.

Jack asked Long during the reprieve, "You have two classes?"

Long simply snickered at the question.

It was a rhetorical question considering that Long had shown three standard skills outside of his class. Beast Form, Tame Pet, and Master Tamer. If it was only one skill, Jack could attribute it to the universal technique book. But Long had been able to summon a medium-sized pet, the Sky Wyrm. The only reason for that was that Long also had Tame Pet and Master Tamer skills.

That sky wyrm was currently joining Abasi and Delgado in fighting Therras. Like Jack and Master, Long was able to fight a mythical-grade monster of a similar level. Abasi, however, was not. So, Long had the sky wyrm go join the fight with Therras.

"Why did Master let someone under him use the Second Soul Remnant? I thought he wants those things all for himself?" Jack asked a different question.

"He had no choice. I've already used it when I first met him," Long answered with a chuckle.

"And he just let you join his gang after you take his precious thing?" Jack asked again.

"So many useless questions. Are you trying to stall?" Long asked. His query was using a mocking tone. But when he saw Jack's smile, he realized then that Jack was indeed stalling.

Long turned to look at the three copies that had previously come out of the dust cloud. One had jumped down the cliff, one headed to Spring Crown, and the last one went to Therras. He then sensed the Jack in front of him become devoid of mana. The one in front of him had turned into an illusion.

'It's the body double spell!' Long thought. He had read the report of Jack possessing this spell. This meant that Jack had changed places with one of his copies, but which one? All three were out of his mana sense range. Was Jack going for Spring Crown? Or he wanted to aid his pet? Or he changed places with the one that jumped down the cliff, intending to flee?

Therras and Spring Crown were in opposite directions from Long. Long could only observe using his eyes. If the two copies in that direction didn't do anything, it meant Jack had used the copy that jumped down the cliff to flee.

The one Jack had changed places with was the one headed to Spring Crown. Jack had no intention of escaping. Even if he wanted very much to join the main battle with his army, taking out a heavenly enforcer should also be a blow to the enemy.

Spring Crown, his spirit weapon, and his companion, Uiqey, were still fighting against Jack's spirit weapon. Jack's spirit weapon could not compete against the combined three. It failed to deal any significant damage to the enemies while its HP dropped to below half.

Before Jack changed places with his copy, he purposefully ran through his spirit weapon to show that this copy was only a mirage. He was hoping that Spring Crown would treat his copy as air after seeing the fact. But the second he changed places with the copy, Spring Crown turned his spear toward Jack.

Jack narrowly parried the attack. He was the one who was almost caught by surprise.

"Do you think you can trick my eyes?" Spring Crown asked.

"No, but I can beat you with brute force," Jack talked back.

At that time, Spring Crown noticed the spirit weapon near them break apart. It was beginning its finishing mode.

"Back!" Spring Crown ordered.

Uiqey followed the command, but Spring Crown himself was unable to. Jack forcefully grabbed Spring Crown's body to keep him within the explosion's range.

Spring Crown freed himself from the grab using Flash Slash. But flash slash had a limited range, he wasn't able to trick Jack's mana sense. Jack had expected this move. Jack sent a spinning back kick right where Spring Crown reappeared. The force of the kick sent Spring Crown even closer to the blast radius.

Spring Crown used Energy Weapon, which sacrificed his spirit weapon into a high-damage attack, in an attempt to break away from Jack.

Jack activated Lightning God Suit while lunging at Spring Crown. He ignored the energy weapon as it smashed into him. He had two powerful defensive skills protecting him, the energy weapon didn't cause much damage. His forceful advance put Spring Crown in melee range again.

The electricity from the Lightning God Suit assaulted Spring Crown since he was too close. The electricity had the chance to cause Paralyze effect.

In between the Paralyze effect and Jack's overwhelming strength, even Spring Crown's uncanny reading ability couldn't help him to escape. Both he and Jack were consumed by the explosion from the spirit weapon's finishing mode.
