Close Combat Mage

Chapter 402 - Deal With However You Please Pt.1

Rip… The sound of Xiang Yun ripping off his shirt broke the silence. The next moment…his bare, powerful, muscular upper half was exposed in front of everyone.

“Ah!” Nicole couldn’t help but cry out in shock and embarrassment before rushing out the door.

Xiang Yun stood there blankly for a moment before awkwardly scratching his head. He had actually forgotten that Nicole was there!

Meanwhile, Roger and Suo Jia were both carefully examining Xiang Yun’s body. After a while, Roger stuttered… “Um…Xiang Yun…although your body is great, I’m sure that Boss likes females. His interest in you…is probably…uh…not very much!”

“Beat it!” Xiang Yun yelled in exasperation before dryly chuckling and turning to say to Suo Jia, “Boss, do you see what is tattooed on my body?”

“Mhm…” Suo Jia nodded and asked in confusion, “What is that? A magical beast? It looks very strange, yet also mysterious, and the feeling it gives off is holy, yet terrifying.”

Xiang Yun shook his head in response to Suo Jia’s question. “No, this isn’t a magical beast. This is a totem from our race. According to our legends, this is the spirit that controls all waters: a Dragon!”“Dragon?” Suo Jia studied the markings on Xiang Yun’s body in doubt before turning to look at his own Frost Wyrm and said with furrowed brows, “I don’t understand. How could this thing that looks like a giant snake be a dragon? It looks nothing like the Frost Wyrm!”Xiang Yun clicked his tongue in disdain. “Although it is a dragon, it is entirely different. Our dragons are divine dragons, holy spirits. On the other hand, your dragons are really just terrifying magical beasts. In our records, the Divine Dragon is an existence on the same level as your Sea God Poseidon!”“That’s…” Suo Jia knit his brows together in deep contemplation. He could not wrap his head around such a thing being a god!Seeing Suo Jia’s expression, Xiang Yun continued, “In our country, the Divine Dragon is the controller of the seas, responsible for rain, and manages the water spirits. Its might is so great that it cannot be compared to the dragons of your world.”Suo Jia nodded in half-understanding before saying, “Alright, I think…I’m afraid I don’t have much knowledge of your dragon. But what I want to know now is, what does this so-called dragon have to do with what you wanted to pass onto me?”Xiang Yun gave a mysterious smile. Instead of directly answering Suo Jia’s question, he instead said, “Don’t mind that at the moment. Right now…I need you to immediately sculpt your ice stream to an appearance identical to that of this Divine Dragon on my body!”“Alright…” Suo Jia happily agreed. Although he didn’t know what Xiang Yun wanted to do, Suo Jia believed in him. From the time they had first known each other up until now, Xiang Yun had never disappointed everyone.Despite Suo Jia’s insane magic power, spirit power, and manipulation ability, sculpting out this Divine Dragon was still extremely difficult. After all…this Divine Dragon was just too complicated. It had horns, a mouth, fangs, legs…and more than ten thousand scales. Completing this Divine Dragon was a massive engineering project that a typical person wouldn’t even be able to imagine. With Suo Jia’s current strength, he could just barely do it.Finally, after spending over half an hour, an arm-thick, pocket-sized Divine Dragon appeared before Suo Jia. The entire ice dragon was transparent, with a sapphire-blue color. It was extremely cold, and emitted a chilling air that seemed to condense into a freezing mist enshrouding Suo Jia. The entire sparking and translucent ice dragon faintly spun around within the white fog.Xiang Yun sighed in admiration at the ice dragon and nodded. “Alright, I think…I can give you an explanation now. But before that, place your Divine Dragon horizontally on the table first.”In response to Xiang Yun’s words, Suo Jia waved his left hand so that the arm-thick, nine-meter long Divine Dragon circled and landed on the large, round table with its many talons.Xiang Yun slowly walked up to the Divine Dragon and sighed regretfully. “In our country, a weapon that was known as the cruelest, most malicious, sinister, and ruthless appeared. Its name was: Raised Amethyst Dragon Whip!”As he said this, Xiang Yun suddenly extended his hand to stroke the complicated horns of unusual design and said, “These dragon horns could lock onto the enemy’s flexible weapons so that they could not attack!”Xiang Yun pointed at the Divine Dragon’s mouth and continued, “As for the dragon’s mouth, it can open and close to bite down on the enemy’s weapons. The benefits of that naturally don’t need to be explained.”Xiang Yun moved his right hand towards the Divine Dragon’s snout. “The Divine Dragon’s nostrils could shoot out ox-hair thin needles, specifically designed to pierce through various shields!”Xiang Yun then turned to look at Suo Jia and reminded, “Doesn’t Boss have a pair of Divine Needles? You can use both the Battle Forbidding and the Magic Forbidding Divine Needles through the Divine Dragon’s nostrils to break battle qi shield and magic barriers. At close quarters, there would be no defense that you couldn’t break through!”Upon hearing this, Suo Jia’s eyes brightened. Meanwhile, Xiang Yun continued, “In addition, there’s a tongue within the dragon’s mouth. When the tongue shoots out, not only can it strike a person’s pressure points, it can more importantly transform into the shape of an ice sword, increasing the ice stream’s cutting and piercing abilities!”

Xiang Yun then gestured at the Divine Dragon’s eyes. “This pair of eyes could originally shoot out dazzling violet rays to temporarily blind the enemy and even bewitch them. However, Boss evidently does not have an ability of such kind right now, so you just have to remember its use.”Xiang Yun paused before patting the Divine Dragon’s skull. “Moreover, the Divine Dragon’s head is much thicker than the rest of its body. It can be used as a whip hammer. When it comes to smashing ships, this can down them one after another, and is extremely useful.”“But…” Suo Jia frowned at this and asked, “If that is the case, then wouldn’t the ice stream’s whip lose its whip-like characteristics once it becomes a whip hammer?”Xiang Yun shook his head with a slight smile as he patted the dragon’s tail. “In our country, there’s a style of martial arts called Divine Dragon’s Tail Swing. In reality, while it becomes a whip hammer, it doesn’t lose its whip characteristics. The only thing is…the whip’s characteristics originate from the dragon’s tail!”Suo Jia instantly understood. He pointed at the dragon’s five talons and asked, “But what are those five talons for? They don’t seem very useful!”Xiang Yun gave a wry smile as he shook his head and helplessly answered, “How could they not be useful? Not only are the talons used to seize at the enemy’s weapons, these five talons can most importantly grab at the enemy’s throat, arms, and legs simultaneously from their different positions when the Divine Dragon binds the enemy. This makes it completely impossible for the opponent to fight back!”“Wow!” Suo Jia cried out in astonishment upon hearing Xiang Yun’s words.Xiang Yun proudly looked at Suo Jia. “That’s not all. In the past, killing someone with the ice stream required it to wrap around them tightly. But with these extremely sharp and durable claws, you can just slice their necks. It’s an absolute merciless method that definitely saves a lot of effort! After all…the composition of these claws is scientific based, and can at minimum double the amount of strength you use!”“Mhm, yes, yes…” Suo Jia trembled as he agreed in amazement. “This is really too terrifying. How could such a frightening weapon exist in this world?”“Hehe…” Xiang Yun proudly lifted his head and continued, “I’m still not done. Look closely at the scales on its body, they can all be positioned upright at a certain angle. Once the scales are stuck out, the ice stream whip becomes a spiked whip. A single lash would definitely tear through and destroy the flesh!”“That is…” Suo Jia was now violently shaking, as the Divine Dragon’s Whip was so horrifying that it was beyond his comprehension.Xiang Yun looked at Suo Jia’s shaking form and pointed at the scales again. “Moreover, the most devastating move this ice stream whip has is based on these scales. The world’s most terrifying and powerful concealed weapon that can completely kill anything is from this place!”As if in a dream, Xiang Yun stroked the scales and said while shivering, “These scales can not only become spikes, but once upright, can shoot out like a concealed weapon, giving an illusion-like effect!”Xiang Yun’s face morphed into a scary expression as he continued, “When these thousands of scales fly and shoot outwards, they reflect the sunlight to radiate in the illusory seven colors of the rainbow. It’s the most beautiful sight, and no person could ever not lose their focus from this. And the instant they do, those gorgeous scales will reap their souls. This is the Divine Dragon Whip’s most powerful move!”

As Xiang Yun finished speaking, the entire room fell silent. Suo Jia blankly stared at the ice stream whip lying on the table as his entire body continued to shake uncontrollably. Too frightening, really too frightening. Suo Jia knew that after possessing this Divine Dragon Whip, his combat abilities would be increased several fold. Even opponents many times stronger than him would result in Suo Jia’s victory. From this moment onwards, differences in ranks were no longer deciding elements of success in battle!
