Chapter 161 He is making a move
{Student Lionheart return to the class ship now}
A glaring message from Professor Adolfo welcomed me as soon as I returned from the space rift. Curious why, I dial his communication code to call him.
{.....Yes?}
"It's me where are you?"
{Below, I am on one of the falling pirate ships}
"What! How did you end up there!"
{I accidentally sliced the ship's engine causing it to fall}
"Then why are you still there?!"
{I can't fly like you}
"Then why are you telling me to go back when you actually needed help!"
{It is okay my body can handle the impact and getting you to safety should be the top priority}
"If that was the case then you shouldn't have dragged me here in the first place!" I almost said however I immediately composed myself and instead said "I'll go there now, wait for me"
{No returned to the ship}
"That's too late to say now"
Lightning course through my body boosting my speed to its maximum.
"Jeremiah where is he"
[Turn left and look for a gray ship that is falling with only half of it remains, he should be there]
"Okay"
I zoomed in leaving a trail of white light and arriving right beside my professor.
"You are one naughty student" he said while his eyes didn't leave a certain someone.
"Let's go" I only said however I could tell that the battle he had for this man hadn't ended yet.
[Something is off with him]
"Yeah I can tell as well"
I felt a sudden discomfort coming here as if something was squeezing my neck, clenching it tightly, taking my breath away. A pressure that even I felt it threatening, this man in front of us was no laughing matter.
"This is why I told you to return"
My professor told me though his eyes remain still, focused on this unknown enemy.
"So who the hell is this guy?"
"One of Barbaros' seven wings, Aragos"
"Seven wings?"
"I'll tell you about them later, for now, you need to teleport back to the ship"
Despite the falling debris of the falling flying vessel, the stare-down between my professor and this pirate didn't end, and the pressure was still there pinning me in my position.
"Go" I heard Professor Adolfo say however I couldn't move my body due to a certain mysterious force.
[According to the system's data and my analysis this thing you feel, this pressure is what you call a saber intent]
"Jeremiah equipped me with the system's gears"
[Affirmative!]
My eyes grew clearer and every fiber that composed our enemy's body became clear to me.
"Apollo what are you waiting for!"
"Professor"
"Yes"
"I can't move"
I told him and I wasn't really lying when I said it. I really can't move though I think the system can break it if I order it to.
[Creator he is on the move!]
I saw a glaring notification along with red markings in my vision. Arrows emerge predicting my opponent's movements while my hand glow replacing the mithril staff with a sword. I raised my blade breaking all the restrictions that began to bind me while the ki inside my body started circulating.
The skill Master Weaponist took over and the system-created sword art guided my ki to supply my body with strength.
"CLANG!"
The sound of metal clashing together hits my ears and before I knew it was already flying away.
"What just happened"
Confused I tried to manoeuvre my body to prevent me from hitting the remaining part of the ship, but before I could even move a silhouette appeared above me. It was the same pirate we were fighting. He wore a black coat which seemed to be made with hard skin from a high-ranking magical beast, while his tan skin and amber eyes glared at me as his blade came down towards me.
I can see where his saber is going, it's aim was my head. However, despite the situation, I wasn't really nervous.
"Death man's call..." I heard a voice speak causing my lips to form a smile.
"Thunder aura" I began to chant, and as soon as the pirate Aragos moved his saber to stab my head, the sword turned into a staff and lightning was produced.
"Lightning Bind," I said fully visualizing the spell I just cast, and from the staff, bolts of lightning came out binding the Aragos, seizing his movements and halting his saber's advance. I succeeded in immobilizing him though I wasn't able to stop my body from crashing into the ship's remaining parts.
"Argh!" cried the pirate while the mass of electricity coursed through his body. However, him being paralyzed didn't last for long, because his immense ki was able to push back the electricity that was wreaking havoc inside his body.
"Damn you!" he shouted while dashing towards the place where I crash however I was nowhere to be found. After all, I was only a mere distraction. The main character is about to come.
"Death man's call, Seven pitting hells"
Professor Adolfo appeared from the shadows and his blade was somehow flaming with red bloody flame.
"Is that killing intent?"
[Yes he coated it into his blade and through his will it turned into a flame]
I was dumbfounded and never knew killing intent could be used like that. Perhaps other types of intent can be used in different ways other than a mere distraction.
While my thoughts run wild a loud bang almost sends me straight to the upper atmosphere. As I looked down the falling ship I saw Aragos blocking the professor's blade.
"This is one troublesome opponent"
I don't think my normal spells could properly work on him since he can just tank them head-on. Although I have other higher-level spells in my arsenal it will be too powerful to use. Revealing too much power may cause suspicion.
But there is still something I can do.
"Jeremiah hide me"
[Affirmative]
My existence completely disappeared from their sense causing my professor to think I already teleported away, however, it wasn't really the case. I stayed remaining flying along their falling ship.
"Open the inventory, Jeremiah"
[On it]
Then on my hand, a familiar weapon graced my fingers.
It was a silver rifle one that I used during the hunting festival.
"I did some modification on this, hope this helps"
I loaded the bullet inside and with a slight push on the trigger a silent killer made its way towards its targets.
"Hmm?.."
I saw him get distracted for a moment when he felt something was coming, then he waved his saber to his right slicing the bullet in half.
[That didn't go as planned]
"Just watch, didn't I say I modified it"
The bullet's fragments scattered away affecting the nearby mana. As Aragos inhales it a sudden paralytic effect invades his body.
"Argh!!"
Due to the sudden numbness, he failed to put up his guard and my professor's blade finally broke through his defence. The blackened sword blazing with a flaming killing intent tore through the pirate's body killing him in the process.
"Straight right in the heart"
[He was really aiming to finish this fight]
"Yeah because we are about to crash!"
I dive deep into the falling ship and immediately take my lunatic professor.
"Apollo?"
"Yes sir?"
"Haven't I told you to return"
"I wanted to see you fight so I stayed for a bit"
"That's nonsense"
"So tell me why send me away?"
"Because it's dangerous"
"If that is your reason then why did you bring me in the first place"
This time he didn't answer so I spoke instead.
"Be honest why are you sending me away a while ago, did you discover something?"
He kept silent while we glided through the air. As I went higher into the sky I realised the battle had ended with all the remaining pirates caught or killed by the security.
"And here I thought I could squeeze more start points from them"
[It's not good to be greedy Creator]
"I am not"
"Apollo"
"Yes professor"
"About what you are asking me I'll tell you once we at back on our ship"
"Ah, sure"
So I zoom in creating a path of light, making my teacher shocked at how fast I can get.
"You okay professor?"
"Yes," he only said while I flew excitedly towards our class ship.
As we got closer I saw my classmate already on the deck.
"Heya people!"
I said gently putting down Professor Adolfo.
"How did it go?" Alicia immediately asked as my spell thunder aura disappeared.
"It went well, the security took care of everything"
While I was talking about how the fight went with my friends I suddenly heard Professor Adolfo's words. It seems he is no longer dizzy.
"Apollo"
"Yes prof"
"Come here"
I obediently complied and went towards him, curious about what reason he would give.
"What is it, prof"
I smiled trying to act mischievous however the moment I saw his face I became nervous. He was serious without any trace of his devilish smile.
"Listen he is making his move" he told me in a very low tone of voice.
"Who professor?"
"Your brother.."
"What?"
"Your brother Eros Lionheart, he is making a move against you"
