Creation System: Reborn As A Fantasy Worldsmith

Chapter 162 An Unexpected Move; The Dynamic Changes

?

Before Lyrian knew it, nearly everyone was in a heated battle against the Magma Dwellers. Many kids turned their backs to one another, feeling comfortable dealing with the beasts before switching their attention to each other later on, which they all knew was inevitable.

Right now, however, they all felt safe trusting each other. From the three major fights that happened throughout the tower top, Linc was the first one to defeat his opponent young bag. He stood on its corpse as he licked his purple needle, signifying his prowess among the students.

Nelmis was taking care of his young bag just fine, but Uis was actually struggling. He wasn't weak, but he was a spell user. A long-distance one at that.

Usually, his team would be helping him, fighting on the front lines as he cast powerful spells from the back, helping finish the fights quickly. Right now, however, his two teammates who were left from the entire battle of the tower, were also busy with their own fights with the Magma Dwellers.

Slowly, his opponent looked to catch him here and there with slight burns and scratches, as his footing became slower and slower. He cast countless spells, waving his wand around like a lunatic as he escaped on his back foot. What made his situation even worse was that he never got time to actually power up a spell to its maximum potential, with the young bag hot on his tail.

This was a given, however, since one shouldn't expect a beast or even a normal opponent to give him leeway. Hurriedly casting his spells and dashing backward to avoid the young back, Uis looked back to see where he was going for a split second, before stumbling into Linc, who didn't move even after seeing Uis.

Uis hadn't expected the boy to stay still, so he crashed into him and lost his balance, causing him to fall to the floor.

"What the hell's your problem!?"

The boy said, getting back up from the floor as some examinees noticed this. As the young bag closed in -- Uis having his back towards Linc -- he prepared to release a powerful spell.

Moments before the beast could get too close, he raised his wand into the air, swirling a powerful inferno within it -- but suddenly, the bright flame in his wand erased without a trace, as the boy suddenly felt something pierce through his chest.

Looking down, he was distraught to see a purple needle, going straight through his torso. Immediately, an excruciating pain assaulted his entire body, as the poison from Linc's needle coursed through Uis' blood, having stabbed him directly through the heart.

Before any more could occur, however, Uis was eliminated instantly. With this, Linc quickly dashed forward toward the incoming Magma Dweller, before puncturing it several times with his poisoned needles.

In seconds, the young bag became paralyzed and fell to the floor. The eyes of many became wide in shock as they realized what just happened. All the thoughts in their head became illogical for a split second, pure bewilderment filling their mind as they saw Uis being eliminated.

Even Nelmis, who had just finished off his opponent, witnessed Linc in the act of eliminating Uis. Without a second thought, a fury of rage swelled up within him in an instant.

"Why did you do it!? We should be focusing on our opponents right now!" 

He yelled with an enraged tone, as Linc stared at him with a smirk on his face.

"Right now... our opponents are subjective. Whoever I choose to kill is my opponent."

Hearing this, Nelmis had heard enough. He was already tired of the Deck group and their bull shit ways back at the center, and now they dared to try to ruin the examinee's chances at getting the golden core as well.

It was enough for him to cross over the line, no longer caring about the consequences of his actions. Without hesitation, Nelmis leaped toward Linc, swinging his axe in a furious tornado as he came down upon the boy.

The quick swirls seemed to speed up his momentum, as Linc was barely able to dodge the attack.

"Cheh..."

Linc laughed slightly.

"Pathetic... don't think you can defeat me just because you are a team leader."

He said, dashing backward as Nelmis' tornado body continued chasing after him. Suddenly, he stopped, slamming his axe into the ground, as he clashed his fists together.

"Boy!"

He said, his forearm muscles looking like they were going to pop any second.

"You do not know what I've been through! I know losers like you! Guess what? When faced with someone like me, you leeches always lose!"

Nelmis spoke with pride and seriousness, along with authority enhancing his speech.

Linc scoffed again at the boy, as Nelmis' fists began to glow in a raging golden fury, as though they were on fire. It was an aura of golden color, but was so intense that it reselmed a flame!

"Golden Fist Of The Dragon!" 

He yelled, his eyes also coated in the golden aura. Hearing the name of the skill, Lyrian was slightly caught off by it, feeling like he had heard it somewhere before.

'That's right... It was that Silong kid who wanted the crowned jewel from the Hydro Serpent... he also used the same skill. I didn't get to see him use it too much, since he was blasted away by my Shock Fist. He and Nelmis must be connected somehow.'

He figured, as Nelmis suddenly dashed forward at incredible speed, several amounts quicker than before. Linc's cheeky expression dwindled slightly, as he sensed a dangerous aura exuding from the boy in front of him.

It was like that time when he sensed a dangerous aura coming from Lyrian, right before he attacked Kedward and nearly finished him off. Linc had intervened, because he knew that Kedward wouldn't have stood a chance otherwise.

This situation wasn't fully the same as that one, but nonetheless, it wasn't something to simply shrug off. Using all of his strength, he tried to dash away to dodge the incoming attack. 

However, Nelmis appeared in front of him way too fast for him to fully move out of the way. Seeing how dodging was impossible, a concerned expression suddenly shadowed his face as he attempted to block the attack with his hands.

'What the hell!? This kid's a monster!' 

*WOOSH*

Nelmis's fist halted millimeters before hitting a bamboo shoot, sending a gust of air toward Linc which blew his hair back and caused a spine-tinging chill to go down his back.
