Chapter 172: B2: C72: Bearing Gifts 2
Zarian noted how Hannah was done with studying the Spatial Satchels now. She’d turned her attention to crafting on the fly by turning mundane earth and stone into enchanted objects made of numerous cubes.
She made spears. She made swords. She made axes of all kinds. Then she pushed herself to make near-instant cannons with a cannon ball already loaded that would get shot by layers of explosive enchantments.
She worked on perfecting her designs to the most miniscule detail. It was nearly impossible for anyone without powerful perception abilities to tell that everything came from tiny, tiny cubes. She used enchantments to smooth over the issues with that so her blades would come out super sharp and her cannons could shoot smoothly.
She practiced hard while defending against Zarian and Para’s divergent uses of Aura Mastery. But it didn’t seem to matter much when Hannah faced off against Naomi, who was Hannah’s main sparring partner.
Naomi was Hannah’s biggest weakness outside of facing Zarian. Naomi’s Mind Spike +2 scrambled Hannah’s focus before she could create something, and because Hannah had to move offensively to make use of her major body-enhancing skill, she had to run straight into the punches and kicks from the Rumble Psion while still trying to craft and enchant on the fly.
It almost seemed like Naomi was the hardest on Hannah, which even made Bianca and Gilbert uncomfortable. The two sat on the rune cart, trying to recover from their beat down of each other while enduring Zarian and Para’s divergent auras bearing down on them.
“Whoa, whoa, Naomi. This is going too far!” Gilbert shouted.
“Hannah, are you okay?” Bianca asked.
Naomi waited while standing over the crater she had body-slammed Hannah into. The tough-as-hell Rumble Psion said nothing, ignoring the healer and princess.
