Chapter 189: Rewards
Vritra could have continued with his attack, but he enjoyed the rain of sin points. After this, he would definitely be able to upgrade a skill or two. Even while fighting this legion rank, Vritra had the time to think about which skill to upgrade and how to get rid of the king.
"Oh! You are stronger than I thought. I am sorry for looking down on you. I guess this is the price of my mistake. Anyway, I won’t make the same mistake again. I will be going all out from now on," the ice guy spoke, his expression becoming solemn.
"Sure, though I will still look down on you—cough, I mean, let’s have a good fight." Daddy V almost came out, but Vritra held him back, continuing with Jin Woo.
The two remained silent for a few seconds before rushing forward. Number four’s body was soon completely covered by ice, but he didn’t notice the tiny cut that appeared over his shoulder. A drop of blood stuck to Vritra’s shoe.
With a fluid motion, he touched the drop of blood before barely managing to dodge the several ice spikes that rushed from different directions.
[Blood Lock Activated.]
Now, Vritra just needed to wait a bit until the ice guy got a bit weaker. Until then, he only needed to pretend to barely dodge and get a few cuts over his skin. He used Shift and sent most of his strength points into agility.
The ice guy was using all kinds of skills—he tried to trap Vritra, corner him, and whatnot, but Vritra was always one step ahead. Even though he got a few cuts here and there, he was barely managing to hold on. All the audience had gone quiet and were on the edge of their seats, feeling very anxious.
At several moments, it seemed Vritra was about to lose or get severely injured, but he always got out with small injuries. But in reality, Vritra didn’t receive any cut—otherwise, his purple blood would have been visible. It was all fake, as his clothes got covered in red blood taken from the corpses stored in his inventory.
The fight continued for over an hour, and the ice guy had started to notice that his body seemed slower and his overall battle prowess had also decreased—after all, the difference was over thirty percent.
