Chapter 181: Enslaving the King of Desert (a)
Just when they thought that Butler Azan would be devoured by the Eighteen-legged centipede, they heard a calm voice ringing in the environment and the aggravated shrieks of the beast. Jin and Fiorin quickly opened their eyes to take a look and they saw that the incomparably powerful and mighty King of Sand was stopped in midair and what is stopping it is the sword of the black-haired boy who they thought to be just a talisman expert.
To block a beast ten times bigger than himself with just a sword... this is only possible for B+ ranked awakened!
"Wow! He is the same age as me but so powerful. Are outsiders all monster like him?" Jin couldn't help but be amazed by the youth with peculiar handsome features. He seemed to be the same age as them but he's dozens of times stronger than them.
Fiorin is also surprised that the seemingly weak figure of the young boy seems to uphold the heaven; However, she's more concerned for butler Azan. Hence, she shout his name, "Uncle Azan". Then she stood up and runs towards them.
"Young miss, don't come near. It's dangerous here." Azan warns but it's all in vain as she continues anyway.
"Impossible... How can a mere child block me! Kuah!" The beast said in its language but Whittaker was able to understand it due to Advance Guide translating its beast language words into a language he understands.
The King of Sand is also in a state of disbelief. Its meaty eyeballs almost popped out from their sockets when it was petrified on the spot by the sword. Heck, it couldn't even feel its body. That's why it still hasn't used its tentacles to slap the fuck out of then.
King of Sand could still feel and it managed to sense Whittaker's strength. According to its accurate senses, the boy was a mere E-ranker, a weakling!
How could Whittaker possibly stop a D-rank beast with his E-rank strength and also petrify it with just a sword? Well, it was all possible because of the use of talismans.
In order to achieve such a feat, he used 4 strength boosting perfect-grade talisman, he also used three defense booting talismans. Lastly, he also used a petrifying talisman on Blood Drinker. Just like its name, the petrifying talisman binds someone with an invisible forceful so tightly that they are unable to move.
This was all possible because of his mental fortitude. To commit such an act, a person needs precise timing, accurate judgment, extensive knowledge about magical beast and talisman, absolute control over one's thoughts, and many other factors. If there were to be a slight difference in his judgment then it was possible for him to be squashed under the beast's body due to lack of strength or his bones breaking due to the lack of defense. Lastly, if he didn't use the petrifying talisman then he would be smacked by the beast tentacle-like limbs
'Perhaps not even high-rank experts would be able to achieve such a feat!' Azan could see what he used to block the entire beast, and through his years of battle experience, he concluded that not even the C-rank and above ranked experts would be able to achieve such a feat!
'What a monster,' he thought in praise and disbelief while looking at his small back that shouldered the towering beast.
Gir* Gir!*
The body of the beast started to tremble and Whittaker realized that the effectiveness of the petrification talisman was running out and he didn't have much time before the beast regains control over its body.
"Everyone, take cover!" He exclaimed to the people behind him before, with a single thought, a green light flashed in his free left hand and he instantly hurled it towards the king of sand while stepping back.
"Off you go!" He said to the beast as the Wind Blast talisman activated.
At the same time, he quickly ran in the direction of the seemingly petrified Butler Azan who didn't heed his warning, clutched his hand, and used multiple Frost shield to provide them cover from the upcoming blast.
"Swish" With a booming sound, the talismans exploded in the air creating giant gushes of wind that blasted the beast away and crashed the frost shield. In the face of berserking winds, the mighty king of sand was hurled away like a rag doll. It crashed on the sandy ground and then it wriggled like a worm while letting out a screeching howl, trying to forcefully nullify the effect of the petrifying talisman hurriedly.
Crack* Crack*! Whereas, the frost shields protected Whittaker and Azan from the blast and kept them out of harm's ways.
"Here, drink it" Whittaker passed a healing potion to Butler Azan.
"Thanks." Azan gladly took it.
Gulp!" He opened the cap and drank it all in one go. As the liquid went down his throat, it turned into streams of healing energy that diffused everywhere in his body, reinvigorating him and healing minor wounds such as small cuts.
"Shield of Light!" Looking at the wind waves rushing towards her, Fiorin defensively crossed her arms before her body and chanted the name of a defensive spell.
Simultaneously, a golden shield materialized around her body and the wind waves crashed on it, breaking it in an instant and throwing her back to Jin who hurriedly ran up to her while shouting,
"Sister, are you alright?" He asked worriedly.
"Cough... Cough... I'm fine just some sand got in my face!" She said while standing up and dusting the sand off her clothes.
"If you say so. Sis, what should we do now," Jin asked. As he was immature and inexperienced, he couldn't decide anything on his own. The last time he did, he attracted the King of Sand. That's why he is acting like a tamed beast now, always asking what to do from his sister before making a move.
The Wind blast had raised huge clouds of dust that encircled a wide area in front of the two kids and blinded everything inside.
Looking at the sight of blinding sandy clouds in front of her, she replied in a distressed tone, "Let's first locate Uncle Azan and the young expert."
"We will do as sister say," Jin replied when suddenly from within the sandy clouds, Whittaker and Butler Azan rushed out.
