Martial Void King Chapter 162

Chapter 162

Another World?

They suddenly appeared in yet another dimension. This time they were in a clearing in a forest. Chu Shen looked around before suddenly yelling at the sky. “WHAT THE HECK! This is way too random!”

Lucas nodded. “To suddenly start jumping not even ten minutes after arriving… It’s too abnormal.”

Aslo shrugged. “I don’t find it odd at all.”

Chu Shen turned to Aslo. “Of course you don’t. I’ve been to Lucas’ dimension, the martial dimension, your dimension, and the Nugitraaiil dimension. In all that time, I always spent at least 3 months in each dimension. Now, we suddenly spent ten minutes in one. It’s… concerning.”

Lucas nodded. “It’s ver-.”

As Lucas spoke, a thin stream of water shot down from the sky and sliced a hole through the ground beside them, interrupting Lucas. Two giant robots flew overhead. A giant staff could be seen in the hand of one of them and a sword in the hand of the other robot. The sword robot had a pair of wings behind it while the staff robot seemed to be floating with no propulsion unit.

The robot with the staff was flying above the sword robot. The robot pointed its staff at the sword robot. Energy suddenly surged from the robot. Blue circles with some arcane text written inside them suddenly appeared behind the robot. More and more of them appeared with every second until they started overlapping one another. The energy continued to grow with every second.

The sword robot’s wings flapped once, causing it to surge towards the staff robot. The sword glowed a bright green as energy collected along its edge. The sword robot swung its sword at the staff robot, sending a green blade of energy straight at it.

A blue shield of energy flared to life around the staff robot. The green blade started to dim before vanishing. The sword robot didn’t stop though and started swinging its blade as fast as it could. Hundreds of green blades of energy filled the sky and converged on the staff robot.

The blue shield cracked and the green blades of energy made small cuts in the cha.s.sis of the staff robot, but it was too late. The circles finally stopped growing. One could now see that the circles stacked together to create a }{ symbol in the air. A surge of water gushed forth from the symbol, creating a ma.s.sive wave of water in midair. The wave smashed into the sword robot, pushing it downwards.

Chu Shen, who had been observing the fight at first, suddenly panicked. The two robots hadn’t moved much from their initial position, so they were still right below the two robots. Which meant, the wave of water was heading straight for them!

Chu Shen immediately started dashing to the side. Lucas, Aslo, and Chrissa followed suit. A few seconds later, there was a tremendous CRASH as the water stuck the ground along with the robot. The water smashed into the ground, causing the entire ground to crack and shudder. The sword robot went completely through the ground. The water surged outwards from the initial impact, surging forth towards Chu Shen.

Chu Shen gritted is teeth and formed the  . A circular shield made of gray metal appeared between Chu Shen and the wave of water. The water struck the shield, surged around and over it, leaving Chu Shen, who was behind the shield, completely dry. 

Lucas was swept away by the water and crashed into three different trees, breaking all of them in half. Aslo shot upwards on a stream of fire while Chrissa rode a cushion of air into the air, completely avoiding the wave of water.

The staff robot landed in the now muddy ground. Broken trees, bits of rock, and muddy water filled with clumps of gra.s.s now filled the once pristine clearing. The aftermath of that tidal wave was quite shocking. The }{ symbol still floated behind the staff robot. Climbing out of the ground was that sword robot. Its metallic body was slightly dented but otherwise it seemed fine.

The blue circles behind the staff robot pulsed brightly before fifty streams of highly compressed water shot out of the circles. The sword robot jumped left and swung its sword at the water streams that were in its path. 

Several water streams impacted the sword while two streams. .h.i.t the robot’s body. The water streams splashed against the robot’s sword and the cha.s.sis of the robot. At first glance, it didn’t appear as though the water streams were effective. If one paid attention though, they would see the gouge where the water stream had struck the sword robot as it jumped out of the way.

The staff robot twirled its staff once, causing the }{ symbol to pulse brightly. Water ropes snaked out, grabbing the sword robot. The water ropes hoisted the sword robot into air. The wings on the sword robot flapped desperately but they were tangled up by the water ropes. 

A much thicker stream of water shot outwards, striking the robot in the chest. The stream of water cut into the robot at a visible pace, the metallic cha.s.sis diminishing inch by inch. The back of the robot suddenly split apart and a man in a black robe shot out. A sword was strapped to his back.

The man didn’t draw his sword but instead quickly ran away from the staff robot. With a gesture of the staff, the water ropes dropped the now lifeless sword robot and shot after the robed man.

The robed man leapt from tree trunk to tree trunk, dodging the water ropes skillfully. Three of them ganged up on the robed man but a flash of light sliced all three ropes in half. The man jumped past the cut ropes, revealing his now drawn sword. 

The water ropes had previously been the thickness of a man. Now, they split up into many smaller ropes and surrounded that robed man. They surged towards the robed man all at once. Soon the robed man was caught. As soon as he was, the back of the staff robot opened up. A man with a staff in his right hand floated out of the robot.

“I told you I would win Ah Fan!”

The robed man ‘Ah Fan’ laughed. “I didn’t doubt it for a second Lin Bai. Mages are stronger than warriors, especially with the Magic Knights to enhance their casting power.”

‘Lin Bai’ smiled bashfully. “Thank you for letting me win the duel Ah Fan.”

Ah Fan grinned. “Your welcome. As the winner, I think it is only fair that you take responsibility for your win and pay for the Magic Knights to be repaired.”

Lin Bai groaned. “You sly dog. I really hate you, ya know that?”

Ah Fan squirmed slightly, causing ripples to spread through the water ropes still binding him. “Uh, Lin Bai. You mind dispelling your Water Binding spell? It’s not very pleasant being tied up like this.”

“Hey!” A shout distracted both Lin Bai and Ah Fan. Looking up they saw a teenage boy descending towards them on a pillar of fire. A girl floated down beside him on a whirlwind. Aslo glared at Lin Bai when he landed next to him. “What's the big idea! You almost crushed us with that hunk of metal!”

Chu Shen had ran over to the two magicians as well the old fashioned way, on the ground. Lin Bai looked at the three kids in front of him. “How did you get in here! This is the private dueling grounds of the Magic Knight a.s.sociation. There should be no one inside except me and Ah Fan. Don’t you know that breaking in here can get you executed!”

Aslo paled. This may not be the best start for a new dimension. Chu Shen raised his hands and stepped between them. “Hey now, sorry about that. We just got lost when we were exploring the a.s.sociation and wound up here. Just show us the way out and we won’t complain about your fight almost squashing us.”

Ah Fan chuckled. “Lin Bai, set me down and give these kids a break. Remember when we were younger we did a lot of foolish things too.”

Lin Bai chuckled as well as he turned his attention to the water ropes. Waving his staff, the water ropes dissolved, allowing Ah Fan to fall to the ground. “I remember those things pretty fondly Ah Fan. Anyway kids, I think we can let you this once. Just don’t do it aga-. Huh? Where’d you go?”

Those kids, he had just taken his eyes of them for ten seconds and they had vanished into thin air.
