BXBX NOVEL Chapter 303 - Battle At The Ship 3
At this moment, the space cruiser ship was still hovering around Arcadia city. They flew so high up in the air, and the strong wind caressed Tristan\'s face, but he did not seem bothered at all, so did the two dozen fighters on the surface of the ship. Especially the captain who was currently hovering in the air.
The ship was huge, with a surface as large as a football field to stand-in. Seeing the far end reach of the ship and the dozens of space knight, Tristan believes this will be his arena to fight.
Captain Jenkins did not choose to attack right away. Now that Tristan no longer held the ship hostage by blowing the ship, he wished to know more of this strange elf he was fighting against.
"Who are you, really? I have been fighting the elves for over 500 years, and I have never seen such magic!"
The question surprised him. Tristan was sure that captain Siegfried and Chieng did explain to him that they have reported his existence and received a new mission to capture him, the blood elf. But it was a surprise that they only came for Siegfried, and it was as if they dont know about him at all.
The captain realized Tristan\'s expression to be a little strange and said "You are withholding some information. Tell me. Who are you?"
Tristan merely shrugged and replied casually. "Didn\'t I tell you already? My name is Tristan, and I am the king of Arcadia! Seriously, captain, do you have a memory problem?"
The captain was still calm considering Tristan\'s mocking answer.
"You don\'t even talk like an elf… What are you?" Before Tristan was able to reply with an answer, the captain cut in. "Don\'t bother, I will know it, one way or another."
The captain looks toward the two dozen space knights that surrounding him and shout "Squad 208 and 207, you all spread out and make sure he can\'t run away!"
"Yes, captain!" The twenty-something space knights spread out to encircle him in a mid-distance.
The captain pulled out his sword from his storage ring. The sword can be considered quite unique, it looks very thin and clear as glass, so clear that Tristan would not be able to see it were it not for the strange way light danced on the blade. When the captain swing the sword, it also create noises that cut the air, indicated it was very sharp.
From the captain attack earlier, Tristan can tell this man is a wind elements fighter, he probably also have other skill but believe speed will be his opponent main strength
And as expected, the captain dashed at him swinging his sword with the speed of someone riding the force of wind,
In response, to fight such an enemy he shouldn\'t use a large weapon, hence Tristan raised his hand and formed his two compressed longsword made with his [Blood Synthesis]. He swung the two sword to stop the captain\'s attack on its tracks.
Clank!
Both weapons clashed, throwing a deafening metallic ringing and sparks of fire, but the captain was able to quickly rotate his sword and counter. His second attack connected with such an amazing speed.
Clank!! Clank!
If Tristan used his favorite large claymore, he would not be able to match the speed.
Clank! Clank!
Tristan never fought with a double-blade fighter before, he was having a hard time following the two blades that keep rotating. Unfortunately, although he matched the captain\'s speed, he was unable to keep up in terms of technique.
He also can see his blood synthesis weapon start to chip out each time he receives the attacks. The captain\'s unique double edge sword was definitely a tier 4 or even higher grade weapon.
Tristan was quickly pushed and when the captain saw an opening, he was using a battle art skill that quickly hasten his steps and reach out to cut his neck. Tristan was barely able to dodge, and have to give up his arm instead.
Splat!
The captain was grinning as he was able to cut off Tristan\'s arm and it was thrown away to the air together with one of his sword and both landing with a metallic clang a dozen steps away
"Your sword skill is Terrible."
The captain muttered, while turning around and dashing back to prepare for his finishing blow. However, Tristan will not just stand and receive the attack. He threw his other blood synthetic sword to the man and while distracted, he used his freed hand to cast [Fireball].
The ball of fire were thrown in such a close distance, forcing Captain Jenkins to receive the spell with his double edged-sword.
Kabooommm!
The resulting explosion made a massive shockwave, throwing the captain back a few steps, but other than his burned uniform and singed hair, the captain was unhurt. He dusted off his clothes, like he was dealing with a particularly persistent pest instead of a proper opponent.
Meanwhile, within the cover of the smoke and heat, Tristan used his [Blood Synthesis] to regrow a new arm for himself.
The captain still appeared unperturbed despite seeing what Tristan was able to do. He merely looked at him up and down, like someone trying to appraise a rare artifact, and said,
"You have a terrible sword skill, and you only cast low level spells, but both your physical strength and spirit power were off the charts. On top of that, you have the ability to regrow your limbs and regenerate wounds. I become even more curious about what you really are Tristan"
Captain Jenkins moved with purpose, he walked so casually that Tristan did not realize he had planned to dodge toward the cut-off arm. He gives Tristan a glance before use the bracelets on his wrists to analyze the dripping blood.
"I told you I will get your information one way or another"
The man was a calculating one. He definitely deserves his position as a captain that controls the life of the whole spaceship.
Within a second, the results came back, and the captain\'s expression changed as he read the report projected in front of his eyes. "Blood elf? You are a blood elf?" Still unable to believe what he just read, the captain read a bit more of the information before he said.
"Strange, I just received a new priority mission to capture you! Just what is going on here?!"
Tristan himself did not know the answer, but he was interested to know, hence he decided to stop attacking and observe the situation. It was clear that the captain knows more information about himself than he does, and this might be a chance to know more about the blood elf body he was inhabiting without sacrificing himself too much.
The captain however appears to be confused. He touched the device embedded in his ear and said.
"Major, tell me! Is this elf is your mission? You better tell me your objectives now, over!"
The situation actually make Tristan more curious,
The captain once again touched his ear and said
"Bridge, find me the major!"
The confusion only made Tristan bored, and he shouted to the captain
"Hei! Are we fighting or what!? If you are busy I can go do something else first!"
Haven\'t received the answer, the captain decides to once again focus his attention on Tristan
"Priority one to Captured!, you are very special indeed! ...let me see how many limbs I could cut off from you till you are ready to be captured," The captain gave him a sadistic smile.
Before round two was about to start, suddenly the ship shook, as a huge explosion from below wrecked it.
KABOOOOOM!
The explosion was so strong it shook the entire body of the ship and made the massive vessel veer off-course. Tristan had to steady his body right as the ship swerved to the side, sending the field they were standing on to a sideways position. Not only him and the captain, everyone else lost their balance as well.
Pitch black smoke rose from down below, and the distinct smell of burning rubber, oil, and metal permeated the air. It was clear, a part of the ship was burning, and from the way the vessel shook every few seconds, it has sustained a massive damage.
"What is going on down there?!" Captain Jenkins shouted. "Bridge, give me a status report!"
Before the captain received an answer from his communication device, ropes with hooks at the ends extended from the lower parts of the ship, before a dozen figures jumped up and landed right on the field they stood on.
The space knights all have an enraged expression, and in front of them, the Marshall stood with his black powered armor. With clear rage in his voice, he said to the captain.
"The Dragon blew up the engine!"
Hearing the words, Tristan could only gasp in bewilderment "What the fuck did you say?!"
