151- Encounter 2 [Author's Note: Hi, readers. I know I have been barely uploading or publishing chapters in recent days, so I would like to give a proper explanation to you. The first reason, I am also a reader like you and after reading more than a dozen novels, I picked up the idea of publishing my work. So, after I started this work, I stopped reading other novels, and I got back to reading manga, as I let the chapters stack up. 2-3 years ago, I got introduced to the Manga genre such as Martial Arts, Fantasy, System, Wuxia, Xian Xia, cultivation, RPG, etc. But as I read Mangas, I found they were incomplete, and the rate of publishing was slow. So, every week I would pick a new manga and due to the lack of chapters, I would keep that manga aside and read the next one. So, after bearing with this situation for 10-12 months, and due to few stories possessing extremely good storylines, I could not control myself and I found that the stories have both manga and novel ve
152- Encounter 3 “What do you mean by this? I don’t think that I have offended you in any way, so why did you attack?” Orochi shouted angrily. But this was all a façade. Orochi could guess the reason why Ethan attacked without warning. The reason he still asked was to let Armelia know how unreasonable the world and living beings are and also, to increase his stats, while he is keeping Ethan busy talking. Listening to Orochi, Ethan sneered and said coldly, “Do I need to give you a reason? Who do you think you are?” Listening to this, Armelia shouted angrily at Ethan, “What a shameless guy! Attacking someone without any reason. How can someone be so unreasonable?” Only, after Armelia shouted, did Ethan focus on Armelia, “Hey, little girl, mind your tone, or else you will face more problems. As for attacking you? You two, have listened to something you should not have, so if you want to blame, then blame your luck.” But he was internally shocked because h
153- Showdown 1 Armelia got closer to Orochi and worryingly asked, “Orochi, I think aunt June should be nearby, should we call out for Aunt June?” “Don’t worry. I can handle this. But I think that guy called Ethan will fight me and he will instruct his junior Brother and Sister to fight against you. So, take care of yourself for a few minutes, I will try to quickly solve that guy.” “Yes, take care of yourself.” Armelia’s tone was filled with worry. . Orochi was in no hurry to fight. Finally, after a few seconds of discussion, Ethan and his fellow sect disciples got ready for the fight but when they noticed Orochi’s expression, they instinctively felt that something was wrong, but Ethan gave the command, “NOW!!!” With that shout, Jashan and Pamila dashed toward Armelia. And Ethan drew his sword and dashed towards Orochi. And immediately, Orochi equipped the ‘Red Lancer sword’ that he bought to kill the ‘bald guy’ [refer to chapter- 71] and activated the
154- Showdown 2 “Scorching sword slash” “Swoosh” The distance between Orochi and Ethan was less than 2 meters and in the blink of an eye, the fire slash was in front of Orochi. But this time, Orochi was able to dodge without any problem. A 30% increase in stats is not a joke, especially when considering the fact that almost all the stats have reached 7000 to 8000. After dodging, Orochi dashed towards Ethan. Ethan saw that Orochi dodged his slash, this time he was a little shocked, but he made the fourth slash. ‘Swoosh’ As Orochi got closer, the distance between Ethan and himself was closer to 1 meter, so when the 4th fire slash approached, the difficulty to dodge was almost doubled. And it increased Orochi’s pressure. Just when he felt that with [Physical Enhancement] his pressure got less, he found that it was just a short-term situation. “I guess, I can only activate that ability.” Orochi thought inwardly and quickly activated the ‘Red Lancer Swor
155- A Lesson for both 1 So, cutting off Ethan’s leg is the only feasible thing when considering all the facts, as cutting off his hands or piercing his chest is not a good idea, and aiming for his head, is also risky. But now, Orochi has also prevented Ethan’s chance of escaping. . Seeing Orochi coming closer, Pamila panicked and shouted, “Please, forgive us. I know we were wrong but please don’t kill my senior brother.” “Yes senior, I know we were wrong. Please forgive us.” Jashan also took the lead and started begging for forgiveness. Now the situation of Senior Brother Ethan is not good. His leg is gone, and his combat capabilities have been halved, not to mind about fighting it is difficult to escape in front of this guy, so it is better to ask for forgiveness. As for the ‘Important mission’, life is more important than some benefits and wealth. With that in mind, Jashan started to ask for forgiveness from Orochi. As for Pamila, she was scared about
156- A Lesson for both 2 ‘ding’ ‘-2341 HP’ Orochi looked down and saw that the sword had pierced through and was sticking out. His throat got sweet, and blood started flowing out from his mouth. And when Orochi saw the person who stabbed him, a smile appeared on his face. Yes, a smile. Orochi was smiling. The person who stabbed the sword was none other than Ethan. Orochi was a little surprised to find that this guy, with just one leg, was able to explode at such speed and was able to stab him in the abdomen. “I really underestimated this guy” Orochi thought inwardly. Although he was surprised, his expression did not change. He was still smiling. Living in the Lamia t
157- A Lesson for both 3 “BASTARD!!! I am going to kill you.” Armelia shouted angrily and once again kicked Ethan. Ethan endured the pain and quickly rolled away. ‘bang’ Armelia’s kick missed again. It’s no surprise that Armelia’s missed two times and she is not even able to deal with Ethan whose one leg is missing because Armelia lacks combat experience. Due to her weak constitution, Sheela prevented Armelia from practicing with others. Sheela hoped that one day she would be able to find rare herbs or medicine that could cure Armelia’s condition or at least her cultivation increase, then there may be hope for recovery, but unfortunately Sheela could neither find anything that could help Armelia nor Armelia’s cultivation was fast. So, Armelia would mostly focus on cultivating and practicing basic combat techniques. And still, she would get easily tired, which greatly affected Armelia’s progress. For Sheela all that mattered was her daughter’s well-being, so
158- A Lesson for both 4 Orochi did not kill Ethan immediately. There is also another reason that he let Ethan stab him. When Ethan moved, Orochi had already sensed it. But he did not defend against Ethan’s attack even if he had the power to do so. It’s not that he likes to inflict injury on himself or has masochist tendencies, but he wanted to teach Armelia the price that has to be paid when you make wrong decisions. Armelia has a pure personality. And Orochi who wants to go on a journey to become stronger, if he carries Armelia along with him, then he will face many difficulties. Just like how she asked to spare Ethan’s life on some girl’s pleading, there will be many similar cases in the future. And if she remains the same, then one day either she would die, or Orochi would die. Or maybe both would
