Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 203

Chapter 203: A Very ‘Friendly’ Encounter… Part-5.
The artificial sun was all but broken and destroyed by Konda; all that was left of it was its broken core, which is only the size of a basketball.

As the realm of consciousness broke apart after Jareth and Zion’s fight, the broken core also got thrown out; and its two pieces fell on the ground.

Jareth and Zion were now standing opposite each other in the hidden room of the palace while covered in blood, and the two broken pieces of the core were lying in the middle of the room.

‘Sh*t that attack didn’t kill him in one go!’

Jareth can only buy a new attack enhancement card when he doesn’t have one in his inventory, and there’s a three-minute cooldown time before a new attack enhancement card appears in the system shop.

Thus, right now Jareth can’t buy another one to one-shot this guy, and the situation has turned dire.

His body is injured, and he’s nearly out of mana now.

Zion is not doing well; he is barely surviving with half of his body scorched to the bone.

The two of them stared at each other for a moment and didn’t bother talking at all; they both took steps forward at nearly the same time.

Although they are out of mana, they are not out of options!

Now the battle must be settled on who has stronger hands!

*BOOM!*

Jareth jumped and used his intact arm to punch; Zion did the same; he used the rest of his leftover mana to enhance his own physique and punched too.

The two punches collided, creating a massive shockwave that caused the walls and floor of the hidden room to crack from the air pressure generated by their collision.

Jareth waved his leg and used his toe to kick away one of the two broken core fragments, and as if Zion could read his mind, he did the exact same.

Then the two of them jumped away and grabbed one piece of the core each.

“Without the other half, the core is useless…”

While glaring at Zion, Jareth placed the fragment in his space ring.

“Indeed, I will definitely get it today…”

Zion tossed the fragment in his coat’s inner pocket, which had a similar function to a space ring.

Now both of them have one fragment each in their possession, and if they want to get the other half, they will have to kill the other party and forcefully get it by them.

[Basic Magic: Maximum Output: Float!]

Jareth cast the float magic and launched at Zion at an extremely fast speed. Zion didn’t expect that Jareth still had enough mana to cast magic, so he was not able to react on time.

That small delay was enough for Jareth to fly towards him and grab his neck with his intact hand.

Using the immense strength of a grade 2 warrior, Jareth pushed Zion towards the ground and then dragged him all over the ground.

The ground cracked and broke from the force of Zion’s body being dragged around like that.

“Urk!”

Zion coughed up blood and then put a lot of strength in his arm to directly punched Jareth in the chest.

Zion himself has a body as strong as a semi-grade-1 warrior, as he has trained himself for several centuries!

Thus, his insanely fast punch hit Jareth instantly, causing him to fly away.

Jareth’s grip loosened instantly; he hit the wall, and the wall broke apart from the force, making Jareth fly out of the palace wall.

Zion didn’t wait at all; he kicked the ground and jumped to the other side through the broken wall and was greeted with a punch to his jaw as Jareth had already anticipated he would come.

The punch was so powerful that it created a sonic boom in the air, and the air pressure caused the debris to fly wildly.

Zion’s body went through the ceiling, breaking through the upper floor and falling into the throne room located right above.

*Spit*

Zion spit out his broken teeth and hurriedly grabbed a nearby stone debris, and just as Jareth tried to come up, he smashed it on Jareth’s head with an extreme force.

Jareth directly ignored the attack and traded an injury with an injury.

The stone hit his head and broke apart, leaving a small wound. In exchange, Jareth kicked Zion in the chest, making him fly away toward the wall of the throne room and break out of it.

Zion’s body flew away like a cannonball and pierced right through the entire palace before falling outside in the back garden.

The exploding corpses in the back garden were crushed by Zion’s body, which cushioned the impact for him.

Jareth came flying to hit him with another punch, but Zion had anticipated it. He bent his knees to squat down and dodge the attack, and Jareth kicked Jareth on the side of his waist.

Jareth collided with the outer wall of the palace, and the wall collapsed instantly!

Jareth had already deactivated the mana barrier on the wall when he grabbed those main doors for himself, so the walls were now fragile and couldn’t stand being hit by such powerful attacks.

The golden palace is located on a half-mountain. Jareth’s body flew away like an arrow and started to fall down the mountain, but he used the float magic to fly and stabilize himself in the air.

Zion stomped on the ground and jumped towards Jareth to kick him, but Jareth caught his leg mid-attack and threw him towards the ground like he was throwing garbage away!

Zion was already out of mana, so he couldn’t fly; he fell down at an extremely high speed and hit the ground.

*BOOOM!* *CRACK!*

A gigantic crater appeared in the ground, and a massive amount of debris flew in all directions, killing all the demonized mutants that were wandering nearby in that area.

“Cough! Urk!”

Zion coughed up a lot of blood and knew that a lot of his bones had broken after falling from such height, but he didn’t care about the pain and jumped out of the crater to move away from the spot.

*BOOM!*

And sure enough, Jareth came flying down and kicked the spot where Zion was lying down just a few seconds ago; if he hadn’t moved away, Jareth would have smashed his head into bits like a bullet hitting a watermelon.

Jareth had used gravity to his advantage, thus the power of that kick was immense; thankfully, Zion dodged it on time.

“Consider me impressed, Jareth Ayad! In my whole life, I have never met someone as strong as you! I really didn’t expect that you would still be so strong even without magic!”

A crazy smirk appeared on Zion’s face as he stared into Jareth’s dark purple eyes.

Jareth also smirked back at him and replied accordingly.

“I am more surprised that you are still alive; no one has survived against my killer moves so easily…”

“You seem like you are barely hanging onto dear life, but you are still good enough to keep your mind calm… You are strong, Zion Reid…”

The reason why Jareth and Zion both aren’t using mana recovery potion and health recovery potion right now is because they can’t afford to use them right now.

The moment any of them showed even the slightest bit of distraction, it would turn fatal.

In a battle between peak powerhouses like them, if you get distracted for even a mere millisecond, your chances of losing will go from 0 to 100 percent in a matter of milliseconds.

This is the reason why they can’t use potions right now; they can’t afford to show distraction at all.

*BOOM!*

Jareth and Zion moved at the same time and kicked at each other. Zion bent down to kick Jareth’s leg, and Jareth directly used the float spell that he previously cast to easily dodge that kick.

He then again used gravity to enhance his attack and punched towards Zion. Zion, on the other hand, twisted his waist to the side to dodge the punch.

The two of them exchanged nearly a hundred blows with each other in the next one second of time period, but not a single one of them landed.

The ground in the radius of a kilometer was completely shattered and riddled with craters; debris flew in all directions and killed the mutants that were unlucky enough to be present nearby.

The two of them even started to use the dark miasmic fog to their advantage, attacking each other with hard-to-predict attacks.

Yet none of them succeeded.

Jareth himself is extremely resistant to miasma, so he can afford to expose himself to miasma for a long time without getting affected, and Zion, on the other hand, is more in danger.

Although he also has high resistance to miasma and corruption as a light-type mage, he can’t keep fighting in this field of miasma for too long in this injured state.

Not only Zion but Jareth, both are pressuring each other to remain tense at every second, so none of them have the time to even try to grab a single potion or focus their attention on the mutants wandering nearby.

*BOOOM!*

Jareth’s punch hit the pillar, which was the main support pillar for the golden bridge that was keeping the bridge between the city and the top of the half mountain in place.

The entire pillar cracked and broke apart; the bridge started to fall at extremely high speed.

Jareth kicked Zion in the stomach and dodged away to the side. The debris from the bridge fell directly on Zion, burying him below it.
