Chapter 749 Hector VS Liu
-----
"How gallant and heroic of you!" Laughed the Slime within Hector's clothes, Drake's clone. He had been seeing this entire thing unfold as if he were watching some sort of Drama or Anime back on Earth, and it as very exciting for him. He was already rooting for Hector, and he liked his ideals and his pure love for Miminga.
"Slime… I mean, Blue, do you think you can lend me that dark armor again?" Asked Hector.
"Are you sure?! That armor is dangerous…" Sighed Blue. "But I guess it's not as if you got any other option against a Rank 3 guy… Alright."
Blue didn't went around too much, and quickly decided to summon the Accursed Armor of Misfortune over Hector. As Hector walked forward and the people suddenly were about to see the two fight, Liu Myung mocked Hector once more.
"That spear might seem quite shiny, but I doubt it will help you win. And I don't know where you even got something so expensive looking, but I'll take it as a prize when I win…" Said Liu. "Are you okay with this, young Hector?" The man was rather young-looking as a human, but he was actually over 50 years of age. Those of higher Ranks could increase their lifespans, this increased even humans lifespan, usually considered short lived as they lived up to 80 years of age most of the time. Each Rank would increase Lifespan a few years.
"I don't know if you'll win either, Liu." Said Hector. "Don't be so sure. After all, you allowed me to wear an armor."
"Eh?"
CLANK!
Suddenly, a loud metallic sound resonated around the entire area, as Hector was suddenly covered on an eerie-looking black armor emanating a dark aura from within, it was so frighteningly strong that it made everyone around tremble in fear… And just by looking, they felt frightened and afraid of everything.
"W-What is that eerie-looking armor?!"
"I-I don't know but he summoned it…?"
"Is that a magic spell that creates an armor?"
"I have never seen Hector use it."
"What's wrong, Liu, are you afraid of a simple soldier?" Asked Hector rather ruthlessly, as he slowly began to walk towards Liu, the darkness emanated form his armor generated a dreadful aura that slowly started to cover his body. His spear suddenly was infused with it, as it converged light and darkness within… and Liu suddenly felt as if Hector's armor was draining something from him, it wasn't his own mana, but something else… his own fortune. But of course, he didn't knew what fortune even was, and could only guess pointlessly, without ever being able to figure out the truth.
Hector slowly walked towards Liu rather angrily, he knew he was the one that killed Miminga's grandfather, that was already unforgivable, and he won't go easy on him… Even more, he was Rank 3, so it was okay to go all out against such a strong person, right? Yes, this was Hector's mentality as of now.
Miminga and Kraxka saw Hector resembling a powerful and eerie dark knight, his heroic figure suddenly became that of a frightening entity… he looked like a furious demon. But he was not going to fight out of selfishness, but to protect the honor of the lizardmen, the tribe that his beloved Miminga belonged to.
"I won't let anybody insult the tribe of Miminga…" Said Hector. "I will go all out because you're Rank 3, that's okay, right? …Right, Liu Myung?"
"T-Tch! Come at me then, you stupid commoner- UNGH?!"
FLUOOOSSSH!
Hector moved at frightening speeds that Liu was incapable of reacting in time. His armor not only offered good protection, but it also came packed with amazing stat boosts, and it even increased in power the more fortune it absorbed from a target. Interestingly enough, Liu was a very fortune-blessed man, and all his fortune only fueled Hector's power even more.
Liu desperately created an ice wall to protect himself, as the spear of Hector fell over him with incredible speed and strength, converging both light and darkness, an explosion of whiteness and blackness erupted from the impact, covering the surroundings!
CLAAAAAAASSSHHH!!!
BOOOM!
The ice barrier exploded into pieces, as Liu Myung managed to escape in time, jumping away swiftly with a face filled with fear! His entire face was sweating profoundly, even, he had never seen Hector this furious before on his entire life! It was completely in another level. And he couldn't help but feel frightened despite being Rank 3… however, he quickly decided that such thought process wasn't necessary, he had to be cold and ruthless as he was always taught to be.
"Y-You're mere trash! You dare fight against someone as great as me so savagely?! DIE!" Roared Liu, unleashing hundreds of icicle spears towards Hector!
Hector's eyes flashed with red light from beneath his skull-shaped helmet rather eerily, as his entire body was enhanced by the power of the armor, he moved forward swiftly and precisely and with great speed, clashing against each icicle spear and destroying them with his single spear!
CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"W-Wha…?! Those are Rank 3 Spells!" Cried Liu in shock, as Hector moved forward towards him relentlessly! Liu Myung attempted to unleash another devastating attack, as he generated a dozens of meter big iceberg and threw it at Hector! The people grew more alarmed as they saw the enormous fight, running away from the upcoming disaster as they reprimanded Liu for being completely insane for using such a spell.
However, Hector seemed to be calm!
"You've already gone desperate and we haven't even started fighting? I suppose this armor is really amazing…" Hector said with a slight hint of cockiness, he jumped into the sky and unleashed several slashing attacks that were as flashing as light itself! In the sky people could only see several rays of light and darkness spiraling across the enormous iceberg, until it completely cracked into dust!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
The dust slowly began to fall from the sky, without managing to damage anybody… Liu looked at Hector in shock, falling into his own butt with a face filled with fear.
"W-Wha… what?! How…? This is impossible!"
