Chapter 66 Pride (3)

I have to go all out.

Lance\'s eyes flashed a resolute gaze. He took a step back, taking his spear with him, and activated a skill in a split second.

[Noble Light]—!

At that moment, his spear turned bright. Calm, yet destructive light suddenly bloomed on the tip like the dawn of judgement.

The light was ephemeral and heavenly, as though it could burn the darkest abyss and lower hells with one wisp.

The Six Great Noble Families had their own unique signature abilities. These signature moves were what made them renowned in the entire world.

Noble Light was the signature skill of the Schultz family. It had a special and mysterious ability, albeit a simple effect.

Upon activation, it would conjure \'the light of existence\' for the user to strengthen themselves and their weapon.

The light of existence refers to the light of the \'spirit\' of the user.

[Noble Light — Using mana to exert the spirit, the user would be able to conjure a special \'light\' coming from their spirit to strengthen themselves or their weapon.]

From a certain angle, one could refer to this \'light\' as the spirit itself — thus it was referred to as the \'light of existence\' by its users.

If the user uses the \'light\' on themselves, they would gain a significant boost in their overall strength and abilities.

Alternatively, they could also imbue it on their weapon and grant their weapon a translucent \'light\' that could pierce and burn through most defenses.

There was also an option of doing both of the choices simultaneously, but they were not recommended.

It had to do with the drawback of Noble Light.

Among the other skills, Noble Light, despite its well-known prowess, uses minimal amounts of mana.

But as a drawback, the user would experience rapid exhaustion and depletion of stamina during the timeframe they use Noble Light.

With such a flaw, Noble Light could only be used sparingly and as a trump card against difficult opponents.

At this moment, Lance was using the skill at the very beginning of the battle. It was evident how much he took Ragna seriously.

In a split second, the silver spear transformed into an inverted spear of heaven, brightly burning and emitting an overwhelming light.

Facing such a light even Ragna felt threatened. But there was no bit of terror seeping on his face, but rather delirious excitement.

"Come!"

Ragna shouted with a wide smirk. He clenched both of his hands and activated [Dragon\'s Fist] twice — two dragon phantoms appeared on his two arms.

With dragon phantoms on both of his arms, Ragna stared at Lance with a grin that almost reached his ears.

Lance stared back coldly, offering no emotions. His eyes flashed an emotion of pride and indifference.

After a slight pause, the two simultaneously ran to each other!

Whoosh!

A spectacular sight immediately formed.

Light flashed rapidly like the dawn of judgement, striking the red arms of the demonic white-haired man.

Bam! Pow! Rip—!

Ragna moved his hands deftly, defending against each spear thrust and stroke. His blatant excited grin was all the evidence needed to tell how much he was enjoying the fight.

Every time the spear hit him, he would suffer some great damage to his body. Because he kept receiving attack after attack, It didn\'t take long before his two arms were filled with bleeding gashes and burns from light.

Normally, [Blessing of Nature (Passive)] would\'ve significantly reduced the damage of any elemental attacks, including light.

But Noble Light brought out the \'light of existence\' itself — it was not the normal elemental light from nature, but rather the light born from living things.

It wasn\'t included in the defense the [Blessing of Nature (Passive)] gave to him.

However, although he was filled with deep wounds, he didn\'t feel any pain. If his numerous scars were any proof, he had suffered more painful injuries in the past.

Compared to those injuries in the past, this little bit of damage and burn was nothing. It was like a mere itch to him.

After a while, Ragna\'s smile deepened. If there was anyone who knew him here, they would realize this was an indication that he was going to start his counterattack.

It was rare for him to appear so bloody and damaged like this, but… these level of attacks was not enough to threaten him.

Additionally, there was something strange and amiss. He could feel that the blonde haired man was still hiding something, and he didn\'t like it.

If the man wasn\'t going to show it, Ragna would force it out of him. Plain and simple. Like how beasts would show their everything in the face of death, this was the same scenario.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Ragna suddenly turned around. He greeted Lance with a menacing grin, one that looked especially terrifying.

In the time for a blink to happen, Ragna punched with overwhelming might!

His right arm, filled with potent and terrifying might, shot forward while the scarlet red dragon dancing on his arm roared.

ROAR!

Lance\'s pupils instantly dilated. He wanted to dodge, but he quickly realized that the fist would reach him first before he could even move.

Faced with the terrifying attack, he immediately decided within his mind. A two-circle circle appeared on his head. Lance muttered under his breath.

[Earth Shield]—!

The ground below suddenly morphed. A tall hard wall made of soil erupted from below, blocking the fist in front of him.

At that moment, the terrifying fist connected.

BOOM!

The earth wall was instantly shattered to dust!

It had no effect against Ragna\'s fist. Like glass, it was extremely fragile in the face of his single potent attack!

"Hehe, did you think this puny thing…!"

Ragna grinned, but his pupils suddenly dilated. His wide smile faded, turning serious. At that moment, he felt a long-lost sensation suddenly reappear within him.

The sensation of — Death.

On the other side, his fist was halted by a spear shrouded with heavenly light. It was evident that the spear confronted his fist head-on.

However, despite that… the spear had no damage. It was as refined and polished as before, emitting overwhelming light.

But on the contrary, his fist was bleeding. Burning from the light. His prided attack couldn\'t even shatter the heavenly spear, instead was damaged.

Even then… Ragna did not focus on that. He looked at the figure wielding the spear, the blonde haired man with a striking appearance.

\'Something changed.\'

Lance Schultz stared back with his golden pupils emitting a faint wisp of light. His body had sustained no damage from the attack.

Different from before, heavenly light could be seen dancing around his figure — guarding him from the insignificance of the world.

Before the attack connected, Lance used Noble Light to himself.

Why was Noble Light renowned enough to be a signature skill of the Schultz Family?

At a glance, it seemed like a simple reinforcement skill that merely increases the user\'s strength and ability. There were plenty of skills like that in the Ranker community.

But Noble Light, despite having the same effects, was treated as one of the most powerful skills in the Ranker community.

The reason was simple.

Noble Light did not simply increase the user\'s strength and defense, it made the user effectively… indestructible against an opponent of the same rank

After using Noble Light for themselves, the user would be able to negate most of the damage coming their way.

Noble Light was the perfect reinforcement skill. It gave immense strength to weapons and a nearly indestructible defense to the user.

Lance retracted his spear, stabbing its hilt on the ground. He looked at Ragna and spoke with arrogance.

"Stand proud, savage baboon. You forced me to this extent… I\'ll warn you out of my gracious heart. I\'m going to use my spear techniques now. I only use them against strong opponents,"

Hearing his words, Ragna\'s lips curled into a wide smirk. He grinned with fervor, exhibiting excitement and demonic zeal.

"Hehehehe, I thought you were done! You\'ve finally shown what you were hiding… that\'s good then. Use those techniques. Use everything. I\'ll use everything as well!"

At this moment, an overwhelming aura erupted from Ragna\'s body. It increased his power by twice the amount, inflating the pressure over the surroundings.

The two of them stared at each other.

Ragna was like a giant, while Lance seemed like a small person in comparison. The former was excited, while the latter was cold.

They assumed a stance, preparing to attack — but at that moment a voice suddenly broke the tense silence between them.

"Hey, that\'s enough."

Hajin stepped forward, his sunglasses covering his eyes while he stared at them. He held a black staff in his hands casually.

His voice was lacking the usual nonchalant and joking tone he always had replaced by a solemn pitch.

"You guys think you can stop fighting for me? I\'m supposed to stop you two. My cousin is quite stingy… but I\'m promised a good reward this time, you see."

Hajin said calmly. He put the black staff behind him while he lowered his head, showing a glimpse of his sharp eyes.
