Martial Arts Worlds - Chapter 737
Chapter 737: Strange Abilities
“Go! Go! Go!”
“Kill those bastards!”
“Yeah!”
The fifth floor’s prisoners shouted from inside their cells.
In the middle of the floor, the criminals and the prison guards left behind corpses from both sides of the battle.
However, the Martial Legends of the criminal side tipped the scale of battle in their favor and started pushing back the prison guards.
There were also several Martial Legends among prison guards, but they were outnumbered and overwhelmed by the criminal Martial Legends.
“…”
Kiernan didn’t participate in the fighting and instead stayed at the back with Julian and a couple of others.
Langham was being protected by rows of criminals, as Rochan had made it very clear that his life was extremely valuable to them.
Without him, escaping would become nigh impossible, and thus they had to protect him.
However, Kiernan had to find a way to get him killed, as he didn’t want any of these criminals to escape.
At the air above, Renette and Mars traded blows, and despite being Immortal, Mars was actually the one pushing her back.
His warhammer swings were powerful and precise, making Renette struggle to keep up with his attacks.
She was still far from recovering her true strength, as her martial soul was still in the middle of healing itself.
After her soul had been sealed for eight hundred years, it wasn’t the same as before and needed time and care before it was truly healed.
“Let’s push onwards, men! We don’t have all day!”
Rochan shouted.
Time was of the essence, and he wanted to leave the prison before the navy arrived with their fleet.
The criminals shouted and started pushing the prison guards back. They kept backfooting until they neared the fourth floor’s elevator.
‘I need to complicate things. If this keeps going on like this, the criminals will kill the rest of the prison guards, and we will escape before the navy arrives.
‘That cannot happen.’
Kiernan thought to himself.
He reached out to his inventory and pulled out a ball made of solid lead.
It was one of the lottery items that he happened to acquire, and he never thought that he would use it like this.
With a snap of a wrist, he threw the lead ball over the air until it landed behind the prison guards.
The lead ball cracked, and from there emerged a pointy-hatted man with a magician’s robe and a green grimoire that he quickly flipped open.
“Who the hell is that?!”
The prison guards screamed in shock.
They thought that it was one of the criminal powers, as this seemed like a summoner’s power belonging to the Conjuration type.
However, human summoning abilities were extremely rare, and they had kept records of every criminal’s abilities.
They didn’t think there was anyone with such ability.
Kiernan touched his forehead and transferred his consciousness into the body of the robed man.
“Healing Light!”
The magician then shouted, and as the grimoire glowed with bright green, the flesh wounds of every prison guard magically healed.
They were stunned.
They also felt that their stamina had recovered, and they felt more rejuvenated than ever before, thanks to the strange magician!
“Does that mean he is on our side?!”
“Whose ability is that?”
“Does that matter? Let’s push them the fuck back!”
With grins on faces, the prison guards swung their weapons and crushed skulls with each blow, quickly overpowering the criminals.
“What the hell?!”
Rochan shouted.
The criminals struggled to push onwards and acquired injuries all around their bodies.
They were also still feeling rather weak because they were all pretty hungry and thirsty.
Their martial souls had also been sealed for many years, and thus, they weren’t all back in their true strength either.
It was one of the prison’s ways of ensuring that if the criminals happened to escape, they would be in their weakened state because of malnourishment.
Thus, the odds were much more even. It didn’t matter that criminals had more Martial Kings and Legends on their side!
In that moment, the magician cracked like glass and evaporated into thin air.
“Huff… Huff…”
Kiernan’s consciousness returned back to his body, and he was sweating buckets.
‘Healer Magician Summoning Ball. An object that I acquired from the lottery, but it has only one use before it… y’know, breaks.
‘I thought I would need to use it if either I or Julian got severely hurt, but instead I had to help the prison guards.’
Kiernan thought.
He could’ve also used his own darkness, but of course, the criminals would be able to recognize that it was his ability, and he would get caught helping the prison guards.
“Haaah!”
At that moment, Mars swung his warhammer and sent Renette flying into the wall.
He then turned his attention on the rows of criminals below and came crashing down with the warhammer.
The warhammer crushed several criminals—crushing their bodies and heads—and then he turned to face the rest.
In that moment, he activated his Martial Ability, and the criminals all fell to their knees as if there were invisible men around them pushing their hands down on their shoulders.
“Die, you scum of the earth!”
Mars’ muscles rippled as he swung his warhammer, and at that moment, Rochan summoned a saber sword and clashed with the warhammer.
Boom!
The two forces collided with such force that the ground beneath them cracked open.
“Don’t hurt my friends!”
Rochan said playfully with a grin on his face.
“Who the fuck are you?”
Mars asked with a scoff and released his aura, which pushed Rochan back a little bit.
“Nobody interesting!”
Rochan rested the blade of the saber sword on his shoulder and said playfully.
However, Mars knew that anyone capable of stopping his strike was not a normal person.
He should’ve been able to crush this man effortlessly, as he was a Martial Emperor, and Rochan was only a Martial Legend.
Yet, his strength didn’t lag behind at all.
‘Does that saber sword increase his physical strength? I must find out!’
Mars jumped ahead and swung his warhammer with force, but Rochan deflected it with a perfectly timed parry.
“Painful Counter!”
In that moment, Rochan slowly waved the sword in the air, and Mars’ face suddenly exploded with the sound of flesh getting pounded.
“Prison Warden!”
The prison guards shouted in horror.
Mars fell on one knee. His face was bleeding horribly. It looked like the fight was over in an instant.
“Whew…”
Rochan rested the sword on his shoulder again and laughed, but in that moment, Mars stood back up.
“What the hell is your ability?”
Mars asked, and despite his face looking like someone ran a truck into it, he still managed to speak normally.
“You survived that? You are tough!”
Rochan said in amazement.
