Absolute Soul
96. Boxing Heru

"Shear Hancliff said?" Jack glared great hearing the name.

Jack's reaction invites curiosity from Salvia and Cecil, while Haikal, Heru, and Verna who also know the name Shear react not much different from Jack. The two of them then asked Jack about the name 'Shear Hancliff.

Jack wanted to say rude to the two girls because despite being from the Blazer family both Salvia and Cecil did not know the name Shear Hancliff, but he could restrain himself given that both of them had special conditions that caused this to happen.

Jack explains that the figure in front of them, Shear Hancliff is one of the fugitive Blazers with a high value both alive and dead because of his ability to control Soul Device in the form of mechanical dolls is very dangerous.

"Soul Device is a mechanical doll?" Salvia and Cecil both tilted their heads not knowing there was such a shaped Soul Device.

Soul Device in the form of a mechanical puppet is actually not a rare Soul Device because in addition to being a weapon is also often used by bourgeois people as a display of art, art, but Blazer that can use Soul Device is arguably quite rare.

The puppet-shaped mechanical Soul Device could be moved by threads of soul energy which was one of the techniques that required independent control and management of soul energy, while this technique itself is not so much used by Blazers because most Blazers rely more on their Soul Arc.

In addition to requiring self-control of soul energy, the Mechanical Puppet Soul Device also kept many secrets behind its body so that the mechanical puppet user was a troublesome opponent if there was no information on it.

Blazers who were able to control the Soul Device mechanical puppets using this technique perfectly and successfully incised their names on the list of top ranked Blazers could be counted with a finger.

"But, why would he instead rely on his own Soul Arc and instead use a mechanical puppet-shaped Soul Device? Isn't the maintenance cost of Soul Device also not cheap, let alone something with complicated mechanisms?"

Cecil's question made Jack scratch his head, he also did not understand why Blazers like Shear instead rely on Soul Device rather than Soul Arc considering that with a fugitive value of 10 million Bold it is impossible not to have a Soul Arc.

"Simple, my Soul Arc is not something that can be used for combat." Shear replied to the confusion of Haikal's group before throwing dozens of daggers flying in unison to attack them.

Haikal and Heru had already taken the horses preparing Air Smash together to dispel the knives, but they had not yet pushed the fist a large amount of snow shot forward and muffled the entire flying blade.

The two were slightly surprised to realize these snows then turned to the figure of the snow controlling girl behind them who had entered Awakening, "Majulah, my snow will protect you."

After saying so Salvia spread out her arms along with a large amount of snow coming and floating around Haikal and Heru's body, then followed by a gust of cold wind from Verna which now deployed Elemental Dress – Green Falcon.

"Don't forget my wind can pull away the little knives," said Verna did not want to lose to Salvia.

At the back Jack smiled as he watched the two girls mindlessly exert their respective magic to help Haikal and Heru fight a criminal Blazer with a fugitive value of 10 million Bold, he then took out a piece of Forbidden Magic Card and threw it over Haikal and Heru's heads.

The card decomposed into thousands of green-colored particles that were immediately absorbed into the bodies of Haikal and Heru, making the two slightly distrustful of their increasing strength now.

Haikal and Heru pensively for a moment before looking at each other and throwing a faint smile, both of them then raised their soul energy pressure as high as possible and flowed a certain amount of soul energy throughout the body.

"Then I won't hesitate!" Heru pointed out that the intensive Haikal training he had been doing for the past month was not in vain, his strength felt much different from the first time he entered the Welcome Tournament.

Not wanting to feel defeated, Haikal hung his Soul Saber back at his waist and concentrated on one point.

It didn't take more than three seconds for Haikal to reopen his eyes and at the same time a number of black spots emerged from his fist, then radiating up to his shoulder made everyone there glare violently at the changes in Haikal's body.

"Black Karma," Haikal murmured feeling his strength increase even further as the black spot filled his arm.

Shear who saw all that from a distance was no less surprised, he never knew the information regarding the current Haikal changes. He also had no idea what the effect of this change would be, but he was more or less able to guess it.

"Then, let's move forward!" While exclaiming Haikal kicked the ground and shot lightning-fast forward once again startling everything, even Shear whose incident was a criminal fugitive worth 10 million Bold to the point of glaring at Haikal's speed.

"Don't big head, boy!" Shear gathered her dozens of flying daggers in one place and formed a kind of dagger shield with the sharp end facing out preventing Haikal from hitting and destroying the shield, but his guess was slightly missed.

Haikal stopped his steps and let the actions after running push his body forward, then took a swipe, "Air Smash: Overload!"

As Haikal's fist struck the air exactly five centimeters apart from the dozens of sharp dagger tips, an explosive sound was created for a moment and Shear's dagger shield was scattered, leaving Shear shocked instead of playing.

The dagger that Shear was using at the moment was not the same as the one he used when facing Haikal and Heru before, its quality was arguably almost on par with a medium-quality Soul Device, but Haikal can throw a dozen knives with just one hit? It was already far from the level of a Blazer candidate.

When Shear wanted to make all sorts of vows, Haikal loudly called out for his attention, "Heru!"

At once Heru darted quickly with Snow Blast and Tornado Blow from Salvia and Verna pushing him from behind, then sheathed a powerful blow to Shear, "Kong Strike!"

One hit hit Shear and threw him far back into the building, destroying a fraction of Adele in a single strike.

Heru may not be a talented Blazer when compared to Salvia, Verna, and the other two geniuses in his generation, but compared to the normal Blazer candidate Heru can be said to be very strong, especially after undergoing intensive Haikal training plus reinforcement from Jack's Forbidden Magic Card, Heru was probably the strongest Blazer candidate in the ordinary class if he excluded Haikal.

It could be known from how powerful Heru's punch just now was.
