Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter V Chapter 188

Elysia and the receptionist lady also stayed away. The one who will face Palu is Alice.

The receptionist took out a small box from her pocket. The object turned out to be a remote to activate the arena's protective dome in front of him. As he activated his protector, the field ground that was in front of them was suddenly wrapped up by a transparent magic dome.

"Ooh..it's amazing." Elysia was amazed.

Although the Arachmeian empire was surrounded by desert and few water sources, they had sophisticated technology. Elysia may not be so surprised since her country has started developing the same or even much more powerful technology. But Alice thought that had the Arachmeia empire tried to expand their territory, they would have had far more fighting power than any other kingdom.

Palu and Alice stood facing each other.

"Well, Sarpathi has turned on her protector. Hmm...does Miss Alice not want to take out your sword?" Asked Palu while rubbing her chin.

Does he intend to fight me with only his bare hands?

Palu had seen the young woman in front of him using a sword and he was sure that this woman named Alice was a strong expert. Although he only saw it from afar, but the energy he felt as he swung his sword felt so strong.

His sword ability was probably at the same level as an A rank adventurer. Her thought.

"I guess not. I feel bad if I have to use the sword against you who use my bare hands. After all, I was quite curious as to what the attack power of a B rank adventurer would be. Therefore, I want to feel it directly." Said Alice.

"Hoho~ Did you underestimate me?" Hammers smiled as they raised both eyebrows.

"Not really. Instead, does Uncle feel that I will lose by not fighting you with my sword?"

Enthusiasm peaked within him. The hammer did not see any trepidation or arrogance in any of Alice's remarks. This young lady said that because she believed and did have the ability.

Had she never seen Alice fight, Palu would have thought she was just a naive, arrogant girl.

"alright. Then I won't be disinclined. I hope you can graduate with good grades."

The two of them took a slow breath and exhaled. Their previously relaxed gazes turned serious. The air pressure around them became heavier.

Alice shifted one of her legs back and bent her body slightly downward. He gripped his fist tightly. His eyes looked straight at Palu as if saying 'Majulah!'.

The hammer collected the Mana that was deep in his body and around him into his fists and legs.

[Dragon Roar Earthbind]

The hammer was not playful and directly used its power. He hit the ground very hard using both of his fists. The waves of wind and its vibrations made the building tremble even though they had been restricted by magic protectors.

"Earthbind will make my enemies lose their balance and have difficulty moving due to the strong ground vibration. Up next. [Sonic Blast]"

From where he stood, Palu launched his fist into the air. A powerful shockwave shot towards Alice.

"Uncle is serious. I didn't think that you would directly attack me with such a huge amount of energy." Said Alice.

Both of his lips were broken. Her calm face carved a sweet thin smile. Although her tone sounded relaxed but Alice did not let go of her focus and let herself off guard.

He prepared his horses. Alice pulled one of her arms back, with a swift motion she smashed the shockwave with her palm.

Palu was not so surprised to see his attack brushed aside so easily. "As I thought. You are a strong man."

Palu did not expect that his attack would hurt him, but he did not expect that his Sonic Blast did not even have the slightest impact on Alice. As he glanced at Alice's feet, his sharp eyes saw that the woman did not even move a inch from her place.

Usually I can knock out a monster twice as big as me with that attack.

"Yeah!"

The hammer shouted out loud. The strength in his body gathered more and more.

"Then I'll be even more serious and put everything in."

[War Cry] [God Hand] [Divine Rigid Body] [Unyealding Will] Hammers combine body strengthening techniques simultaneously.

Alice could see how much external Mana energy was flowing towards Palu's body. They gathered, condensed and encompassed his body. Like a battery, Hamu's body is charged with so much energy that it converts it into absolute power.

"It turns out like this the ability of a B rank adventurer." Mumbled amazed.

Alice did not know if only Palu possessed this monstrous ability or indeed all B rank adventurers had the same ability as her. At first he thought that the strength of Palu was likely only at level 6. However, after she released the energy wave just now, Alice could feel that her hair was shaking.

"His ability rose to level 7."

Afraid? No. gabe.

The passionate feeling in his chest was enthusiasm. He wants to fight soon. For a long time his fists had not clenched and clashed against each other.

The hammer was finished with its preparations. Each breath looked like hot steam coming out of his nostrils. The hammer looked straight at Alice. His eyebrows swooped sharply down.

"I'm the Hammer of The Wind Gale, ready to fight." Tutored firmly. "Prepare Miss Alice."

[Haste]

The hammer moved quickly to Alice's side.

[Rush]

He then dealt a blow to Alice. Alice brushed off each of her attacks easily.

[Heavy Smash]

Alice immediately dodged to the side. Palu's attack failed to hit him unless he just hit the empty air.

The fist was so strong that it blew away the air around them. If the attack hit the ground, it would have made a fairly large crater.

Alice chuckles. He showed a little smile to Palu. Then quickly pushed Palu backwards with a bang on his shoulder.

The hammer slammed three steps back.

"He can even withstand my attack. His body is strong too. Not only swordsmanship but he is also good at bare-handed martial arts." Hammer tightened his teeth. "From her looks I can tell that she is a noblewoman. I don't know which royal she is, but I've never heard her name. At least, with his great ability, he must be quite famous. Who is this Alice?"

The reason Palu spoke politely to Alice was because from the first time she met him, she knew that the young woman was a princess from a well-known family. His graceful appearance and grammar had already given a clear impression to him, coupled with the elegant distinctive aura of a noble corroborating Palu's conjecture.

Before becoming an adventurer, Palu had served as a soldier in the imperial capital. Surely he knew a little about nobility etiquette. His eyes had seen many women like him despite the fact that they always wore masks when meeting other nobles.

But this woman is different. The softness of the voice and the way of speaking gives it its own charm. The sincerity of each of his attitudes really made people comfortable to interact with him. Such was the first impression that Palu received when the merchant brought him into their flock.

"You're really strong!"

Palu thought that she was just a fragile noblewoman at first. He was deceived by its beauty.

"You're Uncle, too."

Both of them smiled with satisfaction while fighting. Their turbulent spirit encouraged them to continue exchanging blows. Palu and Fee enjoy their fight.

From the side of the arena, Elysia looked at them with sparkling eyes. Seeing her mother's fight left her mouth wide open full of admiration.

"Lu-remarkable...." Sarpathi herself was at a loss for words to describe the incident.

At first he panicked when Palu started the attack with his technique. He did not expect that Palu would directly attack with one of his mainstay techniques, but more unexpected was when Alice broke her attack.

His dashing figure looked cool and shone with his bright white skin. Sarpathi involuntarily nodded as she heard Elysia praise Alice.

It's up to him to be his mother or a young girl but the figure that I see in my eyes is amazing.

The onslaught of Palu's attack did not scare him. He instead held in place while holding the attack with a gentle movement of his hand.

Be honest. Their attack was indeed swift and devastating, but seeing the seriousness and happy smile on the faces of the two, Sarpathi's anxiety completely vanished. He even enjoyed their duel.

It is rare to see Mr. Palu enjoying a test session like this.

Meanwhile, during the fight, the people in the next building felt that tremor.

The adventurers who were sitting enjoying their leisure time suddenly stood up from their seats. Everyone was wondering what had just happened.

"This energy....." One of the adventurers with quite a high rank sensed the existence of a large amount of Mana fluctuation.

"It's not wrong anymore...." The other adventurers looked down the hallway to the building next to where the two girls and Sarpathi had left.

Some of them swallowed their spit. They all turned around and looked towards the hallway.

"The opponent is a man named Palu. He was a great Tanker as well as a dangerous assailant." Said another hero.

"Yes. Even though he was a B rank but he actually had strength equivalent to an A rank." Add another adventurer.

A curious man asked. "Then why didn't he try to move up to A rank?"

"Let's know, I think he has his own reasons." Reply to the previous adventurer.

"From the vibe just now.it seems like the man named Palu was not playing games. About those two women can pass no huh?"

People just stared at each other and shrugged their shoulders. They could only wait for the moment the two women returned.

"Well, what was more terrifying than him was his solid defensive ability." Mumbled the mind of one of the adventurers.

Back to the arena.

Alice began to dominate Palu, Although she did not launch a consecutive attack like Palu but every punch and kick was so hard that it made Palu's hands tremble because it resisted his attacks many times.

"Looks like I have to change my fighting tactics." The hammer mumbled softly to him.

"What's the matter Uncle? Why did you stop?" Alice could not hide the dissatisfaction that was drawn on her face. He hastily ran to attack Palu with a kick.

"Dooooo!"

Alice frowned in surprise. This time his legs felt a different sensation. The body of the hammer feels harder than before.

Palu grinned and then said. "Hows it? Do you still want to attack me Miss?"

Alice jumped back. He observed the changes that occurred in the body of Palu.

"Energies that overflow and heat up earlier. They look like they're coating every bone and flesh. His body changed from attack mode to survive." Alice grunted in amazement. "Great."
