The Thousand Year Dynasty
21. Balancer
The figure of Ikhties drove with a drawn sword ready to hit Val. While Anna's position is far enough not had time to chase and stop the woman in white clothes.
But Rafa seems to realize this, and immediately throws a fireball at Ikhties. Unfortunately before it hit the woman's body, the wind arrow shot and smashed the fireball in the air.
But it's not done yet. Aksa who had been thrown backwards, now stood up and shot his gun towards the woman who was floating in the air.
The sound of a barrage of Aksa gun explosions rang out loud now. The moment before was disguised by the sound of Rafa's fireball explosion.
The barely visible bullet hit the Ikhties in a row. Makes him want to not have to avoid the side. Cancel his attack on Val.
As soon as it landed, the Ikhties immediately rolled over and re-installed the horses. His face looked confused to find how Aksa's attack could make his legs bleed. There was an elongated scratch on the outer side of his left leg, due to a bullet from Aksa's gun.
But yet Ikhties had time to re-plan something, Val seemed to open his eyes. Yang then grabbed the hammer-tipped iron spear that hung behind his back and lifted it into the air.
The tip of the hammer appears to start shining orange. And as soon as Val struck his spear into the deck floor of the iron ship, the orange beam instantly went out.
Once the beam was extinguished, everyone sensed that the mystic weapon they were using no longer had a Soul flow. All mystic weapons on board were sealed.
"What's this?" The first arrow-clad man felt it. His wind power was gone, vanishing from his body and arrow bow.
"What's going on?" Dragcoz stared at his sword which no longer had a flow of Souls he could use.
"Oh, so this is what Lord Val meant by balancing the fight" Nikolai stared at the spear in his hand that had not let out lightning even though he had tried to channel his Soul flow.
"What are you doing?" Ikhties seemed to be in disbelief at what had just happened. His mystic weapon was now just an ordinary weapon.
"This is the new balanced name" Anna began to smile after feeling that her sword was now an ordinary sword.
And without a second thought, Anna immediately ran over to the Ikhties.
Nikolai also immediately prepared the horses and began attacking Dragcoz.
Val was still standing with the hammer in his hand. It seemed that he was keeping the magic sealing mystic weapon to keep working.
While Rafa who is an expert in the field of earth magic and protection, now can only make a magic protector in the presence of Val. It appeared in his left hand holding a magic wand. And in his right hand held a gun that Aksa had given him before.
"alright. If this is the case, it's my turn to cheat" Aksa started to look smiling.
And immediately Aksa went forward to point his gun at the arrow-clad man who now could not do anything more. Because the man had no arrows at all. From earlier he had only relied on the wind magic from his mystical weapon.
Aksa easily nudged his bullet to the foot of the arrow-wrapped man. Besides, the man had nothing to take cover for. He did not even use a protective iron plate at all. That was because all this time, the man had relied on the armor from the wind magic protecting him.
It looked as if the arrow-clad man was rolling around withstanding the pain in his right leg.
Meanwhile without the power of mystic weapons, Dragcoz is nothing compared to Nikolai. Dragcoz's sword ability is far below Nikolai's. Dragcoz seemed to start to quell and was pressed to face the attack of Nikolai's spear.
The fight between Anna and the Ikhties felt quite balanced. They have almost the same sword skills.
But after Aksa shot the man with the arrow, now the target changed towards Ikhties.
Aksa continued to aim and shoot the woman who was facing Anna. And having to fight two people at once, made him start to be desperate. And by the time the Ikhties started to let their guard down, Aksa's bullet made it through his left leg.
And along with Ikhties who fell while groaning in pain, Nikolai also managed to hit Dragcoz down.
Aksa looked an arrogant smile. "God's mouth" he said later, turning the gun in his hand.
Val unleashes his sealing magic when Nikolai has taken all the mystical weapons from his three opponents, while Rafa rushes down to summon the healers.
After the wounds of the Champions from the Urbar kingdom were healed, they were locked in an iron prison on the B2 floor.

"I really didn't expect you to be able to do such a thing, Mr. Val" Anna looked very amazed towards Val.
"All mystic weapons are made of metal, derived from the surname Realn. So we know how the Soul flow works in those weapons. And that means we also know how to screw it up" Val explained when they were back on the bridge.
"That all Realns can do that?" This time Aksa asked.
"Right" Val quickly replied.
"But why does it take so long to prepare, Val? Then the same skill is not too useful, dong" Aksa said again.
"That's because I had to gather many Soul streams to reach a large enough area. When that ability is used while dueling, it can be faster to expel. Because it doesn't require a lot of Soul flow" Val explains.
"But what should be directly in the place of battle like that? Can't it be saved first, and then only issued when the battle takes place?" Aksa asked again. "So I don't have to bother protecting you" he added, trying to boast.
"That is not how living things work against the flow of the Soul. Our bodies are not Arcane crystals that can be used to store the flow of Souls for long periods of time" Val replied. "After all, you didn't have to bother protecting me earlier. Because I had already cast magic to make any metal would instantly melt once it was within one fist of my body" he added then casually.
"You're really an imba character" Aksa looks vexed at failing to boast. "So the further out the range of such troublemaking magic, means the more flow of Souls is required. Which means the longer the preparation is needed? I see, right?" Aksa looked back to the topic of his conversation.
"Right, but there's still a limit to living things accommodating the flow of Souls. So even his range must have limits" Val replied.
"And that was your limit, Val?" Aksa asked again.
"I can still accommodate more Soul streams" Val replied briefly.
"I guessed it. Then the Inventory Box. To whom can I ask to be made? And don't tell me that box also needs Soul flow control"
"really. It also requires the control of the flow of the soul. My friend was a Shuuran who made it, two hundred years ago. I don't know where he is now. I've lost track of it" Val replied.
"It's so thick of magic tools in this world. I'll find a way to control the magic without having to control the flow of the Soul" Aksa looked serious while nodding lightly.
"May it work" said Val later.
"All right, then. We're going back to hunting!" Aksa's words that look upset to hear Val's words that are like mocking him.
.
And then they began to continue hunting down and destroying the remaining 16 Urbar royal ships, mercilessly.
After that they returned to the big white Admiral ship, which was now half-drowned. The Admiral was no longer on board. They may have fled on a smaller ship.
