My Farm System: Reaching The Top In The Parallel Earth!-Chapter 81
Contrary to what Rezen thought, Zero is a bit similar to mages at the 4th and 5th rank when it comes to achieving flight but is also a bit different
Instead of riding on a sheet of their chosen element, Zero was releasing streams of elemental energies from his palms and the soles of his feet, giving him more flexibility
He basically looks like a certain character from a comic and movie
Zero showed the reason why the mage path is considered a mediocre path and the Tattoo Warrior path is a superior path if not for its side effects and restrictions
He just reached his current rank today but he already managed to catch up to Lord Keito in terms of fighting prowess
“Hmph! [Lightning Net!]”
Lord Keito waved his hand while his lightning-type mystic gem resonated with the natural laws
He materializes a magic circle that releases a net of lightning. If Zero was caught with it then even with his superior physique, he would still suffer a heavy consequence
In return, Zero slowed down his flying speed. Light elemental energies gathered and condensed at his palms, looking particularly bright in the darkness of the night
Zero threw one elemental ball from his hand and it met the net of lightning before exploding
The two elemental attacks canceled out each other before Zero threw the remaining light elemental ball on his hand
Lord Keito’s countenance turned dark at that. His flying sheet of metal evaded the ball narrowly
However, Zero controlled the elemental ball to explode even if it didn’t hit Lord Keito
As a result, the mage was caught in the explosion. The metal sheet carrying him was battered and thrown away
Even his robes received some damage, parts of them were burned
Blood flowed out from Lord Keito’s lips yet Zero didn’t stop. He continues flying until he reaches Keito
His feet were still releasing streams of energy while his fist was coated by the power of the light element
He was about to land a punch on his enemy when Keito forcefully conjured another magic circle
“[Spiraling Lance!]”
From the magic circle, a Lance made from pure metal came out. It was spinning at a rapid speed, increasing its penetrating power
With this distance, Zero would be severely injured if he let that spell land on his body
Without a choice, Zero altered the trajectory of his punch. Instead of punching Lord Keito in the face, he moved his arm as he punched down f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎
His fist landed on the spiraling lance, and the impact of his punch send the lance flying down
Bang!
That Lance easily penetrated the ground, it even resulted in a crater and it sends ground debris flying everywhere
“[Lightning Flash!]”
Lord Keito casts yet another spell and swimming snakes of lightning appeared on his body again
He used what remained of his metal sheet as a springboard to jump high
When a mage fought with a Tattoo Warrior, they must always make sure to put on some distance
While mages at the higher rank can create magic circles in an instant to use a spell, Tattoo Warriors on the other hand can easily use their bodies to attack
Lord Keito leaped higher in the air and Zero chased him as he flew upwards
The fight grew more intense. If Zero was not a newly ascended 4th rank Tattoo Warrior, this battle might have already finished some time ago
Unfortunately, Zero just reached his current rank today and he still hasn’t reached the peak of his power
“[Lightning Streaks!]”
Lord Keito condensed another magic circle and from it, tens of streaks of lightning flew out
Even then, Zero didn’t stop flying. He just clenched his fist coated with light element and he met those lightning streaks head-on
He punched the lightning streaks, sending them in another direction and Lord Keito snorted coldly
The lightning streaks suddenly changed their direction and targeted Rezen and the others that were watching the battle in the sky with bated breath
“Ayooo! Why do you have to include us?!” Rezen complained while his subordinates moved in front of him to block the lightning streaks for him
“Master!” Zero called out, he was about to fly towards Rezen when the latter stopped him
“Go catch that bastard, I won’t rest as long as I haven’t punished him yet!” Rezen shouted while throwing another handful of his cherry bombs, effectively blocking the lightning streaks
“Tsk” Lord Keito clicked his tongue in annoyance and he hurriedly condensed another sheet of metal to ride as Zero obeyed his master
Lord Keito was about to focus on fleeing but Zero continuously punched the air, sending a trail of light energies
Those trails blocked Lord Keito’s path. If he took care of them, he would be hindered and he has no choice but to change direction 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
However, Zero’s attack has the goal of preventing him from flying far, and even until now, they are still around Rezen’s farm
Sensing that his situation was not optimistic, Lord Keito changed his plans. He controlled his metal sheet to fly down and focus on attacking Rezen that is clearly the most important person for these Tattoo Warriors
“Master!” Zero called out in worry as he sped up his pace to try and catch the damned mage
Seeing Lord Keito flying towards him, Rezen sneered. He even raised his hand to pull down his undereye
“Bitch, you thought I was just idling here?” Rezen said arrogantly before waving his hand and lavender stalks were thrown by him that his subordinates caught
“Alright my lovely subordinates, sniff the lavenders well!” Rezen said while placing a lavender on his own nose
Rezen uses his right hand to hold the lavender and on his left hand, a black rose appeared
“My mutated rose, go do your job!” Rezen ordered and as if the rose can understand him, its petals detached themselves and they met Lord Keito before turning into a black gas
Lord Keito didn’t sense any danger from the roses and he thought that Rezen was just bluffing but…
“Bleeggghhh!!”
The mage’s eyes widened and teared up. Snot flow out of his nose while he pinched it and held his own throat
He was looking quite miserable as if he wanted to puke or something
“Hehehehe, how’s my mutated black rose? It’s stinky, right?” Rezen said while sniffing the lavender on his own nose
While Zero and Lord Keito were fighting earlier, he checked the crops that he planted, specifically the mutated ones to see what he could use from them
There is no guarantee that Rezen and the others wouldn’t be harmed. As such, he prepared some mutated crops if ever the enemy decided to attack him and it really did happen!
Zero was taken aback at first but then he moved again. After Rezen gave him a lavender to not be another victim of the mutated black rose, Zero broke the mage’s arms and legs
He even placed a tattoo mark on the mage’s stomach and Lord Keito’s mystic gems re-entered his elixir field
That tattoo mark and the traps that Rezen encountered from the trial in the Blessed Land were all created by the master of the said Blessed Land
Normal Tattoo Warriors can only engrave tattoos on their own bodies. However, the Blessed Land’s master was different
They were able to invent a way to use tattoos outside of a person’s body and every tattoo mark has a different effect
The ones back on trial were all traps while the one that Zero used on Lord Keito was a Tattoo Mark that would prevent the mage from summoning his mystic gems
Without the mystic gems, a mage wouldn’t be able to use magic no matter how high their comprehension was
This means that Lord Keito is not much different from a normal human right now
“Zero, good job!” Rezen complimented. If Zero didn’t reach the 4th rank today, things would be really dire
Rezen has to call Rain and Florine again and he has to survive until they arrive. With just his cherry bombs, surviving for a long time would be a problem
Just the [Mercury Swamp] spell alone was already a huge threat. If Zero didn’t arrive on time, Rezen is surely already swallowed by the swamp, dying right there
“It’s what I should do, Master” Zero answered humbly but there was still a hint of arrogance in his tone
His arrogance was not directed at Rezen but at the other Tattoo Warriors that were not powerful enough to protect their Master that blushed in shame, humiliation, and jealousy
Rezen didn’t expect that Zero actually has this kind of side. To think that this always quiet subordinate of him that would only talk when needed could be this childish…
This was quite refreshing and reminded Rezen that although his subordinates are Artificial Humans, they are almost no different from a real one
They all have the desire to live for him but their personality is also as complex as other humans out there
