Chereads / Close Combat Summoner: The Way Of The Unrivaled / Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Battle Mode

Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: Battle Mode

"He beat more than 40 people by himself? And that's when he is not awakened? Are you kidding me?"(Kelvin)

Rex just nodded solemnly at him.

"That's..."(Kelvin)

"That's very amazing isn't it? Even if those bullies and thugs do not have battle experience like a veteran. Just there sheer number is troublesome enough. If I were in that position..."(Astelle)

"If we are in that position, without a weapon and the stats of being awakened. We will both beaten to death. Sigh... To think an unawakened human possess that kind of fighting ability."(Kelvin)

"Yeah so I need to see this match till the end. It was my second time seeing him in that Battle Mode after all."(Rex)

"Second time? I though you saw it too many times but this was just the second time you have seen him in 'Battle Mode'?"(Kelvin)

"Of course, think about it brother... If you saw that scene, would you still want to fight that kind of person?"(Rex)

"Ah..."(Kelvin)

"See? After that event no one cross his bottom line again. They can only bark at him from a distance."(Rex)

While they are talking, they did not take off their eyes on the fight from the start. The battle of Argus and Vulcan was still on going. Vulcan heard the story of Rex so he was even more amazed at the person who is currently slashing his Scythe at him.

The fight now last for 10 minutes. This 10 minutes you can see a big improvement on Argus's Basic Scythe Skills. It became more and more refined as the battles goes on.

'What a terrifying battle intuition. It's like each time he slashes, he correct his form. The improvement is negligible but as the fight goes on his attack became more refined.'(Vulcan)

'His demeanor or should I say his aura also change like I'm fighting a different person. It looks like it is his innate skill, but he did not know how to control it.And this is his first time wielding a Scythe? Unbelievable, if I haven't learn about this I might think he practice this move for a month. What a terrifying improvement.'(Vulcan)

Vulcan is really amazed by Argus's Battle intuition. During their fight he slowly increased his attack tempo but it looks like it is also what Argus wants since he easily adapted to it.

'His battle intuition is scary but he lack a real life and death battles. Let's end this fight I already know what this kid can do.'

Despite his high battle intuition, Argus found himself struggling to keep up with Vulcan's relentless attack. Vulcan increase the tempo of his attacks. Vulcan take advantage of the unfamiliarity of Argus to the Scythe Weapon.

A few minutes is not enough to mastering to wield a weapon no matter how high his battle intuition is. Vulcan, seizing these opportunities, pressed his advantage, slowly dismantling Argus's defenses.

Until Argus was also hit in the head by the war hammer and sent flying. Unlike the two, he minimized the damage and he did not passed out. Vulcan's advice came after that. He get the same treatment as Rex and Kelvin.

"Learn from this defeat. Do not just confront anyone head on if you just learn something. Starts practicing from now own. I will give you a Training Scythe for you to practice. All of you remember my words! You should treasure your weapon like a part of your soul. All of you are good fighters, what you truly lack is a life and death confrontation."(Vulcan)

He gaze at the four of them and stop his gaze through Kelvin.

"Especially you, it looks like you do not train as much as your sister. You need to change that if you really want to become strong. Okay, you can go home now. Come back here after a week if you want to get your weapons."(Vulcan)

"Thank you Mr. Vulcan."(Rex, Kelvin)

"Thank you very much."(Astelle)

"Where's the Scythe old dwarf?"(Argus)

"Tsk"(Vulcan)

Vulcan release a mana string on his fingers that directly flown to the smithy, and it goes upstairs. Not long after, the mana string retracted with a metal colored Scythe. The Scythe stops at Argus's neck as if the Scythe will behead him. Argus did not take it to heart and hold the Scythe with a small smile on his face.

"Hmm... It's too light old dwarf. I want my Scythe you will made to be as heavy as it can."(Argus)

"Ohoho... Heavy, huh."(Vulcan)

"See you later old dwarf! Thank you for this Scythe"(Argus)

Argus went straight to the exit while waving his hand back.

'This is a group of monsters. The twins will probably enter at Arcana but I don't know on the other two. Right... Rowan was bragging that her elder daughter was also in Arcana, huh. His son may also be enrolled there with his friend.'(Vulcan)

Vulcan has a bit of idea about the personality of the four during their small interactions. He did not interact much to other people so he is not good at reading them but with his age of course he has still a small grasp about a person's personality. A smirk appeared on his face.

'Arcana will be lively if those 4 no even only that kid enrolled there.'(Vulcan)

{Argus's POV}

Argus and the others are currently in their apartment.

"That old dwarf has no meercy, isn't he? Did he really need to hit our heads like his playing a croquet."(Rex)

"Yeah, that hurts. I think I have a trauma with a hammer starting now."(Kelvin)

"If he did not have a control on his strength, our heads will kaboom! Ugh!... Just imagining it... Too scary!"(Rex)

"Idiot"(Argus)

"Tsk, you can say that since he goes easy on you. First time privilege."(Rex)

Of course Rex was joking, there fight was even fiercer than any three of them. Argus just rolled his eyes.

"You three, the food is ready. Help yourself."(Astelle)

While the three was talking, Astelle was preparing there dinner. After there fight, Rex and Kelvin ask the two if they want to eat at a restaurant but Astelle volunteered to cook. Of course the two immediately agreed without even asking Argus opinion. The 4 enjoyed eating there meal.

"I'm gonna clean the dishes."(Argus)

"You don't need to do that. That's my job."(Astelle)

"Let me help. I was a bit embarrassed since a 'mooch' came to this apartment and ate your food."(Argus)

He's talking about Rex.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Argus you lucky bastard. Are you saying you do not want me to taste this heavenly food and just keep it to yourself?!"(Rex)

"Tsk. You didn't even deny it."(Argus)

"Hahaha, no need to fight for such a small matter."(Kelvin)

"Kelvin you shut up! You're the real mooch here. You just eat, play, and sleep since we came here. At least do the dishes once in a while and do some cleaning!"(Astelle)

Astelle also joined their banters.

"""Hahahahaha"""

The three laugh while Argus just smiled. The four of them became close just in one day thanks to Kelvin and Rex talkative and live personality. After a while they started talking about their plans. They are sitted in the single sofa that is wide enough for 6 person. Argus on the right edge, Astelle, then Kelvin, then Rex on the left edge.

This sitting arrangement is presented by Kelvin. Rex was looking at Argus.

"What level are you now?"(Rex)

"15"(Argus)

"What? I'm level 13... Tsk, I need to work harder to surpass you."(Rex)

"You're only level 15, huh. But the Mana you possess even surpass mine, a paladin."(Kelvin)

"It is really amazing. Is your class perhaps some type of Unique Class Magic Warrior or something related to it?"(Astelle)

Rex butt in.

"You see lady Astelle, this man is a Unique Class like what you are thinking. However, his class is not a Magic Warrior class. Argus is a Summoner."(Kelvin)

"Pardon me, did I hear that he is a Summoner? I must misheard you."(Kelvin)

"I am not joking brother Kelvin. My brother here is a Summoner."(Rex)

The twins look at Argus, who currently reading a novel, then he gaze on Rex. Rex stares seriously at the twins and he nodded his head solemnly. The twins was shocked with the revelation.

It's not their first time hearing a Close Combat Summoner but 99.99% of this path died. There are no known alive Close Combat Summoner right now on Vesmir so they were shocked that the person sitting beside them choose a very dangerous path.

This was also why Vulcan was amazed on Argus's. He speculated that Argus knows about the dangerous path a Close Combat Summoner will experience to reach the peak but he still continued this path. Vulcan wants to advice him but after their fight, he knows that it is not necessary anymore.

Astelle and Kevin's view was different from what Vulcan saw though.The first to react was Astelle. Astelle who was sitting beside Argus, immediately hold his shoulders and she started shaking i t.
