Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Chapter 199: Hand-to-Hand Combat

This sudden change in Vislac Kal's actions made the mood heavy and murderous. He looked at Liu Yang like a poisonous snake about to attack prey with its poison.

"Poison Strengthening" Vislac Kal's body started to inflate and turn green. His lean body became muscular and his height was almost twice the original. He looked like a strange green-skinned creature.

"Iron Fists" The metal fittings were melted before they became two steel gloves covered with sharp spines.

"Poison Smoke" The pores of Vislac Kal's body began to release a green smoke, the grains of sand around him began to rot and turn black. This showed how powerful the poison released by Vislac Kal.

"Li Wu, watch out !!! This is the most deadly combination of his spells" Ivy has heard rumors about Vislac Kal's abilities before. What shocked her was the combination of multiple spell attacks.

Combining the power of a powerful body with poison and poisoned weapons, Vislac Kal was unbeatable in frontal combat against mages of the same level and some above. Because his physical body became very powerful and adding the deadly poison, no mage would have the courage to fight against him and they can only run to escape.

"I see ..." Liu Yang was shocked to see the combinations that Vislac Kal made with his different elements and spells. This gave him many ideas for creating new spells.

"If it's a frontal fight you want. It's a frontal fight that you will have !!! " Vislac Kal screamed and stomped on the floor. His body shot like an arrow towards Liu Yang.

Pang !!!!

"A frontal fight ..." Liu Yang inverted his blade. Before the blade was pointed upwards, now, the blade is pointed downwards.

Pang !!!

Liu Yang did not retreat and also charged towards Vislac Kal at full speed.

Pang !!!!

A loud sound echoed when the two fists clashed.

Crack ... Crack ...

Soon after, the sound of bones breaking was heard.

"Ahhh!!" Liu Yang screamed in pain when his fist was broken. Part of his bones was weakened by the poison and pierced by sharp spines in the steel glove.

"Ahhh!!!!" However, Vislac Kal was also unharmed. The impact of the two fists was also felt by him. Unlike Liu Yang's broken fist, Vislac Kal had some cracks that appeared on the bones of his hand and the glove.

The steel glove managed to reduce part of the impact, but the other part was felt directly in his hands.

(What is this ?? !!! How is his fist so powerful ??? He even endured my strength in the transformed form. I thought he had the body of a rank 3 beast, but I was wrong, this young man's body is like a rank 4 beast !!!)

When Vislac Kal saw Liu Yang being tortured by his poison before, he imagined that his body was the same as that of a rank 3 creature, as his poison had been of little potency before.

Liu Yang's screams made him think so. Liu Yang only suffered damage from the Healing Poison because he showed no resistance to acid corrosion. He let his body be corroded and healed at the same time. His previous screams were just a pretense to buy time for Ivy to finish her training.

(I cannot let this young man live !!! If he continues to train his body in this way, there will be no mage on the same level as he who can hurt his body) Vislac Kal made his decision. He would kill Liu Yang on the place so that he cannot continue to grow and become more powerful.

Liu Yang's physical training startled Vislac Kal, this was the first time he had seen someone so young have such a powerful body.

Pang !!!

Vislac Kal charged again towards Liu Yang. He would not let Liu Yang catch his breath. The poisonous smoke released by his body prevented the other side from breathing, as it was suicidal for someone to breathe in the poisonous smoke emanating from his body.

"It won't be that easy" Liu Yang made a defensive posture with his body. He was waiting for Vislac Kal to get close enough to attack.

"Poison Ball !!" Before getting close to Liu Yang. Vislac Kal spat a ball of poison towards Liu Yang's head, he only had time to dodge to the side. Vislac Kal took advantage of that moment and kicked Liu Yang in the stomach.

"Ahh !!" Liu Yang flew about a hundred meters away. A blood-line was left in the air.

Looking at Vislac Kal's leg, we can see a small sharp blade of steel. He melted another accessory and made the blade when kicking.

Booom !!!

Liu Yang's body fell heavily on the desert sand. He got up quickly because he didn't have time to stand still.

"Coff ... Coff ..." Liu Yang coughed and spit blood because of the impact of the kick. His belly was unharmed, but his arm was all bloody, and there was a deep cut on the side. Just before he was hit by the kick, Liu Yang blocked it with his sword, but the blade on Vislac Kal's foot was manipulated and changed suddenly and cut his arm.

The power of the metal element of Vislac Kal allows it to change the shape of metals and create other things. His steel gloves were the same. He melted the rings to create the gloves.

(That was dangerous !!!!! If I hadn't noticed that blade at his foot last second, I would have had a hole in my heart !!!!!) Liu Yang broke into a cold sweat when he thought about it. He had his guard up against the metal element magic of Vislac Kal.

This element gave a lot of advantages and many combinations for Vislac Kal to attack in several possible ways.

(It seems that I still need to take more risks !!! My body got hotter after this dangerous situation !!!) Liu Yang was excited about it, but a little hesitant because he almost died. Liu Yang understood that if he gets distracted, he could die.

"I was surprised that you managed to escape my kick, but the poison still entered your body after you were cut off by my poisoned blade" Vislac Kal started walking slowly towards Liu Yang. He was waiting for the poison to take effect, smoke, and the poison on the blade.

Liu Yang did not move and kept his head down. Vislac Kal thought his poison had worked, he smiled when he saw it. Despite not being hurt much, Liu Yang was one of the most problematic low-level opponents that Vislac Kal has ever faced.

"It's time to get this over with" Vislac Kal turned his steel glove into a steel blade. He didn't come very close to Liu Yang because he didn't know if the poison had the full effect or not.

The distance between the two was one meter.

"You can die now" Vislac Kal raised his sword and cut it towards Liu Yang's head. He would cut Liu Yang's body in two.

The instant the blade came down, Liu Yang's feet hit the ground hard. His body suddenly flew towards Vislac Kal.

Pang!!! 

"What??!!!" Vislac Kal had no time to react, his hand was still raised while he held the sword. He only managed to raise his other hand to defend himself against Liu Yang's possible attack. The poisonous smoke kept coming out of his pores like crazy.

A bubble of poisonous smoke was formed around Vislac Kal's body quickly.

At first, Liu Yang wanted to cut using his sword, but after seeing that Vislac Kal's fist was in front of and inside the bubble. Liu Yang preferred to attack with his fist while he protected himself with the sword for the eventual attack of Vislac Kal's sword.

Pang !!!!

Crack Crack

Liu Yang punched Vislac Kal's thorny fist directly. This time, Liu Yang used all his strength.

"Ahhhh !!!!" The fist broke along with Vislac Kal's hand, his bones were broken. He screamed and jumped back, his sword in his other hand fell to the ground while he held his own broken and bloody hand.

Liu Yang was no better, his hand was melted by the deadly poison. Flesh and blood can be seen after Liu Yang pulled his fist out of the poison bubble, the scene was horrendous.

"How did you become immune to my poison ?? !!!!" Vislac Kal saw that the poison inside Liu Yang's body had been neutralized and removed. He was frightened by this scene, as he had seen that before, Liu Yang was suffering because of his poison. How did he suddenly become immune? Vislac Kal did not understand this fact.

"This is something you don't need to know" Liu Yang clenched his fists and punched again.

"You will lose that hand !!!" Vislac Kal's other hand was covered with a black poison this time, he also punched towards Liu Yang.

Pang !!!

"Ahhhhhh !!!!!" Vislac Kal had no defense in his fist, so it was broken. The hand bones were cracked and broken by the force of Liu Yang.

However, Vislac Kal's goal was simple. The black poison corroded Liu Yang's hand before moving towards his arm.

Liu Yang's arm started to turn black before necrotic. He endured the pain with clenched teeth.
