Chapter 73: Advanced Item Manipulation Magic

Walno uses his magic on a table and everything on it. The objects fly to him and form a heavy machine gun. “See? I can turn even a table and a bunch of objects on it into a machine gun and bullets.”

He starts shooting it, bullets made of tiny metal pieces continuously fly out from the gun’s barrel. The heroes try to avoid the gunfire, and though they avoid a major impact, all three of them are at least partially hit. However, it doesn’t take long for Walno to run out of bullets.

Walno stares at his gun with disappointment. “Unfortunately for me, I have not mastered this magic, otherwise, I could reform this gun into something else.”

“You could do that?” Kurt asks, still amazed at Walno’s capabilities.

“Yes, but no matter, you are all injured from the small number of bullets I had,” Walno replies.

“No, not me!” Kurt retorts. “I’m just joining this fight! Aura Snake!”

A snake made out of aura, no bigger than a real snake, is released from Kurt’s aura. It is able to fly and many points along its body are glowing.

“What is this?” Walno asks, focusing on the snake as it flies around the room.

“It’s one of my new abilities,” Kurt replies with a confident smile. “Those glowing points along its body will explode if you touch them.”

“I see…” Walno says, keeping his focus on the snake.

Kurt points forward as he shouts, “Go!”

The aura snake goes after Walno, and Kurt also pursues him.

“I can dodge your snake,” Walno says in a calm tone.

He jumps onto a table, and then jumps over the snake. However, Kurt is ready for him and jumps toward him.

“Bet you didn’t see this coming!” Kurt shouts. “Flame Aura Punch!”

Kurt punches Walno hard in the face with his fist covered in flaming aura, and then kicks him, knocking him back against a wall.

“That was a nice hit,” Walno says while wiping blood off his face. “I will give you that much.”

He uses his magic to make a small table form into a shield for him and holds it with his left hand. “I made a makeshift sword before. Now, I have made a makeshift shield.”

He charges forward with deceptive speed, and punches Kurt in the face and body multiple times. Despite taking some damage, Kurt uses the opportunity to rip away Walno’s shield.

The aura snake wraps around Walno’s body, leading to all the glowing points exploding.

Kurt pants, taking breaths between each word. “See? Don’t be cocky.”

“Who said I was being cocky?” Walno asks in a serious tone from within the smoke cloud caused by the explosion.

Kurt’s jaw drops slightly and eyes widen as he sees Walno emerging from the now-dissipating smoke cloud. Most of his suit has been destroyed and he is pretty wounded, but still more than capable of fighting.

Walno uses his magic on various objects around the room, and has them come toward him. In one hand, he has a big mallet that is about three feet in diameter, and in the other is a metal boomerang that is about one foot in length.

“On the bright side, he is running out of stuff to manipulate,” Joe says.

“And that is why I plan on finishing all of you off with these,” Walno states.

He throws his boomerang at Kurt. However, Joe jumps in front of Kurt and takes the blow. It knocks him back into a wall, just barely missing Kurt.

Leaning against the wall, Joe coughs up blood.

The boomerang returns to Walno, who is pleased by the result.

“You idiot!” Kurt yells. “What were you thinking?!”

Joe coughs before replying. “If I’m to continue in this fight, it won’t be in close combat like it will for you. You can’t afford to take that hit.”

“I’m going after him!” Emily shouts as she charges straight for Walno.

She slashes her sword at Walno many times, but he blocks all the hits with his mallet.

“How can he wield such a large mallet so easily?!” she shouts.

Walno hits her with his mallet, sending her flying back into a wall. She falls unconscious.

“Emily!” Kurt shouts before turning his attention back to Walno, his eyes narrowing and teeth gritting in anger. “You will pay for that!”

Walno has shown just what advanced level Item Manipulation Magic can do! Now, Kurt is angered! What must Kurt and Joe do to defeat Walno?!
