Chapter 159: White Fang (11)

~Jack POV~

*CLANG*

Clashing my Zanpakuto against Adam Wilt and Bush weapon seeing sparks from our clash while practicing my Six Powers out I have to admit he and the rest of his supporters will be really good stepping stones for my friends to grow up.

It was a shame that he killed off his men, but it was also a necessary move for Blake and hopefully the rest of my friends to learn that being a Huntsman and Huntresses will involve us handling these kinds of scenarios in the future.

I was lucky that I managed to hear their thoughts with <Telepathy> and give them each a show of what Adam is capable of and how deranged he seemed to them that's his past the point of redemption.

This is something I can manage well enough with Adam powered down back to his normal stats again giving me an actual challenge.

<Observe>.

----

AGI: 170

VIT: 140

INT: 90

WIS: 90

LUCK: 1

----

Adam may be a bit stronger than me and more reactive thanks to his AGI but I can certainly take him on using <Constant Speed> stacking it with <Power Augmentation> or <Aura Amp> will be a cakewalk.

But I do need the practice might as well use him for practice.

Using <Kami-e> to easily avoid Adam's sword strikes and movements followed by the counter or parry with my sword I can feel my own growth grow stronger using him to level up my own skills in the process.

[<Kami-e> LEVEL UP!]

[<Kami-e> LEVEL UP!]

[<Geppo> LEVEL UP!]

Seeing their level up fast and getting more used to it in combat I managed to get some distance away from Adam as he growls at me hatefully, "GRR…! WHY WON'T YOU STAND STILL AND DIE ALREADY!!"

Nope.

*WOOSH*

Lifting my leg up I began to release a <Rankyaku> releasing a condensed wind attack from my leg catching Adam by surprise as he moved away instead of absorbing it with his Semblance <Moonslice>.

[<Rankyaku> LEVEL UP!]

Charging up my spiritual energy to my Zanpakuto and beginning to charge up showing a bright royal blue shine on my blade I smirked at Adam getting his attention immediately, "Be careful what you say, or else you might just regret it. Sin."

*BOOM*

Activating my Zapakuto into its Shikai form revealing its the semi-true form I can see in front of me a screen telling me my AP bar tripled in size.

[Ding!]

[Due to unleashing your Shiaki form you're MAX AP has increased by *3 when you are equipped with your Zanpakuto!]

'I see you have done well in your training.'

That was when I heard the voice inside my head immediately recognizing it as the spirit of my Zanpakuto while I thought back readying my attack, 'Yeah… I finally got a good enough grasp of my <Spiritual Force Manipulation> and <Soul Manipulation>… however something tells me it's not good enough right?'

'Yes. You would be correct to assume that.'

Figures.

'No worries though all you need to do next is to simply use your spirit energy like it's a part of you like a weapon needing to be sharpened. Something that it seems like you are doing now.'

Yup.

Holding my charging attack is done I began to wave my Zanpakuto down in Adam's direction releasing a wave of spirit energy in an energy-based arc cutting attack at him with the intent to cut him down.

*SWOOSH*

[Ding!]

[You have created a skill!]

[Skill <Soul Energy Cutting> learned!]

"ARGH…!"

Adam tried to use <Moonslice> as he tried to absorb the oncoming <Soul Energy Cutting> into him while I took a good look at how my <Soul Energy Cutting> works.

Skill List.

----

<Soul Energy Cutting> (Active) Lv.1/100 Exp: 0.0%

AP Cost: Varies

Description: Uses soul energy to cut opponents. The user can project life/spirit energy in a way that allows them to cut through matter from a distance. Although this attack does usually slashing damage, some users are able to focus it into a single piercing stab like an immaterial bullet.

----

Returning my attention to Adam as he began to absorb the soul energy into him through his Wilt and Bush, he growls at me while the rest of his men began to get their wills to try and attack me immediately.

"For the captain!"

"Kill the human!"

"Will teach them their place!"

"For the White Fang!"

Not giving them my attention, I soon used a <Shadow Clone> to fight them off with him rushing towards them using <Soru> so as to not use up any of my AP on them.

Not a moment too soon my clone used <Shigan> to tear them down in seconds while using <Constant Speed> they soon have holes in their bodies as they scream in pain still alive, but they are bleeding heavily because of their wounds.

*BANG*

"AHH!"

[<Shigan> LEVEL UP!]

[You gain 45 EXP.]

[Fire Dust in <Deep Pockets>!]

*BANG*

"Shit…!"

[<Shigan> LEVEL UP!]

[You gain 25 EXP.]

[1000 Lien in <Deep Pockets>!]

*BANG*

"No…"

[<Shigan> LEVEL UP!]

[You gain 15 EXP.]

[White Fang Mask in <Deep Pockets>!]

No matter how many of them there are left standing they soon fell down since they couldn't respond to how fast my clone was and using basically the assassin technique of <Shigan> on them they didn't stand a chance at all.

I ignored the amount of EXP I got from the grunts while I take my time to grind.

This mission wasn't even serious much because of how outclassed they are compared to how many skills I have for just the right occasion but that doesn't mean I'll have my guard down around them.

Glancing at the train I see that Roman and Neo are fighting with Hazel trying to kill him.

At least they will distract him before the main crew arrives but…

*Snap*

*Zzzz*

Snapping my fingers using <Technology> to send a current of electricity into their Scrolls I got their contact info so I can call them later and find them.

Using my <Telepathy> I began to warn the two of them getting their attention soon enough when they heard my thoughts enter their heads, 'Roman… Neo… my team and fellow Huntsmans and Huntresses are coming now. You two need to run away unless you want me to capture you for real and send you to prison for life. The deal still stands Neo, but I want to make a new deal with Roman at a later date. So, run now.'

Neo and Roman both looked at me and, in the distance, they soon see Winter using her <Summoning> with a flying Grimm and Glynda flying with her using <Telekinesis> in with Qrow in his bird form.

No sooner Neo used her <Overactive Imagination> to create a physical illusion and with Hazel punching it only for glass to break with me hearing Neo thoughts, 'Thanks… I want to kill Hazel and make him pay… but live and fight another day. So long as my friend is safe then it doesn't matter.'

*Crack*

The glass breaks down with me hearing Roman final thoughts while they are high-tailed and run away, 'I hate owing favors. Especially to kids and especially you… But… guess I owe you for the heads up and not get captured.'

Agreeing with that my attention to Adam as he growls laughing hysterically as he spoke out getting everyone's attention, "ARGH!! GRR...! DIE YOU FILTHY HUMAN SCUM!!!"

Making a quick motion I used <Power Augmentation> and <Constant Speed> with everything turning slow down with me frowning when he was about to release the stored energy of the spirit energy to unleash his <Moonslice>.

At the train.

A train filled with Dust that is highly reactive to spirit energy or aura that will no doubt blow us all up to kingdom come.

Sigh…

Seeing no choice I brought my Zanpakuto close to Adam's neck frowning at this speaking too fast for anyone to hear and to see while I'm a blur to them, "Sigh… you disappoint me very much. If only you could become a real leader letting, go of your hate you really could've been someone that made the difference… "

*Shing*

One slash attack to the neck with my Zanpakuto easily cut through his aura like nothing because the nature of the weapon aura or spirit energy meant nothing to it.

*Thud*

With the perception of time returning to normal again sheathing my Zanpakuto and inactivating its Shikai form with Adam's head rolling off from his body stopping his attack completely from targeting the train his body soon fell down making the Qrow, Winter, and Glynda questioned gaze on me.

[LEVEL UP!]

Sigh….

Not the time or place man.

Gazing at the Huntsman and Huntresses I'm so going to get an earful of this.

Hopefully letting Hazel run away would allow me to let my clones tail him leading back to Salem's homeland base since I'm having a hard time finding it.

But if you allow one rat to go it would eventually go back to the nest.

And I plan to take full abuse when I find Salem's home base on the Grimm lands and when I get a Relic to stop time well…

I'm not going to argue having free high-level enemies stuck in a place frozen in time allowing me to beat them all up without the need for them fighting back grinding free EXP for me to gain and oh?

Yeah… I should really deal with SDC CEO Jacques soon enough.

It is better to start operations and take over dealing with all my enemies one by one especially with Team SMMK or I could just simply pay them more oh no wait.

I have better ideas of how to plan this if I have the time for now I got to deal with this first.
