Star Citizen Online: Isekai Edition

Chapter 107: Anti-Psion Knight

Seeing that his opponent was Anti-Psion Knight, Arcturus knew that he needed to completely adjust and change his battle strategy towards Jeniael, or else he would lose the sparring match.

Her swordsmanship was also very superb; from what he could tell, she was training in combat since she was little and had very strong talent and aptitude towards it. It was no wonder that weapon mastery was the only thing that remained for her.

In fact, she was in a rather particular position and diidn't have many other options for getting stronger because her Psyker Ability, while being at the Super-High Risk Grade, wasn't something that gave her high combat prowess out of nowhere.

Due to this, Jeniael needed to go through a lot of hardships to achieve the combat prowess that she had right now.

She chose the hardest thing one could do, which was to walk the Path of the Ancient Body Refiners, which has been almost non-existent for the Warrior Profession since the creation of the Gene Enhancement Serums.

Not many would go to the ancient methods of Body Tempering after the invention of the Gene Enhancement Serums because using the Genetic Enhancement Serums was extremely easy and straightforward.

Not to mention, Warriors that were still using the old methods, even though it was generally accepted that the old methods of Body Tempering were far more superior to the Genetic Enhancement Serum, it was also something that just a tiny portion of people were able to complete.

It was very clear to the Arcturus, that for Jeniael to become a Warrior using the ancient Body Tempering Methods, meant that she was extremely talented in this area, and it also meant that she had extremely powerful willpower and was determined to succeed at any cost.

Obviously, many people, and even many geniuses, for the Warrior Professional were tired of walking through the Body Tempering Methods and using the ancient methods to become Warriors, but most of them gave up.

In the end, due to the arduousness and difficulties that one faced the problems when using the ancient Body Tempering Methods, most of the people who attempted to use them would give up and switch to the Genetic Enhancement Serums due to their bonuses.

Even though the Genetic Enhancement Serums were categorically weaker than the ancient Body Tempering Methods, they were far easier and more straightforward. There were no complicated situations or anything; one just needed to inject the Genetic Enhancement Serum into their body.

As easy as it could get.

So a certain part of him felt admiration for her because he knew that he himself wouldn't have such strong conviction to become so dedicated to the ancient Body Tempering and even practice it since she was a child.

That was something that only a few people in each galaxy could boast about because it wasn't for everyone. Not to mention, the ancient Body Tempering Methods were rather costly, because they required a lot of resources and everything that was something that only the rich could shoulder.

"And you walked on the path of the ancient Body Tempering, till now?"

Arcturus asked as he looked at Jeniael, who gave him a nod of her head.

It wasn't any kind of secret, and any person with good brains and learned well would be able to tell that she was someone who was using the ancient Body Tempering Methods on the pathway of the Warrior.

"Yeah, coupled with the Holy Judgement of God and my sword skills, I can basically become a nightmare to any Psyker or Psionics. And against the other Warriors, I am physically far more superior to them, so I can outperform them and defeat them rather easily. With the basic Enhancement Techniques, I can boost my physical strength to match that of the Warriors one Grade higher than me."

Hearing what she said, it was indeed true that she was born with a rather unique situation that could be called Anti-Thesis to the Psionics and Psykers alike when she developed her abilities to greater heights.

Not only that, but she would also be much stronger than other Warriors of the same grade, mainly due to the sheer fact that she was so skilled with the sword and was also learning to use the Holy Judgement of God in close combat.

However, though, that would be very problematic because the Holy Judgment of God, while being incredibly powerful and especially versatile Super-High Risk Psyker Ability when it came to pure non-psionic close combat, it was weak in that area.

Obviously, there was also another way he could still use the Godslayer Sword Style, but that was something that Arctururus refrained from because using the Slayer Force in the sparring match against Jeniael seemed to be pretty dangerous. .net

While he didn't really hesitate to use it against Master Nassain during his Admission Tests, the main reason for that was the fact that Master Nassain was already a peak Sigma-Grade Warrior and master combatant who could deal with it if something went wrong.

Jeniael wasn't, and he wasn't betting on some trump cards to deal with it. Thus, the Dimension Empyrean seemed to be a bit safer option compared to the Slayer Force, which was too aggressive and volatile to be used in the sparring match.

So, he used the Dimension Empyrean's ability, Dimension Lost as he summoned the Empyrean Mist all around the sparring ring.

The Empyrean Mist had strong weakening effects on anyone that was in its vicinity, but at the same time, due to the presence of the Holy Judgement of God, Jeniael was able to create a protective layer around her body, which was blocking the Empyrean Mist and thus the weakening effect.

At the same time, this was also the goal that he wanted to see. Arcturus knew that the Empyrean Mist would be technically speaking ineffective on Jeniael, yet at the same time, it would force her to be constantly using the Holy Judgement of God to protect herself from the Empyrean Mist.

That would mean she would be tired very soon, and it wouldn't be long before she started running out of Psionic Energy. And once she ran out of the Psionic Energy, she wouldn't be able to sue the Holy Judgement of God at all, and that would result in her immediate defeat.

The greatest downside of the Super-High Risk Psyker Abilities was the consumption of Psionic Energy, which was tremendous. Some of the unlucky Psykers, especially those from common backgrounds that were not bred to be perfect, like the generation and generation of the Psykers before they were doing, found themselves in this predicament.

One of the worst things that could happen to a Psyker was to be born with powerful Psyker Ability, yet at the same time, being born with small reserves of the Psionic Energy and thus not being able to support the output of the Psionic Energy that was needed by the Psyker to maintain usage of the Psyker Ability for the prolonged amount of time.

Even for the Psykers with huge reserves of the Psionic Energy, it often represented a problem.

Thus, when the plan started forming, Arcturus switched to the saving mode, as the only thing that he was doing was preserving his power while trying to drag out the fight for as long as possible so Jeniael would use all of her Psionic Energy.

Obviously, the young white-haired woman realized what Arcturus's plan was, but unfortunately for her, there were really not many ways for her to counter it, if there were any.

Unfortunately for her, it was more than clear that his Physical Dimensions, albeit inferior to hers, were not that inferior to the point so she could just push him down.

At the same time, his combat skills, were even superior to her own, so she couldn't use her own martial skills to obtain an advantage in the combat.

This was a really precarious situation for Jeniael because it indeed seemed hopeful, and she knew that unless she managed to defeat Arcturus as soon as possible, she would either die from exhaustion or from being defeated by Arcturus directly.

Not only did Jeniael realize this, but Arcturus was also aware of this fact and knew that in the upcoming moments, she would do everything in her power to defeat him as soon as possible, and thus, she immediately started moving toward him at a really fast speed.

At the same time, she decided to bet all of her chances on the upcoming offensive of hers and thus decided to use the Holy Judgement of God. With the Holy Judgement of God brimming with the golden color, she started slashing her sword toward him at a faster rate than any time before.

Arcturus grinned a bit, as he was rather entertained by it, as he kept increasing the density and amount of the Empyrean Mist through the Dimension Lost, which in turn forced Jeniael to spend more and more of her Psionic Energy on the Holy Judgement of God as she needed to negate the Empyrean Mist.

He could see with visible eyes that her Psionic Energy was being burned at a very fast pace because the Empyrean Mist wasn't some ordinary Psyker Ability or Psionic Art, but it was something that was made from the Super-High Risk Psyker Ability.

Arcturus vaguely understood how the Holy Judgment of God worked, and he knew that the stronger the Psionic Art or the Psyker Ability was, the harder it became to use the Holy Judgement of God to Judge and dispose of the attack.

Obviously, Judging, something that was made from the Dimension Empyrean, wasn't easy to destroy. Arcturus mostly defended while occasionally counterattacking Jeniael, who was becoming weaker with each passing moment due to the lack of Psionic Energy.

According to his calculations, he would still need a few more minutes until her Psionic Energy reserves were entirely exhausted, and she would be essentially on his mercy because he would be able to use the Psionics and Dimension Empyrean without fear of it being destroyed.
