The Primal Hunter
Chapter 708
Jake kept Minaga at a distance as he continuously retreated and took potshots at the Unique Lifeform, who had no way of fighting at long range without his magic. At the same time, Jake heard from the Fallen King that the entire labyrinth Minaga had summoned seemed spatially expanded, making it a nightmare to get through. He did try to blast walls apart, and while he did have some success, it appeared slower than simply rushing through as fast as possible. Jake did want to simply summon him again, but doing so was a huge strain on the Fallen King. Doing it once was fine, but more than that could have less-than-desirable consequences. So he fought alone.
Minaga handled Jake’s barrage of arrows extremely well, but he still couldn’t block everything. Jake had gotten good at shooting tricky arrows that curved to hit where the Unique Lifeform moved to dodge or curve around the staff raised to block it. His opponent was obviously also aware of this as he stopped chasing and stood still while looking at Jake with raised eyebrows.
“Heh, while I can’t do normal magic right now… you do realize you are standing on the magic circle, right?” Minaga grinned as the ground below him began to glow, and the entire formation slightly shifted.
Just as Jake stepped down, he felt like the entire world had become heavier. At least when it came to using One Step, as he realized space had been constricted. What’s more, Minaga seemed to slightly shrink the arena, giving Jake less and less space to work with.
Minaga once more gave chase, Jake no longer able to teleport, making it significantly harder to get proper distance. Three times, Jake barely avoided getting caught until the fourth one forced him to switch away from his bow. Both katars appeared as the nature of the battle changed. Jake accepted this as he dove into melee, dodging under a staff sweep to go for a stab. Minaga was quick and stepped back as he countered, Jake countering the counter as the staff slammed into the ground.
He managed to land a quick stab on the Unique Lifeform’s arm but was hit with an elbow strike in return, making him stumble back. Gritting his teeth, Jake re-engaged again, pushing the Unique Lifeform even more aggressively than before. His strikes were vicious, and Minaga found himself getting slowly pushed back by Jake’s ferocity.
Several minor wounds were exchanged, but neither side could land any meaningful hits. Jake kept pressing, picking up speed as his katars struck dozens of times a second, putting Minaga more and more on the defensive.
“I do find it odd you are so focused on the bow… not gonna lie, you strike me as more talented as a melee fighter,” Minaga said, as he tried and failed to hit Jake with his staff. With his second staff, he did manage to force Jake to disengage for a brief moment as both of them jumped back, giving Minaga more space to talk.
“It’s like you’ve spent far more time training your melee capabilities than your skill with a bow. Don’t get me wrong, you are mean with a bow too, but you don’t exude the same kind of pressure as you do right now. This is like having a wild beast going crazy at you, yet without the usual downsides of such a bestial fighting strategy due to your ridiculous reaction times and pure instinct,” Minaga kept talking as he landed on the platform more than fifty meters away, Jake already charging over.
“I could see you walk the Path without having ever encountered the bow… perhaps for the better. Or not. Who is to tell?” Minaga kept pondering as he prepared for Jake’s attack.
Jake didn’t comment on anything Minaga said but kept sprinting. He knew there was some truth to Minaga’s words, but he didn’t have the time nor the desire to think about things like that in the middle of a fight like this.
“Also… you seem to be misunderstanding one thing. While it is true that I cannot use any magic right now,”Minaga began as he lifted his staff above his head. It began glowing with power as his aura spiked for a moment before he finished. “This isn’t classified as magic.”
Reacting to his danger sense, Jake leaped to the side just in time as Minaga smashed the staff down, the entire area he had just been in exploding from the sheer force of the Unique Lifeform’s swing. His eyes landed on Minaga just as the glow from his boosting skill seemed to change. Minaga smiled as he leaned forward and stepped down.
The ground erupted from his step, sending Minaga flying straight for Jake. Without hesitation, Jake bent his back as a staff swept over where his head had just been, a shockwave of pure force released from the swing. The other staff descended from above right after, Jake barely managing to slip by it.
