Chapter 139: Jacob vs Heimdall 3
The attack was otherwise known as , one that was created with the fusion of all natural elements and energy.
Jacob stood there with the large sphere in front of his face, he was prepared to end the battle with this one attack, Heimdall had been unable to touch him during the battle.
The spectators watched on, every single one of them at the edge of their seats, Heimdall already looked as though he were out of the fight. He could barely stand straight.
With a slight wave of his hand, Jacob sent the sphere of elemental energy flying towards the man. Heimdall watched with wide eyes, it was certain that if this attack connected, it would spell the end of the fight.
The force of the attack had been greatly increased from the shabby one that Zaheer managed to put together as a child, Jacob had refined the skill to perfection.
Heimdall was determined not to go out in that fashion. He watched on as the large sphere raced towards him at high speed, there was a new found glimmer of determination in his eyes.
Just as the attack was about to connect, Heimdall raised his hand and created a slash in the air with one swift movement. It wasn’t a slash through space and time. It was a single swift movement of his hand that mimicked a sword.
It was fast, and it was precise. It was a technique he called .
Basically it was the ability to cancel any Qi based attack.
The frightening aspect of this power is that Heimdall does not need to match the attack’s power. The stronger the projectile, the more impressive the cancellation appears, but strength itself is not the deciding factor. As long as the attack is fundamentally constructed from Qi and remains within the limits of Heimdall’s ability to perceive and affect, he can revoke it.
However, the technique has a crucial limitation.
It only worked on Qi that has been externalized.
Heimdall cannot simply revoke an opponent’s entire cultivation, nor can he erase the Qi within someone’s body. He cannot cancel a physical punch, a sword strike, or an attack that has already completely transformed into a purely physical phenomenon.
Jacob instantly got the description in his system interface and thought it impressive that this man could possess a technique like this.
’So essentially, any long range attack infused with Qi is useless against this man. Interesting.’ Jacob mused as he looked at the man.
It took almost no effort for Heimdall to cancel that attack in a single move. Jacob had grown curious.
He wanted to know the range of attacks Heimdall could cancel. ’Someone like Jaran would be useless against him.’
Jacob began to curate another long range attack, it was a simple light beam infused with the void element. Jacob was just interested to see how effective this skill was.
BOOM!
He blasted a shot towards Heimdall, a dark sphere coated in tiny flickers of light. Heimdall instantly cancelled the attack again with another slash.
"Your attacks won’t work on me Jacob." The man said, panting. He was still obviously affected by the barrage of attacks that Jacob had unleashed on him earlier.
"I like that skill, I’ll take it as well." Jacob told him.
The young man continued to unleash different forms of attacks against the man, but each one was met with a precise, calculated response, vanishing just before they could connect.
The spectators watched on, most of them could not believe the level at which this battle was unfolding in front of them.
Some of them had not even seen Heimdall employ this skill in all their years. It was a sight to behold.
’Don’t fucking disappoint me Heimdall.’ The Primarch thought to himself.
It would be very impartial for him to be seen clearly supporting one person over the other, especially since he was the one who orchestrated the battle. So he did his best to contain his emotions.
Jacob had a smirk plastered on his face, one that slowly turned into a wide, almost sinister grin as a thought flashed in his mind. He knew how to end this fight without anyone knowing what even happened.
Still he attacked, sending a barrage of red light beams towards Heimdall.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
About seven light beams flew relentlessly towards Heimdall but each one of them was met with a calm cancel, dissopating in the air before they even touched him.
Jacob thought to surprise the man, he had an ace up his sleeve that no one in the room would foresee.
He was frankly tired of using his arms to fight and wanted to do something that would shock everyone.
The Dao of Creation & Oblivion.
Not only could he create and forge materials and objects from scratch, he could also fully erase something from existence.
The plan was simple enough, he planned to erase Heimdall’s skill of completely and surprise him with again. The man would attempt to cancel it again but it wouldn’t work, and before he realized, it would be too late.
There was really a plethora of things he could do. He contemplated creating a contemporary weapon, like an RPG, then firing it at Heimdall. Since it wasn’t a Qi based attack, then it would definitely connect and create damage.
But he had already promised not to use any weapons of any kind. If he did use weapons, then the battle would be over a long time ago.
Heimdall stood in the distance, panting and holding his hand. Jacob could tell that the man’s left wrist was broken, and a rib was bruised based on how the man was standing.
Hence, why the man could no longer throw punches as freely as he did before. He was currently on the defensive, trying his best to keep Jacob as far away from him as possible.
’How do I even win from this standpoint. No! I can’t let him know he has me cornered, what is he smiling about?’ Too many thoughts raced through Heimdall’s mind as Jacob smiled at him.
