Chapter 283 Battle of Creativity

"Let's start with a testing round." Adam put his hand forward, aiming it at Ambrose. "I'll attack; you defend."

"All right..." Ambrose looked at his hands and moved his fingers while thinking about what he should do to defend himself.

"Don't think too hard!" Adam shouted with a grin. "Be fast and creative!"

From the palm of his hand, a chain made of strange material shot out and slashed through the air like a flying snake. It neared Ambrose and wrapped around his neck, choking him.

'Ah, shit!' Ambrose tried to rip the chain but greatly lacked the strength to do so.

It didn't even take a second for the chain to reach him, so he wasn't ready for that kind of speed.

"You think too much." Adam closed his hand, and the chain disappeared into pixels, leaving Ambrose panting loudly and gasping for air.

"This is different from normal fighting." He mentioned. "The swordsmanship skills you have learned don't mean anything in here."

"All right..." Ambrose took a deep breath and then opened his eyes, a serious glint in them. He was able to think of a few ways of defending himself, but he was too occupied thinking about what the best solution would have been.

Now, he decided to just use his instincts.

"Ready to begin?" Adam asked.

"I am." Ambrose put his hand forward and said, "I'll start."

"Interesting..." The corners of Adam's mouth lifted upward.

Ambrose closed his eyes and imagined a creation inside his mind. It was a creation he had seen in the real world's movies, which left a deep impression on him.

At his hand, a black pistol appeared, a perfect replica of a weapon that had become a symbol of death and suffering.

Ambrose then imagined that there was a bullet in the chamber and pointed it at Adam.

"What is that?" Adam frowned, as he had never seen anything like that before.

This was where Ambrose's advantage came into play.

Adam was only knowledgeable about Martial Online and its weapons. However, Ambrose was from another world, which had way more advanced weapons and technology.

Ambrose put his finger on the trigger and smiled. "Bang."

Bang—as he pulled the trigger, a bullet explosively left the barrel and flew like a homing missile towards its target.

The loud sound made both Ambrose and Adam flinch.

Ambrose because he had never fired a gun before, and the recoil surprised him and Adam because he wasn't aware of what this strange weapon could do.

However, he could see that it was nearing him at even greater speed than the chain!

Adam knew he had to act fast.

Adam lifted his finger to the ceiling, and the wall rose from the ground in an instant, creating a barrier between him and the bullet.

However, to his surprise, the bullet shredded through the wall like a knife through hot butter.

His eyes shrank, but the bullet grazed past his cheek and slammed into one of the pillars that were holding the ceiling in place.

However, when he turned around to see how the pillar was faring, he was shocked to see a small hole, as even the pillar wasn't able to withstand the force of the bullet.

"What the hell?" Adam made the wall disappear and saw Ambrose holding a smoking weapon. "What is this weapon?"

"Your turn." Ambrose smiled, as he didn't want to answer, and made the gun disappear into floating pixels.

Adam frowned and focused his gaze on his hand. He then created a similar-looking pistol and pointed it at Ambrose. n).o(/v-.E--l.)b-)1-.n

Ambrose's eyes narrowed, and his body tensed.

However, when Adam pulled the trigger, nothing happened.

"Eh?" Adam frowned and looked at the barrel. He then remembered that there was some kind of projectile that flew out of the barrel.

To copy that, he created a marble inside the barrel and again pointed the pistol at Ambrose.

He pulled the trigger, but like before, nothing worked.

Ambrose heaved a sigh of relief and thought. 'Of course it wouldn't work for him. He is nowhere knowledgeable enough to know the technology behind the pistol.

'It's like he created a wooden pistol and thought it would work the same. I have never fired a firearm in my life before and never learned all its parts, etc., but I still know how a pistol works, and that was enough for me to create one based on my memory.'

"Whatever." Adam made the fake pistol vanish, clenched his hand into a fist, and then pointed it at the ceiling.

Pixels began to gather in the air, and after turning into solid matter, they were a bunch of tiny rocks that were getting glued to each other.

As more and more rocks began to appear, they formed a massive boulder of over a million tiny pebbles and rocks.

"Ahhh!" Adam screamed loudly as if he had difficulty moving his arm, but eventually managed to point it at Ambrose.

The enormous boulder shot forward towards Ambrose and cast a big enough shadow to cover him in darkness.

Ambrose swiped his hand, and a metal vault appeared around him. It locked him inside among fake crown bills. This was a vault he had seen in one of the movies he had watched.

The movies followed a group of thugs that planned to rob a bank, and this vault was from that very bank that eventually got robbed.

As the boulder struck the vault, it caused an enormous dent on the side, but otherwise, Ambrose was left unharmed.

He then made the vault disappear and saw that the boulder was shattered around him, with a million rocks scattered around the temple.

"You are indeed Reinhardt's disciple..." Adam laughed like he was having great fun. "Only a disciple of someone like him can create such never-seen-before things!"

'I feel like the misunderstanding is getting bigger.' Ambrose sighed and then snapped his fingers.

In front of him, a turret with a machine gun mounted on top appeared from the pixels. It was a sight to behold, especially in this world where such technology was unheard of.

Adam narrowed his eyes and felt his honed senses screaming danger.

"Fire." Ambrose whispered.

The turret began to rotate, and then it fired a barrage of bullets. The bullets shredded through the ground and the pillars like an unstoppable force of nature.

As Adam saw everything around him crumble and fall, he knew that he had to act fast. This was danger like no other.

"The best defense is attack!" Adam smashed his fist to the ground, unleashing a powerful shockwave that shook the foundation of Soulscape.

Then, the platform split in half, creating an enormous ravine that split the whole temple in half.

Ambrose quickly began floating; otherwise, he would have fallen to the pit of darkness.

However, the turret wasn't as lucky and fell into the abyss while still shooting the bullets towards everything around it.

"My turn!" Adam, while floating in the air, pointed at the sky and created a miniature sun.

However, it was still around ten meters in diameter and was not as powerful as the real sun, but it still caused the vegetation around Soulscape to burn to ashes.

"You plan on destroying this place or what?!" Ambrose shouted.

"It's fine!" Adam laughed happily. "All will be fixed next time when we come here. So, destroy as much as you want!"

"Is that so?" Ambrose grinned and pointed at the sky. "How will you fare with this? I wonder."

"?" Adam had a very bad feeling as an object appeared in the air that, at first, was only a small black dot in the distance.

However, it was falling from the sky with increasing speed and size.

Tick, tick, tick—inside the object, something ticked like a clock as it hurtled towards the ground.

As it became visible enough for Adam to catch a proper glimpse, he frowned and asked. "What is this?"

Ambrose looked at the object and smiled. "A nuke."
