New Ability- Metal Shapeshifting

"So, is this where that bitch went?"

A tall man with a big mustache looked at his henchman and asked. He was wearing a red t-shirt over his massive body.

He looked like a buff dude who regularly goes to the gym. There was a bull tattoo on his arm.

"Yes, boss! We saw her going toward this direction." The henchman shivered as he replied.

"Then, she must have gone to the next port. Let's go! I can't let someone kill the people under me and live."

The tall man with a big mustache spoke with a cold expression on his face.

When they reached the next port, many people were waiting on the shore.

He turned his head at his henchman and asked.

"So, where is she?"

There were a lot of girls so he didn't know much about his enemy.

With his strength, he didn't bother to care whether his enemy was strong or not.

He sternly believed that his strength was the strongest in this whole region.

"Boss, there she is." The henchman pointed his finger at the edge of the river and spoke.

He was pointing at Hina but there were two people next to her.

"Let's go!" He nodded his head and walked toward them.

When the people waiting at the beach saw him, they immediately frowned. Most of them recognized him through his tattoo and immediately walked away from him.

But, Hina and his group were completely unknown to him.

When they saw him coming toward them, they frown. Hina's eyes fell on the tattoo man's henchman and she immediately recognized him.

"Shin, they seem to be related to that bandit."

"It seems like they came for revenge." Barry held the hilt of his sword and spoke with a solemn expression. He was ready to attack the moment Shin gives him the order.

Shin didn't speak. He just stared at them.

The tattooed man walked in front of them and looked at Shin with a gloomy expression.

"Boy, it seems like you are the leader of that girl. She killed one of my men. So, how do you want to compensate me?"

While speaking, his eyes fell on Hina. Looking at her blasting figure and beautiful face, he just wanted her as compensation.

"Do you want to die?"

Shin didn't care about his strength. He simply raised his eyes and stared at the man with killing intent when that man looked at Hina with such intention.

"Bastard, how dare you threaten us?"

Before the man could speak, his henchman shouted at Shin and swung his blade. Standing next to his boss, his blade was quite close to Shin.

Splash!

Before even his blade could reach Shin, a sword suddenly unsheathed and slashed at an extreme speed.

"Argh!"

A long slash mark appeared on that henchman's chest as he fell to the ground.

"This is my last warning. Leave!"

Shin wasn't a murderous man so he didn't want to kill these bandits. As long as the people do not mess with him, he wouldn't kill them.

So, he decided to warn him again. But, he knew it would be useless.

The next moment, that tattooed man raised his hand, and a strange blue needle appeared in front of him.

"Bastard, die!"

He immediately targeted Shin as he swung his hand. The needle flew toward Shin who was simply a few inches away from him.

Ding!

The needle was extremely fast but when it collided, it didn't even leave a mark on his face.

'50MB, huh! Metal Shapeshifting. Let's see what kind of ability is this.'

Shin thought to himself as he quickly saw the tattooed man retreating.

"Damn it! How could my metal not work against him? No, if I concentrate more physical energy into my ability, I will be able to condense bigger and sharper needles."

The tattooed man muttered and immediately raised his hand.

He opened his palm and a large blue glow appeared in front of him. Subsequently, three more glows appeared and they formed a square in front of his palm.

From that square, a large needle emerged that immediately flew toward Shin.

Seeing this, Shin didn't dare to be careless. He was close to the tattooed man so he gathered Qi into his palm and released a spark.

The spark condensed flame around his palm. This flame was controlled by him so it formed a barrier around his palm.

[Magnus Shield]

Bang!

The large needle collided against the barrier with extreme force, releasing a powerful spark of energy.

"Ahh!" The tattooed man sensed his needle slowly losing its momentum so he focused his spiritual energy on the needle and tried to push it with his spiritual energy.

'Huh? What kind of ability is that? Why am I not getting any notifications? Or, is it the same as Metal Shapeshifting? No way, Metal Shapeshifting should be simply condensing metal out of his energy and changing its shape.'

Shin paused for a moment and shook his head. He didn't believe that the tattooed man's Metal Shapeshifting could do more than simply change its shape.

But, he still didn't get any notification from the system which made him frown.

He focused his mind on the Magnus Shield which allowed him to block the attack but because it was being pushed by him constantly, the shield slowly collapsed.

Ding!

When the needle struck his body, it had already lost all of its power. But, this gave that Tattooed man hope to kill Shin.

"Haha! As long as I can keep making powerful attacks, I can kill you."

The tattooed man condensed another blue square with the help of his physical energy.

His ability allowed him to condense any kind of metal with his thought but because the metal was condensed out of his energy, it was weak.

The only way he could utilize it was by making it sharper or bigger.

But, his ability had one uniqueness.

Not only he could utilize his physical energy but also his spiritual energy. That means he was able to condense Qi, it's just that he didn't know how to merge them.

Even so, he was quite clever in using his spiritual energy as a telekinesis power. It's just that it only works on the metal he condenses.

Otherwise, he would have used iron to create much deadlier attacks.

He forced physical energy into his palms and condensed nearly five big-sized needles.

It's just that he was taking too long to create it.

Seeing this, Shin didn't panic instead his lips curled.

"Hehe! I don't know why you are giving me so much time to use my attack but thanks. Now, you can die."

A big grin appeared on the tattooed man's face when he saw his attack finishing up. He immediately shouted at Shin and released those needles.

"Tch! Tch! Is that guy so scared to move? If he hadn't given his opponent any time to prepare, he could've won. Now, he can only wait for death."

Passerby A clicked his tongue and sneered.

"Well, this must be his first fight. Unfortunately, his pants aren't wet or else, I would've suspected that he had already peed."

Passerby B also spoke to him with disdain in his tone.

"It's interesting. What exactly is he planning?"

Unlike those passersby, a man far away was able to see through Shin's calm mood. From his previous ability, he knew that this man had the power to condense and manipulate flame.

But, he wasn't using it. From the way he used his flame, he could see that the man wasn't an idiot. So, he was quite curious as to why that man wasn't using his flame.

Barry and Hina care about his silence. They simply focused on tattooed man henchmen. After all, there were quite a few of them.

It's just that they weren't attacking for some reason.

When the needles reached closer to Shin, he raised his palm and Qi condensed into his fingers.

[Crimson Bullets]

With a single sparkle, the flame burst out of his fingers in a straight line. Five fingers pleased five streaks of fire that were condensed into a cylindrical beam.

Boom!

Those five beams collided against those needles and exploded, releasing a powerful impact and flame.

The impact sent away those needles while the flame immediately spread out and covered Shin.

The tattooed man was a bit far away from the explosion so it didn't affect him. When he saw Shin breaking his attack so easily, he froze for a moment but when flame engulfed him, his expression changed.

"Haha! Die from your own attack."

A big grin appeared on his face as he shouted. But, suddenly a sharp glint appeared on that flame.

Whoosh!

A figure dashed out of the flame like a bolt of light. His speed was extremely fast as he reached in front of the tattooed man in a mere second.

He raised his finger and condensed Qi into it. He pushed his finger forward and pierced the tattooed man's chest.

[Finger Pistol]

"Thank you for your ability"

When that man heard those words, he died in confusion. He didn't understand what he meant.

Only Shin saw a new panel in front of his eyes and a big smile appeared on his face.
