Chapter 181: Combat Suit Battle!
"I want the coordinates of every person that is assumed to have at least 20,000 Relic gold on them." Lucian was straight forward in his request without beating around the bush.
Stranger "..."
The voice was silent for a few seconds but when the seem to notice that Lucian was serious in his request, it said.
"Will take a while to gather. But the cost, I'm not sure you can afford it."
Lucian snorted "That's for me to decide, name your price."
"50,000 Relic gold."
"Why don't you just go rob the school's bank. 20,000 Relic gold!" Lucian almost shouted out loud.
"That's the lowest price I can give. The struggles in finding the location will need us to dispatch our people to actively search for them, honestly, that process alone will take up the majority of amount you will pay. So either you agree with that or get lost.." the voice grunted.
This elicited a frown from Lucian. "When do I get a it?"
"Just pay half upfront, we will send the information to you in the next 30 minutes and you can pay the other half." The voice said.
Gritting his teeth, Lucian opened his interface, tapped on the options selection and chose to transfer 50,000 Relic gold to the connection.
"We have seen the money, will call you in a while." the voice said plainly and was about to cut the connection.
Lucian sneered and he said "Don't pretend not to know. I didn't send 25,000 more by mistake, I prefer to either go all out when I'm doing something or not participate at all. Going half way in and another half way in isn't my style. I've sent you the full payment, I expect to be given correct information.
Just send me the coordinates in 30 minutes, I will be waiting." Those were Lucian's last words and he severed the connection.
Since they were in an event, the students were given only one opportunity to call and afterwards, their call would be automatically disconnected.
According to his command, the strength magnifier made a few noises and then retracted back to form only a spine like rod which stayed stuck in Lucian's back.
If he wished, it would take just a second to activate the equipment. It couldn't be considered too long and neither could it be considered too short.
"Now, for the next target." Lucian locked his lips and he randomly chose a direction and dashed forwards.

"If this is all you've got, you shouldn't have come here." Roland shouted as he breathed heavily in the distance.
His face was flushed, blood spilled out of the corners of his mouth and his muscles bulged and constricted slowly like a living dragon.
Phyllida was opposite him, also breathing heavily. The jacket she had used to cover her skin tight combat suit had been shredded to pieces. There were a few scratches on combat suit. Claw marks on her bulging chests and a few in her stomach.
Phyllida chuckled slightly "If that's what you want. Remember you asked for this."
She suddenly shouted in a low voice "Activate Second form."
Suddenly, terrifying amount of nanobots swarm out of her back like water and then into her hands.
At first, it formed a handle of somesort and afterwards the swarm of nanobots gathered together in her palm, forming a long and sharp sword.
It was as though the swords grew out from her arm.
Roland's face turned grave but then he sneered "I have long since made preparations for this."
Shouting in a low voice "Activate second form."
From seemingly no where at all, swarms of nanobots climbed onto him and then reached his palms, finally forming a similar long and sharp swords.
It was unknown where both of them had gotten the Nano weapon from but it seems to come from similar origins as their form seem to be identical to each other.
Nano weapons like the name implies means weapons formed out of nano bots.
On a normal circumstances, cold weapons like swords, axe and the like are usually made from steel, iron and other metals but as humanity evolved and different skills and combat techniques began to surface, those metal weapon doesn't seem to be enough anymore.
Iron swords are to stiff to vibrate in a particular frequency, which was one of the method to utilize combat techniques.
For example, the Nine-Chain Slash. It requires one to oscillate their wrist nine times at a particular frequency, delivering nine consecutive blows with increasing attack power.
But an iron sword or particularly swords made up of metals are to stiff an plain to follow the wrist to perform such intricate and delicate technique.
Instead, it's stiff body might allow one to make the mistake of oscilating the wrist and muscles at the wrong frequency which might in turn led to a grave injury.
Which brings us to Nano Weapons. Nano bots are configured and programed to stay in only two forms.
The main form which is the active form has been programmed and calibrated by different experts.
If one where to look into the inner sword from of a nanoswarm, one would see some sort of meridian or passage had also been built in it allowing for easy oscillatory and circulatory techniques.
If one where to bend it at will, it was as strong as a regular steel sword. But when one shook it at specific frequency, the sword would strangely also shake at that particular frequency, allowing for easy lethal damage to be dished out as one liked.
As both stood still, staring at each other, neither of them knew any sword techniques but since the sword respond to any frequency regardless of whether it was sword art related or not, it was still somewhat usable.
Boom!
The ground crumbled and an energy releasing sound emerged from Roland's pocket, to the strength magnifier, increasing his strength by one fold.
He was very fast and with lighting quivk strike, he slashed down at Phyllida's head with not a single hint of mercy in his gaze.
Clang!
