"Ha Ha, you are better than the others. Didn''t think that you would be able to reach my blind spot somehow."


    Colt smirked as he rose from his knees pulling off his shirt. The armor that was now half destroyed didn''t have much use on his body either. As he got it off, few orifices where the protrusions had been stuck were revealed as blood tickled out from the same.??


    What''s more? His body was chiseled unlike what might have been expected. It portrayed the diligence of his hard work. Indeed Klutz''s assessment had been right all along.


    One must note that not everyone in hell necessarily had to have such a body structure. This was especially true for the second gen. For in the world of hell magic exists unlike the tutorial zone.


    While it was always true that the residents of hell who had ess to magic had high explosive power but such a power came at a cost. They who had received powers through easier means refused to focus on training and building up their own defences.


    After all, what was the point in having strong reflexes if one can just cast a magic barrier and be done with that alone? It wasn''t like their physical reflexes were going to be any better an optionpared to the magic that they could use, no matter how much they trained.


    But utz knew better. It was such people that had the highest mortality rates, in hell.


    In hell, nothing can be guaranteed, nothing ever goes as nned in this ursed world. With them being reliant on their magic alone with no backup n, they be the fodder for the strong when things start to go south.


    This was the very reason why utz always chose to be prepared with a n B.


    Colt''s strong reflexes pointed that he was also vested in hand to handbat which was a raritypared to the other spoon fed second gens. A clear difference in attitude despite currently having the same strength as others would be going a long way for Colt.


    utz nodded. Little did he know that he couldn''t have been more wrong.


    ''I wonder who he is.''


    One must note that utz had not yet identified his opponent. As such, he, who knew about Colt''s worthless future, would have surely been surprised at such findings.


    ''What led to the downfall of the current Colt to his future drunkard state?'' That would have been a question utz would have surely asked himself.


    Indeed nothing was absolutely definable in hell. The person with boundless talent and who seemed to have a bright future ahead would be the first one to fall. Such was a fate that awaited those who were unprepared.


    ''He is even using such a powerful explosive enchantment in his armor. Who does he fear to be taking such extreme means?''


    Weapons and armors with passive skills or active ones have always been popr in the markets of hell.


    But there was also a second ss of weapons. It was the enchanted ones. Unlike the weapons with skills that were obtained from trials. These weapons were handmade, one imbued with an enchantment by an enchanter. They didn''t have a skill but they had such enchantments to make up for it.


    Not to mention that they were a bit cheaper than those weapons which were salvaged from trials by ying on one''s life.


    ''But that''s more of a general scenario,'' utz reminisced. ''Even the markets of hell are known to be highly vtile.''


    When death is all around you so much so that it has be amon thing in the world, nothing can be stabilized. The death of an influential merchant or enchanter was enough to throw the market into a frenzy making prices rise to sky high! After all, it was the enchanters who created the weapons.


    Take the explosive enchantment for example. It wasn''t really a skill. In fact it was a double edged sword. The enchantment exploded as soon as urtz''s de got close enough to the armor to throw him away.


    It was a weapon meant to counter an assassination from a ninja. Such an event could only make utz wonder as to who would threaten to assassinate the current Colt.


    ''The Ninja viges don''t usually don''t work by themselves when ites to political matters. They would have probably avoided a second gen at all costs just like Akihiko did unless someone paid them for a mission.'' utz thought as he recalled how reluctant Akihiko was to employ Maebi to aid utz because of the existence of the second gen.


    utz wasn''t too annoyed by the existence of such an armor. Being a second gen it was understandable if they had some cards up their sleeve. But he certainly hadn''t expected such strong measures.


    The extent of the explosion could be altered by the enchanter. To block utz''s attack a small explosion would have sufficed, but the explosion he had received was something that was the very limit of what Colt''s body could bear as a bacsh.


    But even that hadn''t prevented it from his back being charred ck. Colt was being as meticulous and careful as he could be.


    ''Is there a threat to his life?'' utz pondered.


    While utz was deep in thought but unlike him Colt didn''t think much about the oue. He indeed was intrigued at utz sudden increase in speed out of nowhere but he didn''t pry on it further. In his dictionary it wasn''t suspicious.


    There were tons of trial grounds in a newbie area and it wouldn''t be odd for a newbie to get a ss that increases their speed for a split second or so.


    Indeed, Colt had mistaken utz''s actual speed as something that was provided by a momentary boost due to a skill.
