Chapter 120 Chapter 120 – Collecting
For the next couple of minutes, the two of them jumped from building to building.
Eventually, Manela stopped, and Nick looked at the place in front of him.
Ruins.
They were standing on the highest building around, which was four stories high. In front of them were half-destroyed and completely destroyed houses for nearly fifty meters.
Even more, many of the plates and grates were completely ruined, exposing the sewers.
In a way, this area looked like an ancient ruin in the middle of a swamp, except that the swamp itself was made of even more disgusting water.
"Can you tell what destroyed all of these buildings?" Manela asked.
Nick looked around.
After a while, he noticed that there were many round holes in the destroyed buildings.
"Something round and strong," Nick said.
Manela grabbed one of Nick's spears and threw it.
SHING!
Nick's eyes shot open in shock as he saw his spear perfectly passing through one of the holes!
"This was my training ground," Manela said. "This is the only place in the Outer City where I can practice throwing my spears."
Nick looked at the destroyed buildings and the houses.
Manela must have thrown countless spears.
"Get your spear. You need to get familiar with this place anyway," she said.
Nick took a deep breath and nodded.
"Hold up," Manela said, holding out Nick's other spears. "Don't forget your other spears."
Nick took another deep breath.
"Of course," he said, putting them on his back.
Immediately, Nick felt extremely heavy again.
As he looked at the destroyed building in the distance again, he felt like it was now much further away.
Even more, Nick was on top of a four-story building while the spear had shot through a hole in one of the small houses.
On top of that, the grates on the streets would never be able to hold Nick's weight and the weight of the spears.
This meant Nick needed to jump from building to building while also carrying his spears.
It was essentially impossible.
However, Nick remembered what he had learned in the previous lesson and what Manela had said.
Throwing spears were not only weapons.
Eventually, Nick created a route in his mind.
First, he climbed down the building by dropping three of his spears.
By dropping them, Nick could easily control in which way they would reach the ground, and all three spears stabbed into the roof of the smaller building beside this one.
Then, Nick jumped down the building and stabbed the last spear into the wall.
Since Nick didn't weigh a lot without his spears, the wall managed to withstand his weight.
After that, Nick pulled the spear out and dropped onto the roof.
With his physique, he could withstand such a drop.
A moment later, Nick put the spear with the others and left to get his lost spear.
Manela had never said that Nick couldn't put his spears to the side.
Without his spears, it was easy to jump from building to building.
