Chapter 65 65 - Arise
"I found you!"
Even without her vision, Lyza launched herself into the air toward Ryan. She did not possess such good hearing, so it was hard to know his position in the middle of that screaming crowd. She was approaching Ryan with speed, so when the two were at least two meters away from each other, Lyza activated an aura blast. A shockwave of shock and flames appeared. A circle of electric and fire magic was thrown in all directions, echoing like a sound wave through the air.
\'DAMN\'IT\'
Using his Katana, Ryan cut off the attack. Part of his clothes were burned off with it, but what was worse was the wave of electricity that went through from the sword to his body. If it weren\'t for his regeneration skill, he would be in serious trouble.
Biting his own tongue, Ryan was trying his best not to make any noise. He knew that this was Lyza\'s main goal. However, his strategy didn\'t seem to be working anymore.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAAHhahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" Lyza was laughing like a maniac. Next, panting, she turned to Ryan. The two exchanged glances, both were wearing smiles, one smile was confident and the other was psychotic.
\'My sight is back, you idiot child\' She said, advancing towards Ryan.
\'Nyx, are you there?\'
There was a silence in Ryan\'s mind. A silence and a void.
His mind was completely focused on the duel, so no thoughts unrelated to the battle appeared. But beyond that, Succubus\' very presence seemed dim.
<....>
<Yes>
Taking a deep breath, Ryan charged up all the energy he could. Getting his mana flowing throughout his body, he tried to charge with energy both the two pistols and the two swords he carried.
He then activated the wings he received from the succubus. \'Nyx, I don\'t know what happened. But I really need your help\' Flying to the top of the arena, near the protective barrier, Ryan began to cast as many spells as he could.
Using both pistols, he was throwing as many skills as possible, it was like a machine gun of magic shooting towards Lyza. But none of the magic attacks were working, she was punching all the mana projectiles with her iron gloves, causing the attacks to be reflected and fly towards the audience.
* WOM WHUUUOMMM BROOOAK*
The spells were nullified at the same instant they hit the wall protecting the bleachers, causing strange exploding sounds to emerge. It was as if the mana from the attack was completely sucked up by the wall.
\'This isn\'t working...\' At the same instant Ryan thought of this, his eyes began to glow with the reflection of a gigantic rock sphere flying towards him. Lyza was firing several punches, with each movement of her fists, a projectile of mana was launched. They were basketball-sized spheres, some were purple and some were orange.
The sphere hit him in the face, the speed of that attack was gigantic. He was thrown toward the wall as he continued to receive those attacks one by one. The energy spheres were exploding on contact with Ryan\'s body, dealing critical damage.
The stands went crazy, hundreds of people were cheering for Lyza\'s victory. The internet broadcast of the duel was having several people watching, the story of the weaker student was being reposted on several blogs and websites. Everyone was confused about what would make someone so weak challenge a traveler with one of the highest ranks in history.
Watching this, Olivia, Alice and Sara had apprehensive looks on their faces. They thought that Ryan had the upper hand, but now the game had completely turned around. In front of them was a hologram focused on the face of their master. With each energy sphere, Ryan spat out a little more blood.
The attacks then suddenly stopped. Ryan\'s body fell directly to the ground, as if he had already been defeated. Lyza\'s footsteps echoed through the mana floor, as if only she was there, all the screams, clapping and stares were disappearing. It was as if none of it mattered, Ryan\'s mind was blotting it all out, his head was a complete blank. His mind was just watching that woman approach with a frightening smile.
Still, he was getting up, even with difficulty. On the internet, the comments from the broadcast were rising at a gigantic rate, both supporting and rooting against him.
---------
- This kid wants to die
- He is still getting up, it reminds me of that duel from Blazing Hero
- ololol dude is still standing after all of that
- But Blazing Hero was a rank A adventurer, this kid is just a rookie!
- He\'s still a student and he\'s withstanding the attacks of the Queen of Flames. You know he has potential.
- Lmao look at his face
- If he doesn\'t die today, I will continue to follow his evolution.
- Are you sure he is the weakest student?
---------
He couldn\'t hear, but Olivia, Alice, Sara, Ellen, and Rose were rooting for him. In that arena, there were only two fighters, but inside Ryan\'s heart, there was one person who could reach him.
<Arise, master>
Those words echoed through Ryan\'s heart, causing him to easily stand up. His body again began to burn with demonic power, nothing was important anymore, and nothing bothered him anymore. A gigantic amount of black flames started coming out of his back.
They were like a pair of wings. On that young man\'s head, two horns of fire appeared. The moment he removed the swords from his back, the katanas were enveloped with that demonic energy. That burning fire was even hotter than Lyza\'s own flames.
The crowd of people watching fell silent at that very instant. No one could understand what was happening. In the same instant, several news portals began to report the story, creating theories as to what this demonstration of power could be.
In the teachers\' area, an intense discussion broke out. Everyone was exchanging confused looks as they tried to find an answer to what that power was.
"Is he using a skill?"
"I\'ve never seen that kind of black flame manipulation"
"Was he limiting himself during class?"
"So he was hiding this unique power?
"What the fuck is going on here?!"
