Chapter 76: Conceding defeat
“What arcane skill is that?”
In more than a month of secret training, Carter had suppressed his strength and imitated all types of arcane masters when fighting against Ayrin. That was why, as soon as Ayrin saw Charlotte’s movements, a strong sense of crisis spontaneously arose inside him.
“Boom!”
He felt his hand lighten all of a sudden.
The metallic doll suddenly turned into a silver-gray metallic haze.
“Reassemble!”
Charlotte’s hands were still joined, but following her chant, the thick silver-gray fog suddenly contracted, and unexpectedly formed another metallic doll standing upright on one side of Ayrin.
“Puff!”
The metallic doll’s punch mercilessly struck Ayrin’s belly.
“…”
The vast majority of people in the stands felt as if their own bellies had taken a heavy, vicious blow. Their mouths filled with acid.
“Is that Charlotte’s genuine finishing blow? Her soul-linked avatar can actually disperse and reassemble itself in the blink of an eye?”
Gerryn and the others trembled despite themselves.
“Ah!”
An earthshaking cry of pain came yet again from Ayrin. But the moment his body flipped sideways, he actually sent a ruthless kick at the doll.
He could counterattack even after taking such a heavy blow that brought a good deal of nasty effects; one could imagine how much bitter training Ayrin underwent in ordinary times. However, what made Gerryn and the others entirely stop breathing was, they saw Ayrin’s kick pass through the metallic doll’s body.
The metallic doll transfomed back into a silver-gray metallic fog.
Ayrin’s leg merely passed through a thick fog.
The next moment, the metallic doll reappeared again on one side of Ayrin and viciously swept its leg on him.
The kick flung Ayrin away like a bundle of rice paddy flipped up by a farmer.
“Is this Charlotte’s true secret?”
“This is her strongest secret skill, the real power of the Soul-Linked War Avatar!”
“You can’t even affect her doll with attacks. When you attack, her metallic doll can directly turn into a thick fog, then immediately reassemble… How can you beat her! How can you defeat her!”
A chilly wind blew into the hearts of the Holy Dawn students in the stands, the chill spreading from their hearts all the way to the their bones.
“A very powerful secret skill.”
At this moment, Carter turned his head and looked mildly at Chris, saying in a soft voice, “But did you notice, there’s also a weakness to her secret skill.”
Chris nodded. “This war avatar of hers… it should require a one-time consumption of a large part of her arcane particles. It would be the same as consuming more than half of her arcane particles if it were beaten. That’s why she had no choice but to use her ultimate secret skill when Ayrin had her war avatar under control. The weakness of this secret skill is precisely piling a great amount of arcane particles on the war avatar in one go. Apart from Heavy Ions, she shouldn’t be able to use any powerful arcane skill that requires a great amount of arcane particles.”
“Indeed. Worthy of a student with the highest innate talent for battle,” Carter exclaimed with heartfelt admiration. “The weakness of this secret skill is to confine a great part of her own strength in this war avatar. Of course… As long as she uses this secret skill well enough, she’s already strong enough.”
Christ took in a deep breath. “There’s another weakness to her way of fighting.”
“Another weakness?” Carter blinked.
“Yes.” Chris’ gaze was fixated on the field from beginning to end. “And Ayrin should have felt it already as well.”
Carter only needed a single glance, then his eyes immediately flashed fiercely. “Indeed, she has another weakness, it’s her own body. She’s weaker than her war doll right now. She’s the one controlling the war doll, so as long as you knock her out, the war doll will naturally become useless as well.”
…
In the field, still shouting madly in pain, Ayrin charged toward Charlotte as if his life depended on it!
“Too slow, it’s impossible to break through the war doll’s blockade.”
Charlotte watched Ayrin’s crazed charge in her direction without moving a step away. Only her two hands joined together moved again.
“Bang!”
The metallic doll fell down from the sky behind Ayrin, and landed a ruthless kick on his back.
“That won’t do… I can only use my hidden arcane particles.
“If I use ‘Crown of Ice and Snow,’ this metallic doll should be entirely frozen if it scatters into a fog!”
The moment the fierce pain rushed to his brain, Ayrin brimmed with the urge to use his arcane skill.
Golden stars were already swimming in his vision!
But at the same time, even more dazzling starlight seemed sparkle inside his arcane gate.
“This is…”
He immediately understood the reason why. Ecstasy welled up from the bottom of his heart.
“Ah!”
He shouted madly, once again rose determinedly on his feet, and continued his charge toward Charlotte.
“Puff!”
There was no issue of endurance when it came to the metallic doll, hence its momentum was in theory limitless. So Ayrin only shakily dashed a few meters before the metallic doll sent another fierce kick on the middle of his back with matchless steadiness.
The muffled sound squeezed the hearts of everyone in the stands, to the point many people worried whether they would see a miserable scene of flesh and blood spraying out.
“He’s actually not using arcane skills even now…” An odd expression also filled Carter’s eyes.
“What?”
However, Charlotte’s heart quivered violently at this moment.
