Chapter 76: Conceding defeat (2/2)
She couldn’t understand the reason why!
Because she could clearly feel the power of the war avatar declining many times faster than usual!
The war doll was formed by a one-time combination of arcane power and arcane particles. After it took shape, its strength would slowly deteriorate, until that part of her arcane particles was entirely used up and couldn’t be replenished anymore. And now, there weren’t many arcane particles left inside her. No further replenishment was possible!
“There’s something wrong!”
At the edge of the field where team Divine Shield was, the captain Ivan suddenly said in a cold voice, “There’s something wrong with Charlotte’s situation!”
All the other members of team Divine Shield were taken aback, but they couldn’t see anything wrong. In their opinion, Charlotte still steadily held the upper hand.
“What!”
They saw Ayrin actually halt his charge in Charlotte’s direction the next instant. He turned around abruptly and faced the war doll head on.
“Hm?” Even Chris had a little trouble understanding what Ayrin was trying to do.
“Puff!”
The war doll once again struck a punch on Ayrin’s chest.
Ayrin slid several meters backwards. However, what made many people feel as if their chests were being crushed by a great boulder was, Ayrin actually still stood upright, and his fighting will still burned raging from head to toe. The invisible will to fight seemed visible to the naked eye.
“Pa!”
In the next attack, his hands actually blocked the war doll’s punch!
“What!”
Incredulous cries and gasps immediately came from the stands occupied by Divine Shield Academy.
The scene of the doll exploding Ayrin with its blows didn’t happen.
The seemingly ever-triumphant metallic doll actually swayed on its feet and fell a step back!
Unexpectedly, its strength clearly seemed a little weaker than Ayrin’s.
“Pa!”
Ayrin’s launched a punch. The war doll scattered once again, but when it reassembled and counterattacked, Ayrin once again blocked its blow!
Its explosiveness and speed also seemed notably weaker than Ayrin’s!
Charlotte’s hands started to shake violently.
She was the one most aware that it wasn’t Ayrin’s strength that increased, but the power of her war doll declining too fast. It was surprisingly unable to stifle Ayrin already!
Because of this simple psychological ripple, the war avatar didn’t scatter.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” …
Ayrin’s attacks landed like a storm on the metallic doll.
All the Holy Dawn student subconsciously stood up at this moment.
Ayrin was actually exploding the seemingly ever so powerful war avatar, and the latter seemed simply unable to mount the slightest resistance!
“Oh no!”
Charlotte suddenly sensed something. Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, her usual calm entirely gone.
“Bang!”
The metallic doll collapsed thoroughly, unable to reassemble any longer.
The exhaustion of arcane particles and arcane power exceeded the critical stage, and couldn’t sustain her secret skill any longer!
“Phew… Phew…”
The arena suddenly turned quiet. Only Ayrin’s heavy panting was left.
In this stagnant atmosphere, Ayrin turned around and faced Charlotte, proudly asking, “Charlotte, do you want to concede?”
Charlotte recovered from her stunned state.
“Stop dreaming!”
Heavy metal notes once again rose from her body. A desperate aura lingered around her. Even with the last of her power left inside her, she still had to fight Ayrin to the bitter end.
“No need to struggle recklessly, just concede.”
At this moment, two cold and stern voices spoke at the same time.
The teacher leading team Divine Shield, Payton, and the captain Ivan issued their command both at the same time.
Charlotte’s body halted all of a sudden. Started to shake from the humiliation.
“This match isn’t the whole of the tournament.” Ivan calmly strode a step forward, saying to her, “We still need your strength in the fights to come against the other schools. I don’t want to see you suffer a heavy injury here. So it’s only a matter of strategy, and not an issue with your strength. This is a battlefield order. Please leave the rest to me, and be at ease.”
Hearing such a calm and cool voice, Charlotte rapidly recovered her own calm.
She nodded like a genuine army officer, then said, “I give up.”
After that, she turned to Ayrin and seriously told him, “Ayrin, you’re really something, you entirely surpassed my expectation. But you have to thank your previous teammate. I wouldn’t have lost to you if not for him causing me a certain amount of damage.”
“You’re wrong!” Ayrin brandished his fist very proudly, however. “I think I can beat you even without Moss’ help!”
“Really someone hard to discern.” Charlotte couldn’t help but smile. Then she walked past Ayrin. The moment she brushed by him, she seriously said, “Until our next fight!”
“Ayrin won?”
“Ayrin won against Charlotte?”
“Ayrin defeated Charlotte!”
“Rumble!” Only at this moment did everyone in the stands come back to their senses. Especially in the Holy Dawn Academy stands, the Holy Dawn students started shouting one after another like madmen. They hugged those next to them without even caring who they were.
