Chapter 88: The menace of evil
“Haha, no need to be so polite, what are you talking about, I happened to be there and lent you a hand, that’s all.”
Inside the sick ward, Ayrin scratched his head, a little embarrassed. “You can just invite me to eat something next time.”
“Bastard, can something like this be compared to a meal?” He was very grateful to Ayrin, but, lying on his sickbed, Ivan was still very angry when seeing Ayrin looking as if he didn’t take his solemn promise to heart.
“Then let’s talk about it next time, anyway there won’t be that many opportunities to return the favor.”
“Bastard, are you saying that I’m just speaking empty words that aren’t even as dependable as a meal!”
“I don’t mean that, haha.” Ayrin said excitedly, “The arcane skill you used earlier against that guy was really amazing! Ghost World Projection – Touch of Death, what kind of arcane skill is that, I didn’t even see arcane particles spraying out, why’s that? Also I felt your body become suddenly lighter when you used this it, why’s that?”
Generally speaking, it was rare for arcane masters to inquire each other about the secrets of their arcane skills. It was especially improbable for them to tell someone else about the mysteries hiding inside the arcane skills they regarded as the most important for themselves. But hearing Ayrin’s question devoid of deceit, Ivan hesitated a little, then told Ayrin, “This is a silent-type arcane skill. Arcane particles combine with spiritual power inside the body and merge into a special arcane power, then they’re directly projected it in the designated area. You felt my body lighten because all the arcane particles suddenly disappeared from it. It’s basically impossible to discover the launch of this arcane skill, except if the opponent masters some kind of special arcane perception skill, or perhaps possesses some unique bloodline talent.”
“There are actually arcane skills like that!” Ayrin shouted in surprise, “Since we can’t even perceive the appearance of the arcane particles and the ripples of its aura, then wouldn’t it be very successful as a sneak attack?”
“Indeed.” Wrapped in bandages like a mummy, Ivan struggled to nod. “These silent arcane skills are extremely rare in the whole continent. There can’t be more than twenty types known in the world of arcane masters, and they’re usually used by the assassins called arcane assassin masters. The strength of my arcane particles isn’t enough yet, I still need to use a verbal chant to summon the arcane power and launch this arcane skill. In other words, with the power of my three open arcane gates, I can barely touch this arcane skill’s threshold. I probably need four open gates or more to fully bring out the power of this arcane skill.”
“You’re really a high-level arcane master with three open gates already then.” Ayrin exclaimed, “An arcane skill that a high-level arcane master with three open gates can only barely use, this must be a taboo-level skill right? You can grasp an arcane skill like this already, you’re amazing!”
“But against you, I actually lost without even showing my strength.” Ivan looked at Ayrin. “I very much can’t accept it, that’s why I have to have another fight with you in the future.”
“Alright then! An appointment between brave warriors! Come! Let’s clasp on it! Oh… You can’t move your arm now that you’re bandaged like this.”
“…” Ivan and Charlotte were speechless again.
…
The match between Agate Lake Academy and White Stone Academy was already underway in the Dragon-Battling Arena. Because of the unexpected events at Divine Shield Academy, there wasn’t enough time for Ayrin and Charlotte to hurry there and watch.
“Hiss…” Gasps continuously descended from the stands.
Every student of Agate Lake Academy this year wore a v-neck gown as their uniform. These gowns were very in vogue among female arcane masters. Gowns like these were already attractive enough when worn by one or two female masters, let alone several thousand female students of Agate Lake Academy appearing at the same place and wearing them at the same time.
One at to admit at a time like this that beauty was also a lethal weapon, with a power destructive enough to jolt the heart and shake the soul.
However, the gazes of almost all the males in the stands were gathered on a tall figure in the center of the Dragon-Battling Arena.
This was an Agate Lake girl student a full two meters and a half tall!
A giant like this was bound to be robust and sturdy as well as tall. During the era of the War of the Dragons, the giants, all of them three meters tall and above, resembled small moving hills.
However, the present Agate Lake girl possessed astounding height, but still remained very beautiful. The places that should be slender were slender, the places that should be curvy were curvy. This gave off an even stronger and more unique visual impact, gave the crowd the feeling that this girl was the normal one, while they themselves were the ones too short.
With a figure that was both tall and beautiful, and a pretty face, this girl called Nikita, the vanguard for Agate Lake Academy, firmly grabbed the attention of everyone in the stands.
But the shock she brought was far from than limited to only these.
The instant the referee declared the start of the fight, countless arcane particles gushed out of her hands. and merged with arcane power, giving birth to bizarre dark-gold rays of light. While gasps came from down from the stands, a six-pointed star actually formed in front of her!
The next second, the air in the entire arena seemed to ripple.
The six-pointed star vanished, and a body even taller than herself appeared in front of her.
Many people stopped breathing in the stands.
This was a giant silver-white, four meters tall bear standing erect on its two hind legs. Blocks of ice and snow hung on his body, covering it like pierces of armor.
