Chapter 99: Demon Sealing Needles (2/2)

“Oh right.” Stingham immediately flung his head in what he thought to be a very chic gesture. “I’m not going to argue and lower myself to your level.”

“He more or less used all his concealed tricks. I wonder what tactics Ayrin is going to use in this fight.” Carter started smiling. Watching a fight like this that even he couldn’t predict, where the result was uncertain even for him, this was a genuine pleasure.

“There can’t be any mishap.

“The boss is right, I can’t look at him like a freshman, but instead as a formidable arcane master who defeated Ivan.”

“What a powerful expression in his eyes, his aura is so much stronger than the previous ones. Teacher Carter was right, he’s really a celebrity-level contestant as well.” With only a single look at Wilde, Ayrin directly started falling back the moment the referee declared the start of the fight.

“Swish!”

Arcane particles gushed out of Wilde’s hands, producing rustling sounds. Blue streams of air appeared around his arms, like one blue demon tail after another. They quickly condensed and transforming into two narrow longswords as long as he was tall.

“Bang!”

At the same moment his two blue wasp swords solidified, Ayrin’s back bumped heavily against the walls under the stands, spreading a vibrating sound in the air.

“He’s already crashed into the wall, what’s Ayrin trying to do?”

No spectator in the stands could understand.

Ayrin actually didn’t move anymore. He merely watched Wilde with vigilance, his back leaning against the hard black stone wall.

“So that’s how it is!”

Looking at this appearance of his, several girls from Agate Lake Academy suddenly saw the light. “He realizes himself that there’s a gap in speed between him and these people from Iron Forest Academy. Plus, Wilde even has a sustained movement arcane skill, speed and agility are his forte to begin with. That’s why Ayrin is leaning against the wall, this means he only needs to deal with threats coming from the front, he doesn’t need to guard against attacks coming from behind.”

“Indeed, he can somewhat lessen the advantage of speed in this way. Plus, if Wilde attacks with his swords, there’s a great possibility he’ll slash them on the wall. His swords will be slowed this way, it’ll be a hindrance to Wilde.”

“It’s really a very smart method. Ayrin’s is really more and more adorable.”

“I just don’t know if it’s going to be useful.”

“Do your best Ayrin!” Imperceptibly, many girls from Agate Lake Academy also became Ayrin’s fans, and started to cheer and encourage Ayrin in loud voices.

Wilde didn’t show the slightest expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a chilly glint flashing across them.

His body moved at a speed hard to detect with naked eyes, only leaving a faint blue light in the air behind him.

“He’s coming!”

Ayrin focused his spirit to the limit. There were only the narrow longsword blades in the world inside his eyes.

“Evil Flaming Eye!”

He suddenly lifted his hand. A burning Evil Flaming Eye appeared, carrying with it a beguiling aura.

When Wilde approached within five to six meters in front of Ayrin, he suddenly vanished and reappeared on Ayrin’s left, then flashed again, and reappeared on Ayrin’s left. An arcane master at Ayrin’s level had simply not time to react to an instant speed like this.

But just when he flashed on Ayrin’s left, the Evil Flaming Eye shot out of Ayrin’s hand and directly fired head-on in his direction.

“Hm?”

Wilde couldn’t understand why something like this happened, because Ayrin’s invocation speed was much slower compared to his, unless he had a secret skill like Ferguillo that let him predict his opponents’ next movements. Yet his state of mind wasn’t influenced the slightest. He closed his eyes at this instant. His swords, like two vibrating wasp wings, cross-slashed like a scissor, slashing on the Evil Flaming Eye.

“Boom!”

The Evil Flaming Eye split into four parts. A formidable force also pushed his body away, sending him directly more than a dozen meters behind Ayrin before he could steady himself.

“What’s going on!”

Ayrin was ready to counterattack at this time, but there was a sudden bone-piercing chilly pain in his heart. He realized his body was completely stiff and he couldn’t control it at all. He couldn’t move even a single finger!

Thinking back almost subconsciously, he remembered that just a moment ago, when the Evil Flaming Eye collided with Wilde’s pair of swords, a blinding cold flash had also appeared on the pair of swords, causing him to close his eyes for an instant in spite of himself.

“What!”

Almost everyone realized at this time that Ayrin’s body was exceptionally stiff, that he couldn’t move. The next second, they saw hair-like strands of blue light faintly drilling out from many parts of Ayrin’s body.

“It’s already over.”

Wilde breathed in deeply, blisters on his skin born from the flames’ scorching. He stretched out a long sword and pointed it at Ayrin.

“It’s Demon Sealing Needles!”

Carter’s brows furrowed tightly. “This is a arcane skill from Iron Forest Academy originally used to restrain monsters. It stops the flow of blood, paralyzes some energy channels, and makes the enemy totally unable to move. Wilde seemed to have altered this arcane skill. Now it’s really too furtive. And it seems like it can even stop the flow of arcane particles!”

“What! Doesn’t that mean that Ayrin can’t move and can’t use any arcane skill at all either?” Moss and the others suddenly paled, exclaiming in unison.
