Chapter 129: Blowing the horn of Sea God Academy’s counterattack
Even in ordinary times, Sven was a taciturn person in team Sea God. His talent and his looks were both very ordinary. Yet, he usually trained extremely hard. He was always the first one in the training field, and the last one to leave.
He was in the same year as Joyce. He was going to graduate next year. This year was also the last time he would participate in the Hegemonical Cup of Starry Sky Braves.
But the difference with Joyce was, he was the definition of a diligent self-made person in Sea God Academy, a late bloomer. He never had the strength to join the team in the previous three years. Only in his fourth year did his strength slowly surpass almost everyone. On top of that, he finally became proficient in several arcane skills. Only then did he soar into one of the main members of team Sea God.
It was his last time participating in the tournament this year. It was also his first time.
They immediately met an outstanding team like Dragon Breath Academy, the defending champions. So everyone in Sea God Academy could understand his feelings.
After walking in silence to the center of the field, his head down, this third member of Sea God Academy gestured at referee Kleis, indicating he was ready, that the match could begin at once.
“Is he too disappointed, so he doesn’t have any fighting spirit left?”
Seeing Sven’s appearance, even Kleis sighed in silence. When he saw Audrey indicate she was ready as well, he just waved his flag and declared the start of the fight.
“Ice Arrows!”
Exactly like in the previous fight, several dozen snow-white ice arrows appeared in front of Audrey as soon her voice rose. Whistling through the air, the cloud of them shot in Sven’s direction.
“She’s fighting exactly the same way!”
“She doesn’t feel like changing?”
“The difference in level is too great. He can’t rush and use an arcane skill before Audrey does, even if Audrey clearly shows she’s using the same tactics. He’s still going to be stifled all the same. I’m afraid this Sven won’t be able to break free of her pressure either.”
“Sea God Academy, there’s probably only their captain Joyce who can struggle a bit against Audrey.”
Comments and discussions descended from the stands when Audrey once again opened with Ice Arrows.
“Starfall!”
Sven suddenly lifted his head at this moment. Beams after beams of arcane particles shot out of his fingertips, charging towards the sky.
Countless silver starlights suddenly appeared in the sky between Audrey and him. They dropped rapidly, becoming one streak of silver light after another.
“Puff puff puff…”
Five or six ice arrows immediately embedded themselves inside his body. His two feet left the ground under their impact. Five or six bloody stains blossomed all over him.
“What!”
Whether the members of team Sea God or all the spectators in the entire stands, the teams participating in the tournament included, all of them couldn’t help but stop breathing for a second.
“This guy…”
Even Audrey, in the middle of her sprint, was greatly taken aback.
Sven actually didn’t use any defensive skill whatsoever when faced with her attack. This “Starfall” was an arcane skill that required a great deal of arcane particles to invoke!
“From the very beginning, he had no thought of defending himself. He wanted to pose a threat to Audrey even at the cost of severe injuries to himself. At least he’ll force Audrey to consume quite a lot of arcane particles!” Ayrin understood then. He couldn’t stop himself from looking at Chris beside him.
“That’s right.” Chris nodded.
“Sven actually used that kind of method. He…” All the other members of team Sea God also understood. For a moment, their eyes became blurry. Only now did they realize that this silent teammate hadn’t lost his fighting spirit. Instead, he used such a method to carry out a fierce and resolute counterattack!
“Aria of Ice!”
Audrey continued to sprint closer to him. Dense, snow-white slices of ice appeared on top of her head, flowing like musical scores. They intercepted all the streaks of silver light pounding on top of her head.
Sven’s feet landed on the ground.
A medical team was already on standby, not far behind him.
The blood on his body was already frozen. He swayed on his feet, as though he couldn’t keep his balance. Yet, he still remained silent.
“Fool, don’t fight anymore!”
“You’ll die if you continue!”
All the members of team Sea God started roaring, tears flowing on their faces.
Yet, he still didn’t give up.
“Shark Impact!”
A deep and low chant gushed out of his mouth. Arcane particles gushed out of his body at a speed that exceeded his limits. Fresh blood sprayed out of his arms.
A huge blue stream of water appeared in front of him out of thin air, rumbling as it struck in Audrey’s direction.
Audrey flashed. When her figure reappeared beside this stream of water, this blue stream immediately transformed into the shape of a huge shark. It twisted around and immediately tried to bite her.
“Ice Wave Sting!”
White ice and snow suddenly filled the air around Audrey.
She stretched out her hand, and a huge beam of ice battered ferociously forward. In the space of a breath, she attacked three times in succession.
This white beam of ice formed from the snow and ice around her also enlarged violently three times.
“Boom!”
This huge white beam of ice shattered the entire blue shark.
