Chapter 130: Queen of Ice and Snow against Siren Song (2/2)
There were countless mighty and knowledgeable arcane masters in the stands. Voices like these immediately floated to their ears.
“Is it a suffocation skill that absorbs all the oxygen in an area? No wonder Audrey can’t breathe even now.” Ayrin breathed in a deep mouthful of air, subconsciously. “What about that guy from Sea God Academy?”
“That’s?”
When the white coral tree shattered to pieces, when more and more white granules were consumed and less and less of them present in the field, the storm slowly became like a thin white fog. Pitt, the fourth contestant for Sea God Academy, came into view. What made many people exhale in shock was, there was a transparent bubble wrapped around his head.
“This is Sea God Academy’s Bubble Dive! This guy used this small skill right from the start and bundled quite a lot of air inside. That’s why he has no problem at all with breathing.” Ayrin came to the realization at the same time as many other people.
“Puff!”
Just at this time, ice suddenly extended from Audrey’s back and transformed into a pair of ice wings. She shot several dozen meters in the air at an astounding speed, immediately rushing out of the area covered by the white granules. Floating in the air, she breathed in deeply.
Pitt, the fourth contestant for Sea God Academy, lifted his head. There was no longer any reserve of arcane particles left inside him. He nodded in Kleis’ direction and said softly, “I admit defeat.”
“It’s already quite a feat to endure the batter of the arcane particles required to use these two arcane skills one after another. You lost, yet you still gained honor,” Kleis first said with a voice only Pitt and himself could hear. Only then did he wave his flag and declare the end of this fight.
When he waved the flag, applause and acclaims rose from the stands like a tide.
“Sea God Academy, you fought bravely!”
“Do your best, Sea God Academy!”
This time, most of the cheers weren’t directed at the winner. They were for the loser’s performance instead.
“Captain, shouldn’t we substitute Audrey?”
In Dragon Breath Academy’s preparation area, one of the team members looked at captain Morgan with a frown and said, “She doesn’t have a lot of arcane particles left. Joyce is next, she’ll definitely be injured if she continues.”
“No. It seems you don’t understand Audrey well enough yet.” Morgan laughed softly and shook his head. “If Sea God Academy performed in a very mediocre way, maybe she’d have been very willing to step down. But now, Sea God Academy blew the horn of their counterattack with their very blood. They’re fighting like true braves. She definitely isn’t willing to step down. In her opinion, to fight seriously is also a form of esteem and honor for opponents worthy of respect. If we made her step down now, there’s no telling what kind of tantrum she’d throw. Anyway, I’m not brave enough to make her step down. If you guys want her to step down, you go and tell her yourselves.”
“It’s not like we’re the captain.” The members of team Dragon Breath threw a contemptuous glance at Morgan. At the same time, they shook their heads, a little vexed. “That said, with Audrey’s temper, it’s really hard to tell what kind of grave consequence there would be if we forced her to come down.”
“It’s only the group stage anyway. There’s still time to heal if she’s wounded.” Morgan smiled. He added, “This tournament, it’s also a rare test for her.”
“Siren Song!” “Siren Song!” …
Shouts and cheers rose in waves among the stands.
An amazed Ayrin turned to Sophia beside him and asked when he heard, “What does that mean?”
“Siren Song is a taboo skill from Sea God Academy. In the whole of Sea God Academy, there’s only Joyce who grasps it right now,” Sophia explained. “Joyce used this skill last year and became a celebrity. That’s why he gained the “Siren Song” sobriquet. On top of that, there’s a very pleasant sound when he uses this skill. That’s why he imperceptibly gained a lot of fans.”
“So that’s why.” Ayrin nodded.
“I get it now!” Seeing Ayrin and Sophia trade question and answer, looking very intimate, the extremely envious Stingham felt like he suddenly saw the light.
“Asking questions like these, it’s a very good opportunity to get close to her. I’m really dumb, I should have faked ignorance long ago and ask questions. I’d have become very intimates with the girls by now.”
Thinking like that, Stingham immediately inserted himself in. He asked, impatient, “Arcane skills can make noises? There’s pleasant singing even when it’s a boy using the skill?”
“What kind of question is that?”
“He doesn’t even know that?”
“Is that guy a moron? Why couldn’t arcane skills make noise?” When team Holy Dawn and team Agate Lake heard Stingham’s ignorance about such common sense, they suddenly thought, that guy’s brain must have been stuffed with weeds.
…
In the center of the field, Sea God Academy’s captain, Joyce, was already standing in front of Audrey.
“Audrey!”
“Audrey!”
“Siren Song!”
“Siren Song!”
Amidst such different cheers and rallying shouts coming from the fans, the curtains finally opened on a great evenly-matched fight between two heavyweights.
