Chapter 161: Ferguillo’s real secret
“Is this guy looking to die?”
Everyone on Massay’s side had this sudden thought.
Ayrin had previously showcased a bizarre performance during the match against Mountain Kings Academy, but in such a close-range battle, everyone could feel that the power of Ayrin’s arcane particles were merely at the level of a one-gate arcane master.
At such an arcane level, it was absolutely impossible to withstand the arcane skill invoked by a three-gate arcane master with the power of his own skills.
On top of that, Herry’s “Mourning of the Three Fire Dragons” was a taboo skill from Three-Headed Dragon Academy.
To the knowledge of people outside the academy, only their school team’s captain Lyos could grasp this taboo skill, and Lyos had gained his “Fire Dragon War God” sobriquet precisely thanks to the fearsome power of that skill.
This was without even mentioning that Herry used Blaze of Heart and Soul before launching this taboo skill. Herry’s present attack was impossible to escape unscathed from even for Massay and the others if they tried to withstand it.
“Boom!”
In an instant, three huge fire dragons completely engulfed Ayrin’s figure.
“Ayrin!”
There was a sudden emptiness in Charlotte’s chest.
“What!”
However, Herry, the one who’d launched the skill, had an entirely different feeling.
Ayrin actually passed right through the flames gathered by the three dragons without the slightest pause!
Some sort of power seemed to quickly devour all the flames rushing near Ayrin.
“Fire Embers!”
The name flashed across Herry’s mind when he saw Ayrin rush through the flames and reach him, countless ash-like specks in tow.
“How can he use Donna’s Fire Embers?!”
Herry was already too late to dodge. The huge shock added on top of it made his mind go blank.
“Ah!”
With a roar, shadows flashing at his feet, Ayrin sent his right fist on Herry, and with it as the center of gravity, viciously crashed his entire body into Herry.
“Crack.” Even if he didn’t have time to use any arcane skill, his mere physical strength was enough to cause Herry’s stomach to cave in. The latter madly coughed blood from his mouth. Even if he was entirely cut off from the perception of pain, he still couldn’t bear the heavy damage to his heart. He flew backward, losing control of his body.
“Huff… Huff…”
Ayrin breathed in pain.
In fact, he’d used Holy Body Ignition in that instant and launched Fire Embers in tandem with it. But after all, he still couldn’t bring out Fire Embers’ full power with his present level. So he presently had countless burns on his body. He could even smell the barbecue-like aroma coming from his own body.
“Fire Embers!”
“It’s Fire Embers, a skill that can dissipate the power of almost any fire skill! Called the strongest defense against fire skills! Only Donna can use it in the entire kingdom of Eiche, why can he use it too!”
Massay’s face was deathly pale; he’d never imagined something unexpected like this to happen once again. He knew Herry was definitely down for the count this time. He couldn’t pose any further threat to Ayrin any longer, no matter what.
“It seems now’s the time to unleash my true power,” Shinro calmly said then, looking at Ferguillo.
The instant he said these words, he abruptly vanished from where he stood.
“Puff!”
Light faintly flashed in Ferguillo’s left pink eye. Several gem-like feathers in front of him suddenly shattered. Several spurts of blood shot in the air.
But before anyone could react, a force so fast it seemed invisible came back once again, piercing through the gap left open by these feathers.
Ferguilo’s entire body shook. He fell a step back.
“Ferguillo!”
“What!”
Ayrin and the others yelled in astonishment at the same time.
A deep wound had appeared on Ferguillo’s stomach, blood madly gushing from within, dyeing the front of his clothes red in no time.
Meanwhile, his right hand dripping with blood, Shinro stood a dozen meters away from Ferguillo, a mocking expression appearing on his face.
“Ferguillo, how are you!”
Ayrin had been in the middle of sprinting at Joyce’s opponent, but now he madly ran in Ferguillo’s direction instead.
“It’s no use.”
Shinro looked at the blood still dripping from his right hand, then turned around and looked at Ayrin rushing his way like a madman. “Even his heart is torn, can you still save him?”
“Even his heart’s torn?”
Audrey trembled violently. She wasn’t familiar with Ferguillo, but they were comrades fighting with their lives on the line right now. So, when she heard these words, grief and hatred hard to describe with words filled her being.
Deep, abstruse yet swift chants came from her mouth. It was cryptic Draconic!
There were several hundred bandage-like strips of yellow earth revolving continuously around her, continuously contracting.
Even though she’d previously sent arcane skills crashing on them and broken quite a few bandage-like strips, they skill kept growing nonstop. The undamaged ones grew longer and thicker, while the damaged one reconnected themselves back.
When she started her Draconic chant, even the skin of her hands started slightly cracking, but no blood flowed from inside. Instead, they flashed with icy crystalline light, as though the entire inside of her body had become ice crystal.
The yellow ribbons of earth growing and revolving around her suddenly turned white, ice and frost covering their surfaces.
“Bastard, I’m going to kill you!”
Ayrin roared in rage, his eyes turning blood-red.
Ferguillo hadn’t even spoken all that many words to him all put together, but in Ayrin’s opinion, he was already a good friend of his.
