Chapter 166: A decisive battle with the God of Death (2/2)

“Swish.”

A familiar cold and gloomy atmosphere once again rose from his heart, as though he were seeing the god of death’s evil grin right in front of him. He was once again filled with the feeling he was going to die very soon.

“Get lost! You won’t scare me!”

“Idiot, you already failed once, but you still want to try!”

Ayrin roared wildly once again. He suddenly put his hands on his chest as though he were holding an invisible ball. Dazzling arcane particles clashed against each other between his palms, then countless black bats flew nonstop in Lotton’s direction.

Lotton’s eyes widened.

The shadow coffin swallowed the black bats one after another; it was still impossible to break through his defense with the power of Ayrin’s skills. But Ayrin’s attitude was hard to understand for him.

“Is he truly a fool?”

“Or is it because he still hasn’t tasted pain and despair?”

Lotton shook his head again.

“Death God’s Coffin—Burial!”

An extremely deep and gloomy chant came from his mouth.

Along with his chant, the shadow coffin that was still floating above him suddenly vanished, while countless twisted shadows shaped like angry spirits appeared around Ayrin, immediately forming an even bigger coffin.

“Charlotte, mind your own defense, don’t come over!”

However, facing this shadow coffin suddenly appearing in front of him, not only Ayrin gave no thought about fleeing, he even directly charged head-on at the huge coffin instead after a yell.

“Ayrin!”

Charlotte shouted loudly. She didn’t think Ayrin could withstand this blow, because she clearly remembered that this was precisely the skill that’d killed Dylan Nuop, one of the two twin stars of Hornwood Academy. Even an arcane master from the Office of Special Affairs like Kleis couldn’t stop it in time. However, there was something in Ayrin’s shout that brooked no defiance from her. She subconsciously obeyed Ayrin, stopping in her tracks.

Ayrin’s silhouette suddenly found itself in the center of the coffin.

A huge shadow lid was slowly closing.

Countless sand-like grains of shadow crashed against Ayrin, carrying mournful whizzes with them.

“What?”

However, Lotton blinked again at this time.

A layer of golden light suddenly appeared on the surface of Ayrin’s body.

This golden light solidified into huge scales. These scales were so thick and heavy even Ayrin looked like he couldn’t control his own body anymore, like he were a lump of gold, unable to move.

“Puff puff puff puff…”

The countless sand-like grains of shadow crashed on his body flashing with golden light; they made him shake nonstop, and he also seemed in great pain judging from his expression. Still, they couldn’t penetrate inside his flesh.

“Dragon Scale Assimilation? This is Holy Dawn Academy’s Dragon Scale Assimilation. Isn’t it a skill only those with dragon bloodlines can learn? How can Ayrin also use a skill like that… Don’t tell me, does he really have dragon blood?”

Charlotte froze and stared. Then she shouted loudly, happily surprised, “Ayrin, do your best!”

“What?”

An expression of confusion once again flashed in Lotton’s lifeless eyes.

In his opinion, with Ayrin’s arcane particles’ present level, he should only be able to endure after launching Dragon Scale Assimilation, unable to retaliate. Also, he shouldn’t be able to endure for too long either.

But right now, he could clearly feel he seemed to have a little trouble maintaining his Death God’s Coffin instead.

“How can it be like this?”

He felt he didn’t make any mistake.

Golden light still shone on Ayrin’s skin. There scene of carnage, no flesh and blood spraying away to be seen.

Meanwhile, the Death God’s Coffin around Ayrin still couldn’t close. It was collapsing much faster than it usually would. With a boom, it scattered into countless black shadow fragmented particles, quickly vanishing.

Just then, Lotton even had the feeling Ayrin had “eaten” his Death God’s Coffin.

“That won’t do, I can’t follow his movements and his skill-launching speed!”

“I need to be faster, I must see clearer. That’s the only way I can be a threat to him!”

At the same time, just as Lotton’s arcane skill eroded away, Ayrin silently roared these things to himself, even though his body was hurting as though it had been torn.

“Eyes of the Dark Goddess!”

A black spot suddenly appeared between Ayrin’s eyebrows.

There was no choice left. Ayrin could only attempt this secret skill he’d still never succeeded with during training.
