Chapter 180: Ayrin’s might (2/2)

Simply put, arcane gates were the product of the combination of spiritual strength with the energy stored inside each minute particles inside the body. As soon as the body felt weak, as soon as the energy stored inside all the minute particles inside the body was more or less depleted, there was already no way to continue condensing particles.

“Even so, there’s the equivalent of about a third of an arcane gate’s worth of arcane particles stored inside each arcane gate. The arcane particles I can garner in one go is equivalent to fifty percent more than usual. It should be very powerful.”

Stopping after feeling bouts of weakness and exhaustion, Ayrin became excited again.

“Teacher Songat, how about you help me train this time? Come resist my arcane skills, otherwise, I can’t see the results of my skills if I just launch them into empty air without any resistance,” he said, excitedly looking at Songat.

Songat rolled his eyes. “Why are you only looking at me?”

“For teacher Liszt and teacher Cana, I already know a skill or two from them, but I still haven’t seen a skill from you.” Ayrin laughed merrily. “Plus, you told me just yesterday we’d go catch a drake from Evil Dragon followers and have a taste of it if we get the chance. As companions, I should at least have an understanding of your skills.”

“Since you put it like this, then let me see your Holy Gate of Life added to Ruin Fetters.” Songat wiped his hands on his clothes. With a flash of his figure, he reappeared a dozen meters away from Ayrin.

“Alright, here I come!”

Ayrin took a deep breath and chanted in silence: “Holy Gate of Life!” There wasn’t any apparent outward change on him, but what even he himself a little scared of was, five additional flows of arcane particles suddenly appeared inside him, gushing out along his hands and feet.

He was already controlling the speed of the arcane particles with meticulous care, because he hadn’t totally recovered yet, but in an instant, the energy channels in his hands and feet still stung with acute pain, with minute damage appeared on them.

“So these are the additional five gates inside the body?”

The instant the five flows of arcane particles poured outside, he clearly felt as though five great gates had opened inside him, clearly felt the existence of these five gates.

Only, he couldn’t control these five gates. All the arcane particles gushed outside as soon as they opened, then these five gates closed shut and disappeared from his perception.

“Ruin Fetters!”

The unprecedented feeling he had when arcane particles gushed out also gave Ayrin a sensation of unprecedented power. Dazzling particles enveloped his entire body, along with an exceptionally vigorous chant.

And at the same time, countless black particles poured in the air all of a sudden, all around Songat. Each and every particle seemed to glint with countless tiny, shifting black bolts of lightning.

“Swish!”

These black particles formed a black halo of light in a mere instant, with countless sharp thorns seeming to grow on its surface, fiercely contracting around Songat.

Songat’s face suddenly became solemn.

“Crystal Hexagram!”

A six-pointed hexagram suddenly appeared, revolving around him. Transparent crystals columns appeared in front of him, layer by layer.

The moment the black particles had appeared, even Ayrin, the one who’d launched the skill, could feel his own brain become dizzy, as though the black particles were sucking his spiritual strength away. He immediately shouted in happy surprise, “Teacher Liszt, can this Ruin Fetters also confuse the nerves?”

“Bzz…bzz…bzz…”

The halo of black light ground nonstop against the crystal columns, making friction sounds keen and sharp enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

“Not only a nerve-confusing effect.” Amidst such noises, Liszt glanced at Ayrin and said, “It also freezes that area and creates a huge pressure. That’s the reason why I said this skill was the only one you needed to learn when it comes to counter single opponents. It not only has a formidable destructive power, it can also confine and confuse the opponent from the start.”

“Is it so amazing?”

In a daze, Ayrin looked at the black halo of light revolving around Songat.

Bursts of terrifying undulations of arcane energy shook between the black halo and the crystal columns.

“Crack crack crack…”

The rays of light radiating from the surface of the crystal columns around Songat were as dazzling as arcane particles. This defensive skill clearly had formidable power as well, but the crystal columns started shattering bit by bit in the space of an instant.

“Crystal Boundary!”

With another chant from Songat, the shattered crystal splinters started revolving swiftly all of a sudden, seeming to completely transform the air around him into crystal.

“Boom!”

And at the same instant, the black halo of light directly detonated.

The huge air blast and shockwave even pushed Ayrin back five or six steps.

A black flame that rose in the air like a mushroom.

“Amazing!”

Ayrin was dumbstruck.

“Flames of ruin added to confining fetters, that’s the reason why this skill is called Ruin Fetters,” Liszt faintly said, clearly expecting this sort of result.

“He actually succeeded with this skill in one try as well. This guy, he’s definitely going to become the Evil Dragon followers’ greatest enemy in the future.” Songat slowly walked out from the black flames, his whole body seeming to glitter with a crystalline gloss.

He looked at Ayrin, his eyes also seeming to glitter with crystalline light.

“Can’t be? Teacher Songat, are you crying?” Ayrin had good eyes, and he immediately made a big fuss.

“Cry your ass.” Songat looked away, not even looking at Ayrin anymore.

“But I really seem to have seen tears flowing down…” Ayrin mumbled. Then he looked around in Liszt’s direction and shouted in excitement, “Look, teacher Liszt, I didn’t lie to you right? I really learned these skills.”

“Haha, amazing.” Liszt patted Songat’s shoulder and gave Ayrin a big thumbs up.

“I’m already this powerful now, but I still can’t go out there and fight. I’m really impatient… Today’s the match between Golden Stag and Sofia and the others… Hurry up and recover!”

The excited Ayrin turned around again and looked in the direction of the arena, brandishing his fists while hopping a couple times in dejection.
