Chapter 199: Waves of shadows (2/2)

“Shadow Bullet Blades!”

Sarina’s eyes had also become utterly calm.

The moment Chris body forcibly opened a path, like a chariot crashing through a market, the blades that couldn’t touch Chris left her hands and shot forward with a faint flick of her fingers.

At the same time, arcane particles once again flashed on her fingers, shaping into another two identical black blades, once again ejected from her hands.

“Swish!”

The instant the two black blades tore through Chris’ clothes, gusts of wind suddenly blew below Chris’ feet, dragging her along. With a forceful turn, she actually reached Sarina’s side.

Sarina faintly narrowed her eyes, but her body didn’t exhibit any superfluous movement, as though she couldn’t react at all.

However, Chris felt a sense of danger again. She instantly fell back ten meters.

“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”

Several dozen rays of black light shot from the ground like strands of spider silk, piercing through the afterimage of her body.

“So powerful!”

“What an amazing reaction!”

The back and forth that happened as fast as sparks of lightning gave every spectator in the stands the feeling they couldn’t regain their breath.

But just then, Sarina’s figure vanished again, as though it merged with one of the fake shadows.

“Whoosh!”

Three black spinning vortexes of light appeared again on the ground not far behind Chris.

On her guard, Chris jumped several steps in succession. But she still didn’t launch any arcane skill.

The vortexes of light started disappearing, but ripples started spreading across the entire field. In a few dozen seconds, a black watery light started enveloping the entire field.

Rather than standing on firm ground, Chris seemed to be standing on black water.

Like swimming fishes, many Sarinas suddenly appeared under the surface of the black water, like swimming fishes.

Chris started running nonstop.

Ripples splashed outward under her feet, black blades continuously piercing out of the water.

“What arcane skill is this?”

In the stands, Wilde and the others became grave.

“If this goes on, she doesn’t even know where Sarina’s real self is, so she can only dodge and can’t retaliate at all. In that situation, anyone would become restless, no matter how cool-headed they are.”

“Looking at Chris, restlessness is something that will never happen. The most important thing is, it’s impossible to stop Burden Overload once you invoke it. In other words, Chris has always been in an overloaded state so far, even if she’s been saving up arcane particles as much as possible.” Ivan shook his head, saying, his tone solemn, “So the crucial thing is, if she can’t find a way to defeat Sarina soon, she won’t be able to keep enduring it.”

“It’s totally an instinctive reaction coming from the body itself… This Chris from Holy Dawn Academy is actually so strong. Sarina’s arcane assassination skills can’t even leave the slightest mark on her.”

Looking at the calm and steady Chris dodging in the field, Nolan felt more and more uneasy.

“Boom!”

Another huge fireball suddenly appeared again in Chris’ hand, firing at a spot not far on one side behind her.

The instant this huge fireball rumbled away, Sarina’s figure suddenly appeared in that spot. Enveloped by the residual glint of arcane particles, she dodged the fireball with a flash.

“The mere trace of an undulation in the primordial energy when I switch to another arcane skill made her sense my real position.”

Sarina knew Chris’ counterattack would immediately begin now that she’d been forced in the open.

“Demonic Shura!”

True enough, Chris immediately spoke a swift incantation, a terrifying aura about to erupt from her.

“Demonic Shura, isn’t that another formidable taboo skill from Holy Dawn Academy? She learned that one as well?” This thought flashed in many spectators’ minds.

“Shadow Dragon—Rebirth!”

Sarina’s face suddenly became solemn.

Her hands quickly shifted through several motions. A mighty dragon aura burst forth along with countless black particles. With a terrifying dragon cry, the silhouette of a huge, winged shadow dragon more than ten meters high suddenly rose from the ground in front of her.

“What!”

But what made the spectators stare, what made her stare as well was, Chris hadn’t invoked any arcane skill whatsoever. The terrifying aura about her hadn’t erupted at all.

Chris was merely looking at her, full of vigilance, her feet constantly skipping the ground one after another while she quickly fell back.

“Was she only trying to corner me into using a lot of arcane particles? Doesn’t she care at all about the passing time?”

This thought flashed through Sarina’s mind. But her state of mind wasn’t affected at all.

She stretched her hands in front of her. The huge shadow dragon rumbled forward, charging in Chris’ direction as though she were its dinner.
