Chapter 217: Stingham Makes his Appearance (like an Idiot)!”

“This is…?!”

Warlock Hill’s expression had remained callous this entire time. But at this moment, his eyes suddenly enlarged and shocked flooded his face.

As he was struck by the golden ring of light, Hill felt his energy and strength being sapped out from every single particle of his body.

He felt as if he had been turned into a snowman. His body had weakened to a state where he couldn’t even move, as if every single particle had been frozen.

“What’s going on?!”

“What has happened?!

Cries of shock continuously rang out from the Golden Stag Academy’s portion of the stands.

Time seemed to have stopped atop the stage.

The now giant Moss, as well as Hill, were both completely still.

As golden ring of light remained atop the stage, everyone felt it tug at their mind and spirit.

The expressions of all of Golden Stag Academy’s team members, including Rinsyi and Megan, drastically changed.

“Sacrificial Halo… so this was the plan from the start!”

Ayrin was the first to react.

“It’s Sacrificial Halo!”

“It’s the long lost skill, Sacrificial Halo! How can this fellow use this arcane skill?!”

“What?! It’s Sacrificial Halo!”

Cries of shock spread across the stands like a tsunami.

Amidst the countless shouts, the rest of the spectators finally reacted as they realized what had occurred atop the stage.

“Moss, this fellow, has actually managed to learn Sacrificial Halo!”

Within the stands, Ivan, Ferguillo, Charlotte, and the others fell into states of immense shock.

Sacrificial Halo and Brambles Backlash were two legendary arcane skills which had become the glorious symbols of giants during the Era of the War with Dragons.

Numerous ancient books and records contained countless images of giants covered in snow white brambles and radiating golden rings of light as they charged forth into battle.

For one of these two legendary arcane skills, which were considered long lost, to suddenly appear at this moment, it was just too miraculous.

“Sacrificial Halo is a mutual destruction type skill. It instantly begins burning the user’s and their opponent’s vitalities… indeed, Moss has a greater vitality than Hill, so as long he expends a large amount of his own vitality, he should be able to bring Hill to a near death weakened state!”

The normally calm and composed Ivan was stunned for a while before he finally spoke in a dazed manner.

“Was this Holy Dawn Academy’s plan?!”

“They let Moss relax and nourish his body as much as he could before the match so they could use this strategy!”

The people in the stands also began to react at this time.

“So it was like this!”

Dragon Breath Academy’s team members all also felt an impulse to shout out loud.

This battle plan was just so straightforward!

Carter had simply let Moss relax and eat before the match so that his vitality would reach its peak state and allow him to endure the self-harm caused by this arcane skill!

“Hill!”

“Stay in there!”

The Golden Stag Academy students continuously cheered from the stands.

The dazzling golden ring of light in the centre of the stage began gradually dwindling, but Moss and Hill remained motionless.

“I… I… How can I… lose to this level of an opponent!”

Hill roared over and over again in his mind as he panted heavily. However, there was just no strength left in his body. He felt as if his body would immediately collapse if he moved even a single finger.

Drops of sweat uncontrollably formed on his skin. Even his feet were soaked in sweat.

“Ha!”

It wasn’t a terribly loud roar, but it caused everyone to feel as if a giant hammer had smashed into their chests.

“Moss!”

The arena seemed to tremble as countless shouts of encouragement rang out from the stands occupied by the students of Holy Dawn Academy and the other St Lauren schools.

Moss had taken a step towards Hill!

His enlarged body was also dripping with sweat, and seemed quite unsteady as if he might fall down at any moment.

But then, Moss took another step towards Hill, causing the cheers and screams to become even louder.

“I’m not afraid of you!”

“I’m gonna knock you off your pedestal!”

At this moment, Moss lifted his head. His body was extremely weak and his eyes had already become blood red, yet his body and blood boiled as thoughts of victory ran through his mind. He was certain he would not fall before taking down Hill!

“Hill actually…”

At this moment within the stands, all of Golden Stag Academy’s students became silent.

“Come! I… I absolutely will not lose to someone like you!’

Because of his strong pride and the humiliation he felt from being trapped by his opponent’s plan, the unable to move Hill gathered his strength and let out a frenzied cry.

However, this scream had exhausted the last drops of power within his body. In the next moment, he lost his balance.

A bang resounded across the stage.

Hill fell backwards and crashed into the ground.
