Chapter 226: Ayrin vs. Rinsyi, A Battle of Geniuses! (2/2)
“The power of the storm’s eye has shown itself!”
“Rinsyi’s invocation speed must be the fastest of all the participants in this competition!”
Only when the sound of the pale blue wind blades tearing through Ayrin’s clothes rang through the arena did the spectators finally wake up as they cried out in shock.
“Too fast!”
Many students of Holy Dawn Academy abruptly paled as they watched Ayrin simply contract his body and take the blows because he was unable to dodge.
Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!
Three streaks of blood simultaneously appeared atop Ayrin’s body.
Three long and narrow wounds surfaced on Ayrin’s chest and back.
“It’s Dragon Scale Absorption!”
Several arcane masters in the stands immediately realized that Ayrin had used Dragon Scale Absorption to block Rinsyi’s attack. Thus, although he was injured, the wounds were superficial.
“He’s injured!”
But for the many demoralized and dispirited Golden Stag Academy students, this scene was invigorating as they abruptly erupted into cheers and cries of excitement in the stands.
“Rinsyi is indeed Rinsyi. With such a basic and inexpensive arcane skill, he was already able to injure Ayrin!”
This thought emerged in the minds of many other tournament participants who were sitting in the stands and watching.
“What is Ayrin thinking?”
“He didn’t dodge and instead tried to compete head to head against Rinsyi in power, but with the level of his arcane particles, it’s impossible for him to match Rinsyi!”
Many people found Ayrin’s actions incomprehensible. He clearly couldn’t match Rinsyi’s invocation speed, yet he remained motionless where he was, not showing a single intent of dodging or moving.
“He’s injured?”
“Indeed, regardless of how monstrous he is, in the end, he is only an arcane master who has opened two gates!”
Upon seeing three wounds appear over Ayrin’s body, a light flickered through Rinsyi’s eyes as he felt the pressure riding on his heart greatly ease.
His usual confidence and pride quickly began to return.
“Monsoon’s Avatar!”
A faint yellow sheen suddenly gathered in his pupils and began to revolve, forming two yellow vortexes.
An enormous whirlwind began to spin over Ayrin’s head.
Countless visible wind blades formed within as the whirlwind began to rotate even faster and it took the form of a colossal human. It looked like the divine spirit which called monsoons in legend.
“This is one of House Baratheon’s taboo skills!”
“His Storm Dragon Bloodline provides such a terrifying supplement! If someone else at the same level as Rinsyi were to use this taboo skill, it’s power wouldn’t even be half of Rinsyi’s!”
The expressions of many spectators changed. From their point of view, Ayrin’s only chance was to use Warlock Variation again and see if it could create any weird arcane energy or effect which could somehow block Rinsyi’s strike.
“There is only one chance!”
“I must do as I practiced with Ferguillo. This must hit, I cannot miss!”
“I could hit Ferguillo… so I can definitely hit you!”
No one would have believed that in Ayrin’s mind, he had no intention of using Warlock Variation, and was repeating the same words over and over.
Ayrin’s gaze was firmly pinned on Rinsyi’s figure. Because of his extreme concentration, he felt as if the flow of time had slightly slowed down.
“Now!”
“This is my one chance!”
The moment the “Monsoon’s Avatar” completely formed above his head, the motionless Ayrin suddenly exploded at full speed to his left.
“Gate of Life!”
A silent scream echoed through Ayrin’s mind.
The five unopened gates in his body simultaneously opened.
Boom!
The air surrounding him violently exploded.
“What!”
“What are these terrifying arcane energy fluctuations?!”
“How can he have so many arcane particles surging out?!”
At this moment, Rinsyi subconsciously quivered as an inexplicable sensation washed over him, causing his pupils to violently contract and then expand.
In the stands, the calm and quiet Jean Camus subconsciously rose from his seat as a wave rippled through his body.
Arcane particles continued to surge out of Ayrin without any sign of stopping as he thunderously roared, “Ruin Fetters!”
Countless black particles covered in numerous streaks of rippling black lightning abruptly condensed in the air around Rinsyi.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, these black particles linked together to form a ring of black light. Countless spines abruptly protruded out from the surface and pierced Rinsyi!
