Chapter 229: If You Wish to Kill Me, You Must Put Your Life on the Line (2/2)
Rinsyi’s body had turned completely gray as he stood motionlessly atop the stage. He seemed to have lost all ability to function as he just faintly breathed without any hint of vitality.
“Even his consciousness seems to have unraveled…”
Clancy and the assistant referees, who had gathered beside him, all sucked in a breath of cold air.
“What now?”
At this moment, even the members of the two medical teams, who had been prepared to rush onto the stage, were completely dazed and lost.
Any spiritual strength within Rinsyi’s body had been completely eradicated and his current behavior resembled someone who was brain dead, causing them to not know what to do.
“Curse of the Death Lord. A taboo skill used by some cursed arcane masters with abnormal bloodlines during the Era of the War with Dragons which uses all of one’s spiritual strength to curse the opponent and seal and extinguish their consciousness.”
In the stands, Songat slowly sighed as he said, “It seems like House Baratheon’s Body of Vengeance is connected with the arcane skills of those zombie-like cursed arcane masters… is this what goes around comes around? Rinsyi wanted to use a powerful spiritual domain to destroy Ayrin’s spirit and turn him into a vegetable, yet in the end, it was he himself who ended up in this state.”
“Are there still methods to heal him after being struck by the power of this taboo skill?”
Liszt slowly exhaled as he turned his head to look at Songat and asked.
“Ayrin’s Warlock Variation only reproduced a portion of the power of Curse of the Lord of Death, so perhaps there is a method to cure Rinsyi. However, I personally do not have one,” Songat replied as he shook his head.
Liszt remained silent.
If the best medical master of the Office of Special Affairs had no way of healing Rinsyi, then there was no one in the entire Kingdom of Eiche who could do so.
“Rinsyi…”
“Rinsyi used a spiritual attack, but it was broken through by Ayrin and he suffered a deadly blow in return… he’s become a vegetable?”
As more and more people recovered from their shock, cries began to erupt from all over the arena.
“Rinsyi actually…”
In the stands, Dragon Breath Academy’s Morgan, along with many other members of the various participating teams, were completely speechless.
Holy Dawn Academy had defeated Golden Stag Academy.
But this result had already been completely forgotten due to the shock generated by Rinsyi’s current state after suffering such an attack.
His current state was no different than if he had been directly killed off.
Had this battle caused the most brilliant genius of his generation from House Baratheon to eternally lose his place in the annals of the Kingdom of Eiche?!”
“If you wish to kill me, you must put your life on the line!”
At this moment, many people suddenly remembered the words which Ayrin had said to Rinsyi at the start of the match.
Rinsyi had indeed attempted to kill Ayrin, yet in the end, he had been beaten into this state where his life was on the line.
“We lost… even captain Rinsyi was…”
Many of the formerly arrogant and domineering students of Golden Stag Academy couldn’t hold back their tears any longer as they began to weep in the stands.
“What happened?”
But at this moment, everyone’s eyes abruptly widened once more as Ayrin, blinking his eyes as if he had just woken up from a dream, exclaimed in shock upon seeing Rinsyi’s vegetative state.
“We won!”
“Ayrin, this fellow…”
The extremely worried Rinloran let out a sigh of relief as an unprecedented feeling of joy surged through his body.
“This must be what true happiness feels like!”
A resplendent smile appeared on the face of the eternally icy and hard to interact with Rinloran.
“Ayrin, nice victory!”
Rinloran loudly applauded Ayrin as he went to clap his hands, but because one of his arms was still unable to move, he was unable to do so.
But at this moment, he saw Chris also only raise a single hand beside him. She seemed like she wanted to clap as well, but also only had one arm which could move.
Clap! Clap! Clap! …
Driven by their indescribable emotions, Rinloran and Chris began to clap together with their respective hands.
The image of these two ‘one-armed people’ clapping was quite comical, but at this moment, no one could laugh.
“Victory!”
It was like waking up from a dream as countless cheers and shouts of celebration abruptly burst from the stands.
The many students of Holy Dawn Academy began hugging their neighbors and applauding atop the stands.
“Rinsyi was defeated just like this?”
Only now did Ayrin finally recover. As he looked at Rinsyi, he asked Clancy and the other, “How is he?”
“Ayrin! We will never let you go! We will definitely kill you and take our revenge!”
Before Clancy and the others could even respond, several substitutes of Golden Stag Academy had already shouted out in a maddened rage.
“What?”
Ayrin looked blankly at them, then waved his fist at them as he said in a voice which was tired, but still full of conviction, “If you wish to kill me, then you must also put your own life on the line.”
His reply silenced the several Golden Stag Academy substitutes as they fell into a daze.
