Chapter 324: Beckoning Under the Sun! (1/2)

“What is this?” Ayrin exclaimed in surprise.

He also had no clue as to what this radiantly sparkling little crystal skull was.

“Starlord’s Lost Skull!” Kelly shouted as he stared at the skull in Ayrin’s hand.

“Starlord’s Lost Skull?”

Ayrin was still clueless. Moreover, he had expended almost all his arcane particles just now to use the Treasured Book of Sealing. There was nothing left in his tank for him to try and use the artifact in his hands.

“Don’t target him with any arcane skills!”

“Starlord’s Lost Skull is a reactive artifact. If it senses any arcane energy approach it, it will awaken and form a defensive layer of stardust around its wielder! Any skills you use against him right now will just be a waste of arcane particles!” Kelly continued, this time towards Lotner.

“If any skill comes my way, this thing will automatically defend against it?”

Ayrin was pleasantly surprised as he immediately began condensing arcane particles.

“How can he have an artifact like this?!”

“This fellow is too perverse. He is the one who took out the artifact to stall for time to replenish his arcane particles, yet he acts like he himself is the most surprised about it.”

The students of Abel Academy felt chills running down their backs as any thoughts of victory slowly disappeared from their minds.

“I can’t attack…”

Lotner’s face had long since turned as pale as snow.

No matter how he looked at it, this battle had already ended in his complete defeat.

The Scriptures of Time required a full month to recharge energy to release its domain, so it was no longer of any use. Furthermore, the very Domain of Time which it had released had been sealed away by Ayrin and would likely be used against him any moment now.

Prior to the appearance of the skull in Ayrin’s hand, Lotner had kept hope. He would attack before Ayrin could replenish any of the arcane particles he had consumed by sealing away the Domain of Time. But now, with the appearance of the skull, he couldn’t attack. There was nothing he could do but watch, it was hopeless.

He silently observed Ayrin, who was completely motionless as he focused on condensing arcane particles.

“Idiot! Do you actually have no clue as to what to do?!”

The veins running atop Kelly’s forehead seemed to be on the verge of bursting as he let out an angry outburst. He could lose his Scriptures of Time at any moment!

“Just because you can’t attack doesn’t mean you can’t use arcane skills! Do you forget that you have the Blood Sucking Amulet in your possession as well?!” Kelly let out a cold-blooded scream as he glared at Lotner.

“Ah! That’s right! I still have the Blood Sucking Amulet!” Lotner shivered and immediately reacted.

“Hey, Teacher Minlur, all of this constant shouting and reminding, is this not breaking the rules?” Stingham asked at this moment.

“Break what rules? It’s not like this is the national tournament. If you see something and want to shout it out, feel free to,” the several Abel Academy students shouted.

Stingham’s response, however, stunned them speechless. “It’s fine. You are all losers to begin with. No matter what, it’s impossible for you all to defeat a monster like Ayrin,” Stingham shouted while giggling.

Whoosh!

At this moment, Lotner’s figure disappeared as he charged towards Ayrin. A vicious wind howled as he threw a thundering punch towards Ayrin’s face.

Bang! An explosive sound rumbled atop the plain as Ayrin raised a hand and blocked Lotner.

“What strength! He is actually stronger than me?!”

Lotner’s face turned ugly as his body shakily fell backwards and he felt his right hand turn numb.

“Eh?”

At the same time, a look of surprise emerged across Ayrin’s face.

It was because at that moment, he could feel a strange suction force sucking quite a bit of strength and energy out of his flesh and blood.

“It must be the ability of the Blood Sucking Amulet. It is quite similar to the Field of Blood domain.”

Sensing that a prolonged melee would be disadvantageous, Ayrin subconsciously created some distance between Lotner and himself.

“But I still cannot use arcane particles… do I really have to try to slowly whittle him away and try to outlast him?”

As Ayrin thought about his options some more, he became certain that finishing this fight would require an enormous consumption of strength. As a result, he began thinking about using the Domain of Time which he had sealed away.

“Eh?”

But right at this moment, he felt movement in his chest pocket once more as the little yellow dragon took something out of its pouch and stuffed it into his pocket.

“What’s this?”

As Ayrin put his hand into his pocket and took out the object, he felt a scorching heat sweep across his palm. It was a red gem similar to the Essence Burning Stone which Lotner had revealed earlier.

A scorching heat which contained the faint scent of blood emanated from the surface of the stone, which was a perfect sphere about the size of a human eyeball.

Upon seeing Ayrin back away, Lotner’s spirit soared. He charged towards Ayrin once more, leaving numerous afterimages in his wake.

Bang! Another explosion.

Ayrin accurately blocked Lotner’s fist once more as the two of them separated yet again.

“What?!” Cries of shock rang out from the side of Abel Academy.

It was because they could clearly see Lotner’s face abruptly become horribly flushed.

“So hot! I’ve been poisoned! What happened?!”

After the exchange, Lotner felt energy flood his body once more due to the Blood Sucking Amulet. Only this time, the energy contained an astonishing toxicity. The moment the energy entered his body, he felt as if his inner organs had been set ablaze, causing him severe internal pain.

“Lizard King’s Blood Soul!”

Kelly’s gaze turned murderous as he stared at Ayrin’s left hand.

“Poisoned?”

“Lizard King’s Blood Soul? You mean this thing right here?” Ayrin extended his left hand towards Kelly, as if trying to give him a closer look. “Do you know what this thing is?”

“You pervert! Still acting?! If you didn’t know what it is, then why would you take it out against Lotner?!” Angry expressions emerged on the faces of the Abel Academy students as they began to think that Ayrin was even crazier than they had thought.
