Chapter 324: Beckoning Under the Sun! (2/2)
“The Lizard King’s Blood Soul is a crystal condensed from the blood of a Lizard King. By using arcane particles, the wielder can stimulate the toxins contained within the blood crystal to generate a poisonous attack. Simply put, it is an amplification artifact for poison type arcane skills,” Minlur explained. “Unfortunately for Lotner, his Blood Sucking Amulet has absorbed some of the toxins contained within this blood crystal.”
“He was trying to eat but accidently ate shit!” After a moment’s pause, Stingham began laughing merrily as he said, “Serves him right!”
“……”
The students of Abel Academy remained speechless. Meanwhile, Kelly’s face began uncontrollably twitching.
Although Lotner still had not used the Essence Burning Stone, it was also no longer useful in his current situation.
Kelly felt immense regret, but there was nothing he could do. There was no way for him to retract his earlier words. He could only kick himself for not heeding Minlur’s words, that his students were no opponent for Ayrin and the others.
“What is it this time?!”
More exclamations rang out as Ayrin took out yet another object from his pocket. This time, it was a dark blue crystal slate.
The slate was shaped like a flat diamond, but its surface was not nearly as perfect and flat as it seemed.
An extremely frigid aura radiated out from the crystal.
“Fragment of Absolute Frost!”
“Is that not the Fragment of Absolute Frost wielded by the Evil Dragon Follower, the Demonic Ice King Makena?! How is it in his hands?!”
“How can he have so many artifacts in his possession?!”
Kelly nearly screamed at the sky in frustration.
“Just a couple arcane particles should be enough?”
Ayrin had such a feeling as he tightly grasped the icy fragment.
Without the slightest amount of hesitation, Ayrin inserted the few arcane particles that he had just condensed.
Boom!
A torrent of ice and snow abruptly erupted forth from his hand.
“Ack!”
Lotner let out a miserable scream as he could only activate the Essence Burning Stone and face the torrent of ice and snow head on.
Countless blazing flames appeared and formed a barrier of fire around him.
Bang!
The barrier of flames immediately shattered upon contact with the torrent of ice and snow. In the next moment, a frost covered Lotner flew backwards and crashed heavily into the ground.
“Captain!” the other students of Abel Academy cried out as they rushed to his side in fear.
“……”
They quickly realized that Lotner was not heavily injured and on the verge of dying, but just frozen solid and unable to move.
At this moment, the little yellow dragon within Ayrin’s chest pocket proudly raised the pouch around its neck. An expression which seemed to say, ‘what a bunch of idiots, trying to compete with me,’ emerged on its face as it took out an earthen yellow gem. It seemed to be trying to show off now.
“It ended just like that? Wasn’t it a little too easy?”
Stingham felt some frustration as he said, “It ended before anything special happened. Did you guys really come here to challenge us?”
Stingham’s words were like pouring salt onto a wound, but by this time, the attention of Abel Academy’s students had already moved… onto the new crystal which had appeared in Ayrin’s hand!
“That’s… the Spiraling Earth Gem?!”
Seeing the earthen yellow gem in Ayrin’s hand and the constant cloud of dust swirling around it, Kelly felt an urge to spit blood.
“Spiraling Earth Gem?”
“The artifact wielded by Minro, the captain of the Evil Dragon Follower’s Swirling Earth squad. The gem can instantly transform the earth under someone’s feet into a violent vortex!”
“If he had taken out this gem from the start, Lotner would likely have been done for, even with the Domain of Time…”
“Just how can this child have so many artifacts in his possession?!”
The Abel Academy team members dumbfoundedly exchanged looks with each other.
“It seems like Great King Faerie Dragon is not only a miser, but a show off…” Stingham and Rinloran’s expressions both turned cunning.
“Alright, I don’t know why you guys enjoy being abused, but it is all over now. So like we agreed on, hand over the Scriptures of Time, Essence Burning Stone, and Blood Sucking Amulet,” Stingham gloating looked towards Kelly and the Abel Academy students.
All of them, including Kelly, felt a sudden urge to kill themselves.
“But winning just because of artifacts… it doesn’t feel fair. What’s the point?” Ayrin abruptly interjected at this moment.
“Whether the Scriptures of Time, or Treasured Book of Sealing, or a legendary artifact like Lover’s Corpse, against truly strong arcane masters, they will not be of any use. The truly strong are strong because of their own skills.”
Images of the Allen Brothers, Jean Camus, and the other strong figures whom he had encountered flashed through his mind.
“So let us fight a round without any artifacts!”
Ayrin’s blood began to boil again as he gazed at the members of the Abel Academy team with eyes full of fighting intent and said, “We shall still wager the Moon Echo Sword and Spirit Obstruction Gem against your Scriptures of Time, Essence Burning Stone, and Blood Sucking Amulet. But this time, neither side will use the artifacts. We will battle, and winner will take all. What do you say?”
“Ayrin, you are quite the fellow indeed. Even without much guidance, you have already discovered the path of true power?” Minlur couldn’t help but boisterously laugh as he looked at Ayrin.
“Idiot! Crazy!” Stingham shouted in frustration.
All of Abel Academy’s team members were completely speechless.
“What do you say?! Brave warriors! Do you dare fight?” Ayrin shouted under the radiant sun as he menacingly waved his fist towards them.
“Is there anything else to lose?”
“We have opened more arcane gates, there is no reason we would not dare!”
‘Sleeptalker’ Presley let out a deep sigh as he walking forth from the midst of the Abel Academy team members.
