Chapter 351: Body Surpassing Consciousness (2/2)
Even during the Era of the War with Dragons, only a single Corps was capable of manipulating Demon Transforming Wax Crystals like this, the Golden Demon Corps. In other words, this ruin had once belonged to the Golden Demon Corps, one of the ten great corps under the Evil Dragon King’s control!
Only by surpassing his own limits would he be able to win against this copy of himself!
Icy flames appeared within Rinloran’s eyes.
……
“Boom!”
Ayrin flew backwards once more.
Over the last several seconds, he and Black Ayrin had exchanged several more strikes using the same skills.
And yet again, Ayrin had been suppressed until he was forced to use Dragon Scale Absorption to take the blow. There was nothing Ayrin could do as Black Ayrin didn’t feel pain, preventing Ayrin’s attacks and counterattacks from disrupting its flow.
“If it were Chris or Rinloran…”
Ayrin could taste the blood in his mouth yet he continued to ponder the same question and refused to give up.
He still had Holy Gate of Life, but once he used it, it would immediately be replicated by Black Ayrin.
Over the course of the battle, he had also come to an understanding about the field he was in. Like Rinloran, he had also realized that the skills Black Ayrin used originated from the domain around him!
“Rinloran is more agile than me… Chris has better fighting skills… what can I learn from them to improve myself? What will allow me to defeat this thing?” Ayrin thought as he climbed up once more.
At this moment, countless images flashed through his mind. In particular, he was drawn to his memory of the fight between Chris and Ferguillo during the match between Holy Dawn Academy and Iron Forest Academy.
Carter’s voice echoed in Ayrin’s mind, “Her body has already surpassed the limits of her consciousness.”
A glint flashed through Ayrin’s eyes.
……
“What is he trying to do?”
“Wasn’t he trying to stall for time to allow himself to recover?”
“Maybe he realized that it wasn’t feasible, and has decided to try going for all or nothing?”
All the observing arcane masters, including Leonardo and Clancy, felt their minds and bodies tense.
“Boom!”
Arcane energy rippled around Ayrin, causing a fluctuation which was visible with the naked eye.
It was evident that Ayrin had invoked Holy Gate of Life!
“Ice Witch’s Throne!”
A gigantic ring of ice bloomed at an astonishing speed!
“Boom!”
At the same time, an arcane energy fluctuation of the same terrifying magnitude occurred around Black Ayrin as it used Thunder Blaze Wall.
A seemingly infinite torrent of flames shot out from Black Ayrin to meet the ring of ice.
A boiling steam filled the area as ice and fire collided.
Without hesitation, Ayrin charged at full speed through the ice and flames towards Black Ayrin.
“Hiss…”
The boiling steam and blazing flames caused blisters to form atop his body as the shards of broken ice made countless thin cuts atop his skin.
But his face remained calm. It was evident that he was in a state of extreme focus.
“Rip!”
Ayrin’s fist tore through the air.
In but a single instant, his fist reached the chest of the emotionless Black Ayrin.
“Bang!”
But right at this moment, a sturdy leg smashed into Ayrin’s waist like a blunt axe, causing his entire body to bend.
Ayrin’s face turned purple as he let out a fierce roar and steeled his legs, enduring the blow and connecting his own punch onto Black Ayrin’s chest.
“Bang bang bang bang…”
Countless afterimages began to appear as Ayrin and Black Ayrin exchanged blow after blow.
“Close combat?”
“He is trying to use close combat to prevent the crystal demon from gathering arcane energy and using skills?”
“Fighting close combat at such a speed will indeed prevent the crystal demon from using skills… but using close combat to determine victory and defeat… the crystal demon is a complete copy of Ayrin and has his close combat skills as well. He cannot win with this method regardless of how monstrous his endurance is!”
All of the observing referees and medical masters silently entered deep thought as they pondered Ayrin’s actions.
“What is he trying to do?” Leonardo was also perplexed.
As far as he could tell, Ayrin’s attempt was near suicidal.
“Could he……”
A strange light flickered through Clancy’s eyes as he suddenly shook his head in a regretful manner and muttered to himself, “It’s a pity… his plan, it probably won’t work?”
