Chapter 353: Monsters Who Learn From Each Other (1/2)

Complicated expressions emerged on the faces of the referees and medical masters.

Ayrin had already managed to surpass himself.

However, it was not going to be enough for him to clear the challenge.

“What?”

But at this moment, all of them gasped in shock as powerful arcane energy fluctuations appeared around Ayrin once more.

Countless tiny drops of water began to condense around Ayrin at an alarming rate, encompassing an area around him!

“Is this a domain? He still has enough arcane particles to invoke a domain?” Leonardo exclaimed.

“World of Water!”

Within the cube of clear water, Ayrin deliberately slowed down his movements. Yet his face showed that he was more focused than ever.

He wanted to see if Black Ayrin, which was right next to him, was still able to invoke skills while within his domain.

An arcane energy fluctuation rippled from Black Ayrin’s body.

In response, Ayrin’s movements abruptly accelerated once more. Bubbles appeared in the water as his right fist burst through the water towards Black Ayrin and struck it.

Black Ayrin staggered as the arcane energy fluctuation around it abruptly disappeared.

“This domain is too weak! It’s unable to completely isolate us from the arcane energy outside it!” Ayrin realized immediately. However, World of Water, which he had learned from the Black Witch’s remnants, was the only taboo domain which he currently could invoke.

Indeed, he could clearly sense Black Ayrin still receiving arcane energy while within World of Water. However, it was much less as the arcane energy fluctuation earlier was much weaker. World of Water had successfully obstructed some of the arcane energy.

Black Ayrin was dependant on receiving this arcane energy, which was produced by the domain Ayrin had been directed to, to use skills.

“What should I do next?”

Ayrin’s barrage of fists and kicks had begun to rain upon Black Ayrin once more, preventing it from invoking skills as Ayrin gradually accumulated arcane particles.

Before long, he had enough to invoke another skill, but he temporarily could not think of any skill which could cause fatal damage to Black Ayrin.

But another problem arose first. As Ayrin had no skills for breathing under water, he quickly began to asphyxiate, causing him to experience symptoms of dizziness, headaches and weakness, among others.

“Do I have to withdraw from World of Water?” Ayrin quickly realized that he would be unable to continue down this route.

Right at this moment, an image of his battle against the Allen Brothers appeared in his mind.

It was a situation like his current one. He, Stingham and Rinloran had been trapped in water and rendered unable to breathe.

At that time, there had been countless droplets of water trying to invade their bodies as well, causing them to pale and expand until they were on the verge of bursting.

“Water Rendering Boundary!”

Ayrin’s body trembled inexplicably.

His battle against the Allen Brothers had been his closest call with death. If not for Lotton’s appearance, he surely would have died, along with Stingham and Rinloran.

As a result, he had an incomparably deep impression of this battle.

“If I can use this skill… if I can make so many droplets of water invade its body, perhaps I will be able to defeat it!”

No one enjoyed thinking about their close calls, but at this moment, as this idea entered Ayrin’s mind like a bolt of lightning, Ayrin couldn’t help but try his best to recall his senses at that moment to perceive the situation – to perceive the Water Rendering Boundary!

Ayrin’s face slowly turned purple. His head felt as if it was about to split and his chest burned as if it was on fire. He could feel life slowly draining out of every single one of the particles which made up his body.

But this sensation of death also caused his recollection of the Water Rendering Boundary to become increasingly clear.

“What is Ayrin trying to do?!”

“Should we step in?”

“If this continues, he will suffocate and die within the next ten or so seconds!”

Looks of horror appeared on the faces of all the referees and medical masters.

“Still not willing to give up?”

“Could it be that you still have other methods to try defeating this crystal demon?”

Clancy and Leonardo both gulped.

After what had happened earlier, they knew very clearly that these six monstrous children of Holy Dawn Academy were willing to put anything on the line for victory, including their lives.

Thus… if another ten seconds passed and nothing happened, they would stop the battle.

“Am I about to drown to death?”

“After so long… water has started seeping through my pores into my body… this feeling!”

Ayrin fiercely raised his head, revealing his bloodshot eyes.

The sensation he had previously felt while breaking down the droplets of water invading his body into arcane particles and water emerged in his mind.

“Water Rendering Boundary… so it’s like this!”

“Die!” Ayrin roared within the cube of water.

“Sploosh!”

His body was like a meteor as it erupted from within the water. Simultaneously, a domain energy began to ripple within the water as arcane energy began to fluctuate intensely around his body.

“What’s this? Such a strong arcane energy fluctuation! Is he using Holy Gate of Life again?!”

“How can he use Holy Gate of Life twice?!”

“This… it’s another domain?”

“By relying on Holy Gate of Life, he has barely managed to invoke this domain. And it is also water related! Just what domain will it be?!”

As Ayrin burst forth from the water, the referees and medical masters broke into chaos as they let out cries of shock and began to breathe once more.

The moment Ayrin stopped his barrage of strikes, arcane energy immediately began to fluctuate around Black Ayrin. But at the same time, countless tiny droplets of water which were near invisible to the naked eye penetrated into its body at an alarming rate.

These invading droplets of water quickly began disrupting the complex structure of black crystal particles within its body.

The arcane energy around it immediately dissipated.

“Bingo!”

“This domain is its kryptonite!”

As Ayrin gasped for air, a radiant and warm look of joy appeared in his eyes.

“This is the Water Rendering Boundary of the Kingdom of Doa’s Tranquil Water!”

“Tranquil Water died within Fallen Shadow Valley… how could Ayrin have learned it?!”

Leonardo was at a complete loss for word.

Meanwhile, Black Ayrin’s body quickly swelled.

After but a couple moments, cracks began to appear on the surface of the black crystal demon as water seeped out.

The crystal demon had completely lost the ability to move as it floated motionlessly in the water, its body continuing to swell.

“Bang!”

To the shock of the observers, the crystal demon abruptly exploded, sending water everywhere.
