Chapter 64：Spotless shield, ultimate defense (2/2)
POLYGAMY IS ALLOWED...
POLYGAMY IS ALLOWED...
POLYGAMY IS ALLOWED...
The words reverberated in his mind.
IT was only natural to someone like him who was born talented and the man who was destined to lead the academy to the highest podium would captivate all the beauties. Someone like him who was not only born handsome, rich, and strong as well, must claim all that he wants.
Not only in this academy but also in the whole world. When his name spread widely as he triumphantly endeavored to the apex of power.
Such thought was inside his head at the moment.
He could even feel that at this moment, Almina and Kesha were already attracted to him. He could let Almina as his number one and Kesha as his second. It only a matter of time that the blonde would also fall on him.
Only a little show-of of his ability is enough for the girls to scream his name in excitement.
And for his most hated person, the waste, he would give him a slight pity by making him a slave. A loyal dog that would only bark whenever he was told to.
Kiko grinned once again as he wetted his lips. Such a dream was not impossible for him to achieve. After all, he was strong.
Beside him, his friends were loudly screaming for the girl's name.
Suddenly,
”Ahaha, looks like the duel will come to an end much sooner,” Keremi mumbled in a descending tone.
Yman's brows slightly raised and focused his eyes on the two who were in a duel.
If he remembered correctly, wasn't the blonde had some kind of ability that enables her to easily deal damage even with the stone-body of golems?
As expected. After Yman remembered it. The wind was gathering on the tip of the arrow on the blonde's bow that was aimed at Kesha's direction.
Yman with wide eyes was staring at the arrow. Weirdly, he felt some similarity when he was channeling mana.
The wind gathered on the tip of the arrow, and when Maena released it, it tore the space in an instant but Kesha immediately raised her shield, then the arrow bore on the shield with low piercing noise.
It was defended?!
Most people thought in their minds. The arrow that looks so intimidating was successfully defended by the lavender haired beauty in a ponytail.
But the crowd suddenly went into a deep silence.
When they noticed a big hole in Kesha's stomach. Yet no blood could be seen. Only pieces of light particles that were slowly dropped onto the ground.
It was one of the best effects of resonance. Their body was just a copy of their original.
In this state even if they pierced their body, as long as there were still health points left, they wouldn't die immediately.
Well, they won't particularly die, they just reverted back into a normal person when HP reached zero. And could not use resonance again for approximately 1 month longest period.
However, they could still feel pain. The same pain was felt by Kesha when her body was pierced.
Kesha was agonizing from the pain of having her stomach being pierced by an inexplicable force.
Her complexion immediately turned pale.
She groaned. And her knees trembled.
”Kesha!” Almina screams her best friend's name worriedly.
... Kesha's health points plummeted to 800 HP in just a hit. Thanks to her high defense, her HP is still above the limit.
Her vision turned hazy. If she won't do something, she was certain that she would lose consciousness in a second.
Kesha in difficulty — bit her lip and summoned more mana from within her body. Then, ”Heal!” She shouted and next second, her body was enveloped by brilliance. It was her healing spell from her light element.
The hole on her stomach slowly went back to normal as more light particles were gathering on it like they were covering or reinforcing the wound.
Just a few seconds had passed when the wound was totally healed. In Kesha's mind, she could not let herself be defeated easily, after all, Kiko was watching. Although that attack from the blonde was unexpected to her.
”She really was above of my league,” Kesha mumbled.
Finally, the hole on her stomach was fully healed. And her health points went up once again.
However, before she could act again, another arrow that was also covered in the wind element came faster than the first one. Faster and more wind was visibly coating it.
Out of reflex, Kesha covered her body with her shield in hand.
Whoosh! Thud! Another low dull sound was heard when it landed on Kesha's shield and bore its tip on it. Kesha's shield already had 10+ arrows sticking on it turning into something like spikes.
Yet...
”The battle is over! The winner is — the archer Maena Hex!” Goki's loud announcement was heard.
The other trainees, even the mayor, had knitted their brows, wondering why the battle had been stopped so suddenly.
The girl with the shield was still fine and still standing within her defensive wall. And the arrow only hit the shield!
But when the judges showed the vital statistics screen. Kesha's health points were left with 500 only.
They also noticed a bigger hole in Kesha's stomach once again. Bigger than before.
They could not let the battle continue like this. If the health points reach zero, it will take longer for the magician to use resonance again with their deity if not using an expensive medicine which the academy did not want to waste their finance in mundane things.
And the instructors could not approve that a trainee will be absent at the training for long. Because the real magic training will begin soon.
So 500 HP is the boundary for a player to lose the match.
A second later, Kesha fell on the ground and lost consciousness. Then the resonance has been canceled. Her body went back to normal. The greenish glow from before is already gone. And a deity was floating beside her calling her name anxiously.
”Kesha! Kesha!” Almina immediately rushed to her side.
”Ha~haaa~! I never thought to see such a skill in the first duel. Indeed, this year's batch had much promising youth. Kudos to you Principal Mar for finding such a magician.” The Chief let out a yelp and praised the principal.
Principal Mar Mari cackled.
”Hmm...In any case, what kind of skill is that?” The mayor who was not proficient with magic matters asked in puzzlement.
”Ah, it was one of the signature abilities of one of the heroes who fought the Dominion Devil inside the infernal regions, the Netherworld or Abyss. (The chief face turned grim slightly.)” Then he continued saying: ”That skill is known as—”
”The Arrowbites?!” Yman exclaimed after Keremi explained the skill used by the blonde.
”Yes, my prince.”
