Chapter 329: Fire and water (1/2)

Now in their advance resonance, Kiko and Brai had once again clashed.

Swoosh~

While wielding the heavy flat sword in his hands, Kiko bolted like a cannon bullet in Brai's direction.

Brai confronted him with his Katana.

Although it was daytime, sparks were visibly flying every time their weapons clashed.

Ting! Ting! Ting! Such rapid high pitched tones could be heard. And all of these were happening quickly, like a fast-forward of a movie scene.

There was a noticeable increase in both party's attributes. Brai had become faster, and Kiko's attack had become more powerful.

The battle entered the last minute. Everyone could not utter a single word as they were so engaged watching the current match.

Feeling the pressure of the match, even Kiko could not utter a single mockery while trying to parry all of Brai's rapid attacks. He was so absorbed in defending himself.

A thrust coming from his side almost hit him, but Kiko was able to block it using the flat side of his sword as his shield.

TIIIING!

A much higher tone reverberated when their weapons came across each other once again.

Ohhh!

Some audience members groaned in excitement, most were wondering how this match was going to end. Any of the two could be reasonable to win.

After the attack was blocked, Brai did not stop with just that, he shifted his body's center of gravity and spun around along with a horizontal strike.

”F*ck!” Kiko groaned inwardly.

Strands of hair flew in the air. Fortunately, Kiko was able to duck. If not, it would be his head that would be flying at the moment.

Brai's attack was sharp and fast. Every thrust was accurate.

Grr! He gnashed his teeth in annoyance. The hair he tended carefully was cut so easily. Fortunately, only a tiny bit of it was cut. Still, Kiko's pride could not take it. He disliked being on the receiving end. However, Brai's relentless attacks could not give him a margin.

He didn't want to admit it, but Brai was the greatest opponent he encountered. Still, he believed it wasn't enough to defeat him.

While believing he was unbeatable, something rose beneath him.

”!!”

When Kiko noticed it, it was already too late. He was thrown, spinning in the air. It was a gust of wind that suddenly materialized under his feet. Kiko was now inside it, spinning like he was inside a washing machine.

Brai surprised Kiko with a sudden use of his wind element. Kiko was now spinning in the air, looking somewhat vulnerable.

'Tsk! I never thought this Brai had so much to show,' Kiko thought both in annoyance and for his failure to comprehend Brai's action.

Three wind blades were closing to finish the spinning Kiko in mid-air.

The wind blades were bigger and looked powerful than any other wind blades that the other participants showed in this competition.

Unexpectedly though, before the wind blades could reach him, they exploded. Then Kiko's body was engulfed by flame. His spinning suddenly stopped and now he's floating in mid-air with wings spread open.

”Majestic!”

The announcer Instructor Beth could not help but exclaim in excitement upon seeing Kiko's magical form. After all, he was in his advanced resonance, and he had the looked of a salamander with his fiery armor.

Most of the people around shared the same thought as Instructor Beth. Kiko truly looked magical in his current form. Especially with the addition of flames around him.
