Chapter 334: All out defense (2/2)

Magical energies burst out from their bodies upon hearing the bell notification.

Klein's figure disappeared from his position and reappeared in mid-air, above Julie. Now with shining razor-sharp claws on each of his hands. He swung them down in Julie's direction.

Three waves shot in haste to Julie.

Fwoosh~! Fwoosh~! Swoosh~!

Bang!

An explosion happened. However, there was a noticeable displeased expression on Klein's face.

”Those waves were made of wind elements. They are sharp and could easily slice a common metal.

That said, it shouldn't have usually exploded. And there shouldn't have been an explosion in the first place. It must be because those waves suffered an obstruction that they exploded. Meaning, those waves failed to slice his opponent. It's the reason for his displeasure,” Yman narrated for Almina and Maena to understand.

Both girls were wondering why Klein showed such a displeased face after his attack hit his opponent.

Almina was standing on his right side, while Maena took his left side.

Because of the explosion, a cloud of smoke rose, obstructing everyone's vision of Julie's figure.

At the same time that Klein's foot landed on the stage that the gathering smoke on Julie cleared.

”Woah! Sweetchocobo is unscathed!” Mora Liz jovially announced.

Some audience members were dumbfounded at hearing the word Sweetchocobo. It was Julie's new codename for this competition. Contrary to her looks, she was truly fond of cute things. In this world, there was a small shiny mythical bird known as Chocobo.

Regardless, just as Mora Liz said, Julie was standing still in her original position, unhurt. But, there was a peculiar shine on her armor.

”That's--”

Maena muttered but stopped.

”Mhm, Fortification, right?” Almina followed.

”Yes, that's exactly a Fortification ability,” Yman confirmed. He also knew how to cast it, but Julie's Fortification ability surprised him. It was on a whole different level. Those wind attacks could not even scratch her.

Che!

On the stage, Klein spat on his side before his face twitched. ”Kuhaha,” he laughed. ”Not bad, not bad!”

”However…”

”That's only a mere test!” He said as he lifted his hand while grinning.

No one doubted his words as he was from an elite class. But, it's weird that Julie's health points remained 100%! It only meant that she completely blocked Klein's attack.

”Heh,” Julie scoffed. ”Come on, Dwarf!” Then she challenged him to attack more.

”W-what did you say, grr!” Upon hearing her, Klein gnashed his teeth and his face turned dark, out of anger.

Julie secretly grinned as her provocation succeeded. The next moment, Wind Waves were raining unceasingly on Julie.

Klein continuously slashing his claws in the air, creating sharp Wind Waves that shoot rapidly to the immobile Julie. She was receiving all those Wind Waves.

It was a terrifying onslaught. Everyone gawked at the scene.

While leaning on the wall, Kiko secretly sighed. He thought Klein was an idiot. It was clear that his enemy was provoking him. And he took that bait without a second thought. Well, he wasn't concerned about it. He just wanted their match to end faster because he was itching to fight-- that guy. His line of sight turned to Yman as he thought it in his mind.

While Kein continuously rained Wind Waves to Julie, they suddenly heard a rumbling noise. Then the stage was seemingly vibrating.

”What is that?!” Mora Liz shouted when she noticed a round shadow inside the smoke to where Julie was.

The shadow rolled out of the smoke and shot like a cannon bullet towards Klein's direction. At this moment, Klein already stopped attacking and stared at the fast-approaching shadow with wide eyes.
