Chapter 733 - 677: Thunderbolt (1/2)

The battle was reaching its climax as both opponents were going all out. Bora was performing rapid and impressive leaps from one spot to the other while shooting high-velocity arrows that whistled in the air. Meanwhile, Sansal was maintaining the use of his strong Wind and Magma Magic, fusing the spells to hinder the archer and possibly immobilize him.

In contrast to his relatively unscathed opponent, the young Genesis Imoogi was bleeding profusely. The wound he had sustained in his c.h.e.s.t was serious enough to stiffen his movements and slow him down.

This final trial did not prohibit flight when fighting an opponent, however, most participants would remain in the ground for many reasons. Firstly, their bodies are more stabilized, especially in Bora's case as he was an archer. Secondly, while in mid-air, one would be an easy-target, easier than when you're sticking to the ground. Last but not least, flying in this arena, which was decently big, was limited, rendering the participants unwilling to rise in the air.

”The kid has an impressive control over Wind Magic.”

Isadore Malfront nodded his head continuously, seemingly approving of Sansal. He cast a cursory glance at the parasite, silently seeking his opinion, but the answer he received was nothing but silence, at least for an indeterminate while.

”It's nothing special.”

Unexpectedly, it was Lucy who commented on Isadore's remark. She stared at Sansal for a couple of seconds before redirecting her gaze toward the rapidly-moving Bora.

”By the way, who do you think will win? Or will you side with your student?”

”The winner of the battle is obvious, don't you think, Your Majesty?”

”I don't know about that. Sansal might be injured but he's still a Genesis Imoogi and he has yet to trans-”

The young king could not even finish his sentence, he just sat there, gawking at the large screen. The battle came to an abrupt end as Sansal raised his hand and forfeited, much to everyone's surprise.

”Isn't this too soon?”

Isadore frantically turned his head, trying to see someone who might agree with him. He was the only one who genuinely thought that Sansal stood a chance after sustaining such grave wounds.

Gutcha appeared in-between the two participants and loudly declared the winner before he transported them outside the arena.

Excluding Arthur, Lucy, a few other people, the rest were shocked to see the brief battle and its astonishing result. While it could not be denied that Bora was a talented youngster who excels at archery, none could predict that he'd be able to defeat his opponent with ease.

Actually, by the time the fight ended, he still had Nether Energy to spare and his body was but slightly injured.

The third battle of the last Trial had begun not long after Bora's victory. Holand from the Dark Blaze Team versus Cosima From the Demon Team.

Unlike the previous fight, this one lasted no less than forty minutes, and by its end, both participants were too exhausted to remain standing.

”I like him.”

”Ah?”

Isadore turned and looked at the parasite, confused by his words.

”That kid… Holand. He's a hidden gem.”

”Does that mean you want to recruit him?”

”...”
