Chapter 335 - Death Of...? (1/2)

-2 left-

The whisper sighed again, but no one stopped to think about it even for a second.

”AGH! Let me wipe that smile out of your face!” shouted berk as he threw a punch at Blaze.

It hit Blaze directly in the face, but the ice had abruptly protected him from any serious damage.

Responding quickly, Blaze summoned a lance from behind Berk, threatening to kill him on the spot.

”Tch!”

He spat in disappointment; the lance could barely damage the golden armor before it melted from the heat.

”Try all you want! This isn't called Armor of Heavens for nothing!” Berk shouted in delight as he made his next move.

Although he was one rank above Blaze as a Fighter, he was still a whole stage below him in terms of a Mage!

With Blaze's absolute raw power and his years of experience, it should have been an easy fight for him. Yet, he was struggling so much because of this technique which he had never seen before.

'A spell or an artifact? Whatever it is, it shouldn't last long,' Blaze thought as he continued dodging and simultaneously attacking Berk.

Something so strong must be using Berk's own Mana, so he wasn't invincible. It would run out or he would get exhausted sooner or later. 'That must be the case, otherwise, with this technique's help, the Leonard Dynasty would have already been ruling the whole continent,' Blaze concluded while keeping his focus on Berk.

The ice and the fire element raged all around the hill like wild beasts!

The confused audience could only wonder whether they were still in the same competition or not. They were certain that except for the man fighting the Rank-10 Beast, no one exceeded Rank-8 as a Mage inside the barrier.

Yet, why did it look like two Rank-9 Mages were fighting!?

”AHH!”

”ENTERTAIN ME!!”

The latter shout was from Blaze. He wasn't able to even put a scratch on Berk, but the beastly smile on his face highly contradicted his current situation.

This was what he wanted! A worthy opponent that he could overcome with his own strength!

Each strike that he missed, each attack that he had a hard time blocking further pumped his blood.

'This is what I wanted!!! Let's see what you can do.'

Berk whipped a lash of wire at Blaze, expecting Blaze to either dodge or slow down his momentum by blocking.

”F*ck!” Berk cursed as he saw what actually went down.

Blaze had no intentions of dodging or blocking the attack!

He rushed through the flames which could melt rock boulders in a matter of seconds and aimed straight at Berk's weakness!

Berk was caught off-guard as he didn't expect Blaze to be even crazier than him.

Blaze's fist landed right on Berk's face, shooting him in an abandoned building a little far away.

With that, everything turned quiet. Even those still trying to fight each other amidst this confusion stopped to understand the outcome.

After the dust settled, people could see the shadow of the man groggily standing up from the rubbles. A few seconds later, the proud appearance of Berk became visible.

He looked just as flashy as before, but blood was currently dripping down his nose, ruining the image of the invincible general who could take down the whole world with his momentum.

Unfortunately, he wasn't the only one hurt in this exchange. Blaze had also endured the flames to land the direct hit!

There were burnt marks all over his skin, but he still stood tall, excitement apparent from every inch of his body. Contrasting with Berk, he currently had armor of solid ice covering all of his vital organs.

”Turns out you can take a hit,” Blaze commented.

He was seriously surprised to see Berk standing up as if he just hadn't taken a direct hit to his head.

”You know you're the first person to get me this excited. Enduring those flames, I don't think... even I could have done that,” Berk muttered. These were his true feelings, ”Even the Armor of Heavens doesn't seem so mighty now.”

But just then, both Blaze and Berk readied themselves and shot at each other again. The fight was far from over.

On the sidelines, a black-haired woman boringly watched this show with a look that seemed to indicate that she wasn't enjoying any of this.

”They should be soul mates,” she muttered annoyedly.

The man with sickly appearances behind her could only wryly smile at her attitude.

”Uhm,” Zier stuttered.

”What is it?” Raven turned around.

”Didn't you notice?” he questioned with a worried face.

”Notice what?”

”The death! Only two people are left now, but no one except for these two freaks was fighting!”

Raven's eyes widened at the thought. Because of this whirlpool of ice and fire elements, she wasn't even able to feel any other spells being used around the area.

”Too late now!” A shout came from behind her.

To be more precise, it was from behind Zier!

Raven instantly registered the situation, but the distance seemed too far to protect Zier.

”Not so fast!” Zier himself had prepared for such a situation. With his quick reflexes, he tried to duck.

Sadly, he was only a Rank-5 Fighter and his opponent was a Rank-8 Mage and a Rank-3 Fighter!
