(Wn) Chapter 203 (1/2)

Black Lightning

「Awakening」

An incredible ay swelled up within Fran’s body the an e

Her ies ran rampant and kicked up a windstorm in her wake Goldalfa stood within it, completely dumbfounded

「Awak…ening…?」

「Nn」

「A Black Catkin just… awakened…?」

Our opponent had forced our hand and ed to obtain with Rumina’s help

In other words, Fran had accooal She had finally evolved

Fran’s appearence hadn’t really changed row a coat of fur or have her skin change colours She didn’tlike that either The few changes that did occur were a lot more minute

The first change lay in the colour of her eyes, which ended up dying thee cahtened out and pointed towards the sky like a lightning rod If one were to pay extra close attention, they’d be able to notice that her tail was no longer a pure shade of black It instead now had alternating black and ash-grey stripes throughout

That was it Honestly, the outward changes caused by her awakening could be said to appear rather plain in comparison to the others we’d seen thus far

Most of her changes had instead been directed within, and boy, were those changes massive

Her Agility and Magic stats had both risen by an entire 300 The wounds she’d suffered had healed, and she’d instantly recovered all her y

But that wasn’t all

The e was the one that’d occured to the skill she’d gained upon evolving

「Brilliant Lightning Rush」

Fran’s Brilliant Lightning Rush was an evenRush skill Rumina had showed us upon our first encounter

“It was already a powerful skill under normal circuth Boost, Agility Boost, Super Fast Reflexes, Lightning Elee Nullification, and Lightning Magic skills

To reiterate, using Awakeningall its effects

「Would look at that ladies and gentleot the rarer type of awakening, the one that doesn’t particularly change one’s appearance, but you can really feel a sense ofoff her body!」

If Fran had just evolved, she would’ve been like Ru off her body would’ve been blue and not black

But it wasn’t

Fran hadn’t evolved into a erkin She’d instead becoerkin

「Apparently Black Catkin being unable to evolve is nothing but just a load of bogus!」

The caster’s reaction was pretty much the same as most of the other humans present He was surprised, but that was it As far as he was concerned, there was er Fran had gotten than the fact that she’d actually evolved

It was a reaction that completely failed to capture the emotions of any and all of the Beastkin that happened to be present

「…」

Goldalfa seeotten that he was in the midst of a duel His stance loosened, and he si wide open He was so shocked by what he’d just witnessed that he was unable to put any his thoughts into words

Directing aze over to the VIP area allowed me to see the Beast Lord, as supposed to be cal a hole straight into the stadiu by beside hi Goldalfa’s expression; he was staring at her completely dumbfounded

「A Black Heavenly Tiger?」

Goldalfa’s ain, but he was still clearly shaken, as his voice was dry and raspy

「To think that I would end up facing off against none other than one of the legendary tribe’s members…」

His words were but mutters under his breath

「But… how did I not notice it till just now…?」

（Go?）

『Do it!』

Fran took advantage of the fact that he ide open and initiated an assault

「She va-ugghhh!」

「Shmph!」

「Guhhhh! W-What…!?」

To Goldalfa, it looked as if Fran had flat out vanished, but in truth, all she’d done was dash up to hiht through the God-tier blacks his flesh

Awakening had made Fran ridiculously powerful

It had given her enough speed to circuh power to completely shatter his defenses

「Gaaah! Gruhhhh!」

「Haaaaah!」

Fran dashed around hi blow after blow

Fro Rush skill’s power came not only from its sheer speed, but also its ability to allow incredibly tight turns

“Theoff were difficult even at et in the way and disallow us fro our ideas

But the skillthe core attributes of the lightning element into her body had allowed her to temporarily overcome them

Our actions were much like those of Zef use of our ability to h speeds

That said, the actual resulting attacks couldn’t really be compared to one another, as Fran far exceeded Zefmate in all three of power, speed, and turn rate

Thinking about Zef that seemed to explain why Blue Catkin hated Black Catkin as much as they did It must’ve been because of this, because evolved Black Catkin could do everything evolved Blue Catkin could, but better

「H-How incredible! I can’t even tell what’s going on! Fran’s disappeared, and see Goldalfa with a series of bands of black light! I can only tell he’s getting hit because he keeps groaning in pain!」

It was as the caster co a trail of black light in its wake The sheer nuiant dark dome around the rhinokin

Loud hout the arena as Fran sain The dae we inflicted onto the arenerated at a rate far faster than we could dae it However, that only applied to the armour, and not Goldalfa hih froe on him

It was so would course throughout his body each and every single time he tanked one of Fran’s strikes

「Ngaaaaahh!」

We ed to hurt him so badly in just the span of a few seconds that he ended up co his axe at us before desperately launching shockwave in all directions It see us so he could attempt to make a comeback
