(Wn) Chapter 203 (2/2)

But it was too slow Fran dodged it with ease by si axe, an action that served to evidence that she’d totally seeh

Likewise, she dealt with the shockith ease as well; all she needed to do to neutralize it was deploy a Perfect Barrier with her full power The sheer ay she put into the act caused the barrier to be unable to last for more than just an instant, but that was all she needed She didn’t have any issues tiate Goldalfa’s attack

Her relentless assault continued despite his struggles

「Guhh… nrhhhh…」

The short exchange of blows caused Goldalfa to realize that it was no longer possible for him to hit Fran, and so, he folded his arms and shrank the size of his fra sure he protected his head The stance almost seemed to rese one’s face into so in pain, but, it wasn’t actually one that illustrated a will to surrender In fact, it was so he’d done in order to win — he’d co and instead focused all his resources on his defenses

『damn it, that’s one of the Beast Lord’s direct subordinates for you! He knows exactly what our weakness is!』

Brilliant Lightning Rush was an incredible skill, but as one could expect, it naturally cae burden on Fran’s body, and constantly ate away at both her health andlike Latent Potential Release, but again, it wasn’t what I could call risk free

Ruinal Tribes in fact had their innate skills function in a sireat for a mere Beastkin to sustain and would lead to death if left unchecked, hence why the ability was instantiated in the forranted permanently

The Beast Lord had naturally awakened to one of the Ten Original Powers, and thus, there was no way Goldalfa, as one of his guards, would be able to go without knowing about its weaknesses He knew that using the skill was effectively the sa oneself, hence why he’d chosen to attempt to stall Fran out

「Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!」

「Ngggh……Ugghh!」

Goldalfa didn’t have thatup

Brilliant Lightning Rush was definitely a risky skill to use, and not so

Or at least that’s how things it would’ve been under normal circumstances

Fran’s case, our case, wasn’t like any other Fran’s mana pool wasn’t just limited by her own mana She could draw fro her and topping her health off whenever

As a result, ere able to sustain the skill for far longer than Goldalfa expected

「How are you… still goingarrgh!?」

That said, it wasn’t like we had any real extra breathing space The rate at which Fran’s HP was draining was steadily increasing We’d never kept the skill going for any extended period of time, so we only now learned that its resource consuradually increase with the duration for which we sustained it

Goldalfa’s HP dropped to less than 10 of its total value

All we needed to finish him was just one last push, one that was rather difficult for us to pull off Fran’s HP had started dropping so quickly that I needed to heal her every couple seconds

It was so that she herself had noticed as well

（Master, will end now!）

It seemed that we could’ve actually just deactivated the skill and fought him normally from here on out In fact, that was probably the better option to take if we just wanted to go for the win

But Fran didn’t

She wanted to win as through the use of her power as a Black Heavenly Tigerkin in order to put her tribe’s pride and sheer willpower on display

That was si set in stone

（Will hit with more powerful attack）

『You sure? There really isn’t enough room for that here』

（No problem!）

『You really sure?』

（Nn!）

『Well, if you say so… I’ll focus on defense』

（Thanks）

『Urushi+, go hit him once real quick then run the hell away』

（Woof!）

Urushi+ did exactly as we instructed and harassed Goldalfa a bit by suddenly ju back in before teleporting into the barrier that protected the tournament’s spectators

Fran immediately shouted the name of an incredibly powerful attack the moment she verified that he’d retreated to safety

「Black Lightning Advent!」

A jet black thunderbolt as wide as a drum of liquid erupted from Fran’s extended pal into a massive electrical explosion

Our eardrums nearly bursted as the sound waves created by the attack assaulted them

「Nn…!」

I protected Fran by activating Perfect barrier, but the blast was far too powerful for that alone to hold it back The sheer resulting force sent Fran flying into the barrier that protected the audience To it, her le leaf Dust assaulted our bodies as hundreds upon hundreds of pebbles flew at us faster than would bullets A wave of heat then rammed its way into us, one so hot it would’ve turned Fran to ash had she been unprotected

『shi+t! We’re eating this h I put up a Goddamn barrier!?』

Countless bolts of lightning raged through the arena and writhed within it as would a swared to survive due to her Lightning Dae Nullification skill I’d protected et aith just a e

（Went bit overboard）

Whaddya mean a bit…is what I would’ve liked to say had I been sure that our strike had ed to finish Goldalfa off

The audience began to stir as the attack’s after effects finally started to fade

There was ajust otten pretty hters had experienced, but what Fran had just done was on a whole ‘nother scale She’d completely obliterated over 70 of the arena

Goldalfa was at the crater’s center, his body reduced to nothing but aforward His body didn’t seehtest

We couldn’t see him all that well because the sheer amount of heat caused by Fran’s attack had caused his surroundings to distort The dirt around him had been raised to such a telass The Rhinokin’s prided Phoenix Arone It seeed so badly that it’d become unable to repair itself All visible parts of his body had long been turned to charcoal I was no longer able to see the thing that had formerly been Goldalfa as a entity that bore life

「Got him?」

『Oh God damn it Fran! You’re not supposed to say that, you’re totally jinxing it right now!』

「Nn?」

Fortunately, my idiotic worries were needless The pillars placed around the arena began to glow, and seemed to cause Goldalfa’s remains to do the same

The led corpse was returned to its forain in perfect shape It was like he’d never been wounded to begin with

Wait, so… does that mean it’s over…?

「And it looks like the Cradle of Ti Goldalfa has lost the round by entleic Sword Girl!」
