BXBX NOVEL Chapter 220 Light Spirit Element
Risking himself by being in the face of such grave danger wasn\'t in the code of the dark spirit masters. They were sneaky kind of bastards who loved to play schemes and tricks from behind the curtain and keep themselves hidden in the shadows.
"Humph, as if I\'ll let you use it!" William instantly recognised the scroll in Garlend\'s hand and got what his foe intended to do. Finally, he acted, lifted his sword and flashed, using his technique for the last time in this battle.
"Hahahaha! You truly underestimate the Black Mambas! Hahahaha!" Garlend knew William was going to hit him the moment he\'d take out his scroll. In fact, he expected even the judge on the side of the arena would jump in, do everything in his power to try and stop him from leaving.
So, the moment William flashed and vanished from his sight, Garlend also moved. They were standing close to the edge of the arena, and the most logical and safest path for him was to jump off the arena, blend with the masses starting to gather all over this place, buy enough time to activate his scroll and leave this academy forever.
*Clang!*
However… Things didn\'t happen the exact same way Garlend envisioned!
Just as his body flashed, headed towards the close by edge of the arena to jump off, evading the incoming attack of William\'s sword and five knives, five more knives suddenly appeared from his front, clashing fiercely at his body, sending him back to the arena, falling down there and rolling over the ground for few metres.
"And I have to tell you this…" William appeared next to the place where Garlend\'s body was rolling, raised his sword with both hands, "you truly underestimated me!"
"Ahhh!" and before Garlend would stabilise himself, the sword got inserted fiercely into his body, pinning him to the ground, and releasing the last bits of William\'s spirit power that got powered up with the lightning spirit element.
Like lava gushed over a block of ice, Garlend felt his body scorching hot as a burning sensation starting from the stabbing point of William\'s sword, spreading fast all over his body.
As a reflex, he swayed his tail, hitting William fiercely and sending him flying in the air.
William already spent all of his spirit power in that last attack. He knew the true intentions of his enemy and read through what Garlend wanted to do.
Comparing the two enemies\' spirit powers, there was a huge gulf that William was unable to cover. But comparing the rich battle experience, William came on top, with a huge gap between him and his foe.
William just used five of his flying knives, and he could still use more if he wanted to. But he refrained from showing all his knives to the enemy, making the latter mistakenly believe that he only got these five.
William took out five knives the moment he started to dash forward, released and controlled them to head towards the directions Garlend was mostly going to take.
And when one of these knives hit Garlend\'s hidden body, others flooded towards that direction, fiercely slamming against Garlend, sending him back to the stage.
William succeeded, but he got no power to resist the attack he just suffered. The hit wasn\'t that simple and didn\'t end there. The tail rose high in the air, arched in midair, acting like a whip, engulfed in Garlend\'s enraged darkness spirit power, prepared to follow this strike with a deadly one.
The moment William\'s body would touch the ground, he\'d be gone for. William knew that, and he felt too much frustration for having no spirit power to defend the incoming attack, or even evade it.
"Got you!" Just when William was wrecking his mind, thinking about what he could do to avoid the deadly Whipping Grand Black Mamba Tail attack that was coming so damn fast towards him, he felt his body getting carried away by someone, while a familiar voice echoed in his ears.
"Ro?!!!" William totally forgot about this gold grade expert standing all this time beside the arena. She came at the early moments of this battle to watch how William and his team would perform in this fight.
No one, even William himself, expected that this battle would take such a sharp and shocking turn in events, revealing one of the deadliest and most hated dark spirit master clan members.
At the moment when the judge didn\'t give any heed anymore to William\'s previous words, deciding to take the chance that William created by weakening and severely wounding Garlend to take that dude out, Ro acted differently, moved to save William from the incoming deadly tail.
"Thanks…"
"Just stay here," Ro took him all the way out of the arena, landed his body on the ground, "you already did more than enough. Let others handle this dirty despicable spirit master."
As she said it, she vanished again, moving fast towards the arena to help the judge and others who just arrived to take down Garlend.
William knew he already did what he could, weakening that gold grade spirit master using his lightning spirit element, knives, and sword.
"Light spirit element… Interesting," Just as Ro flashed and vanished from his sight, William could recognise what type of spirit element she used in such a move.
He was weak, but he wasn\'t blind. Seeing her using that rare spirit element made William surer about his earlier guess about the true identity of this girl.
\'She must be from another academy or a very big clan or something,\' William knew it was so rare to find such a good spirit master around.
