Chapter 355 - Different Race
Yman watched closely as Almina and Rei-Rei fought seriously. The two show their ability to beat each other.
After Rei-Rei changed her weapon, the Ice Javelins that Almina was throwing are no longer an obstacle to her. All of that was caught by her Fireballs.
This time, from being an assassin her profession changed to mage. It's not easy to be an all-rounder because it is hard to master each profession. But it didn't seem to drag her. She was still able to keep up and put Almina in a precarious situation and reduce her health points. Rei-Rei's talent is undeniable.
Rei-Rei unleashed a powerful flame attack. Although Almina was able to escape, the flame successfully melted the ice on the stage surface. As a result, the obstacle that hindered her movement had disappeared. Now she can move smoothly again.
She grinned and the gleam returned to her eyes. "Get ready for your defeat Almina Amu—!"
Even before she finished what she was going to say, Almina immediately unleashed a powerful attack made of fire and ice. "Tsk! How rude! Let me finish what I am going to say!" Rei-Rei protested as she quickly struck the weapon horizontally to counter Almina's attack. A very hot Flame Wave caught Almina's fire and ice.
Almina didn't know that Rei-Rei was a bit talkative in the fight. "I'm sorry but I have no intention of gossiping while fighting!" She replied. All she wanted was to win the battle.
Rei-Rei frowned. 'What is this woman saying? Who told us to gossip?' She exclaimed in her mind.
"Dear Almina, we're not friends! Kyaaah! Ugh—!"
There was a deafening explosion in the air where their attacks collided. Smoke covered the area and it looked like a volcano had erupted. But, at that moment, Rei-Rei backed away and sprang slightly due to the pressure brought on by the explosion. The health points seen in her health bar were also slightly reduced.
Now Almina's life number is a little more than hers. Almina didn't know whether to laugh or cry at what Rei-Rei was saying. Even before Rei-Rei could regain her balance, Almina wasted no time and immediately rushed to attack again.
From the corner of her eyes, Rei-Rei noticed her. To counter her, Rei-Rei immediately attacked her even though she was still in an awkward situation. "You will not succeed!" Rei-Rei shouted while releasing the fireballs. But, Almina's action was agile and she easily avoided the opponent's attacks with her Successive Rapid Leap. Her figure disappeared in an instance like a mirage.
In a blink of an eye, Almina arrived in front of Rei-Rei. Rei-Rei's eyes widened as Almina slammed down one of her weapons to finish off her. However, everyone heard a loud, sharp sound that sounded like colliding irons.
"What?!" Almina asked in shock when she saw the large object made of steel and currently blocking Rei-Rei's body.
A round shield blocked Almina's attack. "Hehe. I told you that I have many surprises prepared for you so don't be surprised!"
Shing!
Rei-Rei suddenly attacked. But, even before her revenge hit could reach her, Almina already jumped away from her. Only the wind was hit by Rei-Rei's sword. Rei-Rei held a metallic shield and sword in her hands.
After successfully avoiding her enemy's attack, Almina did not hesitate to attack again. Rei-Rei wasn't scared either and greeted her head on. The two met in the middle of the stage and a series of crisp crashes were heard by everyone when their weapons rapidly clashed.
Ting, ting, ting!
Almina's weapons danced in the air as she quickly struck the opponent with the flaming and icy weapons. They look very nice while drawing in the air and leaving shiny marks.
Using a round shield and a one-handed sword, Rei-Rei was not afraid to confront her.
Rei-Rei's movement is polished while Almina's movement is very agile. Her every move was hard to follow. Even those like her on the False Path stage find it difficult to follow her actions. As a result, during their fight, Rei-Rei gradually retreated to defend herself.
"Wooh! This is the real battle! " Vortex exclaimed excitedly. "Miss Almina's speed is truly impressive," exclaimed Ultima. The two men said their comments about the match.
Due to the pressure of their attack the stage slabs swelled and flew away. There was no stopping and the two just kept on exchanging attacks. Yman was just silently watching their fight. Everyone noticed the invisible shield vibrating and reappearing. It seemed to crumble, however, the two stop and use advanced resonance at the same time before it happens.
It looks like they intend to end the fight. Suddenly, their forms changed. Rei-Rei's image looked like a wood spirit when she used her advanced resonance. Her hair has grown longer and is now silky green. Her armor changed as well. It already has a unique wooden-like design. On her head, there is also a strange crown coiled. Two pairs of wings grew on her back that resembled large and thin types of leaves.
Almina, on the other hand, turned her clothes black. A one-piece dress overlaid with shiny black armor from her feet to her head. And on her back, there is a pair of large wings that resemble butterfly wings. The two clashed again. But this time it happened in the air.
"The help that advanced resonance brings is really huge," Yman whispered to himself as he watched the fight between the two. His voice was mixed with envy.
Only a handful of students can use it. Not everyone has the ability to learn it. Yman noticed strange auras surrounding their body when they activated their advanced resonance.
They collided again. All the spectators looked up. At this point, it is difficult to say who is at a disadvantage and who is at a disadvantage. They seemed to be equal. And each one of them equally had an advantage and disadvantage.
Two mechanical devices flew and followed the two. These mechanical devices that look like flying buses are actually the drones that are recording the fight.
"Friends! The two participants from different race are fighting in the air. Just by the expression on their faces, I can tell that no one wants to lose. They are relentless! This fight will definitely last until their last breath.. Who will be the winner in the end?" Commentator Liz asked the spectators.
