Ryan was using both Nyx demonic energy and Lux sacred energy, for the first time his body was managing to utilize almost the maximum capacity of his ability without any problems. Looking at the two windows of his system, he quickly realized how his mana was depleting at a dangerous rate.
'I need to be fast' he thought, and within seconds appeared in front of Rin. Successfully he managed to punch her in the face. The impact launched her to the other side of the arena, and before she could react, Ryan tore her sash off, revealing the beautiful purple eyes she had been keeping secret.
Covering her right eye with one of her hands, she couldn't hold back the explosion that came soon after. After a vibration and an intense impact, the whole arena went silent.
The audience was frozen, standing still as if nothing was happening. Ryan looked from one side to the other and quickly concluded what was happening 'This is not a dominance, this is a break in time' he thought.
Rin walked towards him, this time she was visibly happy. 'You managed to take my sash, I think you deserve a little more respect'. He then looked at her hand, and realized how that black fabric had a different flow of mana, each strand of that fabric was a component of a larger magical machine.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why are you still holding back?" as he burned that sash with the black fire that his body began to emit.
That beautiful white haired girl then began to cry, with a smile on her face she nodded and revealed her true power. Time began to run again, and Ryan's eyes began to catch what was going to happen next, but even seeing the future didn't release him from the end that was going to happen.
Watching a few seconds into the future, Ryan managed to dodge the over four hundred fire butterflies she threw in his direction. And with the help of Lux's holy power he conjured a sword of light towards the girl, but she easily broke that attack.
Joining both hands, she created a pressure of mana so intense on Ryan's body that he simply had no way to react. The intensity of that energy was so great that all the magical equipment in the arena suffered interference, the lights began to flicker and the most basic magic circles were deactivated.
No one in the audience could understand what was happening. This battle was at a level that was incomprehensible, and even with the power of heaven and hell, Ryan was finding it difficult to stand up to this girl.
'My energy is running out' he thought. Even with that energy holding him down, he spoke in a loud voice "Nyx, corrupt my heart with the power of hate" and then his body began to burn with a black flame that was much more intense than before. The sound of his footsteps echoed through the arena, and speaking in a loud voice he said for all to hear "Lux, purify my heart with the power of peace.
Due to the blessing of the guardian of the Void and the guardian of life, Ryan could accept those two paths at the same time. And charged by those two distinct energies, around him was a gigantic amount of demonic energy, mana and sacred energy. His body was charged with an aura that shimmered between black and white, while his eyes glowed blue and red. Extending one of his hands, he created a magic circle of over twenty meters, which quickly launched an attack towards Rin.
In Ryan's vision, the girl dodged that attack and then knocked him out with an attack on his neck. In another future, she broke his neck and the future vision ended. In another future possibility, she received the attack and continued the fight until his energy was zeroed out.
She was not defeated in any of the futures he watched. Confused, Ryan looked as if he already knew the answer. And as his attack flew toward her, time locked up again, freezing for everyone in that arena.
"My life is boring, Ryan," she said, standing behind him. Turning, he looked at her in confusion. Underneath the girl's beautiful purple eyes there were tears falling, and she had a smile on her face. Reaching out, she touched his face.
Rin's palm began to burn, and her flesh was consumed by flames at an amazing speed. But even that fire couldn't overcome the girl's regeneration factor, so every second, the skin of her palm restructured at the same speed as her flesh burned.
Ryan's aura ceased, and with a jump Rin kissed him. "You beat my test" she said. Before he could say anything, she pulled from her pocket a blindfold just like the one she was wearing before the battle began.
"I want to see your next battles, to be honest, I only got in here for you. Good luck."
Time began to run normally again, and the attack hit Rin Silvermoon. She fell to the ground on her knees, with part of her dress on fire and her umbrella completely burned. Before the duel could continue, she held out her palm, signaling that she had given up the fight.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVictory was Ryan Whitemane's, but the taste of that battle was not pleasing to him. Even the grape flavor of Rin's lipstick could not disguise the bitter taste of defeat he had faced. Disappointed with himself, he raised his head only to observe a gigantic golden sign shining with his name.
People were shouting and cheering him on, but the feeling he was feeling was strange. 'Even though I gave it my all, she kept holding back' he thought. Closing his eyes, he walked over to Rin and extended his hand.
The girl accepted and stood up like a princess. The two exchanged glances and smiled, next to the girl was a notification from the system.
