Chapter 455: The End of the Spar
Now that Angela will go all out for real this time, my chance of winning is lowered. Though I hope the depleted mana and her broken ribs will help me win it, but it seems that it won’t.
Angela used Ice Armor tightly around the part where her broken rib is. That should reduce her pain. But is she okay with the cold? Maybe it’s not cold at all for her.
If I want to, I can win the match easily back then before she goes all out. Back when she’s only trying to trap me and do whatever it is she’s planning.
But I can’t do that. If I did, Angela won’t be able to see how powerful she is. She will not use her usual way of fighting.
Using her head means that she’s getting smarter. But if doing that makes her growth pace slower, I won’t let her.
As someone who asked her to get stronger, I have responsibility to make her strong enough so she can survive against the cult.
Like several others, Angela doesn’t really need to join me fighting the cult. But because of just one meeting, everything changes.
.....
I know that she would fight the cult willingly in the future if I let her be, but I told her my story and the future as well, and she decided to help me. I won’t let her good intention goes to waste.
“Are you coming or what?” I provoked Angela.
“Prepare yourself, Roy,” Angela replied.
“Says the unprepared one who got her ribs broken.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWithout a care that I’m an expert in fighting close combat, Angela flies toward me while shooting several magic. And they are all of different element as well. Fire, ice, wind, and earth.
I can slash the fire and wind to stop them, but for the ice and earth magic, even if I slashed them, unless they are destroyed completely, the pieces will still continue going my way and hit me. Though with Victoriarmor, they don’t mean much. Still, they are magic. It’s best to not get hit at all.
Reizpear is now on the ground because I threw it, but I attached a Blobby on it so I can get it back anytime I want. For now, it’s best to fight Angela first without grabbing it.
With Victoria as my katana as well, I charged forward and slashed it at Angela, but she stopped it with her barriers. This time, she’s really going all out as she doesn’t care how much mana she’s wasting. But what about the time I was trapped? Did that not amount much at all? She didn’t deplete much mana as I thought it should be? Seems like I’m the one underestimating her.
But I can still attack continuously. If my attack is stopped, then I can just attack again until the barrier is broken. But as I was about to swing the katana for the second time, Angela disappears from in front of me.
She’s not above, but below. She’s burrowing herself into the ground. Did she think that my attack can’t reach there?
Well, I don’t know about it myself since I never attacked the earth. But there’s a first in everything, right?
I slashed my katana on the ground while it was imbued with Aura and my will. The result? The ground is splitting. While it was not as powerful as Celestine’s magic that split the earth, I can still reach Angela. Because I’m focused the attack on her alone.
Still, her movement underground is like a fish in the sea. She’s not as free as in the sky, but she can easily move and dodge my attack.
Seems like she enters the ground so she can rest for a while after getting her ribs broken. But I won’t let her. It was her own mistake that makes her injured. Should I enter the ground?
While I was thinking about entering the ground, the ground is rising. And from it, a golem was created.
It was not as smooth as the golem that Kayla created during her match against Angela, but this is still an earth golem that a powerful expert level mage created. Seems like fighting on land is a mistake. I should have fight in the sky from the start. She also won’t be able to use magic to trap me.
Well, I guess that’s that. I need to take care of this golem first if I want to defeat Angela who is currently catching her breath.
Still, an earth golem is no match against an Aura user. I destroyed it in an instant to see... there are ten more of them.
Just ten? She should be able to use more. I guess she doesn’t want to use too much as she has more magic to test. But this is not enough!
I defeated all ten golems easily, and slashed on the ground again to attack Angela. But Angela seems to have rested enough to calm her mind, and rise from the ground.
Hmm... this is bad.
Angela appears with both her hands in front of her, and attacked me instantly. Using magic of four elements at once. She’s thinking of finishing the match sooner and use her finishing move.
I got the feeling that this is not something that I can slash. Even if I slashed it, I can only stop one element as the other can still reach me. I need to block it.
I transformed the katana into a big shield imbued with my Aura, and blocked the magic. But even if I used all my power, I still got pushed back.
After her attack stopped, I quickly shoot at her with Victogun. She dodged it, but as soon as the Blobbybullet misses its target, I used a portal to appear behind Angela.
The bullet I shot wasn’t that fast, so once it was dodged, I opened a portal to where the bullet is and Angela is within my arm reach as I threw another punch at her. My punch destroyed her Ice Armor, and broke more of her ribs.
“Gotcha.”
No, it wasn’t me who said that. It was Angela.
Right after I punched her, she used her fire magic to cover the area we are in with fire. This is not something I can dodge and cut.
The magic I can cut is something that is thrown at me, not something that can stay in place like this because even if I cut it, the fire will not be extinguished right away and can still grow back. Though if it has a source, I can cut it. But the source of the fire is Angela herself, so I need to defeat her if I want to escape.
Worse of all, the fire that touched my body was frozen and turned into a hot ice. I’m instantly being covered by a blazing ice. Although I have Victoriarmor, it wasn’t enough to stop the heat. And it’s hotter than when I was being trapped.
I guess we reached the climax of the fight. Since Angela is too injured to test more of her magic, she wants to finish it right here.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI feel like my skin is melting, but I don’t care. I need to defeat Angela quickly.
But as I was about to finish her, the match is over. Angela can no longer stand as she fainted from the pain of getting hit.
I just got her twice, but the match is over. I guess I punched her too hard.
Still, although the fire has gone, the ice isn’t! Still able to be maintained even though the mage has fainted? Talk about a cheat.
This just proves that Angela is on another level. Though I still defeated her.
But since the hot ice is only on Victoriarmor, and didn’t reach my body at all, I can get them off of me easily. I just need to get Victoria transformed away from my body.
The ice separated from Victoria and dropped to the ground. They even burned the grass. Ice burning the grass? Talk about magic.
“Sigh... she has way more potential than that, but she started it in a wrong way,” I said as I picked Angela up. The sparring session is over and the winner is obvious.
I don’t feel sorry at all to those who were hyped from the spar. But it’s still a good lesson for them to not be overconfident just by reaching new level of strength.
“I’ll be going to the hospital to operate on her broken ribs. I’ll take Sophie and Kayla with me,” I said to the camera. This way, Sophie and Kayla will be ready to go. ????n????????????????????. ????????????
Though if it’s the two of them, they should have prepared to leave from the start since they know that someone will get injured.
I thought that since it’s just a spar, the injury won’t be this bad. It was supposed to be Angela testing her power with me as her guinea pig, but we didn’t get to see her use everything.
Still, that fire around her and how it froze around me to burn me alive was a good one. No matter who got hit, the ice will be stuck on them for a long time.
And the golem as well. She needs to learn more from Kayla on how to create a smoother golem with smoother movement. Once she did, she can summon golem to do the fighting. Though I doubt she will like that. But it’s good enough to support her.
Now that the spar is over, the surgery will begin. She’s going to be fine. After all, I am the best surgeon in the world. At least for now.
