Chapter 296: Noirenn’s Crushing Victory! The Tournament Arc Ends Already?!
—–
Utter shock! This one guy… I don’t remember his name anymore, was defeated by a little girl with red hair, Flayr!
“Wow…”
“I can’t believe it!”
“She beat such a respected disciple?”
“But he was Rank 2!”
“Well, she is Rank 2 too”
“What?!”
“That’s… How can a little girl even have awakened her mana core anyways?”
“And she’s Rank 2 already!”
“Wow…”
“Fire Attribute Magic in us Ice Giants… I never thought such a thing was even possible.”
“Yeah, it seems almost surreal. Are we sure she’s not a Fire Giant disguising as one of us?”
“It has been confirmed…”
The Ice Giants of the entire sect were left speechless. Of course, my amazing girl, Flayr, knows no limits nor challenges that can make her lose!
Or well, that’s what I am saying out of my ass, she’s certainly just a girl. She’s just strong, very strong.
I just remember when she used to be a timid little girl, defenseless and scared… and now, she’s blasting an arrogant young master like it’s nobody’s business.
“This… Is he alive?! If she killed him then…!” muttered the sect master.
“No, he’s alive. Just got some ribs and arms broken.” Said one of the ice giants, as he carried this on a guy that ought to Flayr away from the arena, probably towards the nursery.
“Then… the first winner is Flayr… the… member of the Winter Dragon Sect…” said the Sect Master, in between boiling anger.
“Wow! That’s my Flayr!”
“Good work, little Flayr~”
“She’s amazing!”
“Those flames were fire!”
“Well, yeah, technically.”
Flayr rushed back to us as she hugged Noirenn.
“I did it! I really did it!” said Flayr.
“I knew you could, sis.” Said Noirenn.
“Splendid work little Flayr,” I said, petting her head.
“Indeed! That was amazing!” said Benladann.
“Thank you!”
As if he didn’t want to let us celebrate, Lord Ice Moon annoyed everyone, immediately rushing the next fight. He was desperate to see us lose.
“Next battle, Noirenn VS Samann.”
“Ah! It’s my turn, I’ll be going.” Said Noirenn.
“Do your best!” said Flayr.
“I will!”
Noirenn rushed downstairs after she received our cheers. The little girl surprised everyone as she met with a four-meter-tall gorilla-like guy named Samann. He was even quite hairy, and for a moment I thought it wasn’t an ice giant but a Yeti or something.
“Hello, nice to meet you, Samann!” said Noirenn.
“Shrimp… I will eat you…” he said.
“Eh?!”
“Sect Master said I could kill… I will splatter you into the ground, and leave a red mess… Hehehehe…”
“That’s a bit disgusting…” said Noirenn.
“Start!”
The battle started with the giant Samann rushing towards Noirenn. However, she quickly evaded as she fused with her own shadows and jumped into his!
FLASH!
Indeed, she used Shadow Sneak, a technique I taught her from what I learned from the shadow crows. It got easily learned by her and she mastered it in just a week.
“Huh? W-Where?”
FLASH!
Suddenly, large and thick black tentacles wrapped around the man’s legs, tightly wrapping them and dragging him down into the shadows!
SPLASH!
“GRYYAAGGH…!”
Everyone was left speechless.
Noirenn trapped the guy through Shadow Storage inside a small Shadow Space and then continued to attack him while being trapped.
She demolished the guy using her shadow tentacles and crushed him to death, no, almost to death.
CLASH!
When man was freed, his entire body was filled with deep wounds and terrible limbs being broken.
She won so easily?! What…?!
Noirenn smiled back at everyone and even gave them peace signs with her tiny hands.
Everyone was left speechless once more. And this continued and continued and continued for several battles. Each battle ended with them being beaten by one of my sect members. Every single battle.
All of them barely showed their true potential just as requested too. So the enemy was being easily beaten by them. They were also not showing what they were completely able to do to hide their abilities, but their enemies were always kind of weak, so it was hard to not have difficulties.
The last battle was me against one of the arrogant Elders.
“Y-You… Do you think that you got it out petty easily because you won all the time?! I will humiliate you and win!”
The nameless guy suddenly conjures lightning from his hands, trying to zap me into oblivion.
“I see, so that’s the guy you are… Don’t worry, I won’t fail.” I laughed.
The lightning struck my body directly, as I saw Ice Moon smile maliciously at this.
But I was completely fine.
TRUMM!
“Hahahah! Nice one!” I laughed.
It was a Rank 3 Spell named Lightning Bolt, but I had a very high thunder resistance and a naturally high resistance to all elements and also to magic. The result? I survived easily.
“N-No… Impossible!” cried the guy I was fighting against, as I leaped towards him and began to shower him with punches.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The punches were trying to see how fast he was. He has enhanced his body with lightning, but his reflexes and speed were still way below mine.
“UAGGH…!
I kicked his stomach and then punched him in the chin, leaving him tired over the floor. He was restless and hopeless… and lacked any way to fight back. He was done for in just a few seconds.
“Aggh…!”
He released several sparks of electricity at me but that didn’t work, I evaded them or outright tanked them like nobody’s business, approached him, and kicked him unconscious on the floor.
The entire place fell in silence, the Ice Moon sect has been completely humiliated.
I grabbed this guy gently and healed his wounds, giving him back to the assistants.
“He should be fine,” I said.
I looked back at Lord Ice Moon, expecting his response. His face was filled with anger and a bit of sorrow too. He was getting many emotions at the same time, all showing on his face. I even felt a bit bad.
“So? Do we win or something?” I asked.
“…”
Silence!
