Destroyer of Ice and Fire Chapter 154: There’s no word defeat in my dictionary (Part 1)

“Nikita is going to step on stage!”

“It’s Nikita!”

With her two meters fifty, Nikita was someone who attracted an extreme amount of attention wherever she went . Even though she hadn’t fought a single bout yet, she’d already become a celebrity these past few days in Eichemalar . When she walked forward, there was almost no one in the whole venue who didn’t recognize her .

“Bah, let’s get ready to hold our breaths again . That guy’s definitely going to use again that whatever Skunk Devil Summoning . ”

“Really . Nikita coming out should have been a delightful fight, but now it’s a bit of an ordeal . ”

“A very high-level snow giant bloodline, Agate Lake Academy’s strength this year actually can’t be glossed over . ” The guys from Dragon Breath Academy were also holding their noses, chatting in muffled voices .

“The teams in St . Lauren’t aren’t very strong as a whole, but people like Ferguillo and Charlotte were still very strong last year . Sophia should be a powerful character at the same level . They should pose a certain threat to Golden Stag . ”

“It seems like Rinsyi doesn’t care at all about them though . ”

“That Rinsyi guy’s greatest weakness is his excessive arrogance and his excessive confidence . ”

“…”

“Nikita against Bishu, begin!”

While Dragon Breath people chatted among themselves, the fight had already officially started .

“Skunk Devil Summoning!”

Indeed, like everyone in the stands expected, Bishu repeated the same skill as soon as the fight started . A shadow appeared in the air in front of him . A striped skunk five to six times bigger than ordinary skunks once again emerged from it .

Everyone felt angry, yet no one breathed, no one dared to swear . But just then, countless strange dark golden rays of light shot away in front of Nikita, forming a hexagram of light .

The air in the entire arena started to vibrate .

“What’s going on!”

Everyone suddenly felt an extremely thick cold air fill the arena .

A giant silver-white snow bear more than four meters tall appeared in the air in front of her .

Whether Nikita did it intentionally or not, this huge beast wearing ice all over his body like an armor appeared right above the skunk devil Bishu had summoned .

“Puff!”

This skunk devil hadn’t had any time yet to release any stink that this snow bear already trampled it under its paws, just like it’d stomped it into a flat cake .

Compared to this huge beast of ice, Bishu looked incredibly tiny .

“Ah!”

Along with a shriek filled with horror, Bishu retreated like the wind .

“Roooooaaaaar…”

A wild earthshaking roar came from the Snow Bear . A cold gust of wind suddenly sprayed out of its mouth, whistling through the arena .

“Ah!”

Bishu shouted with even greater horror . A chilling gust of wind froze his body down to the bone .

A huge bear paw appeared in front of him, smacking in his direction .

“Thump!”

The slap directly sent his body flying in the air .

“Hiss…”

Only now did the spectators in the stand dare to breathe . Tremendous gasps came from them .

“Just like the rumor mill said, she’s a beast knight . ”

“This isn’t even an ordinary snow bear, it’s an ice-armored bear rather . ”

The guys in Dragon Breath Academy suddenly looked at each other .

Seeing Bishu already down for the count, Ayrin couldn’t resist shouting, “Beautiful!” Then he excitedly turned around to look at Charlotte and said, “Now it’s Agate Lake Academy’s victory for sure . ”

“Ayrin!”

A voice exploded just then, however . One didn’t even have to listen to know it was Stingham’s voice . “What beautiful are you talking about! You, your plate’s already full but you still want to steal from the pot and snatch my things!”

“What do you mean, plate’s full but he still wants to steal from the pot?” Charlotte suddenly gnashed her teeth . She even had the urge to kill Stingham .

“Snatch what?” Ayrin was very confused .

For some inexplicable reason, Charlotte couldn’t stop herself . She once again grabbed Ayrin’s hand and gave it a bite .

“Look!”

Stingham was stupefied . “You guys are already so close, why are you still trying to snatch my girlfriend!”

“What?” Ayrin still didn’t understand .

“Can you be any slower on the uptake?” Even Charlotte’s ears were red to the root . She desperately wished there was a crack in the ground she could drill into .

…

As the last contestant for Hunter Academy, captain Redrick stood in front of Nikita .

His gaze carried traces of attraction when he looked at Nikita, yet he still had no thought of giving up .

After all, he could still defeat Nikita and Sophia back to back in theory, then obtain the victory for Hunter Academy in this match .

“Looks like I need to expose most of my strength . ”

“Can’t do anything about it though, the opponent is simply too strong . ”

Looking at that Ice Beast towering in front of Nikita, silent and motionless yet still radiating an incomparably merciless aura, such a thought flashed across Redrick’s mind .

“Nikita against Redrick, begin!”

“Hunter Cloning!”

The moment Kleis announced the start of the match, everyone felt their eyes become blurry, as if two persons appeared from inside Redrick’s body .

Three entirely identical Redricks appeared in the field, charging in Nikita’s direction .

The Snow Bear roared once again . Its huge body hurled forward like a moving hill of ice, sweeping everything in its path .

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The three Redricks all crashed against it, but all of them suddenly became wooden fragments .

“They were all fake?”

“What a strange skill!”

“He’s up there!”

Everyone finally saw a figure flying in the air when the three “Redricks” became wooden shards . It had already left the snow bear behind and was falling in Nikita’s direction .

“World of Chaos!”

Countless green beams of light radiated from Redrick’s genuine body, illuminating an area more than a dozen meters wide, entirely enveloping Nikita inside the light .

Redrick continued his fall . He also sank inside the bright green light, his hands once again glinting with arcane particles .

In his mind, this strike should definitely put Nikita out of commission!

“What!”

But just then, he suddenly stopped breathing, and the expression in his eyes also froze .

Nikita stood in her original spot, not moving an inch away .

She simply lifted her head, but her hands gushed with white light, a huge weapon taking form therein .

“Swish!”

A huge sword of ice even taller than Nikita herself swept through the air .

In this instant, Nikita’s posture when she waved her sword displayed unspeakable dexterity .

Redrick didn’t even have time to launch a skill . He could only use the arcane particles gushing from his hands as a shield . Sounds of broken bones suddenly came from both his arms . His entire person flew away as though struck by a huge hammer .

“Hiss…” The gasps one could often hear coming from the stands only began now .

Tumult and confusion came after that .

“How’s that possible! The captain’s World of Chaos can disturb the opponent’s arcane energy and entirely prevent them from launching any skill for a time! Only the captain can use skills inside this area, how did she manage to launch a skill like that?!”

“This is a taboo skill from Hunter Academy, World of Chaos! Redrick actually learned a taboo skill like that… and he still lost to boot?!”

Destroyer of Ice and FireChapter 154: There’s no word defeat in my dictionary (Part 2)

“No ordinary arcane skill can be launched inside the World of Chaos . Nikita’s huge ice sword, that’s a permanent materialization skill! It’s like it’s only disassembled in ordinary times, and now she only needs to pull it out! That’s the reason why she can use it!”

Amidst this tumult and chaos, Ayrin recovered from his state of shock . “Nikita can actually also use a permanent materialization skill? She’s surprisingly strong . She won just like that!”

“Maybe Redrick was too focused on victory . He only thought about the combination of arcane skills that would bring him certain victory, but he neglected something . ” In team Dragon Breath, captain Morgan shook his head with some sympathy . “For the most powerful beast knights throughout history, beasts added to mighty close-range materialization skills was an essential combination from the very start . They’d rely on their beasts’ arcane-resistance and force their way to their opponent, then use the beasts’ force and the might of permanent materialization skills… The beast knights were already dubbed the killers of taboo masters even back during the era of the War of the Dragons . ”

“It isn’t only a high-level snow giant bloodline . ”

Audrey looked at the obviously somewhat shy Nikita in the field, her gaze appreciative . “A simple snow giant wouldn’t display arcane power like that . Plus, the speed she swung the sword at was too fast, too nimble . Someone ordinary could never hope to do that . ”

“It must be the bloodline of snow giants and some elven bloodline . Our kingdom might very well see the birth of a beast knight from the legends,” Morgan sighed in admiration . “Too bad it’s a girl . ”

“What do you mean, you’re looking down on girls?” Audrey suddenly gnashed her teeth, throwing a harsh look his way .

“Don’t get me wrong,” Morgan explained, suddenly sweating big drops . “I said too bad it’s a girl, because historically, these beast knights were all extremely wild and intrepid, all of them people who’d make your blood boil just thinking about them . They could brave and pass through their opponents’ taboo skills, directly smacking them away . Girls can also fight like that of course, but they’d still end up with a bit more gentleness and sense of beauty . They’d still end up lacking some of that staunch aura of one standing head and shoulders above the world . ”

One could say the match between Agate Lake and Hunter Academy ended with a small upset, because before the match, almost everyone was forecasting a victory for Hunter Academy .

After the end of the match between Agate Lake Academy and Hunter Academy took place the last match in group one, lower half, between Oakman Academy and Siman Mountains Academy .

Cheers and exclamations rose nonstop from the venue .

At the same time started the largest scale manhunt operation in Eichemalar’s central area .

Many mighty arcane masters who’d never show themselves in ordinary times rode one after another aboard the Sky Crystal Ferries, making their way to Eichemalar’s center .

…

…

“I never thought Siman Mountains Academy would also be so strong this year . They forced Oakman Academy to a five four . They almost had it . ”

“The tournament is really a lot more spectacular this year compared to the last . ”

“This group is truly the group of death . Next match is between Agate Lake Academy and Golden Stag Academy . There’s a chance for Hawkmoon Academy now . ”

As the exclamations and cheers gradually dissipated, along with the spectators emptying the field, the waves of spectators flowing out of the venue kept chatting among themselves, all of them looking extremely satisfied .

Ayrin and Charlotte also found themselves in the tides of people .

“Ayrin!”

“Haha, Nikita, you guys are really strong! You really won!”

Very quickly, Ayrin, Charlotte, and team Agate Lake gathered together .

“Ayrin, get lost, don’t stick so goddamn close . ”

They suddenly heard Stingham’s voice . He came out from who knew where, squeezing his way near Sophia and the others .

“Hm?”

However, before he could say anything else, he suddenly felt a chilly feeling course through him . At the corner of his eyes, he saw a team with an extremely peculiar aura come their way .

“It’s Rinsyi and his band . ”

Ayrin also spotted them . Everyone in team Golden Stag was making their way out of the contestants tunnel right at this moment . Apart from the first fighter today who had a deathly ashen face, everyone else wore a cold and aloof expression, without a regard for anyone else .

“The atmosphere looks a bit strange . ”

“Is there some conflict between Agate Lake Academy and Golden Stag Academy?”

“Is Golden Stag Academy putting on a show of strength before the start of the next match?”

Very quickly, many people around them noticed team Golden Stag making a beeline for team Agate Lake .

Everyone around kept away, noticing the strange atmosphere . When he came within five to six meters of Ayrin and the others, Rinsyi merely looked at Ayrin and the others with a taunting gaze, coldly saying, “Please step aside, you’re in our way . ”

“Deliberate provocation?”

Stingham rushed to act before anyone else . He stuck his hands on his hips, even tossed his hair, and said as though it was beneath him, “The square is so big, don’t you know to make a detour?”

“You’re obstructing the exit for others just standing here . If you’re not moving, then don’t blame us for smacking you away . ” Rinsyi exposed a faint smile .

“Is there any need for such nonsense outside of the tournament field?”

A faint voice came to their ears just then . Some particularly big figures appeared around them .

“Ivan, Ferguillo?”

Rinsyi didn’t even turn his head . He merely said, his voice icy, “Even both of you together wouldn’t be my match . ”

“Is that so?” Ivan’s eerie cold voice also came to their ears . “If you want to be absent from the next match, you can give it a try . ”

Rinsyi chuckled and didn’t say anything else . An icy desire to kill flashed across the depths of his eyes . He strode forward, about to walk around Agate Lake Academy .

“Hey!”

But just then, Ayrin suddenly started yelling: “Rinsyi, aren’t you the type to think yourself a powerhouse and disregard those you believe to be weaklings? Weren’t you brave enough to use a lineup entirely composed of substitutes? Since you’re also glossing over us and Agate Lake today, then in your next match against Agate Lake, do you still have the guts to use a substitute lineup?”

“Only weaklings would mention a request like that . That said, I can meet your demands,” Rinsyi faintly said .

“Don’t go back on your words then . ” Ayrin wasn’t angry at all . He started smiling instead .

“Reverse psychology? It’s useless anyway,” Rinsyi said, icy in his arrogance . “In my whole life, the world defeat never existed in my dictionary . ”

“Wait a moment!” Stingham suddenly shouted out loud just then . “I have something to give you . ”

“Hm?”

Just when no one could understand what Stingham was trying to do, Stingham had already started running away . He ran back half a minute later and gave Rinsyi a dictionary . “Here, have a dictionary . This dictionary has the word defeat in it . ”

“Haha, beautiful!”

After a blank stare, Ayrin couldn’t hold back a great laugh . He stretched out his hands and give Stingham a high-five, but Stingham immediately jumped to the side and turned his face away . “Get lost, beat it . ”

Rinsyi shook his head with a cold smile . He turned around and left, without a glance for that dictionary fallen to the ground .
