Chapter 143: I'll Get You Next Time

After Kraftvoll's enemy was put into a corner, she had no choice but to do some drastic measure to escape Kraftvoll's grasp.

After invoking something. the Aqua Sphere seishin spell that was protecting the enemy suddenly froze into a sphere of Ice. When it froze, its defensive properties became more brittle even though its defensive capabilities rose drastically.

The move that the enemy had done to her Aqua Sphere seishin spell was seen by Kraftvoll as a chance to defeat her once and for all.

He immediately turned his gaze toward his shadow familiar. His smile showed that a chance suddenly showed up in from of him. Without any hesitation, he commanded to his shadow familiar, "My shadow familiar, use your full strength to destroy that sphere of ice!"

After hearing this command, Kraftvoll's shadow familiar nodded in response which only means that it understood what his master wanted it to do. Without any hesitation, the shadow familiar that Kraftvoll had summoned quickly followed by its master's command.

The shadow familiar's attacked the water sphere even more ferociously than before. Its desire to be of use to its master guaranteed its absolute obedience to Kraftvoll so without any hesitation the shadow familiar attacked without any reservation.

Inside the sphere of ice, the enemy felt the shaking that was caused by the vicious attacks of Kraftvoll's shadow familiar. Kraftvoll's enemy did not worry about this matter because she had a plan in mind.

She immediately started chanting a seishin spell to do that plan. She chanted, "Ye who exemplifies the aspect of groundedness, allow my desire to be fulfilled, let the world be shaken by your might, Earth Tremor!"

An immense amount of brown seishin essence started to gather around Kraftvoll's enemy. This signified that it was also a seishin spell at the same level as the Explosion seishin spell and the Gravitational Field seishin spell. 

Right before Kraftvoll's finished her chant, that immense amount of brown seishin essences started to go to the ground. The moment she finished that chant, the surface inside the cave suddenly started shaking.

She shouted to Kraftvoll, "I'll defeat you next time we fight! Run if you don't want to be covered by rubbles!"

Kraftvoll's face suddenly turned sour. When the tremors started, some rubbles started to fall from the ceiling of the cave. The rocks at the ceiling did not have that much hold to the place where all of it was sticking to so it easily fell with the quakes caused by the enemy's Earth Tremor seishin spell.

Seeing the situation, Kraftvoll had no choice but to cancel his seishin spell and ran toward the exit of the cave. He was not willing to let his enemy get away from him but he chose to let go because he might lose the whole competition in doing so.

Fortunately, Kraftvoll was near the entrance. He was able to escape without being buried by rubbles of rocks.

Outside the closed cave, Kraftvoll was staring at the buried entrance of the cave with a sour expression.

He couldn't help but be bitter about what just transpired. He almost managed to loot another plate number of another contestant but his enemy managed to outwit him leaving him without any reward for his effort.

"So that's the reason why she froze her Water Sphere seishin spell! I did not gain anything with all that hard work! I lost all that inner seishin that I replenished earlier for nothing!" he cursed after seeing the entrance cave-in.

He can only swear in that situation. After all, everything already happened even though he didn't want it. When he was standing at the entrance of the cave, he realized the main reason why his enemy froze her Water Sphere seishin spell even though it will become brittle despite being hard.

Earlier, he saw the move of his enemy to free his seishin spell as an opportunity but it did not occur to him that the enemy might be planning something. It was one of the things that Kraftvoll regret the most about this battle.

Another thing that Kraftvoll was regretting, the shadow familiar was not able to escape the cave along with its master so it was entombed along with Kraftvoll's enemy. Kraftvoll could only sigh in his heart about his loss.

He had no choice but to go on his way to find another place to hide. He lost too many inner seishin essences but he felt a little mad about the events that transpired inside the cave. He couldn't let it go in his mind while he transverse toward the upper part of Mt. Verrater.

While he was running upward, he started chanting a seishin spell to protect himself. He also wanted to boost his speed and mobility at the same time so he thought of conjuring one of the seishin spells that he just managed to learn.

He chanted, "As the exemplar of the power of the spirit in sustaining life, I adjure thee, cover me in your mighty vigor, Gale Protection!"

As soon as Kraftvoll started chanting while he was running, an immense amount of green seshin essences started to gather around him. He was chanting another seishin spell at the rank of the Explosion seishin spell.

After he chanted that seishin spell, a strong wind suddenly formed and enveloped Kraftvoll's body very quickly.

This seishin spell greatly enhances Kraftvoll's defensive abilities and his speed and mobility. This seishin spell was the upgraded version of the Wind Guard seishin spell. This defensive seishin spell enhances the caster's speed and defensive capabilities a lot better than its downgraded version which was the Wind Guard Seishin Spell.

Kraftvoll used this seishin spell to transverse toward the top of Mt. Verrater. On his ways, he used numerous Wind Scan to feel if there are enemies in his surroundings, he did not find anyone so he continued on his way to the top.

After a few minutes, he saw a tree even bigger than the first one where he hid earlier in this competition. He decided to use this tree as a hiding spot until he was forced to move again.
