Chapter 64 64 - The Mad Wolf

The ground of the arena was also made of mana. Within seconds, several red squares appeared outlining the space where this confrontation would take place. Ryan slowly advanced, until he passed through the band and entered the combat square.

The distance he had from Lyza was a little large, but within seconds the woman jumped towards him. The aggressive instinct she possessed was gigantic, and her blooglust was also amazing. Launching herself with a fiery attack, within seconds Ryan had to dodge a kick from her.

'She was like 60 meters away, how did she get there so fast' He thought, as he dodged the spinning kick.

Drawing one of his swords behind his back, Ryan defended the attack. Using his 'Flaming Dash' skill he managed to maintain his position inside the arena, so that the impact of the kick didn't throw him out.

"So you know how to use fire now, brat?" Lyza said, as she slammed her black iron gloves into each other.

* Ting *

After the sound of metal, her hands began to catch fire, a gigantic heat surged around her. Extending her right hand upwards, she channeled a bolt of electricity that fell from the heavens to her. Lyza's body was on fire, as small purple electrical sparks swirled around her.

Ryan ran towards the other side of that square, trying to keep some distance. The biggest fear he possessed at the moment was the electric attacks, since the pendant he had found in the portal was giving him a bit of fire resistance.

'She has a close fighting style, but she can also hold a confrontation at a distance. I just need to have a little space to start channeling my attacks' He concluded, as he took a deep breath to increase his concentration.

"STOP RUNNING YOU STUPID BRAT!" Lyza shouted as she moved forward with a single step. A gigantic explosion came up behind her foot, projecting her upwards. She was flying near the top of the mana barrier that protected the arena.

At the same instant, Ryan activated 'Hyper Anthesis' and 'Eternal Garden'. The mana that formed the floor of that arena was transformed into a floor of green grass. Thus, two gigantic wooden hands appeared, growing in seconds.

Lyza, still in the sky, channeled another explosion at her feet, causing her to be launched into the ground like a missile. But Ryan managed to hold off her attack using his wooden hands. A little black smoke started coming out of the burning wood, but Ryan kept channeling his energy into the hands, causing them to keep growing with immense speed. Those giant wooden hands closed around Lyza, trapping her as if she were a simple fly.

'Water Slash' As soon as he activated this skill, a jet of water was channeled in front of his body. This water attack was directed at the wooden hands that were protecting Ryan.

Water Aura' now that his hands were a little wet, with this skill Ryan was transforming the moisture in the air into a thick barrier of water around his wooden hands. This, without having to expose his body to water, as this would make him an easy target for Lyza's electrical attacks.

"YOU IDIOT! I TOLD YOUR CLASS THAT WATER AND ELECTRICITY SHOULDN'T GEET ALONG!" Lyza shouted, in a rage. She was standing on her wooden hands, and within seconds, another bolt of lightning pierced through the mana barrier, causing her body to become even more charged with electricity. Putting both hands together, she caused the electric aura to attack the wooden hands, but this was completely in vain.

The battle was going on so fast that most of the spectators were not understanding what was happening. One of the gigantic screens broadcasting the fight needed to pass that confrontation at a slightly slower speed so that everyone could understand what was occurring.

"I remember this class, so I'm not scared," Ryan said with a smile on his face.

Ryan's body began to catch fire, and a small layer of flames appeared around him. Causing any water that was near him to disappear. Still, he was able to manipulate the 'Water Aura' that remained around his wooden hands.

His mana was dropping drastically, every second, more and more energy was disappearing with the use of so many skills at the same time. But he couldn't hold back, this was the only chance Ryan had to beat Lyza.

"You're not going to beat me!" Lyza shouted as she fired several punches at the wooden hands. With each punch, the impact and flames around her increased. The entire arena was shaking with the force of her attacks.

Sitting in the bleachers, Olivia Talaris, Alice Lightstone, and Sara Hellpike were together watching. They all had apprehensive looks on their faces, worried about what might happen, as much as they believed in Ryan's potential and power, there was still the fear of seeing him lose. However, with each moment, this fear was diminishing. Ryan was doing well in the battle.

"Do you think he will win?" Sara asked both of them, with a worried face.

Olivia's eyes were full of water, she was controlling herself not to cry from nervousness, but there was a certain relief in her chest to see that Ryan was using the water skills she had provided him with.

Alice raised her voice, trying to calm them both down. "The master is strong, I can recognize the power of someone's strength. I have no doubt that he will emerge victorious."

Alice's neutral voice, however low in emotion, gave the two quite a bit of hope. Sara stood up and began to shout for Ryan, cheering him on. Next, Olivia stood up and did the same.

The flames were so intense that they were causing the water to evaporate, thus letting her wooden hands burn with the attacks. Then she joined both hands together and screaming, gave one last attack "This is useless against me!"

Striking both hands hard, Lyza completely destroyed the wooden hands holding her down. The attack was so strong that it threw her to the ground. Throwing an explosion of wooden fragments everywhere in the arena. Lyza was now walking on the grass that Ryan had just generated, with each step the grass floor burned with contact with her aura.

"He's kind of holding up well..." Hao said, as he straightened up in his chair. The principal's secretary then replied.

"The duel is not even two minutes old, we need to wait a little longer." The two took out binoculars to observe the duel with a slightly clearer view.

The screams from the audience were getting louder and louder, the energy of the crowd was increasing more and more. Several people at the same time were cheering Ryan's defeat, in a group they were shouting.

"The Weakest! The Weakest!"

It was like a cheering crowd in screaming for their team. Everyone was anxious to see the defeat of that rookie.

Ryan's System was being bombarded with notifications of the looks they were sending him. Some of pity, some of fear, some extremely positive.

"Hahaha! I guess I have no choice" Ryan said, as he watched Lyza approach.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP STUPID BRAT!" She shouted, taking a leap. She was projecting forward, flying at high speed toward Ryan.

With one hand, he pulled out one of the pistols from his belt. Pointing it at Lyza's face, he closed both eyes. With a smile on his face, he activated the skill he had received from Alice Lightstone.

Judgment of the Sun

That pistol was fully charged with Ryan's intense mana, so in the same instant, the pistol shot out a sphere of light. It was a size a little smaller than the sun he had channeled in his duel at the portal.

That sphere was emitting a light so strong that it completely blinded Lyza. The attack hit her face head on, causing her to fall halfway down, stunned.

Slowly, Ryan opened his eyes, finding his opponent completely enraged.

Lyza was blinking her eyes, as she looked from side to side, stunned. She hadn't asked for her sight completely, so in a short time she would have recovered. Her face was red with anger, so Ryan needed to be quick to win this fight.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! SO THIS WAS YOUR TRICK?" She shouted, with a psychotic smile on her face, Lyza ducked down and punched the mana floor of the arena.

The punch was so strong that it created a shockwave that echoed through the squares that made up the arena floor, lifting those gigantic mana bricks one by one. Her ears were attentive, she only needed to listen for the footsteps of Ryan's jump.

The moment Ryan took a leap to dodge that shockwave. Lyza looked with a much larger smile toward him. Her bloodlust was so high that part of the audience felt a chill with the face she was making, it was like a hungry mad wolf looking towards a sheep.

"I found you!"
