FLAAASH!
If it wasn't for my enhanced senses, I might had not even seen him move.
But Elfriedden easily slay all Fenrirs while moving forward.
His Ice Magic froze them all in a split of a second. He quickly appeared right behind them.
The wolves, frozen solid, suddenly were cut down into pieces by a slicing attack that came from within Elfriedden's needle.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAAASH!
CRAACK!
All the frozen wolves shattered into pieces, disappearing on the spot, and leaving just ice cut down into pieces.
The spectators saw the scene with eyes wide open, many gasped before the elf's attack.
"Incredible… Can a Production Talent really do that?!"
"His Spirit is just a needle yet it's so strong!"
"Amazing…"
"Wait, I've heard about this Elf before… Isn't he… the seventh prince of the Elven Continent's Nation?"
"It is… His name's Elfriedden Crystal!"
It seemed we had a big shot here.
"Hmph, impressed?" Elfriedden asked with a cocky smile. "Now surrender if you don't want to be frozen solid… This is a warning."
He pointed the tip of his needle against me from a distance of a few meters.
"Interesting! Now let me show you what I can do."
I quickly utilized my Shadow Manipulation Techniques, manipulating my shadows through several techniques and then fusing it with Shadow Sneak, emerging right behind Elfriedden's back.
FLAAASH!
"Heh, I knew you would do that! Needle Arts: [Hundred Piercing Blow]!"
His needle reached my body, piercing through it a hundred times in a single second.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAAASSSHHH!!!
My body began to be filed with holes, blood gushing out of all the wounds.
But all such wounds were not that much, in fact, my body quickly dissipated into smoke right before his eyes!
"Eh? What…?!"
I had utilized the Skills I had borrowed from Spirit Link from Henrick and Saphira in tandem. [Hallucination Fog] created an invisible fog that made the target hallucinate, combining it with my Loki's Necklace Illusion Magic Enchantment, I conjured the Tier 3 Illusion Spell [Full Body Illusion] and made it as if that was my real body.
Meanwhile, the real me never moved away from my original position, as I combined all of Saphira's borrowed Skills such as [Stealth], [Camouflage], [Invisibility] and [Spectral Body] together to temporarily make myself invisible amidst the [Hallucination Fog]'s effects.
The real me was charging right towards his back, which he happily gave to me the moment he slain my clone made out of fog. The moment he reacted in surprise, it was already his lose!
Abyssal Spear Arts: [Void Pierce]!
FLAAAASHHH!!!
Darkness erupted from my spear as it impacted Elfriedden's back directly.
CLAAAASHHH!!!
"NGH?! AAAKH!"
Elfriedden gave a cry of agony, as he was blown away from where he was standing with a very ugly wound on his back.
"Y-You damn trickster!"
He was furious, quickly standing back up again as his ice began freezing his surroundings. His wound was quickly frozen to stop its bleeding, as he pointed his needle at me, countless of icicle spears emerged in quick succession, flying towards me directly.
"Ice Spirit Magic: [Icicle Spears]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
All the Spears made of ice flew towards me in quick succession, a smile emerged in my lips.
"Let's give a good show to the Holy Spirits, shall we?! [Blood Judgement]!"
I gathered my Blood Ki and Mana together, forming an equally enormous mass of projectiles made from Blood, which clashed against Elfriedden's Icicle Spears, explosions erupted across the skies!
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
Blood and Ice spread across the skies, like fireworks, red and blue combined together, giving a great spectacle to the spectators.
"You're wide open!"
Elfriedden moved with his incredible speed and usage of Ice Magic, freezing the ground to easily travel over the slippery surface and reaching my back in an instant, pointing the needle into my back.
"Needle Arts: [Critical Pierce]!"
His needle overflowed with his Mana, shining bright blue as it reached my back, attempting to pierce through my skin and reach my spine!
CLAAASH!
However, Gluttony intercepted his blow.
Abyssal Spear Arts: [Shadow Reflection]!
FLAASH!
Suddenly, the shadows within Gluttony absorbed the enormous impact and then let it all out into an explosion of darkness against Elfriedden!
BOOOOOMMM!!!
"Unngggh! I've never seen a technique like this!"
He was quickly encompassed on black fog, as I used this to my advantage, and summoned my army of Familiars to deal with them and give everyone watching, including the Holy Spirits, a great show!
"WOOF!"
"ROOAR!"
"FUMOOO!"
"GERORORO!"
"OOOOHHH!"
"GROOOARRR!"
Fenrir, Orcus, Huginn, Falco, Spore, Usagi, and even Draco, the Wyvern Familiars all showed up. And they all unleashed their attacks at the same time! Fenrir bite through his body and pierced his uniform through shadow fangs, Orcus burn through his ice with its fire-covered back and its new ability to shoot fireballs, Huginn showered the elf with piercing shadow feather projectiles, Falco summoned slicing winds, Usagi shoot magic beams from its two horns, and Draco released its fiery Wyvern Breath!
CLAASH! CRAASH! BOOOOMM!!!
"Uunnggh..! Y-You damn…! Ice Spirit Magic [Eternal Ice Fortress]!"
FLAAAASH!
As Elfriedden struggled, he suddenly conjured his strongest spell, summoning an enormous quantity of ice that quickly took the shape of a gigantic fortress, protecting him from my Familiars attacks and freezing them all over, only the three Dracos survived, as they were powerful D Rank Familiars.
FLUOOOSSSSHHH!
An icy wind spread further around, as I saw Elfriedden standing over the enormous mass of ice he summoned. He was gasping for air, bleeding all over and looking at me with resentment.
"Y-You tricky little bastard…!"
"Out of MP already?"
"Tch… This is just starting!"
His entire body began to overflow with his Spiritual Essence and Mana, as he jumped directly towards me, clashing against my spear using his Needle Spirit!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
Shadows and Ice spread everywhere. The spectators gasped over the amusement of this intense fight! I can immediately tell, this man's probably Rank 2 Upper Stage, if not Peak Stage, he had clearly been leveling up and growing stronger before reaching the Stronghold Academy.
