Chapter 665: Starburst

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xiao Lin was incredibly fast with Ruin activated, and the radius of the black mist was still not that great. After locking onto this opponent with necromantic meditation, Xiao Lin seemed to reach the area in a flash. Said’s reaction time was not slow as well. Knowing that he could not run, he stood there not moving as he sent his two corpses over.

Flame Swordsmanship!

Xiao Lin once again waved his sword. Even though the black mist suppressed elemental energy, his goal had been to use his elemental swordsmanship to deal with those two corpses. Otherwise, if they got close and used Corpse Explosion, even if Xiao Lin was confident he could block it, he could not guarantee that Said would not be able to take the opportunity to run.

Waterfall!

The quickly extinguished flame also turned the falling snow into water vapor, so Waterfall’s power received a boost as well. The two elemental sword techniques caused the two corpses to retreat, and Xiao Lin managed to close in on Said.

Flowing Wind Swordsmanship!

.

Xiao Lin’s sword technique was smooth. The Flowing Wind Swordsmanship could use the power of the wind element to produce a wind field as he waved his sword, enhancing the flow of wind around his body, which was enough to blow away the mist. Even though it was only for a brief moment, it was already enough for Xiao Lin.

The two remaining corpses were finally completely exposed in front of Xiao Lin, and his last technique, the Grand Earth Swordsmanship, was used.

Grand Earth Swordsmanship used earth elemental energy to create a miniature earthquake around the user. The two corpses were restricted by Xiao Lin’s elemental sword aura, and could not move with the shaking earth. When the earth stopped moving, their bodies were already submerged into the solid ground.

Grand Earth Swordsmanship was nothing special in terms of power, but its uses and limitations were obvious. The elemental sword techniques he learned all had their own uses, which was the main reason Xiao Lin had chosen them.

Without the two corpses in the way, Xiao Lin no longer had any obstacles in front of him. When he used his Flowing Wind Swordsmanship earlier, he had already grasped Said’s position, and Said had already started his own onslaught of attacks as well.

As a necromancer, he was not only good at controlling corpses. Necromantic offensive spells were also very powerful, but for Xiao Lin, who had witnessed many necromantic spells in the Rosa Kingdom which were even more powerful than Said’s, there was no reason to panic.

After avoiding a Disintegration Ray, Xiao Lin used the blade in his hand to slice the rotting ball that shot at him. However, he frowned as he noticed that the sword in his hand had started to decay. Said’s necromancy spells were not normal either.

He could not afford to delay anything!

Xiao Lin narrowed his eyes, raising his sword in the air as he started to quickly spin and move around in the air. One reason was to make it harder for Said’s spells to land, and the second reason was to get a good angle for his final strike.

Flame Swordsmanship!

Waterfall Swordsmanship!

Flowing Wind Swordsmanship!

Grand Earth Swordsmanship!

The four sword techniques were quickly used at once. With Xiao Lin’s high perception under his Ruin state, he could feel large amounts of energy around him; the four basic elements were quickly gathering and frantically moving.

Death energy could suppress elemental energy, but it went both ways. Just like how water could extinguish fire, but a large enough amount of fire could cause water to evaporate

Xiao Lin might be able to use necromantic meditation, but if Said himself had a necromantic talent, then Xiao Lin would naturally not use his opponent’s talents against him.

Starburst was the final stage of those sword techniques, and it was the first time Xiao Lin was using it after he learned it. When the crazed elements started to condense, even Xiao Lin jumped in fright at how strong the power was. Xiao Lin’s sword aura had never been so intense, even when he was learning Starburst.

The dense black mist was split open again, but this time it was not due to the wind element of Flowing Wind Swordsmanship, but instead because it was enveloped by a warm silver light. Xiao Lin looked up, and he seemed to be able to make out a crescent moon in the sky.

That was enough to shock Xiao Lin again. Even though the simulated space also had night and day, there was no sun or moon. According to the president, creating a simulated space was something that required a lot of time and resources. Since it was just for a tournament that would last for a few dozen minutes, then the field itself did not have to be so detailed. Ignoring things like a sun or a moon would save a lot of time.

The crescent moon quickly emitted an intense light. The silver light seemed to fill up the entire sky. Xiao Lin focused his attention, and his sword started to move again. It was different from the flashy moves earlier. Starburst moved very slowly. Even Said, who had focused on the Intelligence attribute, could see all of Xiao Lin’s moves clearly.

Xiao Lin slowly raised the training sword, and a silver light descended from the sky into his sword, continuing to fall onto his body. The feeling was very strange. At that moment, he felt an energy that was completely different from elemental, death, or life energies. It might even be a combination of the three, but it was definitely something Xiao Lin had never felt before.

Raise the sword!

Swing the sword!

The sword falls!

There were no complicated movements, or any impressive build-ups of sword energy or any shocking effects. Xiao Lin’s Starburst fell easily.

After that came light. An unlimited amount of light was emitted, and the black mist seemed to have been completely covered by a sea of silver light, and finally disappeared without a trace.

The light was very intense but was extremely quick.

Before Gu Xiaoyue and Cheng Ming outside the black mist could react, the scene in front of them had already reverted to peace and calm. There was no black mist, no light, and no crescent moon. All that remained was that dark sky and the snow that fell on their bodies. Everything went back to normal, but a terrifying crater that was almost a hundred meters wide in front of them showed that what happened was no illusion.

Cheng Ming wanted to rush over to look for Xiao Lin, but before he could move, the snowlands in front of them started to quickly disappear. Their bodies started to slowly disappear as well, and when they opened their eyes again, they were already outside the arena.

The match had ended.

Said seemed to have been completely destroyed by that light earlier, and Dawn Academy’s team had won, allowing them to achieve the final victory.
