Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

Chapter 105 Chills!

All the participants arrived on the next platform, which was even smaller, but the number of participants had also dwindled to 30.

The chaotic fight once again started among the thirty people, but Zevien's goal remained the same; he wanted to eliminate all other participants who could fly aside from him.

His awareness increased in this chaotic fight, where he had to maintain his focus in all directions. He was hit once but didn't let it happen again and eliminated two more participants who could fly. He eliminated both of them via boundary break.

"Stop!"

Ten people were eliminated, so the remaining 20 participants moved to the next platform after a thirty seconds break.

Zevien eyed two participants who could fly just like a tiger looking at its prey, and those two knew that Zevien would target them.

When Melissa finished counting to three, Zevien waved his hand and released Hellblazer horizontally in a large area towards those two.

His mana was on the low side, just like all other people, but that caused him to have an advantage because even though there were people with high martial art skills, it was still not as high as him. Though he noticed a few that could rival him, and one of them could also fly, so he had to eliminate him.

The man wearing a white karate robe and dark orange wings made of black feathers called Kronish was Zevien's primary target.

As Zevien flew towards them, those two also released their spells: a dark green spinning shuriken and a burning spear. After casting their spells, they dashed towards Zevien for close-range fighting since they also couldn't afford to waste more mana.

Zevien narrowed his eyes as he conjured Omni-Barrier using Somatic Sadness. The Hellblazer was a wide-area attack, which they couldn't dodge. However, Zevien dodged their attacks and didn't let them hit his Omni-Barrier since he wanted to save its energy for other unavoidable attacks.

Kronish and the other man spent their mana to use a defensive spell to block the Hellblazer attack. They couldn't afford to let their badge barrier take damage since if they were hit once, they would be eliminated.

Zevien neared them and kicked Kronish, who guarded with his hands, not letting his badge barrier activate. Taking this chance, the other flying participant spun in the air using his wing to attack Zevien with a powerful spin kick.

Zevien's lips curved in disdain as he read the flow and grabbed his ankle before spinning himself with the enemy kick's momentum. His arm muscles swelled as he exerted his full strength and threw the other guy towards the edge.

Boundary-Break! Eliminated!

"What!?" Kronish's expression turned shocked while his arms became slightly numb after blocking Zevien's kick. 'An expert of Force Flowing martial arts. He used the entire power of that kick without moving from his position and threw him by half spinning. His physical strength is extremely high, so he managed to add his strength in that throw and eliminated that guy. Damn, this fucking vampire is bad news!'

"Oh my. That was very smooth," Melissa also noticed this as Zevien displayed his expert Martial Art style for the first time.

Zevien grinned as he turned to Kronish, but then he saw a white arrowing shooting towards him from behind him. Well, he didn't see it directly but saw it from Kronish's pupils.

As he had activated the shaman seed's powers, all of his senses were way higher than normal humans. His cat-like eyes clearly saw the arrow from Kronish's pupils and dodged it.

Many people who noticed that sucked in a breath of cold air as it was an extremely close encounter. But after that, they cheered loudly!

"Damn! That was superb. Both that throw and that dodge."

"Holy hell…here I was sweating for him, but he nonchalantly dodged it with that grin on his face. Fuck, I am getting chills."

"Oh? That guy is also not bad."

Kronish and Zevien were now onto hand-to-hand combat. Kronish had a somber expression as he didn't give Zevien any chance to use Force Flowing moves using his straight and fast actions. He released short explosive attacks and straight guards as he punched quickly and took back his hand.

'If only I can grab him, then I can defeat him,' Kronish thought as he and Zevien exchanged powerful moves. He had fought several Force Flowing experts, so he also had experience and knew the weakness of Force Flowing martial arts: grabbing a limb and not letting them use their flow by exerting strength opposite their attack.

? However, a few seconds passed, and the frown on his face intensified. 'His physical strength is higher. I have to do it quickly!'

Zevien was smiling in contrast as he knew what Kronish was thinking. He decided to give out a bit and did a straight punch towards his chest when Kronish was fully prepared for any move since both of his hands were open.

Kronish's eyes gleamed as his hands formed claws, and both of his hands grabbed Zevien's arms. 'Now I just need to let him pull me so I ca-'

"You think I would try to throw you just because I got an opportunity," Zevien grinned as he opened the palm of his hand that Kronish grabbed and released a purple orb before saying, "and I am willing to waste some mana to eliminate you."

*BOOM…Crack…*

Barrier-Break! Eliminated!

Kronish's face turned ugly, but then he sighed and asked, "how much left?"

"540," Zevien answered with a grin.

"Y-you…are you mad?!" Kronish's face turned grave.

"Stop!" Melissa announced.

"How come you have such a low amount of mana left?" Kronish asked with a dumbfounded expression before shaking his head, "you wasted too much mana in previous platforms. Oh well, good luck."

Zevien internally rolled his eyes, 'I have to use mana to maintain this vampire form constantly. Although it takes one mana per second, it's still a lot. Also, the Blackout Bubble costs a minimum of 500 mana, unlike other spells which I can use with a minimum of 100 mana to a maximum of 1000 mana.'

Naturally, the spell is stronger with more mana. However, everyone's badge barrier is weakened a lot by now, so they would be eliminated with merely 200-300 mana cost offensive spell….if they hit them.

But Zevien was not worried. He climbed onto the last platform with nine other people and got ready. However, Melissa announced something unexpected!
