Chapter 249 Vincent Vs Elena ( 2 )



Chapter 249 Vincent Vs Elena ( 2 )

The Astral Night Dagger moved like there was a string attached to it as it could change direction!

Clank!

Elena had no other choice but to hastily activate a Mana Shield… But unexpectedly, the dagger was able to pierce through it hitting her Magician Robe and then her chain armor inside!

She squinted her eyes seeing how dangerous that attack was.

'Tsk… I have to forget his battle style when he fought against Alexander… It would only confuse me. I should treat him like some sort of weapons master.' Elena thought as she was about to take out the dagger that was stuck on her chain armor…

"Hmm?"

She was surprised to find out that the dagger that she was planning to pocket was already in Vincent's hands!

'When did he—'

She didn't have the time to think as Vincent continued attacking her… Obviously, she didn't watch Vincent's battle against Wesley so she wasn't aware of his dagger's capabilities.

"Hmph! Very well, let's see who can last longer!"

Elena said as she ran around the stage while shooting Mana Bullets at Vincent. However, she was surprised to find out that Vincent's movement technique was able to make him so agile!

None of her Mana Bullets hit him this time!

Instead, she was always being chased by the dagger that can mysteriously change direction and return to Vincent!

She didn't like this feeling of being hunted at all! She was supposed to be the one continuously playing and chasing her prey!

***

The battles in two other stages were ignored by the audience as they watched Elena and Vincent exchange moves.

They watched anxiously as Elena dodges Vincent's flying dagger with a hair's breadth.

"Incredible… Those two were only using Tier 1 Movement Techniques, right?"

"Indeed. Vincent uses something similar to Shrouded Steps while Elena uses Phantom Agility."

"I've never really paid attention to my Tier 1 Mana Arts… I guess I should start practicing them again..."

"Haha… It's not like practicing this movement technique would allow you to reach their level. It's all about talent."

"He's right… Can't you see that they are both using their movement technique at Perfected State? Reaching this state is not something you could do just by spending years practicing them… It's all about your talent in comprehension."

Aside from enjoying the battle between the two talented students of the academy, the crowd also got some inspiration while watching their battle style.

Normally, Mana Practitioners at the Master Magician or Adept Mage's level would just master their Elemental Mana Arts or Tier 4 Arts to become stronger. Some would also find high-ranking Magic Tools that they can use in battle.

Furthermore, since none of them can do dual casting, the battle would normally be an exchange of these Mana Arts. They would throw these abilities at each other and in most cases, it will be a battle of the highest mana capacity.

If you can no longer release your Mana Arts, you'd be the first to lose.

However, the battle they are watching this time is very different.

Mana Bullets doesn't use much Mana compared to converting them into elements. On the other hand, Vincent barely uses Mana as well since he's only using his movement technique and the strange dagger artifact that he was wielding.

Right now, none of them could tell how this battle would end unless they uses a new or different battle style.

***

Clang!

Vincent's Astral Night Dagger was shot by the Mana Bullet and was thrown away. Now that he lost his weapon, Elena wanted to use this opportunity to immobilize Vincent…

Three Mana Bullets manifested as they shot toward Vincent one by one. There is something different on these Mana Bullets though… They were spinning incredibly fast and their sizes were about three times bigger than the normal ones.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

'Again? How is his defense so strong?' Elena started frowning after seeing how ineffective her Mana Bullets are right now.

During this time, she tried modifying this Tier 2 Mana Art to see how Vincent would fare against them.

She tried making them sharper. She made them spin a lot faster. She tried changing its size… She tried hitting only one spot. She even tried destroying the dagger but despite all of these, none of them are working…

'Is he immune against Mana Bullets?' Elena couldn't help but think of this.

The Mana Bullets she was proud of just can't defeat Vincent at all.

Elena shook her head as she put some distance away from Vincent.

'No… It's normal that he prepared a lot of defensive Magic Tools since he's blind… Furthermore, he's still dodging my Mana Bullets. It means that continuously getting hit could still affect him.' Elena thought as she analyzed Vincent's tactic.

She then looked at his hands and saw the dagger there again… This is probably the most annoying Magic Artifact that she had seen.

Aside from it being extremely sharp that could pierce through her defenses, it can move strangely and return to its owner!

She even tried shooting the dagger out of the stage but it seems that Vincent could still retrieve it without any concern about the distance.

What was only consoling her about this stand-off is that she knows that Vincent couldn't defeat her in this state as well.

"Is this all?"

Elena suddenly heard Vincent's question... or perhaps, mockery.

"What do you mean?"

"Your Mana Bullets... Is that all the tricks you have? Or can you still make them stronger than that?" Vincent asked again.

After realizing what he was implying in his question, Elena tightened her fist as she felt humiliated for some reason.

His question seems to be out of curiosity but it's definitely a challenge to her! He's taunting her!

"Hahaha! Do you really think that's all? If you want more! Then I'll show you!" Elena's eyes suddenly glow red as she activated her Mystic Eye…

Previously, she used her Mystic Eyes just to determine Vincent's Magic Tools and this allowed her to 'see' the thin scale armor he was wearing inside his robe.

This time, however, her Mystic Eyes were used differently. Elena formed another set of Mana Bullets that had instantly reached Vincent's body!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This time, the bullets weren't dissipated by the robe he was wearing as Vincent was pushed back!

Elena sneered after seeing the result of her attack. Her Mystic Eye's true ability could actually allow her to erase a thin layer of Vincent's defensive mana!

Her only concern now was the thin Scale Armor he was wearing underneath his robe!
