Chapter 228 No Way In

The fight between Presley and Rui was still going on and was becoming more interesting.

The two clashed in the middle of the arena with their weapons and were trying to push each other back but their strength seemed to be matched as neither of them could push the other back.

Presley, aware that neither of them would be able to win the battle of strength, drew back with a flip.

He stabbed both of his swords into the ground in the process and blasted Rui with ice.

Rui saw the ice coming on time and quickly rolled out of the way on time.

"This fight is getting longer and frustrating," Presley said with a sigh as he formed two short blades out of ice and threw them towards Rui.

Two blades weren't a problem for Rui who quickly used his spear to knock them away.

The blades didn't stop there as Presley was keen on ending the fight as fast as he could.

He formed more blades in his hand and began to send them towards Rui five at a time.

His opponent was doing quite a good job knocking away and avoiding some of the blades but he was going to get overwhelmed soon as Presley cranked up the speed and increased the number of blades he was throwing.

"I don't think using his ability like that is wise," Tammy said.

"Why?" Pearl asked.

"Because he hasn't seen what ability his opponent has," Tammy said.

"You're right but Presley has a good amount of ice points."

Tammy was right about what she had said but Presley didn't have anything to worry about as it didn't look like Rui was going to use any ability.

The blades were getting too much for him and just like Presley wanted, he was getting overwhelmed.

Two blades sunk into his right arm all at once forcing him to let go of his spear.

Presley didn't stop despite this and sent two more blades on heading towards his left arm

"Arghhhh!" Rui groaned as both blades sunk into his shoulder.

Presley finished him off with an ice ball which made a great impact on his head to knock him down.

"He could have done that from the start," Ella said.

"Not exactly, he could have done it after he destroyed his chain swords but I guess he wanted to practice his swordsmanship a little," Luis said.

Presley spat on the floor as he walked to Rui to check if he was okay.

He got there to see that his opponent was still conscious and was staring at him now.

"How do you remove these blades?" Rui asked, trying to move his arms.

"You want me to remove the blades so you can start attacking me again," Presley said.

"No bro, I don't think I will be able to fight with these arms even if I wanted to," Rui said.

"So, you're saying I win."

"Yeah, now remove these blades so I can tap out," Rui said.

Presley wasn't completely convinced though and was still cautious as he placed his hand over the blades stuck in Rui's right arm and with his ice ability slowly pulled the blades out.

As soon as the blades were out, Rui slowly raised his hand to show that he was tapping out of the fight.

"I think that was our first fight without our knock-out." Lieutenant Kate said.

Now that Rui had declared that he was tapping out of the fight, Presley was no longer cautious as he pulled the other blades out and offered him a hand up.

"Those blades are terribly painful," Rui said after Presley had pulled him up.

"Sorry, you had to go through that," Presley said.

The two were brought up on the same earth pillar made large enough to fit them.

"I'm going to go to the clinic now." Looking at his arms which were starting to bleed slowly, they weren't bleeding much because Presley had covered the wounds with his ice a little bit.

"Ok," Presley said.

He watched Rui as made his way to the gate for a while before he decided to head back to where he had been standing before he was called up for his fight.

"Nice job Presley," Pearl said, giving him a high five.

"Thanks." He said.

"Yeah, but you had to make it that long."

"I don't think I would have been able to take him out this easily if he had those chain swords of his throughout the fight," Presley said.

"The next fight will be between George Freelyn and Ryan Pop." Lieutenant Kate said as the two images were displayed on the screen.

General Freelyn adjusted on his seat and crossed his legs as he got ready to watch one of the fights he had been longing to watch since he arrived here.

Nicole had no idea what shadow enchantment was but she knew it had to be something really powerful to be able to reflect Michael's wind like that.

She still had a confused expression on her face as she asked Michael again.

"What is shadow enchantment?"

"Wait, let me get up first," Michael said as he pulled himself up from her body and rested his back against the wall.

Dylan didn't seem thrilled, amazed, or confused by what had just happened and just stood in the room like some statue.

"A shadow enchantment is like a spell put on something to prevent others from taking it, it is mostly used on padlocks then the padlock is used to lock the item that is meant to be protected," Michael said.

"A spell, like one cast by a witch or wizard?" Nicole asked.

"I don't know but what I do know is nothing can break through the force of the shadow enchantment except…"

"Except what?" Nicole asked.

"Pure blade," Michael said.

"Pure blade?"

"Yeah, only a pure blade can slice through the force," Michael said.

"You are aware that buying a piece of that thing is really expensive right?"

"Yes, and who says I'm thinking of buying a piece of a pure blade?"

"How did you even get to know about this shadow enchantment? I don't think it's common knowledge to the world." Nicole said.

"I did some research on it recently," Michael said.

"What led you to do the research?" Nicole asked.

"I didn't know that a padlock that has been with me since I was a child was protected with shadow enchantment and when I used the padlock to lock my shelf, I was unable to open it."

"Didn't the padlock have a key?" Nicole asked.

"It did, but I lost it so I was planning on blasting the padlock open whenever I needed to open the shelf and when I tried.."

"Something similar to this happened," Nicole said.

"Yeah, but I was lucky I didn't use a wind blade back there," Michael said.

"Yeah, you have to be careful the way you blast wind at things," Nicole said. "Are you sure you will be able to continue?"

"Yeah, I'm fine that fall only broke my left shoulder a bit," Michael said.

"Your left shoulder?" Nicole said, trying to grab his left shoulder but he stopped her.

"It's okay, I don't think it's something to worry about?" Michael said, holding her back with his right hand.

"Are you sure?" Nicole asked.

"Yeah."

"So are there any back doors in this warehouse?" She asked after staring at him for a while.

"I'm not sure, we'll have to check," Michael said slowly getting up from the floor to see Dylan staring off to the side.

It was really strange how he hadn't said anything throughout his conversation with Nicole.

"Dylan." He called with a low tone but there was no response from the first-year student.

"Dylan." He called again but there was still no response from him.

"What is wrong with this boy?" Nicole said.

"Dylan.* Michael called again with a fling of his finger.

A sharp breeze escaped from his hand and blew across Dylan's face to knock him back to reality.

"Yes." He said looking around.

Both Michael and Nicole stared at him for a while before Michael decided to say something.

"Don't beat yourself up too hard Dylan, you've already made the mistake, the only thing you can do now is to try and make up for it," Michael said heading towards the exit door.

The three had arrived at the back of the warehouse which unfortunately for them didn't have any door as Nicole followed behind him shortly after.

"Great, how do we get in now?" Nicole said.

Back at the arena, George could be seen standing a little distance away from his opponent who had a large spear made out of earth driven into his shoulder sticking him to the ground and there was quite a lot of blood around him.

George didn't care whether his opponent was down or not as he formed another earth spear and threw it at him.

The spear didn't get to him though as a large earth wall rose in front of his opponent stopping the spear from getting to him.

"That's enough George!" Lieutenant Kate said with an infuriated voice.
