Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts

Chapter 83: Overwhelming

"Kh! Aaahhhh!" August shouted as he stood up. His ears were ringing and his head felt like it was splitting because of that attack.

"August!" The gnome panicked. Even the dwarf couldn't help but glance at August, worrying about him.

"You are distracted!" Sasha harrumphed as she scratched the dwarf's arm.

"!!!" The dwarf wasn't surprised because of the pain, but due to the feeling that came right after the pain. "Poison?!"

He hurriedly hit his own arm with the axe, scraping away the flesh that suddenly turned black before it spread even further.

Sasha immediately positioned herself between the dwarf and August, not letting him help August.

Meanwhile, Selena dashed toward August as if trying to end it all.

The gnome wanted to summon more rocks to stop her, but two blood tornadoes flew toward him, forcing the gnome to create a stone pillar for himself.

He managed to stop the tornadoes, but August had to face Selena alone. "August!"

Selena swept her rod from the bottom again. On the other hand, August's eyes turned bloodshot as he poured all his strength and slashed downwards, creating a crescent-shaped sword strike that extended for 8 meters (26 feet).

The sword strike actually cut the shock wave and headed straight at Selena. The latter jumped back while creating a shield in front of her.

The shield blocked the sword strike for a second, but it eventually got cut.

"Selena!" Risa panicked, thinking she would be hit by this attack.

To everyone's surprise, Selena waved her staff to the back, using that rotation to actually create a tornado-like gale. That gale actually spun her body, moved it slightly to the left, as she ultimately dodged the attack.

"What?!" August never thought it was possible. However, it didn't change the fact that the attack was successful.

He closed the distance between them and unleashed the same attack once again. If Selena used the same trick, he would take that opportunity to close the remaining gap and defeat her.

Sadly for him, there was no need for him to do so. Selena simply jumped back like the previous attempt, baiting August to come in.

Instead of spinning her body, she waved the rod from the side, hitting the sword strike from the side.

Because of the shape of the sword strike, anything in front would simply be cut in two. But if she targeted the flat surface of that sword strike, she could actually sweep away the Ena that built up that sword strike.

As she predicted, the sword strike dispersed and vanished into thin air.

"!!!" Everyone widened their eyes in shock.

Selena didn't care about their reaction. Because of the fake, August had entered her range.

'NO!' His brain was screaming, realizing it was a trap. Sadly, it was too late.

Selena waved her staff from below to launch August away, but the gnome summoned a pillar in front of him, blocking her attack. As a result, the tornado grazed the gnome's back, ripping his clothes and scratching his back.

"Agh!" The gnome screamed in pain.

"You're not going anymore!" A clicking sound echoed as the clash between Sasha and the dwarf continued. The dwarf realized Sasha's job was actually to stop him from helping them. At the same time, he couldn't find a gap to exploit, since she still had the upper hand.

Meanwhile, Selena came straight at August and let out another burst of Ena to destroy the stone pillar, the residual Ena blowing the rubbles to August.

Despite getting hit by the rock, August endured the pain and made one swing. That swing cut through the small rocks and reached Selena.

Or so he thought, until he suddenly felt three powerful blows coming from above, knocking him down to the ground.

"Gah!" August's eyes lost their focus in an instant as he fell unconscious, his body dropping to the ground. His sword strike disappeared, which only meant one thing.

"Young master… Did you see that?" Alisha gasped.

"Yes. At that last sweep, she actually sent forth three torrential Ena to the air. They curved down and fell on top of August's head. Because August was so focused on attacking Selena as well as enduring those rocks… No, should I say that Selena actually used that shattered stone pillar to create her own smoke screen? Nevertheless, those three torrential waves became the deciding blow of this match.

Can you actually control the trajectory of your Ena to that degree?" Nathan gulped down.

"It's possible, but you have to practice more. As for her… I'm afraid that she is a genius."

"…" Nathan couldn't help but think about what he said about Selena being a genius when she taught him the exploding bullet.

He realized her talent might actually surpass his imagination.

Still, Selena had taken down August and the two familiars had to stop fighting as the match had been decided.

"August Reeves has been defeated. Selena Ashton wins this match!" Jason announced.

The people didn't cheer. They were simply too shocked.

Strong! Very strong! They had never thought that Selena would be so overwhelming that August couldn't do anything to her.

Even Rudeus would face quite a challenge against him, but Selena completely overpowered him with that new technique.

Looking at her staring down at August felt like she was a queen. Everyone was just her humble servants. They could only look up to her and not the other way around.

Rudeus gulped down. He had been so focused on August that he didn't realize that Selena had become a bigger threat. In addition, Nathan had gotten an opportunity from the student council.

If both of them joined hands, they would become the most powerful faction in the class.

Rudeus' body trembled, fully realizing that his plan to separate Selena and Nathan was the correct one.

Selena gracefully glanced at the arena as if she were trying to send a message that she would beat anyone that challenged her.

But that was also the time she noticed Nathan was there. She was slightly startled, but despite not showing an emotion on her face, she walked so fast that she was already out of the arena before other students stopped her or something. Her destination was obvious.
