The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 354 - Surprise!

After the ice covered a large part of the stage, Almina immediately struck again with her sword with the ice element. But at this point, it was in Rei-Rei's direction that she struck it. When Rei-Rei saw the flying Ice Javelins in her direction, her eyes narrowed.

The technique Rei-Rei used on her feet was a kind of ability that increased her speed and reaction speed. But it was useless when her footsteps were slippery, especially since she wasn't used to fighting on this platform. If she was not careful it might lead to her defeat. Especially since she moves fast. It was hard to balance her body in this regard. And she was prone to slipping if she made a mistake to gauge her motion.

However, before the sharp javelins hit her, she wasted no time and immediately retreated. She noticed she could not advance because of the icy stage. The sharp ends of the Ice Javelins sink into the surface of the stage where they hit. Fortunately, she was able to dodge them.

Almina also wasted no time and fired Ice Javelins again to corner the opponent. One of the javelins almost hit Rei-Rei's head. Luckily, she was able to twist her head a little. But still, red liquid flowed from the shallow wound on her cheek, though it turned to light particles a second later. It looks like one of then managed to graze her cheek a little. She failed to dodge them all.

From the floating monitor above them could be seen a slight reduction in her health bar. "You!" Rei-Rei scolded Almina.

But Almina ignored her and she fired another batch of Ice Javelins. "Tsk!" Rei-Rei clicked her tongue while avoiding the flying Ice Javelins. She disliked the expression on Almina's face as if she was underestimating her. Did this woman think she could beat her? Never! Rei-Rei bellowed inwardly.

Rei-Rei retreated again to dodge the Ice Javelins. However, Almina did not leave her alone. She fired Ice Javelins again. On top of that, everyone noticed that every time the Ice Javelins hit the surface of the stage it also turned to ice the area around the javelins. So the space that Rei-Rei could move was getting smaller. Soon her situation became even worse because she had nowhere to escape. She found herself at the very edge of the stage from her successive retreats.

"Friends! Miss Rei-Rei has nowhere to run! Miss Almina is truly very strong! Is this the end of their match?!" Miss Mora Lizz shouted as she asked the audience, who couldn't hide the mixed expressions on their faces.

Suddenly, the comments of the spectators rang out. Most of them are in favor of Almina. That's only natural because she was one of the most popular female students in the academy of Human City Zone 7. And most of the viewers are from the academy.

Regardless, her being able to defeat a higher-level opponent wasn't just a baseless heresy. Principal Kim thought as he was watching the match. Almina was truly cut above her peers. She was more suited to the Zone 1 academy. It was Principal Kim's honest thought.

Although Rei-Rei was also famous, she was not as popular as Almina. Not only that, Almina has more friends too compared to her. So, it's no wonder that most viewers were shouting Almina's names.

Miss Almina!

Cool Princess!

Black Princess!

The expression on Rei-Rei's face became even more bitter when she heard the noise from the spectators.

Out of a sudden,

Hehe!

Rei-Rei suddenly laughed.

"If you think you can beat me with your repeated attacks, that's where you're wrong!" As she rebuked it, the gleam returned to Rei-Rei's eyes. This time, the expression on her face suddenly became serious.

Everyone heard it and the famous commentator shouted. "Woooh! Friends! A spicy declaration was made by Miss Rei-Rei to Miss Almina. It looks like the Encan girl has no intention of giving up! " Mora Liz shouted. Suddenly the spectators screamed when they heard this.

"Fight!"

"Miss Almina! Defeat her! Beat her!"

"Good luck, Miss Rei-Rei!"

The shouts from the audience reverberated. Rei-Rei's declaration did not provoke Almina. She remained calm as she raised her ice elemental sword. She would end her opponent based on her plan. After raising her sword once again, multiple Ice Javelins appeared around it.

Almina has not even moved from her position since she used Ice Javelin ability. "You're done!" Almina announced as she swung her sword in the direction of the opponent. Ice Javelins flew hastily towards Rei-Rei. If you look closely, it is true that Rei-Rei has no way to escape. Soon a strong impact was heard by everyone.

Suddenly, everyone fell silent and they just focused their sight on where the explosion happened. White dust emerged from the crushed ice. At that moment, not everyone immediately noticed what had happened to Rei-Rei who had received the attack. However, most were surprised because the explosion seemed to have happened just above Rei-Rei and not right at her position. As most have noticed, the explosion occurred in the air before they hit their target. Beads of Ice Javelins spewed around. The surroundings became white for a few seconds before it cleared again.

The first thing everyone noticed when the surroundings became clear again, was that Rei-Rei was standing right where she was. There was no visible scar on her body or even any indication of injuries.

"I know it! She was not hit! " Dianne suddenly cried out in a tone of regret.

But, aside from being safe from Almina's attack, Jami also noticed something else. "Look! Her weapon is no longer the daggers!" Jami pointed.

"S-Staff?" Surprised, Dianne and Maku spoke at the same time.

As they noticed, the weapon Rei-Rei currently held was no longer the daggers. She replaced it with staff. Same as the weapon Sonya used. Just the design is different.

Even Almina widened her eyes slightly. She didn't expect what Rei-Rei did. She suddenly changed weapons before being hit by the Ice Javelins. After changing her weapon, she greeted Almina's Ice Javelins with the power of fire molded into a ball shape. There was no doubt that those were fireballs.

Noticing her opponent's surprised expression, Rei-Rei grinned before saying, "I told you, I have many surprises prepared for you."
