The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 370 - Sistela’s Crisis

Sistela tried to free herself from Kiko's clutch. But she couldn't budge Kiko's grasp.

Her opponent seems to have leveled up several times due to the intensity of his new strength. Sistela did not know why this arrogant person suddenly transformed. She thought she could beat him.

She would have been excited to announce her victory to her partner if she won. She was also excited at his reaction. But, sigh. Now it is even difficult to escape from her opponent's grasp.

Sistela is curious about what has happened to her partner during these times. She has contacted her several times, but for the past few minutes, she has not received a response from him.

<Tsk! Let go of me you're ugly.> Sistela thought. He wanted to shout it but she couldn't talk because of Kiko's grip. <Tss!> Sistela clicked her tongue, but only in mind. 

A big grin could be seen on his opponent's thick face. After his body thickened, his head also became bigger, and after his head became bigger, of course, his face also thickened. This is what Sistela believed.

Mark of pulses surfaced on Kiko's body as if there were snakes inside him. This is a sign that he was using more strength to strangle his opponent.

The seemingly unintelligent growl could also be heard from him. Weird because he sounded like a monster.

While Sistela was struggling to free herself from Kiko's grasp, her opponent suddenly brought her face closer and shouted, "You're going to die, you piece of sh*t!"

Even though Yman's body was having a hard time breathing at these times, Sistela could still smell the foul odor of the opponent's mouth.

<Tss! I seem to suffocate first with the stench of his breath and not with his strangulation in the neck.> Sistela whimpered. But she didn't voice it out as it was impossible in her current situation.

In the VIP's room,

Principal Kim was gripping tightly his MTMD. In his mind, 'Just a little more, j-just a little more. Kiko Sun just needed to defeat that student. After that is the grand finale. Hehehe." He seemed excited about something to happen.

On the stage, Sistela wasn't affected by the lack of oxygen. So even though Kiko strangled her, she wasn't affected by it. However, there was a big problem. The body she was piloting still needs it to live. So, at the moment, Sistela was still in trouble. In big, big trouble. She could not let her partner's body die.

The remaining health points in the health bar had only 25 percent displayed in it and continued decreasing bit by bit. Thanks to the armor that her partner wore, it took most of the damage from the enemy's deadly attacks a while ago.

Sistela secretly used her Appraisal Ability on Kiko to see if something can help in her current situation. There was something written in there about human beings being weak against nut-cracking attacks.

Sistela wondered what the Nut-cracking Attack was. Then Information regarding nut-cracking suddenly appeared in her vision. After that, she didn't hesitate and immediately kicked Kiko on his lower part.

Kiko winced like a flat tire. The expression on his face looks grim.

Her attack seemed effective because she noticed her enemy slightly loosened his grip.

It wasn't only Kiko who reacted that way. Even the spectators also reacted out of instinct. As though they were the ones who received Sistela's attack.

<Woah!> Sistela moaned in excitement. She was trying all sorts of attacks a while ago but none of them seemed effective against this enemy.

<Such a normal-looking attack but very effective!> Sistela muttered. But since she was piloting her partner's body, the voice that came out of her mouth was of course the voice of her partner.

That attack took at least 5 percent of Kiko's health points. However, after his transformation, Kiko's health points reached 200 percent, so the decrease of 5 percent wasn't so much. But, it is still better than none.

Even if Sistela was in the body of Yman, there were some abilities she could not use. Examples of it were Yman's Time Warp and Skill Canceller,

Sistela used the opportunity to use her healing ability. She quickly used the Self-Healing Ability. Her health points returned to 50 percent. However, although her health points returned, the exhaustion of Yman's body accumulates. It is also the reason why her attack is now lower compared to before. 

Kiko's face was twitching as he glared at his enemy in anger. "Damn you!" His voice was very different from before. It was louder and raspy.

After finding a way to damage her opponent, she seemed to have found a new confidence. "Bring it on!" She taunted him. 

The two of them attack at the same time. Sistela's aim was Kiko's crotch. It only took them a second to arrive in front of each other. 

Sistela noticed Kiko's defense was wide open. <A chance!> He exclaimed in low volume. She didn't waste the opportunity and sent a strong and fast kick she could give. 

But Kiko's figure suddenly disappeared in front of her. It was weird that such a massive size could move at that speed.

Sistela's eyes darted from left to right, but she could not spot him. 

At that moment, a big figure seemed to appear behind her. She quickly leaped away. As she was retreating, everyone noticed an arm fly in the air along with a fountain of blood.

Still, in her indifferent expression, Sistela quickly distanced herself. And used healing ability to stop the bleeding.

The arm was hers or more like Yman's. Now she lost both her arms. Since her self-healing ability could not restore what was lost, she had no way to restore the cut parts.

Sistela was in a more disadvantageous situation now. The reason she was able to restore her lost hand when she was hit by Kiko's Invisible Bombs was due to Yman's Enhanced Firedoll that could use Restoration Ability.

But the problem is, there was only one of those and Sistela already used it. So there was nothing more that could help her. Due to stomachaches, Yman wasn't able to create more.

Kiko grinned even more. 

Although Sistela already lost both of her hands, the expression on her face was still indifferent.

The spectators wondered if Crimson couldn't feel pain. Well. They can actually. But, Crimson, he was a little odd. His pain tolerance is abnormally high. Sistela has five senses function, so she was capable of feeling pain as well.

The reason she can remain her poker face even with such injury is that in their current state, it wasn't Sistela who was receiving the pain. It was Crimson. So the one who was suffering at the moment was Crimson.

Thanks to their Self-Healing Ability the pain Crimson felt didn't even last long. As long as the wound clot, the pain subsides on the spot. Summed up with his high tolerance of pain, it wasn't even a challenge to him.

Nonetheless, 

It was clear who was winning the match. Sistela could only run away from Kiko. But Kiko was even more agile now than before his transformation. Escaping from him seemed impossible. 

"Now everyone! Mr. Fire God is now going to finish the match!" Mora Liz's voice resounded once again when they noticed Kiko walking towards Sistela.

Kiko's supporters started yelling again.

Finish him! Finish him! Finish him!

While walking calmly like a king, he raised his hand above his head. His sword came out from the rubbles and flew directly in his raised hand. Kiko caught it with ease. The sword that was supposedly massive looked small in his hand. After getting his sword, his figure disappeared.

Sistela readied herself. No matter what happens, she can't lose before her partner comes back.

Kiko's figure disappeared once again. Since staying on her feet brings no difference. Sistela chose to run this time. At least she could gain momentum. 

However, just a few steps after she ran, Sistela felt she was falling. <Uh?> At that moment, she noticed one of her legs had disappeared. Blood sprayed from the cut. Before she fell, she quickly used Self-Healing Ability.

<Dammit! Partner, please come back pretty fast!> With just a leg, she kicked the broken stage and used Rapid leap to distance herself.

Right after Sistela's figure disappeared from her position, a long trench happened in the area along with a rumbling noise.

Yana had teary eyes as she stared at his brother's figure having lost three of his major limbs. On top of that, most of the spectators were shouting to finish him.

She didn't like it. There was a dark shade on her face as she looked down and prayed for her brother's wellness. No matter how others shun him, she would remain her brother's ally.

<Uhm… this ugly is so annoying…> Sistela whimpered. 

Kiko knitted his brows when his finishing attack failed to hit his target. But it only happened for a second before a grin returned to his face when he noticed his opponent's situation.

"Hehe," he chuckled. "What a nice sight to behold," Kiko said with a mocking face.

The image of Yman trying to escape away from him gave a wonderful feeling to Kiko. "It's futile to run, trash," he said as he licked the sharp edge of his sword.

<Damn! He's noisy.> Sistela murmured.

Kiko said, "You lowly trash! Accept your Destiny!"

<.....>

My next attack will be the last," Kiko muttered. Kiko was about to attack again to finish his opponent, but.

He suddenly stopped and… "No way!" Kiko clenched his head as he shouted. "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"

For some reason, he held his head as he shouted like a madman. Everyone gawked at that moment as they asked themselves why Kiko suddenly acted like that.

Kiko was exuding suffocating bloodlust. And it seemed his vision started to get murky. Heinous thoughts started creeping into his mind.. It seemed a devil advocate was whispering beside him to do vile acts.
