The Mysterious Black Magician

Chapter 373 - The End Of The Longest Match

Kiko attacked again. His movement is now faster. He crossed a few meters of their distance in just an instance. His hand was already a centimeter away from Yman's face.

 Kiko grinned at that moment. 'Now! It's your end!' Kiko seemed to be celebrating in his mind for his victory. He knew he just needed an attack. An attack that hits the opponent. If he managed to hit Yman even once, he was sure to win.

But, the grin on Kiko's face disappeared again as if water had been poured and erased it. His hand touched just wind again!

This time, Kiko saw it when Yman's body that had been in front of him suddenly disappeared. Kiko's eyes widened. He couldn't understand what kind of ability Yman was using.

After failing to his target, *Bam!* Kiko received a strong kick again. This time, it was on his side that he was struck. Kiko staggered back and bent on his knee.

He felt the weight of that kick. He winced in pain and seemed to be vomiting. Although hurt, Kiko still forced himself to stand up and attack again. He could not accept that his attacks had failed one after another.

However, just like his previous attacks, instead of hitting the opponent, Kiko receives the attack. His health points are gradually declining.

Kiko stood up again. He could already taste the taste of his own blood in his mouth.

As he stood up, before he could start moving, Yman disappeared again from his place. Kiko was slightly shaken. A moment later, just as he feared. He was hit again. And this time, the attack is from above. Kiko was hit in the head by a strong kick. It looks like something exploded where he was. But it was only Kiko who was hit by Yman's strong kick.

The crushed parts of the stage emerged that looked like dust. Kiko's body sank into his position like a human nail.

Though hurt, Kiko immediately left the hole where he had sunk. At this point he is confused and unable to think correctly. He can't attack properly either.

Inside the VIP room, Adam Praeter narrowed his eyes. 'My suspicion is correct. That young man is not just ordinary,' Adam said to himself. As he continued to watch the match, Adam couldn't help but whisper what was on his mind, "This is bad for Kiko Sun," Adam Praeter muttered. Although he didn't say it out loud, Sunday and Jack heard it.

"W-why sir?" Sunday's curious question. Jack also looked at him.

When he noticed their eyes on him, "He hesitated to attack because he thought there was nothing he could do. He seems to have gradually become discouraged because of his series of failed attacks. Other than that, he can't even follow the opponent. In his mind, even if he attacks, it seems useless because his opponent suddenly disappears," Adam replied.

Sunday and Jack understood what Adam wanted to say. In short, Kiko Sun started to cower. But she had another question. "Sir Adam, do you think it is possible for a level 5 to move that fast? Isn't Crimson just hiding his true level?" Even Sunday started to doubt Yman's level because of his unperceivable speed.

Sunday noticed Adam's slight smile. But he did not expect the veteran old man's reply to her question. "Move?" Adam asked instead. But, Adam followed up by saying, "You are mistaken. He did not move or run." Adam slightly shook his head.

"Ha???"

Question marks seemed to float over Sunday's head from Adam's reply. "H-How come Crimson didn't move, Sir?" Noticing the doubt in the expressions of the two, Adam opened his mouth again.

"What Crimson did was going back and forth to where he was a few seconds or minutes ago."

The shock and can't believe expressions on the faces of the two were obvious.

"I-If so… a Time Warp?" Adam smiled and nodded slightly on Sunday's follow-up. Sunday and Jack, on the other hand, seemed shocked by what they learned.

Kiko's supporters this time around were super quiet. They saw Kiko constantly receiving attacks and there was nothing he could do to retaliate.

This was not what they envisioned to happen. This was contrary to their expectations. This was not how they thought of this battle. This was the opposite of their imaginary battle. Kiko should be the attacker and his opponent should be the one beaten.

But why is Kiko being beaten by the opponent? Viewers didn't know what to feel. They don't know whether to feel sorry, angry or laugh at Kiko's plight of being beaten by an opponent with only one foot and no hands.

"The f*ck am I seeing! A One-foot-man beating a WarGod?" Huge sweat can be seen on Doro's face as he asks it in the air.

In the perspective of the spectators, Kiko was beaten by the opponent with only one foot. But, from Kiko's perspective, his opponent seems to have a hundred feet.

It was a very one-sided battle. Kiko could hardly retaliate. His face was also swollen. Occasionally, he tried to catch Yman. But, the result is still the same. He couldn't even do anything.

What's even more discouraging, every time he tries to retaliate, his defense gets more and more open, so he gets hit in the parts of the body where his defense is weak.

So now Kiko is skeptical.

Although Yman's damage was not that powerful enough, Kiko's health points were decreasing continuously. If this goes on, Kiko will definitely lose sooner or later.

While hiding in his arms like a turtle in his shell. "Uhm, you are pitiable. Why didn't you just give up to end your suffering?" Kiko heard the seemingly concerned tone of his opponent.

Kiko's brow twitched and his face contorted in a butter expression.

'Pity? Is this bastard pitying me? Me? I am Kiko Sun! Do I need pity? Never!'

'An insignificant fool is looking down on me!?'

'I can't take it!'

'Never! Never! Neveeeeeer!'

'No one has the right to look down on meeeee!!!'

Kiko finally snapped out of anger. At that moment, a gleam started to light in his eyes. The gleam seemed to blaze like a surging fire. Every moment, it becomes more intense.

Orange-like electricity started to crawl all over his body once again. Along with it, was a surging flame. Now, Kiko's body was exuding both lightning and fire.

Seeing this, Yman immediately retreated by using his Time Warp ability. His decision was just right on time because after he retreated, an explosion happened with Kiko in the center.

"Self-destruct?" Yman whispered. However, a second later, he noticed Kiko was still standing in the middle of that explosion. He was unhurt!

Kiko spread his wings and flew in the air, then countless balls of fire emerged around Kiko. They seemed like they were covering the sky. Beads of sweat appeared on Yman's face.

"Ooh!" Adam Praeter's eyes gleamed in excitement upon seeing Kiko's figure in mid-air. "This is exactly a good move," He added. Without delay, Kiko fired the balls of flame.

Although they were made of flame, Yman noticed a lightning element in them. If one of them could hit him, he would be in big trouble. No lies.

The balls of flame mixed with lightning rained down rapidly. 

Truly, with this kind of attack, Yman would have no chance to counter him. A grin appeared on Kiko's face. In his mind, since he had no way of retaliating to his opponent, he would rather burn the whole stage instead. This is such a wonderful plan. He was truly a genius!

Looking at it, Principal Mar Mari immediately called the instructors to strengthen the barrier.

Along with Instructor Turr, Instructor Mus, and Instructor Beth, Instructor Goki immediately went around the stage, outside the invisible barrier. They faced their palm on the barrier and summoned mana.

Actually, they have another assignment. It was to stop the fight immediately when Crimson's health points reached zero percent.

But still, "Tsk!" Goki clicked his tongue. "This is bad. There is a high chance that Yman will get hurt seriously. Or worse, if we interjected late. Yman will seriously get killed if that happened," Goki knitted his brows. He didn't like this careless decision from the councils. Yman was like a younger brother to him. That's why he cared for his safety. It's fine if he loses as long as he survives. Goki thought with his honest feelings.

Right after the instructors reinforced the barrier, a series of random explosions happened, destroying the stage further. 

The defeated contestants felt a chill run down their spines. Initially, they regretted losing the match, but now they are glad after seeing Kiko's out-of-sense barrage of attacks.

Who would survive in that kind of attack?! They exclaimed in their mind. It seems like doomsday is currently happening.

The spectators covered their ears because of the deafening explosions. On the stage, they could only see smoke and flames blooming, overcoming the entire stage.

About Yman or Crimson?! Who cares about him at this point?! He would surely not survive in that kind of attack. No, more accurate to say, no one in the entire Fledgling class can survive that attack. Not even the second year could hope to survive it. Perhaps even the third year could not come out unscathed. Kiko was just talented! He was no doubt the strongest elite male student!

This is what is in most students' minds at the moment.

Kiko's figure could be seen laughing in mid-air as he conducted his balls of flames like an orchestra conductor.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

"Kill the bastard!"

"Pity huh!"

"Now pity yourself!"

"GAHAHAHA!"

He guffawed.

After about a minute of a barrage, Kiko's attacks finally stopped. The stage had gradually brightened as smoke left the stage. They noticed rubbles everywhere and the stage is hardly known as a stage anymore. It's more like a ruin now!

Everyone gasped in disbelief at the outcome of Kiko's attack.

A second later, *TOOOIIIIINNNGGG!!!* Everyone heard a loud siren. This was the siren to signal the end of the match.

Finally! The longest match came to an end! Most of the spectators, especially Kiko's supporters, shouted cheerfully.
