Chapter 352: You Lose!
"Hahaha! So this is what power feels like!" Nirvana yelled, her voice distorting into a slightly deeper, unnatural resonance. After undoing one seal, the restrictive implanted by her mother finally shattered, and she could physically feel the endless, chaotic energy flowing through her body.
"Hahahaha!! I can’t wait! I want to let it all out!!!"
BOOOOM!!
She shot forward, completely destroying the stone ground behind her in a violent explosion of dust, appearing instantaneously before Austin, and threw a devastating, energy-infused punch right at him.
"What the?!"
Austin barely had time to react. Relying entirely on his reflexes, he raised both his heavy, gauntleted hands in a cross guard defense, bracing his stance just as her punch smashed into his arms.
BAM!!!
The transfer was monstrous. His feet dug deep into the ground, carving twin trenches into the bedrock as he was violently moved meters back. Austin blinked, his mind struggling to process the sheer physical impact, staring down at his black legendary class armor.
There wasn’t a structural crack on it, but there was a distinct, deep scratch gouged directly into the plating.
’Her fist left a mark on a legendary class armor?’ He muttered internally in absolute shock, staring at Nirvana, who now stood amidst the settling dust with a wild, devilish grin on her previously pristine face.
_
Mirabella’s eyes narrowed at the unnatural, suffocating hue of Nirvana’s sudden aura.
’Something isn’t right with this girl.’ She thought with a slight frown.
’Master, I can feel my kind from her.’
Vespina’s voice suddenly sounded in her head, her telepathic words profoundly stunning Mirabella.
’You mean she also has demonic energy in her?’ Mirabella asked in shock.
’Yup.’ Vespina answered casually, confirming the terrifying reality of the Bauhinia family’s deeply guarded secret.
"Here I come."
Nirvana muttered, her eyes glowing an eerie crimson, and shot forward again, tearing through the air resistance.
"Don’t overestimate yourself!!" Austin snapped, his pride as a warrior flaring as he met her charge head-on.
BOOOOM!!
The two smashed directly into each other at the exact center of the stage. The sheer force of their physical collision created massive tectonic cracks all over the place, spreading outward like a jagged spiderweb across the arena floor.
"Hahaha! Show me what your family’s powers can do!" She yelled, her battle-lust completely taking over, and sent forth a rapid series of heavy, bone-crushing punches, moving so fast it created visual afterimages that entirely stunned Davy, and the millions in the audience.
But Austin didn’t slow down. All the brutal, life-or-death months he had spent training in Mirabella’s dimension, fighting apocalyptic monsters with nothing but his bare fists, finally paid off; his physical combat speed flawlessly met hers punch for punch.
BOOOOM!
The concussive sonic waves of their rapid-fire attacks kept on creating more violent cracks on the ground, spreading all over the place, and constantly smashing into the protective barrier above.
"My goodness, is that, Nirvana?" Honky asked in sheer shock. Not only him, but the whole Sword Academy was completely dumbfounded, their eyes wide open as they watched their Nirvana brawling like a frenzied, frontline berserker.
"Go to hell!!"
Austin yelled, his Draconian blood boiling over. He tightly clenched his white-flamed fist, found a microsecond opening in her erratic guard, and sent a devastating punch straight towards her face.
BOOOOM!!!
His reinforced fist bypassed her defense entirely, and smashed right into her face, the heavy impact generating a visible shockwave; sending her violently flying backward through the air.
BAM!
She landed gracefully on her feet, skidding backward to absorb the momentum. She wasn’t even bothered about the fresh trail of dark blood on her split lips, and shot forward again like a rabid maniac.
"Is that how to give a punch?! Take mine!!" She utilized a footwork technique, easily appearing right behind his blind spot, and sent out a brutal punch.
Austin’s sense flared violently. He quickly spun around, planting his feet firmly, and also sent his own maximum-output fist to intercept:
BOOOOM!
The two fists violently smashed into each other. Instantly, Austin felt the dense structure of his bone crack under the unnatural density of her strength. The overwhelming force of the point-blank attack threw him backward like a ragdoll, and he smashed heavily on the ruined ground.
"Look at you! Bullying a lady." She said mockingly, her footsteps echoing as she started casually walking towards his downed form:
"I fought you without even my armor, and I am still overpowering you; is this the strength of your family?" She asked, her tone dripping with venomous condescension, not slowing down her predatory advance.
"So pathetic."
Austin grimaced in intense pain at her insulting words, ignoring his shattered hand, and violently smashed his good palm on the ground, launching himself back to his feet.
"How dare you insult my family!!"
A terrifying, scalding red aura suddenly burst out from his core. His physical mass rapidly expanded, as his heavy black armor and upper clothes violently shattered from his body, his perfectly well-built body finally coming into full view.
"Seems you’re getting serious." Nirvana licked her bloody lips in anticipation, her sanity slipping further away, and shot forward:
"Come on! Fight me!!" She yelled into the roaring wind, as her massive Bangles magically reappeared behind her, now ominously glowing with corrupted, blood-red lights.
"Come on!!"
Austin roared back, his white hair whipping wildly as he reset his bone, and shot forward again. The brutal second round officially started.
From his floating commentary booth, Davy watched the absolute carnage, entirely forgetting to speak:
"What sort of battle is this? These two are monsters." He muttered, watching the sheer, unprecedented devastation caused by the two young students below.
’If these students reach Lv500, what the hell will happen to the global power balance? What will happen to the world?’ He swallowed hard at the terrifying thought, realizing the era of the old elite empires was rapidly coming to an end.
"Surrender!! You can’t win me!!" Nirvana abruptly flew backward, using her spirit energy to defy gravity, hovering high in the air out of melee range, as her 50 newly formed red rings shot downwards towards Austin like homing missiles.
"Warrior Clap!!" Austin firmly planted his feet, raised both his massive hands, and clapped them together loudly, sending massive, visible waves of destructive sound energy towards the incoming rings.
BOOOOM!
The acoustic blast smashed directly into them, violently nullifying their momentum and sending them flying back up towards Nirvana.
’I unlocked the first seal, and we’re evenly matched... If I want to absolute win, I have to unlock the second seal.’ Nirvana thought frantically. Her pride absolutely refused to accept a stalemate. Her fist clenched tightly, drawing blood from her palms:
"You asked for this!!!" She yelled to the heavens, reaching deep into her soul, and unlocked the second seal.
BOOOOM!!!
A massive, suffocating wave of pure, concentrated red energy burst out from her inner core, eclipsing the sun as it spread rapidly all over the place, crashing down and smashing right into Austin before he could even attempt to evade.
"What is this energy?" Austin asked himself out loud in deep shock, dropping to one knee as he physically felt his immense Draconian powers, his physical buffs, and his vitality dropping rapidly as the red mist clung to him like a parasite.
"This is my second and strongest bloodline ability!! Bauhinia curse!! It takes away all your active buffs, temporary stats, and special lineage abilities, violently keeping them locked in your base, normal level!!" She said, floating above him, staring down at his weakened state with a triumphant, sinister grin:
"I admit!! You are indeed strong! But you are still not my opponent!" She arrogantly raised her slender hand, and the laws of magic twisted as five hundred massive red bangles materialized out of thin air, appearing around her, completely covering the entire sky like a localized meteor shower, all simultaneously spinning clockwise with a deadly, apocalyptic hum.
"You lose!!"
