Chapter 492 A tough battle
The rumor of Blue Skull appearing had just appeared when, as if confirming their guess, news spread out that he had challenged a third-year student.
"Which person has he challenged?"
"I think he has challenged Akash."
"To think he will challenge room number 450, this could backfire. I know that guy; he is not your average third-year."
Students in Santa Hostel started discussing the fight; many were excited to witness this battle.
The stage was set; the crowd had already gathered. This time, the students from other hostels also came, as this was a big fight.
"Where had he been for the past two months?"
"Who knows, he might be training or relaxing. Why are you saying that? Didn't you like our hostel to be calm and peaceful in his absence?"
"You are right, but have you forgotten about other menaces in our hostel? Why are they both in our hostel?"
"Look at the bright side; our hostel has become famous. See, even many swans have come; can you believe that?" said a boy as he whistled, slowly looking around and lowering his sunglasses as he looked at a group of girls.
"What about the annoying crows that have followed them?" said his friend as he looked at the crowd.
Between the cheers of the crowd, both participants entered the ring. On one side was a tall boy with a good physique.
He had a handsome face with black hair and blue eyes, making him famous among girls.
He equipped his armor over his gear and brought out his swords without wasting time. He was a dual-wielder.
He stood in his place, closing his eyes and focusing, ignoring the noise of the crowd around him.
"Don't you think Blue Skull has picked up the wrong guy?"
"Is it even a question? He will know the terror of a battlemage with rare elements," said his friend.
"It looks like you know quite a lot. Tell me more about Akash," he asked with curiosity.
"You will know once the battle starts; I will only say that this will be an interesting battle between two opponents who don't fight like regulars." replied the other guy with a smile.
A black-colored combat suit appeared around his body, covered in black and filled with purple runes.
The blue skull The masked fighter looked at his opponent, standing still with his eyes closed. The moment his eyes opened, they met the purple eyes of his opponent.
An invisible storm appeared between them. Rishi was surprised; he could tell from one look that this guy was not someone simple.
However, he was prepared; his new transformation technique had given him confidence.
His eyes fell on the opponent's swords; he was carrying two long swords with a white blade and a red edge that hurt one's eyes.
Wasting no time, he summoned his swords and prepared himself, standing in his fighting stance.
The opponent raised his brows when he saw Rishi also using two swords; in a previous match, he had seen him using a spear.
The referee asked both fighters if they were ready before signaling the start of the battle.
Both participants charged at each other. Smoke appeared from below Rishi's feet as he excelled toward his opponent.
'Whoosh'
The opponent's figure blurred as it approached Rishi; 'clang' their swords met, which surprised both.
'Clang', 'clang'
Sparks were created as they exchanged multiple moves. It was then that Rishi used mana veins on his legs and succeeded in landing a kick on his chest.
They both separated and looked at each other. Rishi activated mana veins all over his body, and a purple fire covered the edges of his swords.
His opponent activated mana veins on his hands and legs, and a gray liquid crystallized on his sword edges.
They approached each other again, but this time, Rishi was slow. Four chains appeared before him, and charged at the opponent.
Akash used his sword technique, 'Thousand Cuts First Form,' and his hands blurred, moving at a speed not visible to the naked eye.
'Swish'
The chains broke apart into countless pieces. Rishi wanted to use them to summon more chains faster from their place, but they exploded and turned into black smoke.
It was now that Rishi realized the same trick would not work twice, but this was not a big deal for him.
His feet left behind dust as he charged at the opponent. His swords shone purple as he used 'Umbral Surge' and gained adaptive penetration.
'Clang'
With each strike, his attack became more lethal. He used 'Sword Dash' to land some blows on the opponent.
'Swish' His weapons met no resistance, but there was no smile on his face. He had missed
He felt a chill from his back, moved his swords back, and cut the approaching sword slash. He used 'Shadow Blink,' appeared behind the opponent, and slashed his swords again.
Again, the same thing repeated: his attack missed, and he felt attacks from behind, but this time he was slow.
'Cut'
Multiple cuts appeared on his body, and he got a taste of his own medicine. His opponent wanted to repeat his attack and continue his combo, but Rishi disappeared into the ground.
He sighed in relief when, 'Boom,' the area around him blasted. He dodged and came out fast.
The moment his eyes met with the opponent, there was a surprise in them. He felt a chill down his spine. That could have been dangerous.
He pointed his sword at him. 'Swish' 'Swish' 'Swish' countless chakrams appeared around him and charged at him.
The opponent dodged them easily; his body danced in the air, occasionally disappearing and reappearing at different times.
He crossed his swords and slashed them using his sword technique: 'Thousand Cuts Second Form.' A storm of wind blades appeared from his center, blasting all his chakrams into pieces, turning them into black smoke.
The next moment, the opponent suddenly disappeared from his place and appeared a little behind, his swords cutting through the air.
'Clang'
They hit a figure that was thrown back; Akash disappeared again and appeared before Rishi, who launched a powerful attack.
However, Rishi used 'Shadow Blink' in time and disappeared. He looked at his opponent, his body covered in wounds.
Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead as his eyes met with his opponent.
The crowd cheered; this battle was way more entertaining than they had initially expected.
"Who is this Akash guy? Why is he so underrated?"
"He is someone who caused chaos two years ago, but after that, he disappeared. Most thought he was overrated, but now that I see him, he is way stronger than I expected."
"His speed is something I have never seen; he moves swiftly and can use a dash skill countless times. Blue Skull is in trouble."
"Akash's attacks are also strong; he is a perfect counter for someone like Blue Skull."
