Chapter 495 End of a power packed battle
Onlookers looked at the fight, and their mouths opened wide in surprise.
"Akash, Akash!" cheered people supporting Akash.
It looked like Akash had won because that last attack was strong enough to eliminate Rishi.
Even normal attacks from Akash penetrated through his defense; this was his strongest one till now. There was no chance for Rishi.
"To think he could teleport his strongest attack, Akash made us all believe he could only teleport weak attacks. This helped him to foll everyone."
"He is done for; finally, someone was able to show him his peace."
"You are right; he was stepping beyond his boundaries."
"Look, there."
A voice appeared that got everyone's attention. Inside the battle ring, a figure became visible in the smoke.
It was taller and a little different; winds passed by and carried smoke and dusk with it. His face was revealed.
He looked way different; his hair had turned into ice, and he stood. There was a crescent moon symbol on his forehead.
His whole body was slightly glacial blue, and many white-colored tattoos appeared on it.
"Look at this; he looks so beautiful," said someone in the crowd. This was the first time others had seen him without a mask.
In this form, his charm also showed his power, and his elven features made him mysterious and unique.
He turned his neck and stretched his neck. A smirk appeared on his triangular face as he looked at his opponent.
Malice appeared in his eyes. He raised his hands, and his swords, away from him, started approaching him.
He held them and looked at Akash. "What's your name?"
"Akash," replied Akash as he looked at his opponent, who looked completely different. Even his presence has changed.
"I will remember it," he said before a cold expression appeared on his face.
His feet left the land the next moment, leaving behind footprints made of ice. He used 'Shadow Steps' and became faster.
Chains appeared again, this time covered in glacial blue. 'Ice Enhancement' has become way stronger now.
The 'Magic Movement' rune of his mana heart activated as he used the spell, and his movement speed increased again.
'Whoosh'
He appeared before Akash and hit him. 'Clang,' their swords collided again.
Akash was thrown back, and his swords started shaking. He felt vibrations all over his hands that made him loosen the grip of his swords.
A chill gust hit him when he clashed with his opponent, slowing his body. His sword was also frozen, and he had to use his aura to keep its edge sharp.
Chains appeared around him again; he used his sword technique again and hit them.
'Crack' Multiple cracks appeared on the ice surrounding the chains, but it regenerated the next movement, and the chains moved toward Akash again.
He disappeared and appeared on the other side. He hovered and felt a chill behind his back that froze his blood.
'Slash'
A sword slash landed on his back, and a kick followed that threw him toward the chain.
Eyes of Rishi shone scarlet, and in the kick, he transmitted a large amount of killing intent on Akash's body that stunned him for a moment.
A giant hand covered in snow appeared and punched him, throwing him back. Akash used his dash skill and appeared on the other side.
He coughed up a large amount of blood; two large pieces could be seen on his back. A jolt of pain rushed through his body. He was feeling cold, and his body had become slower.
Before he could even rest for a moment, ice spikes appeared from the ground and hit him. Their speed was so fast that he was not able to react.
'Boom'
They exploded the next moment and injured him further. 'Cough,' he threw up another mouth full of blood.
His body appeared covered in injuries; he was tired and out of mana, but he still stood up, taking support from his sword.
A figure appeared before him and held him by the neck. Frost energy started entering his body and freezing him.
He looked at his eyes, oozing a crimson glow, and felt as if he were looking at his death. The swords he carried around as part of his body felt heavy.
He was not able to raise them and strike the opponent before him. He stabbed the nails of the opponent and pierced his neck.
"Surrender." A cold voice appeared in the ears of Akash, who was struggling to open his eyes.
"I give up," he said, not ashamed of anything. He had done everything possible, but nothing worked on his opportunity.
Rishi put him down, and a chair of ice appeared below Akash, which stopped him from falling to the floor. His eyes then shifted to the right.
When the Referee saw those cold eyes focused on him, he gulped and announced, "Challenger has won the match."
'Whoost'
Rishi disappeared the next moment. No one was able to see where he had gone.
The crowd was thrilled as they looked at the battle ring. The medics had come and were taking Akash away.
"That was crazy; what kind of transformation was that? I have never seen it."
"It's called Ice Elf Transformation. It's one of the toughest techniques to master. It requires high affinity, an ice core, and an icy physique to even qualify to learn."
"I have seen someone use it before, but it was not strong. Not many use it as transformation spells are generally used to gain higher defense and physical strength."
"Forget about other things; did you see how cool he looked? Should I also learn it? Will I also look like him?" asked one of the boys.
This battle became popular on social media. It was not because others had not seen many spectacular battles.
What made it unique was how a first-year student defeated one of the best three-year students.
Many third-year students admitted that Akash was way stronger than they had initially expected; most thought he was just above average.
It also inspired some students who wanted to learn a body transformation technique.
Meanwhile, on the training field, Ishan came sprinting toward his friends.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?" asked Gopal.
"See this clip; you will know," he said, throwing his phone at Gopal.
Others also looked at it; this clip showed the battle of Rishi. It captured all the incredible moments, from him unleashing his zone to his transformation.
The ending part was the best one, when he held Akash with one hand like an adult handling a kid.
"It looks like he has been grinding for the past month," laughed Gopal.
"This time, he might be able to face me on equal ground," said Amit.
"At the speed he is improving, he might be the next big thing," commented Ishan.
Others nodded; they were happy that their house would have another strong member. This would increase their chance of lifting the trophy.
