Chapter 148. Rin Vs Berend(2)
Leaning back, Leo murmured softly. "She’s in serious trouble now if he’s using aura coating."
"Do you think she will lose?" Lucian asked in a low voice that was nearly drowned out by the roar of the crowd.
Leo clenched his jaw and shook his head. "You can’t call it until the game is over."
Below, with his warhammer wrapped in a pulsating golden aura, Berend stood in the middle of the arena like a giant. His body’s energy was channeled into the weapon through the rare skill of aura coating, which gave it the strength to break bones and steel.
He stared at Rin with a smile twisting his lips. His low, sour voice echoed through the silent arena as he growled, "This ends now, bronze girl."
His golden aura sliced the air like a comet as he swung the hammer in a fierce arc, leaving behind sparks that scowled against the dirt.
Before the weapon even struck, the ground began to crack from the force of the swing. Feeling the weight of the impending devastation, the crowd held its breath.
Despite the odds, Rin stood there with fierce pink eyes. She caught her breath, but she remained still. Her staff’s runes glowed brightly as she slammed it into the ground with a sharp cry.
Even though her hands were shaking, she chanted, "Glacia Murus!" with a steady voice. Mana swirled around her, a spinning vortex of blue light that formed a tall wall of ice, its surface shining like clear crystal.
