Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 261. One Day Before Bag Exam. 9
Ryou ran with all his fire.
“Don't think of escaping!” yells
This was no longer a practice, but it had already turned into a serious fight.
“You think you can defeat me with such blind magic, Ryou?!”
[Earth Art: Bottomless Shifting Sand]
The ground around Ryou moved and turned into grains of sand.
“Kh! What happened?”
Ryou looked down. The ground he was treading was increasingly turning into sand and not just that. As if alive, they begin to slowly drown Ryou's body.
“I think it will hold you for a while, young man”
[Earth Art: The Ruler of Pebbles]
From the ground that was around Xenon, all of a sudden it rose and floated forming a small density of gravel-shaped. Xenon attacks Ryou with the pebble, but not just any pebble in general.
The high speed level makes Ryou have to feel the feeling of being showered with tens to hundreds of small pebbles with pain like being hit by a bullet.
“Akh!” yells
“Ryou!!” Kino and Kaito yell at Ryou's agonizing voice
The pebbles raining down on Ryou's body gave him a pretty impactful wound on his body, which at the same time was getting drowned in the sand.
“What's up? Where's the emotion you just released? Don't you want to make me regret for hurting your sister?! You sure you want to drown in the sand like that, huh?!”
“Don't dream of making me apologize to Kino if that's all you can do, you big-mouthed brat!”
All of that screaming made Ryou even hotter.
“Confusion tester..”
BLAAAAST
From Ryou's body came a magic fire that did not burn him at all but made the pebbles that rained down on him burn.
The sand that swallowed him up to his thigh height began to stop. It seems that Ryou started to cast another magic.
[Fire Art: Flame Prominence]
From within the sand that swallowed Ryou's body came out a huge burst of fire and destroyed the ground. Ryou's body made it out of there and Xenon's magic was stopped.
“You really suck. But, I'm glad this exercise turned into a battle. Just so you know, it's not just you who've been through a lot!”
Ryou yelled and ran to attack Xenon regardless of the injuries he suffered from the rain of the pebble bullet.
“I'll make you sorry for trying to provoke my emotions! [Fire Art: Flame Sword]”
Ryou's bamboo sword turned into a sword with a great flame burning.
As soon as the attack was aimed at fighting Xenon, one slash from Ryou instantly turned into a slash with flames gushing out.
“I didn't know that he was someone who could potentially use the [Spiritual Art Element] type as well. In this case, it's like I'm waking up a sleeping lion” muttered Xenon
“Stop saying nonsense and don't run away from me!”
The slash after slash that released flames continued to be released Ryou. Xenon dodged and cast magic earlier.
[Earth Art: The Ruler of Pebbles]
Again the pebbles rained down on Ryou. But this time it was useless. Ryou slashed out a slash to dispel the hail of bullet-like pebbles with fire from his sword.
“Don't you think the same attack was influential against me!!”
On the other hand, Kaito who was still busy with the wind knife slash was quite shocked by Ryou's change.
‘What happened? Ryou managed to master his magic to that extent?’
Kino still endured the pain and tried to stand up. But every time he moved, blood from his thighs flowed out. If the number is a little maybe not a problem, but unfortunately this comes out quite a lot.
“Kh..”.
“Kino!” Kaito who was near Kino panicked to hear that voice
Kino endured the pain. He still hasn't given up. The cloth that bound his wound began to be red and wet with blood.
“I...it's okay, Kaito-san”
“I'm sorry, I haven't been able to do anything with that wind knife! If I help you now, we might be hit by a fatal” attack
“It's okay, I. Akh!”
“Kino!”
Increasingly serious, Kaito has no other choice but to think about stopping the source of the attack.
‘The heat from Ryou's fire has spread all the way here. The river water is also still giving off steam and the wind is not controlled it further aggravates the state of’
Kaito's heavy thoughts became more and more so, until the heat turned into a sense of annoyance at himself.
“It's enough with the playfulness. If ‘that guy’ finds out I'm being weak like this, he'll definitely laugh at me while rolling around in pleasure” he said with an annoyed face
Kaito started to focus his mind.
‘I have to eliminate the source of the problem which is the wind. [Wind Art: Storm Blade], that's the magic's name. I'm the one who made it and I'm the one who has to control it’
“I don't want to die by my own gun!” Kaito yells and casts magic that is none other than the same magic.
[Wind Art: Storm Blade]
Another wind vortex is created with the same size. But there is a little progress here.
Unlike the wind that randomly emitted random wind sword slashes all over the place, the wind sword created this time focused on blocking the other slashes that came.
Already so, the new wind vortex created by Kaito's second magic can move and hit the first vortex which causes the magic magnetic power due to friction.
Kaito was unwilling to waste his time and cast the magic that was on his mind.
[Wind Art: Black Feather Blade]
Kaito's sword was surrounded by a strange wind that was suddenly created because of his magic and suddenly appeared a lot of black feathers.
When the slash from Kaito was done, the feathers of the black bird in large numbers began to lead to the place where the two wind whirlpools for themselves.
Like a sharp knife, all of the black bird's feathers seemed to forcefully stop its whirlwind so that the two sources of trouble disappeared.
Xenon who saw it couldn't stop being surprised.
“He succeeded too apparently. I think my job is almost done”
“Kaito...-san?” Kino was like dreaming of seeing that
Kaito chose to approach Kino and carry her to a safer place.
“Kaito-san, why not go to help Ryou?”
“He can handle Xenon alone. Your wounds must be washed and treated. After that, we will think of the best way against him”
“But it won't affect any”
“Xenon seriously made this exercise a one-sided massacre, Kino”
“Eh? Xenon-san really–”
“He really forced us to get to the very bottom of sustaining life. In other words, this will be a real fight”
Kaito takes Kino to the back of a tree close to the river bank. There were rocks around the place and they were pretty protected.
Looking at his pocket watch, Kaito noticed something strange.
“Hour...do not move?”
“What?”
Kino looked at his pocket watch as well and it seemed that magic had an effect on it as well.
“At 08.12, the time stops at eight o'clock. Kaito-san, could this be the influence of the magic that Xenon-san explained at the beginning?”
“It seems so. That magic called [Time Seal] sealed the movement of time inside this place, including our pocket watch”
Kaito put his pocket watch in his pants pocket. He took off his beloved robe and tore it apart a little.
“Kaito-san, why did you tear it!!” Kino looks panicked to see Kaito break his beloved robe
“Don't think about that. This cloak has magic instilled by ‘people it’. Once we get out of here, he'll be back to how he was. Your wound must be closed so you can move back”
Kino was still in shock.
Finished tying Kino's wound, Kaito gave his robe to Kino.
“Kino, I'll go to the rescue.no, to fight Xenon. I think it would be a big mistake trying to save Ryou. He had already gone crazy due to emotions and it seemed that it had quite an effect on his magic control level”
“Kaito-san.
“Wait here. I'll end it” soon
Kaito ran away leaving Kino alone.
Now, Ryou and Xenon had already reached the peak of the fight.
“Still have the strength to fight? I just want to say that I haven't cast the best magic I have against you. Considering you might die if I do it”
Xenon's words made Ryou even more annoyed.
“If you're still trying to demean me, it's best to look in the mirror before you talk!”
Ryou aimed another fire slash towards Xenon and the sound of an explosion was created. When Kaito comes, it seems they should be ready to receive another warm welcome.
