Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 655
655. Neria Eudemia vs Celestia Yurisian – The power to freeze even the world (3)
***
ㅡFirst time.
For Celestia, this moment itself was a first.
It is literally erasing even the slightest delusion that remains in one’s mind and unleashing all one’s power.
The moment I saw Anastasia’s Ice Mirror, I decided to use Dragonborn, and the more I competed, the stronger it became.
That’s why I was able to do it.
‘believe.’
Neria’s power, not mine. I believed in the power of Anastasia, the main character, who hoped for her ideals and created them.
Cratesia’s anger fully manifested in the Dragonborn state. There was no hesitation in using the enormous power that exists only for destruction.
“… … .”
In my eyes, Neria and Anastasia’s vision were reflected at the same time. Nevertheless, my mind was transparent, like looking at a clear sky.
‘Because I believe it.’
I’m not sure whether I will win this match or not. But just feeling this complete openness made me extremely satisfied.
About this reality of being able to unleash my full power and everything without adding or subtracting anything… … .
Under such a strong load that my body seemed to be slowly distorting, I finally unleashed the power I had condensed.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!
Cratesia’s anger left her hand as the world turned blood-red all at once and rushed towards Anastasia’s ice mirror.
Just one trajectory.
Nevertheless, it contained a power that was incomparable to any power I had ever shown.
“… … !”
I looked at reality blankly in an unknown sensation that transcended cognition.
Slurp… … !
From noble mtl dot come
It moves.
Even in the face of such destructive power, Binggyeong moves as if it were natural and prepares to face it.
‘That would be right.’
Even now, the sight of Anastasia moving to protect Neria aroused a new sense of wonder in me.
A light movement of stretching out the legs.
And a beautiful stroke of a single stroke, as if drawing a stroke, with the ice sword he is holding.
There was nothing about the movements in the process that was not beautiful.
Who in the world can show a graceful figure like her right now?
In pure wonder, I gazed at the result.
The world becomes distorted.
As the chill emanating from the slashed sword distorts my vision, I am encountering Cratesia’s wrath in its entirety in a strange sense of being cut.
River to river.
In the face of such destructive power, Anastasia’s ice cape was trying to respond to me with pure power.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■!!
All sounds in the world stopped.
In an instant, the world turned upside down, as if a bitter white cold covered the entire world stained with blood.
“ah… … .”
All of those moments seemed to be imprinted in my eyes, and my mouth dropped open involuntarily.
ㅡI don’t understand.
I can’t even understand anything.
How on earth could such an unrealistic scene unfold? But it was so clear that I had no choice but to know.
A bitter white cold covered the blood-red world again.
“… … .”
Then, the world, which immediately regained its original color, became extremely quiet.
No words came out as I faced a reality that was extremely different from the explosion that erupted as I manifested Cratesia’s anger.
It was as if everything did not exist.
As if it were a lie that I even brought about the full manifestation of Cratesia.
Damn… ! Damn… … !
But I saw the future.
No, it was the future and soon reality.
The world, once filled with silence, regained its sound as if a white chill burst out.
And as if the atmosphere was exploding, countless fragments of strange cold air filled the space.
Sreuk.
When I looked blankly at my outstretched hand, even my hand had suddenly turned white and frozen.
If you move even a little, the sight is frozen as if the atmosphere is breaking apart.
‘under… … .’
The Dragonborn is already completely released.
Even though I had no strength left, I instinctively felt boiling heat flowing through my arms.
ㅡ! ㅡ! ㅡ!
The constantly flowing bloodstream supplied the heat. That wasn’t my intention; it was a sight born out of my body’s survival instinct.
Sussseu… … !
I couldn’t even move even though the extreme cold that had enveloped my hands was barely melting as I was spewing out huge steam.
I feel like if I move my hand even a little bit, it will just break… … .
And then I found out.
‘Nonsense.’
Right now, the range up to the hand I held out in front of me, and almost all the visible space, was the radius of Anastasia’s power. The entire visible space was literally frozen, and time stopped for everything that existed there.
And that the space is now spewing out a lot of cold air as if it is falling apart.
Damn… … !
Afterwards, the sound that sounded like something creaking caught my attention again.
Anastasia’s Ice Mirror, swinging her sword with a single stroke of grace.
Cracks were slowly forming in her new form.
“… … .”
At the same time, he looked blank.
Sreuk.
I couldn’t say or do anything as I watched Neria’s body slowly collapsing, her body helpless and dazed as if she had lost consciousness.
Crispy… … ! dump!
At the same time that Anastasia’s ice mirror completely collapsed, Neria also collapsed to the ground.
Even though I was staring blankly, I was neither happy nor sad.
I must have been overcome by an extremely strange feeling.
I only realized this after seeing that the frozen space had collapsed, spewing out coldness, and that Anastasia’s Ice Mirror and Neria had also collapsed.
‘The wrath of Cratesia fully manifested in my Dragonborn state… … .’
It was so unrealistic that even all traces of it had been erased.
Good!
When the host got off the field, I was able to carefully retrieve my stiff right hand.
It was hot.
I could barely move my hands after my arms became so hot that they felt like they were burning.
“The winner of this amazing match was… … ! Celestia Yurisian of the Northern Academy—!!”
The host’s voice rang loudly and for a moment I was just dazed.
Rather, I even began to question the results.
‘Did I win?’
Is this really a game I can say I won?
I couldn’t tell even now that the game was over.
I can’t say that I lost, but Anastasia’s absolute inaction was displayed at the last moment.
That was the first thought that struck me at the extreme sight that seemed to have frozen even the world, and the power that transcended reality.
if.
‘Neria intentionally… … .’
The slight suspicion that it might have limited the scope of that power remained strongly in my mind.
A space of absolute zero that completely froze my hands.
If it had covered my entire body, I might have had to prepare for death, apart from Neria collapsing before my eyes.
Due to the immediate survival instinct, the bloodstream containing enormous heat was still circulating throughout the body, but even this may not have been possible.
“ha… … .”
I took a small breath out of extreme fatigue, but walked absentmindedly.
It was cold.
Even now, the entire space in front of me was extremely cold.
Still, I wanted to take him there myself.
Without realizing it, I wanted to give my heart to Neria, who had this much potential and proven her worth.
Because she is not someone who cannot be treated well, to the point where she is lying on the cold floor like this.
***
The game is over.
Everyone knew, including the tens of thousands of spectators inside the Grand Colosseum, the royal family, high-ranking nobles, and even the Academy cadets who participated in the Colosseum.
“… … .”
“… … .”
But no one could easily open their mouths.
Tens of thousands of spectators blinked their eyes in a daze, doubting or not understanding what they were seeing, and conversely, those who were sophisticated enough to understand the content of the game were unable to speak in any other way.
The match played earlier by Han Cheon-seong and Azazel could be said to be an overwhelming match that garnered countless admirations and comments, but the match that took place now was no less.
No, in some ways, it was more of a shock than that.
And the person who felt the greatest shock was, ironically, Chunseong.
Among the participating cadets, he was the only one who understood all aspects of the game that was unfolding, so the emotions he felt were all the more special.
Sreuk.
Even as I absentmindedly clenched my hands, I felt like heat was lingering in my body without me even realizing it.
‘it’s crazy.’
It was truly a crazy game.
When I completed the 4th formula in the first game and performed Surabicheon, I wonder if the people watching me felt this way.
I didn’t know much.
However, just watching the match between the two women made my body feel very hot.
Excitement immediately filled my heart, and I began to endlessly recall and understand the amazing sight I had just seen.
Anastasia’s ice mirror is the only response to Celestia’s destructive power.
Binggyeong did not attack first.
It was clearly a belated response.
Still, I could see it all with my eyes.
The sword that belatedly crossed the atmosphere froze everything in the world against a destructive force that had not yet arrived.
Yes, I felt like the world was frozen for a moment.
And the surprising reality that the results showed.
“… … ah.”
“it’s crazy.”
“Ha, this really can happen.”
Amidst the voices of other people who opened their mouths too late, I too just let out a blank laugh.
Amid the shouts of the host announcing the victory of the game, Celestia walked towards Neria and carefully picked up the unconscious woman.
The way the winner collected the loser and treated him with care showed another mystery.
‘You looked so arrogant.’
Now that the game was over, Celestia was treating Neria with extreme caution. It’s as if it’s dealing with something very precious.
“… … .”
I took a closer look at Celestia again.
The power shown by Anastasia’s Ice Mirror clearly transcended reality. It was so great that it made me feel a lot of things.
however.
Anastasia’s iceberg shattered into pieces.
Because that was the limit of power.
The moment the destructive power launched by Celestia was erased, it seemed to freeze the atmosphere and expand, but I could see it with my own eyes.
The extreme cold that was advancing stopped without reaching Celestia.
‘I thought Neria would come up, but that wasn’t the case.’
At this time, when my opponent for the finals was decided, I thought absentmindedly.
If it were me, how would I deal with that force?
“ha… … .”
Without realizing it, my whole body felt strong as I let out a sigh of relief.
My body was already looking forward to competing with her.
