Chapter 72: Chapter 67 – One sided battle

“Could it be?! The contestant Shiro has already been defeated?!”, the announcer commented on the events going on within the arena.

‘It’s so loud’, ‘Shiro’ thought.

“STAND UP RIGHT THIS INSTANT!”, he demanded once again, he was on the breakdown of his hopes.

“Shut up.”, ‘Shiro’ finally decided to answer, he used his arms to support his body on standing up. “You’ve still got some fight within you!”

“Your voice is like a damn alarm, you’re making my eardrums go numb!”, he complained. The crowd got their hopes up once again upon the young white haired boys rise from the ground.

His body was tattered, small cuts and bruises were spread across his body, but they healed themselves almost instantly the moment it’s host became conscious.

“NOW COME AT ME, SHIRO!”, the ‘Berserker’ chanted a spell, a magic circle appeared below him. “‘Light Boost’!”

His body glowed luminously, the air vibrated around him. He set one foot forward and in the next moment he appeared before the defenseless looking boy.

“Yeah, I’ll do that. But first, let me check something.”, he spoke like the fight wasn’t even happening.

He extended his arm forward, and a small ball of light appeared on the palm of his hand.

‘Is it the same spell as before? No, their shape is like a ‘Mana Bullet’.’, he conjured, he swung his sword to cut down the magic spell.

“Wha—“

His blade was blown away, no serious damage was dealt. However, he lost his weapon to fight. “I was actually aiming to create space between us, but I guess this shall suffice.”

Another ball of light appeared around his stomach area, and he too was blown away.

‘His reaction time grew faster.’, a huge space was created between them, as ‘Shiro’ had intended. He stood up, picked up his blade again.

“‘Status’”, ‘Shiro’ muttered, and his status plate appeared before him. He inspected it and closed his eyes.

“I see, alright. I know what to do.”, he muttered to himself, ignoring everything around him. His eyes hidden by his white hair made his expression hard to tell. “Okay, you can come now.”

‘Is he trying to mock me?’, the ‘Berserker’ nevertheless charged forward again, his speed and strength showed no difference from before.

The white haired child stood still, not even defending himself. The air around him changed, something menacing seemed to be behind his small stature.

“‘Rock Blast’”, multiple rock shards penetrated what appeared to be a wall surrounding the white haired child.

‘’Berserk’ won’t last long, I need to have as much 'fun' as possible while I can!’, he shattered the boulders he created himself that were in his way, and appeared before the youth before him.

“!!!”, the young boy had his hand extended towards his enemy.

“Die.”, pitch black flames engulfed him along with the entire arena, he held his blade to protect himself against the darkness devouring him.

His blades’ glow was slowly darkening, like a lamp losing its power, the ground surrounding the little circle he was imprisoned in, melted like iron.

“AAAAAA!!!”, his body was being affected by the flames, his armor was melting on his own body, and the uncovered parts of his body were darkening like scorch marks.

Suddenly the flames cleared out, everything around him changed. The floor was molten like magma, the boulders struck on the ground were reduced to nearly nothing but small hills.

“Wow, I’m genuinely impressed.”, ‘Shiro’ commented on his survival. He could not tell if the youth before him was telling the truth, his expression was hidden behind his hair covering his eyes and his voice was emotionless.

Despite the sudden turn tables, his smile did not disappear. As for this was exactly what he was hoping for.

Before he could react, the youth extended his hand forward ready to launch another attack.

“Not agai—“

The whole field was suddenly filled with mist, thick white clouds spread throughout the whole arena. Not even the spectators could see a thing.

‘Is it me or is it getting colder?’, due to the extreme heat surrounding him earlier, it made him sensitive to the temperature suddenly changing.

“…”, he looked around to see if any attack could be incoming, in this case it would be the most ideal situation to be targeted.

No matter where he looked, nothing was to be seen nor heard except for the spectators wondering what was happening.

“‘Light Blade Destruction’!”, he conjured the same attack again, his darkened blade glowed in a ominous color and exploded.

The shockwave from the sword cleared out all the mist surrounding the arena, however…

‘Where is he?’

His opponent was nowhere to be seen, it seemed like he disappeared just like mist or maybe he was reduced to nothing?

“..!”, he suddenly felt something touch his back or rather pass through his back, sending shivers down his spine, he swung his sword in an arch and a shadow leaped back to evade.

“Hmm, it seems like touching your spirit directly isn’t a good idea.”, ‘Shiro’ with a matter of fact voice, noted that to himself. He didn’t even spare a look at his opponent.

‘I didn’t even see him…’, he once again charged forward. He knew that standing still doing nothing wouldn’t do him any good.

“Splendid! You are making this even more exciting!”, he praised his opponent once more, he however did not respond. “What?! Cat caught your tongue?!”

No answer, as expected. It felt as if he was nonexistent to him.

“I think it’s time for us to finish this, for my next attack I’ll unleash my strongest attack. Take me revealing my special attack as a professional courtesy.

“Now! ‘Retribution’!”

Light started gathering itself around his sword, the light grew extremely radiant, it even blinded the spectators.

A pillar of light that extended all the way to the sky, came from the glowing blade.

“Unlike the actual ‘Excalibur’ which’s destructive power in mana is equivalent to over one hundred court mages or maybe more, this is nothing but a mere imitation of the real thing.”

‘Shiro’ did not respond, and simply stood still like he was enjoying the spectacle before him.

“But this should be powerful enough to reduce you to ash!”, the light blade, now ready to meet its opponent, radiated like the sun.

“‘Radiant Light Blade’!”, the pillar of light dropped upon the small shade of a person, engulfing him within the holy light, the light shone upwards like a pillar of light.

You are reading story I got reincarnated into another world, but I didn’t even reincarnate properly?! at novel35.com

“What’s happening, I can’t see anything!”, everyone was blinded by the ray of light coming from the pillar of light. The people were taken in by the pure light before them, like moths to a flame.

“Ugh…”, the ‘Berserker’s eyes returned to normal, and he fell to his knees.

‘I can’t move anymore, ‘Berserk’ and my special attack drained me altogether. The best I could do now is parry and use magic…’

The light soon disappeared, revealing a crater.

“I see, so that’s how it went. It needs perfecting and I wasn’t really expecting this sort of outcome…”, within the crater, the small white haired boy muttered to himself as if he were making an analysis.

“Haha!!!”, his expression showed clear displeasure, yet at the same time a look of excitement was spread across his face.

“Superb! This is exactly what I’ve been waiting for! This feeling, this excitement!”, 'Berserker' released a small laugh at almost every end of his sentence. He had a look of insanity in his eyes.

“Next…”, the white haired youth muttered to itself, he created ice lances, and aimed them down on his opponent.

“‘Surpass Limits: Berserk’ and ‘Transcend Limits’!”, his sword began glowing once more, his body radiating with power and mana, he destroyed all the incoming projectiles.

“—!”, however multiple more came in without restraint.  “I wonder how long you’ll last.”, ‘Shiro’ muttered, as if he were enjoying seeing his opponent struggle.

The ‘Berserker’ used his sword to parry every incoming spear of ice, some of them were barely evaded leaving behind scratch marks and cuts.

“KH!”, one spear of ice impaled his left leg and came out from the other side.

The ice spears stopped incoming. “They’ve become faster, but not more powerful… is it due to the size and mana I've inputted? Or maybe I should’ve made them bigger… actually. I think I’ve made a pretty good job.”, ‘Shiro’s gaze was on his opponents leg.

From the leg up all the way to his chest was beginning to freeze. “The moment my ice spear pierced your leg, it began spreading my mana throughout your body and is beginning to freeze you from inside. Consider me telling you this a professional courtesy.”

The ‘Berserker’ used his sword to support himself back up, he put his hand on the spear of ice coming from his leg and pulled it out.

“At this rate I’m going to receive the ‘Pain Resistance’ skill!”, he stood up and prepared to attack…

But his body refused.

‘Huh? Why can’t I move, what is this feeling…’, he touched his chest area with his empty hand, not just does the freezing stop him from moving, something else was stopping him as well.

‘Move! Move damn it! I can’t let this chance slip by!’, he mustered to move with his pure will. And charged towards his enemy one last time with his blade glowing ever so powerfully, to the spectators this seemed like a desperate charge, however to him this was his 'fun'.

"'Light Speed', 'Increased Sword Strength', 'Berserk'!!!", he disappeared in an instant, using all his power, activating worst case scenario skills, he charged forward releasing all his power.

“You really don’t know how to give up… well it’s not like ‘I' know any better either…”,  ‘Shiro’ finally irritated by his adversary’s tenacity, extended his hand preparing another attack.

His enemy was ready to take it head on, however what soon happened was unexpected.

“H-how…?”

The blade was stopped by a pure white skinned hand.

“Give up, it’s useless and you know it.”, cracks began spreading across the blade, and broke down to nothing but shards of metal, the light attribute mana surrounding his blade disappeared like shards of glass.

However, he did not stop there.

The youth grabbed his arm, pulled him close to eye level.

Finally, the youths expression became clear. The pair of golden eyes looking down on him. Exerted something different than bloodlust. if there was a word to describe it, it would be...

'Wrath'

And so, for the first time. The fearsome being known  as the ‘Berserker’ felt fear and dread towards the being before him.

"I did all I needed to do, goodbye.", from the small youth before him, an unexpected amount of strength came from the small structure. 

He threw him away like pebble outside the arena as if onto a lake, trying to see how many times it would leap.

"This is incredible! The F class adventurer Shiro has defeated the A class adventurer 'Berserker', he'll be moving onto the next match!!!", his victory assured, he left the arena, but was suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"I see, 'I' haven't completely given up...", he held his head as if he were receiving a headache. "Fine, I'll let you come back. Next time however, I'll be here to stay."

"One day, you'll need my strength again, it is inevitable...", 'Shiro' fell down onto his knees, he held his head in pain and lost consciousness.
