Chapter 182 (2/2)
To my surprise, just when the spell was inches away, ale surrounding my attack, but the ice spear that I had conjured had shattered
Ca whether I had been the one or not I quickly shook my head, my brows knit in confusion
I’ot back to his feet, unaffected—rather with a hint of satisfaction on his face
The elders and I all exchanged glances, no one completely sure exactly what had transpired
“Bah!” Elder Buhnderound beside hi the color of your hair and eyes is the only thing you can do”
Arthur smiled wickedly “Gladly”
My friend and now opponent became a blur This time, I was able to follow his faint form, just barely
<hr>
He sent a shockwave of , but the dwarf expected that He sculpted the boulder by his side to becoiant shi+eld of stone
A crater formed where the shockwave hit the shi+eld, but it had been no more than a diversion By the time time the shi+eld had blocked his spell, Arthur had already targeted Hester with a lance of black lightning in his hand
He’s not attacking you because he’s afraid to hurt you, Kathyln, the voice whispered tauntingly
Letting out a sharp breath, I focused on a spell that General Varay had taughtsince it et close to my opponent, but Arthur’s concern in this situation orse I didn’t like to be pitied
“Seraph of Snow”
Layers of frost spread overhardened into armor while a layer of white completely covered my body and the bottom half of my face
With ht to Arthur as being attacked by everyone else
Elder Ca blades of wind and cushi+oning Elder Buhnde and Hester whenever they were knocked away by Arthur
Arthur launched a spear of lightning at Camus, but it exploded mid air thanks to Hester’s intervention
Everyone felt the presence of my spell, but Arthur was too preoccupied to notice
The frost coveringinto a blade of ice
I swung the same way General Varay had drilled into me for over a year
My blade cut across his back, drawing blood that already froze Arthur’s head snapped back to aze more of surprise than of pain He spun around and launched a blade of wind at ated the spell
Without the need to physically block, I continueda shockwave of frost at Arthur
My opponent quickly blocked ht into Elder Buhndeh, as he already twisted his body and prepared to defend when a gale of wind spun hi and an excited smile stretched across his white beard He loaded his fist in position to punch while the earth around hiether around his fist to forauntlet of stone Hester e a blue flame around the earthen fist
A painful crash resounded as Elder Buhndeht into Arthur
“Oh! That felt so good!” the dwarven elder bea out the fire around his fist
I dispersedthe warmth that soon followed
Arthur sat up froed to create in the ground Stretching his neck, he let out a groan “You gotlet out a hearty laugh in agreement “The princess sure saved the day! The three of us were basically in a stale all-out”
“I’m not able to keep up that for out of stea you to come at me like some sort of ice ninja, Kathyln”
I tilted ” Arthur let out a wry chuckle, scratching the back of his head “I shouldn’t have taken you lightly, that’s all”
I blushed
Thankfully, Elder Ca Arthur up to his feet
“Interesting boy,” the quiet elder said with the faintest trace of a smile
“It seeure this will be a learning experience for all of us”
We all agreed on that

The five of us regrouped back near the entrance of the training rooo over the analysis of today’s little assessment, I just wanted to hear some feedback,” Emily addressed “Of course, our beautiful Miss Alanis E schedule for General Arthur, but overall if there are any concerns, please let me know”
Miss Emeria nodded, her expression deadpan “Feedback is crucial”
“I think it’s safe to say for everyone, especially General Arthur, that the biggest issue is concern for safety,” Hester noted
“Ah, yes!” I’ to help solve that proble,” Emily responded
“Can I ask what it is, exactly? I’m pretty curious,” Arthur asked
“It’s a device that basically reads howa last-minute defense mechanism to prevent a lethal blow,” the artificer answered almost mechanically
“If an artifact like that could be built, couldn’t it be given to all the soldiers in battle?” Elder Buhnde mused
Emily hesitated “It could, but—”
“It would be astronomically expensive,” Miss Emeria finished “Also, the defensiveattack In a training environment, the opponent would stop but out on the battlefield, another attack would be all the ene stroked his beard “True Good point”
“Yes, the artifacts are extremely expensive to make, not just for its cost but for the rarity of the material Phoenix wyrm scales are needed to raciously bestowed us with a few for the sake ofat aze
