Chapter 371 - ‘Let Me.’
Kiko breathed deeply. Steam gushes out from his mouth. He resisted the thing that seemed to command him to do whatever things it was commanding.
He gritted his teeth. "It can\'t be! I am Kiko Sun! No one can dictate me!" Kiko shouted and released strong energy out of his body.
Eh?
The audience was surprised at what he did.
"What happened to our friend? Is he okay? Why did he stop? The fight is going to be over!" Bruno asked. But his friends were as confused as him.
Sistela wondered what happened to the opponent, but it\'s good for her because she\'ll be given enough time. If her partner still couldn\'t get back to those times, it was their defeat. She has nothing else she could do in her situation. All she could do was use Self-Healing and Rapid Leap abilities.
Since she only has one leg and no arms, she lost her ability to attack and defend. All she could do was run away and try to prolong the fight even for a little. If only her partner\'s physical attributes weren\'t high, she would have been defeated already.
Viewers didn\'t know what happened to Kiko. Just one more attack and he was sure to win.
At that moment,
Hah! Hah! Hah!
Everyone heard loud breathing. It was from Kiko. He was breathing deeply.
Principal Kim was anxiously biting his fingernail. He didn\'t think that Kiko still hadn\'t lost control of himself. He seems to have underestimated Kiko\'s willpower.
Kiko\'s pride still seemed to prevail. He turned to the sky and suddenly laughed like crazy. Kiko knows the danger posed by Divine Sinner\'s Blood. He didn\'t wish to use it. He just brought it with him for extra caution. Also, even though he didn\'t want to admit it, he felt threatened by Yman\'s high physical attributes. And it turned out he was right to bring it.
His laughter lasted for about ten seconds before slowly turning to the opponent. He saw his ridiculous condition. A grin surfaced on his face.
"I see, so you\'re still alive, huh," he said in a cold voice. He will end him now.
After drinking that thing, Kiko felt that everything seemed so light. He felt so strong. It was a good feeling. He believed he can take down a hundred of Yman at the same time.
"Now is the time to end this match. It already took so long," Kiko whispered.
Everyone noticed what seemed to be electricity creeping out on Kiko\'s body.
"Lightning attribute?!" Some spectators exclaimed when they saw it.
"What! Breakthrough in battle!?"
The audience was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Lightning Element on Kiko.
Inside a room where the VIPs are currently watching the match through a big monitor, shock expressions can be seen on their faces.
"This is one of the very rare cases of breakthrough," said Adam Praeter.
"You are right, Mr. Adam sir, "Jack agreed.
Behind them, Principal Mar Mari put the MTMD he was holding back into his pocket.
He has been feeling bad for a while now. It was as if something was bothering him. He had a bad feeling about Kiko\'s transformation. Kiko\'s change of appearance doesn\'t seem normal. Principal Mar was certain that it wasn\'t from any Shapeshifter Artefact.
In fact, he should have looked like a High-Ranked Beasts in case he used a Shapeshifter Artefact to change his form. But, Kiko\'s current appearance seems not from any high-ranked beast. So that means, it could be a new species or not a Shapeshifter Artefact.
But, the problem is, other than the Shapeshifter Artifacts, he couldn\'t remember any item that could transform a human form. He was about to contact the elders but stopped when Principal Mar Mari noticed that no one other than him had questioned the matter, and he had not received a message from the elders, so he put back his MTMD in his pocket.
He checked his MTMD several times in case the elders contacted him. They are the only ones who know better what is going on. But no, he received no message.
Now, something even more shocking has happened. Kiko suddenly made a breakthrough. To his knowledge, Kiko\'s element affinity is Fire, Water, and Wind. So the appearance of the Lightning element is without a doubt a breakthrough.
This is great. The academy will finally have a student with four elements! This is big news by any chance.
Earlier he was nervous when Kiko almost lost to student Y… Yman! That\'s right. If Yman had won earlier it could have caused a reverse-effect in this academy competition.
What he means by the reverse effect is that the already low prestige of the academy will further plummet because the non-elite are simply beating their Elite students.
The defeat of the two elite students from the Canine race will not have much of a bad effect on the academy because in fact, they are not legitimate students of the academy. They are exchange students only.
The prestige of the school would be even better because they were defeated by a legitimate student of the academy. But in case Kiko from the elite class is defeated by Yman, it will have a bad effect on the academy.
This is also the reason why he asked Miss Mora Liz to Hype Kiko. The real purpose of the competition is to promote the elite students of the academy.
He wasn\'t siding on Kiko. All he wanted was for the academy to rise in prestige. Because by chance, more investors and sponsors will come to offer partnerships with them. The city will definitely grow and as the city grows, the academy will definitely rise. It\'s that simple.
The emergence of the dungeon is the first step for many possibilities. Supposedly, this is the first step of Human City Zone 7 to rise.
If they want to advance the city as much as Human City Zone 2, they need proper management and good planning.
This is also the reason why Principal Mar Mari said that this Inside Competition can be compared to a double-edged sword.
Well, he can breathe easily now. Kiko only needs one attack and he will definitely win. If Kiko wins the match, there will be only three of them left. And since they all belong to the elite class, whoever wins is acceptable.
Principal Mar Mari smiled slightly when he saw the image of Kiko standing in the middle of the dilapidated stage. Orange electricity was crawling on his body. He could also hear the shouts of the spectators.
WarGod! WarGod! WarGod!
Almost everyone calls Kiko War God and no longer his Fire God competition listed name.
It added more smiles to his face. He also saw the VIPs around him. They all seem to be amazed at Kiko\'s breakthrough.
\'Hm, okay then. It looks like the academy will be having a great year,\' Principal Mar speculated.
Everyone is focused on what Kiko will do. They are excited about its new power.
"Please WarGod finish that Moneybag!"
One spectator could not restrain himself from shouting.
But, the old gambler who betted on Crimson seems to know him.
"Doro!"
The old man called.
Doro turned to the right of his back where he heard someone calling his name.
He was surprised at who he saw but his shock lasted only for a second. "Oldman! You\'re here too! Hahaha!" Doro said with a smirk at the old man.
"You scam!" The old man shouted. Doro was one of his former friends who cheated on him.
Doro just sneered at him. "Don\'t say you\'re here to bet too?" Doro suddenly asked. He didn\'t even pay attention to what the old man said.
"What now if I bet!" The old man replied in a loud voice.
"Heh!" Doro scoffed. "Atleast it looks like you\'re in luck. That WarGod looks strong, "said Doro. Doro believes the old man betted on the WarGod.
"I bet on the opponent!" The old man shouted in reply.
"....."
Doro was silent for a moment before laughing very loudly.
"Hahaha! You\'re really in bad luck, Oldman. I think you should blame your misfortune! Hahaha!" Doro said in mockery.
The old man just sighed and quietly returned to his seat. Well, if you look at the match, there seems to be no hope of winning.
Hah~
He let out a sluggish breath. Doro, on the other hand, could hardly stop laughing.
Kiko heard the screams of the people. They were calling him by the name he thought suited him best.
\'Okay.\'
\'Looks like I have to give what they are asking.\'
He looked at the person he hated. There was nothing he could do anymore. He looked like a chicken with one foot, waiting for someone to butcher him. Yman could only restore up to 30 percent of his health points even if he tried to use his Self-Healing ability a few more times. The effect of his skill seemed to have weakened due to the accumulated fatigue of his body. Kiko assessed.
Hehehe!
Kiko\'s mouth curved upward. Then his figure disappeared as if he had warped. Only the spark of Lightning was left in the air.
Lifting his sword upward, he looked straight at the enemy\'s widened eyes. Kiko felt his speed had increased again, maybe because of his breakthrough. He felt excited. With this breakthrough, no one can wish to defeat him!
Before he could strike the sword to finish his opponent, the opponent suddenly disappeared in front of him. He knew he used the Rapid Leap ability.
"It\'s futile!" Kiko muttered in the air. His figure disappeared as well. Then he overshadowed his opponent from behind.
"Now!" He screamed, at the same time, he swung his sword.
Sistela closed her eyes.
She knows this is it. She already did all she could.
<Sorry partner. That\'s all I have.> She whispered in dismay as she waited for her end.
At that moment, \'Let me,\' Sistela suddenly heard the familiar voice.
But,
"DIE!!!" Kiko shouted loudly as his sword struck the poor opponent.
Most of the spectators stood up. "The battle is finally over!" They shouted in unison.
But,
WOOSH ~
It seemed like a gust passed and suddenly everyone fell silent when the image of Crimson suddenly disappeared from his position. Only his shadow was hit by Kiko!
This was immediately followed by a strong impact.
BAM!
Kiko\'s huge body sprang up. It landed on the broken stage and bumped several times on the large rubbles of concrete floors that were scattered around.
"....."
Suddenly everyone fell silent as if they had swallowed their own tongues.
In their minds,
WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED!!?
