The Mysterious Black Magician

"Dammit! Dammit, that healing ability!" Kiko curses.

He just remembered that Yman could heal himself. The self-healing ability! Damn that ability! Without it, he would have won already!

"Hehehe!"

Kiko's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard Yman's chuckle. His kind of chuckle seemed to be mixed with contempt. Kiko took this as a huge insult to him. He noticed that Yman was looking at him while slightly raising his right arm in the air. He also noticed his lips curved upwards.

"What the f*ck!"

Laugh? Is this bastard really laughing and taunting him? Kiko asked himself in a furious tone.

"What are you laughing at, huh?! You're crazy?!" Kiko asked with a twitch of brow as a cross-shaped pulse appeared on his forehead. Did Yman think he could belittle his attacks?! Naive. Haha. Kiko chuckled slightly.

However, instead of answering his question, Yman also chuckled. "Hehe…" then he said, "Is that all you can do, Mr. Fire God sir?" It sounded so provocative. "I wasn't even hurt by that attack. Hehe. Weak. It's just too weak," Yman said in a tone of dismay. At the same time, he was shaking his head. 

"What!? Shameless!" Kiko's expression turned bitter the moment he heard it. The onlookers started murmuring as well.

Kiko Sun's attack is weak?! The so-called Fire God is weak? Is it really weak? But, if you look closely, they can't really blame Crimson if he says that because there's really no damage to him!

In a flash, the wounds and injuries that had recently been seen all over his body disappeared as if everything was just an illusion. No one could contradict him as if their tongues were receding. If Kiko was that strong, Crimson would have already been defeated by now. Right, it should have been.

But, is it really just that?! Some others question in their minds.

"Woah! Big bro!" Yana suddenly brightened up when she saw that her brother was fine.

"I know it…" Rea whispered. But, she seems to have noticed something strange about Crimson. It seemed he was intentionally provoking his enemy. Perhaps to buy time. But why? Only Rea realized this.

Bob and Chloe sighed when they saw that Yman was okay. They thought the fight was over.

"Bro! Don't scare us like that!" Bob shouted.

"Woohoo! You can do that Mr. Crimson!" Not far away, the old man who betted him shouted. The old man thought it was the end of his last money. Fortunately, this Crimson has some reliable abilities!

"Fufu. It's surprising, "Jami couldn't help but chuckle.

"He really has a lot of surprises," Dianne followed up.

"Do you think this is the reason why Miss Almina is so infatuated with him?" Maku suddenly asked from out of nowhere. The two looked at her and chuckled at the same time. For some reason, their conversation about them sounded repetitive.

"Hehe! Maybe," they replied together.

The hatred on Kiko's face could not be hidden. "Don't be haughty or you'll just regret it!" He shouted loudly whilst creating several fireballs.

At this moment Kiko's eyes could be seen gleaming. His big grin also returned to his lips, especially when he noticed that Yman's health points in the monitor were at 70%. It only meant that he wasn't in his top condition. He wasn't able to completely heal his injury.

'If Yman thought he was out of danger, that is where he was mistaken. I'm not even serious about that attack. Hehe. Okay. Celebrate all you want like a fool because next time I attack I'll make sure you get powdered!' Kiko's face suddenly zoomed in on the monitor. Looking at his expression, as if he had a secret plan. 

"Let's see now how much you can laugh!"

While saying this, Kiko buried the tip of his weapon on top of the stage. Then, Kiko spread his arms open.

"Now take this!"

The fireballs spiraled towards Yman at the same time. Once reaching him, a series of explosions bloomed on the stage.

Boom boom boom!

But Yman remained standing in the middle of that explosion with his hand pointing in front. Looking at him, everyone noticed that he wasn't using his so-called canceller ability, but instead, he was reinforcing his body with multiple layers of [Mana Coating] ability.

Of course, Yman was still hit and received damage that also reflected on his health bars. However, even before his health points exceed 50%, he uses the healing ability. So his condition does not get worse.

"If this continues. It just depends on which of them has more mana. But since Kiko is from the Elite Class, there is no doubt that he has more mana compared to Crimson. However, in the course of the match, it seems Kiko is releasing more mana compared to his opponent who only uses healing ability," Adam Praeter suddenly commented.

It was common knowledge that healing abilities demanded less mana consumption.

"Besides that sir Adam, Crimson's healing ability looks like self-healing ability," Sunday pointed out.

"Hm ..." Adam suddenly thought and narrowed his eyes as he looked with discerning eyes at Crimson while rubbing his chin. He sees that Crimson's body barely glows white every time he uses the healing ability. After a while, "You're right. His healing ability is a Self-healing ability. In that case, it saves more mana. But, it can never fully heal his injuries."

No wonder he notices that it can only restore up to 70 percent of the health points displayed on the monitor.

Even though his attack seemed to have no effect, the big grin on Kiko's face didn't leave his face. He kept raining fireballs on Yman.

"Hm... The ability that Kiko used no doubt requires a lot of mana. However, since Crimson uses two kinds of abilities at the same time, it's also hard to say that he has the advantage in mana consumption, especially when taking into account their mana capacity. Kiko is no doubt on the False Path stage. And Crimson… wait! How was he able to defend himself from the attack of someone like Kiko?" It was only then that Adam noticed the huge gap in the level of the two.

"Eh?" Sunday and Jack looked around at Adam Praeter and the young man Crimson. They noticed that the mana that Crimson released wasn't as condensed as Kiko's mana. It just means he is not yet on the False Path. They finally realized that something was amiss.

This battle has a huge level gap!

The others also noticed. Most viewers began to wonder. What is this phenomenon? How come he hasn't lost yet when the gap between the two of them is so big. Maybe it's true that Mr. Fire God is really weak.

Kiko twitches his brow. He didn't like what was heard from the audience. It can't go on like this! He needed to do something!

"Huah!" Kiko screamed. All the fireballs suddenly disappeared as if they were just an illusion. From Kiko's mouth, it could be seen that there was steam coming out.

He glared at Yman before clasping his hands and shouting, "Explode!"

Boom!

A loud explosion followed. The explosion happened right where Yman was standing. Everyone's eyes widened and fell silent.

The invisible barrier was shaken hard and soon it cracked. The force of the explosion was beyond the reach of the invisible barrier.

"Friends! What our two finalists did was amazing. However, the strength of our participant Mr. Fire God is undeniable. A huge explosion shook the stage. Even the invisible barrier did not survive. I think the fireballs he fired earlier were just to hide his true purpose. He secretly planted his invisible bombs around while Mr. Crimson was busy defending himself from fireballs. An impressive and cunning move was displayed by Mr. Fire God!"

Because of Miss Mora Liz's comment, everyone's attention returned to the fight. She received a message from principal Mar Mari. She needed to hype the audiences so they forget the big hole in this competition.

"As you can see. Mr. Crimson was lying on top of the stage. There were visible major injuries to his body. With the force of that explosion, it was a miracle that his body was still intact. But, I don't think Crimson can still fight!" Right after saying it, 

"Wha—!"

Mora Liz suddenly stopped announcing when she saw Crimson trying to stand up. If you look at his condition, it seemed like a miracle that he was still conscious. But, how come? How was he still able to stand even with the degree of his injury? Crimson's right hand was lost while many parts of his body were injured. Mora Liz and most of the onlookers could hardly believe that Crimson was still able to stand up in that condition.

But, even if he is still standing… Can he still fight? Maybe he'd better just give up. For Mora Liz, it would be better for Crimson to just give up because he would only suffer if the fight continued. The gap in their level was just too big. There's no way he could win against the Fire God. Honestly, Crimson was just prolonging his suffering.

However, her eyes widened when Crimson's body suddenly lit up and his wounds healed again. Even the lost arm came back as well.

"What kind of person is he!?" She could not restrain herself from questioning. Honestly, almost all viewers could not believe what happened. Crimson stood up again as if nothing had happened. There was even a smile on his face.

"Impossible!" Kiko murmured.
