Chapter 439: VS Flying Leaves (7)

"I told you, didn't I?" Alvin spoke up with a grin. "There is no reason to fear an attack that can't touch me."

Sara frowned. She immediately jumped back and her figure faded in the air, once more hiding herself to perform another attack.

But before she could disappear completely, Alvin waved his hand, casting a spell.

"[Force Spear]!"

Together with his words, several multicolored spears appeared in the air, flying towards Sara's direction.

Sara hurriedly evaded them as her figure faded out again, but Alvin was unfazed.

If he could not perceive Sara's location, he just needed to attack everywhere.

Grinning, he raised his hand, and several magic circles appeared all around him.

[Force Arrow].

It was a low-grade spell that any mage should be able to cast. However, the number of magic circles he cast was immense.

Then, he swung his hand down.

In the next second, the multicolored arrows rained on the stage.

Sara's expression changed. She tried to evade as many arrows as she could, but it was impossible to avoid them all.

In the end, she was forced to block a few of the arrows.

But that unavoidably ended revealing her location.

"Found you." Alvin's eyes glinted. Then, a magic circle appeared above Sara.

The next instant, a giant multicolored barrier appeared above Sara and descended at great speed to crush her!

Sara's expression changed.

She kicked the ground strongly to jump away from the spell, but the barrier was descending too fast!

In the end, she could only grit her teeth and fill her daggers with mana. Then, she used them to defend against the attack.

*Bam!*

A cloud of dust was raised on the stage when the multicolored wall fell.

Sara hurriedly jumped out of the cloud of dust, avoiding several force arrows coming towards her. But her situation was not good.

"Sister!" Gina shouted worried, and Bloed furrowed his brows.

Although Sara did not have any external injury, she was bleeding from her mouth and nose. Obviously, defending against the previous attack had taken a load on her.

Her situation did not look good.

However, Sara's expression remained indifferent despite that. Before her enemy could start a new round of attacks, her figure faded out again.

"Again the same trick?" Alvin asked with a sigh. "Miss Sara, my club has studied your previous battles, and we discovered that although your ability to disappear is very impressive, it has several weaknesses.

"Firstly, your attack power is nothing impressive. It's just average. Of course, it's more than enough when you catch someone by surprise, but if your enemy is prepared for you, then it becomes a disadvantage. I just need to cast a barrier and it will be enough to stop you."

Alvin's barrier flickered briefly while he was talking. At some point, Sara had appeared behind him, attacking his nape.

But just like last time, the barrier stopped her attack easily, forcing her to jump back and disappear again.

"It's useless." Alvin smiled and he waved his hand, creating several new magic circles.

It was the same magic as last time.

[Force Arrow].

Once more, the arrows rained on the stage, forcing Sara to reveal herself.

Capitalizing on that opportunity, Alvin created several barriers that flew towards Sara, slamming her away and making her spat out another mouthful of blood!

With a grave expression, Sara did her best to defend against the barriers while she disappeared again to attempt another attack.

But just like Alvin said, it was useless.

"You are unlucky, Miss Sara. I'm a mage specialized in barriers, moreover, my cultivation is two small ranks higher than you. You can say that I'm your nemesis. Since the moment when it was decided that I would be your opponent, you were destined to lose."

Sara ignored Alvin's words. She just continued attacking him stubbornly, only to be stopped again and again and then receive Alvin's counterattack.

Once and again, and again, and again. Every time, Sara failed to break through Alvin's defenses, and in exchange, she received more and more injuries.

Fortunately, Alvin's magic did not seem very suited to attack, and Sara was doing a great job at avoiding and defending against most of it, so her injuries were minor. But despite that, these minor injuries were accumulating, burdening her body greatly.

At this rate, she would lose soon.

After five minutes of battle, Alvin finally shook his head.

"It looks like it's all you can do. I think I should finish this battle already."

With a sigh, he once waved his hand.

Once more, magic circles appeared around him, the prelude to releasing magic arrows.

But this time, the magic circles were twice as numerous as before.

Moreover, judging by the amount of mana he was gathering, he was getting ready to release a powerful spell after that.

Just like he said, he was planning to end the battle with this attack.

"Sister…" Outside the stage, Gina muttered worriedly. Right now, she could only pray that her sister gets out of the battle unscathed.

At the same time, Bloed frowned. He looked at the stage intently, waiting for the resolution of this battle.

"Let's end this," Alvin said, and his spell was released.

Immediately, hundreds of arrows rained towards the stage.

Every individual arrow did not have much power, but the number of arrows was so great that even an A-Rank like Sara would have trouble defending against every one of them!

In the next second, the arrows hit the ground.

But then, Alvin's expression changed.

'Where is her!?'

Sara had not been revealed!

Before he could understand what was happening, a huge sense of danger enveloped him.

All of sudden, Sara appeared above him, swinging a dagger down!

At the last second, she had put strength in her legs and jumped as high as she could, thus avoiding the arrows. And now, she was using the impulse of her fall to attack Alvin.

Moreover, she had put as much mana as she could in her dagger!

It was the strongest attack that Sara could unleash!

As soon as the dagger touched the multicolored barrier, the barrier cracked!

Alvin's face turned pale. Before his eyes, he saw Sara's dagger piercing through the barrier and descending towards him.

The dagger was so fast and sharp that Alvin felt as though he was about to die!

In just a move, Sara had reversed the situation completely.

But then–

"ARGH!"

With a cry of panic, mana burst out of Alvin's body, creating a powerful shockwave with him as the center.

The powerful shockwave hit Sara's head-on, slamming her away!

Fortunately, the shockwave was not enough to hurt her, but it stopped her attack.

Sara's expression changed.
