Chapter 66 66 - D E M O N

"What the fuck is going on here?!"

Watching that boy's body burning in flames, Lyza felt a sensation she hadn't encountered in a long time. That woman's face changed in the same instant, she stopped feeling irritated by the duel, all the negative feelings she was having disappeared in the same instant. Now she was not feeling offended by that battle, in fact she was grateful.

"So you didn't come to this duel without a trick. Hunf... You're a smart boy, I won't go easy on you" She said, with a gentle smile on her face. Slamming both iron gloves together, she caused a metal sound to echo throughout the arena. It was a sharp and extremely loud noise. In the same instant, the aura of fire that had been protecting her disappeared.

Taking a deep breath, Lyza channeled all her energy and activated an SSS rank skill. The reason they called her the Flame Queen was precisely because of this skill, a unique power that few had witnessed.

"Flaming Hero Embodiment" she said, but before her skill could start the transformation, her opponent was already in front of her. With a single attack, Lyza was thrown to the other side of the arena, falling to her knees on the ground.

Her face was confused, she was extremely close to the line that marked the end. If Ryan pushed her, she would lose the duel in the same instant. Before he could move forward to finish the battle, the skill had finished charging.

Lyza's canopy began to glow with a white light. Several white and golden flames began to rise from outside her body, she was emitting an aura of light. The warrior's beautiful hair was now completely white, emitting an angelic beauty. The clothes she was wearing were glowing with the same golden aura that her hair was emitting.

The warrior's whole face had changed, it was hard to explain the sight. In the stands, some began to cry at this demonstration of power. It was as if this woman who looked like a mad wolf had been transformed into an angel of light and fire.

Then Ryan raised both hands. Moving his sword, he fired several attacks into the wind, as if he were counting an enemy in front of him. With each movement of the sword, an attack of dark flames was launched. The fire cut through the wind at high speed, until it reached Lyza.

She kept walking, receiving those attacks with her own body, it seemed that nothing was taking effect. Her body was sucking up that energy, turning it into more fuel and increasing the brightness it was emitting.

With his other hand, Ryan was channeling a strange magic. It was a completely dark sphere, with the appearance of being black ink, it was like a bubble that was filling up and growing in his hand.

"Hmm... So it's not working" He said. Ryan's voice was different, it was loaded with a kind of podere, just hearing his voice was enough to make some of the spectators feel choked up. The silence in the arena remained, as everyone watched the battle in confusion.

Then Ryan threw his sword aside, throwing it against the arena wall.

"Are you giving up this battle?" Lyza said, laughing.

Now with both hands free, Ryan began channeling two of those ink spheres. Connecting the two with his hand, he caused a larger sphere to appear. Then he launched that attack that within seconds collided with Lyza's body.

She couldn't dodge it, nor could she see it coming. Snapping his fingers, Ryan began to suck up the mana she was using. That sphere of black ink was actually just a simple sphere of water.

With the amount of demonic energy he was emitting, any attack he made was being enveloped with those evil flames. Water abilities have a specific quality, just as water is able to transmit electricity, it is also able to transmit mana.

What Ryan did was something quite simple, he simply took a sphere of water and using his 'Water Aura' skill caused Lyza's mana to flow from her body through the water to him.

"Hahaha! I guess you really watched my lessons. But that won't work against me" She said. Within seconds, her body began to burn with an even stronger energy, causing some of the water that was trapping her body to evaporate.

Then Lyza jumped towards Ryan. The two began to have a close confrontation, using their fists. With each punch, the arena shook with the dispersed energy, the vibration was so great that the people watching could feel the energy inside their own bodies.

The speed of the punches was very fast, even in slow motion, it was hard to recognize which of the two was having an advantage. Both Lyza and Ryan seemed unbothered by their opponent's attacks, it was as if this confrontation could be endless.

Channeling a little more of his energy, Ryan launched a punch towards Lyza's chin, causing her to fly upwards. The fear that some people in the audience were feeling caused his demonic energy to increase a little, it was an invigorating energy that increased his fighting power significantly.

Lyza was not shaken by this attack, in fact, she just became more motivated to duel. Using a burst of fire, she threw herself to the ground like a missile. She couldn't land the punch on Ryan, but she did cause the entire floor of the arena to be destroyed.

Liquid mana fragments began to fly everywhere in the arena, as Ryan and Lyza exchanged determined glances. Both were intent on ending that confrontation as quickly as possible.

"Nyx, come out" He said.

At the same instant, the shadow of a woman appeared beside him. She was also enveloped by the dark energy that protected him. That woman appeared to be very beautiful, but her face was covered by a white porcelain mask, that spirit seemed to be chained to Ryan, completely intertwined.

It then extended its right hand toward Lyza. That shadow then embraced Ryan, removing part of the mask, and the shadow kissed the boy's cheek. Then the shadow joined both hands together.

All the energy around Ryan's body disappeared. That energy was flowing into the hands of the boy, who was making a finger gun with his hands.

With a smile on his face, he said.

"bang"

A ray of energy surged at him. That ray was glowing with several different colors, while the center was white, around it, there was a kind of flow of green, blue, yellow, pink and red colors. The ray completely engulfed Lyza.

When it disappeared, Lyza was intact, without any injuries. But her feet had completely crossed the line of red squares that delimited the area of confrontation. She had been defeated.

At the top of the arena, a gigantic golden hologram appeared.
