"Puch!" My firebolt traveled through his shoulder and bore a small hole through it.

If one can put an eye on the hole of his shoulder, he can definitely see the other end.

These fire bolts are special compared to other skill, not only they could pierce through the body but they also incinerate the path they had traveled, so it will make healing difficult in the short amount of time.

''Ahhh Fuck!" He cursed in pain as he stopped while I drink the potion and use sky steps to make another small jump.

He saw me upped air and looked at me angrily and flexing of his muscle, I could see he is using needle machine to supply him of mana.

This was the perfect strike if I had gone with my usual style countered his earlier attack by force, there would have been no use.

I would have been pushed back in a show of force and both of use launched another attack each other like mad full without getting a result.

"Fire strike!" I attack again while the air, this time while feeling pain, he had activated his defense type skill and shield.

"Ping ping ping!" "Thud!" My three bolts of fire started by him but they gave me enough time to land perfectly on the ground.

He looked at me with his red eyes as his ax could be seen covered in fire.

Next moment he swung his sword at me and ten something fireballs came at me.

His hand movement seemed little shaky but not shaky enough to affect his skill majority if I able to pierce few more of firebolt in his body, only then would I able to affect him majorly.

These fireballs are deep yellow with a tinge of violet in them, they are not common fireballs but knight grade skill.

I have seen their clip before, they looked like normal fireball but they had similar sticky property as finely lions power.

Their act like tar, once they touched your skin, they will stick and only diffuse when they used all their power.

One should always stay away from such skill.

He is quite good, he had launched fireball such way that I will not able to avoid them by jumping.

He must not have read my profile or watch my previous matches or he did not have made such a silly mistake.

M previous opponent was smarter than him, even though they lost to me.

"Furfur fur fur fur.…." just as he launched his fireballs, I lit up all five jets behind and moved sideways with my instant movements.

I had already watched his matched and knew all about his skills.

These fireballs are very dangerous but they had a small flaw which is their speed.

As long as one has foretold knowledge of his skill and speed that matches to knight grade skill, one could avoid these fireballs.

"Fire strike!" I attacked again with my skill while avoiding his attacks.

Three small bolts of fire had traveled through my sword, attacking toward the different parts of his body.

When I was reading information about him, one used kindly noted that when he used his knight grade skill, he turned off skill defensive skill.

I don't he do that to deceive his opponent or he had only able to use one skill due to mana limit.

I didn't see him activating his defense style skill, he only activated his knight grade shield only.

I turned very happy seeing that, with no defensive skill, he will only able to thwart only two of my firebolts while one will definitely hit him.

As three firebolts going toward his head, stomach, and leg and he can only defend against two without activating his defense type skill.

He also knew why his expression more ugly and he seemed to be a dilemma.

I suddenly saw him change his expression, as he gritted his teeth and the size of his shield started to expand.

Before my firebolts go near him, the shield expanded to the size of his body, he is now protected against any attack, I launched against him.

IDIOT! really he is an idiot, full expansion of shield is only used against monsters or idiot human.

Thin Irvin had maximized his shield against the attack of his sixth opponent to which he won.

He won because his opponent is an idiot but not me.

Seeing this fully expanded shield, I turn to take a healthy gulp of potion smiling widely.

As I've said, one can use a fully expanded shield either against monster or idiots opponent because fully expanded knight grade shield used a shit load of mana.

Normally knight grade artifact use way less mana that Grade 1 artifact but that change when one uses them at their limit.

Like this shield which he expanded to his limit, it takes a shit load of mana.

Taking huge mana is not much problem but losing edge is.

He had lost his edge in his battle against mine, as using that giant size shield, he can not use any other knight grade skill due to its huge mana expenditure to used knight grade skill, he had to deactivate his shield first and then activate any other skill.

This deactivating and activating will give me enough time to launch a lethal attack.

"ping ping ping!" Three of my firebolts had collided against the shield, protecting my opponent behind him.

After a second of attack, he did not deactivate the shield, he also seemed to understand that he made a really bad choice and now he is probably thinking of the way to get of this precarious condition.

It would have taken me more than half an hour to defeat him normally but now because of this shield fiasco, I am confident to finished this fight in a maximum of two minutes.

If he did not have life potion or similar type of potion which take the minimum to none time to digest them his mana potion would able to keep that shield activate for thirty-second max as normal potions take minimum thirty seconds to digest and won't able to support mana expenditure of mana.

I already took a big gulp of mana, just as I saw him activating a shield to the maximum.

Now I have enough mana inside my body to support at least three attacks of my knight grade shield.

As the second passed by, I can feel gazes more and more audience on my back.

They are like me expecting to shield go down.

Five seconds passed but he did not bring down the shield.

I could hear many in the audience shouting at me to attack from a different direction but I shook my head internally saying no.

It would be useless to do that as he is easily able to change his direction to counter my attack, the best course of action is to wait for the shield to go down.

Another seven seconds passed and I thought he would take few more second before bringing down shield but he brought down the shield.

"Fire strike! Fire strike!" seeing the child is coming down, without waiting, I attacked with Two fire strike, releasing six bolts at the same spot.

I launched six mana bolt in the same direction because the defense of his mask which is stronger than that of armor.

This six bolts will not able to pieces is the helmet but it will give his heady shock heavy enough to make him disoriented for a second, there even 50% chance of making him unconscious on spot.

His eyes went wide seeing six both of fire coming at me but he was powerless to do much.

I can see his defense skill is activating but my firebolts will crash against his mast before, the defensive skill is any use.

"Furfur fur fur…." I lighten all jets behind my back and my sword with fire and followed behind the bolts.

"Ping ping ping ping..…" six bolts of fire crashed against his helmet one after another, not giving him any chance to defend.

The defensive skill which about to fully cover his body stopped short before flickering away.

I soon arrived before him when he was waking from the shock he just received and the first thing he saw is a big flaming sword about to collide against his head.

His eyes went wide seeing that but he could not do anything to stop it as my sword hit his head making a sound of Bam

"Bammmmm!"
