Chapter 074: A Rollercoaster of an Ending
“Can’t hold on anymore? Just give up, save yourself the injury.”
On the stage, Bies looked at Colin’s stubborn resistance, his face full of confidence in his victory. “You can’t beat me.”
“Your sister! If I lose to you, I’m your grandson!”
As Chen Ran had expected, seeing Bies’s arrogant expression, the enraged Colin would not compromise easily. He directly activated the Magic Berserk Potion in his body.
Regarding this potion, Chen Ran personally felt that it was a bit risky. Although it could increase a person’s explosive power in a short period of time and greatly stimulate their potential, under normal circumstances, it would be fine, at most a few days of suffering. But if one were to force it, some small problems might occur…
However, as a priest, even if there was a problem, he could control it. Looking at the situation on the field, Chen Ran still believed that Colin could win.
On the field, the potential of the berserk potion was continuously stimulated. Colin’s aura grew wildly in an unprecedented way. The dense white lightning on his body gradually turned purple and was still growing in an unstable, overloaded state. His eyes gradually became lost in a berserk, crimson glow.
The thunderbird formed by Colin’s magic power grew larger and larger. At the last critical moment, it finally blocked the fire dragon’s attack and began to counterattack. This brilliant counterattack drew cheers from the students in the stands.
Besides the main attacking thunderbird, a large number of lightning snakes roamed the air. After his magic perception and magic power were enhanced, Colin’s control over the power of lightning instantly improved a lot. The sky was filled with the light of lightning, engulfing the flames.
On the other side, Bies also felt the increase in Colin’s power. He felt a wave of pressure. His opponent was attacking him with an unprecedented frenzy. This kind of attack was something he had never experienced in his several previous exchanges with Colin. He was actually a little overwhelmed and on the defensive.
The judges in the stands were also amazed. The two students, who were originally only Tier 4, were now displaying the attainments that a Tier 5 mage could achieve, and they were infinitely close to the power of a Tier 6. One had to know that the highest-ranking tutors in Xilan Academy were only of the sixth tier, and most of them were over forty years old…
With waves of lightning snake critical strikes, Bies’s fire dragon was devoured by Colin until it was in tatters. The situation began to be reversed again, and it was Bies’s turn to have a headache. He looked at the absolutely berserk Colin in the midst of the lightning, gritted his teeth, and still did not give up the final struggle.
“You want to beat me just like that? Dream on!”
Everyone had their own dignity. Faced with unprecedented pressure, Bies gritted his teeth, a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Chen Ran, who had been observing the situation on the field, was surprised. In that instant, Bies’s power had truly sublimated. He had actually broken through the limits of the fourth tier at this moment and reached the strength of a Tier 5 mage. And with the enhancement of the potion in his body, that power was unexpectedly strong. But in this way, Colin’s situation became a little troublesome.
The fire dragon roared again. The tattered parts were instantly repaired, and it faced the already crazy thunderbird again, as if it had been reborn. For a moment, the two were in a standoff. The power on both sides began to increase wildly at the same time. The powerful magic aura dazzled the entire hall. Perhaps everyone had already guessed that the next blow would decide the outcome…
“Flame Dragon’s Roar!”
“Hellish Lightning!”
Two powerful, indiscriminate magic spells erupted at the same time. A fire dragon descending from the sky and a destructive lightning bolt blasting from the ground collided. The entire space instantly evolved into a world of fire and lightning, engulfing the two figures…
The powerful momentum directly shattered the ground of the competition ring. Even the defensive barrier began to shake at the same time, a violent tremor, as if it could shatter at any moment, which showed the intensity inside.
But in just a breath’s time, the ring had calmed down. Everyone nervously looked at the situation on the field. In the ashes, a standing figure was faintly visible. That should be the winner…
When everyone saw clearly who was standing, sighs mixed with celebratory sounds. They were looking at Bies, who was the last one standing.
Chen Ran sighed deeply.
This thing called fate was really not so easy to fathom. He had never expected that Bies would miraculously advance in rank at the last moment and complete the final counterattack.
Sometimes, fate was just that magical.
Just as everyone thought that Bies would win this time, the figure that was barely standing was swaying. He spat out a mouthful of blood and, without taking a step, fell to the ground.
The field was silent again.
Was this a draw?
Or perhaps, Colin had fallen faster, so the result of the match should still be Bies…
Wait, someone got up!
Unexpectedly, Colin stood up at this critical moment.
At this moment, Colin seemed a little strange. His body was covered in lightning, in a state of overload. The air was filled with free-roaming electric ions. Perhaps because of the berserk potion, Colin’s consciousness was not clear. A purple lightning divine light flashed in his eyes, which actually made people feel a sense of awe, but…
The lightning flashed wildly. In the air, lightning snakes that seemed to have life were generated from the ionization. Those generated lightning snakes began to dance wildly as if they had consciousness. Then, the lightning snakes seemed to have found a target and all looked at the fallen Bies…
“Quick, stop Colin! He’s gone berserk!” Chen Ran couldn’t help but exclaim.
The reason the berserk potion had such a name was precisely because of its uncontrollability. Especially after a full-powered berserk, one would almost not recognize their own family. Chen Ran had originally thought that Colin could easily deal with Bies, but he had not expected Bies to complete the transformation of a Tier 5 mage, which had caused the victory-seeking Colin to fall into an absolute berserk. If he was not stopped, the guy on the ground might be in mortal danger.
Many of the nearby tutors also realized Colin’s problem. After being reminded by Chen Ran, they quickly removed the protective barrier. Several magic tutors went on stage at the same time. First, a Tier 5 earth-element mage set up an earth wall in front of Bies, blocking the terrifying round of lightning snakes, but it was almost broken by their powerful defense.
Several high-level mages also went forward to eliminate the lightning snakes in the air, but those things, which were like living beings, were exceptionally agile, making the tutors look very pathetic. It was only after a few minutes, when the effect of the berserk potion in Colin’s body seemed to have ended, that he finally calmed down and fell to the ground again.
Chen Ran was the first to rush onto the stage, run to Colin, and help him up.
Looking at the convulsing Colin, Chen Ran poured a bottle of calming potion that he had prepared in advance into Colin’s mouth and made him drink it. He himself was zapped a few times by the residual lightning on Colin’s body, and felt a numbness.
Seeing that Colin’s breathing was gradually calming down, as if he had fallen asleep, Chen Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the berserk potion really couldn’t be drunk casually.
Inadvertently, he lowered his head.
On Colin’s hand, at some point, a purple, tattoo-like streak had appeared…
