Chapter 1265: The Next Target
Ruth smiled as soon as she saw that her trick came in clutch!
‘I can’t beat him right now… but forcing his Talisman is enough.’
The battlefield had changed!
Johan was eliminated, and the remaining prodigies realized the Rune Artist had just altered the entire course of the Battle Royale.
For a moment, they were stunned, unsure how to continue the battle. But soon, they remembered that only one of them could bee the winner!
Soon, the crowd also realized the situation and celebrated! Their voices echoed across the arena.
“She forced his Talisman!”
“Unbelievable!”
“The Rune Artist did it!”
The Elementalist raised his staff and soon, his domain of ice and lightning activated once more!
It was an ability he could never cast without the help of his staff! This domain spell uses so much Elemental Energy after all.
“Let’s finish this now!”
The Alchemist smiled after seeing that ice. It wasn’t something that would scare her at all.
“Don’t think I’ll hold back. I’ll burn through everything if I have to.”
The Mystic Arts student pressed his palms together, and soon, Sacred Symbols glowed faintly around him.
“Sacred Chains will bind whoever stands in my way.”
Though he wasn’t an expert in Holy Arts, these chains should be able to help him win!
The Beast Arts practitioner, on the other hand, triggered the tattoo marks in his body… Soon, these marks released energy that gave him beastly strength.
“No more waiting. I’ll tear through anyone who blocks me.”
Ruth exhaled as she looked at the four intimidating students…
‘The Rune of Reversal is on cooldown. I can’t rely on it again. This will e down to timing… and endurance.’
Just like that, the battle resumed with a roar.
The Elementalist unleashed Tempest Fang… Shards of ice fused with bolts of lightning appeared.
Whoosh~
The storm tore across the arena, forcing Ruth to trigger her Barrier of Stone Rune.
Unfortunately, the barrier cracked under the assault but held long enough for her to dodge aside.
“Hey! Target the others too!” Ruth shouted in annoyance.
At this time, however, the Alchemist hurled a vial into the air.
It burst into a cloud of flame, igniting into Inferno Bloom!
In just a few moments, fire spread like petals, burning in every direction.
Ruth frowned as she realized that it could harm her… Without hesitation, she responded.
“Draconic Scale Rune,”
Just like that, golden scales appeared across her body to resist the heat.
At the same time, the Mystic Arts student raised his hands, summoning Sacred Chains of Binding!
The glowing chains shot forward, aiming to trap Ruth.
“Why me?!”
They really wanted to bring her down. She could only counter with Rune of Distortion, warping the trajectory so the chains missed by inches.
At the same time, the Beast Arts fighter charged with claws glowing with Beast Force.
Then, Ruth activated the Shield of Light Rune, and the claw met her radiant shield.
Bang!
The crowd gasped as they saw how Ruth was able to block or dodge all attacks!
“She’s holding against all of them!”
“How is she doing this?”
“They probably think that Ruth can forcefully activate their Talisman as well.”
“That’s true…”
Nonetheless, Ruth knew she couldn’t stay defensive forever.
‘If I keep blocking, I’ll run out of energy before they do. I need to bait them into overextending.’
The Elementalist pressed harder with his storm intensifying.
“Freeze and shatter!” He unleashed Glacial Thunder, a massive bolt of lightning encased in ice!
But Ruth ducked easily…
Although her Chrono Shift was about to end, she was still capable of turning this around!
Without hesitation, she used Rune of Reflection! Another rune with long cooldown!
Boom!
The bolt rebounded, striking his own domain!
This resulted in the cancellation of his Special State.
But the others didn’t care. The Alchemist saw the opening and charged.
She drank from her Catalyst flask and soon, her body ignited with Flame Veins, blue fire coursing through her arms.
She cast an Arcane Spell called Acid Burst, which then exploded near Ruth.
Ruth grimaced, her rune of dragon scales cracked under the dual assault.
‘I just need to be patient… I need to turn this around.’ She traced a glyph and activated Binding Rune, locking the Alchemist’s movements for a heartbeat.
Ruth then countered with Piercing Rune! It was a fast strike of radiant energy that shattered the flask.
Boom!
The Alchemist gasped as her flames sputtered out, and soon, even her energy was constantly drained. drained.
As Ruth wanted to cast another Spell, the Alchemist’s Talisman was mysteriously activated and pulled her from the arena.
“Alchemist eliminated!” the crowd shouted.
Finally, only the Three remained against Ruth.
The Mystic Arts student advanced!
“Sacred Chains, descend!” He summoned Chains of Judgment, thicker and brighter than before. They wrapped around Ruth’s arms!
It seemed that their Special State was also promised, and they were trying to end this as fast as they could!
As expected, even the Beast Arts fighter also charged him at the same time!
Ruth was seriously annoyed, but she couldn’t do anything about it but respond!
‘Now.’
She then triggered Gravity Rune, the chains and claws suddenly weighed down, dragging both opponents to the ground!
Thud! Thud!
With that, Ruth finally broke free, countering with Rune of Clarity…
The Beast fighter roared, breaking through the gravity field with sheer strength. He then slashed again, and it could not tear through Ruth’s Barrier of Stone Rune!
However, it didn’t take long before the Beast fighter’s special state failed!
As soon as the tattoo marks lost their power, he was swiftly targeted!
Thud!
“Beast Arts eliminated!”
Only three remained… Ruth, the Elementalist, and the Mystic Arts student.
The two exchanged a glance. “She’s too dangerous. Together!”
Once again, Ruth was the main target! Although it was annoying, she had to endure it!
The Elementalist unleashed Frozen Tempest, a blizzard of ice shards.
The Mystic Artist, however, reinforced it with Sacred Chains of Heaven.
Ruth could only grit her teeth.
‘They’re bining again…’
As she thought of this, she couldn’t help but release her Forbidden Rune!
Her Chrono Shift was also about to end, and it was now or never!
