The Greatest Sinner

Chapter 81 - Cold



"Zak, things are bad for Evan. I`m surprised he was able to corner Roland, but now he doesn\'t stand a chance." Marcel said seriously, looking at Roland\'s katana.

Zak frowned and nodded: "Unfortunately you\'re right. Not only did he enter the "Gust", but he also broke through one of his "Barriers", it\'s unbelievable. He made it look so easy, like it was all just because he wanted to get stronger."

"Anyway, Evan was more than worthy. I`ve never imagined he\'ll be able to make it this far. He was strong enough to give Roland himself so much trouble. Amazing guy you`ve found."

"Yes, I agree, considering he has only recently entered the path of magic, his results are incredible."

Zak and Marcel had a quiet conversation with each other. In their opinion, the fight was already over and the winner was clear. Roland had only a few more attacks to go and that would be the end of it.

They weren\'t the only ones who thought so. Gilbert smiled contentedly and looked at his son with pride. Even he did not expect something like this to happen. For Roland it was a real triumph and a step to the next stage.

<How arrogant Roland is. When I was young, everybody told me I was too arrogant, but compared to him I was the humblest man in the world>

Koen and Fane were not left out and also discussed the finale.

Koen calmly looked at the arena and slowly said: "Zak really found a talented guy, a little more and he could even win."

"What kind of nonsense are you talking..." Fane said quickly.

"А?". Koen didn\'t understand Fane\'s reaction, in his mind the battle was already over.

"You\'re great at judging people and their strength, Roland is indeed superior to Evan in terms of results, but..."

"But what?"

"Roland is absolutely serious and has already shown all his trump cards and more. As for Evan, he is enjoying the fight and this is just the first tipping point for him."

With a broad smile on his face, Fane pointed to the arena.

At that very moment, Evan quickly stood up and with a wide grin on his face said: "Well, you never cease to amaze me, now you can fight for glory!"

Click.

Evan pressed a button and in an instant, his spear turned into a scythe with a long, snow-white blade.

Roland was surprised by this development, in his memory Evan had never used this method.

"A scythe? And how are you going to fight with it?" Roland asked puzzled.

To him, as to all onlookers, the scythe was a very exotic kind of weapon. He was sure there was nothing Evan could do with such a weapon.

But, he quickly stopped thinking that way. When the scythe appeared in Evan\'s hands, his gaze turned icy and his aura changed dramatically.

He was wounded, but if he didn\'t pay much attention to the pain, he was quite capable of fighting. Roland was at the peak of his strength at the moment, but even now he could sense the impending danger from Evan.

Whoosh.

Evan sprinted toward his opponent with incredible speed. Roland swung his katana swiftly and several deadly drops flew toward Evan. He hoped to inflict a few more wounds on Evan, but his plan was not to come to fruition.

Whoosh.

Evan swung the "Reverse Death" in a flash and the snow-white blade sliced the drops in two. When Evan had held a spear in his hand, he couldn\'t have achieved such a result. Using the scythe was a sign of his phenomenal skill with this unusual weapon.

He quickly got to Roland and began delivering crushing blows to him. Evan swung his scythe at different angles and attacked Roland at unusual for him trajectories.

Roland had to use all his strength to block these strange blows. He could barely keep up with Evan\'s pressure and speed.

<What\'s wrong with this scythe? Why isn\'t it breaking?!> Roland thought to himself as he fought off another blow.

He didn\'t understand why Evan\'s weapon could calmly withstand the incredible pressure from his katana. The water coating of his weapon was compacted many times over, but it still wasn\'t enough to do Evan\'s scythe any harm at all.

It was all about the fact that the "Reverse Death" was made of very high quality materials, moreover the "Horn of the Sacred Deer" which was the blade of the scythe, was a very valuable material.

Roland was amazed by Evan\'s increased strength, but he had forgotten something - Evan had not yet used the "Ice Veil" on the scythe blade and there was a reason for that.

Whoosh.

Evan\'s hand gathered mana and a snow-white beam flew out toward Roland. The young men were very close to each other, so the "Magic Missile" reached Roland in an instant.

However, even that attack he managed to block. The beam simply dissipated due to the density of the water on the katana.

Whoosh.

The next moment Evan kicked Roland and tossed him aside. The blow landed on the young man\'s left arm and was powerful enough to do serious damage.

Roland frowned, suddenly Evan began to corner him. He decided to act in response.

Crack.

A white lightning bolt instantly appeared in his hand and flew toward Evan in the next second.

The young man didn\'t fight it off, he didn\'t have time for that.

Whoosh.

Evan bounced to the side and easily dodged the sparking lightning. There was a deafening explosion behind him. The next moment, everyone in the arena was in turmoil. Evan had done something no one could have expected.

Whoosh.

Dodging the lightning, Evan pulled a silver ring with a pale blue stone from his pocket. It was the Magical Artifact, he had taken for himself in the battle against Soren.

He was going to break every Artifact, but feeling the aura of cold from this ring, he decided to keep it and save it for the fight with Roland.

Whoosh.

The ring glowed brightly, and at the same moment Evan cast the "Ice Veil" once more. This time the spell would be incredibly powerful. It was on the first stage of "Awareness", had been altered through the "Transforming of Spells", and was now enhanced with a Magical Artifact as well.

Evan had used almost all the mana he had on this spell, but it was definitely worth it.

Crack.

Immediately after using the ring, Evan violently squeezed it and broke it into the pieces.

The crimson sprout of the "Bloody Perversity" instantly iced over and gradually transferred all of the ice to the white blade.

The ice was so cold that even in the arena, the temperature dropped noticeably, and the ground around Evan began to freeze. If that icy blade reached the flesh, it would instantly freeze through.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for Evan to attack Roland. The audience couldn\'t wait to see the frost scythe in action, but to their surprise Evan started doing some very strange things.

Instead of attacking Roland, he ran to the edge of the arena.
