Chapter 290: 290. Orion Barely Won

Orion smiled subtly when he saw Rudy's attack and continued with his own.

Their weapons collided with a thunderous crash, unleashing an unimaginable gale of wind that swept through the hall.

The force of the impact was so intense that even the most seasoned spectators and higher-level guild members felt the powerful wind tugging at their hair and causing their clothes to ripple wildly.

At that very moment, a figure was blasted away, hurtling toward the ground at an incredible speed. The crowd watched in shock, their breaths held as the figure plummeted downward.

But just as it seemed that the impact was inevitable, Nathan moved with lightning-fast reflexes. In the last possible moment, he caught the figure, halting its uncontrollable descent and preventing a catastrophic collision with the ground.

"It's you?" Nathan was surprised to see who the figure was—it was none other than Rudy. At this moment, Rudy had already returned to his normal human form and no longer looked like a monster.

Nathan then turned his head upward and saw a figure slowly descending toward the ground. It was Orion. He was breathing heavily and looked somewhat out of shape, but overall, he was fine.

"Ray Wiser wins."

As shocking as the revelation was, Nathan announced the winner of the battle.

Everyone present in the hall was astonished by Orion's control over the wind. The sheer precision and mastery he exhibited left a lasting impression on all who witnessed the battle. It became evident that while Rudy was undoubtedly strong, it was Orion's unparalleled control over the wind that gave him the decisive edge.

Throughout the clash, it was clear that Orion wasn't just relying on raw power or speed. Instead, he had turned the very air around him into a weapon, manipulating the wind with such finesse that Rudy's formidable attacks were rendered ineffective. Every gust, every breeze was under Orion's command, allowing him to dictate the flow of the battle and outmaneuver Rudy at every turn.

The spectators, many of whom were seasoned fighters and guild members, couldn't help but marvel at Orion's technique. They had seen powerful warriors before, but Orion's ability to wield the wind as if it were an extension of his own will was something rare, a skill that set him apart from others.

It was this control, this deep understanding of his element, that ultimately led to his victory and left the audience in awe of his capabilities.

"Heh, he indeed created a miracle," Reilly commented, surprised that Orion won. Even though he had said Orion might create a miracle, he hadn't been confident in Orion at all.

"A battle of luck, I would say. Orion could control wind, and Rudy became somewhat weak in the wind since all his attacks are somewhat related to wind," Kiara said.

"It is indeed a matter of luck, but a win is a win," Shuna smiled.

Only Josh remained silent. He had predicted and even said outright that Orion would lose, but he was proven wrong.

On the other side, the higher-level members of the guild didn't seem surprised at all. For them, battles at the gold rank level no longer interested them. It might also be because they weren't familiar with all the juniors in the guild, so they assumed some geniuses were hiding their strength.

Erza, standing among them, felt surprised. She knew Orion the best in the guild and understood that he had been using his full strength all this time. The strength he displayed just now might not even be his true strength. He may very well have held back, and she felt she had guessed right.

At that moment, another participant stepped forward—a female, one of the aloof and arrogant girls who had walked into the hall with Reilly. Putting her hands down, she took out a parchment and opened it.

"Josh Little."

"Heh," Josh smirked when he heard his name called and headed forward.

"I guess it's your bad luck, Ravina," he sneered at Ravina, who had chosen him as her opponent.

Ravina looked at Josh for a moment and sighed. "I admit defeat."

"Huh," Josh was taken aback by her sudden announcement.

Others were also surprised, but they understood. Ravina could never beat Josh. It wasn't an exaggeration; it was a fact known throughout the Starfire Guild. Although Josh wasn't at Reilly's level, he was up there with the other geniuses of Masturi City.

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked for confirmation.

Ravina nodded. "I am sure."

"Ravina admits defeat. Josh wins," Nathan announced the result.

Josh headed back with a smile and looked at Shuna, Kiara, Patrick, and the last boy who was deep in thought. "You four just go and fight fast."

"I'm going then," Shuna said, immediately heading toward Erza.

"Do your best," Orion said to her.

"I will," Shuna replied and put her hand into the bowl when she arrived, drawing out a piece of paper.

Opening it, she was surprised to see the name. "Kiara Kally."

"Ah, she's my opponent," Kiara was also surprised.

"It will be a difficult battle for you, Kiara," Josh commented from the side.

Kiara understood what Josh meant, ignored him, and headed forward.

"You're unlucky, Kiara," Shuna said with pity.

"It is what it is. Let's fight," Kiara sighed and prepared for the battle.

"Start!" Nathan announced.

As soon as Nathan announced the start of the battle, Kiara sprang into action. Waves of water appeared around her feet, propelling her toward Shuna with incredible speed, like a surfer riding a powerful tide.

A massive wave of water surged behind her, and as she closed the distance, she shot tens of water arrows at Shuna, each arrow whistling through the air with lethal precision.

Shuna, noticing Kiara's rapid approach, remained calm. A white mist began to emanate from her body, spreading out and filling the hall with an eerie chill.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the air became so cold that the spectators could see their own breath, forming small clouds of condensation.

With a graceful wave of her hands, Shuna conjured a shield of solid ice, placing it in front of her. The water arrows fired by Kiara collided with the ice shield one by one, each impact creating a muffled thud before the arrows disappeared, absorbed by the unyielding barrier.

At that moment, Kiara surged forward with a massive wave of water towering behind her, ready to crash down upon Shuna. With a swift motion, she directed the wave toward her opponent, intending to overwhelm Shuna with sheer force.
