Chapter 348 - The Avatar Reigned Supreme.
''Wraith!'' Darth shouted. He and Queen Diana tried to attract Isaac's attention.
Crash!
The Avatar's enormous sword broke the ground and sent a wave of dust at Isaac's retreating figure.
Isaac's white hair fluttered behind him as he leaped forward and sent a storm of icy bullets toward the Avatar.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Creak!
A dense layer of ice began forming in the Avatar's armor. His legs became stiff, and he could feel his bones becoming frozen.
''Rah!'' He changed his grip on the sword and struck the ice with the blunt side of the blade.
Crack…
The ice began slowly shrinking away. However, Isaac had already begun bolting toward the open door. There was a mix of sounds entering his ear. The sound of ice breaking and the shouting of the players.
Behind Black Arrow members, the pale-looking players pointed at the Avatar, who managed to break the ice and was already running toward the white-haired youth. They tried to convince King Jonathan to close the door because they weren't confident that the invisible wall could hold the Avatar back!
''Haahhh…'' Isaac glanced at his frosty fingers and knew that his body won't be able to handle more icy shots. But, the Marksman of Space was still on the cooldown, and nothing else could help him in this dire situation.
Thud!
The Avatar's enormous foot landed only several meters away from him. It was a do-or-die situation, and Isaac had to make his decision.
The Avatar raised his sword overhead. His hazy yet rageful eyes forced the looks of hope away from the player's faces.
The sword began slowly falling like a fiery meteor.
Isaac's eyes lingered in the direction of the open door. It was only short ten meters away, but that distance was impossible to be crossed. His hair stands stood in the end as he felt the breeze of wind grazing past his neck.
Ding! Ding!
[White Death Deactivated!]
'I…' The message he never wanted to see appeared. He already felt the focus seeping away from his body long ago. It was only a matter of time before the White Death was deactivated, and it happened at the worst possible time.
Isaac's feet became heavier, and his HP bar flickered with red. Only a mere 1 HP was shown in the bar, and he would die just from scratch.
The Avatar had already extended his arms forward. The large blade was only meters away from slicing the white-haired youth in half.
''Haaahhh…'' A puff of cold air left Isaac's lungs, which was the last thing he saw before everything went dark. At least, in his vision, everything was dark.
''?!'' The Avatar halted his attack and felt a breeze of cold air running past him. He slowly moved the sword out of the way to get at a closer look at the white-haired youth.
''Eh?'' King Jonathan took a step back and felt a cold like never before. Same with everyone else. It didn't matter whether one was a Black Arrow or Golden Crown member. Everyone stepped away from the invisible wall.
Suddenly, the invisible wall began freezing. The dense layer of ice blocked the man-sized hole and blocked everyone's sight of the hall.
''Wraith!'' Darth screamed out after not seeing the white-haired youth anywhere. He realized that Isaac was still in the hall, completely trapped!
…
Inside the hall.
The Avatar rested his sword on his shoulder and asked, ''Who the hell are you?''
''Haahhh…'' The white-haired youth let out another puff of cold air. His closed eyes began slowly opening. The gray eyes were as same as previously. However, the pupils had a snowflake pattern!
[White Death Activated!]
The Avatar felt like something was wrong with the human boy. He couldn't tell what it was, but he felt goosebumps running through his body.
''Well… Doesn't matter.'' He raised his sword and chopped it down!
BAM!
The sword destroyed the ground, and he thought that the white-haired youth had died.
However, then he felt something on his shoulder. The Avatar slowly turned to look at his right shoulder and widened his eyes in shock!
A white-haired youth was sitting right on top of his shoulder. However, his hair was slowly turning into ice!
''W-What!'' He slapped at his shoulder and tried to smack the white-haired youth like a bug. But he felt like he didn't touch anything.
After raising his hand, he saw his bare shoulder, and the white-haired youth had disappeared.
Then, he dropped his gaze and saw the white-haired youth standing in front of the ice-layered door, slowly breaking it apart!
''No, you won't!'' The Avatar changed his grasp and did a horizontal slash. This time, his muscles bulged, and blood vessels protruded. He put all his strength into this single strike.
The white-haired youth-only moved his head halfway and jumped over the sharp blade. After the sword had missed him, he landed on the ground and saw that the hole had reappeared on the ice layer.
He took another look at the shocked Avatar, who couldn't believe his eyes.
''Who… Are you?'' The Avatar of God Zephyros asked one more time. But, he didn't receive a reply as the white-haired youth stepped out of the hall, and after that, the granite doors closed shut.
Thud!
The Avatar dropped his sword and felt some strange feeling sprouting in his heart. He touched his chest and felt the pounding heart, ''Is this… fear?''
…
''Wraith!'' Darth bolted forward and stopped next to the white-haired youth, whose eyes seemed unfocused.
''Eh?'' Isaac's eyes fluttered as he looked around him with confusion, ''What… Where am I?''
''Eh?'' Darth frowned and said, ''You left the hall… Right, how the hell did you do that?''
'I left the hall?' Isaac turned around and saw the closed granite door. His eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't remember anything, 'Didn't I die?'
Ding! Ding!
Everyone's attention was shifted to the swarm of announcements.
[DEFEAT!]
