Chapter 70 - The Suppressed St. John
Chapter 70: The Suppressed St. John
In the arena, the students of St. John and Quinn stood facing each other with solemn expressions.
Although the results of the exhibition match would not be counted towards the overall points, no one wanted to be the loser.
This was especially so for the students of St. John.
Vincent was very strong to them. He was able to win in a one-on-two battle. They were fearful of him.
However, it was currently a team battle. They did not believe that Vincent would have the ability to fight one-on-five.
This was also their only chance to defeat Quinn, or rather, Vincent.
Since the start of the competition, Quinn had maintained a winning streak.
The three top schools all had rankings. St. John’s was first and Mokissner was not far behind them.
Quinn was ranked third, yet Vincent had managed to maintain an all-win record.
St. John and Mokissner were ashamed. They had lost a match each and both to Vincent from Quinn.
“Team exhibition match, begin!” announced the host loudly.
Both schools started to move forward.
St. John only had one goal. Their target was Vincent.
They knew that so long as they defeated Vincent, no matter how strong the other students were, they would still be able to defeat them.
Vincent could tell what was going on. He stood at the back. In this battle, he was willing to give up his main offense and switch to control.
Although his Hellfire’s characteristics were of an elemental type, Vincent had managed to develop it into an all-rounded superpower.
Vincent had strategically planned his team’s position so that he would be in control.
From that moment on, he was the central nervous system of the team.
Chris and Avril stood at the front, while Nabil and Angelina stood in front of Vincent.
If Teacher Chris was there, she would know that this was the best plan that Vincent had come up with so far.
The students of St. John charged towards them. They were greeted by a huge wave of water-type elemental abilities.
Chris took out a crystal core and swallowed it. He transformed into a Titan Giant Ape!
Titan Giant Ape was a high-level monster. It was over fifty meters tall and had high attack and defense. It had the strength of an overlord in close combat. Ordinary monsters were no match for it.
“Roar!”
Chris pounded his chest and roared as he faced the waves.
Avril immediately pulled out two mountain-splitting axes and threw them outwards.
Just as Chris was about to collide with the waves, more waves appeared behind him!
It was Angelina’s superpower, Absorb!
Boom!
The waves collided with one another. Water splashed out in all directions, and the entire arena was submerged in water.
Over at St. John’s side, there was a huge bear that was covered in snow-white and azure-blue light. The lights were flashing behind the waves.
Although the bear was not as tall as Chris’s Titan Giant Ape, it was still more than thirty meters tall.
When the two huge beasts collided, they did not show any mercy. They seized the opportunity to attack one another with all their might.
It was as if the team battle had turned into a one-on-one battle.
The two mountain-splitting axes that Avril threw were blocked by Louis.
His Eight-armed Vajra had the strength of four people.
Whilst he blocked Avril, he fired his psionic gun repeatedly. He also formed a fire net in front of him to block Avril’s attacks. At the same time, he was also supporting the Giant Thunder Bear.
Nabil released his Holy Light Binding superpower to restrict the two students with offensive superpowers. He then unleashed 100,000 Lightning Strikes.
The 100,000 Lightning Strikes struck the two students. However, it passed through their bodies without causing any damage.
Vincent stood at the back and watched the situation unfold. He frowned.
The two participants had never displayed much combat strength in the previous battles. A situation like this had never occurred before.
Therefore, Vincent was quite confused and shocked.
Vincent threw out a Fire Vine and tied it around Avril’s waist to pull her back.
Bang!
A big pit suddenly appeared where Avril was standing before. The pit was full of spikes.
If Vincent’s reaction had been a little slower, Avril would have fallen in. Even if she did not die, she would have been seriously injured.
After saving Avril, Vincent raised his right hand and slammed it on the ground.
“Hellfire Prison!”
Teng!
Black flames rose and spread under their feet. Vincent trapped the St. John students in a cage.
Louis had faced the Hellfire Prison before, so he was not flustered. He grabbed it with his two arms, shouted, and tore the cage into pieces.
He dispelled his superpower and cast it again. He then turned behind to help the others.
How could Vincent let him off so easily? Vincent used the Flamethrower Barrage to stop Louis.
The Giant Thunder Bear clapped its hands, and countless bolts of lightning appeared in its palms. It then grabbed the cage.
If it were any other time, the bear would have been able to break out of the Hellfire Prison easily.
However, it was fighting against Chris. Chris would not let it escape so easily.
Chris’s palms were the size of two people. He shot out giant wind fans towards the Giant Thunder Bear.
The Giant Thunder Bear then turned its body and used its two palms to block Chris’s palms in return.
Bang!
Swoosh!
Their two palms were against one another. The wind gusted out and created shock waves.
The other three people were completely trapped in the Hellfire Prison. They could not move at all.
Angelina saw an opportunity and used her monstrous waves to attack the three people.
After Avril was rescued by Vincent, she did not return to her position at the front. Instead, she took out her two psionic guns and started shooting. Her target was Louis.
Although Louis’s superpower was powerful, he was still unable to help the three of them who were stuck in Hellfire prison. This was due to the combined efforts of Vincent and Avril.
St. John’s five students were completely separated and fought on their own for some time.
Chris fought against the Giant Thunder Bear. Due to the Hellfire prison, it could only receive attacks passively and defend. He was unable to take the initiative to attack.
Louis fought against Vincent and Avril’s long-range attacks. Although he was not at a disadvantage, he was still suppressed by them.
Angelina continued to use monstrous waves to attack the three students who were trapped. The three of them could not move, so they could only defend passively.
“Status buff!”
Nabil was the only one who did not have a target to fight against, but he did not slack off. Instead, he gave Chris a status buff.
“Holy Light Binding!”
Nabil used his superpower against the Giant Thunder Bear once again.
“100,000 Lightning Strikes!”
His target was still the Giant Thunder Bear.
Quinn and St. John had used two completely different methods to fight.
Quinn focused on four students and attacked their weaknesses.
St. John on the other hand targeted Vincent and had planned a decapitation operation.
Neither method was good nor bad. Each method had its own merits.
Based on the current situation, it was obvious that Quinn’s tactics were more effective.
The Giant Thunder Bear fainted after being continuously attacked by Chris and Nabil. The student’s superpower was exhausted and he transformed back to his human form.
Chris, who had struck down the Giant Thunder Bear turned to look at Louis. He then charged at him. He roared excitedly.
Louis’s expression changed. The Giant Thunder Bear’s defeat had made it even more difficult for St. John to win.
