The Endless System
Ch 88 — Ice Has Been Crushed

Hail falling onto the arena, that streak of ice had a sharpness capable of piercing through the human body. But Tohrei just smiled thinly as if there was nothing to worry about.

The truth is, there is nothing to worry about.

“” Tohrei moves his hand to the ceiling of the arena rained in barbed ice.

Instantly, the hail came to a halt in the air. Zen and the audience were confused to see the incident.

While the others stared at the halted hail, Ifrit, Ikumi, Ryui, and Urashia stared in the other direction. They looked towards Tohrei, they looked amazed at him (unless Ryui looked at him for no apparent reason, it was probably his instinct to continue feeling interested in looking at Tohrei).

Tohrei then moved the ice freely with the cues of his hand. He then attacked back, the thorny ice Tohrei returned to Zen.

The rain of ice needles shot towards Zen, he did not expect that Tohrei had this kind of ability. ‘Actually how many abilities does he have?’ Inner Zen.

“” Zen destroyed the ice needles that fought back against him using a blizzard. The ice was blown away and destroyed with nothing left.

Tohrei without waiting nimbly attacked Zen again. He took out a sword from the system's storage and used it to slash at Zen.

Zen who had no time could only create a fragile ice barrier to withstand Tohrei's attack.

As a result, Tohrei's sword shattered the ice barrier and did not hit Zen. When the ice he had just crushed, Zen had already prepared another spell immediately.

“!” Dozens of ice arrows struck right at Tohrei, but he swiftly used teleportation magic to move behind Zen.

“What—?! Since when—?!” Zen felt surprised when he saw that Tohrei without any sign was already behind him.

“!” Tohrei created a magic circle right on Zen's back.

Instantly Zen crashed forward as a very sudden attack came from his back. He rolled until he was finally dragged on the arena floor.

The audience thought that Zen was unconscious, but soon he got back up even though his body was covered with wounds.

“You can still get up? Surprisingly, do you want to continue this?” Tohrei walked closer towards Zen who was still kneeling.

“I... Not surrender.... It's not much!” Zen stood upright, he created an ice sword in his right hand.

Zen drew his sword towards Tohrei. “Fight once again with me!”

“Good, I received.” Tohrei kept the sword before. Now he took another sword, the Celerize ZX, which had accompanied him for some time.

They swung swords at each other. The sword fight was fierce. The sword swing between the two of them was equally shrewd.

‘His sword capabilities... Can too!’ Tohrei, who from his previous life was also quite skilled in swordmanship was impressed by the skills Zen possessed.

When Tohrei made a swinging attack from top to bottom, Zen held him back with his sword. He then pushed his sword and threw Tohrei's sword.

At that moment, Zen, with a small chance, slammed into Tohrei's stomach from left to right.

However, when the slash should have hit Tohrei, a sword fell right on the blade of Zen's sword and made the ice sword nyq shatter into pieces.

The other sword that destroyed Zen's ice sword was Celerize XZ who should have already bounced away.

‘My sword?!’ Zen was shocked.

Celerize XZ can fall right on Den's blade because Tohrei had used telekinesis to control the sword.

Zen immediately moved backwards, sharpening his eyes towards Tohrei's alert mark. Meanwhile, Tohrei took out his sword that stuck on the arena floor casually and drew it towards Zen.

‘I forgot, he has the power to control things.’

“Majulah, this time I will not use weapons or magic.” Tohrei stored back his sword into the system storage.

Tohrei gave a sign to advance through his hand to Zen. The young blue-haired young man immediately came forward and slashed a hard blow.

However, Tohrei with a smiling face, blocked the blow with his palm.

Tohrei countered the attack by taking a head kick using his leg. Zen quickly got into action, he blocked Tohrei's kick with his arm from receiving a more serious injury.

Although already deflecting it, Zen still crashed to the side due to Tohrei's kick that was so hard.

‘What's that hard kick? His physical strength turned out to be just as strong!’ Although Zen thought so, actually Tohrei did not use his full strength. Tohrei only used about 2 percent of his entire stat. Also, he asked the system to disable the absolute avoidance skill.

“Don't daydream! It's not over Zen!” Tohrei jumped up and threw a punch towards Zen.

Zen took a few steps back just before the punch slid towards his face. “Now you're starting to dare to call my name?”

“What is wrong?” Tohrei again gave an attack. This time he took martial arts seriously. Tohrei was not only an expert in sword arts, but also bare-handed martial arts.

Zen repelled Tohrei's attack, he counterattacked. As well as Tohrei, he retaliated against every Zen attack.

Tohrei only realized something a while after colliding with Zen, the young blue-haired young man was also good at martial arts.

They continued to fight relentless attacks. Unknowingly, Zen widened his lips after a long period of empty-handed combat with Tohrei.

None of the two showed any signs of exhaustion. Zen that had the element of ice could continue to cool his body. Meanwhile, Tohrei had so much incredible vitality that it was not easy for him to feel tired.

However, Zen has its limitations. Using constantly his ice ability made his mana gradually thin out.

“Where am I almost finished, hey, can I use my full strength?” Zen's face began to pale.

“I don't mind at all! Eject it!” Tohrei swiftly made the horses survive.

“Then—” Zen concentrate his mana into his right fist. Ice energy began to collect and make the surrounding temperature decrease.

“...!!” Zen used all his energy in his fist, he blasted the attack right at Tohrei's face.

Tohrei held the blow with both arms crossed. Instantly the ice energy vandalized and disrupted the surrounding temperature. Snowfall was also created after the blow, making the view of the audience and Tohrei slightly obstructed.

Even so, with the area detection skill, Tohrei was able to ascertain how Zen was now.

Before long, the snowfall disappeared and showed the audience who the winner was. Tohrei looked fine, whereas, Zen was already lying unconscious.

“It was pretty strong.” Tohrei looked towards his slightly frozen arm. But slowly the ice that froze him melted.

“The winner is Yami!” The referee named Tohrei as the winner.

Applause and cheerful cheers were heard from all over the spectator bench. That was a pretty good fight.

Tohrei approached and crouched down near Zen. He pointed his hand at Zen's head. “” Instantly Zen's body recovers and his mana is slightly replenished.

“Bring him to the treatment room.” Tohrei said to the medical team at the end of the arena.

“Good!” A group of four-man medical teams took Zen out of the arena.

‘So now only the fight against Cresil? I look forward to it.’ Tohrei smiled faintly towards Cresil who was sitting on the spectator bench quite far from the arena.

On the other hand, Cresil also sharpened his eyes staring at Tohrei. ‘I can feel it, he can be a bad threat, but I can't attack him secretly.’ His inner.

“Yeah, let's see later in the next game.” Cresil murmured before standing up from the bleachers and leaving from there.
