Heavenly Saga

Chapter 107: False Hope

After they heard the emcee's announcement, Princess Kyomi and Belle glanced at each other's way and they showed a wonderful smile to each other.

On the enemy side, the five remaining members of the team of the fourth graders started to become more serious than before. They couldn't afford to let their guard down anymore.

The human attacker who was defeated and lost his consciousness was the weakest one among the members of their team. Although he was just a seishin practitioner at the rank of Entry Seishin Captain, it was still a huge loss to the team of the fourth graders.

Despite the huge loss they incur after losing a member of their team, the enemy team still did not have their morale waver even for a little bit.

Every student in the Verrater Academy was taught in their classes that as long as the seishin practitioner can still move and still alive, there was still hope.

They were also taught that the remaining sliver of hope will be wasted if ever the seishin practitioner did nothing to overcome those challenges he or she has been facing. This was the reason why they were taught to not give up until it is finally over.

The enemy team's eyes became more determined than before. A moment later, they decided to start their move as soon as they can.

The enemy rearguard smirked because he thought of doing something. He decided to conjure that same seishin spell as before. He chanted, "I command thee, Illuminate thy master's path, let the stars in the starry night fall upon those who are against your master, Starfall!"

Numerous little stars suddenly started to barrage Princess Kyomi and the others. Like when it was launched to them before, Princess Kyomi and Sabina did just fine avoiding them but the other four did not do good in doing that.

Adele's Ice Guard seishin spell did not have enough defensive capabilities to completely defend against those little stars. When some of those little stars hit her, her Ice Guard was completely destroyed in the process. She was lightly injured after the barrage of those little stars.

When the little stars hit Princess Kyomi and the others, like before, Aredhel was not able to dodge it all so she was hit some.

Earlier Aredhel's Wind Guard seishin spell's defense capabilities were greatly lessened by the previous Starfall seishin spell. Now that it got hit by another Starfall seishin spell, it was completely destroyed by the barrage of those little stars.

As a result of lacking defensive capabilities, Aredhel was hit directly by those little stars and she was injured in the process. Previously, she was already injured by that same seishin spell but fortunately, she was immediately healed by Adele.

Aredhel's situation was much worse now because this time, she was hit by the same seishin spell but she has lesser defensive capabilities.

At the same time, Belle and Princess Gloriel already used up the seishin defensive spells that they had cast earlier.

When some of those little stars started to hit them, they were defenseless against those little stars. After they got hit by those, they got really injured as well.

It was worse for Princess Gloriel, she was still in the middle of treatment before the Starfall seishin spell struck them. When it hit her while she was defenseless, she became extremely injured.

Due to her excessive injuries, she fell on her back on the ground and she lost her consciousness right after that.

Teacher Kyleen immediately rushed toward her and she brought her on the sides so that she can heal her properly. She gave the cue to the emcee that the dwarven princess was already lost her consciousness.

"Now, the first grade's tank has fallen! As expected of the High Seishin Captain ranked practitioner of the fourth grade's team. He completely overwhelmed the members of her enemy team by just using a seishin spell twice! How will this battle develop? Let's see together, everyone!"

Everyone in the audience of the Alstan Stadium cheered very loudly. They became even more excited when they saw the enormous power of the students of the great Verrater Academy.

Five out of six members were the only remaining in the first grade's team. And three of those remaining five members were already injured.

Princess Kyomi and the other girls were in a great predicament after that one seishin spell. They started to get tenser because of the fickle situation they were in.

Belle, Aredhel, and Adele were all panting very hard due to the injuries that they received from the previous attack of the enemy rearguard.

The great pressure that was given to them by the enemy team forced Princess Kyomi and her teammates to go on the defensive even though they incurred many injuries from the previous attack.

Since Adele was not able to cast any seishin spell with her current condition, Princess Kyomi initiated to cast a seishin spell to heal her injured teammates.

She chanted, "I command thee, Illuminate thy master's path, mends any wound by your luminescence, Blessing Rays!"

Pillars of light were formed on the area where Princess Kyomi and the other remaining members of the first grade were currently standing. All those who incurred injuries started healing the damages that they got.

While Princess Kyomi was focusing on using her seishin spell to heal her other teammates, they will be left defenseless against possible enemy attacks. This was why Sabina decided to defend her teammates so that they will be healed properly because their team's tank was already fallen to the enemy team's hands.

Secretly, the enemy recon started casting a seishin spell. She chanted, "As the element who represents fear itself, restrict those who oppose me, Shadow Bind!"

After the black seishin essences finished gathering around the enemy recon, those black seishin essences turned into shadow particles one by one.

When the enemy recon finished her chantings, the shadow went discreetly toward Sabina.

Before Sabina knew it, the Shadow Bind already caught her so she was not able to move that spot unless she removed that seishin spell.
