MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny

Chapter 18 Zephyr Vs Ana Cross

The next day the tournament resumed, now there were 8 participants left if the three of us won Ana and Zep would meet.

This time nothing amazing happened because everyone already knew our strengths so the three of us agreed to finish the game as quickly as possible.

In contrast to before, this time there were some students who started using unification but to be honest it was very disappointing, they all used it in the wrong way.

They used such unification were the mainstay techniques and forbidden techniques on the other hand.

They instead of forming an armor from nowhere, they instead let it enter their body, it was true that the effect was the same but your body would be destroyed if such a huge force was allowed to rampage within your body.

At first I was very nervous and did not believe I could win in this selection tournament because almost all of them were S grade students, he said, and if class C students alone are as strong as Ana and Zep what about class S which contains monsters like Lucy.

But it's very disappointing, it's true they're quite great but that's just in one area.

Ana fights students with incredible speed and her weapon is a dagger, she is an assassin. But only that, for what has incredible speed but can not even penetrate the defense of your enemy.

So at that time Ana only needs to create a mini tornado to blow her enemies off the arena family.

While Zep fights the students with invisible arrows and no sound, it was indeed quite annoying to most people but to Zep who was extremely sensitive to magic it was an ordinary arrow that could be seen clearly.

Right now I'm dealing with a golden-haired student like Angelina.

He is an Alno member of the Mammon family and according to Lucy's story he is the second strongest after himself, his ability is Pilfer is to steal something from opponents want it weapons, artifacts, and weapons, up to the strength of the opponent itself it's just that his weakness is that he can't possibly steal 100% of the opponent's strength at most is 50-99% depending on the opponent's strength itself, the stronger the opponent then the lower the percentage of strength that could be stolen.

It was already very strong because the enemy's strength could be overwritten with his own strength so it could be said that he always excelled in battle.

But that didn't mean he could steal the special powers of the other 7 demon princes, therefore all this time he could only be ranked second.

He used a sword-type weapon like mine.

A golden aura began to envelop Alno and instantly I felt weak and Alno grew stronger.

"Haha!! I felt power flowing inside me!"

Alno laughed out loud as if his victory was assured.

I tried to clench my hand to adjust to the change, only the effect was not as great as I imagined.

Alno's golden magic energy exploded from his body and began to change shape into golden armor.

I did the same thing by using the unification only that right now I am using the unification of light.

"Fight begins!"

Alno disappeared and appeared in front of me in an instant, I am currently quite careful as she is the strongest student now so I decided to assess her strength first.

the attack power, the speed, the reflexes, were all quite great so I concluded that she was as strong as Lucy when using the power of Lucifer, only that was because until now when we fought Funny had never used unification.

"Hahaha you can't even counterattack now?"

Alno charged towards my neck but the sword only slashed through the empty air.

I appeared behind him to deliver a crushing blow but he immediately turned around and held back my sword.

Alno was pushed back a few steps due to the impact of my attack.

"No way! I've stolen your power and you can still keep up with my speed, even making me retreat like this!?"

Once again the two of us disappeared and the golden and white magic energy clashed to and fro, but after a while one of the magic energy turned from white to black.

"Boom!" "Couple!"

Alno was thrown out of the arena until he hit the barrier followed by coughing up blood.

His armor is now broken and starting to disappear, right now I am switching my union from light to darkness because if it continues like that it will only end in a dead end.

"The winner is Ryu from class C!"

And with that the three of us qualified for the top 4 and after the break Ana and Zep would fight.

.

.

.

"Good job."

By the way Lucy had been sitting in a vip chair because she was present as the daughter of the Lucifer family.

Every break we both must always go for tea, because now I go more often to the place where Lucy so my friend friend must come there so we are now quite rarely in the canton.

The five of us were sitting in a garden at Lucy's house drinking tea together.

"After this Zep will fight with Ana right? I'm looking forward to it."

Lucy talked while drinking tea, as we visited so they were familiar enough as friends.

Ana and Asta who were making out from earlier turned around after the conversation started.

"Heii Zep I'll kill you if you hurt Ana!"

Asta immediately started with a warning, I agreed because Zep was the type of person who went crazy while fighting but that was true for Ana who became very arrogant when in her union. I don't understand because I don't even feel anything while in unification unless I let the dark energy into my body.

"Huh!? how am I supposed to win if I'm even forbidden from scratching her body!?"

"The shop can't! can you break Ana's beautiful skin!? you definitely don't want to, do you? say yes!"

"Huh!? how ridiculous! if I refuse what can you do? you're even weaker than Ana! even if I kill Ana now you can only cry and see."

After the last sentence came out Asta immediately kept silent.

"Zep please don't make fun of him like that, he's been working hard lately.he's quite talented so maybe in a few months he can already use unification."

Now Ana intervenes to reprimand Zep while stroking Asta's head like a mother.

"What if you just give up? you should know that you can't possibly win against Zep."

Asta suggested with a worried tone, I actually agreed because Zep was the counter of all things and without any weakness I could tell.

"No, I would die of shame if I gave up before fighting. If Zep is serious I will also be serious and if Zep holds back I will still be serious, I may lose but I won't lose without a fight."

.

.

.

We go to the arena because soon the fight will start.

"We'll see from the audience seats so we'd better do our best."

We split Aku and Asta into the audience seats, Lucy into the vip room, while Ana and Zep went into the arena.

.

.

.

Shortly after the break in the vip room, the headmaster sat in a chair and the secretary entered to give a pile of reports in front of the principal.

the headmaster read the document while speaking.

"What is the state of the barrier installed in the arena?"

"We have fixed all five barriers and are expected to be able to withstand a strategic level attack, even if student Ana cross casts out the mass destruction magic like before it would only destroy a few layers and would not reach the audience."

"Increase the barrier to 10 layers and you have to keep the last layer on guard."

"10 Layers? isn't that too much? only the full strength of the main family could break such a strong barrier whereas Ana Cross's students were only the daughters of ordinary families."

"Do you think the daughter of an ordinary family can use unification? and did you just see him sweating during a fight? he wasn't even serious about the fight."

"What's? how is that possible...."

"If you understand then do it."

"Understand."

.

.

.

Ana and Zep stood face to face.

"Fight begins!"

"Entertainment union."

Ana immediately floated into the air.

Whereas on the other hand Zep started yelling to activate the unification like a super saia.

"YAHOO!!!!"

"BOOM!!"

Zep crashes due to Ana's attack.

"What are you doing fucking!!"

"This is me asking what are you doing? yelling like that in the middle of a fight?"

"Huh!? have you never heard that you have to wait for your enemies to use their full strength before fighting!?"

"That's just in a certain story you know? that doesn't happen in the real world."

Zep continued to nag because Ana did not have a knight spirit and used dirty means, while Ana on the other hand stared down in great disgust.

Zep repeatedly tried to use unification but was always failed by Ana with very strong wind pressure.

"You can use it without yelling, right? better do it fast 'cause I'm getting bored."

"No way!"

"Tch don't blame me if you die."

Ana formed a tornado and it went straight towards Zep at high speed.

"Boom!"

dust flew everywhere, from within the dust came out a purple-colored spear energy immediately shot right towards Ana's face but Ana avoided it easily.

After the dust disappeared, Zep appeared with his unifying form.

"good enough, unification stage 2 activate."

Ana who was usually in the form of unification just surrounded herself with wind magic energy now all that magic energy began to solidify and form a pale green-colored armor.

Ana's magic energy increased rapidly to a level where previous magic energy could not be compared.

If strength was measured only by magic energy then Ana was obviously much stronger than Zep, but that was not the case at the moment.

Ana attacks Zep with a wind spear, if the wind pressure that Ana normally uses aims to throw the enemy then this spear will instantly destroy it.

Zep did not even move or intend to withstand the attack, the wind spear hit the Zep making the surrounding floor destroyed by the impact.

It's just that Zep didn't move at all not even scratched.

This is why we agreed that Ana could not win against Zep from the start, it was because of the "Anti magic" effect that the Zep armor had.

Even my attacks could not break through his armor because his magic effects were eliminated and became pure physical strength.

So a pure Ana using magic would not be able to win.

Zep started running towards Ana who was still floating in the air, Ana bombarded Zep with hundreds of wind spears but it only damaged the surrounding area without scratching Zep's armor in the slightest.

Zep jumped towards Ana while preparing a stabbing attack.

But before his spear reached Ana, Zep slammed into the ground so hard that it created a crater.

"Fufu~ I've expected this attack to affect you."

"I didn't think you could break through my anti-magic."

If previously Ana used magic to form a spear, now she just spins the wind at high speed then pushes it with magic, the spear which is now not a spear made of magic but just a natural wind.

It was impossible to break through the Zep armor because it was just an ordinary wind that moved so fast that it was able to throw the Zep into the ground, it was also strong enough to make the Zep armor become a bit of a dent.

The Zep jumped once again but this time with even greater force and created a dust explosion.

Zep arrived in front of Ana in an instant and instantly launched an attack with both of his spears, tens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of spear thrusts attacking Ana while still in the air, Ana dodges all of the attacks because she can move freely in the air and Zep crashes again because of Ana's attack.

"It seems like a dead end."

Ana is the one who speaks.

"You think so? Sorry but I don't think so."

A moment after Ana realized that there was blood on her cheek, even now in her armor there were some scratches.

"Tch so, you used illusion magic while launching an attack."

"Huhah! as expected of you you can find out right away."

"Prolonged battles will only harm me so how about we end up in the next attack?"

"I'm also tired of fighting this way so let's do it."

Ana starts creating a giant tornado like the last time, not this bigger.

Tornadoes started to rampage and destroy the arena.

As the tornado had filled the entire arena, it shrank and shrank and now it was only the size of a spear, which reduced in size but inside the spear the power of the tornado was still insane.

What Ana did was to forcefully compress tornadoes by reducing the scope of tornadoes little by little with a wind barrier.

When the tornado's spear had finished Ana's nosebleed and vomited blood.

"Hehe turned out that compressing it was already draining my magic and it was quite difficult to maintain its shape."

On the other side Zep kept one of his lances and raised another spear in a throwing position.

"YAHOO!!!!"

Zep shouted and instantly his entire magic energy was centered on the spear even now his armor had already disappeared due to being absorbed into his spear.

The magic power in the spear was so terrifying that I wasn't sure I could withstand it even with all my strength.

"Excuse me! it's an emergency! all spectators please evacuate!"

The guards started running to evacuate the spectators, and after a while the entire seat became empty leaving me and Asta.

"Fucking zep!! Ana will die if the attack hits her!!"

The two of them threw their spears simultaneously and met right in the middle.

The two spears clashed and stopped in the middle for a moment but after.

"Crack Crush!!!"

Ana's spear broke apart and created a tornado explosion that was so fierce that it destroyed the entire arena and continued to destroy all the barriers even up to the audience seats.

I activated my union to protect myself and Asta.

Amidst the explosion, Zep's spear still continued to glide towards Ana.

"Fufu~ as I thought, I can't even move now."

Ana closes her eyes and accepts the end but Ana is thrown away from the spear.

I kicked Ana away because now is not the time to be gentle.

A moment after I kicked Ana spear Zep up, I held her back with all my strength.

I was dragged by the spear and flew for hundreds of meters, I cast dark magic into the spear to reduce its power but it had little effect and I continued to be dragged further and further until it reached the ground.

It's not that the spear kept gliding on the ground while pushing me.

"Brok!" vomited blood

The spear continued forward destroying the entire building it passed through.

Since there was no other choice I released the Light Magic that flowed inside me and let the darkness magic in.

Instantly my eyeball became red and fangs began to appear even behind me there was a bat wing.

Because of turning into a vampire I was finally able to land my foot on the ground and slightly reduce the speed of the spear.

I was dragged for a while before the spear finally stopped.

my armour is broken even now I am badly injured. I can't believe anyone is able to withstand a direct hit from this spear.

My armor disappeared and I returned to my human form. If the power of this spear did not decrease due to colliding with Ana's magic I'm sure I will definitely die.

Now I can just lie down and wait for people to pick me up, because all my energy is running out now.

"You've worked hard so now rest."

After hearing that voice, I fell asleep.
