BXBX NOVEL Chapter 339 Helpless Rishi
Rishi talked with Shreya for some more time. He discussed with her how to create a semi-Zone. She, as an excellent big sister, answered all his questions. He asked her about elemental Zones and the properties of Zones.
She replied, "Zones give multiple boosts to the user, like Cooldown Reduction, Range, Mana Cost, Attack Boost, and many more. It depends on the type of Zone, the element of the Zone, and the shape of the Zone. The shape and size of a zone are essential. You must think carefully about the type of Zone you want to create."
"Everyone has a limited amount of Spirit energy. You will need to consider which type of Zone suits you. It is not good to always take a conventional approach. My Zone is sword-shaped. This is not only because I wanted to make it stylish; It was because I wanted to increase the range of my attacks," she added.
"The Sword Shape also makes my Zone more stable. It helps me add properties to the sword zone. At last, everything depends on your creativity, compatibility, and imagination. A zone should fulfill these three main goals: first, to give you a massive advantage; second, to cover your weaknesses; and third, to counter other zones," she continued.
Rishi was so absorbed in his conversation with her that he didn't notice when time passed. He only realized that it was now time for his battle when he heard his name. He looked at the battleground, where a girl could be seen looking at him strangely, and everyone in the crowd was also staring at him.
He stood up and looked at Shreya before he started walking to the stage. He had learned a lot after talking with her. At first, he wanted to maintain his distance from her because he thought she hated him. Only now did he understand that he had misunderstood her.
She cared about him, and the incidents sealed in his memories resurfaced again. As he remembered how she never let anyone bully her and protected him sometimes, A smile appeared on his face. In the past, he was so depressed that he could never think with a clear head, but after talking to her, he was feeling better.
Kajal looked at the smile on his face that she had never seen; she never knew he looked more handsome while smiling. But when she realized he was smiling after meeting Shreya, she felt she was not feeling well. She was confused, not knowing the reason for her bad mood.
Rishi looked at Kajal, staring with a severe expression. She looked to be in a bad mood. When he looked at her angry expression, which he found to be even more cute, he could not control his laughter. Kajal saw him laughing while looking at her. She became more enraged; she clenched her fists tightly, and Lightning Sparks started dancing in her eyes.
He finally controlled himself when he saw her getting more angry, but no matter how much he tried, he could not stop smiling. The battle soon started. Before Rishi could understand anything, she approached him and started shooting multiple spells at him.
Rishi defended himself using his defensive spells, but soon realized he could not defend everything. Two or three spells landed on him and stunned him. The next moment, he found himself inside a lightning storm, and Kajal was sitting before him on her throne.
Lightning flickered around her eyes. It was now that Rishi awakened. He realized, looking at her, that he was in big trouble. Without saying anything, Kajal started spamming her spells. Rishi started to dodge them using his momentary skill, 'Shadow Steps. He then used his frost Armor' and ice Enhancement' to defend.
The battle continued; Kajal kept spamming spells, and Rishi had no choice but to defend. Soon he realized that most of her spells followed him; they had 'sure hit' properties. He was bombarded with them, but he survived, thanks to his Magic defense.
Small injuries were healed in an instant. His eyes howled in a golden glow as he used his 'Chains of Shadow' to destroy the spells approaching him. Kajal's anger was not decreasing with time. She used her control to create a giant hand of lightning, which she used to attack Rishi.
Rishi summoned more chains and used them to group up and create a Giant Hand made up of chains. The two attacked each other as if they were arm wrestling. The result was Rishi's chains getting destroyed and him getting smashed.
This attack injured him. A sudden flicker of intent flared in his eyes. But when the next moment he saw the worry in Kajal's eyes and realized that her anger had decreased, he didn't know why he was not able to attack her. He knew the only way to end this battle was to eliminate her, and he was capable enough of doing that.
He needed to use the last technique of his 'Ghost in Shadow' Chakram Art, and he might succeed, but the only reason he could not do so was because that technique was destructive; it was not something he could control. He might end up harming Kajal, and he could not do that.
Soon, the memories of the previous battle appeared in front of him. He realized that last time Kajal was weak, and he was lucky to make her surrender, but this time she was not weak enough to be defeated like that. More spells hit him, and he stood there trying to defend himself.
When others saw this, they first thought Rishab was not that strong. But soon, they realized it was not the case when they saw that he was only dodging. He had many opportunities to attack, but he didn't. Everyone was confused; they had never seen him this helpless.
The wounds on his body regenerated, and he looked to be completely fine. The others were curious about what had happened to Rishab. Is he injured or out of mana? Everyone had started to make wild guesses.
Kajal's anger had subsided, and she stopped for a minute. Why? Why is he not fighting? She could not understand Rishab. It was not that it was the first time, but this had been the case from the beginning. He was always a mystery to her—what he did, why he did it—nothing made any sense to her.
She could feel as if he was not completely focused on the battle; there were many opportunities where he had a chance to attack her, but it was as if he didn't want to attack her. Defending would have been an option if they were fighting outside, but inside Lightning Storm's spell, he needed to attack.
She was not feeling good when she saw him getting injured again and again; even she was surprised herself—since when did he become so kind? She finally made a decision: this can't continue like this.
She had seen him fighting and knew the boy in front of her was not someone kind. He was known as Reaper, and this title was not given to him because it also started with the letter R. She decided that things couldn't go on like this; she said, "Fight Seriously or I will concede defeat; I don't want to win like this."
When Rishi heard it, he closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath. The next moment he used 'Extreme Focus' and slowed down time, many things went through his mind. He opened his eyes, and they contained a new clarity.
He looked at Kajal before looking at the audience and apologizing, "I am sorry; I was injured and I was not focused in the battle. I will give my best now." The next moment, multiple chains appeared around him, and soon more Chakrams appeared.
