Nagato Kagutsuchi: The Dawn
Ch. 226 — Fuyumi Iris vs Seibu Azuki! Beauty Number One!
“Alright, we move on to the next game. Fuyumi Iris and Seibu Azuki please come forward!”
Gyuki scratched her head because she felt that the fight this time would be interesting. Iris is a beginner who first entered the Tiger Tournament Kai, but the match record is very good.
One of the ten young genius swordsmen he had defeated, and now his opponent was also included in the ten young genius swordsmen.
The audience began to talk about the fight that would soon be presented in the middle of the Tiger Circle Arena field.
As soon as Iris and Azuki entered the middle of the field, rumbling sounds echoed throughout the corner of the Tiger Circle Arena.
“Fuyumi Iris! I'm you!”
“Stupid! You are a woman!”
In one of the stands, two young girls admired Iris. Soon the crowd cheers were heard again.
“Interesting once, I'm sure Azuki will avenge Kirisaki's defeat!”
“I still support the number one beauty in the mainland of Kai Empire! Fuyumi Iris, you have to win!”
“Fight on Fuyumi Iris!”
“Fight on Seibu Azuki!”
The audience in the southern stands excited Iris and Azuki. They were all impatient to watch the fight that would be presented in the middle of the field in the round of 16 of the Tiger Kai Tournament.
In the middle of the field, Gyuki was explaining the rules of the match to Iris and Azuki. After the two young girls nodded as they still remembered the rules, Gyuki gestured for Iris and Azuki to retreat backwards.
“Alright, take some distance and wait for me,” Gyuki said as she stared at Iris and Auzki.
“The second game of the last 16 of the Tiger Tournament Kai between Fuyumi Iris against Seibu Azuki begins!” Gyuki started the match cue and jumped back to observe the match.
“I'll avenge Kirisaki's defeat!” Azuki was deep in her heart. The red-haired girl played her sword and ran over to Iris.
Azuki's footsteps looked slow, but also fast, so Iris vigilantly instantly formed an ice sword using her inner power.
An exchange of attacks occurs when Azuki and Iris are already at a close distance. A loud sword clash colored the middle of the Tiger Circle Arena field.
“Puncture Eternal Flame Flow!” Azuki skillfully played her sword by doing a puncture attack that made Iris desperate.
Iris suffered a puncture wound around her smooth stomach skin, but the wounds immediately froze considering Iris had the power of the Snow Goddess's Witch.
Before long Iris exhaled towards Azuki to keep her distance and set the strategy. Iris's breathing was slightly hunting as she had exchanged attacks with Azuki for thirty minutes nonstop.
Slowly Iris processed her breathing to stay awake her breathing flow, “I want to use some of my new techniques..” The beautiful girl turned softly in her heart after her breathing returned to normal.
Realizing that Azuki had re-started her attack, Iris closed her eyes and concentrated.
“Ice Sword..” Iris's palm opened and formed an ice sword patterned with roses that shot out in her palm.
Iris was recalling the movement of her sword technique while feeling the air of Azuki's existence.
“Freedom of Fire!” It was seen Azuki releasing her red-colored body aura and focusing it on her sword blade. Then Azuki played her sword which formed a bird beak slash made of blazing fire in that air.
When the slash of Azuki's sword that formed the beak of the bird that was taper with flames that became its overall shape shot towards him, Iris opened her eyes slowly and stepped her legs.
Everyone was stunned to see Iris's swordplay. Even Nagato and Litha who were watching from the top of the stands were amazed to see him. According to Nagato the swordplay Iris is a bit similar to Litha.
“Dance Snow Fairy!”
Azuki's sword slash could be frozen by Iris easily. Now that Iris's sword swing speed had increased sharply, not to mention her footsteps moving closer and closer to Azuki meant that Iris was ready to duel with Azuki.
“Defy me duel... Not bad either, but don't be rash..” Azuki also walked up to Iris and released a huge amount of her body aura.
Now that Azuki's sword slash was extremely fast, his sword swing was extremely fast and not easily seen by the eyes. But Iris can clearly see the movement of Azuki's sword swing because she has also been practicing diligently for the past few years for Nagato's sake.
“Fire Beak Round!”
The swords of Iris and Azuki clashed creating a gust of wind that felt cold. Azuki's eyes stared intently at Iris, before long the red-haired girl twisted her body as she smashed her sword to try to attack Iris from the side.
However Iris was able to withstand Azuki's sword slash well. Even Iris's swordplay can compensate for Azuki's swordplay.
Now the two exchanged attacks for ten minutes, before long Iris returned using the same sword technique as before.
“Dance Snow Fairy!”
It was obvious that Iris wanted to show Nagato watching from the top of the stands if he could also fight using a sword.
Iris swordplay again amazes the audience. Iris' attack was very fast and sharp, Azuki wanted to avenge Iris' attack but her neck and hands felt cold.
His eyes widened to see the ice fragments that hit the skin of his hands. Even the scratches of Iris' sword slash all over her body felt extremely cold to Azuki.
“No other choice!” Azuki manipulated the aura of her body into flames to melt the ice stuck all over her body.
Iris did not stop there, now that the beautiful girl controlled her body aura very well. As he fights Azuki in a fierce sword fight.
Iris secretly controls her body aura into ice flakes that attack Azuki and protect her body simultaneously.
“Twin Fire Alarm!”
Azuki swung her sword and used her sword technique to counterattack Iris. A loud sword clash rang out in the middle of the field, Iris was able to withstand Azuki's sword slash without any significant difficulty.
Azuki unleashed her body aura and inner power in large numbers, then the red-haired girl moved faster than before and looked for a gap to attack Iris.
The attacks from the various directions launched by Azuki could not provide any meaningful injuries on Iris' body. Every time Azuki swung her sword, the ice flakes would protect Iris' body. Even the ice chips were just like Hisui's plants that looked like they didn't want to let Hisui get hurt, as well as the ice chips that protected Iris.
“I can't believe my sword technique didn't break through his defenses.” Azuki cursed in her heart. Then he again swung his sword faster than before, yet he did not realize his movements this time came from a mere emotion of anger.
Subconsciously Azuki was not aware of the ice flakes stuck around her body that had spread so quickly. When Iris and Azuki's swords nearly collide, Azuki's body freezes completely except for the head.
The sword held by Azuki fell to the ground, while Iris pointed her sword right at Azuki's neck.
“What is this?” Azuki panicked as she felt her body temperature drop drastically.
Gyuki raised her hand so that Iris did not act any further like when fighting Kirisaki. Slowly Iris's ice sword melted along with the ice that froze Azuki's body also melted.
Azuki was drenched and sat on the ground, while Iris staggered but still tried to look strong.
“I have not been able to fully control the power of the Snow Goddess.” Iris sat in her heart and walked away from Gyuki and Azuki.
“Winner Fuyumi Iris!” Gyuki ended the match and approached Azuki.
Iris glanced at the moment Azuki who was conversing with Gyuki. Before long his eyes tried to stare at Nagato who was looking at him from above the stands.
The boisterous sound of the audience echoing shouted his name, Iris ignored. For him now he just wanted to hear compliments or advice from Nagato about his swordplay.
