The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 164: Bullet Reflector and Bullet Destroyer (END)
The last 8 matches of the academy tournament between Chloe and Nadine's senior are still continuing. Chloe continued to fire her fire arrows at senior Nadine. Every time Chloe shot fire arrows from her bow, the arrows increased to 3 times because of the help of the two holes that were above her head. Not only did Chloe continue to attack Nadine's senior, Nadine's senior also continued to attack Chloe with her weapon. Because the tournament arena has turned into a place where many chunks of ice ranging from small chunks of ice to large ones, they both use the ice chunks to protect themselves from each other's attacks.
"It's strange, even though senior Nadine has used area magic but why did she not manipulate the chunks of ice in this arena. Is it possible that he can only turn this arena into a place filled with chunks of ice but cannot manipulate these chunks of ice ? If indeed he could manipulate it, he should have done so long ago and that made me unprofitable. Since she can't manipulate these chunks of ice, it seems like I still have a chance," Chloe thought.
Chloe held onto her arrow bow and prepared to shoot again.
~Fire Explosion Arrows : Sixtuplets~
Chloe fired 6 explosive arrows at Nadine's senior. With the help of the two holes on it, the arrow increased to 18 arrows. Senior Nadine shot some of the arrows until they froze and disintegrated and avoided the rest. Some arrows hit the chunks of ice in the arena. Although the arrow that hit the ice was an explosive arrow, none of the arrows had managed to destroy the chunks of ice.
"This ice cube is so hard. Normally the ice will be destroyed when exposed to an explosion and melted when close to the fire. But some of my arrows can't even smash and melt these chunks of ice, ' Chloe thought.
Seeing Chloe not firing her arrow anymore, Nadine's senior puts in some new bullets she makes and shoots them at Chloe.
*DOR
The bullet was fired and the target was Chloe's head. But Chloe found out, she dodged it by moving her head down before it hit her head.
"Almost. Even though it looks like it's a blunt bullet, getting hit by it still hurts" Chloe thought.
Suddenly, Chloe's right back shoulder is hit by an attack. Chloe directly held her right back shoulder with her left hand.
"Ack.it hurts," said Chloe.
He also looked at his left palm that had just been used to hold his shoulder that was hit by the attack. On his left hand was a lot of blood.
"Blood ? Did I get a bullet ? but it's not like I've dodged the bullet and Nadine's senior hasn't fired his rifle yet" said the surprised Chloe.
"It seems you're confused by what happened huh, Chloe's daughter. Then let me do it again so that you understand by yourself," said senior Nadine.
Senior Nadine fired her rifle at Chloe again.
*DOR
But Chloe managed to avoid it again. Chloe then looked back at the bullet. The bullet hit one of the chunks of ice in the arena. When it hit the ice, the bullet immediately bounced back towards Chloe faster. Chloe was surprised to see that and could not react. He was hit by a bullet that bounced right on his left leg.
His leg was bleeding after being hit by the bullet.
"So yes, it was appropriate that the first shot I was still hit by an attack even though I had avoided it. So the bullet can bounce off" Chloe said.
"Right, the bullet I was wearing was ~Ice Reflecting Bullet~. These bullets can bounce off objects made of ice or snow,"
"I can indeed use area magic and turn this tournament arena into a place filled with other chunks of ice. But unlike Amelia's daughter, I can't manipulate objects on this area's magic directly. But at least I can manipulate the magic of this area in other ways, one of them with this reflecting bullet" said senior Nadine.
"So you said you wouldn't use a live bullet, senior. But why did the bullet make me bleed like this" Chloe said.
"That's a blunt bullet really, just try to feel it when you get hit by the bullet right before it bounces. After bouncing, the bullet increased its speed and of course its sharpness. But take it easy, even though the bullet got sharper, it wasn't as sharp as it could penetrate your body. So don't worry" said senior Nadine.
"After being told that, it made me worry" Chloe said.
Senior Nadine started firing her rifle again.
*DOR
Chloe managed to dodge the bullet. The bullet then bounces and returns to Chloe. But Chloe also managed to dodge the bullet. The bullet continued to bounce even though Chloe managed to dodge it. Each bullet bounced, the bullet grew faster.
Senior Nadine then fired her rifle again towards Chloe.
*dor

4 Shots with the same bullet were fired towards Chloe. Chloe managed to dodge the 4 bullets, but the 4 bullets hit the chunk of ice behind Chloe and started bouncing back towards Chloe.
"No way, 1 then plus 4, so I have to avoid 5 bullets that bounce at once?" said Chloe who was surprised.
"Do you think I'll just shoot 1 bullet, Chloe's daughter ? It's a tournament, of course I have to do whatever it takes to win. Didn't you say earlier that you didn't want me to give up either?" asked senior Nadine.
"Ahahaha right too, then." said Chloe as she placed her bow behind her body.
~Fire Magic: Create Magic Weapon: Dual Fire Dagger~
Chloe created two fire daggers. Meanwhile, those 5 bouncing bullets started to point towards his body.
~Quintuplets Double Slash~
Before the 5 bullets hit her body, Chloe cut the five. The five bullets that were cut fell onto the arena floor.
"......I won't budge either, senior. So don't protest if I attack you at close range" Chloe said.
"Of course I won't protest because I have often faced opponents who can use melee attacks" said senior Nadine.
"It looks like I have to use the bullet" said Nadine.
Before Chloe approached Nadine's senior, Nadine's senior made a new bullet and began to put it in her rifle. The bullet was fired but the bullet was not fired at Chloe but into a chunk of ice nearby. Chloe was confused to see what Nadine's senior was doing.
"Why did senior Nadine shoot into the chunk of ice beside me?" thought Chloe.
The bullet fired by senior Nadine hit the ice and the ice chunk was crushed into small fragments. Chloe was surprised to see that the chunk of ice could be destroyed because all this time the arrow alone could not destroy and melt the chunk of ice. Then the small ice fragments spread in all directions including towards Chloe. Seeing the tiny ice shards pointing at her, Chloe instantly dodged the tiny ice shards. But not all the small ice fragments he managed to avoid, some of the ice fragments managed to hit his body and pierced his body like a needle. Chloe groaned in pain after being hit by the tiny ice shards and made her stop her steps to get close to senior Nadine.
"Since the ice shards are quite small, it is impossible for you to fend them off with your two blades, so you prefer to avoid them. But it's a pity because the ice shards are quite a lot, so you can't avoid everything" said senior Nadine.
Senior Nadine was sweating and her breathing was short. It seems like senior Nadine is already quite exhausted.
"What kind of bullet did you wear earlier, senior ? Why would that bullet destroy a chunk of ice that even my arrow can't destroy?" asked Chloe.
"~Ice Crush Bullet~, this bullet can crush ice-shaped objects. No matter how hard the object was, as long as it was made of ice, it must have been destroyed. And once it is destroyed, the fragments of the object will spread everywhere. I can also be hit by fragments of the object but I can predict the exact position so as not to be hit by fragments of the object" said senior Nadine.
"That's it," said Chloe.
"So are you going to give up now, Chloe's daughter?," asked senior Nadine.
Senior Nadine said that after seeing Chloe's body which was already covered with quite a lot of injuries. The wound was obtained from the bullet attack and the ice shrapnel attack just now.
"Redy ? how could I have given up while my mom was watching" Chloe said.
After saying that, Chloe quickly headed straight for Nadine's senior. Chloe prepares to attack senior Nadine with her daggers but senior Nadine seems calm even after seeing Chloe quickly make her way over.
"I'm sorry to have asked that, Chloe's daughter," said Nadine.
Suddenly in his senior hand Nadine appeared a small rifle. The gun was pointed directly at Chloe's body.
"A small one-handed rifle ? True too, I almost forgot that when he first appeared, he was carrying 2 rifles, namely 1 long rifle 2 hands and 1 small rifle 1 hand. Why do I remember this ? So all this time he's been hiding the other rifle, "chloe thought.
"A long-range strike isn't my only skill, Chloe's daughter" said Nadine.
*Dor *Dor *Dor *Dor *Dor
Senior Nadine fired 5 bullets from her small rifle into Chloe's stomach and chest. The shot stops Chloe from attacking Nadine's senior. Chloe was whimpering in pain while sitting down after being hit by the shot. Seeing Chloe sitting down, Senior Nadine pointed her rifle at Chloe.
"This is the end, Chloe's daughter" said Nadine.
"No, it's not over" Chloe said.
Knowing that Nadine's senior is within her strike range, Chloe immediately attacks Nadine's senior.
~Double Flaming Slash~
The slashes of the two fire daggers belonging to Chloe also managed to hit senior Nadine right on her body. Senior Nadine whimpered in pain and immediately stepped back backwards. Chloe quickly approached him.
~San Fulgen Art Fire Technique: Fire Dagger Illusion Movement~
Chloe attacked Nadine's senior repeatedly using her two fire daggers. Senior Nadine tried to fend off and dodge the attack, but the attack hit her anyway. When the attack hit his head, he tried to dodge it by moving his head but the attack on his head was an illusion. The original attack led to another part of his body and managed to make a wound on that part of the body. The reason senior Nadine continued to be hit by the attack was because she could not tell which attack was genuine and which attack was illusory. Chloe continued to attack Nadine's senior in a row until Nadine's senior body began to be filled with many dagger scratches.
"I will lose if I continue to be exposed to these attacks and also I am starting to get tired. Looks like I have to use that technique to win this match," senior Nadine thought.
Amidst Chloe's constant attacks, Nadine's senior suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He doesn't care about Chloe's attack hitting him and stays focused on doing that. Then after a while, senior Nadine began to open her eyes again.
~San Lucia Art: Magic Martial Art Technique~
Senior Nadine suddenly used a magic martial arts technique, both of her hands were currently coated in ice magic which made both of her hands emit a kind of ice fog.
~Vision Improvement~
Senior Nadine also improved her eyesight. Although from the beginning the vision of senior Nadine was already good because she was a long-range weapon user, but she improved her eyesight again.
Meanwhile, Chloe continuously attacked Nadine's senior. At first, Nadine's senior is still hit by Chloe's attack, but over time she manages to avoid all attacks belonging to Chloe.
"Why all of a sudden can senior Nadine dodge all of my attacks?," thought the surprised Chloe.
Meanwhile, the ice magic that was lining Nadine's senior hand over time became extremely concentrated.
"This is my last attack" said senior Nadine.
Chloe again attacked Nadine's senior but Nadine's senior again managed to dodge the attack. When he saw that there was an open gap in Chloe's defense, senior Nadine directly attacked Chloe with palm punches from both her hands that were coated in ice magic.
~San Lucia Art : Iceberg Crush~
The punches from both of Nadine's senior palms hit Chloe's stomach in a landslide. Chloe spewed some blood from her mouth after being hit by the blow and was immediately thrown into the chunks of ice behind her until it shattered. The impact of the blow made the ice chunks around them crumble and made all the ice chunks in the arena so that the ice chunks were easier to destroy. This is the reason why when Chloe hits the iceberg, it can break.
Chloe continued to be thrown into several chunks of ice until it finally came to a halt before hitting the arena wall. Chloe fell to the floor of the arena with many wounds and blood on her body. Chloe was lying on the floor of the arena unconscious.
Meanwhile, senior Nadine fell to her feet after making the blow. He looked very exhausted from continuing to breathe while panting. He tried to stand up but could not. He fell back down and slowly he began to fall laying himself on the arena floor.
