My Girlfriends Are Hardcore Yanderes - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Artifacts Part 2
‘And he still hasn’t used his other items yet,’ Asher sighed.

He had been too complacent just because he was more powerful. This was the same case that happened to him back when he was still a student, where he would always hold back and not do his best.

Suddenly, the attacks stopped.

“I’m giving you a break so you can at least make this more interesting for me,” Abir taunted. “So how about you stop using body-enhancing spells and cast a real spell for once?”

“Body-enhancing spell?” Asher repeated.

“But I haven’t cast anything yet.” He wasn’t taunting his opponent—he was just telling the truth.

Abir’s face contorted with frustration. His jaw clenched as he pointed an accusatory finger.

“You’re lying!” he shouted. “You’re using some kind of spell to enhance your body! There’s no way you could dodge all my attacks without it!”

Asher shook his head, deciding there was no point in explaining. It was better to let his actions speak for themselves.

“Let me show you what it feels like when I cast a spell.”

“Fortitudo Augenda”

“Celeritas Augenda”

“Agilitas Augenda”

“Vigor Augenda”

“Perdurantia Augenda”

With each incantation, a different colored light glowed across his body five times before fading away.

“You should keep your guard up,” Asher warned.

“You can’t fool me,” Abir sneered in contempt . His gaze was locked on Asher, who lightly hopped on the ground, flexing his legs. It was the first time Abir had ever seen someone move like this.

SWOOOOSH!

Without warning, Asher vanished.

Abir barely had time to react before Asher reappeared in front of him, his leg snapping out like a whip aiming for the head.

The water serpent reacted instantly, coiling and expanding to block the strike.

BOOM!

The force of the kick sent ripples through the serpent’s form, but it held firm, protecting its master.

Asher didn’t pause. He was already in mid-air, twisting to land behind Abir, his fist extended. The serpent lunged, blocking the punch, but Asher was already gone, vanishing into thin air.

Abir’s eyes darted, trying to track him, but Asher was so fast it was as if he was in multiple places at once.

BOOM!

Another strike came from behind his back. If it hadn’t been for the water serpent’s automatic defense, the attack would’ve landed, and he would’ve already been on the ground.

‘Damn it,’ Abir cursed, frustration rising in his chest. ‘Is he really a sorcerer? Why do I feel like I’m fighting a legendary warrior?!’

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

Asher’s attacks kept coming, relentless and blindingly fast. His opponent couldn’t keep up at all.

BOOOM!

With one powerful kick, the water serpent was pushed back, its form faltering for a split second.

Abir staggered, but before he could react, Asher was on him again, his strikes coming faster than his defense could protect him.

Punches, kicks, and jabs filled the air, each one landing with force.

The water serpent struggled to keep up, and with one powerful punch, Asher broke through its defense, landing a hit that sliced past the protective barrier.

The air pressure from the blow rushed past Abir’s face, blowing his hair back, so close that he felt the sting of the force.

But just as the punch was about to land, Asher stopped mid-motion before vanishing in the blink of an eye. He reappeared a few meters away.

His movements were too fast, it was as if he was teleporting. The crowd, having watched the battle in awe, couldn’t contain their amazement any longer.

“Did you see that?!” a student shouted, breathless. “He’s dodging everything! Can a body-enhancing spell make you move like that?”

“I don’t know, but he’s really fast,” another voice yelled in awe.

“That’s not just speed… It’s insane!” someone else added, unable to process what they were seeing.

They had expected a battle between two powerful sorcerers, but what they were witnessing now was something far more intense.

Meanwhile, up in the royal platform, the mood was different. Nala leaned forward in her seat, eyes narrowed as she watched the fight unfold.

She couldn’t conceal her surprise. The way Asher effortlessly dominated his opponent was nothing short of breathtaking.

Lucia, on the other hand, watched with mixed emotions. She had never imagined Asher would be this deadly in close-quarter combat.

Normally, such tactics against a sorcerer would be suicidal, but if someone could move extremely fast, it could counter sorcerers who needed time to cast spells.

‘If he actually tried to kill me, would I be able to stop him?’

She glanced at him again, her gaze scrutinizing, recalling every movement. His strikes were so fast that she couldn’t imagine reacting in time if he turned those same skills toward her.

‘I need to create a spell that can counter his speed,’ she muttered, her mind already racing for solutions.

Little did she know, this wasn’t even his maxed speed.

To everyone, it looked like he was disappearing in an instant, but that was only because their reaction time was too slow to follow.

In face, his movements were barely pushing his limits. When he had faced Kitsune, he had been even faster, overloaded with pure energy.

Back on the stage, Abir took a deep breath, his focus intensifying. The rings on his fingers began to glow, each one pulsing with power as he muttered a long incantation.

THUD!

He slammed the base of his staff into the ground. The floor trembled, and his aura surged around him like a storm. Next, he raised his staff high above his head, chanting once more.

“From the depths where the tides never end, rise and obey my call, Serpent of the Infinite Waters!”

The figure on the staff responded, its body coiling and writhing before leaping off the staff, expanding rapidly.

It transformed into a massive, real serpent, its scales glistening like polished stone. The air grew heavy with energy, crackling around them as the creature grew larger, its presence overwhelming.

The cost of this spell was immense, and as the serpent completed its transformation, the rings shattered after being fully drained.

‘Summoning Magic?’ Asher was genuinely surprised. He had never encountered a spell like this.

Creating consciousness in the void was impossible, so neither he nor Index had ever bothered with such a concept.

‘I knew it, Magic is truly infinite,’

For someone like him, discovering a new type of magic was satisfying, a reminder of just how much there was still to explore.

It was true that his knowledge of magic was far superior to most, but it was still limited by Index’s research, which itself was constrained by the void.

“HISSSSS!” The serpent’s tongue flicked, its massive head moving in preparation. Asher could see in its eyes that it was exited to devour him.

“Are you speechless by my power?” Abir mocked, his tone oozing with arrogance. He mistook his opponent’s silence for fear.

“I’m not gonna lie, I’m impressed. To think that such a spell exists,” Asher’s voice was calm, and there was a flicker of curiosity in his eyes. He wondered how the serpent had grown so large or how it even possessed intelligence.

‘I’ll have to study this more when I have the time,’ he added.
