While Alec was busy with his own affairs, the rest of the team was preoccupied with theirs, still in disbelief that they had made it to the finals of the Inter-Academy Competition.One person particularly taken aback was Beatrice. The journey had been a rollercoaster ride for her, and now she found herself taking a stroll outside their living quarters, wandering through the open area behind their new home.A small noise caught her attention, and as she turned to its source she realized it was on the other side, so she peered over the fence into the quarters occupied by another team. There, she saw the captain of Onyx Academy, seated cross-legged and deep in cultivation, while his elder sister Morgana sat around, keeping watch as he tried to heal his internal wounds.Noticing that Dorian was merely healing his wounds, Beatrice decided to divert her gaze, only to hear the same sound again, this time louder. It was clear that she wasn’t the only one who heard it; even Morgana, who had
“I hope you know that Dorian is only the representative heir of the Voss family, if you truly want the clan to take you seriously, you’ll need to defeat all four representatives of the next generation,” Morgana said as she finally took her battle stance.“Well, I believe that as long as I’ve dealt with the favoured representative, the rest won’t pose much of a problem for me,” Maria declared as she finally made her move, swinging her blade toward Morgana.Causing dark slashes to fly toward Morgana, who skillfully parried them away before kicking off the ground to close the distance between them. “Just one important question, though, you claim you’ve come to challenge my brother, yet here you are fighting me. Not only that, but you’re extremely weak.” “ If I feel this way, Dorian would feel it too and in a normal match he would be able to decimate you in mere seconds,” Maria said, trying to maintain a conversation with Morgana as if they weren’t trying to kill each other.“You see,
The blade swung back with a blood coated aura, spinning rapidly before decapitating the Arctic Bear in one clean motion. It was as if there was no resistance at all. Alec noticed that the sword continued its return back to Alec even after slaying the bear, causing Alec to quickly summon the Changdao scabbard into his outstretched right hand.The blade rotated back into its sheath smoothly, bringing with it the drained blood from the bear. The bear's body slumped to the ground, completely devoid of blood, as the blade clicked when it finally settled into its sheath, Alec watched as the levitating blood was absorbed by the blade, disappearing entirely."Now that's some cool moves," Alec remarked, noticing the blade vibrating lightly and emitting a blood-red glow.[Changdao due for the next upgrade][One of the seals will be unlocked][30:00]After seeing the system notification, Alec watched as the weapon levitated into the air. 'Even you are going into an upgrade. What's up with all
The moment Alec cast his bloodline spell, his body began to change, bones cracking and muscles twitching almost immediately. The first sensation he felt was the shadow wolf trying to reach out to him. Though it communicated through growls, but Alec could sense and understand what it wanted, it was asking to be released before Alec’s shapeshifting completed. Swiftly, Alec casted another spell before the effects of the shapeshift fully manifested.[> Low Bloodline Spell – Manifest Beast Form – Shadow Wolf <] As soon as Alec invoked this spell, he felt the tattoo representing the shadow wolf on his back was attempting to tear its way out. The process was accompanied by intense pain, but he managed to suppress any sounds, not wanting to show the four demonic beasts analysing him any sign of weakness.Before their eyes, a massive shadow wolf emerged from Alec’s back, slowly returning to its full shape. It was a sight to behold; the sleek, dark fur of the shadow wolf rad
Seeing Alec’s new transformation, the two free demonic beasts could no longer remain idle; as they began to make their way toward him, with the Ice Serpent leading the charge.It slithered through the terrain, leaving a trail of ice in its wake. After their initial encounter, Alec felt more confident that the snake would attack with its tail again, as that seemed to be its primary method of assault. However, as it drew closer, it released a glob of spit from its mouth, at first glance, it appeared to be ordinary, but upon closer inspection, Alec realized the spit was imbued with ice elemental properties. Even though he was unsure of the Ice Serpent's intentions, he was not willing to let the spit touch him, as he extended his right hand, causing his claws to elongate.[> Bloodline Skill – Horned Drake – Metallic Claw Rend <] This skill was one of the awakened abilities of the Golden Horned Drake, and now that Alec had assimilated with it, he could use the skill as well. It was no
Swing!The Butcher’s Thunder Axe crashed down to the ground, releasing a discharge of lightning that sent shockwaves through the nearby demonic beasts. Their bodies quivered involuntarily as the Butcher dashed into their ranks, not even bothering to lift his axe from the ground. The weapon was responsible for the lightning discharge, and to maintain the spell, it had to remain embedded in the ground for a few seconds until the mana infused within it ran out.Taking advantage of their vulnerable state, Butcher unleashed a flurry of punches, his hands moved with such speed that the demonic beasts, still trembling from the lightning strike, could only watch helplessly. They couldn’t track his movements, and in the next instant, Butcher’s hand would plunge deep into their chests.He moved with a frenzy, his hands a blur as they pierced through the chests of the upright beasts and the brains of those on all fours. It was as if his hands were phasing through them, crushing their hear
The fight between Maria Darkbliss and Morgana Voss had just concluded, with Morgana lying on the ground, her body sprawled out as she took deep breaths. Maria, on the other hand, remained standing, though her condition seemed worse than Morgana's, who had clearly lost the battle."How can you be that strong and still be unknown?" Morgana asked, but Maria simply shook her head."Not strong at all, i need to become even stronger," Maria Darkbliss replied, walking away with blood trickling from the corner of her lips.Watching Maria walk away while claiming she wasn't strong enough left Morgana not only surprised but also deeply confused. At the start of their fight, Morgana had been the one pressuring Maria, but it took only a moment for Maria's aura to shift after being cornered for long and defeat her in a single, decisive move.Reflecting on the battle, Morgana realized that the power Maria had unleashed at the ending was so formidable it could easily defeat her brother and might ev
Bang!The head of the gryphon slammed straight into the ground, causing the earth to cave in with numerous cracks as Alec successfully eliminated the beast, by remaining atop its body to shield himself from the fall from such heights. Once he was done, he surveyed the scene around him, only to witness the carnage wrought by the Shadow Wolf on his behalf. The ground was painted with blood, as the Shadow Wolf had not only taken on the wolf pack but had also ensured the ice serpent was completely dealt with, preventing it from causing any interference while Alec was delivering the final blow to the Arctic Gryphon.Alec watched as the Shadow Wolf maneuvered through shadow portals it had opened around the Frost wolf pack, skillfully dispatching the wolves one by one. It was no longer a mere hunt; it was as if Midnight was revelling in the slaughter. The Frost Wolves were no match for Midnight, and their leader could only watch helplessly as Midnight tore through its minions, slowly mak
