The captains were struck with shock as they witnessed Alec decapitate Albert’s head.
“That boy has awakened mental energy at just the Tier 4 realm, and he’s done so without any support from any Tier 6 spirit set equipment, he even managed to bypass Albert’s mental scan, which can only mean one thing: his mental energy is incredibly close to having a control range of twenty meters,” Yama, the captain of the Vajra Academy, remarked.Yama, one of the few captains who had refrained from speaking and chose to simply observe, felt compelled to comment after witnessing the unexpected.Although they were pleased to see the War God Academy putting significant pressure on the Royal Mage Academy and dictating the pace of the fight, but they had never truly entertained the possibility that the War God Academy might emerge victorious.In the back of their minds, they cheered for the underdogs because the harder the Royal Mage Academy was pushed, the more tBeatrice's eyes followed Alec as he flew away, but she quickly redirected her attention back to her own issues, as she curled her fingers, causing visible strands of mana to materialize in the air and wrap themselves around the human Puppet's body.Despite appearing extremely fragile and on the brink of collapse, Beatrice's worries were somewhat quelled by the fact that she had managed to obtain some of Albert's blood. As with a gentle motion, she raised the human Puppet using the mana threads, their strength helping to support its compromised state, the flaming pikes that had previously pinned it down dissipated upon Albert's demise since he was the one who had cast the spell.Once the puppet's body was level with her own, Beatrice carefully poured out the collected blood, swiftly returning the tube to her space ring, as the blood was suspended mid air by some type of force, extending her right index finger, she began to inscribe intricate symbols in the air.
As Alec and Liam finally clashed, the crowd watched in anticipation, attempting to discern the outcome of their lightning-fast exchange, Liam, moving like a blur, brushed past Alec, leaving the spectators in awe and unsure of who had struck whom first.Alec was the first to turn around, only for the crowd to discover a deep cut across his chest. However, to his surprise, no blood dripped from the wound. It was covered by the same black ice as Pale’s variant ice power, making him feel increased weight but manageable, as the realization left Alec astonished, he had believed such powers to be exceedingly rare, and he hadn’t expected to encounter another mage with the same abilities as Pale.Initially, Alec had been on high alert, expecting Liam to unleash a time spell, as he is rumoured to be a time Mage, even the crowd, who already believe that Liam had the upper hand, was shocked when Liam, too, turned towards Alec, and they saw a line of blood streaking d
As the implications of the match outcome sank in, the crowd erupted in astonishment. However, the VIP spectators and the representatives from the other seven great academies were left in a state of confusion and silence.“What is going to happen now?, I feel like we’ve deviated from the planned script,” Damien voiced his disbelief, the victory of the War God Academy seemed too easy to comprehend.The sense remained for them that the match wasn’t truly concluded, and that a continuation should have followed. Yet, unfortunate for them, this was indeed the end, and there would be no rematch, as the team they had considered favourites had unequivocally lost.“What the hell was the captain of the Royal Mage Academy thinking? Not only did he lose foolishly, but he also failed to expose the powers of that War God Academy brat, the only thing we know about him is his ability to summon golems,” Remarked Derek, the captain of Onyx Academy, frustration evident in his words, rising from his ch
The cover that surrounded the arena of the Colosseum finally retracted back, allowing the crowd to see the teams that have just participated in one of their best battles since the competition began The two teams stared at each other intently, however, Alec found himself bearing the brunt of both admiration and criticism as his name was chanted, while he received abundant praise, it came with a fair share of animosity since he was responsible for eliminating the favourite team of the capital residents. Now, all eyes were on the War God Academy team, not as failures trying to rewrite history that had once taken place, but as fan favourites due to the intensity and captivating nature of their battles.Most students from ordinary academies redirected their cheers towards the War God Academy team. Having seen their own academies bow out early, they rallied behind the dark horse that defied expectations and persisted in the competition, it felt as
The five victorious members couldn’t wipe the grins off their faces as they strolled down the passage hall. Waiting for them at the end were the other six members of the team, pumping their fists in excitement, everyone was elated by their victory and advancement to the next stage. However, Selene stood off to the side, hands on her hips, a stern expression on her face.“What’s got you in a sour mood? Did you lose a bet?” Alec asked as he joined the rest of the team, leaving the celebratory hugs and shouts behind.To get a briefing on the situation and ensure everything was alright, he was relieved when she initially shook her head no, but then, to his dismay, she shook her head yes.“ Bet aside, what has me bothered now Is still not serious but it’s making me concern because a future conflict might arise from it,” Selene spoke up, capturing the attention of the team, who had temporarily suspended their jubilation.“So, what’s
“The draw for the second round and the battle format is out!” Selene announced as she burst into a luxurious living room that is attached to different rooms.All members of the War God Academy team looked up from whatever they were doing and eagerly approached Selene, keen to find out who they would be facing next.When they checked the realm levels of the remaining academy team members, it gave them quite a fright. However, after thinking about it for a moment, they realized that every team they had defeated so far had been strong, not weak or equal to them in strength. And the feeling of emerging victorious against such formidable teams was exhilarating, surpassing even the excitement of hearing the crowd’s cheers.“Are we the first match this time?” Lucas asked.“No, we’re not,” Selene replied.“That’s better, opening the competition was quite awkward, thankfully, we’re not first this time,” Arthur said with relie
Nightfall had finally arrived, inducing a sense of nervous anticipation within every member of the War God Academy team as the second round of the inter-academy competition approached. In their respective rooms, most of the team focused diligently on cultivating since Alec kept providing them cultivation pills, Selene had been curious about the source of these pills and had considered asking Alec about it on multiple occasions. However, in order to avoid putting him in an awkward position, she refrained from doing so, initially, the team members were hesitant to continue collecting the pills, fully aware of their significant value. Yet, over time, they grew accustomed to the arrangement, in fact, they shamelessly competed for the pills, as Alec constantly found ways to secure additional sets for them. Having heeded Alec's advice to allow the residual energy from the pills to dissipate, they temporarily stopped consuming them in order to exhaust the
The two mages who had entered with the recently killed one were staring at his severed head in shock, they didn’t move an inch from where they stood.Despite both being at the peak of the Tier 4 Mage Realm, they recognized that the fallen mage, was a high Tier 5, and had been the strongest among them and was therefore allowed to lead by their master. But his head had been severed with a single swipe, leaving them puzzled and uncertain about whether to advance or retreat—either option seemed fraught with peril. If they retreated, their master would surely punish them; advancing seemed to promise only certain death, especially when they saw the fierce determination in Alec’s eyes.Swoosh!While Alec pondered his next move, two golden rods shot towards the two Tier 5 mages at incredible speed. The first mage managed to raise his blade and deflect the attack, but the second was less fortunate, as the golden rod pierced his neck.<
