Despite what others may have thought, in this moment, all Damien and Cassandra could focus on was defeating their opponent.
Cassandra wielded the halberd with such skill and proficiency that the crowd found themselves questioning where her true expertise lay.As not only had she displayed mastery with her dual blades at the start of the battle, but she also effortlessly handled the Enormous Great sword, causing others to doubt their perception of its weight.However, when the sword clashed against Carmilla, spectators realized they had underestimated the true power behind the weapon.Just as they thought they had seen it all, Cassandra now fought bare-fisted and seamlessly transitioned to wielding a halberd, pushing through a series of spearheaded blood chains aimed at her.–“Man, I have to say, that’s a strong clanswoman you have there. If she is being pushed out of the clan just like you were, then I’m really starting to doThe Grand Arena erupted in cheers as Cassandra closed the distance to Damien, wasting no time in thrusting her halberd towards him. The fans of the Bloodline Academy gasped in Shock as the halberd swiftly closed the gap between them, resembling a bolt of lightning, as it shot forth with bright light.“Puchi!” The halberd made contact with Damien, but the scene that the Holy Grail Academy fans had been hoping for did not occur. Instead, Damien’s body scattered into tiny bats, which flew away and reconvened on the other side of the arena. There, Damien’s body reconstructed itself, but this time he wielded a unique-looking blood red spear.The spear, approximately six feet in length, appeared to be crafted from a dark, dense wood. It was polished to a high sheen and adorned with intricate patterns of swirling, thorn-like filigree, the carvings embedded reddish copper, while runes adorned the supple leather wrapping a
As Damien was declared the winner, Cassandra simply relaxed her body, unlike the others who may have had unresolved feelings about losing, she showed no signs of disappointment or attitude despite the fact that she had been the one dominating the fight since the start of the match.Taking the loss in stride, Cassandra maintained her perfectly blank expression as her great sword flashed with white light, returning to her space ring.Without even casting a glance back at Damien, she began to calmly walk down the battle ring. This provoked a sneer from Damien, he knew that he hadn't won in the manner he had hoped, but defeating the formidable Cassandra without such tactics would have regardless be close impossible as he was unsure who would survive at the end. The moment Cassandra stepped down from the battle ring, Damien swiftly summoned healing pills from his space ring.Using his left hand, he removed the cover and consumed the pills, a
"Damien, will you continue?" the red-haired referee inquired, his gaze fixed on Damien, whose right hand had just regenerated. The crowd watched in fascination as tissues and muscles intertwined, knitting together until the flesh completely enveloped his Right hand."Yes, I will continue!" Damien declared, a smile on his face as he flexed his right hand, demonstrating to the referee his readiness to resume the fight."Alright, if you say so," the referee conceded. He then turned toward the Holy Grail Academy stands, as the referee's eyes met theirs, Gabriel shifted his gaze to Julian, who was looking down at the ground."You don't need my permission, if you're eager to fight, go ahead, Michael only warned against letting you face the lady, And hey, if you do end up losing, don't do it disgracefully”“ I don't want any more of my team members needing critical healing at this stage of the competition," Julian, the captain of the Holy
# Vip section “Damien really is a daredevil,” remarked one observer. “He hasn’t even won the match against Cassandra yet, and he made plans for the next battle.”“I don’t even know how to describe his confidence, the way he has strategized in advance clearly shows how much faith he has in himself, for a mage to possess such unwavering determination, it’s evident that he’ll go far on his cultivation journey,” another person added.Words like these circulated among the individuals seated in the VIP section as they nodded in approval of Damien’s strategies, momentarily forgetting the fact that he had come close to losing the previous battle despite all his strategic planning playedHowever, it was ultimately his ability to catch Cassandra by surprise at the very end that made all the difference. “See, this is what they mean when they say the winners write history,” reflected the Dean of the Bloodline Academy in a conversation wit
“It’s been quite a while, Damien, how have you been?” Marcus greeted, settling into a horse stance and stretching his arms outward while pushing his right leg forward.“Don’t talk to me as if we’re buddies, the last time we met, you tried to kill me, remember? It’s time for me to pay you back,” Damien retorted, swiping his hand and summoning a pitch-black sword with red cracks.“If you said that when you were in a better state, maybe I would have believed it, but how do you plan to defeat me with your current mana state? If you want, I can give you a little break,” Marcus teased, but Damien chuckled.“We both know you won’t do that, so stop pretending to be nice and come at me, as for Mana, you don’t have to worry. I may not be at my best, but I managed to draw some blood from your previous teammate.” “ Although converting his blood energy to mana will cause me to lose some of it in the process,” Damien explained.“But it’s sti
The entire crowd remained entranced, their eyes fixated on the massive blood dome that enveloped the battle ring. It all began when Damien started casting the [Blood Mist] spell, and it soon became clear to them that his intentions extended beyond obstructing Marcus’s vision. Damien had strategically placed runes around the battle ring while obstructing Marcus’s vision, the runes are what activated the domain, so he had his blood clone diverted Marcus’s attention for a while and that’s why, It was only now that Marcus realized he had been ensnared within a sprawling blood dome. Initially the crowd perceived his attempt as a mere tool to impair Marcus’s sight, but the spectators are beginning to comprehend its true purpose, and that is to disrupt Marcus’s senses entirely.They came to this realization because they had witnessed Damien’s actions first-hand. Although the blood dome obscured their view, the screen ab
“Dragov Dragonmir, it’s your turn to take the stage!” The red-haired referee called out, since Damien had been escorted out of the battle ring by the reserve team of the Bloodline Academy. Now, it was only Marcus Sanctus who awaited Dragov for the climactic final match to commence at the battle ring.Without hesitation, Dragov rose from his seat and began his deliberate stride toward the battle ring, the resounding drag of his battle axe accompanying each of his slow yet steadfast steps as he made his way to the battle ring stairs.“Dragov!!!” The fans of the Bloodline Academy erupted in cheers, their voices ringing out even before he set foot in the arena.It was as if they were summoning him to make things right, to secure victory for their Academy team. To them, Dragov was not only the last warrior standing but also the captain of their Academy squad. And they placed the weight of their academy’s ambitions squarely on
As the light beam hurtled towards Dragov at incredible speed, the crowd eagerly awaited the outcome, their eyes fixed on the intense spectacle.Among the spectators, a few fans of the Bloodline Academy grew increasingly concerned for Dragov’s well-being. But despite their worry, they knew that convincing him to evade the impending attack would be futile. Dragov was the type of person who relished in challenges, and if he hadn’t been willing to face them head-on, he would never have allowed Marcus to unleash such a powerful assault against him in the first place. Marcus’s strategy of channelling the light beam after a brief moment of charging was a prudent move. As no seasoned Mage in their right minds would willingly grant their opponent the opportunity and time to gather such a devastating spell that could leave them in a perilous state. Had Marcus attempted the same tactic against Damien, he would have nimbly rushed forwar
