As soon as the crowd learned that one of the Great Eight Academies from the previous year would be competing, the cheers escalated to an unprecedented level.
The atmosphere was electric, surpassing the excitement that had greeted the introduction of the Crimson Rose Academy.“The mage leading them into this match is their Vice-Captain, Damien Sorin, a High Tier 5 Mage, accompanied by his sister, Carmilla Sorin, also a High Tier 5 Mage. Following them are Soren Dragonmir, a Low Tier 5 Mage, Connor Lupus, a Low Tier 5 Mage, and finally, Kira Nightfang, a Low Tier 5 Mage,” the referee announced, prompting the crowd to erupt into cheers once more as the members of the Bloodline Academy was listed.“As expected of one of the Great Eight Academies, they’re always keen to flaunt their formidable strength,” a spectator commented.“Why shouldn’t they show off? They have the credentials and the capability, but it seems they’re looking down on the CrimsonAs the smoke finally cleared, Aria was surprised to see Damien smirking at her, he appeared unscathed, with only a few dishevelled strands of hair and a small scratch on the left side of his face. “Tch! I don’t believe the mages of the Great Eight Academies are invincible; I just believe I’m invincible,” Damien said, but Aria was too preoccupied with examining the material of his uniform to pay much attention to his words. Suddenly, Damien seemed to materialize in front of her, his outstretched hand moving to clamp down on her throat. “It seems you’ve finally realized that I’m wearing Tier 5 spirit clothes engraved with defensive and protection runes., so you’ll need more than a weak blow to hurt me,” Damien said as he closed in on her, almost strangling her. Taken aback by his sudden appearance, Aria swiftly deflected Damien’s hand with her left hand, feeling a surge of anger at him as he was still attacking with one-hand,
Ethan couldn’t fathom how Damien had managed to bring Seraphina under his control, but he quickly realized he was at a significant disadvantage, particularly if Damien decided to join the onslaught he was currently fending off.Ethan restrained himself, not wanting to seriously injure Seraphina just because she was under Damien’s control, yet she showed no such hesitation, her light blade was faster as she clashed against his stone fists and sliced through his earth spikes with ease, as if cutting through butter.As both Ethan and Seraphina unleashed their martial skills to the max, Ethan disregarded Damien, deducing that he wasn’t going to intervene since he seemed content observing the battle like a spectator, Ethan felt slighted by this, but he was fully aware that he was far less powerful than Damien.Bang!A resounding explosion echoed, not from Ethan and Seraphina’s clash, but from Damien, who had been struck by a massive firebomb set off
Selene, Alec, and the rest of the team made their way back to the inn after the battle between the Bloodline Academy and the Crimson Rose Academy. The matches for the day had concluded , with another round set to take place the following day.As they walked, the team engaged in a discussion about the significance of securing a qualification to enter the top 8 rankings, sixteen academies had been invited, with eight based on the previous rankings and another eight added to complete the line-up, this meant they would have to challenge the “Great Eight” to earn a spot.While his teammates were filled with jubilation and a lil celebration, Alec’s thoughts lingered on what he had witnessed in the Colosseum. The power and skills showcased by Damien were enough to qualify him as peak-tier 5 mages, even though he had not officially reached that realm. Alec couldn’t help but recognize that Damien’s execution of blood magic was on an entirely different
[ Pick a Mid Tier Spell to synchronise with] - Flame Wheels- Rock Fangs- Earthen Spikes- Sandstorm- Petrify- Boulder TossAlec marvelled at the thorough organization of the spells he had read, however, when he saw Boulder Toss spell, his interest waned, as it seemed redundant to him as he could already achieve something similar by combining his earth mana with gravity manipulation.On the other hand, spells like Rock Fangs, that was created by his master, and Petrify, which is reputed to be the most challenging Mid Tier spell to master, intrigued Alec. He sensed that choosing either of those spells would lead to surprising developments.Nevertheless, he made the decision to synchronize with Flame Wheels first, as it was the only flame-based mid-tier spell on the list, and Alec saw no reason to delay, confirming his choice, the synchronization process began.[> Synchronizing complete.]<
Alec observed as the eyes of the astral projection underwent a transformation, in that moment, he felt a peculiar pressure emanating from the figure before him. It wasn’t the typical pressure that stemmed from someone being stronger; it was a deeper sense of power that made Alec feel insignificant, like a mere speck of dust that could be easily brushed away if he wasn’t cautious.“You punk, this is the second time you’ve awakened a sliver of my consciousness, how are you able to summon me to this space?” Solara questioned, his words throwing Alec off guard, this wasn’t following the script that Alec had anticipated.According to the plan, the astral projection of the mage was supposed to introduce himself and proceed with demonstrating the Fire Wheel spell, imprinting every muscle movement and detail into Alec’s memory to help him grasp the spell completely. However, no matter how Alec tried to explain the situation, it felt as if the real creator o
Even Mad Dog was taken aback by the striking resemblance between Alec and Rae, however, he refrained from asking any questions when he noticed how completely engrossed Alec was in watching Rae’s every move.Rae unsheathed his blade and swung it towards the Dragoniac, his movements appeared deliberate and slow, yet something seemed to defy the laws of physics in that very moment, as soon as his slash concluded, a fire wheel materialized from his blade, severing the left hand of the Dragoniac.Despite the excruciating pain, the Dragoniac didn’t cease its assault, it lunged forward, attempting an unexpected attack to pierce through Rae’s heart with its tail. But to their surprise, another set of fire wheels appeared beneath Rae’s feet, one black and one red. This sudden boost caused him to levitate higher and at a greater speed, swinging his blade through the skies, Rae unleashed countless black and red fire wheels towards the Dragoniac, imposing a sim
No soothsayer was needed to identify the culprit behind the attack on the walls; he stood right before them.“I thought I made it clear that there’s a training room in the basement, and if you wanted to test your spells, you should have gone straight there,” Selene scolded as she materialized before Alec, delivering a firm knock to his head.Selene hissed in frustration as she surveyed the damage once more, Alec, on the other hand, was still reeling from the encounter, Selene had appeared before him with such speed it was almost like instant teleportation.Even as he noticed her hand moving toward his head, he was unable to dodge or block it, he could only watch as she knocked some sense into him.Despite the chastisement, Alec had reasons to be pleased.[> Ding!.][ Mid Tier Spell – Bullet Blast has been integrated into your spells.][ Lvl 2 Branch has finished refining, pay 400,000 System points to harvest all(Y/N)]T
“Is he still down there?” Beatrice asked, casting a sceptical glance at Agnes, who simply nodded in response.Beatrice couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the unreliable individuals that were her superior, as she found herself alone in dealing with the team, morning had arrived, and the issues from the previous night appeared to have settled down.The walls that Alec had demolished had been magically reconstructed, thanks to some form of reconstruction magic that the staffs of the inn used, but Both Alec and Lucas had descended to the training room in the basement after that event.However, Selene also ventured out before they could inquire further what had happened, she had entrusted the affairs of the team to the captain and vice captain, emphasizing the team as their responsibility before vanishing, but Alec hadn’t emerged from the training room and was not even aware of her disappearance .According to Selene, Alec had provided Lucas wi
