The green claw wind blade hurtled towards Michael, and nearly everyone watching had already resigned themselves to the belief that he would not escape unscathed, they thought the referee might just step in at any moment soon to stop the match.
However, just as Connor’s claw wind blade was about to tear through him, a brilliant flash of light enveloped Michael.The light emitted such intense mana fluctuations that it generated a shockwave, sending the wind blade hurtling backwards.The shockwave reached Connor, forcing him to swiftly cross his two hands in an X shape and dig his legs into the ground to prevent himself from being propelled by the force of his opponent’s shockwave, which would have been embarrassing.Connor squinted his light blue eyes, attempting to use his heightened sense of smell to locate Michael, but his keen sense of smell warned him of great danger, causing his body to tremble slightlyConnor strained to loc“Now, that’s not something you see every day!” Damien remarked, sipping from his little flask gin as he observed two mages from their reserved team rushing to the stage to retrieve Connor’s body. They aimed to transport him quickly to the healers, who would treat any injuries before they worsened or developed into hidden ones that could impact his foundations and cultivation speed.“So, have you decided who will be fighting next?” Carmilla Sorin asked Dragov directly, attempting to peek over her brother’s shoulder to catch a glimpse of their captain’s face. However, Damien became irritated and used his hand to push her face away.“I don’t care who fights next, as long as it’s not you,” Damien replied, continuing to push her back.“Ah! That’s not fair, I haven’t had the chance to grace the stage and display my abilities, even that grumpy Connor got a chance,” Carmilla pleaded to her brother, hoping he would allow her to fight.
“Who do you think will win the match?” Vincent asked Selena while Kira Nightfang walked towards the battle ring to face Michael in the second round of the Holy Grail versus the Bloodline Academy. Hearing his question, Selena raised an eyebrow and smirked, not immediately replying.“I understand that Kira is your cousin, but I don’t think she’ll easily win this one, if that’s what you expect to hear from me,” Selena said, causing Vincent to sigh.He had his own suspicions, but he wanted to confirm them, and Selena’s response indicated that things were not progressing as he wished but as he had suspected.“First of all, many are underestimating Michael and thinking he’s making a foolish move, but that is where they’re wrong, he has nothing to lose, this is his second round, and regardless of the outcome of this battle, he still gains, since he’s using his head,” Vlad, the vice captain of the Battle Mage Academy, chimed in.Vincent turn
No one, absolutely no one, had anticipated that the battle would unfold to this stage, as the moment Michael’s eyes started glowing with intense light, Even Damien stood up from his seat, closely watching the outcome with anticipation, the entire crowd was taken aback by Michael’s unexpected sneak attack.Kira Nightfang felt a sense of helplessness as the beam of light shot from Michael’s eyes at lightning speed towards her. Kira rarely doubted her instincts, and at that moment, she began to fear the immediate death that awaited her if the beam were to strike her forehead.As she saw her life flash before her eyes, bracing for the laser to tear through her skull, she suddenly realized she didn’t feel anything after a second, opening her eyes, she was astonished to see the referee with his hands stretched out, effortlessly blocking the attack with only his palm.The referee had successfully kept the attack away from Kira Nightfang.
“Wouldn’t you like to step down and give up while you still have the chance?” Carmilla asked, her gaze fixed on Michael, who appeared on the verge of collapsing.“Why would I do that now, after I’ve gathered all this prestige and morale? My hope is to continue fighting until I can no longer stand,” Michael responded confidently.“ Even in a situation when I fall, I would still be seen as a hero, as I would have the crowd’s support on my side, and whoever replaces me next will receive the fans’ passionate backing, this would fuel their desire to defeat you, the one who has eliminated the one who gave the crowd two straight wins, think about that,” Michael expressed his strategy with a smile, leaving Carmilla to shake her head in disbelief.“No wonder my big brother didn’t want me to face you at first, you truly are a troublesome opponent, especially at full power and when you haven’t even unleashed your innate eye laser spell, no wonder he made sure y
The mages from the War God Academy team remained completely focused on the ongoing match, afraid to divert their attention even for a second, fearing they might miss the crucial moves unfolding before them.Agnes, Sophia, and a few others were all immersed in the intense atmosphere, contemplating what they would do if they were given the opportunity to fight, The matches they were watching had far exceeded their initial expectations.When they imagined facing any of the mages from the Bloodline Academy or the Holy Grail Academy, they couldn’t envision themselves winning. They were aware of the danger posed by such thoughts, as it means they might bow out of the tournament soon . However, while some entertained those doubts, Alec could be seen chuckling mischievously, eliciting curious looks from Arthur and Brandon.It had been a while since they had witnessed that familiar expression on Alec’s face, since he didn’t have a chance to try ex
The air crackled with an eerie energy, swirling in black and purple hues as Carmilla’s hand became engulfed in a vortex of electricity after she snapped her fingers.With a deafening roar, a barrage of black lightning bolts unleashed from Carmilla’s fingertips, each bolt honing in on its target which is CassandraWith unwavering precision. “Shit!” Cassandra, who had remained silent since the start of the fight, cursed as she observed the lightning bolts hurtling toward her. Though they weren’t any larger than the previous [Dark Bolt] spell, but the imminent danger sent alarm bells ringing within her, as she knew at that moment she had to avoid getting struck by this attack.Because the lightning currents that had been coursing around her body, unable to harm her all this while, now surged with increased vigor, seemingly agitated by the new spell directed at her, it was as if every cell in her body screamed against making contact with the
“Give them out! And make sure everyone gets a cultivation pill!” George Gordons laughed heartily as he instructed the boys in charge of cleaning his quarters to distribute the Low Tier cultivation pills he had been hoarding; he had intended to use them for trading with the occasional merchants that visited the Estonia City.But at this moment, he was simply delighted to have invited nearly every Low Tier mage in the clan to receive the pills. Standing behind him not too far were the Grand Elder and the Third Elder, who had effectively become his bodyguard.Although George had claimed that the Third Elder was his new High Rank backup, but the Third Elder was well aware that it was merely a facade. The true reason the patriarch of the Gordons clan had requested his younger brother to stay close was due to persistent paranoia he had about potential attacks against them, and George was determined to avoid a repeat of past events.Taking a sip from
Both Carmilla and Cassandra were sent flying in different directions after their mental image of their Judgment swordsClashed. The golden judgment sword light behind Cassandra fluttered, giving the impression that it was on the verge of being extinguished, on the other hand, the blood-red sword behind Carmilla had visible cracks, indicating that it could shatter at any moment.“So that’s how it is?” Beatrice remarked, drawing Alec’s attention away from the battle.“What did you notice?” Alec inquired.“The blood powers of Carmilla and her brother Damien are quite different, despite them both coming from the same Bloodline, while one might expect them to awaken similar abilities, it appears that is not the case in this situation,” Beatrice explained.“Firstly, Damien possesses the ability to manipulate blood freely, while Carmilla seems to only have blood elemental abilities or limited blood control, maybe it’s about the B
