Renata felt frustrated because her plan had been uncovered by Azurks. She never expected that her meticulously crafted plan could be easily unraveled. Renata became grumpy after Azurks left.What's even worse is that she couldn't use her clairvoyance on Zorka. It was as if there was a barrier blocking Renata's psychic sight."What is this? Why is my clairvoyance clouded?" Renata grumbled.She tried to use telepathy to reach Azurks to question what he had done after he left the tower where she was confined. However, Renata's efforts were in vain. Azurks seemed to intentionally block her telepathic signal."What is that dragon doing to me?”It turned out that Azurks decided to sever the magic tracking signal on Zorka's body when he changed the boy's face. He did it deliberately to make Renata realize her mistake. Additionally, Azurks also wanted to relieve Zorka's burden of wanting to save his mother. Even though Renata actually didn't need Zorka's help. What Renata needed to do was to
The special treatment of not participating in the second qualifying round made Zenika (Zorka) bored. Eventually, he watched the second round matches.The second round had three parts. The first part was an elemental dominance match, where participants needed a dominant element to destroy the test stones. Many succeeded because this test revealed their true strength.In the second part, participants had to create a weapon from their basic elements, like how Zorka could create an ice knife or lightning ball. They had to demonstrate the ability to manipulate their power into deadly weapons to advance to the third part of the second qualifying round.In the final part, participants had to defeat monsters with the same elemental powers they possessed. The monsters were at a high level, intelligent, and tactical.During the third part, many participants fell. There were no casualties, only severe injuries due to the monsters' formidable skills. This challenged the sorcerers to excel beyond
Ellenasia was taken to the treatment room, her clothes soaked with blood. Demista, having finished his business, went straight to the recovery room. There, Ellenasia was attended to by a healer, a sorcerer specializing in healing magic.In a short time, Ellenasia was healed. However, she still needed ample rest to restore her body's stamina drained after battling the blue bird monster.Demista concealed his worry for his beloved daughter. He believed Ellenasia wasn't weak but rather distracted by some issue. That's why Demista stayed by her side until Ellenasia regained consciousness from her fainting spell.At Demista's request, Ellenasia was moved to a VVIP room for privacy. Demista sat near the window, admiring the beautiful view. Then, Ellenasia woke up."Papa," Ellenasia called out when she saw her father waiting for her.Demista turned as Ellenasia addressed him. Her voice was hoarse and weak, which deepened Demista's concern."Elle, sweetheart. How are you feeling?" Demista ask
The second preliminary round had ended. There was a week's break before the decisive round. This break allowed the injured participants to recover and regain their stamina. Ellenasia took full advantage of this downtime to rest and train, preparing herself to be more focused for the competition. She knew she had to control her emotions; otherwise, her chances of losing were high.Meanwhile, Zenika had finished training in Azurks' dimensional room. He had experienced a significant increase and was now at the High King level, poised to ascend to the rank of Beginner Grand Sorcerer."Not bad! Your level increase was quite rapid this time. Just one step away from reaching the Beginner Grand Sorcerer level!" praised Azurks as Zenika cleaned up in the bathroom of his private chamber."Isn't it said that reaching levels like Demista's is difficult? Why do I feel like achieving the Beginner Grand Sorcerer level is so easy?" asked Zenika as he dried himself off with a towel.Azurks rolled his
After the qualifying rounds, we've now reached the final stage of the competition. Only 30 participants have made it through, including Paroo, Ellenasia, and the three individuals with mastery over the five basic elemental energies. Naturally, Zenika, the wielder of all six basic elements, is also among those in the final round.In this final stage of the competition, there will be matches between participants. It's a single elimination format, meaning once a participant loses, they're eliminated from the arena using their magical skills.This final round will determine the winner who will earn the right to challenge the high-ranking sorcerers and make their desired request known.Zenika finally rejoined the competition, entering the final stage of the decisive round. The organizers allowed him to compete in the last segment due to his level and mastery of basic elements far surpassing that of other participants. Despite his young age, Zenika's power level was well above average. He e
At that moment, Zenika was relentlessly lashing Ellenasia's body with a whip of fire. The young girl curled up, trying to shield herself. The cries of pain echoing in the arena didn't disturb Zenika. His heart was cold and unfeeling. This was Zorka's long-awaited release of years of suffering due to the presence of Ellenasia.The love that Zorka should have received from his father was instead bestowed upon Ellenasia. Years of Ellenasia and Elleanour's disdain for his existence fueled Zorka's rage.Azurks, watching Zenika torture his sister, could only shake his head."Enough, Zorka! Stop!" Azurks commanded telepathically. "The girl could die if you keep torturing her!""She won't die!" retorted Zenika, continuing to wield the whip of fire against Ellenasia."STOP, ZORKA! SHE'S UNCONSCIOUS!" This time, Azurks shouted at Zenika.Zenika was startled. The whip of fire in her hand disappeared. He saw Ellenasia lying powerless, her body covered in blood and burn marks from the fire whip."
Zenika truly won the competition easily. His final opponent, who possessed only four basic elemental powers, had to fight tooth and nail against Zenika. Despite launching deadly attacks multiple times, Zenika easily repelled them and even countered with similar spells.In a short time, Zenika's opponent surrendered from exhaustion, even though Zenika hadn't exerted his full power.Upon learning of Zenika's victory, Demista immediately volunteered to challenge the competition winner."I challenge the winner to face me!" Demista shouted.This announcement caused a stir among all the spectators in the arena, as it was rare for a sorcerer of Demista's stature to challenge such a young opponent.Zenika did not refuse Demista's challenge. Instead, he was eager to face his father. He wanted to prove his strength, which Demista had underestimated."I accept the challenge, Lord Demista!" replied Zenika before leaving the arena. He would face his father in battle the next day.After cleaning up
Demista stood tall, waving his hands. His face was injured from the explosion caused by Zorka's lightning ball."I didn't expect you to injure your father, Zorka!" Demista exclaimed.Zorka created runes combining earth and water magic, forming living mud that pursued Demista, who leapt and floated to avoid Zorka's fierce attacks."This kid's attacks are really troublesome!" thought Demista, surprised at how challenging Zorka's abilities were.The mud enveloped Demista's body, covering him entirely. Suddenly, Zorka's living mud dried up. Demista then shattered the dried mud into dry earth.He immediately countered with electric magic using water from the mud as a catalyst. Zorka was caught off guard and struck by Demista's attack.Zorka convulsed as the electric shock hit his body. However, he quickly moved to a safe place without water to avoid the electric magic.Meanwhile, Demista unleashed a storm of lightning, doubled in intensity. Zorka protected himself with protective runes to
