Chapter 437 Winners
The crowd erupted into applause as Avery emerged victorious. His strategic use of enhancement spells, combined with the strength and speed of his summon, proved to be too much for a Mind Controller.
Nevertheless, Avery didn’t seem to consider shaking Maurice’s hand as he turned his back and left the stage as soon as the announcement was made. No one commented on this as they realized that Maurice was also exhausted.
He may have won, but the time limit of the Silver-Haired Ape was definitely reaching its end. After all, they could see how the Silver-Haired Ape started appearing illusory like a ghost… It was one of the signs that the summoned creatures were about to return to the Grimoire.
The audience and the panel of experts had all noticed this, so for sure, even the participating students had realized this as well.
‘So I can simply drag the battle for long, and the summon can automatically disappear in 5 minutes or so?’ Vale mused as he was looking at the Grimoire held by Avery.
It seemed a nice strategy, but Vale probably didn’t have to do that much just to defeat this person.
The battle then continued with other academies.
The next duel was from the students of Rakmiths, Academy of Elemental Arts, and Mortimer, Academy of Transformation Arts.
In a display of skill and mastery, Susan, a talented student from the Elemental Arts Academy, emerged victorious. Her control over the elements proved to be a formidable force against Mortimer’s transformations.
Next, the clash between Kildare, Academy of Knights, and Langhorne, Academy of Combat Arts, took center stage. The battle was intense, with both sides showcasing their prowess in combat.
It was a battle between an Arcane Knight and an Aura Master. The battle lasted more than 15 minutes, and both got really tired that it was difficult to tell who would win.
However, it was Geraldine, a fiery red-haired beauty from Kildare Academy, who ultimately emerged as the victor. Her skill with a sword and unwavering determination proved to be the deciding factor.
As the excitement continued to build, it was time for the battle between Adaereth, Academy of Rune Arts, and Aufidius, Academy of Alchemy Arts.
Vale’s interest was piqued as he watched Iris from the Rune Arts Academy and Cathrine from the Alchemy Arts Academy prepare for their duel.
‘I know that Runecasters also use Runic Weapons in their battles… However, I’m not sure about the Alchemy Arts… Are they going to Alchemical Weapons too?’ Vale mused.
In their study of the Twelve Arcane Paths, they’ve only tackled the Achievements of the Alchemy Factions in the field of medicine and craft. However, they didn’t discuss any of their battling achievement.
Iris soon brought out her Runic Weapon in the form of a sword… However, she flipped it with her hand, and it suddenly turned into a whip!
This runic weapon glowed with ancient symbols, pulsating with raw energy.
Across from her, Cathrine can be seen only wearing a cloak on her body. She doesn’t have visible weapons at the very least.
As the battle commenced, Iris swiftly moved across the battlefield, her whip slashing through the air with deadly accuracy.
She was trying to use her distance to attack Cathrine!
Pah! Pah!
Each strike sent waves of runic energy surging toward Cathrine, who deftly evaded the attacks with agile movements…
“That’s useless!” Cathrine shouted as she conjured flames using her unique alchemical mixtures.
Though she lacked the ability to create flames like the Elementalists of the Elemental Arts Faction, her mastery of combustion potions and other alchemical materials allowed her to control and manipulate fire as a formidable weapon.
The clash between the Runic Weapon and Cathrine’s controlled flames created a mesmerizing display of light and heat.
Cathrine, utilizing her alchemical expertise, controlled the powerful flames as they danced and swirled around her.
‘So this is an Alchemist… They use fire to fight with the help of their potions. Interesting.’ Vale mused as he saw Cathrine unleash waves of fire, attempting to engulf Iris in a torrent of heat.
Iris, relying on her agility and the protective enchantments on her Runic Weapon, skillfully dodged and parried each fiery assault.
She soon countered Cathrine’s flames with calculated strikes of her whip, aiming to disrupt her opponent’s focus and control over the fire. It didn’t take her that long to realize that Cathrine required more focus to control those raging flames.
Cathrine, in turn, utilized her alchemical arsenal to create explosive bursts of flame, attempting to overwhelm Iris with sheer intensity. Well, it doesn’t matter if she couldn’t control the fire explosions as long as she wasn’t getting too affected.
As the battle intensified, Iris found herself on the brink of defeat.
Cathrine’s flames grew more fierce and unpredictable, threatening to consume her.
However, Iris, driven by determination and the will to protect her academy’s honor, mustered her remaining strength.
Vale’s eyes widened at the final move she made.
Iris turned her whip back into a sword as she channeled the ancient powers of the runes into a powerful spell.
The runic symbols on her sword glowed brighter than ever, releasing a surge of energy that disrupted Cathrine’s control over the flames. 𝘳.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Vale realized that it had the same essence as his Spell Dispersion, but it was more complicated than what Master Heinz had created for the Malefic Branch!
‘What kind of Rune Arts is this?’ Vale couldn’t help but feel curious.
Then, Iris threw the sword beside Cathrine as it exploded with the disruptive energy!
Crash!
Iris’ runic weapon was destroyed in the process, but it did its job!
Iris managed to disperse the power of the flame! Furthermore, the disruption left Cathrine vulnerable and unconscious due to backlash!
Just like that, Iris won the battle. However, she was also too exhausted and even looked saddened at the fact that her runic weapon was sacrificed for this first victory.
As Vale saw the battle ended, he soon heard the Headmaster’s voice inside his head.
“Vale… Did you have problems in your duel a while ago?”
Vale didn’t hesitate and answered immediately.
“Yes, Headmaster. There was Formation Art that stopped me from using Dark Arts.”
