After hearing the format of the final match, not many people were pleased with it, particularly the supporters of the War God Mage Academy. They believed this new format was designed solely to diminish the War God Academy’s chances of winning the finals. By pitting them against their opponents in this way, they felt Alec would lose the opportunity to exploit weaknesses and continue defeating members of the Bloodline Academy as he had done before against the Vajra AcademyWhile they thought such type of victory against the Bloodline Academy might be impossible, they still didn’t want to risk it considering Alec had showed that he could just summon his golems to stampede a win, and that is why the committee had adhered to the five-match format, hoping it would allow the Bloodline Academy a smoother path to victory.-When the ten minutes were up, the sand in the hourglass had completely drained, disappearing in a puff of smoke. As the smoke cleared, the red-haired referee reappeare

With Alec vouching for his teammate, the referee chose not to intervene, Connor, emboldened by this decision, dashed toward Arthur with renewed confidence. This time, he dropped to all fours, his movements becoming faster and more primal. Arthur initially considered unsheathing the spirit sword strapped to his back but decided against it the moment he saw Connor’s ferocious speed. Instead, he adjusted his stance, lowering his right hand and planting his feet firmly on the ground. The silver gauntlets on Arthur’s hands seemed to enlarge slightly, as faint trails of smoke where escaping from the intricate lines carved along their surface. Bang!A thunderous clash shook the stage as their attacks started. Arthur attempted a direct punch, but Connor’s erratic fighting style allowed him to twist his body just enough to evade. This left Arthur momentarily exposed, and Connor capitalized on the opening, slapping Arthur with a resounding force. The impact reverberated through the

Alec looked up at the skies, sensing the Qi violently gathering there. His eyes widened as he saw a spatial eye slowly forming, still in its infant stage, yet unmistakably a space gate was opening above them all in the skies. Alec wasn’t the only one observing this phenomenon, many in the Royal Grand Arena had also noticed it, but most quickly shifted their gaze back to the stage where the intense fight was still underway as they didn’t even want to miss a second. They seemed unconcerned about the space gates, knowing that attacks rarely happened within the palace grounds. However, Alec frowned when he saw this, as he never would have imagined that the famous Peak Tier space gate that was always talked about was situated directly above the Royal Grand Arena. In that moment, he began to question the wisdom of the Northern Kingdom’s king in insisting the finals be held here. But Alec kept his thoughts to himself, as he lacked the authority to voice such concerns and had no desir

# In the City of EstoniaThe space gate had finally accumulated enough energy, and the moon in the sky turned a deep red, as the small group of mages from the clans and the city guards army gathered to defend against this wave of the Blood Moon War grew increasingly nervous.Many of them gripped their weapons tightly, anxiously awaiting the first goblin to emerge from the space gate, with the gate now fully stabilized, there was movement within the expanded portal, which had widened due to its evolution from a mid to a high rank space gate.But to their surprise, about a thousand figures emerged from the gate every second looking lost and aimlessly walking around, however, the defenders neither charged nor casted spells at the invaders, instead, they appeared perplexed by the situation.“This... This isn’t goblins,” remarked one of the mages from a newly clans that moved into Estonia city, confused by the unexpected appearance of an unknown race.“Idiot! Why are you standing there los

The audience watched intently as the ten small, black slashes from Brandon’s sword soared toward the flaming Qi claw strikes unleashed by Soren. When the two attacks collided, there was no explosion or dramatic display of power. Instead, the black slashes transformed into ten miniature portals, swallowing the fiery claws as if they were being consumed by a black hole. Soren’s eyes widened in confusion as his attack vanished without a trace, before he could comprehend what had occurred, he realized that Brandon had closed the distance between them. While Soren had been anticipating an explosive clash of their attacks, Brandon had continued to use the opportunity to press forward without hesitation. Seeing Brandon approaching rapidly, Soren decided to strike first, but just as he moved to close the gap, Brandon twisted his saber and thrust its hilt toward Soren’s face in an attempt to catch him off guard. However, Soren didn’t fall for the feint, using his left hand, he seized
