"This.." amidst the shocked exclaimations echoing around her , Oge's brows narrowed as she watched the Hex Tome of her opponent slowly crumbled into bits of light shimmers. Sensing something, the Soles of Oge's feet slammed against the ground as she made a swift retreat a couple feet back. However, Oge soon realized her caution was uncalled for because she noticed the shimmer of light completely ignored her, instead drilling straight into the forehead of the Ice Magi. At first, the brows of the Ice Magi furrowed as she appeared to be suppressing intense pain but that expression soon vanished as the shimmer of light continued drilling into her forehead. "W--What are you just standing there for?! stop her!" "D--Don't tell me she's paralyzed from fear?!' "Why is everyone panicking big bro?" ... "Hmph. You should've taken their advice.." a sneer rang out from the lips of the Ice Magi as the shimmer of light completely drilled into her forehead. "I can obviously tell that you're exp

Tap! Landing softly against the ruptured surface of the dueling stage that had a rune matrix rapidly flickering in an unstable manner as it tried remending itself, Oge calmly walked towards the edge of the dueling stage. Weng! Weng! Weng! The marigold flowers around her flickered as they merged together, transforming back into two thirds of a saber that silently rejoined itself with the remaining one third floating above Oge. "Y--You!" staring at her small-sized opponent closing in on her, the Ice Magi felt a wave of dizziness overwhelm her as if felt like she was standing face-to-face before a terrifying mammoth sized giant."W--Why are you this powerful?" she nearly suffered from a complete mental breakdown. Even after revealing the accumulation of a decade of hard work, it still wasn't enough?! Even after accomplishing the feat of successfully comprehending law without the extravagant resources that nobles enjoyed, why was the gap between the both of them still wide?! Why..

"That should be enough to deal with her.." a ting of satisfaction appeared across the brows of the Ice Magi after she successfully trapped her opponent.- Ice Age Fortress This was the name of the Hex and perhaps the most powerful in her arsenal. Once an opponent was trapped inside, breaking out would be nothing but wishful thinking on their part. After all not only did the Ice Age Fortress have the unique ability of deflecting any kind of attack lashed at it with increased effect, it also secretly excuded flakes of frost. Once a Cultivator has been exposed to these flakes of frost for long, the flow of energy through their meridians would gradually start becoming sluggish until they'd be completely incapable of even circulating the smallest bit of energy. - Once that happened, they'd be just like harmless sitting ducks. "Nobles are really something.." the expression of the Ice Magi became ashen as a sudden wave of dizziness hit her, nearly causing her to lose her footing. At th

"With that out of the way, the final bout will commence! Ladies and gentlemen.. this is the moment you've all been waiting for!!" Following this announcement, the spectators at the Nightshade Academy erupted into loud cheering, not bothering to conceal their excitement; finally, they were about to witness the main event! From their various seating positions, the top Socialites in attendance couldn't help but pay even more attention to the dueling stage. Although the duel between Aiden and Nero might appear to be just a regular duel between two geniuses from the younger generation, it was more complicated if one observed the situation clearly. For example, there was news that the Royal Family had betrothed one of their Princess to one of the participants in the duel called Aiden. While on the other side, the participant called Nero seemed to share some relationship with the Sentry known as August who had the backing of a powerful family with deep influence in the Thunder Flame Duked

"Hm?" Jared pursed his lips as he watched the blood red spikes that shot out from his armor rapidly lose their cohesion, resulting in them falling apart into sub-atomic dust."Like I suspected.." the ability Aiden just executed was something he learned back at the Blood Monarch Castle. By donning this particular blood red suit of armor, he could adapt to any situation. For example, the two techniques he temporarily gained earlier were created mainly to deal with immediate threats. Anything more than that would cause his temporary skills to become ineffective. - It was a large drawback that he was still learning about, even now. "I need to do something about them.." casting his gaze upward, Jared noticed the gigantic reddish orbs were beginning to contract, causing the spatial integrity around them to become unstable. —[Crisis Detected!]—[Crisis Analyzed!.. 100%]—[Temporary Counter-Measure Obtained.. Galaxy Devouring Pride] An intense pulse of energy exploded from Aiden's figur
