Chapter 112 — Whispers Beneath the Veil of Velocity
Chapter 112 — Whispers Beneath the Veil of Velocity Since the first moments of the duel, Angy had been fighting with a calculated softness, relying heavily on her lightning-quick reflexes to shove her opponents out of the duel arena rather than delivering devastating blows. She skirted the edge of violence, carefully avoiding truly brutal strikes. This subtlety, however, subtly undermined her effectiveness — an efficiency deficit she seemed unaware of, as her instincts honed more toward evasion than aggression. Reflection Academy’s fighters boasted raw power, but their advantage had been steadily eroding. Two of their strongest warriors had already been unceremoniously ejected from the ring, and it was becoming increasingly clear that their inevitable defeat was just a matter of time. Opposite them, the contingent from Echelon Academy stood resolute, their cohesion and strategy shining through. Unlike the previous academy t
Chapter 113 — Echoes of the Buried Detonation
Chapter 113 — Echoes of the Buried Detonation The arena exploded into chaotic symphony as the seven combatants from both schools clashed with relentless fervor. Max Vale sat back in his assigned seat, eyes narrowed beneath a veneer of boredom. Unlike the spectators around him who hung on every twitch of the fight, Max’s gaze held a cold certainty. The outcome was already etched in his mind. Echelon Academy’s victory was inevitable. Still, he observed with clinical precision, noting every subtle exchange, every shift in tactics, no matter how mundane the appearance. Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast! The cavernous dueling grounds trembled as detonations cracked the air. Each blast sent shockwaves rattling through the dust-choked arena, painting the air with the acrid sting of burnt ozone and scorched earth. On the eastern flank of the battle ring, two combatants locked in brutal contest — each wielding
Chapter 114 – Shards of Stone and Speed
Chapter 114 – Shards of Stone and Speed Max Vale stood at the edge of the Dueling Grounds, expression unreadable, as the crowd buzzed with whispered analyses. Around him, his fellow students from Blackrock Academy exchanged heated theories and predictions about the unfolding battles. He listened carefully, his mind already dissecting each move, each flaw, and every flicker of power displayed on the field. This was more than just a competition. Every clash was a lesson — a brutal tutorial etched in blood and sweat — and Max was a voracious student. His sharp gaze flicked from one battle to the next, quietly noting weaknesses and strategies that could be exploited or improved upon. The murmurs settled as the second duel was announced, and the air thickened with tension. This was the face-off everyone had been waiting for: Blackrock Academy versus Atrihea City High. Angy and her six comrades from Blackr
Chapter 115 – The Crucible of Agony
Chapter 115 – The Crucible of Agony “The battlefield is no sanctuary for fools cloaked in mercy!” Zim’s voice cracked like a whip, his arm arching back with brutal intent. His cold gaze locked onto the cruel punctures he’d inflicted moments ago. One of the sharp shards still jutted grotesquely from Angy’s left flank, a grotesque trophy of his assault. With ruthless precision, he thrust his palm forward, channeling savage force. Smash! The jagged stone was driven deeper into her flesh, forcing a spray of dark, viscous blood to erupt. A ragged cough tore from Angy’s lips — crimson spilling forth, painting her pale face with the stark signature of agony. Her expression twisted, raw torment radiating from every muscle. It was a visceral, gut-wrenching spectacle of suffering. Yet Zim did not relent. His grip on her throat
Chapter 116 — Embers of Defiance
Chapter 116 — Embers of Defiance “What do you mean ‘stay put’? Angy’s being torn apart out there! We can’t just stand idly by!” Arianna snarled, baring her teeth like a cornered wolf, her voice dripping with desperate fury as she glared at Max Vale. The slightest hint of a refusal from him would have provoked a snap—an animalistic outburst ready to shred anything in its path. Max’s eyes softened for a moment, but his hand came down firmly, pressing against Arianna’s temple with a calming weight. “Trust me. This has to wait. Stay here.” His tone was low, steady—an iron core beneath calm waters. But a sudden, suffocating chill slithered through the air, creeping into every bone of those nearby, chilling their blood and whispering of storm and chaos to come. None could pinpoint the source of that cold, but it dug deep into their senses—a silent herald of the violent tempest about to break loose. Before the girls
Chapter 117 – Shadows over Atrihea’s Champions
Chapter 117 – Shadows over Atrihea’s Champions The chilling wind swept through the packed Dueling Grounds, carrying a quiet tension that crackled like the charged mana in the air. The crowd’s murmur dimmed to a tense hush as Falco’s icy gaze locked onto Zim, his presence commanding a strange gravity that unsettled the onlookers. "Are we finally going to dance?" Falco’s voice cut through the silence, cold as shattered ice, each word deliberate, his eyes narrowing as if weighing Zim’s very soul. Zim’s chest heaved with forced righteousness. "I don’t know your name or why a fighter as formidable as you only decides to step onto the battleground now, but what I did was necessary. The arena isn’t a refuge for weak-hearted cowards." Falco’s lips curled into a bitter smirk, each word dripping with quiet menace. "Weak-hearted cowards, huh? And what about hard-hearted cowards?" He took slow, deliberate steps forward, the ground seem
Chapter 118 – Shadows on the Silver Spire
Chapter 118 – Shadows on the Silver Spire When Korak turned slowly, the sight that greeted Theo Vance was as staggering as a titan rising from the depths. The towering figure before him had grown nearly two feet in height, pushing his colossal frame to a staggering eight feet, his breadth now rivaling that of two full-grown men standing side by side. Jagged shards of gleaming white mana-crystal armor encased every inch of Korak’s body, from crown to sole, transforming him into a living fortress of stone and light. Not a single gap or vulnerable seam betrayed his form — his entire being was sheathed in this crystalline shell. The man he once was had been swallowed by this monstrous transformation; the raw, primal energy now made Korak look like a colossus birthed from the nightmares of forgotten gods. An abominable colossus clad in radiant armor that shimmered coldly beneath the overcast sky. “Still brave enough to call me w
Chapter 119 – Thievery Beneath the Blazing Sun
Chapter 119 – Thievery Beneath the Blazing Sun The air atop the three-hundred-story spire hung heavy with tension, every breath weighted by the mounting storm of conflict. Miss Raelyn’s sharp gaze locked on Theo Vance, her face suddenly hardening as his words cut through the stale rooftop air like a sharpened blade. “We’re finished here,” Raelyn declared coldly, turning on her heel without a glance back. Her boots clicked ominously as she strode to the edge of the rooftop’s right wing, pausing a heartbeat before spinning to face Theo once more. Her eyes burned with unyielding fire as she issued her warning. “Consider this your only caution—keep your distance from him. The next time you lay a hand on him will be the last time you touch another soul,” she hissed, lips curling in a dangerous smirk before stepping off the precipice. The wind screamed around t
Chapter 120 – The Convergence of Three Fates
Chapter 120 – The Convergence of Three Fates Principal Wren’s voice sliced through the tension like a razor-edge. “What are you implying, Principal Erhil? The battlefield does not tolerate mercy… Didn’t you preach this very truth moments ago?” His sharp laugh cracked the air. Principal Erhil’s gaze was cold and unwavering. “And yet, Principal Wren, what became of your so-called principles? Are they mere words to be cast aside when inconvenient?” he retorted with a venomous calm. Wren’s anguish crept into his tone, “Principles aren’t just for show—shouldn’t we protect our students by upholding them?” Erhil’s eyes narrowed, hard as flint. “Principles? That’s rich coming from you. Tell me, do you imagine the enemy will grant your precious students any such consideration when their blades pierce flesh and bone? Or do you expect your idealism to shield them from brutal reality?” The words struck like shards of ice. Wren clenched his fists, frustration bubbling. “How can you, Prin
Chapter 121 – Lessons in the Dark
Chapter 121 – Lessons in the Dark "You still in pain anywhere?" "Just say the word, Angy—I'll find that bastard and carve him up myself," one of the girls snarled. The other two echoed similar sentiments, faces tight with fury. But Angy wasn't paying attention to any of them. Her eyes scanned the crowd, wild with uncertainty. "Where's Max?" she asked, voice barely above a whisper. The warmth drained from the three girls’ faces in unison. Silence struck them like a slap. Max Vale had vanished over half an hour ago, slipping away like smoke. No one had seen him since. "He le—" Elle began, but her words were severed by a cool voice from behind. "I’m here." All three girls spun around, startled. Max emerged from the crowd's edge, moving with the kind of calm that suggested danger wasn’t behind him—it followed him. He stepped up to Angy, ey
