Chapter 217: Battle for the Number One (3)
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Both figures roared, channeling their strength and Originat into their weapons.
Their weapons shone brilliantly, increasing in size. Yet, despite this, both warriors wielded them with ease.
"HAAAH! HAAAAAH!"
They roared as they slashed their weapons down—a loud explosion erupted.
Light and darkness clashed, engulfing everything as if doomsday itself was approaching...
A strong attack was generated by these weapons. A blue trident slash was formed, ravaging everything in its path.
An axe cleaver slash was formed, cleaving everything before it.
Both energy slashes clashed against one another, generating a massive explosion. A bright light shone, causing momentary blindness.
The crowd was stupefied by their weapons and the attacks they generated. They could see that their strength had been amplified and increased by the weapons.
Such weapons couldn't be anything less than Heaven-Rank Weapons—they might even be God-Rank Weapons.
Thinking of this, those knowledgeable about such things felt their gazes heat up with greed—this was a heaven-defying weapon.
But they wondered where these weapons came from. Even killing Volkoids couldn't drop such powerful weapons.
Dive and the representatives of Obsidian Academy were the ones most shocked. Their students had these weapons right under their noses, and yet they had no idea.
Tera was also surprised. The reason? These weapons held the same dominance and arrogance as Draco and Blum's, making him wonder what was going on.
Did they all obtain these weapons from the same place? Tera thought.
A mushroom cloud of dust covered everyone's vision, leaving them unaware of what had happened.
Who's the winner? Who's the loser?
This was the question that passed through most of their minds.
Not long after, the dust settled, and everything became clear—but what they saw surprised them.
Both opponents were gravely and seriously wounded, using their weapons to keep themselves from falling.
Their eyes locked onto one another, filled with surprise. They both tried to move at the same time, attempting to strike their opponent and claim victory.
But as they stood up simultaneously, they suddenly collapsed, unconscious.
The crowd, who had expected more action after watching them struggle to stand, was instead met with the sight of both fighters losing consciousness.
"WAVES ACADEMY VS OBSIDIAN ACADEMY — DRAW!"
The result was announced as a draw. Both academies sighed but also nodded in acknowledgment—their students had truly given it their all.
Even though it ended in a draw, the crowd still enjoyed the battle, and they cheered on enthusiastically.
Both unconscious opponents were taken outside, where their injuries were treated. They woke up shortly after, indignation and regret flashing through their minds.
The next battle was awaited as they eagerly anticipated the next opponents to be called.
"PHOENIX ACADEMY VS LUMINARI ACADEMY"
When this match was announced, the crowd erupted in cheers. The dark horse of this contest was finally fighting again.
They wondered what Phoenix Academy's opponent had against Draco—what could they possibly do to win this match? Draco was like an impenetrable defense.
Hearing his name, Draco walked toward the arena. The Luminari Academy cheered, while the girls were livelier than before.
Draco stepped onto the stage and looked at his opponent. He was surprised to see that it was a young woman wearing a red uniform embroidered with a flaming phoenix.
"Match begins in 3…" the robotic voice began its countdown.
"2"
"1"
Both opponents remained still, unlike Oscar and George. They simply watched each other.
Draco observed his opponent carefully. He considered testing his new skills, like Seductive Touch and Yin-Yang Sword Art, but the thought of using Seductive Touch made him feel that something bad might happen if he did.
Meanwhile, the young woman watched Draco vigilantly. She had seen his battles and was aware of the strength he possessed. The real question was—had he even shown his full power yet?
She moved swiftly, punching toward Draco, but he easily caught her fist. His gaze was cold.
"You better fight me with your true strength, not a measly one, or you'll leave this fight unconvinced."
This was how Draco fought—he made sure his opponents gave it their all so that when they lost, they knew they were truly defeated.
The young woman felt provoked by his words. She snorted, stepping back from Draco.
"Descent of the Heavenly Phoenix!"
CHIRP! CHIRP!
A fire phoenix descended from the heavens, radiating arrogance and dominance as it burned everything in its path.
"Oh, a phoenix?" Draco chuckled. "Using a phoenix against an ancestral phoenix?"
Draco secretly activated his three-colored Phoenix Bloodline.
A phoenix cry from the primordial ages resounded—it felt as if it had existed since the world's creation.
However, the crowd couldn't hear it. Draco had suppressed its cry, and the young woman's phoenix cry had helped mask it further.
The phoenix charged toward Draco, burning everything in its wake—yet Draco stood still, showing no sign of moving.
The crowd was confused. Why wasn't Draco dodging?
Phoenix Academy, as its name suggested, had a deep connection to phoenixes. Their students wielded phoenix-related skills, and they primarily admitted women. Only on rare occasions were men accepted.
This made their numbers few, but their female warriors were strong and not to be underestimated.
The representative of Phoenix Academy was a woman with a youthful face, but her demeanor revealed that she had lived for a long time—just like Tera, Ken, and Dive.
"Tera, it seems your dark horse is about to lose. I'm sure we'll take first place," the representative chuckled. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Oh, Laura. We can't say that just yet. The match has only begun. Also, I wonder—what gives you such confidence?" Tera grinned.
"Hmph, you'll see in a moment." Laura, the Phoenix Academy representative, snorted.
Everyone watched as the fiery phoenix approached Draco—only a meter away from him—yet Draco remained still.
Then, suddenly, he moved.
But what shocked the crowd was that he only raised his hand forward.
And then—
To everyone's astonishment, the phoenix stopped mid-flight.
Draco gently petted its head.
The phoenix chirped in delight, enjoying his touch.
The young woman, the crowd, and even the representatives were all left in shock—especially the young woman herself, who stood frozen, jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Impossible!" Laura cried out, watching in disbelief.
The Heavenly Phoenix was Phoenix Academy's number one skill, capable of summoning a spiritual phoenix to aid in battle.
It was similar to Draco's Five Element Dragon Spell, though slightly inferior.
Yet here they were, watching as Draco effortlessly subdued the phoenix—without even breaking a sweat.
If Laura herself weren't using this ability, she might have believed it wasn't even the same skill from Phoenix Academy.
Tera chuckled.
Draco never failed to amaze him. He was already aware that Draco had some connection to phoenixes—maybe a skill, maybe a bloodline—but he never expected him to completely subdue Phoenix Academy's strongest technique.
The young woman refused to believe it. She tried to call her phoenix back.
But there was no response.
She turned to Draco, shock and fear filling her eyes.
