Chapter 219 - This Doesn't Feel Like A Friendly Spar Anymore
Ignoring the icy glare on my back, I walked to one of the small podiums with a plain white crystal in the middle. After touching the crystal once, I felt energy enter my body, scan around before leaving it. Other than the icy cold glare pointed at my back from the icy witch, there were another two intense gazes pointed at me. One was Rose trying to find out how I hid my elements, while the other was Olivia who was stressed about how much weaker she had become than me and the fact that she might not be able to catch up to me anymore.
"Results are in!
" A robotic voice sounded within the hall.
"Results will no show on the holographic screen
" Its voice echoed in the room again as a blue and transparent screen appeared in front of us.

When Rose saw the results, she could not help but look at me weirdly while Yuri started to get cold feet. While she knew I had fought against the wyvern alone, she must have thought that I had fought the wyvern alongside Rose since not even she could fight against the wyvern alone and stay on her feet for longer than 5 minutes.
Olivia on the other hand was probably the most devastated one. After grasping onto the hope that she would not be useless to me for the rest of her life while praying that I would not get too strong without her, her dreams were crushed instantly.
Rose was probably the only one who had a clear mind, making her ask me
"What is that thing that starts with bender but kind of breaks afterward?
"
"Oh, that? No need to know about it haha
" I waved it off like it was nothing
"No, I want to know
" She asserted
"No... Anyway, should we start the spar, Yuri? I blurred to the center of the stage.
"You think I will back out huh?
" Yuri flickered to the middle as well as she exuded confidence and oozed pride.
"Haha! Look at you go. You deserve the Pride title more than me haha
" I straightened my back and smiled brightly behind the mask, but at a certain point, I had already decided on my next move.
*Swish*
*Clack*
Throwing my mask towards Olivia at a wooshing speed, I looked at Yuri with narrowed eyes yet accompanied by a subtle smirk.
"Okay... I will respect your fighting spirit and in return, I will fight you seriously
" My smirk disappeared and a serious expression overcame my face.
Seeing this, everyone immediately tensed up, especially Olivia since she had never seen me get this serious over a fight, not even against Juilam.
It only took a few more seconds for my superior clairvoyance to activate which basically told me exactly what would happen in the next 5 seconds as long as that thing happened in the room. For some reason, my senses could not expand beyond the room even though they were more than able to, yet I chose to not think about it too much.
"The real question now though...
" I muttered as my eyes began to stare into the depths of Yuri's soul-making a visible shudder go through every cell of her body. Simultaneously, I was releasing a golden magical aura, something that I was not able to do as an Ethereal-stage mage before the breakthrough in the forest against the wyvern.
The aura radiating out of me caused the winds to increase in ferocity as they blew out in all directions. The air around me had already become distorted, while the pressure everyone in the room was feeling was not something one should mess with.
This was the power that came from swallowing the inheritance of 'God-Slayer' whole. While a lot of the information is still locked inside my soul flame since my mind cannot handle all the information just yet, I still had the aura and presence of a Demi-God, making it hard for anyone to breathe unless I were to suppress my presence to a certain level.
Right now, not only was Yuri starting to pant more heavily, on the far side of the room Olivia was completely drenched in a cold sweat while Rose on the other hand just had virtually no symptoms other than the extremely small amount of discomfort that could be shrugged off, like a leaf on one's shoulder.
'What is this power... She is supposed to be weaker than I am but her aura is almost suppressing me... I need to act, QUICK!' Yuri furrowed her brows and instantly shot towards me with the speed of a bullet.
As she sped towards me, she would leave a misty trail of white mist that immediately caused the ground to turn frozen.
*Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh* *Woosh*
*Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step*
*Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish* *Swish*
*Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step* *Step*
As Yuri began to throw countless attacks at me, even though she was much faster than anything I would usually be able to handle at this level without using the electric body or lightning boots, I was still able to easily dodge all the attacks that came at me, as if I was dodging the attacks of a toddler instead of a grown woman with years of academic and field experience.
I watched a white fist covered in snow particles thrust towards my face before sidestepping and dodging. Next, I jumped as she tried to sweep my feet off the ground and make me fall headfirst or at least try and ruin my balance.
What surprised me next actually was the unexpected ice dagger shooting towards me from the ground on my right, yet even though I could have just taken a step back to dodge it, I chose to dash as lighting crackled in the whites of my eyes to my right side instead before landing on my heel, spinning and grabbing the hilt of the ice dagger and melting it with my blue flame.
"Is that all you've got, Miss regional guildmaster?
"
