Chapter 186
*BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!\"
The pillar of flames rose to the sky, creating a beautiful image that could be seen from the imperial palace .
Eight-Layer Fire Spell, [Hell's Pillar]!
A spell so powerful that someone like Dina was not supposed to be able to use yet . Moreover, she cast it without anyone noticing .
Genius, that was the only word that could describe such a feat .
The spectators were overwhelmed by fear and admiration . The heat of the flames was enough to knock out some of the weaker students .
Evelyn frowned .
\"All the students below the fourth layer, leave! Teachers, protect the students that fainted!\"
But her words fell in deaf ears . Most of the students' gazes were fixed in the pillar of fire in the arena .
They wanted to know the result of the clash between the student council's president and the leader of the club's committee .
But Dina's eight-layer spell was far from enough to finish this fight .
Before one second passed, a blinding light surged inside the pillar of flame .
Then, a giant sword light appeared, cutting the spell into two and hitting the arena's barrier .
*BOOM!*
The arena shook due to the impact . The flames dissipated and two figures appeared in everybody's sight .
Alan was holding a blinding sword of light and Dina was looking at the sword with an expression of astonishment .
\"That is…\"
\"Zariel . A sword used by a sword god three hundred years ago . Father bestowed it to me two years ago, but it's my first time using it in battle . You should be proud, sister . \"
Dina clenched her teeth . Proud? She felt anger!
Zariel was a very famous sword . It was not beautiful and its shape was not special, but it was incredibly strong . A godly armament .
Three hundred years ago, before the empire was founded, many gods fought, and many gods fell .
Among them, a famous sword god called Zariel died . According to the historical records, he used only a sword during his entire life, since he was a child until he became a god . The sword carried his sword intent and experiences and contained powerful strength able to kill a god .
However, after the god died, the sword disappeared . Nobody knew where that sword was until it appeared today in Alan's hands!
Who would have known that the normal-looking sword Alan used was a sword that belonged to a god? The fact that the emperor gifted that sword to him was astonishing . It showed his support for Alan!
Neither Dina nor I have received such a gift from the emperor in our lives . Even the sword I wield is a completely normal sword without enchantments . Its only good point is that it was forged with some nice materials .
Now that Alan was using a sword like that, Dina was at a great disadvantage .
Alan's cultivation was already a little higher than Dina, so now that he also wielded a much superior weapon, his victory was almost guaranteed .
However, Dina was not going to give up so soon .
For her, this opportunity was something I earned for her . She knew the reason I did not injure Alan was so she could defeat him in perfect condition, fair and square . Once she was victorious, her reputation in the empire would soar .
If she wanted to be the empress, if she wanted to meet my expectations, this was the first obstacle she had to overcome .
So, she clenched her fists and readied another magic circle . Without caring about Alan's Zariel, she unleashed a new spell .
\"[Burning Domain]!\"
Fire surged out of her body, filling the entire arena and swallowing Alan .
But Alan just snorted .
\"It's useless . \"
With a swing of his sword, the fire domain was cut into two and the sword continued towards her .
Dina narrowed her eyes . She quickly activated [Fire Teleportation], evading the slash by a hairbreadth .
But now that Alan was wielding Zariel, his power was on a completely different level .
\"Where do you think you are going!?\" With a bellow, the place where Dina just appeared was engulfed by tens of sword slashes . Dina's expression changed and hurriedly created a barrier in front of her .
The next instant, she forced herself to cast another fire teleportation and moved away .
But this time, her right arm had been heavily injured .
