Re: Love & Magic

Zevien saw both of them and grinned as his eyes gleamed coldly and flew towards them like a jet!

The man and the woman who decided to fight together released their spells toward Zevien, but Zevien also cast a spell: Brilliant Burn! After casting that spell, he flew up four meters before diving toward them.

The spells that the two contestants released hit the Brilliant Burn curtain instead, but they were still blinded slightly.

*Smash!*

Zevien did a double kick while in the air as both contestants were hit in their heads and smashed into opposite directions. However, Zevien conjured a purple orb in front of him right after that kick.

He didn’t shoot the purple orb but just conjured it in front of him and…kicked it towards the man.

*Swoosh…*

After kicking the purple orb, Zevien didn’t even stop for a second to see the result and zoomed toward the woman.

On the other hand, the purple orb flew like a rocket and hit the man when he barely stopped himself from the impact of Zevien’s kick. The speed of the purple orb was way faster, with Zevien’s kick hitting it instead of the typical cast shooting it.

Eliminated!

On the other hand, Zevien was just two meters away from the woman right when she also stopped herself. Gritting her teeth, she opened her mouth and used a tier-2 spell, Amplified Vocal Shot! A spell that one can boost via one’s shout. However, this was a dangerous spell that could damage one’s vocal cords.

Zevien narrowed his eyes as this spell was unavoidable. He quickly renewed his Omni-Barrier that had slight cracks by spending slightly above 200 mana and continued towards her.

*Screeeeeeee!!

A powerful voice-type spell in wide range hit Zevien, but his barrier absorbed the damage.

*Crack…*

The barrier was on the verge of cracking, but before it could crack, Zevien arrived in front of her and hit her with an uppercut with his legs by fully spinning using his wings. As she flew up with his kick, he again kicked her horizontally and threw her out of the barrier.

*WOAHHHHH!!*

The audience cheered in excitement!

“Only two people are left on the platform now!” Melissa shouted with a huge smile. “Come on! Let’s see who takes the first rank!”

Zevien turned around and saw a man in his early twenties with long black hair and a bandanna on his forehead. Two illusionary beastly gauntlets were on his hands, which appeared to be effects of his awakening spell, Beast King’s Armament!

Out of ten people, Zevien himself had eliminated three, while other contestants eliminated others. So now, only two were left: Rukin and Alucard!

Rukin looked at Zevien solemnly and took a stance before swiping his hand towards Zevien.

*Roar…*

A beastly roar resounded before a black panther-like beastly head with two horns on its head materialized and shot towards Zevien.

Zevien stood in his position without moving and cracked his neck before exerting the full strength of his legs for an explosive dash. His eyes looked serenely at the incoming beastly head and Rukin, who was dashing towards him.

*Booom…*

Zevien also dashed as the ground cracked slightly and flapped his wings once to increase his speed explosively. He passed by the beastly head attack before coming close to clash with Rukin, who shouted and was ready to punch him.

Zevien observed him coldly, but he didn’t take any form of attack.

Just when he was one meter away from Rukin, he stretched both of his arms and bent his upper body down while his left-wing furled itself and the right wing fully unfurled. This caused him to change his moving direction and caused him to spin halfway since he was moving at full speed. But he used his legs to support himself and flew past Rukin narrowly while his right hand conjured a Blackout Bubble and hit Rukin point-blank as he passed by him.

*Zooom!*

*Gasp…*

The audience gasped as everyone turned silent at the magnificent movement executed by Alucard. Even Melissa was surprised.

“Arghh…t-this, what did you do?” Rukin lost all of his senses but tried to keep calm before punching the ground to release an omnidirectional sonic wave from his gauntlet.

However, Zevien somersaulted before flying up to dodge the sonic wave. He appeared beside Rukin and kicked him with his full strength before materializing a purple orb near his feet while he was still in the air and kicked it.

Rukin stopped himself from being pushed further, but Blackout Bubble’s effect was still ongoing since it had a three-second duration effect.

*Boom!*

The purple orb hit Rukin squarely in the next second as he couldn’t see or hear it.

Eliminated!

*Silence!*

Zevien calmly descended on the platform as a smile formed on his face. “Easy!”

*WOAAHH!!!*

The audience caused a large uproar, and even those watching the broadcast felt their blood boiling due to the exciting fights they saw, especially the last few moves of Alucard.

“That was fierce and magnificent both!” Melissa descended and arrived in front of Zevien before smiling. “Congratulations, Alucard! You are number one in this contest!”

“As it should be,” Zevien nodded carefreely and played it cool.

*YEAH!!!*

This was Alucard’s character: carefree and arrogant. But inwardly, his heart was still widely beating since he had felt a lot of pressure throughout the ordeal because the goal he set for himself was not easy!

“Everyone loved the explosive fights you displayed!” Melissa once again said with a charming smile after seeing the response from the audience. “Me as well.”

Many people immediately became hard-struck fans of Alucard due to his character and the strength that backed it back.

Melissa called the other four people who won on the platform to give them the Skyward admission medallion.

Nishi, who used Amplified Vocal Shot, walked toward Zevien before asking doubtfully, “what kind of barrier spell are you using?”

“It’s a part of my awakening magic spell,” Zevien replied casually.

“Oh…No wonder,” Nishi nodded before standing beside him as Melissa arrived with the Skyward admission medallions.

Melissa gave each of them a medallion with a brilliant smile. “Congratulations! You all performed awesomely!”
