Chapter 702 - 646: Phoenix Nirvana (1/2)

”Not enough. Again.”

Lucy wiped the blood off her sleeves before expressionlessly repeating the same words. The sixth youngsters were heavily injured and barely able to stand up. They were beaten back and blue by Lucy, who attacked without notice and inflicted almost fatal wounds.

She didn't use any magic and relied solely on her physical body, which is equal to her husband's. The couple's stats had long since surpassed the limiter and, if she wished for it, Lucy can even break down Mysterious artifacts with her bare hands.

”T-teacher can't we rest for a bit?”

Bora, who had enough of being beaten half-dead, hesitated once before voicing his true thoughts. Though the rest didn't say anything, the look on their faces clearly showed that they shared the same thoughts.

”No rest. Again.”

Their energies were depleted and both Shu Ru and Ardor had their right and left arms, respectively, broken.

Actually, a while earlier, Cristina's spear snapped in half when it struck Lucy's palm. This made the girl fly into a rage, relentlessly leaping at the unresponsive Lucy.

She only calmed down when the White Specter reassured her that Arthur will be able to repair in an instant. Nevertheless, the pain from seeing her beloved weapon snap made Cristina dislike and fear Lucy even more.

Even Ardor refrained from using his sword and swapped it with a sword made from his own Sword Essence.

All of this happened in just two hours, which made the disciples despair. Lucy refused to speak and just attacked.

…

Three hours in, five of the six disciples fell unconscious. The last person managed to stand with a lot of difficulty, his body on the verge of breaking, blood coming out of his nose and mouth.

The youth, who's red hair matched the crimson liquid covering his clothes, clenched his shaking teeth and slowly raised his hand, unleashing several fireballs at Lucy, which were dispersed the moment they touched her clothes.

”Arthur did not lie when he said you're exceptional.”

For the first time since her appearance, Lucy softly smiled and used her magic. Golden flames burst out from her hand and rose into the sky, appearing more blinding than the shining sun.

This sight seemed to mesmerize the half-conscious youth, his eyes reflecting the golden radiance of the flames.

”In the past, you were Arthur's enemy, right?”

Ho Qing didn't reply, his body shaking more intensely, the flames that were coming out of his hand now vanishing, completely overpowered by the Golden Crow fire.

”I can't have someone like you alive. Die.”

After saying that, the golden flames cascaded on the defenseless youth, enveloping him within seconds. Ho Qing didn't even let out a sound as the fire burned his clothes and invaded his body, making him unable to naught but at the sky.

After a few minutes, a screech reverberated across the training arounds, followed by a divine pressure, emanating from none other than the red-haired youth.

Noticing this, Lucy increased the intensity of her flames but that only made the pressure increase by several folds.

”The end.”

Lucy spoke the two words then clutched her open hand, making the blood turn Ho Qing into naught but ash.

However, not even ten seconds after his miserable death, an orange spark rose from the spark and a thick pillar of orange clear flames rose to the sky.

”Interesting. This is the first time I'm seeing a Phoenix's Nirvana.”
