Chapter 486: Disobedient Heart (1/2)

Max took Aria to the destroyed dome. The place was still warm and the smell of the ashes were still very fresh.

”It seems there was a big fight here…” Aria looked around in surprise. She could somehow feel that the scale of the fight was terrifying. It didn't seem like students had fought but more like some beasts.

Even the Swamp Lord couldn't cause this much destruction.

A second later, Aria froze as a scorched corpse came into her view.

”H-Human Faced Spider!!” Aria was shocked. She obviously had more knowledge about the level of creatures here since Orca was the one organizing the competition.

'This is a Peak Savage Beast!!'

'Just what kind of horrific creature could kill it?'

She didn't believe that students had done this….it was only the second day. Most of the students weren't even here and it would need cooperation of two Academies and a lot of planning to kill it.

If it was not students then, could it be...the Horde Commander?

The Mystic Tier, Blood Eating Bat?

”Don't worry, it's dead and there is no strong beast in the vicinity….” Max said seeing that she was nervously staring at the corpse.

”En.” Aria nodded.

Max then looked at her and brought out his spear, ”Let's begin then…”

Aria frowned. She didn't see clearly where the guy had taken his spear out from. He clearly wasn't carrying it.

Seeing Max looking at her, she took her rapier out and pointed it at him.

The next instant, she moved and stabbed it towards Max's chest.

Max slightly moved his spear and the blade of the rapier was deflected passing by his side.

”Are you hesitating? You better strike with all you have if you want to break through..” Max said with a smile as he looked at her.

Aria looked at him and her initial hesitation was gone seeing that her attack hadn't even made him budge a bit.

She drew her sword in an arc above her and several shining crystals formed in mid air.

”Whoosh!”

When Aria hacked her sword in Max's direction, the crystal flew towards Max like bullets.

Max calmly rotated his spear and smashed every piece of crystal that came his way.

”Weak! Is this all you got?” Max suddenly closed in on Aria and swung his spear down. He had adjusted his capabilities to the early stage of Advance Tier or else there wouldn't even be a fight.

”Bang!”

Aria desperately pulled herself away and somehow managed to get out of the way at the last moment.

Aria looked at Max and drew her sword upwards.

The ground beneath Max cracked and a pointed tip of a crystal emerged from below.

Max had only one thought after looking at her attack.

Vicious!

He immediately smashed the bottom tip of his spear into the crystal, shattering it into pieces before it could even completely emerge.

Max then looked above only to see that Aria had casted her true spell summoning a huge crystal sword in the air.

”Overlord's Thrust!”

The sword came down on Max and kicked up a fierce moment.

Max immediately pushed his spear upwards and took a head-on collision.

”Bang!”

Max's feet sank in the group as web-like cracks appeared around him pushing him deeper into the ground.

Aria frowned when Max managed to stop her attack.

Seeing that the sword hadn't disintegrated yet, Aria released all her mana and the giant sword began to further crystalize.

Max felt the pressure increase slightly and his legs slowly began to sink onto the ground again.

Max snorted and began to exert force and push the sword upwards.
