Chapter 315: Slow Like Tortoise

Back to the academy, where the test was held,

Matson and his group were seen in the mid-air with a root loop; they were watching the roots attack from Edison while Elizabeth and her group also watching Diana attack coming toward Desmond.

*boom*

The roots attack from Edison easily destroyed his earth spikes. It then kept advancing forward toward him, countering his attack back while the impact from Diana's Great Sword attack was spreading toward the middle of center stage, destroying the earth and ground simultaneously.

At the same time, the black-haired girl also had another spell chanted. She was dashing with her feet riding a water wave and her hands holding a thin faint long water sword.

"Wow, he was attacked by three groups. It will be amazing if he can repel all of these attacks," One of the students finally exclaimed in surprise, breaking the silence on the bystanders.

"Did you see that? He was instant cast a spell!"

"What so great about that? Didn't you notice he was casting three spells simultaneously?!"

"And in an instant..." their mouth gaped, and their breath quickened.

When the others heard their words, they hiccuped in surprise. A person that could cast a spell in an instant was rare among them, but for a person who could instantly casted three different spells at the same time was terrifying

"He is... a monster," The students shivered in fear.

Meanwhile, when all of these attacking coming toward him, Desmond simply glanced by one by one before focusing his attention the most on the black-haired girl.

"This young generation is so conceited," Desmond muttered.

Only Edison, Diana, and the black-haired girl launched their attack on him while the rest just observed. He didn't know the reason why they didn't attack him, or maybe it was part of their plan, or they were just too afraid?

"Control Element: Wooden Sword."

While speaking, Desmond extended his hands forward, mimicking how he gripped a sword with a magical circle following each movement and the white light energy forming a short wooden sword.

He observed the newly created wooden sword and then nodded in satisfaction.

Custom Spell: Fire Sword.

At the same time, surging energy coming out from his body and the surrounding, the energy gathered on the blade sword while the white light energy summoning the heat of the fire.

A barrier also appeared on the top of the blade while the fire was placed on top of barrier, making the sword burn with fire but did not burn its material.

The look on those contestants was taken back upon witnessing the method used by Desmond, especially those who controlled a wood element, such as Clark and Edison.

"Master Desmond really surprised us," On the other hand, Elizabeth giggled, but the next second, her expression froze upon stared by Gabriela.

Custom Spell: Barrier.

However, the surprise from the students and contestants did not stop as they saw Desmond cast another spell which made the surrounding energy gathering on his body.

The white ball energy then forming a soft layer of barrier around his body. Once the barrier formed, the barrier became invisible and became one with his body.

In Desmond's eyes, the incoming attacks from Diana and Edison were too slow while the black-haired girl was moving like tortoise, which was why he could make a fast decision.

He even had a chance to observed the change on his body and the wooden sword he held. Suddenly he noticed Clark, who was standing above, jumped and landed on the ground, creating a speck of dust.

However, amidst the dust, a shadow of Clark was advancing forward, with his hand carried a katana as he bent his body forward.

At the same time, Desmond turned his head to the back and found Diana with her armor flying in mid-air; she was shouting loudly, which made Desmond noticed her attacking him.

Desmond also noticed Gibson, Matson, Elizabeth, and all of the rest contestants were muttering something with their lips kept moving while the energy began to gather around their bodies.

"Okay, cool. All of my magic attacks now are useless," After seeing the situation, Desmond's body finally heated up. His sword that burning with fire was trembling as if it was screaming excitedly while his eyes were flickered upon seeing Clark, who were almost arrived at him.

*swoosh*

Clark, who was confident with his attack, slashed Desmond with his katana from upward. However, the next moment, Desmond's body was missing.

His katana slashed on the ground making a small crack that was deep enough for someone to be injured by his attack. Unfortunately, because of this, his katana was now stuck on the ground.

Too slow, Desmond muttered inwardly as he appeared beside Clark, pressing the tip of his sword against the part between his armpit and belly.

*clack*

The fire on its blade easily burned Clark's skin while the tip of the sword entered his body and almost reached his heart before it was stopped.

Clark widens his eyes upon sensing danger and disbelief, seeing how fast Desmond is. He glanced at him from the corner of his eyes and found the sword was missing along with the burning sensation.

*pop*

"Argh!" However, the next moment he felt excruciating pain like blood poured out from his body while his vision slowly darkened, and he fainted on the ground.

At the same time, while the other contestants were still dazed upon seeing the blood pool around Clark and heard his continuous scream on their ears, the black-haired girl riding a water wave felt a sense of danger.

"Last time I give you mercy, but because of that, you become too bold," Desmond suddenly appeared in her view.

He basically stood the same ground with her as another small earth block appeared beneath his feet. Blocking her water wave, causing her to become unstable.

*thump*

"Gah!" The black-haired girl coughed a stain of blood as she saw Desmond used the part of the sword hilt to hit her throat, making her eyes rolled, and she became sleepy as her body fell on the ground.

The water sword and the water wave turned back into light energy and then vanished into thin air, revealing the shocked, fainted black-haired girl.

Only after two contestants were defeated, all of the students were sucking a cold breath with their hairs stand up, and their bodies were shivering.

"What the hell happened?!"

However, the next moment, their breath stopped as they saw. Desmond pointed his hand toward the black-haired girl's group.

"You guys are annoying," From his palm, a magic circle appeared and then shot a raging flame that burning the group alive.

"ARG!!"

"Save me!"

The group screamed in pain, making the students looked at him in terrified. They looked around, trying to find the white-robed people or someone responsible for the test.

Nevertheless, their hope was shattered upon seeing there was no person from the academy stopping the fire as a smell from meat was burned already sucked by their noses.

"Kyhaa! Stop him!" the female students began screaming upon seeing one of them was burned alive, while the male students were glaring at Desmond while taking a chance to comfort and hug the female students near them.

"A madman!" They shook his head but were secretly overjoyed upon sensing a soft and huge pillow on their chest. The students who had a full male in their group were easily and secretly cursed those who had the chance.
