Chapter 24 - Admitting Defeat

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The teachers of the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy were so angry that they almost vomited blood when they saw the fire magic array that had the imprint of the phoenix.

They had just maintained the influence of the ice magic brought about by the frost dragon on the magic barrier. However, just when they thought that they had it all under control, the other student had unleashed the fire magic of the phoenix. Fortunately, the dozen or so teachers instantly reacted and barely maintained the barrier.

On the spectator stand, the principal and vice-principal directly flew into the sky. They used their immense magic power to prevent the barrier from shattering.

Right now, the two extreme magic spells were colliding with each other. This was on a level far superior to the clash between the World Of Ice and Snow and the Flaming Storm previously.

This was close to the limit of their control.

Within the barrier, Linley and Alice, who were continuing their battle, had no idea how much of an impact their magic had on the outside world.

They were already fully immersed in the battle. Alice leaped into the air, and with every step she took, the ground was frozen, and the flames could not approach her.

That being said, Alice’s frosty aura was also unable to extinguish Linley’s flames.

The flames and frost merged, melting before colliding again.

Alice herself could not control such a powerful frost power. She completely relied on the blad. As long as she held the frost blade in her hand, she felt that she could use the heartless and endless frost power. She felt that no one would be her match.

This was the result of coming into contact with a power that far exceeded her cultivation level. The inflated power gave her endless confidence.

She felt that if she slashed down her, she would instantly destroy her enemy!

Alice’s eyes became redder and redder, and some blood vessels appeared in her eyes.

This was also a sign that she was overdrawing her life force. In her current state, she was completely unable to feel any abnormalities in her body due to the endless power.

Even her sense of pain was completely blocked.

As a warrior who only cared about fighting to the death, she did not need to feel any pain. Her only focus now was to charge on bravely!

Alice brandished her frost blade. Wherever her blade went, it would leave an ice mark.

Behind her, the pair of ice wings grew even larger but a trace of blood had appeared within them.

Countless icicles shot towards Linley Bart!

The icicles were enormous, and the Frost Dragon breathed out from Alice’s back.

This was the first time Linley Bart had felt the threat of death. This was also the first time since he had acquired the system that he felt as though his magic power was going to be fully drained.

Linley Bart could sense that after he had used the Phoenix’s World Extinguishing Forbidden Spell, a fiery magic array had appeared on the ground and his magical power was starting to be infused in it. But no matter how much magic power he had infused into the magic array, he was unable to fill it up fully.

“Forget it. There’s not enough time.” Linley Bart felt as though his magic power was about to run out and thus didn’t continue to fill the magic array with more magic power.

Thus, he decided to just cast the spell as it is.

The moment he used it, all the magic power in his body was drawn out to complete this forbidden spell.

Then, endless flames spewed out from the magic array. It was like flames from hell. Red, yellow, purple, and blue flames all appeared.

A pillar of fire suddenly appeared from the magic array and pierced through Alice’s ice wings.

Alice had read countless books in the library, but she had never seen such powerful fire magic!

It was like magic used by a god. Alice could feel the immense magic power contained in this flame magic.

She knew that her magic power was inferior to the flames in the magic formation.

Alice then smiled. She knew that she might lose this time.

This was because that was the phoenix. Any water or ice magic would be burnt up in front of the fires of the phoenix. Even if it was the sea, it would be no exception.

Not to mention Alice’s magic.

She wasn’t willing to lose Linley Bart but she had to admit that Linley’s magic was stronger than hers.

Furthermore, it was much stronger. She had not expected such a powerful sorcerer to exist in the academy.

However, Alice still did not want to lose and she was not willing to lose. Thus, she gripped her blade tightly. Even if she lost, she would not admit defeat.

She wanted to fight it out with the other party until the very last moment so that she wouldn’t lose the face of her father. She didn’t want anyone to laugh at her for being a “mercenary princess” anymore.

Alice only wanted to prove herself. No matter how powerful the enemy she had encountered was, she only wanted to prove that she could face him!

Alice then let out a shout and spread her frost wings like a swan’s death song.

She did not hesitate to expend even more of her life force to maintain the magic spell and did her best to slash down this blade!

Even though the snow was melting and the flames were burning, Alice charged into the flames without hesitation.

Linley Bart looked at Alice’s face. All that he could see was her resolution and unwillingness to give up. This was a face he had never seen before.

This was only seen in someone who would give it all one had to achieve what one wanted, regardless of one’s life.

Regardless of whether she would succeed or fail in the end, as long as there was a chance, she was willing to risk her life to complete it.

Linley Bart merely wanted to use magic to defeat Alice and make her admit defeat.

But Linley Bart now knew that there was no way he could defeat Alice.

Even if he had defeated Alice in terms of magic, he would never be able to defeat Alice in terms of spirit and will to live.

“I admit defeat.” Linley Bart sighed.

He withdrew the release of his magic. The flames were like a painting that had been casually erased. They vanished without a trace as if the monstrous aftermath had never happened.

When Alice heard that Linley Bart had admitted defeat, she hurriedly retracted her blade. After all, with her honor, she wouldn’t slash her blade at someone who had already admitted defeat.

“Why did you admit defeat?” Alice couldn’t believe she’d won just like that.

After she asked this question, she did not manage to hear the answer in time. Instead, all she felt was exhaustion before she fell from the sky.
