Chapter 554 End

Aside from their mana cores and wills, the Aeonians could utilize the mana in the atmosphere at any given moment.

Their power manifested through a spectrum of colors, each representing a different stage of control and strength.

As they advanced through these stages, they harnessed greater power by refining their mana control and boosting their capabilities.

In the first stage, their skin glowed with a serene blue. This initial stage marked their baseline power, where Aeonians had solid control over the mana in the air.

At this stage, their focus was on enhancing their outer body—muscles, bones, and skin—granting them heightened physical abilities and resilience.

Their mana flowed through these external structures, fortifying them against physical harm and enhancing their strength and agility.

In the second stage, their skin shifted to a vibrant green. Here, their control over mana was enhanced, allowing them to strengthen not only their outer body but also their internal organs.

The Aeonians at this stage could channel mana to vitalize their heart, lungs, and other organs, increasing their overall vitality and endurance.

Their focus was on refining their mana pathways to support both external and internal fortifications, ensuring greater physical prowess and longevity.

As they moved further, their skin turned a radiant yellow. This stage brought a significant increase in power as they began to infuse their very veins and circulatory system with mana.

Aeonians could manipulate their mana to achieve exceptional speed and stamina, optimizing the flow of energy throughout their bodies.

Their focus was on enhancing their bloodstream, ensuring that mana was efficiently distributed to all parts of their body, resulting in peak performance and rapid recovery.

At the next stage, their skin blazed with a fiery red. This stage was where most Aeonians could reach in their whole lives before stopping, neither having enough talent to go further.

In this stage, Aeonians could unleash devastating force and abilities. Their control over mana reached its zenith, allowing them to perform extraordinary feats. Their focus was on channeling vast amounts of mana with precision, achieving unparalleled destructive capabilities.

Lastly, there was white. This was a stage so profound that only a select few could reach it.

Atticus and Ae'ark's katana and spear erupted in crimson and white at the same time, their auras shooting up into the sky.

The atmosphere sundered, and the earth quaked as they both stomped forward in unison, katana raised high and spear pointed forward.

Their eyes blazed with determination as they both erupted, katana blade descending and spear thrusting out.

Each released sonic booms as they cut through the air, appearing inches apart.

Just as it seemed they would collide and unleash a force of cataclysmic proportions, two figures suddenly appeared, each one floating suspended behind Atticus and Ae'ark.

As though it had been an illusion, both their attacks fizzled out, tendrils of lightning and a palpable aura wrapping both figures of Atticus and Ae'ark respectively.

Almost instantly, Atticus lost all control over his body, the suit's will finally acting on him. At the same time, Ae'ark's aura abruptly got snuffed out, his body enveloped by intense weakness.

"This battle is over,"

Magnus's words traveled far and wide, entering the ears of every single person watching the battle.

At this point and due to the intense clashes, the millions of inhabitants of the city had been watching.

But unfortunately, only the master ranks could actually make sense of what was going on and as they saw how young the people fighting were, each couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

They had caused this much damage? It was completely insane!

A second passed and they each saw the state of their city, however, neither of them uttered anything. The scene of the clouds and lightning was still fresh in their heads.

The battlefield became completely silent, each spectator trying to comprehend the results.

Only one thing played in everyone's mind:

Who the hell won!??
