Chapter 43 Fighting The Corruptor

On Ana's side, a woman was hiding secretly under the branches of the trees, carefully assessing this side of the field.

She was the judge of this side, carefully noting everything. Currently, her main focus is on Ana, Hueg, and Lily's fight.

The other students beside them had distanced themselves away, resting on the ground and silently watching how they would fight.

For this bravery, Ana and others already made her add points beside their names. 'Glad, there are courageous people this year. These royal children are all cowards. Well, that is expected of them, being sheltered from everything.'

Then she assessed the probability of Ana and others winning against the Corruptor. 'That girl named Lily has great control over water magic. She only used a defensive spell earlier, and no attack spell has yet to be used by her. Will have to see what she has more of in her.'

'And this ruffian-looking guy is called Hueg, He is the son of Earl Hayden Stormwind. Can't believe a son of an earl would have such etiquette. But he is a great fighter for a battle mage. Battle mages are a shame to the mage profession in general, but the fact he picked this class speaks of his character. I feel he has one more thing up his sleeve.'

'Now, last but not least, Ana. She is a big surprise this year. She can use star magic, which is extremely rare, and her use of spells is totally unseen. Maybe she might have what our academy needs this year.'

Mentioning Ana made the judge fully forget to assess her ability, on which she was not to blame as star magic users were truly rare in this world.

As the judge silently watched the fight that was about to occur, there was also someone watching secretly like her, for entirely different reasons.

…

Hueg dashed forward without saying a word. He used [ Flurry of Wind ] while running, trying to distract the Corruptor before he came close to it.

The Corruptor just gave a creepy, cynical smile at Hueg's attack and uttered it with a hoarse voice. "Disappear."

It looked like there was some kind of magic in Corruptor's voice, as the moment it said that, the crescent-shaped wind attacks vanished into thin air.

Hueg's eyes widened in deep shock as he had never encountered something like that, and now that creepy smile on its face started to give Hueg some chills on the back of his spine.

He halted his steps and ran around, attacking with [ Flurry of Wind ].

But that was to no avail, as it would just utter the word – disappear – to nullify his attacks.

Ana, who was far away, shouted at Hueg. "Hueg! That is a Corruptor. Anything it says will happen, but there is a restriction on the limit of that power. You should mainly worry about its physical skill, as it is also great at it."

Just after Ana finished saying that, she shot [ Star Revolver ], which also vanished after it uttered the word – disappear – again.

Ana had not only trained her entire life but also studied diligently. She had read many books and knew a lot of stuff about this world, so finding out what kind of demon the one in front of her, was nothing to her.

Hueg pondered deeply. 'This thing is also great physically, but that doesn't mean I can't just fight it at long range. I have to get close; that is where I shine.'

With [ Wind Thrust ], Hueg zoomed before the Corruptor and swung his sword. His sword slashed down on it at a fast speed, getting boosted by wind.

This still didn't make the Corruptor have a change in its expression, it just had that same creepy smile on its face and uttered. "Stop."

At that moment, Hueg's body came to a halt in the air, and his face contracted as he felt some invisible force controlling him.

The Corruptor shoved his right claw at Hueg's face, trying to rip it apart.

Time seemed to slow down for Hueg as he felt his death approaching gradually.

Bang!

At that moment, a white streak galloped through the air and hit the Corruptor's right claw, blowing it to smithereens.

Hueg felt his body being freed, and he quickly retreated back. The Corruptor got angry seeing its arms getting destroyed. It looked at the direction of the attack and saw a white haired girl clasping both of her hands and aiming both index fingers at it.

[ Star Caliber ], this was the name of this spell. It was like a sniper, which was one shot but with great penetration and destructive capability. This was shown through the Corruptor's shattered arm and the trees behind it having giant holes in them or some getting destroyed.

The Corruptor looked at Ana angrily, as if it wanted to tear her apart.

Ana was now kneeling on the ground on her right knee with her shaky hands. This was the first time she had tried this spell at full power, and it took a toll on her hands. 'I guess I have to exercise more.'

The Corruptor glared at Ana and aimed its right arm at her. It growled softly. "Come."

Ana's eyes widened as she felt her body getting pulled toward the Corruptor by some kind of force. But she didn't panic; instead, she said it with a smirk on her face. "Look below, you ugly demon."

The Corruptor didn't understand what Ana meant but still looked below, curious. It saw a giant blue magic circle underneath its feet.

Lily, who was far away, had her staff raised up, and sweat could be seen running down her body. She said this, gritting her teeth. " [ Jaws of Sea Predator ] "

Just as those words came out of Lily's mouth, a giant shark like beast's maws emerged out of the blue magic circle, completely engulfing the Corruptor in its sharp jaws.

Cruchhhhh!

The Corruptor's body got riddled with holes, and several parts of its bones got broken.

Then the spell ended, with the water not being held by any strong force, making it splash onto the ground along with the Corruptor.

Thud
