Chapter 2246 Emnity

"No, I'm not going to let you," Lucius declared, a smirk playing on his lips.

Emery's eyes narrowed. He knew that Lucius had been meddling behind the scenes. Urix had informed him that his request to transfer Shinta to his hall had been delayed, all because of Lucius. The man had gone out of his way to block Emery's efforts, using his authority as the head of half-blood representation in the academy.

Now, with Lucius standing before him, Emery felt his resolve harden. He was determined to take Shinta away, no matter what it took.

"You can't just do whatever you want... Even if she is your blood... in this academy... I own her," Lucius said, his voice dripping with condescension.

The words were meant to provoke, and they did. Emery could feel his blood boiling, the urge to fight rising within him. Although he knew there were other ways to resolve the situation, the sheer audacity of Lucius's claim ignited a fire in him that was difficult to ignore.

Magus Beatrice, the Hall 9 assistant instructor, quickly stepped between the two, trying to defuse the tension. Turning to Emery, he said, "This is all just an accident... Please, calm down..."

But Emery wasn't in the mood for calm. Without a word, he called forth Livi, the Baphomet, to carry the unconscious Shinta out of the arena, his intent clear.

Seeing this, Beatrice turned to Lucius, concern etched on his face. "Chief... this is unnecessary, please stop this."

BAAMMM!!!

The sound of the impact echoed like a thunderclap, reverberating through the arena. The [Void Blade], one of the sharpest enhancements, managed to pierce an inch into Lucius's golden-hued flesh. The sharp edge cut through the outer layers, drawing blood, but Lucius's formidable ability prevented the claw from going any deeper.

Four of the Hall 9 assistant instructors—both Magus and Grand Magus—quickly sprang into action, erecting a powerful barrier around the arena to protect the acolytes from the escalating battle. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and the energy from the clash crackled through the air like a storm.

But Emery had no intention of backing down. He could feel the edge of his claw digging into Lucius's flesh, and he knew that if he kept pressing, he could deliver a critical wound. With fierce determination, he poured even more power into his claws, the energy of Khaos pulsing with a dark intensity.

Lucius, despite the smile on his face, couldn't hide the strain in his eyes. The cheerful facade was slipping as he realized the severity of the situation. Knowing that he could no longer hold back, Lucius finally unleashed the full power of his domain. The air around him shimmered as his body was enveloped in another layer of protection and with a forceful push, Lucius managed to drive Emery back a few steps, breaking the deadlock. "Good, that was more like it," Lucius said, his voice laced with both relief and renewed confidence. The second clash left its mark on Lucius, even if it was just a minor wound. The sight of blood, however small, was enough to shift the dynamic between them. Emery, noticing the subtle change in Lucius's expression, couldn't help but push further.

"There's no need for a third strike, Now let's fight for real!"

Lucius let out a hearty laugh, "Hahaha, alright! If you can defeat me, I'll let you and your acolytes take our hall!"

The acolytes watching from behind the protective barrier began to grasp the deeper implications of this confrontation. It wasn't just a personal feud—it was a battle that reflected the division within the half-blood communities.

Just as the two were about to unleash their full power, a figure suddenly stepped into the arena. The one person who could diffuse the situation.

"Father, please stop it... you... you are embarrassing me,"
