Chapter 67 Chapter 63 - Arcana Academy Entrance Exams III

-Clang!

-Pang!

-Twoosh!

-Boom!

-Thrack!

Different spells and weapon arts could be seen flying around the entirety of the arena.

The candidates who had now resolved themselves to survive till the very end, kept giving everything they had to have the upper hand and luckily for them, it was working out.

Unexpected alliances had been formed between many of the youths who were still left in the arena and as a result, they were doing a good job of taking down as many of the robotic monsters.

When Derek had mentioned that they wouldn't have time to even attack themselves, some had brushed it off as unbelievable but now, here they were, completely discarding any such thoughts of it and working together just to survive.

Some candidates however, had no need to form any alliance of their own as these guys were literally a walking powerhouse in their own right for their young age.

Attracting the most attention from the audience presently was the Crown Prince of Arcadia, the longsword he was holding gleaming in the sunlight and dripping with black oil as he stood in the midst of five robotic elemental golems he had put down, a testament to his prowess with the sword.

Yet despite this, three more robotic golems rushed at him, each of them with the different affinities of water, flame and wind as they opened their mechanized palms to shoot out various programmed spells.

Adrian merely smirked at this sight and instantly dashed towards them from where he was, his shoulder length long red hair fluttering in the wind as he swiftly appeared directly behind one of the golems, the wind-based one to be exact, and sliced both of its leg off in one simultaneous motion.

This caused the wind-based golem to instantly come crashing down on its own outstretched palms that was about to fire a devastating wind bomb but instead, the spell had ended up colliding with the ground as it fell on it, the kickback of its own spell quickly dispatching the golem itself and blowing a gaping hole through its chest, all of its internal circuitry in full view.

As soon as this happened, Adrian immediately dashed towards the next two robotic elemental golems while also muttering his weapon art under his breath.

'{Sunburst Art – First Form: Dragon's Roar}'

Instantly, the red-haired youth's longsword began to glow with a radiant golden hue and its form started to extend to reveal the gigantic head of an incomplete dragon that was still merged with the body of the long sword, its mouth opened to release a devastating bite.

Adrian upon reaching the two golems, immediately jumped into the air and brought his longsword down with a downward slash, the dragon's head flowing at the body of his sword immediately chomping on the heads of the two robotic golems in one fell swoop, their spells immediately fizzling out as he did so.

"{Roseblade Art – First Form: Wisp's Embrace}!"

Instantaneously, Caroline's bladed whip elongated and dissipated into tiny petals of red roses and danced around the body of the trapped rhinobears, almost like a mini hurricane.

As soon as this had happened, the portion of the audience who were viewing her battle, watched as all that was left of the robotic rhinobears were their dismembered parts lying about on the ground, all in a span of a few seconds.

However, as Caroline watched her bladed whip return back to its original form while taking a deep breath, she suddenly jumped backwards as another robotic monster in the form of a flaming basilisk landed just in front of her and directly on the spot she previously was at.

The flaming basilisk immediately opened its mechanical mouth wide while aiming a condensed ball of fire that was building up in its mouth at Caroline, all in a matter of seconds without even giving her time to completely recover.

Following this, the ruby-eyed lady had immediately retrieved one of her daggers from her spatial ring but before she could do anything, something whistled past her cheek.

-Whish!

As soon as the programmed robotic basilisk was about to release its concentrated beam of flames, Caroline had watched as an arrow swooshed past her and headed directly into the mouth of the flaming basilisk.

"Jump back further!" she heard a feminine voice call out to her with urgency.

Caroline upon realizing that whoever it was that had fired the arrow seemingly wanted to help her, did as she was told and jumped further backwards as the robotic basilisk exploded into metallic pieces and a small cloud of mushroom smoke.

The silky-black haired lady then turned her head around to look at whoever it was that had helped her and was quite surprised to see, that it was one of the geniuses all of Arcadia had been talking about for almost a month and a few weeks now.

"So, I don't really know how noble etiquettes work but I guess I'll just start by introducing myself" Ivelia said loudly whilst still standing on a tree branch of one of the remaining trees that had been left intact during the rhinobears rampaging assault.

"There's no need to. Everyone who isn't living under a rock right now should know who you are" Caroline responded back, her voice a few volumes higher than usual due to the racket of noises caused by other candidate's battles that were still ongoing.

She wanted to ensure that Ivelia heard her loud and clear.

Just as Ivelia wanted to respond though, another robotic arachnoworm tried to assault her but instead, all it got to its mouth as it tried to open it wide to fire a searing flame of net was a transparent vile containing a clear liquid.

As soon as the vial cracked in its mouth though, the metallic hybrid of a worm and a spider exploded in a huge radius like a firecracker and scattered the robotic beast into tiny little pieces, detailing just how dangerous whatever was inside the vile of glass Ivelia had thrown was.

Caroline widened her eyes at this and immediately looked back at Ivelia warily.

The orange-haired lady however, kept staring with squinted eyes at the immensely large yet localized explosion she had caused, beads of sweat dripping from her face, probably due to the explosion itself and also her fighting with robotic monsters for the past ten minutes.

"Seriously. I need to conduct more tests and reduce the explosive radius of that potion..." Ivelia muttered aloud while jumping from the tree branch and landing just a few meters away from Caroline with a gentle thud.
