At that moment, Ragna crazily dashed to the middle of the arena while releasing a terrifying aura.

Elias calmly accelerated his steps.

While running, he steadily gathered some of his mana while charging to the middle of the arena.

Woosh!

Then, as soon as both of them were within reach of each other, they both released their respective attacks!

It was like two cannon balls crossing each other, flaring of destructive power and sheer oppressive physical strength!

Boom—!

At that moment, a loud explosion resounded!

The wind shook as dust erupted, covering their figures as both of them stopped for a moment.

Elias and Ragna stared at each other in the middle of the arena, both of their fist colliding with each other.

Their eyes flickered as a smile rose on their face.

At this moment, both of them seemed to have come into a slight understanding with each other.

''He's strong.''

Both of them thought at the same time.

Ragna had his doubts about Elias's strength, but now... he was sure.

This was the same man that made him bleed.

It was one thing to feel it once, but another thing to experience it again. Now, he had no doubts.

Elias Corleone was a worthy opponent.

In their first exchange of attacks, both of them didn't use any of their magical abilities or special skills.

They only used their body reinforcement techniques.

It was just an attack of pure physical strength reinforced with mana, nothing less and nothing more.

Their fist, bloodied and bruised, went against each other in a contest of pure physical strength.

They were testing each other through that exchange, and most certainly the result didn't disappoint both of them.

But...

Who was stronger?

In terms of physical strength, it was without a doubt Ragna.

Although both of their arms were broken and bruised, Elias had received more damage than Ragna overall.

'A physical monster... so this is Ragna Newgate. His physical strength isn't any less than Garuda in his peak... as expected of the future [One For All] — a physical strength that defied logic.'

Elias thought with a smile. He looked at his hand and saw that it was broken. With a quick shake, he returned it back to its former state.

Crack—!

"Not bad, you're strong."

"I could say the same to you, Corleone."

Ragna replied, seemingly impressed. He gazed at his right hand as his lips rose to a wild grin.

His right hand was roughly the same, broken and bruised. But it was not like he had not experienced it before.

Unlike Elias, he had natural experience with this sort of thing. He had resistance as well. It was all too common for a man that dwelled in the unexplored mountains.

But he had to admit... It was exceedingly rare for him to get injured physically against an opponent of the same rank.

Other than a few exceptions, rarely did he ever come across an opponent that could contest him physically.

Even more impressive, 99% of them were mutated beasts, and the sole 1% was his master, the Old Man of the Mountain.

But now... he could put Elias Corleone in that small, and tiny 1% of humans that can be equal to him in physical strength.

Looking at Elias's casual appearance, Ragna grinned. He took a step back and used one of his signature skills.

[Dragon Fist]—!

A scarlet phantom dragon suddenly erupted from his shoulder, and as though a serpent of death, it coiled around his entire arm.

As Ragna breathed, the red phantom dragon slowly spun around and glared at Elias with its bright sharp eyes.

Howl—!

But in response, Elias smiled casually. He simply stood and assumed a stance with both of his hands clenched.

'Huh? Don't tell me...'

Ragna was surprised for a moment. For a moment, even he was shocked by Elias response.

But as soon as he realized Elias intentions, he didn't think any further — he had to grant the man his wish.

Ragna gathered power in his hand. He welcomed Elias attempt with an exceedingly wide smile that seemed too excited to act.

'Elias Corleon, is it arrogance? Or is it confidence? Survive this then!'

Whoosh!

At that moment, Ragna released his fist. The red dragon coiling around his arm howled in scarlet fury!

Elias, without intention to dodge, took the full brunt of the attack. His expression instantly changed.

Gasp—!

With Ragna's unrivaled physical strength and the addition of Dragon Fist, Elias felt like a cannon had hit him.

It eerily reminded him of his training with Tauros.

So brutish, and so rough. Elias thought. It was unrivaled physical strength that made one submit through sheer ferocity.

But...

Despite that, he wasn't blown away. He remained standing on his spot, unmoved. It was as though he wasn't hit at all.

His body didn't tremble, shake, or anything. He didn't even take a step back despite the ferocity of the attack.

Elias was as calm as a steady mountain.

The very definition of immovable.

'By using [Expound] and [Contain] I increased my defenses to multiple folds... I call this the 'Great Wall'.'

Elias's head slowly rose. His eyes flickered a red light, one that reminded Ragna of a wild beast.

He raised his hand and wiped the trail of blood on the corner of his lips. Then, a smile rose on his face as he took a step back.

"...Playtime is over. It's my turn."

Elias clenched his right fist tightly.

Using [Limit] and [Contain] — his mana reserves suddenly halved, but made a qualitative transformation.

Although [Limit] sounded like a detriment, it was perhaps his most absurd and overpowered skill.

[Limit] could transform the quality of his mana in exchange for some of his mana reserves. If he exchanged enough, he could even turn his mana into a Rank C one!

However, if he did do that, it was likely that he would be limited to one attack only.

Regardless, a skill that could transform the quality of mana like a Rank Advancement... they were exceedingly rare.

Perhaps only ten students in the entire academy have such a skill, and two of them were Rain and Lance.

As soon as he felt that it was enough. Elias stopped gathering and slowly raised his fist while his eyes gleamed.

"Come!"

Ragna seemingly excited, simply stood with a wild grin. He spread his arms widely as he seemed all too ready to receive the attack. nove-lb-In

But then, his pupils dilated.

Deat—

At that moment, Elias used [Transfer] as he propelled his fist forward like a raging meteor to Ragna!
