Chapter 814 Children need the right education
Vorenus had never imagined he could win.
Using teleportation in front of Amy was a huge risk.
He thought Amy might disdain to attack him while he teleported, but he also believed it was impossible for him to land a hit on Amy under those circumstances.
Yet, against all odds, he succeeded.
He actually managed to hit Amy.
The feeling was incredibly surreal.
How could it have been successful?
Seeing Amy lying in the huge crater, Vorenus could hardly believe his eyes.
Was this the same person who could easily suppress her own power?
Amy didn't concede defeat,she soared into the sky to continue the battle with Vorenus.
It was clear that close combat wasn't Amy's strong suit, especially without weapons.
After this round of fighting, Vorenus quickly realized that Amy might not be as strong as he had thought.
This was his warrior's intuition.
Amy had to gesture every time she cast a spell.
Although her movements were quick, speed is relative.
In the time it took Amy to gesture her spells, Vorenus could have attacked her hundreds of times.
Because of this, when Amy got up again, she faced a barrage of attacks and had no chance to retaliate.
Before she could complete her gestures, Vorenus's fists were already landing on her.
It was like a classic battle between a warrior and a mage.
Amy, the mage, got her spells interrupted every time.
In less than ten minutes, Amy, eyes red, pulled out the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian.
Even though she wore the battle armor given by the sea god Poseidon, Vorenus's punches landed solidly on her, some even hitting her face, causing unavoidable pain.
"Why can't I use a sword?" Amy shouted in protest.
Seeing her wield the Sword of the Abyssal Guardian, Vorenus instinctively backed away several hundred feet.
This was playing dirty!
"Miss, we agreed no weapons," Vorenus pleaded earnestly.
This kid was really pushing it!
"Your two masters must have taught you the importance of integrity. You must do as you say!" William didn't need to think twice,Poseidon wouldn't have taught Amy just spells and combat skills. He surely taught her some life lessons too.
Amy, at her young age, possessed so many top-tier artifacts and had formidable combat abilities. If not guided properly, she could easily stray onto the wrong path.
"I understand," Amy said, her head bowed. She took a deep breath, then looked up at William and said, "Mr. Johnson, I was wrong."
"Yes, recognizing your mistakes is good," William affirmed. He believed in some of the world's standards of right and wrong, many of which had arisen because of him.
William didn't believe in the inherent goodness of human nature.
At her age, if Amy wasn't guided properly, who knew what she might become.
Vorenus breathed a sigh of relief when Amy sheathed her sword.
Silas, seeing Amy return, eagerly looked up at Vorenus in the sky.
Mr. Johnson had said they would fight with their powers equalized.
Silas had rarely experienced real combat since he began his training.
Now that the opportunity was before him, he couldn't pass it up.
Even if the opponent was formidable, he wanted to try.
As a mid-level Soulmancer, Silas could already fly.
He flew up to Vorenus, wielding a small wooden sword.
Vorenus thought this was too easy.
Fighting Amy might have unnerved him, but fighting Silas...
Just a kid, and judging by his flying posture, a weak one at that.
"Begin!" William shouted from the mountaintop.
As soon as he spoke, Silas was sent flying with a punch from Vorenus.
What followed in the fight doesn't need to be said.
Silas was completely overpowered.
Despite all the spells he had learned from William, he couldn't use a single one.
In less than half a minute, he was bloodied and lying on the ground, barely breathing.
He didn't have Amy's array of top-tier artifacts to protect himself.
Injured, it was already fortunate he wasn't killed.
Vorenus smiled. According to the agreement, he could finally leave this world alive.
