Chapter 318 1 Vs 100 (Tools Are Handy)



As Aizel deftly dodged the spears coming at him, his moves became a mesmerizing dance of speed and accuracy.

With each step, he avoided the dangerous projectiles by moving in perfect sync with his surroundings.

His focus remained unyielding, and his eyes locked on Kelvin as he steadily closed the distance between them.

"How about this?" Kelvin said.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Aizel's feet was shifting and altering as he made his way toward Kelvin. 

His sharp instincts alerted him to the danger as multiple iron traps materialized, their menacing spikes gleaming in the darklight.

Aizel knew that if he made a mistake, it would be disastrous, as the traps were designed to sever limbs in an instant.

With a fiery determination, Aizel leaped into the air, using his fire abilities to propel himself forward.

As he flew toward Kelvin, Sekki obeyed his order and split into many blades that flew through the air. 

Three or four swords flew through the air with their sharp tips pointed right at Kelvin.

"You have an interesting weapon, but still, it won't be enough."

Many shields started to materialize in front of Kelvin to block the attack. But his eyes widened as he caught sight of the lightning sparks blazing behind the protective barrier, despite the shields initially blocking his direct assault. 

In a swift and cunning maneuver, Aizel utilized his lightning-infused Sekki clone to swap places with it, instantly appearing near Kelvin.

Aizel threw a few small containers at Kelvin. As the containers made contact with the shield, a series of beeps and glows emanated from them.

Then, in a fiery explosion, the containers erupted, obliterating the shield and sending Kelvin hurtling through the air, his body tossed aside like a mere puppet.

Swiftly evading the incoming spears, Aizel surged forward with lightning speed, closing the distance between himself and Kelvin in an instant.

Kelvin quickly regained control of his body and created a shining sword, ready to fight Aizel's attack. 

"THERE IS ONLY ME WHO CAN BE GORGEOUS!! NO ONE DESERVE TO BE MORE HANDSOME THAN ME!!!!"

Kelvin yelled.

As fast as lightning, their swords clashed, and Kelvin quickly found himself at a loss against Aizel's incredible skills. 

But he had a hard time keeping up with Aizel's sword swings.

Undeterred, Kelvin swiftly adapted, conjuring small daggers from thin air and sending them hurtling toward Aizel in a coordinated assault. 

However, Aizel's agility and mastery of acrobatics allowed him to effortlessly evade and deflect each dagger, countering with his own swift strikes.

As the dance of blades got faster, the sound of steel hitting steel and the crackle of magical energy filled the air. 

How can he be so good at everything? I can't lose to him...

"IRFRIT NOW,"

*VROOOOOOM*

A sudden surge of brilliant blue flames erupted from Aizel's armor, enveloping the surrounding area with scorching heat. 

The intense flames quickly burned up the coming daggers, leaving nothing but ashes.

Kelvin's once-powerful shields and sword started to melt under the constant attack of the inferno, leaving him powerless.

With Sekki transforming into a chain-like form, Aizel seized the opportunity to ensnare Kelvin's leg, causing him to stumble and crash to the ground. 

Sensing his advantage, Sekki morphed into a sturdy gauntlet on Aizel's right hand.

"It's time to give you a good beating," Aizel said.

Aizel's fists turned into a whirlwind of brutal blows, frequently hitting Kelvin in the face with unyielding force. 

Each impact left its mark, painting a grotesque tableau of blood and bruises.

? ? ? ? ? ?.

The sound of bones meeting metal echoed through the air. With each blow, Kelvin's ability to fight back grew weaker, and his once-brave spirit grew weaker as well.

[Fufufhahaha, Kill him, turn his face into squashed meat]

Aizel's relentless assault came to an abrupt halt as he glanced at Kelvin, who lay on the ground, battered and barely recognizable.

The once arrogant and powerful mage now had a depressed and painful expression. 

[What are you doing, Master? Reduced this guy into ash]

Calm down, idiot. Did you forget who he is? We already had so many problems; do you want Queen to get more enraged and go after the kids and others?

"OYE ASSHOLE!! Listen, I am leaving you now; just stay here like this till the battle is over. If you come again, I will kill you without mercy."

With a rush of lightning energy coursing through his veins, Aizel moved away from the battlefield in the blink of an eye. 

His body quickly vanished into the forest, blending in with the shadows and foliage around him.

[32 Down, Master]

Hmm,"

"YEAHHHH!!!!!

"AIZEL!!

"AIZEL!!

"AIZEL!!

"He has doneeeee itttttt....." Shoka's voice boomed and made the already excited crowd go wild once again.

"Who would have thought that this young mage could defeat so many mages in such a short period of time? ABSOLUTELY GENIUS..."

"And what are those tools? Just how good is he? Can he defeat them all?"

"YES!

"YES!

"YES!I think you should take a look at

The Beast Kingdom balcony,

"Nice warning, Katherine," The Dark Elf Queen said.

"How can you feel something like this? I know you guys have abilities, but he is still a lowly Grade II human mage."The Elf King said.

Both Rayla and Katherine's eyes widen when they hear that.

This idiot..."Katherine thought.

"He is powerful and smart, no doubt, but he won't be able to win the battle. In the end, I can see our mages winning the battle with ease," He further added with a smile.

***

The Theodora Kingdom Balcony,

"At least he has some brain to leave that idiot alive," The eldest daughter said.

"Did you see that, Erina? Now I want him more." The Queen's eyes sparkled as she watched Aizel on the screen.

"Vespara really knows how to choose a disciple," Erina replied, her brows twitching in annoyance a little.

"I will let you handle her after I get my hands on that kid; you won't disappoint me like others, right?"

"Yes, mother. I already have a bone to pick against her."

***

The Zulivan Kingdom Balcony,

"This kid will cause us problems if he somehow manages to win this," The king said.

"Don't worry, my King. First, there's only a 1% chance of him winning this. Even if he wins, I doubt he will do any better in the team competition."

"What do you think, Gremola?" The king asked, glancing towards the woman who was sitting with Isabella.

"Don't worry, brother. Whatever happens, he will be part of our family. The kid wishes to live a peaceful life and will seek our help in the future," 

"Did you already meet him?"

"Yes, he is Isabella's close friend."

"Interesting. I hope he can survive this battle. By the way, where is Zephyrus? Why is he not here?"

"As usual, roaming here and there,"

***

The Felgura Kingdom Balcony,

"Ahahahaha... You taught him well, Aquarian." Yongiri laughed and said.

"To be honest, he didn't even use anything that I taught him," Aquarian replied.

"Those tools are really handy and can save your core energy very much," Elric Crestfall commented.

"By the looks of the storage rings he's wearing on every finger, he has come prepared," Madam Evergreen said.

"Did you see that Daisy... Softie will win easily."

"Yes," Daisy replied with a smile.

"Soren, what are the chances of him winning this battle?" Zareena asked.

While Soren ponders, everyone's ears perk up, wanting to hear his answer.

"30%" Soren replied.

"What about surviving?" Raven asked.

"50%"

"He could have easily won the battle if only normal Grade III mages were taking part in the battle.

"But there are a few guys there; that will be a problem for him. And taking them all one by one or all together while still being a Grade II mage reduces his chances a lot.

At a random small village, in a small tavern,

Grandmaster Gogo was sitting and drinking his drink with a random person who was sitting beside him.

"How did you even find me?" He asked.

"I have my ways," The random person replied in a deep voice.

"So why are you here? I am not in the mood to fight now."

"Just have a feeling that you might create some problems today."

Grandmaster Gogo's gaze suddenly became serious.

"What will you do then? Will you try to stop me?" He asked.

"Hmm.... I don't know. I was just told to keep an eye on you."

***

[Master, many mages are heading for us from every direction]

"Yeah, I hope we won't find someone strong now. I am a little tired."

In the heart of the forest, Aizel stumbled upon a serene and pristine lake. Without hesitation, he dove into the water, plunging into its cool depths. 

Reaching the bottom of the lake, Aizel retrieved a small container hidden within his robes. With a swift twist, he released the contents—a swirling cloud of ominous black and crimson gas.

He immediately put on a mask designed for just such situations, creating a barrier between himself and the noxious fumes.

Aizel found a quiet spot underwater and got into a meditative pose with his body hanging in the calm depths.
