Vale didn't mind this arrangement so he immediately agreed.
Philip then took the projection device that would allow them to watch the contents of the crystal. The mechanical device reminded Vale of the projector in his past life.
Philip simply put the Crystal like some sort of Compact Disk inside the projection device and soon, the device activated.
It indeed seems like a projector as they have to use the wall of the room to view its content!
'Impressive… This is made through Mechanical Alchemy? Or is it just a normal technological advancement of this era?' Vale mused as he started watching the battle from the referee's view.
That's right!
Vale was actually surprised after realizing this. He thought he'll be watching it from the audience or spectator's perspective or even from the bird's eye perspective.
This is much better than he thought!
It is closer to the duelists on the stage and he could even clearly see their faces.
"Miles Ellis of the Necromancer Branch versus Rayleigh Henry of the Dark Magic Branch. Your battle starts… now."
The referee announces and his voice seems quite young. Vale could guess that it was a student referee even if he can't see him.
Miles Ellis is a female student with long black hair and dark patches on her natural white skin. Except for a book in her right hand, she doesn't seem to have other weapons. In the meantime, Rayleigh Henry is a male student who is wielding a staff. However, the staff doesn't seem like a weapon meant for striking but for casting spells.
The staff looks like a frozen blue snake, on its end was the snake's mouth biting a fist-size red orb.
These mystical items weren't on the list they'd studied. They would probably learn more about this in the next few classes.
Philip and Priscilla were also watching the recording with full attention. No matter what, this will broaden their horizon about the real battle between spellcasters.
They know that this type of battle is nothing compared to Vale and Wilfred's match…
As soon as the battle started, it only took half a second before Miles summoned three types of undead.
There was a Slender Zombie, an Infested Zombie, and an Assassin Zombie.
The Slender Zombie is similar to what he had read in books. They are skinny, tall, and have extraordinarily long limbs…
The Infested Zombie is probably weighing about 600 kilograms in weight as it looked like a human ball with a stomach that seem to have mutated into a huge mouth!
The Assassin Zombie, on the other hand, has a figure that is similar to a normal adult human male and the only difference is that its nails were four or five inches long and they seem to be made of a special alloy.
What surprised Vale for a moment was their nonexistent clothes… It seems he was influenced by many games and movies in his past life where all the zombies have torn pants or shredded shorts on their lower bodies.
Well, this is probably because they were summoned by a Necromancer from the underworld or something instead of being infected by a zombie virus…
Anyway, Vale shifted his focus to Rayleigh.
The latter simply summoned a Dark Mist that covers about 3 meters in radius. It is not to disrupt Miles but to hide his own presence!
'So it can be used like that…' Vale mused.
However, this move was futile…
The Assassin Zombie seems to be more excited after the Dark Mist was summoned! It pounced toward Rayleigh and attempted to tear him apart!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
From within the Darkness, Vale and the others heard a clashing noise and sparks would appear from time to time…
At this moment, they realized that Rayleigh have the means to deal with the Assassin Zombie in close combat!
Unfortunately, they can't see the battle because of the Dark Mist. They also can't use their Magic Zone to sense the situation since this is only a battle recording.
Nevertheless, Miles seems to be worried about something as she ordered the Slender Zombie to assist the Assassin in battle.
As for the Infested Zombie, it probably couldn't move from its position as its task seems to be to defend Miles from any harm.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Soon, the Slender Zombie continuously attacked… It didn't care whether it would hit the Assassin Zombie inside the Dark Mist…
Everything happened so quickly as Vale realized the terrifying speed of the Slender Zombie.
Boom!
After a series of attacks inside the Dark Mist, the spell finally reached its limit as Rayleigh's figure was shown to everyone.
"Ah?"
The spectators in the recordings, Vale, Philip, and Priscilla had the same reaction. Rayleigh was unscathed!
As Vale was wondering what kind of trick did he use to do this, he realized that the orb of the snake staff was glowing faintly…
"Do you guys know about that snake staff?" Vale asked.
"Not really… However, I have a guess. The orb seems to be similar to the ones used in Dark Alchemy. It works similarly to Destruction Orb that we heard in class but it should be stronger than that…" Priscilla answered as she was also trying to figure out the mystical item being used.
After pointing this out, Vale realized that the Assassin Zombie had its nails broken and some of them turned dull.
It appears that the staff was capable of providing a strong defense to its wielder.
However, the Slender Zombie doesn't seem to be injured or damaged in any way…
Whoosh~
In the blink of an eye, Rayleigh's figure dissipated like a cloud of smoke and reappeared close to Miles…
This time, he was already covered by the Cloak of Darkness spell! It is a Tier 2 Dark Spell and is one of the most popular spells among Dark Spellcasters.
As Miles was about to get bombarded by three Curse Spells that Rayleigh released upon his reappearance, something unexpected happened…
The Infested Zombie moved and its strange Stomach Mouth opened widely before swallowing her whole!
Rayleigh was momentarily stunned after losing his target… Nevertheless, he still laughed it off and spoke with interest.
"Haha! I didn't know you can do that with an Infested Zombie… Isn't it disgusting inside?"
