661 Passing the First Exam
The barrier magic altered its form as Vivindel easily adjusted its vine body to reshape the position of his vines, and Emeros began to summon a different word engraved in his body.
Dentor was called, and the barrier rose like a tree, bursting with life and challenging the heavens!
The shape of the dome became like a pyramid. It rose towards the second barrier and caused the invisible gravity magic to slide to the side!
As it extended upwards, it was like a large sword with a pyramid-shaped tip.
"How is his barrier able to move so fast?!
"Impossible! He managed to repel the gravity magic!" A Pedagog shouted in shock.
At once, the concentration point broke down, and all the magic being held back fell down all at once!
BOOM!
Ilevas saw it and frowned. He began to activate the secret art that heightened gravity. The Earthen Spirit Artifact was the resonating tool to amplify the element. To the knowledge of everyone else, it was Earthen magic. But the true power of gravity belonged to the realms of Time/Space magic!
The Earthen Spirit Artifact resonated and unleashed a terrifying power of gravity that shot down!
"Impressive magic, Teacher Emeros! But your ascension stops here!" The Two-Star Combat expert declared.
The weight of the magic was now stronger. It pushed down on everyone, and even the teachers nearby were being pushed down the floor.
"Ahhh!" A teacher cried as his body was digging down the hard floor.
The pyramid began to slow down as its peak could no longer rise.
But Emeros did not panic. He knew what element to use as he could easily determine the power.
FLASH!
His Elemental Fire core flashed, and everyone could see it.
"Fire?! He has an Elemental Fire core?!"
"As expected of someone with our heritage... But what can fire do against this?" Veynir chuckled as he began to command the circle to empower and strengthen the pouring of gravity.
Yet as the Fire Elemental Core within Emeros's soul glowed, no one could see the engraved letters of this core.
A word within the core began to glow.
[Histerion] began flicker!
Emeros raised his hands and shot a ball of fire.
The power of Brimstone shot up and devoured the Gravity magic, and it purged the elements approaching.
BLAST!
An explosion occurred and devoured the gravity.
"WHAT!?" The two experts controlling the formation were shocked.
But Emeros took advantage of the gap and shot as fast as it could.
The gravity poured down on him and shot out once more.
The sword rose higher, and Emeros was also rising as the vine staff he held was extending and pushing him upwards.
"Spin!" Emeros shouted, and the rising sword spun around as it deflected the magic!
A spark could be seen as the spin of Emeros caused the gravitational magic to be thrown at the side.
"I see! This is why he needed all the other teachers to stop moving and finally decided to help most of us get up here! It's the chaos of the magic!" Senior Teacher Zwelus exclaimed.
"What do you mean? Crea asked.
"The Earthen Spirit Artifact was designed to shoot its magic and attack everyone inside the formation! Because of this, the gravitational energy was always swirling about and had chaotic movement. But now that only a few remain, and Emeros is the main target, the gravity magic was stable and had a simple downward flow!"
"And he created a spin to deflect it! So if there were many of us attempting to rise up at the time he would perform this, this spin wouldn't work because of the great resistance!" Crea understood.
Emeros rose higher and higher, and another round of Brimstone energy gathered.
BOOM!
The second blast shot ahead and destroyed the second concentration point!
"Veynir! Let's teach this brat a lesson!" Ilevas began to gather Force and Magic, as did Veynir.
The Earthen Spirit artifact was the last concentration point and the source of the gravity magic. But with the prompting of the two experts, it glowed, and it shot gravity magic of condensed form.
A yellow crystal-like beam shot down towards Emeros.
Emeros revealed a sword, and suddenly, the circle around him glowed as he imbued it with Force Energy.
This was the moment of truth. Summoning magic was easy as the heritage of the lands had excellent knowledge of magic. But Force was a different story.
Emeros closed his eyes as the vision of Kyros appeared.
Kyros was a stellar swordsman who could cut mountains.
The tattoos around Emero's body began to glow. He wore clothing that hid this reaction, but if one could see, they would know that the letter that was now burning was the name of one powerful God.
[Hyperion] began to glow.
"[Force Slash]! Emeros shouted as he slashed the sword.
The power of True Cut was unleashed.
At the point where miracles were necessary, Emeros succeeded in creating one!
SLASH!
The Force Slash created a force energy that cut through the sword of gravity magic and struck the bottom of the Earthen Spirit Artifact!
SLASH!
A strange sound, like the cry of a child, was heard as the Earthen Spirit Artifact began to quiver.
The Energy Conversion Circle that contained and amplified the energy inside the Earthen Spirit Artifact began to grow unstable.
The energy that Ilevas was feeding on the artifact began to attack it.
The magic and force all rumbled within the artifact, and finally...
BOOM!
A bright light flashed as the Earthen Spirit Artifact exploded.
Ilevas and Veynir, who stood within the formation, received a backflow of energy and were thrown out of their places.
CRASH! CRASH!
And then, there was silence.
Everyone was shocked at what they saw. They couldn't believe it. Two Experts using a formation were thrown back by a mere boy.
"Unity... The energy conversion circle was not 'one' with the artifact. It was conducting the energy with it. Once the pathways of conduction were attacked, it would create chaos within. If this circle had been forged with a blacksmith, there would have been no problems.
And as you can see, the energy within the artifact was never stable. The dissonance of energy led to it erupting and collapsing from the very powers that created the gravity." Emeors spoke all this in one breath. He was panting and barely able to stand.
"That... was insane!" Emeros could barely hold himself. He was scarcely able to stand and was only supported by Vivindel.
His arms and legs all had numerous wounds as the power of True Cut shot out wildly and even wounded himself!
His entire body was also suffering from significant burns as the power of the Brimstone purged his own body!
He was without Force and magic. His entire body was suffering from grievous wounds.
Emeros had taken several pills to recover and replenish his own body.
The two experts floated above him and had an angry expression.
Of the two, Ilevas was enraged.
That artifact was his own weapon that he used to create gravity. The price of that artifact was immeasurable!
Pedagog of the Enchantments, you wouldn't even be an expert in combat! If your 14:25
brother was here, I'd be afraid, but you? Ha! Go pick up the scraps of your artifact! And "You dare to destroy my artifact!" Ilevas roared as he soared with great speed and power towards Emeros. His entire body was coated in dark energy as he flew with immense speed toward Emeros.
But at that moment...
BOOM!
Several powerful shields and magics appeared, but only the first one was necessary.
"Ilevas. Didn't you listen? The artifact was not broken by the teacher. You and Veynir broke it yourselves. Such a lesson should be important to you. I, myself, now have an idea how to defeat members of your family..." A woman chuckled as she stood in the way of Ilevas.
"Two Star Expert of Combat and Blacksmithery! Pedagog Elizabeth!" Principal Xilar exclaimed. He had moved to block the wild attack of Ilevas along with a few others, but the woman managed to block the entire attack with her bare hands!
"Elizabeth! Move away!"
"Or what? You'll disgrace the name of our land? Don't embarrass yourself. Without that artifact, I could break every bone in your body." Elizabeth chuckled.
Ilevas was fuming in rage, but he had no choice but to retreat.
"Veynir! You will pay for my losses!" Ilevas roared.
Veynir was in no mood to adjust to Ilevas.
"Oh, shut up! You were the one who volunteered for this test! My loss and wounds are because of the frail form of your earthen artifact! If not for your brother, Greater Pedagog of the Enchantments, you wouldn't even be an expert in combat! If your brother was here, I'd be afraid, but you? Ha! Go pick up the scraps of your artifact! And you owe me for my wounds!" Veynir showed no fear and fought back.
"Are you alright?" Elizabeth ignored the two and turned to Emeros.
"Yes." Emeros nodded.
"Huh? No resistance? Weird. Earlier, in that formation, I had a hard time lying." Emeros gave a suspicious expression.
Ilevas froze as he heard it and turned to Emeros in shock.
Many saw the reactions and took careful note of the scene.
Elizabeth chuckled.
"Idiot." She mocked Ilevas, who now realized what had happened.
