However, it was definitely not okay to let things slide. Sevia La's figure flashed, as she once again climbed in altitude. Her butterfly wings outstretched and extended, the black and crimson wings became eerie, as if eyes were patterned on them. Afterwards, one vortex after another appeared in the night sky, with blood-red roses blossoming within them.
Scattered petals fell, and from the Lava Lake, the Crimson Flame Spears shot out like a cavalry charge, led by the Spiral Flame Spear carrying a vast wave of fire.
The petals of annihilation destroyed the incoming Crimson Flame Spears, while Sevia La, using the rain of petals as cover, dived down. As she neared the Spiral Flame Spear, her figure flashed, transforming into seven different shadows, each bypassing the Spiral Spear.
Levito, who was looking up at the sky from the ground, waved his hand and the sky's Crimson Flame Spears exploded like firecrackers, one after another. The released flow of fire and blast waves dispersed the petals in the sky and Sevia La who was weaving through them.
When Sevia La reappeared after a few seconds, her body had already acquired many scorched marks, and her thigh bore traces of blast injuries, dripping dark red blood.
Temporarily stopping mid-air, with her current status, Sevia La judged that engaging Levito in close combat might not be advantageous to her.
Unwilling to imagine that just a few hours after their second confrontation, the outcome of the fight had changed dramatically. On Sevia La's end, there was no longer the advantage of information and initiative, and Levito also made significant changes according to his own weaknesses and his opponent's strengths.
Sevia La's gaze was tightly fixed on Levito below, she was silent for several seconds, seemingly treating the wounds on her body, or perhaps making some kind of determination.
She no longer descended; instead, she continued to ascend, leaving the range of the Flame Lance attacks being launched from the ground.
Golden particles sprinkled on the wings behind her, Sevia La's speed of flight grew faster and faster, her figure almost invisible to the naked eye. Then, a puff of vapor exploded, and her form once again broke through the limits, surpassing the speed of sound.
At this moment, Levito was helpless against Sevia La. Such a far distance made it difficult to lock on, and ordinary Flame Lances could hardly track her. He could only watch helplessly as Sevia La gradually metamorphosed, her body becoming lighter, and the once black and crimson wings on her back slowly turning into a kaleidoscope of colors, reminiscent of the stained glass in a cathedral.
In the end, Sevia La's figure became translucent, and her speed finally slowed down, she made a turn in her trajectory and stopped in the night sky.
Now, her eyes half-closed, her body faintly visible, her wings behind her transparent like night fireflies, continuously sprinkling light gold fragments. Even the corners of her eyes showed pale gold elongated eyeliners, lending an eerie look to her face.
"Arcane Art: Fairy Incarnation of the Golden Lands"
This was a secret technique that forcibly transformed one's body into a fairy's shape. Of course, the side effects were enormous; typically, even among the Sequence 6 of the Natural Sequence, not many could fully master this ability.
Unlike the legendary act of singing the seven ballads that open the gateway to the land of the Fairies, and thus perfectly transforming into a fairy, this spell forcibly twisted one's own form into that of a fairy, so the side effects and damage were substantial.
But despite the tremendous price, the boost in combat power it provided was unimaginable.
"Arcane Art: Flash of a Moment of the Golden Lands"
Sevia La's form was like lightning, nearly appearing in front of Levito in the blink of an eye, a golden flash streaked by him. In an instant, eleven sword strikes pierced through, and then Sevia La stood above the charred, shattered rocks, coughing blood, leaning on her sword.
Behind her, Levito's legs were severed, one arm broken, one wrist fallen, and three crossed deep gashes on his chest. He toppled into the Lava Lake and was engulfed by the fiery magma.
A cold wind surged, and the originally roiling Lava Lake cooled down, after which medical staff rushed to rescue the unconscious Levito, picking up his charred limbs along the way, placing them in a rescue pod to carry away.
The fierce combat that had been in full swing ended abruptly within a second, a change so drastic that the audience couldn't react. Later, they slowly came to their senses, some astonished by Sevia La's terrifying lethality, some curious about the arcane art she used, and others worried for Levito who had limbs severed, among other things.
"Victory to Saint Ingo Academy!" The referee's declaration came belatedly, and by then, Sevia La was also being supported down by her own academy's personnel to rest and recover.
One minute later, in the Saint Ingo Academy's preparation hall.
Sevia La, who had just defeated an enemy in a flash on the battlefield, now lay inside a Healing Restoration Medical Pod, surrounded by several High Rank physicians checking her body's condition and performing Healing Potions secret techniques.

Next to the equipment, medical personnel in white coats were continuously calculating treatment plans based on the results of the analysis and tests. Mere moments passed until the tubes on Sevia La's body began to flow with expensive Healing Restoration Potions to help her recover as quickly as possible.
"Master Blavins, how long will it take for a full recovery?" a few directors inquired to the main treating physician who was standing nearby.
"At least one hour, and that's under the best medical conditions," the physician replied, adjusting his glasses. The sage badge on his chest reflected flashes of light.
Badge: Ezqir Blavins, Radiant Feather Sequence 7, Scar Healing Professor
"Can't it be sped up a bit?" Though they knew the likelihood was slim, the directors couldn't help but ask.
"No, that's actually the best estimate. It's the result I came up with after calculating the most expensive and suitable potions, personnel, and methods into the mix. We are already at the limit," he said.
