Chapter 326 Legacy Vs. Legacy [Part 3]
Despite almost being blown off the arena, Ethan didn’t feel any worry.
In fact, he was feeling something that he had never felt for a long time.
The last thing he had this feeling was when he was fighting against the Necromancer in the Battle of Zentris.
Back then, he was fighting almost without magic, simply relying on the power of the Legacy he was using right now.
Since the battlefield was near the Sea, he was able to use the power of the Tide Bringer forcefully changing the battlefield to his favor.
Lilian’s fight against the Water Sprites helped him understand that although he was using the power of the Storm that was currently pouring down over the arena, his control over it wasn’t as refined as he did when he summoned a Thunderstorm near the sea.
If it was, he wouldn’t be having a hard time controlling the Water Dragons, making them do his bidding.
The most he did was increase their speed, controlling them to ram their bodies against his opponent with the intention of testing out ways he could refine his battle style on land.
His original plan was to create variations, like the Dragons that Sebastian created for his training. He wanted them to have different abilities, but it was too taxing for him to do so. Because of this, he just settled for making all of them fast, to at least pressure his opponent.
Seeing that Cedric was preparing to unleash another barrage of light beams in his direction, Ethan raised the Sea God’s Trident, and called upon the power of the storm.
“Fulmina!” Ethan roared.
At that moment, a dozen lightning bolts descended from the sky, creating a deafening roar and blinding radiance, forcing the students and the staff of the academy to close their eyes and cover their ears.
After the lightning bolts were harnessed by the Sea God’s Trident, Ethan pointed it at Cedric and unleashed its full might.
The countless beams of light and the lightning bolts merged into one form and collided with each other.
A few seconds later, a shock wave erupted mid-air, blowing away the two combatants.
However, even before the light receded, a resounding clash of metals reverberated in the Grand Coliseum as Ethan and Cedric finally engaged each other in close combat.
The handsome young man took three steps back, while the Second Year skidded several meters away after their first clash.
When it came to raw strength, Ethan was still superior, but that didn’t faze Cedric.
Flapping his wings, and increasing his speed, he rained countless sword strikes on Ethan, his blows carrying the momentum of his flight.
This made his blows heavier and stronger, allowing him to compensate for the difference in strength between the two of them.
The raindrops that were falling around them froze mid-air, turning into countless water bullets the size of a grain of rice.
They then flew towards Cedric, pummeling his body repeatedly, while Ethan endured the blows that would have already sent an ordinary human flying.
At first, Cedric didn’t mind the attacks that were descending upon him. Although they were numerous, they didn’t have that much power to threaten him.
But, half a minute later, the water bullets that were only as big as a grain of rice became bigger, as the raindrops merged with each other.
This time, their size was the size of a golf ball.
Cedric grunted after being hit dozens of times, and was forced to rise up towards the sky, using his dome of light to shield himself.
He was flying so fast that half a minute later, he broke past through the clouds, letting the light of the sun fall upon his body.
“Canticum Lucis!”
A golden halo of light appeared on top of Cedric’s head. The number wings behind his back increased tp four as he unlocked the Third Level of his Legacy, which was the “Song Of Light”.
A giant sword of light that was dozens of meters long hovered above him.
This was his strongest attack, and he would end the battle with this one strike.
“Barret,” Professor Rinehart called out to his friend using telepathy.
“I know,” Professor Barret replied.
The two strongest Wizards of Brynhildr Academy both waved their wands, reinforcing the protecting arrangements that were placed on the arena, as well as the stands where the students were seated.
Ethan narrowed his eyes as he raised his hand, gathering the power of the storm around him.
“Grand Aria,” Ethan said with a determined look on his face.
The wind and rain gathered around him, creating a miniature tornado. Countless lightning bolts descended from the heavens as if the young man was calling all of them to aid him in one last strike.
Using the entirety of the storm as a source of power, Ethan held his Sea God’s Trident that was now imbued by countless lightning bolts, snaking up his arm and throughout his entire body.
Cedric, who had gathered the powers he needed to end the battle, pointed at the young man standing on top of the arena, who was thinking the same thing as him.
“Lex Eterna!” Cedric roared as the Giant Sword of Light descended, carrying his Divine Might.
“Triaina!” Ethan shouted as he, too, threw the Divine Weapon in his hand towards the sword that was descending from the heavens.
A crisp, cracking sound, that was similar to the peeling of thunder, reached everyone’s ears.
For a brief moment, all sound from the surroundings disappeared, or at least this was what everyone thought.
The truth was, the sound of the collision of the two powers were so strong, that it momentarily deafened everyone.
Some even felt a strong pain in their ears as their eardrums ruptured, not able to bear the weight of the two Legacy Spells that were trying to overpower each other.
The Guardian of Brynhildr Academy, transformed into her Valkyrie Form and pointed her spear at the Grand Coliseum.
“Kyrie Eleison!” Brynhild stated.
Immediately, the entire arena was coated with a golden dome of light, including Ethan, and Cedric, who had unleashed the powers that only those who held a Legacy inside their bodies were able to wield.
““Kyrie Eleison!””
Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret reinforced Brynhildr’s spell.
Just as their spells had covered everyone in the arena, a powerful explosion erupted in the sky, making everyone remember the day when two Legacy Spells detonated at the same time.
