Chapter 909: Invincible Silver Dragon (4k)
Yet, even so, it would not last long.
Vini Scarlet subconsciously felt the pressure emanating from the other party.
That pressure was like being stared at by a gigantic white dragon peering down from the clouds, causing one to shiver uncontrollably.
Pandora Dragon had become even stronger in her impression!
“…”
“Gurgle.”
Evan Pearson instinctively swallowed his saliva, but he himself did not notice.
At this moment, he was like most of the students watching inside the ring, instinctively focusing all his attention on the ongoing duel.
“Draconian…”
He whispered out a word, attributing the power of the duelist on the field to their race.
Humans had always done this.
A corner of the ring revealed the figure of Archbishop Caleb Norris. Professor Heldred Bode sat beside him with his arms crossed. They had actually been sitting there since the beginning of the quarter-finals of the Golden Cup, but they had never drawn much attention.
Professor Bode had thought that after watching Dark Demon’s duel, he would leave.
After all, the Golden Cup was merely a student duel.
To the Chief Archbishop of the Church of the Saints, it was nothing more than child’s play.
But Caleb Norris did not leave. Professor Bode tried to guide him into saying the reason.
Archbishop Caleb Norris said straightforwardly, “I just want to see how far the child born to Roland Patricius and Hefestus Dragone has come.”
Professor Bode remained silent.
Pandora’s brows gradually relaxed.
She gradually forgot her dislike for coldness; the intense duel brought her joy instead.
Unconsciously, a similarly icy smile appeared on her face. In this world, everyone was composed of countless elements. A single word was not enough to describe anyone. Dark had long discovered that beneath Pandora Senior’s hard exterior lay a gentle heart.
But within that gentle heart, there was something else hidden. That thing faintly exuded a chill!
A child who walked out of the Exile Forest had never known innocence and simplicity.
But all these contradictions or non-contradictions were merely elements that constituted a person.
Pandora’s fighting spirit was boiling!
The duel continued.
Countless ice flowers bloomed in the field, transforming the terrain with icebergs falling from the sky. But the dragons soaring in the freezing air still roared like thunder. One dragon, two dragons, three dragons…
The narrow field could no longer accommodate the massive bodies of the dragons. The entire sky became the stage for the duel.
Multiple dragons poured out their anger, overwhelming the field with their presence.
Amidst the dragons, an ice maiden with a crystal halo softly sang a tune that seemed out of place on this battlefield, yet in her gentle singing, a cruel magic emerged that could freeze living things for eternity.
The great dragon was frozen, turning into a massive ice sculpture.
The meteor shower of dragons descending from high above shattered it indiscriminately.
Stronger dragons surged towards the sky, their deafening roars instilling terror.
The ice phoenix riding the snowstorm stirred up a blizzard of crystallized ice.
Both sides summoned golems incessantly as if there were no limit to their hand cards.
Throughout the duel, low-star golems were rarely seen, and there was little action against the mana guidance balls.
The mana guidance balls of both sides floated over the red and blue summoning zones from start to finish, never moving until one of them shattered instantly under an attack exceeding eight thousand points of attack power!
“Whoosh—”
The referee’s whistle was sharp, startling the audience both inside and outside the arena.
Even after the match ended, the spectators’ retinas still retained the spectacle of the dragons flying and the phoenixes dancing.
The duel between top duelists was that shocking. “The winner is Pandora Dragon!”
“Huff—”
Dark took a deep breath.
Even though he had not wavered about Pandora Senior’s victory from the beginning to the end of the duel, he still felt relieved when the final result came out.
It wasn’t just because of the outcome; it was also because the pressure and palpitations during the duel finally dissipated. “Is this the gap?”
He subconsciously clenched his fist.
The slightest bit of侥幸from his victory over Luke Beck had completely vanished.
Without resorting to tricks, he could not feel any chance of winning.
But.
It was not unattainable!
Feeling the gap meant that both parties were not on the same plane.
The experiences and efforts during this period were transforming into bountiful fruits. The wisdom bestowed by Eralganie and his comprehensive mastery of the Fourth-Year Mana Language expanded his understanding at the foundational level.
He knew that the gap between him and Pandora Senior was narrowing. Chasing, touching, surpassing!
Someone was chasing him, and he was chasing someone else. Everything depended on speed.
Dark patted his cheek, adjusted his expression, and waited for Pandora Senior’s victor interview and her triumphant return.
However, Vini Scarlet returned earlier.
Then he stood alongside the loser, watching the interview segment together.
Vini Scarlet’s face showed no signs of defeat, but there was a hint of fatigue.
It was not psychological; she had simply expended too much energy in the few minutes of the duel, leaving her slightly exhausted.
Dark couldn’t find comforting words, so he simply didn’t speak. Vini Scarlet clearly had no desire to talk either.
They stood there awkwardly watching Pandora’s victor interview, while Pandora spoke very calmly about praising Vini Scarlet — from the perspective of a senior student.
Dark could only sigh inwardly, “Senior is still as sharp-tongued. Unlike me, I would never do that.”
After the interview ended, Pandora Dragon finally returned. Vini Scarlet finally spoke, “This round goes to you.”
As if she had been waiting specifically to say that. Pandora smiled, “Hope you can achieve a breakthrough.” They parted ways.
Then Dark and Pandora Senior left the dueling arena together.
Neither of them had any interest in watching the next matches.
Dark did not stay with his senior for long. After parting ways at the fork, he directly returned to the dormitory and quickly immersed himself in further research on the “Bliss Fog Field.”
The results of the subsequent matches surprised him.
[Good morning, don’t forget to cast your votes at the end of the month!]
[Shouldn’t the answers to the event questions be correct?]
