Chapter 107: Rowan’s Fall

The Spirit Rock Blade in Rowan’s hand suddenly revolted again.

A countless number of rock spikes grew out of the blade before smashing toward Fike, who hurriedly raised his sword to deflect them.

Took advantage of this gap, Rowan quickly got up to his feet as chunks of rocks fell from the sky like meteors.

The Sword Qi generated by Fike’s swings as he slashed at the pieces traveled throughout the entire arena, forming numerous small square areas that they slashed incessantly within.

As the Sword Qi moved wildly, even Fike himself was affected, and a cut appeared on his arm from an invisible stray slash.

At this moment, Rowan had suddenly flown up into the air.

The Spirit Rock Blade began to wrap around Rowan, its layer of stone warping and beginning to engulf his entire body.

Rowan let out a wave of painful cries.

“Arghh!

“F-Fike… I am now… about to enter the final state… Against this version of me… can you still defend?”

Rowan and the Spirit Rock Blade had completely fused into one being, a monster covered in rocks.

Fike quickly realized that this wouldn’t be optimal.

His sword could slice through the scattered rocks individually with ease, but with so many rocks covering Rowan’s entire body, it would be difficult for him to break through.

Regardless, gathering all his strength, Fike charged directly at Rowan’s side again.

This time, the Hermes’ Curse was completely unable to pierce through the rock armor. It didn’t even leave a scratch.

“Fike! This is my final form! We’ll see how you deal with this!”

Rowan was currently charging toward Fike at a violent speed.

His weapon had already been fused with himself.

Yet although he didn’t have a sword in his hand, it could be said that Rowan had become the fiercest weapon present.

Rowan’s entire body erupted with Sword Qi, channeled from the countless Spirit Rock Blades that now protruded from his armor.

Fike raised his demonic sword again, and the Sword Qi exuding off it filled half of the arena as well.

As the two separate Sword Qis collided, the air flow in the arena was completely plundered.

The air pressure seemed to steadily rise, causing everyone in the arena to breathe abnormally fast at this time.

As the buzzing energies from the two contenders continued to remain in deadlock, suddenly, a blinding flash of light appeared in the sky.

From afar, it looked like the sky had been torn open.

The clash broke, and Fike flew to the other side of the arena before hitting the ground heavily.

Rowan, on the other hand, remained standing in the center, seemingly unaffected.

Everyone watching from the stands now grew concerned over Fike’s condition.

Among them, Sertia, Senior Molly, and Lan Xi all wore terrified expressions on their faces as well.

“Fike! Are you okay?!”

Sertia cried out.

Lan Xi’s tears rolled down her cheeks.

Fike spat out blood, but he knew that his injury was nothing compared to what he had endured previously.

“Things are starting to get interesting!”

Fike said calmly.

Rowan looked at his opponent with excitement.

He smiled as he responded.

“Fike! If you don’t have any other moves, I advise you to just surrender!

“Your strongest move must’ve only been that strange light!

“Yet that weak ray of yours has been completely unable to penetrate my Spirit Rock Blade!”

Fike smiled in response as well.

“Rowan! Don’t get so happy too early!

“Who told you that I don’t have any other moves?”

Fike raised a hand as he continued to stare at Rowan calmly.

The professors watching from the rostrum of the Spell School were all hoping as well that Fike really did have another move planned as he implied.

However, Professor Maggie especially was praying in her heart only that Fike would come back safely, regardless of the outcome.

By now, the outcome of the battle had become completely unimportant.

The two youths duking it out had already demonstrated beyond formidable strength, completely incomparable to any of the other freshmen of Yogmo Academy.

“I’d say your current strength would be enough to kill an Exotic Beast close to King-tier!”

Fike called out through bated breath.

“But facing an Extoic Beast of Demon Prince-tier…

“I don’t think you’d have any hope of winning!”

Rowan looked at Fike in confusion as he heard his enigmatic words.

Abruptly, the sky above the arena turned dark.

As everyone looked up, they saw that a blood-red full moon had risen out of nowhere, and was now falling toward the arena.

It radiated an extremely low temperature, causing even snowflakes to appear, floating down gently in the sky.

Rowan looked at this otherworldly scene before turning to look at Fike again.

Finally, he spoke.

“So, Fike, you still had a hidden move? Hahahaha!

“Good! Now let me experience the power of your final blow!”

As he said this, Rowan took the initiative to rush toward the falling blood moon.

The blood-red meteor approached terminal velocity as it rapidly descended faster and faster.

Any living beings that had been in the sky were frozen solid in a flash and fell heavily to the ground, causing a rain of frozen ice blocks and ice shards.

Rowan had thought that his strength would be enough to withstand the impact of the blood-red full moon.

However, what he hadn’t accounted for was that even as he remained poised to catch the moon, still a long distance away from it, he could clearly feel a sudden, bone-piercing chill coming straight toward him.

The subzero frost left him completely defenseless.

His outstretched arm was immediately frozen and turned into solid ice.

Rowan had no way out.

Sensing that something was wrong, he was about to retreat when…

Turning his head around, he saw that Fike was already rushing toward him with his sword raised.

“This slash! You won’t be able to dodge this slash!”

Fike released a battlecry as he roared.

Rowan had no choice but to choose the latter between the two attacks.

With one of his arms completely frozen, Rowan had no way of defending himself.

Upon coming into contact with the demonic sword, the rock covering on his other arm was unexpectedly pierced through, as the Hermes’ Curse managed to even penetrate into Rowan’s palm.

Rowan was completely unable to deal with these sudden unexpected variables.

His entire body seemed to have lost its center of gravity as he fell onto the ground of the arena.

By now, the blood moon had already descended upon the arena.

As soon as the chilling blood-red moon made contact with the ground of the arena…

A bone-piercing chill was forced out in all directions, filling the entire arena with frost and creeping down everyone’s spines.

Boom!

A huge explosion resounded throughout the entire atmosphere.

When the explosion had cleared up, the entire arena was covered in a heavy snowfall that lasted for a long time, and the ground of the battlefield was covered in an extremely thick layer of pure ice.

Looking down at the motionless Rowan covered in a layer of frost,.

Fike once again brandished his demonic sword as he stepped forward.

“Hey!

“Now you know my full strength!”
