Cultivators at the Wizarding Academy

Chapter 181 Tears of Dawn, Living Up to Expectations

Dorothy stared at the burly figure roaring as it charged forward, her mithril wand glowing with the light of a debuff spell.

The two hellhounds have sustained significant injuries in previous battles. They should not be sent into combat unless absolutely necessary.

Dorothy summoned the Crypt Demon.

The moment a giant spider, as large as a bull and weighing tons, appeared from the contract summoning inscription array.

The big rock had already approached Dorothy, wielding its hammer.

The hammer slammed heavily against the Dawn's Tear shield, producing a dull thud. Compared to the diamond-shaped shield, which could be shattered with a single blow, the teardrop-shaped shield before them was many times more sturdy.

The giant rock relentlessly attacked, its hammer swung in various trajectories, converging at one point. As if forging iron, dozens of blows fell in the blink of an eye, yet it didn't budge an inch, its face contorted with the ferocity of a wild beast.

Dorothy remained indifferent, confirming the defenses were secure, and began to restrict and weaken her opponent. She unleashed every debuff spell she knew, commanding the Crypt Fiend to spit silk to bind the large rock.

The situation in the battle is gradually becoming clearer.

The massive rock, unable to breach the Dawn's Tear shield, offered no chance of victory. Like an insect caught in a spider's web, it had no choice but to struggle.

Dorothy, who possesses the ability to defeat the top student in the Cavaliers' division, was already a favorite to win the championship, and her victory was expected.

The spellcasters watching the match were more interested in the uniquely designed mental shield that had shone brightly in the ranked battles. Although it could only block attacks from one direction, its absolute defensive power was undoubtedly admirable.

"Who is this genius who developed this new technique?" Selena, the head of the Mage Division, asked the people around her.

"The Dawn's Tear Shield was invented by Tyrion, a student from our Wizarding Division," Kinsley said with a reserved smile.

"Incredibly impressive, a groundbreaking technique with immense practical value." Selena used "incredibly" twice to show her approval: "When does he plan to popularize and promote it?"

"I originally thought that Tai'an's skills would be a family secret, but now it seems that they have begun to spread! Perhaps, at most, they will be widely available in a few years," Jin Sili said optimistically.

For an immortal sun elf, a few years is equivalent to a few months for an ordinary human, and she has plenty of patience.

"Tell him! Reveal the technology before we set out. I can grant him a fine secret treasure. He can choose one himself from the Mage Division's heritage warehouse."

"I'll go ask."

The damage cap of Dawn's Tears has always been a mystery. Against opponents of the same level, it has never disappointed, acting as the most solid shield to block any attack.

Dorothy gracefully returned to the Wizarding House audience. Having successfully advanced to the top 32, meeting her expectations, she couldn't help but feel proud.

"Xiaoqian, do you want to win the championship?"

"You should give it a try! I think there's a chance..."

In Division Four, Guts from the Warriors Division faces Richard from the Knights Division. Both are second-ranked in their respective divisions, and with the top students all defeated, they are undoubtedly the most deserving representatives.

Guts wielded two swords, his burning battle aura soaring into the sky. Grains of stone and sand floated around him.

His strength has improved quite a bit recently, but not as dramatically as Aglaia's.

It's destined to be a clash of titans.

Richard spurred his dragon-scaled warhorse into a charge, his inscribed spear burning with crimson and black flames.

"Kill them!"

The earth trembled with the sound of hooves. The Dragonscale Warhorse was no ordinary warhorse; it was more like a muscular monster, with a size of about 1.5 to 2 tons.

Gus simultaneously swung his inscribed sword, unleashing the seventh move of the Bamboo Wind School: the Clashing Slash. A surge of immense battle energy tore through the earth beneath his feet, colliding head-on with the charging enemy.

The dragon-scaled warhorse stopped moving, its four hooves rearing up.

Guts' battle aura was far stronger than Richard had expected, almost equivalent to encountering a perfect combined attack from six or seven magic swordsmen.

Losing speed, the knight was put on the defensive, helplessly parrying his opponent's frenzied attacks.

Gus, riding high on his momentum, defeated Richard in one fell swoop, and the enthusiastic cheers soared into the sky.

"Gus! Gus!"

He was undoubtedly the top choice for the Warrior Division.

However, another view is that Guss may use the rights he gained from winning the competition to apply for a transfer to another hospital.

The Knights and Spellswords schools have a much higher starting point for their future than the Warriors school.

Aglaia is also a highly anticipated star player, facing off against Pusha, a third-year student from the Wizarding Division.

A beautiful girl with gray hair and a slender figure, but unusually voluptuous in the front, with a face value of over 90. Her eyes are calm and cold, and her face shows little emotion.

Aglaia dared not underestimate her opponent. All the branches of the Wizarding Academy recognized that its spellcasters were the most troublesome and were most restricted by the arena rules.

At the start of the battle, the usual close-quarters combat tactics were employed; there was no other choice.

Pusa unleashed black lightning to attack, using shapeshifting to transform into the form of a black snake.

Aglaia's divine attribute is no secret, meaning that negative spells cannot weaken her in the slightest; they will only be futile.

The black-haired swordswoman's agile movements were comparable to those of an agile combatant, or perhaps she simply preferred to follow this path.

However, there is no way to dodge Black Lightning.

They can only rely on their protective battle aura and holy light protection runes to withstand the attack, but it's impossible for them to last long.

The two were competing to see who could defeat the other first.

The same applies to inscriptions that grant divine protection. Mixed-elemental defense is greater than that of a single-elemental defense.

A contract summoning inscription array appeared beneath Pusa's feet.

A tall, handsome young man dressed in a black tuxedo, with an eerie and otherworldly air. His skin was deathly pale, his fingers were sharp, and dark red filled the whites of his eyes.

High-ranking undead, vampires!

"I hate this sunlight."

The vampire youth sighed softly, and in a flash, he stood in front of Pusa.

Aglaia swept through the enemy lines, destroying the diamond-shaped, dark blue shield one after another.

The physical elements, formed from ice and negative energy, are not only physically solid but also possess a backlash effect, effectively reducing the enemy's attack speed and mobility. Even if the negative effect is cleansed, the backlash will return with each subsequent attack.

In other words, the Divine attribute is not affected by negative status effects.

Aglaia sensed the figure attacking from behind. In the nick of time, she dodged.

My opponent is physically stronger than me. However, it's still within my capabilities.

On the field, Aglaia was fighting two opponents at once, but she maintained a fierce offensive.

Pusa was forced to retreat and tried to create distance.

The vampire youth relentlessly attacked, yet he couldn't touch Aglaia even an inch. Despite possessing greater explosive power and speed, he always missed by the slightest margin.

"What astonishing combat talent!" Instructor Lon exclaimed in admiration.

Divine invocation is not just about the application of techniques, but also about the development of bloodline and combat instincts.
