In the end, Leah followed the others while learning about Azzy's recent battle on the way.
By the time Leah arrived at the stadium, the battle is already started. Meanwhile, the stadium was filled with students, regardless of what academy they belong to.
She saw a guy with more soul power than her, presumably, rank-6, is on the defensive while there's a blurry figure with mere low-rank-5 soul power, constantly attacking him from different sides.
Neither of them is using soul power nor the Arcana spirits. It appeared to be a physical brawl.
Along with those two, two strong people are standing on the field while everyone else is seated in the audience section.
She assumed they were of rank-7 after comparing the feeling she was getting from the two of them to her Royal knights.
However, right then, the deep old-aged voice resounded in her head. "Hahaha… how long has it been… a hundred thousand years... You look exactly the same, old friend…" Excalibur seemed to be in excitement.
"What is going on, old man? You seem too happy." She wondered whether this old man had truly gone senile.
Excalibur answered, "We found your destined knight, Leah. The one in a black t-shirt and blue pants."
"Who?" Leah looked around.
"Not around you. Look at the person who was fighting. The one in offense…"
Leah turned her head to the front. "That blurry figure?"
Meanwhile, Azzy was at his peak speed as he continued to throw punches and kicks at Vann, who seems to be facing trouble due to his slow reaction.
However, at the same time, he still managed to block four out of every five attacks aimed at his body.
The battle goes on one-sided for a whole ten minutes before Vann released a soul energy shield over his hand which made Azzy retreat a few steps.
Looking at Vann whose soul energy is removing the bruises from the surface of his skin, Azzy opened his mouth, "I guess your warming up time is over?"
Before the battle started, Vann suggested they should at least warm-up before getting into actual battle, instead of going all out from the start.
Since his opponent is intending to use neither soul power nor the Arcana spirit, Azzy followed the suit.
Now that Vann used soul energy shield, Azzy wanted to know whether the warm is finally over or his opponent is just trying to defend himself. Azzy wanted to finish this battle as soon as possible. So, he hoped Vann would say that warm-up is over.
And just like he hoped, Vann nodded in response and commented, "In terms of pure speed, you might be a match for even a peak-rank-6. I heard that one of your Arcana spirits is a top tier platinum-grade beast with lightning attribute. That might explain your abnormal speed."
Azzy kept silent. How could he say that Vann is being misunderstood?
He gained this speed, not because of his lightning attribute Arcana, but because he trained his body to the limits at a place where gravity is essentially 44 times that of the original.
So, under normal circumstances, Azzy or anyone that trained in the Violet Pavilion will have abnormal speeds. The speed of the higher rank experts from the Violet Pavilion will even look like teleportation…
Meanwhile, Leah finally saw Azzy's appearance as he was just standing still without an ounce of expression on his face while being praised by his opponent.
"So, my destined knight is this Necromancer Prince?" After getting a clear look at Azzy's face, Leah thought he was too young. She felt like the girls weren't exaggerating regarding his potential and well, his appearance to some extent.
Even though she also possessed a celestial grade spirit, Leah wasn't able to recognize the grade of the wolf. After all, it's very tough for a human to distinguish the grade of a platinum grade beast and a celestial grade beast.
Only fellow celestial grade spirits like Excalibur or rank-10 demi-gods can distinguish the difference.
Leah assumed the wolf was a platinum grade beast as she knew that celestial grade spirits usually only exist one per attribute and evidently pure in nature. Not to mention, she knew that the black lightning ball of Aelius Crescent is the one that represents the lightning attribute.
"Just look at the coincidence, Leah. This boy not only shares an identical appearance with the Arcana Empire's strongest general but also his name. Even his stoic expression is the same." Meanwhile, the spirit of Excalibur seems to be in high spirits as it was watching Azzy through Leah's eyes.
"It doesn't explain how a person with twin Arcana spirits like him ended up at a place like this." Leah voiced her suspicion. "It can't be possible unless he doesn't have any relations to the Death clan. In that case, wouldn't be useless?"
Even if Azzy is really the one that she was looking for, unless he's from the Garcia family of the Death Clan, she can't revive the ancient Empire of Arcana. So, he must be the descendant of Azrael Garcia at all costs.
Excalibur appeared to be chill regarding her doubt. She can almost imagine the old man shrugging his shoulders as if he has the form of a human. "Well, it's been a hundred thousand years. That's more than a thousand generations.
It might be possible that somewhere in the line, this boy's ancestors left the clan. Or it might even be possible that the clan might have been destroyed as time passed by. Who knows…"
"Fine then, I'll trust you, old man. But, before that, let me see how much potential this destined knight of mine has." Leah no longer conversed with her sword spirit and put her attention on the battle.
As the Hydra hasn't been revived yet, Azzy summoned the black lightning wolf in the Arena. At the same time, Vann summoned his gold dragon.
With the presence of two platinum grade beasts in the arena, along with the teachers and instructors, even the Principal and other hidden experts arrived at the location to watch the battle.
Looking at how his wife was acting as the proctor, Principal Barton's face doesn't look good. Although he was happy on the inside that Azzy rejected all the invitation, he was still worried about the greediness of the dark/hidden organizations.
He felt like he should arrange protection for Azzy from now onwards to protect him from possible abduction.
Meanwhile, in the Arena, the battle was going on between Vajra and the gold dragon while their respective masters were staying still, although for different reasons.
Vann didn't make a move as he was waiting for Azzy while the latter was staying still because Vajra requested him that it will battle the dragon alone.
As a result, Vann and Azzy became spectators like everyone else.
*Roar*
Letting out a mighty roar, the gold dragon then, breathes out a sea of flames, covering a wide area.
Azzy retreated a few more steps back to stay away from the flames while Vajra dodged to the side and continued to run with sparks dancing all over its body.
As the Gold dragon continued to breathe out fire, nonstop, aiming at Vajra, the latter was barely able to keep up with its speed, dodging the flames while circling around the dragon.
Vajra being very tiny compared to the dragon, helped out in this situation. With the gold dragon kept on breathing out flames, the latter continued to run around it as fast as it can to create a mirage of clones to confuse its opponent.
Moving the head left and right, again and again, made the gold dragon go dizzy. Looking at its situation, Vann's face turned serious. Despite a whole rank difference, Vann wasn't able to see the chances of a solid win.
"Delphina, fly." He gave an order to his Arcana so it gets easier for it to tackle the black wolf's tricks.
Understanding what its host is trying to tell, the gold dragon stopped breathing out the flames and then, flapped its wings to fly higher.
As the black lightning wolf stopped running in circles and raised its head, Prince Vann gave an order. <strong>"Delphina, use Soul skill: Flames of Sun"</strong>
*Roar*
Letting out a mighty roar, the dragon raised its head and opened its mouth. Soon, a tiny fireball formed. However, as a few seconds passed, the tiny ball of fire became gigantic. It's as if a mini sun has been formed in the sky.
Right then, Azzy gave an order. <strong>"Vajra, unleash the soul skill: lightning prison" </strong>
