Chapter 537: The End Of The First Round.

As Alec and Liam finally clashed, the crowd watched in anticipation, attempting to discern the outcome of their lightning-fast exchange, Liam, moving like a blur, brushed past Alec, leaving the spectators in awe and unsure of who had struck whom first.

Alec was the first to turn around, only for the crowd to discover a deep cut across his chest. However, to his surprise, no blood dripped from the wound.

It was covered by the same black ice as Pale’s variant ice power, making him feel increased weight but manageable, as the realization left Alec astonished, he had believed such powers to be exceedingly rare, and he hadn’t expected to encounter another mage with the same abilities as Pale.

Initially, Alec had been on high alert, expecting Liam to unleash a time spell, as he is rumoured to be a time Mage, even the crowd, who already believe that Liam had the upper hand, was shocked when Liam, too, turned towards Alec, and they saw a line of blood streaking down his own chest.
