章 101: Entrance Exam IV - The Masked White Knight II
Releasing the two flame sniper shots, the two I aimed at tried to block the attack, just to drill a hole through their swords like a bullet through paper. To the horror of everyone there, the moment the bullet went inside the man, his head erupted into pale blue flames, before traveling down to their lungs and into their muscles, just to have them combust into flames that eventually turned them to ashes.
"Don't block! If you get hit, I'll just extinguish the flames" A man in the wizard rank shouted to his comrades. From what I could tell by analyzing her clothing, he was a mage not used to close-range attacks. While I remember my grandma saying that the last Wizard we fought together was a wizard ranked mage, but I truly doubted that and being able to use a duke level spell was evidence of that. Duke-level spells can usually only be cast by those in the Grand Wizard to Imperial Wizard ranks. I am assuming he was in the Grand Wizard rank if not the very top of the Wizard rank, and this is because he was only able to use a duke tier spell after using the enhancement supreme tier spell "Lightning if Absolution".

'Most of these guys are in the supreme ranks, some even reach peak supreme and are about to breakthrough. What a pity'
Immediately, once I was within a 45-meter radius of the closest man, I activated my 'Lightning Hermes' boots'. Hermes boots were an upgrade of the 'Windy Steps' spell, while lightning boots came the moment I comprehended the lightning element when I was fighting against that lightning Wizard. Well, analysis comprehended everything, I just stole its glory.
Once I reached a 30-meter radius, I lowered my center of gravity and made my upper body parallel to the ground. The next instant, with a bright flash and a loud thunderous boom, I was already behind the man who was 30 meters away from me. As lightning crackled on my Light Bridge that was now in the form of a Swiss saber, the head of the man behind me started to levitate as if everything was moving in slow motion.
Before any of them could react to the sudden death of their teammate, I was already in front of another, stabbing him right through the chest as lighting fried his insides and charred him into a black ashy carcass. Right after killing the second person in less than a second, I twisted my body and put all my weight on my right heel, before switching to my toes and blasting forwards with a flash, as if I was a lightning bolt.
However, this time the Wizard was ready for me, because the moment I reached the third man, a Gale wind spell shot in my direction.
"I have no Idea how you just used a speed enhancing spell without any hand seals or chants, but I'll assure you, you won't surv-"
"You talk too much" A whisper to his right cut him off, before a sharp object stabbed into his heart, killing him instantly. After a few flashes and merely 15 seconds, all 11 were dead and I was already dashing towards my next opponents of 8 people.
"CRAP! IT'S HERE! JUST SHOO-"
*thud*
Before the man who was observing could finish his sentence, he found himself lying on the cold ground, lifeless in his own body. However, his consciousness found itself dissipating the moment a foot touched him, as it slightly quivered in what seemed like pleasure. His soul was instantly drained, and his eyes were not grey, with nothing left inside them but emptiness.

"S-So! You must be the guy who tried-" However just like everyone else, his blood seemed to have been drained from his face, while his sentence was immediately cut off.
"A w-w-white knight!" a woman on the floor shrieked.
My once normal-looking sword was not coated in a white ethereal substance. However, one could see tinges of yellowish gold that radiated off the sword at an almost invisible rate. Yet, no matter how small the amount was, divine mana will always be, divine mana. A power that suppressed all that mortal. The power that sends shivers down one's spines from a simple glance at it.

'I've been abusing this weapon too much.' I thought while slashing my weapon to the side to get the blood off of it.
Sighing, within three seconds, I had killed every single person in my line of sight.
'I guess I have to get rid of that one now huh' I thought while looking at the man in the distance, radiating with an aura of a peak Grand Knight rank Warrior.
Seeing there was no time to waste, I ran toward him with all the speed I could muster while releasing my blood lust and losing the hood off my head due to the wind.
"I see you have finally come?" The man opened his arms wide as if to welcome me.
Stopping 60 meters away from him, we simply looked into the eyes of our respective opponents. As he looked into mine, he couldn't help but feel like prostrating, and the feeling grew more and more as we continued to lock eyes.
The man was also masked with a white mask with blue vines seemingly growing from the sides and trying to infest the center of the mask. He had ocean blue eyes with jet black hair gelled back. His blue-colored robe had mixtures of black within it, that being the lining of the robe, and all the pockets that were stitched on.
He was at least 6ft 3 inches tall, with a muscular physique that towered above everyone and everything he stood in front of, no matter if they are a Dwarve or a Giant. Yet in front of the 4ft 11 girl in front of him, he felt as if the angel of death descended himself to tower over the 6ft 2 man
"This must be another illusion of your, huh... Damnit! This is why I hate your Light magic users! ALL, AND I MEAN ALL OF YOU ARE SO GOD DAMN UNPREDICTABLE" The man shouted
"Are you a child or something?" I asked before continuing "Stop throwing a tantrum" with a commanding tone
"ooo. I'm so scared" the man exaggerated
On the other side of the fight was me. I had my hood down, allowing my hair to flow down beyond my shoulders.
"You shouldn't have come here you know. If you didn't threaten the safety of my family, I wouldn't have had to kill you" I muttered, but the wind carried my voice making it sound deeper and omnipresent.
Taking a step forwards, I grabbed the hair going down my back and shoulders before summoning a hairband from my ring and tying it back into a ponytail, leaving nothing but my bangs to shake around in front of my forehead. On the sides of my bangs were two long hairs, reaching beyond my bangs, down to my chin.
At every step, the wind answered, flapping ankle-long trench coat behind me. Activating my rings, They slowly wrapped around my hands and morphed into black leather gloves, a bit like those I was wearing when I had killed my sister and parents in my last life. My turtle neck jumper was long enough to be a mask covering the bottom portion of my face with the black cotton, and even though I had a mask on, I could not compromise on the chance that my mask would be able to stay on my face for the whole battle.
Black boots with no heels to click were covered my ankles, while my black trousers were tucked into those same boots. However, the most eye-catching thing around me was the blood-red aura, radiating off me as if I was a fountain. This was bloodlust. A visual personification for one's thrust for blood, and it was coming out of me.
'To think a human is able to stay sane after using blood lust... She might have the anatomy of a human, but she is truly a monster... and a monster too dangerous to keep alive' The man thought while also stepping forward, allowing the wind to flap his robe behind him.
*BOOM*
Outwards exploded a blue aura. Yes, this was his battle aura, and from what I could guess, it was at the peak of a Grand Knight rank warrior, while the magic aura he was released showed that he was at least at the Supreme stages of the mage rankings. His whole persona did not change, nor did his pace, or muscle movements. The only thing that had changed was his mana circulation and soul energy circuit's movements.
We both walked towards each other at the same pace as the other, not slowing down nor speeding up, yet while I held by Swiss Saber in my hands, his aura was forming a weapon, purely out of energy rather than forging it.
"May the stronger warrior win" I chuckled with excitement as my heart pounded more heavily, and my bloodlust grew more dramatically in front of what I could only describe as, nothing more than a meal trying to fight back.
