Chương 56: Vergil

Kai felt a chill run down his spine as he instinctively leaped forward.

Spinning around, he realized his back had collided with something cold—a wall of ice.

He hadn't even noticed when the wall had formed, nor had he sensed any mana fluctuation from Azriel.

Kai's face grew grim as he quickly turned to face Azriel again, but before he could react—

Cra...Crackle—!

"Gah!"

Without warning, Azriel's fist slammed into Kai's solar plexus, sending him flying back into the ice wall, which shattered upon impact.

Crack—!

Kai stumbled towards the edge of the arena, crashing into the wall as students above looked on in shock.

Bam—!

Most of the spectators were first-year students, either barely awakened or still dormant.

All they saw was a streak of red lightning where Azriel had stood, followed by Kai crumpling to the ground, gasping for breath, his body wracked with violent coughs.
