Facing a powerhouse like Beatrice—the top genius of Lioncrest Academy—his only option was to strike first and seize the initiative in battle.
Whoosh!
Alan's sword slashed forward with incredible speed, but Beatrice only sneered. A cold, deathly aura of dark magic wrapped around her body, making her resemble a black-robed reaper.
When Alan's blade landed on her shadowy form, the [Blade Spirit] within vanished like a stone sinking into water—completely absorbed without even a ripple.
Alan's heart trembled slightly. No wonder she was considered one of Lioncrest Academy's twin prodigies.
She possessed a rare dark-element affinity!
According to legend, dark element was one of the most mysterious and unpredictable elemental types.
