Soil flew, grass was crushed, turning to dust and disappearing.
The trees in front were engulfed by the silver-white light, and everything turned to ashes.
The beast's body turned into foam, first the skull, then the lower half of the torso, and finally everything disappeared without a trace.
Roa stood at the entrance of the academy, watching the beasts scatter and turn to ashes, and sighed, "Well, this is only natural, isn't it?"
Ellis stared in shock at everything happening before her. Those ferocious beasts, which had been roaring just a moment ago, were now completely gone, not even a corpse left behind.
The power of this sword, I fear, could obliterate even a mountain in front of it, reducing it to dust.
"This, this…"
Ellis stammered, unable to articulate her thoughts.
Not just Ellis, even the remaining members of the Sylphid Knights were staring in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.
Debris flew everywhere; the once flat courtyard had long since vanished. The gate, as the academy's sign, was usually well-maintained.
Even if it couldn't compare to the facilities inside the academy, it was still orderly, with decorations like flowers and trees at the entrance, and the ground was paved with marble.
But now, let alone flowers and trees, even the marble on the ground was completely invisible.
Roa assessed the score of this sword strike. If King Arthur's curry stick could be rated an A+, then his own curry stick could only reach a B level.
The ability of the Demon Slayer Holy Sword was undoubtedly strong, but the specialization was different. Compared to the Sword of Oath Victory, the Demon Slayer Holy Sword clearly had more functions.
As the divine might dissipated, the silver-white color flowing along the sword faded, and the door connecting to the realm of elemental spirits began to close slowly. Roa heard Est's voice in his mind.
Est spoke in an ancient elvish language, but this language automatically translated into something Roa could understand.
Roa was momentarily stunned; the translated meaning was roughly: "Master is so strong."
Ellis stepped forward, her face filled with awe.
Ellis bowed to Roa and said, "Um, Roa, thank you."
Although Ellis was usually very proud and often said insincere things, when it came to someone helping her, she could always set aside her prejudices and face it with sincerity.
Roa did not refuse and naturally accepted her bow, then helped Ellis up.
Feeling the warmth from Roa's fingertips and recalling the earlier scene, Ellis couldn't help but blush a little.
"It's nothing; we're practically family. I can't just watch you get turned into mush, can I?"
Roa's teasing words made Ellis feel a bit embarrassed. Blushing, she replied, "I wouldn't get turned into mush! That level of attack would only put me out for a month at most."
Roa lightly tapped Ellis on the head, expressionless, and said, "So you do know."
With the task completed, the remaining matters were left to the members of the knight order to handle.
Basking in the admiration and reverence of the crowd, Roa felt quite satisfied.
He raised his gaze to a certain point, a smile creeping onto his lips.
The sunlight shone on this tranquil forest, the light filtering through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
Black feathers were scattered everywhere, and a girl with black wings appeared out of thin air.
The girl had striking features, her purple-black hair shimmering with a mesmerizing glow under the sunlight, and her dark wings added an extra layer of allure.
At that moment, sitting opposite the girl was a boy.
He had blood-red short hair and crimson eyes, sitting in an extremely arrogant posture. His body was covered in tattoos marked with blood-red stripes. Upon seeing the girl, he wore a smug expression and said, "Hey, Restia, are you really interested in that guy?"
The girl named Restia turned around, looking at the arrogant boy before her with a flash of disgust in her eyes.
Her brows furrowed slightly, and with an unhappy expression, she said, "Jio Inzagi, watch your words."
Inzagi scoffed and casually replied, "What? Want me to show you the power of being the 'Demon King's heir'?"
Restia's displeasure deepened, and she looked at Inzagi with a pitying expression, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she said, "You know where your power comes from. Don't fool yourself. Besides, the so-called Demon King's heir is just something you made up. You're not even close to him, let alone to Ren Ashbell."
Restia's words pierced Inzagi's heart like a sharp sword. His arrogant expression froze, and he glared at Restia with anger, shouting, "You little brat, do you want to die?"
Just as Inzagi's words fell, a figure appeared beside Restia without her noticing.
It was a girl with long brown hair, but her eyes were dim, and a dangerously intense aura occasionally surrounded her.
The moment Inzagi saw the girl, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed to Restia, "Are you crazy? How did you bring her out?"
Restia's previously smiling face turned cold. She looked up, expressionless, and said to Inzagi, "What do you mean?"
Sensing Restia's displeasure, the girl took a step forward, but that single step made the previously fearless Inzagi take a step back.
Inzagi swallowed hard and spat out, "Crazy woman!"
After cursing her, the three fell into silence again.
Restia was too lazy to explain anything further, Inzagi was simply embarrassed, and the girl was unable to speak at all.
At this moment, she was left with only a faint consciousness. If Ellis and Claire could see the girl's appearance, they would surely be shocked.
Because she was the winner of the Spirit Blade Dance Festival three years ago, also known as the strongest Blade Dancer.
Her name was Ren Ashbell.
The girl who had calmed the wrath of the Fire Elemental Lord with her incredibly beautiful Blade Dance now wore a blank expression.
If Roa were here, he would probably recognize her current state at a glance.
