Inside the palace, Lucas clenched his fists, feeling the imnse power coursing through his body.
His gaze shifted to John, his lips curling into an exaggerated grin.
Licking his sharp teeth, Lucas sneered, "Your strength indeed took by surprise, forcing to activate the blood crystal secret technique. I admit I underestimated you, but sadly, you no longer have a chance to leave here alive!"
Spreading his arms wide, Lucas laughed maniacally, "Now, the real ga begins!"
As his words faded, the blood light around his sword intensified.
In an instant, Lucas vanished from his spot, reappearing beside John, his blood sword slicing through the air towards him with ferocious speed.
"Bloodshadow Slash!"
Lucas's speed was astounding; many in the audience could only catch a fleeting glimpse of a blood light before he reached John.
John's eyes remained calm, his body suddenly radiating a ghostly blue light and becoming ethereal.
With a light step, John drifted away like a falling leaf, gracefully dodging Lucas's strike.
"Wraith!"
This was the skill provided by John's ghostly cloak, allowing the wearer to ghost through physical forms.
John rarely used it, saving it for crucial monts to catch his opponents off guard.
"Boom!"
Lucas's blood sword struck down with a burst of blood-colored light!
The palace floor was cleaved by his sword, leaving a deep, bottomless crevice that testified to the terror of Lucas's strike.
Seeing John evade his attack, Lucas raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised that John still had tricks up his sleeve.
However, he didn't care much, sneering at John, "Commoner, let's see what other surprises you can show !"
John's gaze was icy as he replied tersely, "You'll find out soon enough!"
As his words fell, a quick interplay of green and earthy hues lit up his staff.
The surrounding wood and earth elents rapidly fused in his hands, giving rise to a power unseen before by the onlookers.
Everyone outside widened their eyes in astonishnt.
Baron exclaid in surprise, "This kid is actually attempting to use skill fusion technique here?!"
Theodore frowned, "He's being too reckless!"
Fusing skills wasn't sothing that could be done on a whim.
Apart from the demanding talent requirents, an awakener needed to be fully concentrated and handle the skills with utmost care during the fusion process.
Otherwise, even a slight mishap could lead to elental conflict and result in an explosion.
In that case, John could end up being killed by his own skill, even without Lucas lifting a finger.
Alexander laughed heartily, "Haha, I admire this kind of daring spirit. When pushed into a corner, why not give it a shot?"
Eldritch shook his head gravely, "This young man's talent is far more terrifying than you all imagine. Haven't you noticed? The two elents in his hands are completely stable, all controlled by his mind power. This kid's mind power is at least several tis stronger than an ordinary magus!"
Prompted by Eldritch's observation, the others began to notice the difference.
Indeed, it was just as Eldritch had said.
Although the two elents in John's hands were repelling each other, they were both suppressed by John's formidable mind power and control.
The elents were incredibly stable and fused at an astonishing speed.
Eldritch sighed, "This guy's talent is indeed terrifying. Given a conducive environnt, his chances of successfully fusing skills are quite high. But he's being overly confident by attempting this in the midst of battle."
The others nodded in agreent.
Fusing skills in front of Lucas was undeniably a suicidal act, especially during a life-and-death combat.
Lucas certainly wouldn't miss such an opportune mont.
"You really are courting death!"
Lucas sneered, the blood crystal on his forehead flickering.
His eyes filled with a dense blood-red hue, and with a slight clench of his hand, John suddenly felt as if the blood within him was boiling like magma.
It was as if he were a volcano on the verge of eruption, with his blood threatening to burst forth at any mont.
"Blood Control!"
This was a signature ability of the Crimson Count, capable of manipulating an opponent's blood to instantly kill them.
Most of John's focus was on the skill fusion technique, leaving him little ntal capacity to suppress the turmoil within his blood.
His complexion turned beet red in an instant, as if he might explode at any mont.
The excruciating pain throughout his body made John frown.
The Crimson Count's skill was more troubleso than he had anticipated.
However, having previously encountered Lucas's ability, he was prepared.
Just as he was about to slow down the skill fusion process to allocate so of his focus to suppressing the manipulated blood within him, two beams of holy light radiated a divine glow, suddenly rising around John.
"Holy Purification!" "Sacred Word Blessing!"
John felt the turmoil within his blood swiftly subside.
His already exceptional mind power surged even further at this mont!
Both Lucas and John turned their gaze towards where Seraphina was.
Her eyes and hair had sohow turned a complete platinum color, radiating an aura of divine sanctity.
Clad in her white dress, she appeared even more holy and beautiful.
The outside world witnessed this scene as well.
Apart from Theodore, everyone else showed a look of astonishnt.
Alexander, surprised, said, "I didn't expect Lord Theodore's daughter to also possess a second class, and if I'm not mistaken, that seems to be House Harris's inheritance class, 'Holy Light Magus,' right?"
Eldritch nodded with a smile, "Indeed, it's House Harris's Holy Light Magus. This inheritance class is extrely rare and difficult to awaken. It's unexpected that Seraphina has managed to awaken it. Lord Theodore has kept this very well-hidden!"
Theodore remained smiling, offering no comnt.
Hearing the conversation among the powerhouses, the crowd buzzed with astonishnt.
It was unexpected that Seraphina not only had a second class but had also awakened House Harris's Holy Light Magus!
In the major families of the capital, all inheritance classes had their drawbacks or aftereffects to so extent.
For example, House Carter's Crimson Count gradually turned the user into a monster, while House Fairfax's Radiant Visage led to the decline of the family's future generations' vitality.
The drawback of House Harris's Holy Light Magus lies in its extre difficulty to awaken. Often, not even one Holy Light Magus would erge among a generation of House Harris's descendants.
In recent tis, there have been two generations without a single Holy Light Magus awakening in House Harris.
However, should anyone from House Harris successfully awaken and grow into this class, they are destined to beco one of the top powerhouses in the Federation.
They would be highly valued by House Harris and might even be designated as the sole heir to House Harris in the next generation.
Now, people finally understood why the elder of House Harris was so fond of his granddaughter Seraphina.
Perhaps he had recognized Seraphina's talent early on and had consciously nurtured her from a young age.
Within the trial, John nodded towards Seraphina, saying, "Thanks."
He only knew that Seraphina possessed a powerful class related to holy light, unaware of what her Holy Light Magus class signified.
But even if he did know, John wouldn't care much.
After all, no talent could surpass his All-Class Magus and Divine Favor To...
Seraphina shook her head, not saying much.
She simply stood behind John, ready to use her skills to heal and boost him at any mont.
John glanced at her, not bothering to insist that Seraphina leave.
Instead, he focused all his attention on fusing his skills.
With the amplification from Seraphina's Sacred Blessing, his mind power was enhanced, and the speed of the green and blue lights in his hands noticeably increased.
This ti, John was fusing the Vine Thorn and Ground Spike skills.
Not only because these skills were relatively easier to fuse, but also because they could potentially counteract Lucas's regenerative abilities.
However, the actual effect remained to be seen in action.
Observing the seemingly well-coordinated duo, Lucas's face turned sour, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.
He had known from the mont he t Seraphina that she might possess the Holy Light Magus, House Harris's inheritance class, so he wasn't surprised by that revelation.
What truly enraged Lucas was the fact that Seraphina would deign to assist such a lowly vermin!
In Lucas's mind, Seraphina was his forbidden fruit; even if he couldn't have her, he wouldn't allow anyone else to defile her!
"You both deserve to die!" Lucas roared, his body emitting a surge of blood that quickly ford a vast sea of blood above his head.
An intense stench of blood instantly filled the area.
Lucas's eyes were bloodshot, his sanity slipping away.
He pointed his blood sword at John, and arrows made of blood rapidly ford within the sea of blood.
In just the blink of an eye, a dense array of blood arrows appeared, their re presence enough to make one's skin crawl.
"Bloodsea Arrow Rain!"
