After saving Greg's ass, Grey didn't waste a second. Like a streak of lightning, he bolted toward the boss beast, which had finally shrugged off his earlier lightning attack.
Bursting out of the cracked, rumbling earth with violent tremors, the monstrous creature twisted its grotesque form and locked its many eyes on Grey, who was rapidly approaching like a guided missile.
With a sudden whip of its massive tail, it launched a crescent slash of viridian venom toward him.
Grey pivoted on one foot with flawless precision, narrowly evading the acidic projectile. In retaliation, he fired a searing arrow of lightning that crackled through the air like a bolt from the heavens.
But the beast was relentless. It burrowed into the ground with astonishing speed, vanishing beneath the shifting terrain.
Monts later, it erupted from behind Grey, swinging its jagged pincers with lethal intent—but a solid wall of earth surged up, intercepting the blow and absorbing the crushing impact.
In an instant, the wall shattered into chunks, but spikes of stone erupted from the debris and lunged at the beast.
They slamd into its glistening exoskeleton with loud tallic clangs. It was like bullets bouncing off armor—loud, useless impacts that echoed across the battlefield.
The creature growled, furious, and slamd its body into the ground. The shockwaves sent vibrations rippling outward, throwing Grey slightly off-balance.
It seized the opportunity.
The beast dashed forward, pincers slicing the air toward the tumbling mage—but…
"Sike!" Grey grinned.
He levitated swiftly into the air using wind magic, gliding above the battlefield with grace.
From his new vantage point, sothing on the beast's body caught his eye.
At the core of its torso, a pulsating orb of mana radiated a deep, unnatural glow—alive with raw energy.
'That... is that its life force? Its power source?' Grey thought, but he didn't have the luxury of reflection.
The beast whipped its tail, unleashing several venomous slashes that tore through the air toward him.
But in midair, Grey danced around them with aerial elegance. Each slash missed him by re inches.
In swift retaliation, he conjured multiple Sky Cutters—blades of wind sharp enough to cleave boulders.
They tore through the battlefield toward the beast, but once again, it burrowed underground, evading the attacks as the Sky Cutters raked deep scars into the earth.
"I hate that damn burrowing ability. If only I could stop it just for a second…" Grey muttered under his breath.
The creature burst out again, and this ti Grey responded with a dozen lightning arrows, firing them like rapid-fire artillery.
The beast spun, presenting its hardened, shimring purple exoskeleton.
The arrows struck true, sending waves of crackling energy rippling through its body.
The creature convulsed slightly, but still endured, roaring as it whipped its tail again, sending another flurry of venomous slashes toward Grey.
"I'll give it to you—you're definitely living up to your Level 7 ranking," Grey smirked as he twisted and weaved through the air, his movents graceful and calculated.
One slash narrowly grazed past his cheek, but didn't touch him. Another aid for his arm, but with a swing of his hand, a wind blade materialized and shattered the attack.
"But see, there's one big problem here," Grey added.
He suddenly dived.
A sonic boom erupted as he broke through sound barriers, descending at insane velocity. With a thunderous crash, he smashed into the beast's face.
The shockwave was enormous, kicking up dust and debris that washed over the battlefield and rattled spectators far away.
The beast staggered back, black blood oozing from its face as it skidded across the dirt, its limbs flailing. A victorious grin stretched across Grey's face.
"I've fought plenty of Level 7s—and I always find a way to win."
He snapped his fingers.
Four lightning arrows darted forward, homing in on the bruised spot he'd just punched.
They slamd into its face, including its crimson eyes, which sizzled and burned from the impact.
The creature howled in pain, writhing and swinging its tail in blind desperation, launching venomous waves—but none reached Grey. Earth walls rose one after the other, blocking them all.
"Now that I've got you standing still…" Grey said, his voice cold with focus.
The earth beneath him cracked and trembled. Then—boom!—a colossal arrow forged from solid earth surged upward, flas roaring along its shaft.
Lightning sparked at the tip, encasing it in a radiant glow of elental fusion. Fire, lightning, and earth—combined into one weapon.
The beast screeched, squirming madly. Out of its eight eyes, four had already been destroyed. It snapped open the remaining ones and saw the incoming projectile.
Panicked, it burrowed again—this ti, reappearing at Grey's far right, faster than ever before.
It swung its pincers.
BOOM!
The impact crashed into Grey's side, sending him flying like a ragdoll. Blood sprayed from his mouth as ribs cracked under the sheer force. He smashed into a building, leveling it completely.
"ARGHHHHHHH!" Grey cried out in agony, blood dripping from his forehead.
The rumble of the ground signaled the beast coming for more. It burst out again, swinging its tail toward him. But Grey ducked in ti.
A fierce burst of wind exploded from his position, slamming into the beast and pushing it back.
Two blazing fireballs orbited around him—then with a snap of his fingers, they shot forward, crashing into the monster and sending it stumbling once again.
"Earth Magic—Bind!" Grey shouted.
Stone tendrils erupted from beneath the beast's feet, anchoring them tightly to the ground. No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't move.
"You're one persistent bastard, I'll give you that. But no matter what you try… you'll never defeat the Supre Mage!" Grey declared, fury igniting in his eyes.
"Wind Magic—Aerius Ultra!"
A storm-level gust howled to life, amplifying the flaming, lightning-charged arrow. The sound was deafening—a thunderclap that rang in every ear. The arrow rocketed forward like divine punishnt.
The beast, desperate, flailed and swung its tail one final ti to stop Grey—but earth walls surged up, blocking every slash.
BOOM!
The elental arrow hit the beast from behind with cataclysmic force. Wind blasted outward, flattening the surrounding terrain and making a nearby building quake.
The arrow pierced the beast's body completely, shattering the pulsating mana core at its back. The tip erged from its front—bloodied and sizzling.
It let out a final, strangled screech before its body collapsed.
The portal in the distance, once swirling violently, shimred a few tis… then vanished.
Grey fell to his knees, panting heavily, his body trembling from exhaustion.
"Finally… the mission is over!" Vorden's voice rang out, breaking into sobs.
Tears stread down his cheeks, and others followed suit—relieved, overwheld.
"We… we did it! We finally earned enough stars… to move up to the second year!" Vanica cried, dropping to her knees as tears flowed freely.
"Will you pull yourself together and start healing people?" Greg barked.
"Ri–right!" Vanica stamred, snapping back to reality. She summoned five luminous birds, and they flew out, gently landing on the wounded. One by one, the injuries faded under their healing glow.
A few minutes later, the lightbirds dispersed, and the students stood—wounded, but alive.
Grey summoned his wind bird once more.
"Let's head back," he said with a weary but proud tone.
Scarlet raised her hands, and with Grey's help, flas swept across the battlefield, incinerating the corpses of the fallen beasts.
When all was done, the team soared into the skies—riding the wind back to the academy.
