Finally, on the third day, the kingdom that won the last battle in the world could participate. Kayden was placed last on the list for advancent. Azir was betting from behind and wanted to increase the chances of winning sothing good.
The start was quick and there was nothing major. Kayden saw several students get different scores, with most getting four lightning bolts. Sarah also advanced, getting four lightning bolts. Kayden didn’t expect her to participate in the advance and was surprised, but he didn’t pay much attention to details like his friends’ forces.
A few hours later, it was ti for Kayden to face his fate. He would obtain his seven rays and consecrate himself as the strongest great wizard. Around him, everyone had their heads down. Even though it was a distant dream, many wanted to face five rays and gain the reputation of being at the top.
" Where are you going, Kayden? Do you still have the announcent about how the battles will be," asked Locke when he saw the boy getting up. What no one expected was the answer he gave.
"I’m going to go take the test," he didn’t wait for his friends’ response and just floated under the gaze of dozens of people. In his kingdom, everyone knew his age and fa, aning he must not be ready to advance yet.
Considering Apollo, he would be the second youngest grand wizard in the Sun kingdom, and no one knew how many lightning bolts Kayden had gotten in his first breakthrough, not even the big organizations had access to it.
A few monts later, Kayden found himself in front of the stone. His mind went blank for just a second. He would get seven rays even if it cost him his life. He prepared absurdly for this.
A giant bubble that covered everyone’s vision appeared over Kayden. This had never happened before, and even the organizers were unsure of what to do. Within seconds, they began bombarding the bubble with ridiculously powerful spells.
Even Azir didn’t even think twice before releasing spells stronger than an atomic bomb, and even so, the bubble didn’t even suffer a scratch. Before everyone started attacking with their greatest spells, a voice ca out of nowhere.
"Stop wasting your ti. The boy will not be hard by whoever is inside," the organizers instantly stopped and the rest of the kingdoms followed suit.
The attack was only so instantaneous by everyone, as they knew that it was a human bubble and followed the organizers’ example. If they didn’t do the sa as them, they would be severely punished, and they knew it wouldn’t be light.
anwhile, Kayden found himself faced with a teenager with short stature and black hair. Instantly, he rembered where he knew him. He was the only person who made ti stop, and he didn’t know how.
"Thoth?"
"Hello, Kayden. I do not have much ti. This body cannot handle magic at this level. Well, that attempt was a failure," the last sentence seed to be sothing he said to himself. "I know you want to try the seven rays, but there is a problem in the ascension process of skipping levels. Even if you manage to face seven or eight lightning bolts, when you move forward, your body won’t withstand the advance and explode, and I don’t want to lose a favor from you, so I’ll cast a small curse before I kill myself," the teenager said. and then Kayden saw red smoke around him entering his body.
He couldn’t do anything and before he could say anything, he saw Thoth have his entire body burned by the mana around him. It was almost like he was paying for a sin. Then the barrier fell, showing Kayden shocked and unresponsive.
No one went to him, as the voice had already said that it was just a matter of waiting. It didn’t even take a second for Kayden to collect his thoughts and accept what happened. The curse wasn’t sothing he could fight. He didn’t even feel her on his body.
Furthermore, he didn’t even need it to avoid facing the seventh lightning. As stupid as it might be to trust soone unknown like that, Kayden knew that this boy was soone of high level, probably higher than anyone in there. He knew this because of when the boy stopped ti in front of transitional mages. This already proved its strength and mystery.
The fact that he couldn’t go all the way to the seventh ray was a shock to him, but it also turned out to be so last-minute good news. Otherwise, he might be dead right now.
"Co on," Kayden took a deep breath and placed his hand on the stone. Unlike when he drove the process alone, now he couldn’t stop it from happening. Furthermore, he felt his concepts being tied slightly tighter. That’s probably what made the process so easy.
"What the fuck?" Locke broke out of his calm character as he saw the heavens close in with golden clouds. Not only he, but most of the people around him were in complete shock. No one expected Kayden to have reached this level. The clouds caused a stir among all the people in the Sun kingdom and the rest as well. Counting Apolo and the boy from the first day, there were three people in the sa decade.
This was, without a doubt, the golden generation of humanity. The mana around Kayden began to beco abundant, almost like an offer for him to do his best in the ascension test. Most people received sowhere around 10 tis the normal mana, while Kayden was almost 30 tis, double the boy from day one.
It wasn’t long before lightning struck Kayden. The boy just used the mana around him to form a mana bubble and easily held off the attack. Kayden wasn’t even paying attention. This attack was stronger than the boy’s from the first day.
BOOOM!
The second bolt didn’t even make Kayden’s hair bounce. He just supported his mana bubble with even more mana and easily defended the attack. Kayden still wasn’t paying attention. Finally, the third attack ca, and...
BOOOM!
This ti it was incredibly strong and Kayden had to struggle to hold on. This was a beam far superior to any previous attack. It was even stronger than the fourth-level lightning that people received in the previous days.
The entire earth shook as a cloud of dust rose from the lightning. Huge pieces of earth were thrown to the sides. Kayden’s body sank to the ground and yet his bubble didn’t break even a scratch.
This ti, there was a ti between one lightning bolt and another, and Kayden pulled a frightening amount of mana into him, with a density of 30 tis, and his path managed to pull it over 300 ters. He practically had unlimited mana.
BOOOM!
The fourth ray fell terrifyingly and its brightness blinded everyone. Kayden was sunk at least a dozen ters, but even so, his bubble resisted and he didn’t even move a foot from where he started the challenge.
The lightning struck for several seconds and opened a gigantic crater in the ground. Kayden stood up and began to float upwards. This ti the situation was starting to get serious and he wasn’t going to take it as a joke anymore.
The surrounding mana began to rush towards him and swirl like a whirlpool around his body. It was an absurd amount of mana that no mage should be able to use.
Kayden began to draw all the mana into his index finger. The amount was simply too ridiculous for a first kingdom. He would use a pure mana aura slash and just wait for the lightning to co. He could use his sword for this, but it wouldn’t be as impressive, and, like it or not, this was his entry into the high level of the magical world.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The fifth ray fell like a divine punishnt with incomparable force. Its sound was so great that even several kiloters away it was heard as if it were close by. As soon as Kayden felt the attack coming, he threw the slash and….
BOOOM!
The sound barrier was broken like it was nothing. His aura slash was a shade of pure dark blue and he relentlessly attacked the gigantic beam. It was like a kitten attacking a tiger.
The attack that would kill 99% of all mages in the first kingdom was cut like butter by Kayden’s cut. It was impressive to see the giant being split in two in the sky, but even so, the cut was short-lived and the lightning returned to normal and hit Kayden’s bubble.
"Shit," Kayden felt his leg being severed from his body. He didn’t even blink when he saw this scene and continued defending the lightning with the bubble. After just a few seconds, which felt like years to Kayden, the attack ended.
