Chapter 198: Focus of Attention

At the heart of the battlefield...

Sein, a stealthy and ruthless initiate relentlessly amassing points, was not the only prominent figure on the battlefield.

Dominating the center was Gade the “Heart of Land”, the most prominent presence from the Divine Tower of Land Academy, bathed in blinding golden light.

Wearing geo elemental armor, Gade radiated under the glow of his divine tower badge, standing out as a formidable force.

To Sein, who had encountered many in the trial space, Gade posed the greatest threat yet and held the highest point total after him.

In Gade’s hand was a light gray magic rod, resembling a massive stone hammer.

Every time he swung his rod, a meteorite plummeted from the sky.

Streams of geo elemental energy particles converged on Gade from all directions, fueling his power. nove(l)bi(n.)com

His seemingly simple geo offensive advanced magic spell, “Falling Meteorite”, caused extensive casualties among the initiates from the Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder under his relentless releases.

In terms of casting frequency and speed, Gade matched the prowess of three Quasi Mage.

Remarkably, his mana and focus seemed inexhaustible. Even Sein struggled to understand how he could release advanced magic spells at such a rate.

Even more puzzling was Gade’s apparent lack of reliance on potions, wielding his mana like an endless well of elemental energy on the battlefield.

Sein had initially considered confronting this adversary bathed in golden light, but ultimately decided against it.

Gade was positioned at the heart of the Divine Tower of Land Academy’s forces, protected by a formidable group of two to three hundred senior initiates.

The challenge of breaching this defensive ring was daunting, even for someone of Sein’s caliber.

Additionally, Gade’s relentless pace of casting suggested he might have more surprises in store.

Numerous offensive spells from the Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder had approached Gade’s position, but most were intercepted by the initiates around him.

On the few occasions that spells neared Gade, they were swiftly neutralized with a simple gesture and the abrupt rise of a massive geo wall.

It was unclear whether his anger stemmed from Sein usurping the top position of the scoreboard or from the fallen initiate from the Divine Tower of Land Academy at Sein’s feet.

“SHIT!” Sein, typically composed, cursed under his breath after the uncontrollable golden light exposed his location.

Without time to collect his recent victim’s spoils, Sein swiftly ascended on his metal disk, heading toward a less populated area of the battlefield.

“Finish him off!” someone shouted, igniting a wave of excitement across the battlefield.

Both Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder and Divine Tower of Land Academy initiates directed their hostile glares at Sein.

United in their animosity, tens of thousands of initiates targeted him, marking a new chapter in the history of the regional academy wars!

Among them, Gade watched Sein intently.

Grunting coldly, he pursued Sein with his magic rod in hand.

The prospect of claiming Sein’s score, exceeding 100,000 points, consumed Gade’s thoughts!

Reflecting on his own score, which barely surpassed 40,000 points, Gade felt an unusual sting of humiliation.

Gade wondered where had this formidable initiate emerged from because he did not seem to hail from the Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder.

In fact, Gade’s early decision to wage war against the Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder was partially influenced by Sein’s presence.

He believed that only a well-established organization like the Divine Tower of Radiant Thunder could produce an initiate capable of challenging his top position, much like Martinez in the previous academy war.

“Who in the world is this guy?!” Gade muttered under his breath.

Due to his proximity, Gade was among the first to close in on Sein.

Unlike many initiates who favored long-range spells, Gade was no stranger to close combat.

His body, encased in a thick layer of geo elemental armor, provided formidable defense.

Before Gade could discern more details about Sein, he found himself under a sudden barrage of Solar Eye beams aimed directly at him!
