Kai thrust his fist towards Reinhart who blocked it with his right arm and leaped back.
The purple aura began to spread slowly and little by little, Reinhart felt the connection to his arm fading.
"I see... I was right," Reinhart said, after looking at his decaying right arm.
Before Lian's warning, he had also taken note of the details she noticed.
He shifted his gaze back to Kai, and walked towards him again.
"What is he doing?!" Layla panicked. "If he knew why did he fucking take that directly!"
"Kai... That's what they called you, right?" Reinhart sighed heavily. "It's time to bring this to an end..."
The purple aura eating up Reinhart's arm suddenly vanished. The atmosphere became hotter than before. Even the sweat on his body evaporated.
The bodies of all mages, after awakening their magical abilities, usually underwent a form of evolution, in order to adapt to the nature of their powers.
Being the heir of the Solgrave family's sun god slaying magic, Reinhart had a body strong enough to withstand a high level of heat.
The estimated level of heat Reinhart's body could endure was around 15 million degrees Celsius.
He took advantage of this and created a new technique on the spot, in order to counter Kai's ability.
Using his fire magic to increase the heat of his body to 13 million degrees Celsius, Reinhart burned the effects of Kai's mana off his body. His flames not only burnt that which one could touch but mana itself.
This, however, began to rapidly drain Reinhart's stamina. And he was currently on his last legs. He only had a maximum of three minutes to maintain this state.
Kai noticed this and smiled with thrill, "All this power... Wasted..."
Reinhart was now in point blank range. They stared into each other's eyes. Both sides were aware this would be the last round between them.
Kai delivered a sharp punch to the side of Reinhart's face, shattering the ground below him and scattering dust.
"Reinhart!" Lian and Layla screamed.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
The atmosphere became silent as the dust cleared up. There he was. The King of Hell. He was standing dominantly, with Kai's fist buried in his cheek.
"I don't know what your reasons are," Reinhart spat out a drop of blood, "But I won't lose to anyone who would hurt innocent people,"
"Earlier you said I had so much power but they're wasted..."
"Meaning I'm using my power for the wrong cause. Kai, I could say the same for you..."
Following his words, Reinhart delivered a punch to Kai's abdomen, sending waves of air, shattering the ground behind Kai.
And the final exchange between the King of Hell and the Walking Impossibility began.
Each strike more devastating than the last. Blood dripped from their wounds and bruises marred their skin, but neither of them showed any sign of backing down.
They were locked in a fierce battle of wills, driven by their determination to defeat each other, regardless of the cost.
They felt their powers draining their stamina, pushing them to their limits. They knew they had to finish the fight soon, but neither of them would yield an inch.
With a thunderous impact, they both landed a punch on each other's face, sending shockwaves through the air. They flew backwards like ragdolls, crashing on the hard ground. They both landed on their backs and struggled to get back on their feet, gasping for breath.
"Come on... Is that all there is to you?" Kai said as he wiped the blood of his lips with his trembling hand.
He felt a surge of pain in his jaw, but he ignored it. His eyes began to bleed out due to the effects of Chrono Velocity.
But he didn't stop. He was determined to finish this fight, even if it cost him his life. A determination fueled by a reason Reinhart and the others could not make out.
Reinhart gathered all of his mana, and concentrated it in his right hand. He formed his hand into a palm, and prepared to land his final blow.
Both fighters leaped towards each other and launched their final blows towards each other with all their strength. They moved faster than the eye could see, leaving trails of light behind them. They met in the air, and their attacks collided, creating a huge explosion.
The students, except Levi and his friends, covered their eyes, and screamed. They could not see what was happening, and they feared for the worst.
They felt the heat and the pressure of the blast, despite Lian's barrier still being active.
Levi wondered, "Can anyone even survive that?"
The explosion lasted for a few seconds, and then faded away. The dust and smoke cleared, and revealed the outcome of the fight.
Reinhart was on his knees, motionless and bleeding heavily from different cuts and injuries.
He gasped for air, his chest heaving. The strength in him was completely gone. Even if he wanted to fight, he would barely do any damage.
The students upon laying their eyes on this feared the worst. Reinhart lost.
But as the smoke cleared up fully, hope returned to their hearts.
Kai was lying on the ground, motionless. His body was covered in burns and scars, his clothes were ripped and his eyes were blank.
At this moment, Riley regained her consciousness. She opened her eyes, and saw a scene the devastation.
"What the hell happened?" she asked as she struggled to get up, rubbing her head.
She saw Lian and the others staring at a particular direction with smiles of relief on their faces. She looked and saw Reinhart walking towards them. And some feet behind him, Kai was laying on the floor.
"What the hell? Those two did this?" She thought as Reinhart approached them.
"That guy was this strong?" she muttered, as she looked at Kai's body.
"Finally, it's over," Lian sighed with relief.
"I thought he was going to lose," she said, grabbing her chest, her voice breaking like she was about to cry.
"That dude's a god damn war god," Kyle exhaled in relief.
As Reinhart got close to the barrier, he noticed the eyes of Layla and the others suddenly widen with fright.
Then a chill ran down his spine as he heard a sinister voice that shouldn't be present. Instantly, he froze in his tracks.
"Omega Genesis..."
