Imprisoned for a Trillion Years, I Was Worshipped by All Gods!

"It's interesting; his aura is so contained at this level. Alan doesn't seem simple at all."

"Only a fair fight is interesting. Let's see how they perform."

The woman in palace attire said with great interest.

The man in a top hat nodded, and they both turned their attention to the arena.

As the top forces of Snowguard City, one could not hope to join them without exceptional talent and strength.

Seeing these two important figures looking over, the seneschal wasted no time.

"The time is up; the life-and-death duel begins!"

With that, he dashed off the stage.

As the seneschal left, magical runes erupted beneath William's feet, and flames burst forth as he charged toward Alan like an arrow released from a bow.

Tier-Bronze Movement Technique: Flame Step!

This was a fire-type release movement technique that drastically increased speed by releasing compressed fire elements.

It was one of House Roan's basic magics.

However, due to William's Hellfire bloodline, he had a natural affinity for fire elements. At this moment, his fiery surge was nearly twice as fast as a normal execution!

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Alan, his hand enveloped in twisting red flames, radiating heat.

Flame Fist, Tier-Bronze Strengthening Magic!

It reinforced the arm and could shatter stone!

Without holding back, William unleashed his most proficient spell, aiming to obliterate Alan in one strike.

William's assault was swift and fierce, but in Alan's heightened soul perception, everything was clear. He narrowed his eyes and countered with a punch of his own!

Flame Fist!

Both were basic spells from their families.

Though lacking William's Hellfire bloodline enhancement, Alan's flames were more refined, exhibiting a mastery of the technique.

Bang!

The two fists collided in an instant, and a brilliant explosion of fire erupted between them.

William's arm jolted, and the confident smile on his face froze.

The overwhelming force from Alan's punch caused his arm to ache intensely, sending him staggering backward, leaving long black marks as his feet scraped the ground.

This scene elicited a wave of disbelief in the crowd, with many rubbing their eyes, unable to believe what they were witnessing.

William was easily suppressed by Owen!

He was the Hellfire bloodline and a Tier-Bronze early mage!

Hadn't Alan's mana core shattered?

How could he possess such formidable combat strength?

Amidst the crowd's shock, confusion also arose.

The seneschal, who had just sat down and sipped a drink, leapt up, astonished.

When did Alan's combat ability become so terrifying?

He was merely a Tier-Iron Lv6 mage, and in comparison to the current Tier-Bronze early William, there should have been a vast gap!

"How is this possible?!"

Stabilizing himself, William realized he was seeing Alan for the first time, his impression completely shattered!

However, Alan ignored his shock and stepped forward, launching another punch at him.

Only then did William react, raising his hand to block, but was again sent reeling, this time to the edge of the arena.

His expression darkened. Today, he intended to step over Alan to achieve his ambitions, not be suppressed by him.

In an instant, anger and killing intent surged in his heart, and a special heat wave began to radiate from his body.

Fire elements gathered frantically around him, raising the air temperature sharply.

With a massive influx of fire elements, William's skin turned a bright red, appearing as though covered in a layer of lava armor, his aura reaching nearly Tier-Bronze mid-level!

Compared to Tier-Bronze early, he had surged up a level!

"Is this the terror of the Hellfire bloodline? His aura has increased so much?"

"Alan hasn't broken through to Tier-Bronze yet. Now that William is akin to Tier-Bronze mid-level, Alan is in danger."

"Tier-Bronze mid-level is where even the elders stand."

Many spectators gazed at the rampaging William with awe in their eyes.

If they had such strength, they could strut through the Northern District!

After the explosive surge, William felt a terrifying power coursing through him, as if he could shatter a cow with a single punch.

If Alan were to face him with the same earlier attack, it would definitely be Alan who was sent flying!

"Today, let me show you that the prodigy of House Roan is me, not you!"

He roared, stomping down on the arena surface, leaving a faint imprint of his foot, and then the fire magic erupted, making him even faster, producing a whooshing sound.

Sensing William's rising aura, Alan remained calm.

After breaking through Tier-Iron Lv10, the total amount of magic within him and his explosive capacity had surpassed that of an average Tier-Bronze early mage.

Now using his special bloodline, William was merely catching up to Alan.

Still daring to be arrogant before him?

Alan advanced rather than retreating, continuously clashing with William, as the arena echoed with the sounds of violent explosions.

For Alan, who had been through many battles, this was merely an appetizer.

Be it fists, knees, or elbows, every attack became a dominating assault that pushed William back again and again!

"Has Alan been injected with some kind of adrenaline? Previously, many geniuses from the Northern District challenged him, and most were downed within three moves. Now, Alan's combat strength is terrifying!"

"I feel like William is treating Alan as a stepping stone but may end up hurting himself…"

Witnessing William's explosive performance yet still being suppressed by Alan, many mages in the audience were stunned, unable to foresee such an outcome.

They had come hoping to gain favor with William, anticipating that once he soared to greatness, meeting him would become exceedingly difficult.

The three lords of the Northern District also displayed expressions of bewilderment.

The situation should not have been like this.

How had Alan managed to overpower William?

There was a substantial tier gap between them.

They were well aware of William's explosive power and regarded it with great caution.

Alan's attacks, though not flashy, seemed to exploit every weakness in William's defense, as if he were countering him perfectly.

"Such strong combat experience and keen magical perception…"

The two figures from Snowguard City exchanged glances, their eyes reflecting their astonishment.

Even with their years of combat experience, they wouldn't dare claim superiority over Alan's current prowess.

If Alan were to break through to Tier-Bronze early, they feared William might be crushed in an instant.

"This Alan must truly be the real genius!"

In that moment, both felt this thought surge within them, their gazes burning with excitement.

Then, the woman in palace attire seemed to recall something and slowly said,

"However, William is indeed Hellfire bloodline. This bloodline possesses some mysterious aspects. If he lets his guard down, he could easily be defeated."

As William found himself in a precarious situation, the seneschal clenched his fists and reminded him,

"The Hellfire bloodline has three transformations; activate the second transformation!"

Hearing the seneschal's words, many furrowed their brows. This was a life-and-death duel, and others could not interfere; they understood this was a matter of life and death between the two.

Yet, unlike others' disdain, William seemed to understand something upon hearing this, his eyes lighting up.

Then, crimson runes began to pulsate above his brow, and an inexplicable wave of energy spread out.

Suddenly, Alan sensed a dangerous aura and quickly dodged to the side, just as flames erupted from the spot he had just occupied, resembling a fiery sword that scorched the arena black.

"What's going on? He's manipulating fire elements from a distance; isn't that a magus technique?"

"Could it be that William is a hidden magus?!"

As William unexpectedly unleashed this technique, the crowd erupted in uproar!

Compared to the Hellfire bloodline, a magus is a rarity, one in a thousand!
