CHAPTER 194: BATTLE OF THE EPIC RANKS

Rowan said, "By the way, you also saw those two brats over there, right?"

Lucas sighed. He had also seen them when they appeared near the battlefield.

And those two were the most important candidates this year.

And both of them were watching the battle like they were watching a circus.

But they didn’t have much time to think. The ape attacked again with unimaginable speed.

It became more aggressive when it saw the newcomer block its attack with bare hands.

Now that Rowan was here to cover his back, Lucas concentrated on his attack spells.

He was a fire elemental magus.

He unleashed one of his most powerful spells.

"The Roar of the Dragon."

A dragon was formed by fire and attacked the ape like a living creature.

Lucas wasn’t done yet. He used Fire Lance next.

Thousands of lances rained down on the ape from the sky.

But the ape was at the top of the food chain in this part of the forest.

It unleashed another spell. This time it was a magus-level spell. A lightning ape, at its own size, was formed and attacked the fire dragon.

Meanwhile, Rowan took out his spear and attacked the ape while it was still busy dealing with the fire dragon.

But it noticed him the moment he went near and punched at him.

Rowan extended his spear and used a spear technique.

"Thousand Petal Blossoms."

His hands became invisible. Only thousands of spear shadows could be seen. The punch and the spear shadows collided.

And they canceled out each other.

The ape was too strong.

They were having problems keeping up with it.

But they didn’t know that at this moment, the maniac Ethan could barely contain his excitement.

He wanted to attack it too. Though his attack wouldn’t do much, he still wanted to attack.

And he would attack with the supreme spell,

"Last Ordeal."

He had already comprehended the second level.

But he wanted to use it with his portal magic.

His hair started floating in the air.

He extended both of his hands forward.

Then 100 portals appeared at different places of the ape.

He used the plasma beam from his left hand and "Last Ordeal" from his right hand.

It was a double casting of two different spells at the same time.

Moreover, one of them was supreme tier.

Ethan didn’t know this should not even be allowed to exist. He was bending the reality of the Magus Universe without even knowing.

Boom! A thick plasma beam and thousands of crimson lightning bolts passed through his ten fingers.

Here came another broken thing. The supreme tier spell was supposed to be powered by mana from the environment, because even a mythical-tier magus didn’t have this much mana stored inside his body.

But Ethan’s core was special. He had been storing mana for 3 years. Nonstop.

The moment he attacked, half of his mana vanished instantly, which had always seemed like a bottomless ocean to Ethan until now.

The power of the spell was unconditional.

Among the 100 portals, 50 released the plasma beam and 50 released the lightning bolts.

This caught the ape off guard. It didn’t even sense the attack until it was too late.

The beam struck its skin. Some of its fur burned, but it couldn’t harm its flesh. The crimson lightning, however, burned even its skin.

The ape roared in agony and started looking around to find the attacker. But it couldn’t find him.

Sunny saw everything. He sat on the ground with a loud thud.

Until now Ethan had only used spells to his level. But what he saw now... Ethan was like his father.

His focused and serious eyes while attacking, the intensity of the spell.

Sunny saw it all. He didn’t know how Ethan did it, but Ethan carved a huge place in his heart. He started admiring Ethan a little.

"Bro, you’re super, duper cool. How did you do it?"

Ethan sighed, "Damn it. I couldn’t even penetrate its skin."

This bastard in the High Magus level was trying to harm an epic beast and even injured it a bit.

If any higher-realm powerhouses saw this, they might declare war to take him under their tutelage.

Then Ethan smiled smugly at Sunny, "How is it, little brother? Big brother is awesome, right?"

Sunny nodded his head like a chick pecking its food.

Ethan became speechless. He was expecting ridicule from him.

But this little attack of his gave those two epic-ranked instructors the chance they needed.

Rowan roared,

"Apocalypse!"

Lucas also started chanting. High-level spells needed incantations to get better results.

"Wrath of the Sun!"

A miniature version of the sun appeared behind him and he tossed it toward the ape, and Rowan also attacked from a distance this time.

Apocalypse was an ultimate spear art. It could destroy even matter itself if it was used at full potential.

This time the ape didn’t get a chance to counterattack, and both attacks landed on him.

Lucas and Rowan thought they got it, but they were wrong. A barrier appeared in front of the ape and blocked their attacks like nothing.

They heard a voice,

"Enough playing today, come back."

As soon as the ape heard it, it started running toward the depths of the jungle.

The battle had ended. But it left a deep impression. Someone really was manipulating the ape.

Lucas and Rowan appeared where Sunny and Ethan were.

"Brats, didn’t I tell you to evacuate the forest? Why did you not listen to the order?"

Ethan said, "It’s not every day we can see a battle at this level. Why would we even miss such a chance? Besides, I knew you would be able to defeat it, Instructor. You were so cool back there."

Rowan instantly turned unhappy, "Brat, didn’t you see how cool I was? I was 100 times cooler than this old fox."

Ethan said, "You were also awesome, mister. Especially that last attack. So cool. It’s called Apocalypse, right?"
