CHAPTER - 151

  Selene screamed, merging her red aura with that of the sword, erupting into a storm of black and crimson.

  The arena shook.

  The blades clashed with such force that every strike sent a shockwave.

  The ground cracked. The air itself was sliced. And meanwhile, from every corner of the Academy, students and professors emerged, drawn by the earthquake shaking the walls.

  The battle continued.

  Dav wasn’t even using his true aura only that of the scythe.

  And yet, he held his ground.

  Selene tried for a final thrust, but Dav repelled her with a single blow, sending her skidding back dozens of meters.

  Myrrhya: Mom! Use my mana!

  Think of something that could take the form of a barrier!

  Narrator: Selene closed her eyes.

  Dav teleported with divine step right in front of her and delivered a critical strike.

  The shockwave tore through the sky.

  A crater opened beneath them, deep as hell.

  The professors’ eyes widened. Hair floating, faces distorted by the force of the air.

  No one could speak.

  When the smoke cleared, Dav saw... a barrier.

  A black form. A giant dragon coiled around Selene.

  Her eyes... Selene’s eyes one red, one blue.

  Fused with Myrrhya’s.

  Selene screamed, a red explosion engulfed half the arena.

  She lunged at Dav, struck him with power, then again from behind, over and over, using dimensional thrusts like a whirlwind.

  She hit Dav with a powerful attack that pushed him back many meters.

  Then she was behind him again, striking with another thrust but hit his barrier instead.

  A barrage of thrusts came from all sides using her dimensional assaults.

  Dav shifted swiftly with a step and turned, catching her in the corner of his eye.

  From the sky... meteors of fire and ice.

  “Sky Meteors!” mother and daughter shouted together.

  All aimed at Dav’s head.

  Dav sliced them in two before they could hit.

  The meteors shattered at his sides.

  Selene aimed for the final blow.

  Her sword pointed at Dav’s throat in milliseconds.

  The aura focused into a single strike.

  “You won’t block this one!”

  But in that instant, the connection broke.

  Myrrhya vanished.

  Selene, exhausted, collapsed.

  She fell into Dav’s arms, he was already there, waiting.

  “You did well, Sele... I’m proud of you.

  And of Myrrhya.”

  Silence fell over the arena. The sky was still torn open.

  The crater smoked.

  But in that moment, the most powerful thing... was just an embrace.

  The sky above the arena began to glow with golden and orange tones, scattered clouds reflecting the sunset’s light like veils of amber.

  The air was still thick with the energy of the battle just ended, dense and vibrant, but it was slowly settling, like a long breath after war.

  The cheers of the crowd were fading, replaced by a reverent silence, broken only by the wind slipping through the stands, carrying the final echoes of euphoria.

  Selene, still panting, lay in Dav’s arms, exhausted but smiling.

  Sweat pearled her brow, her long hair tousled by the magical storm resting on Dav’s shoulders like tangled silk.

  Her eyes, closed but peaceful, revealed a heart at ease.

  Deep down, she knew she had broken past an invisible barrier.

  She wasn’t just strong anymore: she had become something more.

  Something different. Something no one could ignore.

  Everyone in the arena had felt that change.

  Some trembled from the power she displayed, others rejoiced at the feat, and some cried from sheer emotion.

  Some shouted her name, others simply knelt as if in the presence of a divine force.

  They were no longer spectators to a duel.

  They had witnessed the birth of a legend.

  Valeria and Lucrezia embraced amid smiles and laughter, clapping with reddened hands from the strength of their applause.
