High above, Serath loosed crimson arrows.
One arrow pierced the ground beside a student, exploding into a burst of red smoke.
Another arrow came flying—
"DUCK!" someone screamed.
They barely avoided it.
Serath smirked. "You won't dodge forever."
Meanwhile, Kael struggled to stay standing.
The giant demon swung its massive arm, Kael barely rolled aside, but the shockwave slammed him into a tree.
His classmates shouted, "KAEL!"
He staggered up, wheezing.
His vision blurred.
He triggered his skill —
Astral Punch!
A faint outline of a glowing fist struck the demon's ankle.
Tap.
It barely made the demon flinch.
Kael gritted his teeth. "Damn it… too weak…"
He activated his other technique —
Astral Severance!
His sword glowed faint white, and he sliced across the demon's knee.
A tiny cut appeared—
Then healed instantly.
The demon roared and kicked him again.
Kael flew across the battlefield, coughing blood.
"KAEL!" one of his classmates screamed and fired a spell.
