Chapter 62 I'll Be a Little More Serious

"Den!"

Above the Sirius Dome stage, the nameplates of the two competing teams opened up as windows, allowing countless lights to shine down, illuminating the entire venue.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, two teams appeared on stage from the contestant passages on both sides of the stage.

The voice of the live broadcaster continued to sound during this period.

"Now, on our left are the pair of Aize and Toudou Qilin from the Seidoukan Academy, and on our right are the sisters Urseth from the Leiwolf Black Academy!"

"Both teams are extremely powerful in this Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival. They have been doing very well since the preliminary rounds. Even when entering the fiercely competitive official competition, these two teams have never shown any signs of fatigue. They have won every game easily and advanced to the next round easily!"

"In comparison, the other two teams in the semi-finals, Amagiri Ayato and Julis Alexia von Risfit, went through a very intense and tragic battle. It was very difficult to advance all the way, accumulating a lot of fatigue and injuries. In comparison, the two teams in this match really advanced easily!"

The live broadcaster's passionate commentary made the cheers at the scene even louder, and also made a man and a woman in the Student Union's private box at Seidoukan Academy jump their eyes.

"Just explain it, why drag us out and step on us?"

Julis, who was sitting in the front row, had a cross on her forehead, looking very angry.

"Well, it was indeed very difficult for us to advance."

Amagiri Ayato had some self-awareness and smiled bitterly.

There is no way. The reason why it is so difficult to advance is that the opponent is extremely strong. One reason is that he has his own problems.

There was a seal inside Amagiri Ayato's body that allowed him to only exert his full strength for a short period of time. This was exposed after the fourth round of the game.

Therefore, in the fifth round and the sixth round semi-finals, Amagiri Ayato suffered a lot and played extremely hard.

Fortunately, they all made it through in the end, not only successfully advancing to the semi-finals, but Amagiri Ayato also made a major breakthrough himself.

Now, the seal in his body is basically no longer a problem, and compared to when he first participated in the Phoenix Star Martial Festival, his strength has improved greatly.

"Your promotion is a long-awaited great event for our Star Guidance Hall."

Claudia sat next to Julis and spoke with a smile.

"Our academy hasn't had good results in the Star Martial Arts Festival for many years, but this time, two teams advanced to the semi-finals. Just based on this result, we can get a pleasing score on the overall score sheet of the Star Guidance Hall this year. If everyone can win today's semi-finals and advance to the finals, then we don't have to worry about the overall results of this season."

In fact, this point has also caused widespread discussion on the Internet.

Although the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival has not yet ended, two of the top four are contestants from the Star Guide Academy, which is undoubtedly a long-awaited good result.

For this reason, some people believe that the Star Guide Academy, which has been in a slump for many years, will finally reverse its decline and rise again, while some people feel insecure and continue to speak ill of the Star Guide Academy and openly stand on the side of their favorite academy. However, this cannot change the fact that the Star Guide Academy has the advantage in this year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival.

Therefore, many people are indeed looking forward to it and want to know whether there will be people from the Star Guide Academy on the two final teams of this year's Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival.

"The prerequisite is that they must defeat the [Vampire Princess] first."

Julis crossed her arms and said so.

In the afternoon, their game will start as scheduled, and their opponent will be the Alejandro Institute, with whom they had a grudge before.

For them who have had an extremely difficult time along the way, another tough battle awaits them in the afternoon.

But they still came to the scene to watch the game with Claudia.

If they win in the afternoon, the winning group will be their opponent in tomorrow's final.

"I hope Ai-san and Toudou-san can win."

Amagiri Ayato thought so sincerely.

“It shouldn’t be easy, right?” Claudia looked at the two players on the field and said, “After all, the opponent is that Vampire Princess.”

Claudia said this, but her eyes were not fixed on Irene herself, but on the Blood Scythe in her hand.

Seeing that the Tyrant Blood Scythe had been activated and the blade was bloodier than any other time she had seen before, Claudia's face became solemn.

"...Have you already replenished a lot of fuel in advance?"

It seems that I can see the power that has never been brought into play in the past.

The true power of the Tyrant Blood Scythe...

Under the gazes of the spectators with various expressions, the two competing parties on the stage had stopped and arrived at their positions.

"Finally, this day has come."

Irene carried the Blood Scythe on her shoulder and stared at Aize with her red eyes.

"Are you ready to be torn to pieces by me? [Wave Star Devil Sword]!"

Irene's words and attitude clearly showed that she was targeting her prey.

Facing Irene like this, Aize had a blank expression on his face and activated the pitch-black generator in his hand.

A bright red light bloomed from the red Wanying crystal. The amazing Wanying element created a heat wave, turned into heat, and condensed into a sword body.

"Buzz!"

Aize raised the Black Furnace Demon Sword high, then swung it hard to the side, and a stream of hot air suddenly surged out.

In the air flow, the flames rose and fell, and the blade of the magic sword vibrated frequently, but it was purple-black.

"Oh! Everyone, look at contestant Aize's Blackforge Demon Sword! The blade, which was pure white before, has turned black!"

The live broadcaster keenly caught this detail and shouted loudly.

“This guy…” Irene’s pupils shrank sharply, and her ferocious attitude slightly subsided. She said in astonishment, “Are you planning to do it for real right from the start?”

In order to help Irene deal with Aize, the guy from Leiwolf Black Academy also provided her with very detailed information.

Thanks to this, Irene already knew that the Black Furnace Demon Sword's pure white blade, which was completely contrary to its name, was actually the state it was in when its output power was at its lowest.

Once the output and power are increased, the blade of the Black Furnace Demon Sword will gradually turn black.

When the blade of the Black Furnace Demon Sword becomes as black as ink, that is the extreme state of the demon sword, and it is also the time when its power reaches its peak.

When the sword body is purple-black, the output of the Black Furnace Demon Sword is at an average normal level. Although its power is not as strong as when the sword body is pure black, it is much stronger than when the sword body is pure white.

In the past, users of the Black Furnace Demon Sword could only use it to this extent.

Before this, Aize had always been using the Black Furnace Demon Sword with a pure white blade, and it was only today that a glimpse of the true power of this demon sword was revealed.

This also means that he has no intention of letting up.

He was prepared to take this battle seriously from the very beginning.

"You've made adequate preparations, haven't you?"

Aize glanced at the Blood Scythe in Irene's hand.

The authority in his body told him that the current state of the Tyrant Blood Scythe was far better than before.

"In that case, I should be a little more serious in return."

Raising the Black Furnace Demon Sword with a purple-black blade, Aize looked directly at Irene with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Don't let me finish too quickly, Irene Urseth."

Hearing this, Irene frowned and said nothing more.

"elder sister……"

Priscilla called softly with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, trust me." Irene said without turning her head: "You step back first."

Priscilla nodded and quietly stepped back.

"Qiang..."

At the same time, Toto Kirin, who had been standing next to Aize and had remained silent, drew his sword with a stern expression.

Both sides entered a state of preparation for war, creating a tense atmosphere.

"Time is up!"

As the live broadcaster shouted, the school emblems of both teams began to glow red.

"Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival semi-finals, first round."

The sound of machinery echoed above the stage.

"Game start!"

The moment the loud reminder sounded——

"Boom!"

On the field, except for Priscilla who retreated to the back, the other three pushed off the ground at the same time and rushed out.

The star power surged in the three people's bodies, causing bursts of flying stardust.

Soon, amid the crazy cheers of the audience, the two sides collided and a fierce battle broke out.
