In Sumeru, pretend to be a scholar

Where had they ever seen a battle of this caliber?

This is beyond what humans could possibly achieve!

Are these two really something that humans can achieve?

They played for about half an hour.

Mavica forced Wang Yan back with a single sword strike, and the two retreated, staring at each other across the ravaged arena.

They both noticed the excitement in each other's eyes.

"If this keeps going, it'll never end... Wang Yan, let me see your even greater power, while ensuring everyone's safety."

Mavica stood with her greatsword, her long, crimson-gold hair fluttering in the turbulent currents of gravity and heat.

"In the name of the demon god [Hebrim]!"

"By the authority of 'struggle,' we summon men and gods to inherit it—"

She raised her hand, pointed at Wang Yan in mid-air, and gently hooked her finger.

The Ring of Blazing Sun behind him trembled, and thousands of golden patterns ignited around its circumference. At the center of the ring, a point of heavenly fire was gathering and falling, poised to be unleashed.

"All Fire Armaments? Ring of Blazing Sun, Liberation of the Divine Name."

The moment the last four words were uttered, Mavica smiled—a triumphant smile of finally being freed from constraints and able to fight with all her might.

Faced with the release of Mavica's power, Wang Yan's excitement was equally hard to suppress.

That's right!

That's right, that's right, that's right!

This is the kind of battle he wanted!

It's not about unleashing skills from a distance, nor is it about testing each other with a single sword strike.

It's a real battle, where everyone shows their cards and has a good fight!

Wang Yan took a deep breath, and his whole body floated even higher.

The three extraterrestrial principles within the domain had already reached their peak brilliance, and the seven-colored light membrane instantly doubled in brightness.

"By relying on the law of 'harmony,' we can invoke the principles governing all things!"

"The world is at my command!"

The moment the words fell.

The entire field has changed.

What was originally just a casual remark about paper chisels and sodium guzzling has now sunk down.

Throughout the entire domain, everything lost its original order.

Everything was subject to Wang Yan's will, changing arbitrarily and becoming unpredictable.

The moment the change occurred, Mavica sensed it, so she didn't hesitate at all.

Mavica was engulfed in flames, wielding a greatsword, and charged at Wang Yan once more.

It moved as fast as a bolt of golden lightning.

She was in mid-air when the Thousand Suns of Burning Radiance were already overhead, about to strike Wang Yan.

Wang Yan simply looked down at her and gently touched her territory with his hand.

"Danger should not come near me."

next moment.

Mavica was still rushing forward when her body was pulled back as if by an invisible hand, instantly returning her to the spot where she had just been standing.

Even she herself was taken aback.

"What is this?" Marwicka looked down at her hands, then looked up at Wang Yan, her eyes narrowing. "The power of space?"

But she did not hesitate.

In battle, hesitation for even a second means defeat.

Mavica stomped her foot and charged forward again.

This time, she increased her speed to the maximum, transforming into a streak of fire, and rushed to Wang Yan almost instantly.

Wang Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he waved his hand gently again.

"The direction here is reversed."

The next moment, the entire space beneath Mavica's feet instantly flipped upside down and in all directions.

While speeding along, Mavica stumbled and almost fell off.

But she is, after all, the demon of war.

Her battle instincts, honed through countless trials, allowed her to twist her waist abruptly in mid-air, causing her to slam her weight onto the ground and regain her balance.

In that brief pause, she had already adjusted to the upside-down orientation.

Mavica's eyes brightened slightly as she continued rushing towards Wang Yan.

She enjoys this kind of battle with its unexpected twists, like a fun little game.

Wang Yan stood in mid-air, watching her get closer and closer, and sighed softly in his heart.

really.

This minor modification is nothing to a being of the demon god level.

Especially for demons like Mavica who excel at combat, their fighting instincts are too strong. Small tricks like reversing direction or teleporting in space can only make them pause for a second or two at most, and they can adapt as soon as they turn around.

In the end, the battle must return to a direct confrontation of power.

You can't beat Mavica by just playing these fancy rule games.

While he was thinking, Mavica had already rushed in front of him.

The Thousand Suns of Burning Radiance, accompanied by a sky full of flames, slashed down from above.

Wang Yan looked at the sword that was growing larger and larger, and slowly clasped his hands together.

"In that case..."

"Then let's try this one."

next moment.

The entire field began to collapse inward.

-----------------

-----------------

Centered on Mavica, concentric rings of gravity pressed down on her relentlessly.

The stone slabs on the ground cracked and split, and the gravel, air, light, and even the elements and rules that existed within the domain—everything—were collapsing madly toward Mavica's point.

Marwicka felt the pressure on her body increase dozens of times in an instant.

It was as if the whole world was crowding onto her.

Her charge came to an abrupt halt halfway through.

The Thousand Suns of Burning Radiance cleaved through the air, unable to advance even an inch further.

Mavica gritted her teeth, her body engulfed in flames as she tried to counteract the terrifying pressure.

"Oh?"

She looked up at Wang Yan, her face showing no fear whatsoever; instead, she smiled even more broadly.

"Is this your greatest power?"

"That's interesting!"

She gripped the sword in both hands, and the flames around her body suddenly surged.

"Then let me see if your collapse can hold me down!"

Scorching flames surged from her body, and the Blazing Sun Sword in her hand shone so brightly that it was blinding.

This is no longer a sword.

This is a rising sun.

"Drink it!!!"

With a roar, Mavica gripped her sword in both hands and slashed upwards from the center of the collapse.

next moment.

A massive cloud of explosion shot into the sky from the collapsed center.

The crimson flames illuminated the entire area, and the terrifying explosion shook the entire arena.

Guan Xingxi Nayi's cute face seemed to be being fed, and she was about to run outside.

"What happened?!"

"Is it going to collapse?!"

"Run away!"

But as soon as they stood up, layers of transparent spatial barriers appeared around the arena.

The wall enveloped the entire arena, along with the aftershocks of the explosion.

People outside couldn't get in, and the aftershocks of the explosion inside couldn't get out either.

It was Wang Yan's domain that was protecting them.

The explosion lasted for a good ten seconds.

The towering flames slowly dissipated.

Everyone held their breath and looked toward the center of the arena.

Has the outcome been decided?

The explosion cloud slowly dissipated.

On the competition field.

Empty and desolate.

Both of them have disappeared.

The place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Where did they go? How come they just disappeared while we were fighting?

Everyone looked at each other with a puzzled expression.

Is this... gone? That can't be right.

……

"Cough cough, gently, gently, Mavica, I'm injured!"

"Ha, cough cough, haha, if you hadn't diverted some of your strength to contain the explosion, you wouldn't have been injured!"

In the [Department of Affairs], Wang Yan had already taken off his shirt, and Mavica was applying medicine to him.

"Aren't you the same..."
