I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 23 Bloody Melee

Shi Daohan still remembered what Elder Cangyun had said to her before she left Mount Shu.

"A lineage that can be passed down for thousands of years must have something extraordinary about it. You should approach it with a learning attitude and never be arrogant or condescending."

Perhaps because she had only learned some basic magic in the few days since starting school, Shi Daohan began to think that "this is all there is to Western magic."

Seeing the magic Donaldson unleashed truly opened her eyes.

"kill!"

On the black volcano, the demon girl with golden wings let out a clear, cold shout. With a flap of her wings, a pair of golden divine swords shot out.

The divine light shone brightly, and the swirling golden light, like an inextinguishable divine fire, slashed and cleaved towards Donaldson's head.

With a flick of his magic wand, Dean Donaldson caused the illusory lion, taller and more imposing than a mountain, to soar into the sky. It roared and unleashed endless divine fire that engulfed the two golden swords, burning them fiercely and attempting to melt them on the spot!

"Sizzle"

The two divine swords, like two golden lightning bolts, crisscrossed and crashed through the sea of ​​fire, causing the sky to tremble slightly.

"kill!"

"Drive them out of here!"

Just then, the other two great demons also made their move. Their demonic energy surged into the sky, their killing intent soared to the heavens, and their surging demonic power swept across the sky like a raging sea.

At the same time, the four senior elders of Horagaka Academy also took a step forward, their bodies radiating divine light that almost illuminated the sky, dispersing all the demonic energy that rushed towards them.

Demonic energy surged, divine light shone endlessly, and a great battle erupted. Several powerful demons clashed with the top combatants of Horagaka Academy. Radiant light filled the air, and various magical artifacts and sacred objects seemed to come alive, emitting divine light and instantly illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.

The clanging sounds were incessant, each one a clash and contest between magic and demonic power, causing the entire sky to tremble.

At the same time, all the ferocious birds and beasts that had previously roamed among the ruins at the foot of the mountain also came to the crater.

A dozen or so powerful individuals from Horagaka Academy also ascended to the top from the other side, confronting the demonic beasts.

Their great battle is about to erupt!

In the distance, Shi Daohan watched from afar. It would be impossible for her not to have any thoughts about the divine treasure in that ancient castle, but now was not the right time for her to make a move.

Let alone the three great demons on the mountain, those twenty-odd ferocious birds and beasts alone would be enough to give her a hard time. A head-on confrontation is definitely not going to work. She can only wait for the situation to become chaotic before looking for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

"Thump"... "Thump"... "Thump"

During this time, a dull sound kept coming from the ancient castle, as if someone was beating the war drums of heaven, or as if a heart was beating. Each sound made people's hearts tremble.

Even these cultivators found it hard to withstand; if there were any ordinary people present, they would definitely be killed on the spot by such a sound.

Boiling magma gushed and overflowed, and the terrifying heat turned half the sky red, as if it were about to melt.

That ancient and magnificent castle floats in the lava, exuding the vicissitudes of time.

"boom"

With a final, violent tremor, all the dozens of chains at the base of the castle snapped, and it rose completely into the air from the lava, with intricate and mysterious demonic patterns appearing and disappearing.

"Boom!"

The entire volcano trembled, and the magnificent and ancient castle rose into the air, radiating a dazzling light that dimmed the sun, moon, and stars in the sky.

The powerful demons and Lord Donaldson immediately stopped fighting and rushed towards the magnificent ancient castle, all wanting to be the first to open the castle gates and obtain the divine treasures inside.

In terms of speed alone, the demon girl with golden wings was undoubtedly the fastest among them all. With a flap of her wings, she was the first to arrive at the gate of the ancient castle, just like a golden lightning bolt, and was about to push open the tightly closed stone door.

However, to everyone's surprise, blood-red lines appeared on the cold stone door, emanating an incomparably powerful force that sent her flying.

Even a powerful demon like her had to tumble several times before she could barely regain her balance.

Seeing this, the others couldn't help but gasp, and they all summoned their weapons and sacred artifacts, holding them in front of them as they cautiously approached.

This magnificent ancient castle seems to have traveled through time from the distant past, and one can clearly feel the passage of time.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the black, cold walls and pillars are engraved with many ancient characters, vigorous and powerful, with strokes as strong as iron and as sharp as silver, penetrating the stone walls.

Although I couldn't understand what was written, just looking at the strokes of the writing was enough to feel the aura of a ruler who looked down upon the world.

It is a unique script of the demon race, an imperial script that only emperors can master!

These words contained immense and unfathomable power. Several attempts by the group to break through were blasted away, preventing them from even getting close, let alone opening the heavy stone door.

"Let's all cease hostilities for now and work together to open this door, shall we?" Headmaster Donaldson suggested.

The powerful demons exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement.

"boom"

Several powerful demons, along with Donaldson and other top experts from Horagaka Academy, joined forces to finally shake the gate of the ancient castle, opening a small crack just wide enough for one person to squeeze through sideways.

A powerful surge of life energy erupted from the crevice, instantly blasting everyone outside away.

After regaining their footing, everyone rushed forward immediately.

The great battle broke out again, with magic and sorcery clashing constantly. Master Donaldson and the other three great demons crowded in front of the ancient castle gates, each unwilling to let the other get there first and each wanting to be the first to enter the castle.

The top experts of Horagaka Academy used all their skills and fought fiercely with the three great demons.

Intense light flashed, the sky trembled, and various rays of light crisscrossed and collided, spreading a chilling aura in all directions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, one of the top leaders of Horagaka Academy was forced to retreat, his chest pierced by the great demon covered in blue scales, and half of his shattered heart was ripped out alive.

Blood splattered onto the face of the great demon, making his already ferocious and terrifying appearance even more savage.

Headmaster Donaldson's expression was icy. He drew strange trajectories in the air in front of him with his magic staff, and a holy sword with a cross appeared.

It is over three meters long and is shaped like a cross. It is forged from gold and looks very heavy. Every time it is swung, it makes a sound like the wind breaking.

"puff"

The great demon, whose body was covered in blue scales, had one arm severed on the spot, blood gushing out, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

At the same time, a fierce battle broke out between the more than twenty ferocious birds and beasts and the powerful figures of Horagaka Academy, which was equally brutal.

A monstrous beast with a wide mouth and fangs stood upright and tore a powerful student from Horagaka Academy in two with its claws, blood splattering everywhere, a gruesome sight.

Beside him, a powerful figure from Horagaka Academy also flew into a rage, wielding the Holy Sword and retaliating in kind, instantly cleaving a monster in two.

This was a bloody battle, with heavy casualties and extremely tragic consequences.

"These people are also my mentors, should I go and help them?" Shi Daohan muttered to himself, but if he made a move at this time, he might put himself in danger.

She was only studying at Horagaka Academy as an exchange student. After three years, she could return to Shushan to serve as an elder. There was no need for her to risk her life for these outsiders.

Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted her thoughts. In the ruins of a building not far away, the burly man who had been transformed from a skull was now shrouded in a misty blue aura.

A strange green light flowed from his body, breaking the seals previously placed on the powerful figures of Horagaka Academy.

"brush"

The man opened his eerie green eyes, and two beams of green light shot out from his pupils, looking incredibly sinister.

Seemingly noticing Shi Daohan's gaze, he turned around and looked over, his eyes filled with icy coldness.

Shi Daohan did not dodge, but instead met his gaze defiantly.

The man sensed the provocation, and his gaze grew even colder. However, recalling his recent encounter, he felt a wave of fear and ultimately dared not lay a hand on Shi Daohan again.

He ignored Shi Daohan and instead set his sights on the ancient and magnificent castle.

At this moment, the battle there became even more intense. The castle gate had been pushed open halfway, and Lord Donaldson and two great demons had already stepped inside.

Suddenly, the burly man formed from a skull soared into the air, transforming into a streak of green light and hurtling towards the ancient castle atop the black volcano.

His sudden appearance surprised Dean Donaldson and several top leaders of Horagaka Academy. They were already struggling to deal with three powerful demons, and now another one had arrived, which was extremely disadvantageous for them.

When the three powerful demons saw the demonic markings on the man's skin, they all showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

The burly man ignored them and rushed into the castle at lightning speed.

Seeing this, everyone rushed in as well. After fighting for so long, how could they let this person who suddenly appeared get there first?

The three great demons, along with the top combat force of Horagaka Academy led by Dean Donaldson, all entered the castle.

Behind them, the equally terrifying and formidable demonic beasts and the group of powerful individuals from Horagaka Academy also took to the air and rushed towards the castle.

"Thump"

Just then, a muffled sound came from inside the ancient castle once again, stronger and more terrifying than before.

The two powerful figures from Horagaka Academy were so shocked that they coughed up blood and staggered back several steps.

Not far away, a monster also cracked all over and exploded in mid-air, scattering a shower of blood.

"Thump"... "Thump"... "Thump"...

The muffled sounds continued to ring out, with the intervals getting shorter and shorter. All the demonic beasts and the powerful members of Horagaka Academy suffered heavy injuries. Some of the weaker ones were even blown to pieces on the spot, unable to withstand the shockwaves.

On the distant cliff, Shi Daohan was shocked. What kind of power did that ancient and magnificent castle contain that was so terrifying?

Although they were hundreds of meters apart and she was protected by divine light, the increasingly powerful life force felt like a vast mountain pressing down on Shi Daohan, making her feel overwhelmed.

"Boom!"

The magnificent and ancient castle trembled, and a fierce battle raged inside, with roars and howls constantly emanating from within.

"Bang"

A flash of emerald light appeared, and a burly man formed from a skull was blasted out of the castle, looking somewhat disheveled, which made Shi Daohan want to laugh.

"It's time for me to make my move."

Shi Daohan spoke softly, then used his profound magic to change his appearance, transforming himself into a handsome young man with a refined and elegant appearance, dressed in flowing white robes.

The battle inside the castle was incredibly fierce, earth-shattering, yet it didn't cause the castle to show even the slightest sign of collapse. An extraordinary power was flowing through it, making it immortal and indestructible.

This ancient castle is magnificent enough from the outside, but its interior space is even more spacious, like a small world.

In the very center of the castle, there is a huge altar suspended in mid-air. It is entirely black, with auspicious rays of light flowing around it and casting down a hazy, divine glow, making it extremely mystical.

However, what is most exciting is that there is a parchment scroll on that platform!

Perhaps it is the Adoran Scripture mentioned by Headmaster Donaldson, or perhaps it is a classic written by Diablo himself.

Everyone in the arena wanted to rush over and take it for themselves.

However, no one was able to get close, because there was an incredibly terrifying pressure that could crush a person on the spot!

Just now, a top-ranking member of the Horagaka Academy rushed forward, only to be torn to pieces on the spot by that oppressive force, leaving no trace of his body or even his blood. This shocked everyone present, and no one dared to make any further moves.

Shi Daohan's appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention, and all eyes fell on her.

"Eastern cultivators? This is not a place for you," a top expert from Horagaka Academy said in a deep voice.

"The Adoran Scripture is a treasure of the Western magical world. Eastern cultivators, do you also intend to steal our treasure?" Another top expert looked at Shi Daohan with an unfriendly expression.

Before Shi Daohan could answer, the great demon covered in blue scales roared, "Bullshit! Whether it's the Adoran Holy Scripture you're talking about isn't even confirmed yet, don't jump to conclusions!"

The great demon, who was ten zhang tall, covered in heavy armor and wielding a giant sword, nodded and said, "Perhaps it is a classic text left behind by our clan's Great Emperor."

They weren't helping Shi Daohan; they were just unhappy that the people from Horagaka Academy were calling something that wasn't even certain the Adoran Bible.
