Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 456 - The Title of Special Existence

Noah had his awareness spread out to observe every single thing that occurred in the clear field of battle in front of them, so when the Three-Eyed Fate Child moved, he saw it all very clearly.

From the eyes of others, the being had simply moved his legs and instantly appeared in front of Volador with a dark glimmering blade placed at his throat, but Noah saw the movement of essence that he was familiar with, the essence of Time, and that of Space!

This being had actually either accelerated or slowed himself with time while also making use of a teleportation technique to cast a skill before his enemy even noticed it, their neck only feeling a cold blade that could take their lives at any instant.

His eyes turned serious as this was an extremely deadly enemy.

If he wasnʼt fast enough or he could not keep track of his movements as the enemy interfered with time and space, he could find himself in a similar position as this Volador. Of course, if he was able to use the Ultimate Treasure that was the Dagger of Time, this would be an entirely different case.

But his identity as Crixus prevented him from using a majority of his skills and items, especially a dagger that was considered a Cursed Item by the Celestials. He knew that he would have to be very careful when he faced this powerful Special Existence!

”Next up, Light and Xander”

The one to step up next was the other being that was a Special Existence, the one known as Grandmaster Light! She held a unique body composition that was actually made up of particles of light, her prowess lying in the Law of Light and the Law of Fate.

She stepped into the field of battle as she glanced at her opponent with calm eyes, the white light shining off of them showing a type of serenity rarely seen in the Light Expanse.

She had a humanoid form that seemed to shift every few seconds as the white light that made her moved around, her head shaped beautifully as tendrils of white lights flowed down to her shoulders. Her eyes shone with a hint of blue l.u.s.ter as she actually gave a nod of acknowledgment towards her opponent, the being known as Xander- someone that held the title of a Noble Fate and was currently standing in front of her before the battle began.

”Start!”

The command was given for the battle to start, Xanderʼs face serious as he began by casting Empyrean Guards and Empyrean Armament.

RUMBLE!

Essence converged as a gorgeous set of armor wrapped around him, his gaze watching Grandmaster Light who was simply watching him serenely to finish his transformation!

The moment he was finished, she moved with light steps as her figure turned into a streak of light towards him, her fair hands stretched forward as she came on to grasp a blade of white light on her right hand and a blade of golden light on her left hand.

This wasnʼt any type of skill, it was simply the manifestation of Fate Essence on the left hand and Light Essence on the right hand!

Noah did not know what the prerequisite was in order to utilize Light Essence with ease, but he knew one had to pass 100,000 Fate Lines in order to do so with Fate Essence.

This Grandmaster Light has actually mastered the Law of Light to a similar extent as the Law of Fate, her hands expertly using the essence of each of these two elements to attack her opponent.

BOOM!

Her blade made of Light Essence landed on Xander first, his hammer parrying the blade as a white light erupted and pushed him back. The blade made of Fate Essence arrived a millisecond later as it smashed down and repeated the same thing, Xander being pushed back again as his face became increasingly serious!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Shockingly, Grandmaster Light kept her calm smile as she continued to lightly swing down the two blades she held in her hands, using simple pure Fate and Light Essence to land attacks that caused Xander to not even be able to retaliate.

What Noble Fate?!

What genius?!

In the face of this Special Existence utilizing the Law of Light and Fate, she was using their pure essence to overwhelm Xander until all he could do was defend!

CRACK!

He wasnʼt able to release a single attack as he defended the entire time, the hammers he was using to shield himself finally cracking as two pulsating blades of gold and white came near his neck, ready to finish him off at any time.

”...”

Haggard breaths were leaving Xander as his eyes contained great shame at not even being able to withstand this beingʼs attacks. He had heard of the prowess of this Senior Sister, but never did he think it was this overwhelming.

”Winner, Light!”

OOOOOH!!!

The crowd cheered the dominating show by the mystical being made of white light as she took light steps back towards the remaining combatants.

Shockingly, the first round of the Battle of Genius ended with some of the most powerfully known Celestials being kicked out. Two particular beings with noble fates that people expected to at least enter the top 4 were kicked out in the first round, not even making it to the top 16!

Those advancing forward were the two Special Existences, two unlikely beings with Noble Fates known as Crixus and Athena, as well as twelve other genius Celestials.

Grandmaster Onillus wasted no time as he began the second round, the matches continuing on speedily.

In the second round, Noah and Athena did not meet the most powerful Special Existences that many dreaded facing as it would most likely mean the end of their battles in this tournament!

They showed off their skills against Celestials known as Geniuses, many of them ranging above 200,000 Fate Lines as Noah used his transformation after absorbing 12 Empyrean Guards to stand against them, their strikes not even passing through to damage his body that was hidden behind a huge tower shield as he then released attacks with his flail or deadly rays of Aether.

Athena used her unique ability to create a scintillating dance as she controlled the pace of the battles to always wear her opponents down until they faced deadly attacks that cost them the match!

But like this, Noah and Athena passed the second round and entered the top 8 with no issues.

Of course, it was the same case for the two Special Existences, the Three-Eyed Fate Child and Grandmaster Light who both passed through by dominating their enemies in a shocking manner.

The second round was passed in this manner, and whether by chance or fate, it went exactly in the same manner for the third round that decided the top 4 of this Battle of Geniuses!

In the third round, neither Noah nor Athena met the Special Existences, cruising through with their abilities as the both of them showed great battle prowess that overwhelmed their enemies and made them smoothly enter the top 4!

In one of the floating Prime Warsh.i.p.s, Grandmaster Vredral had a beaming smile as he laughed, Commanding Officer Raizel glancing towards him as he shook his head with an unbelievable expression.

”What kind of monsters have you raised that they are able to smoothly pass to the top 4 of all current geniuses of this generation?!”
