Clang Clang Clang!
The sound of the two types of metal colliding with each other was so violent that it could be heard throughout the entire area of this thought space. Mariel's speed was almost incomparable to Derens, who had experienced more battles. The more the two sides fought, the more Derens felt fear because in front of her was a schoolgirl who wasn't even 18 years old yet, but her skills and Qi were comparable to those of swordsmen with a high level of ability.
"Why you are only a female student and have such power like this?" Derens said curiously as she fought against Mariel.
"Because I was taught well from my family!" Mariel replied.
"Is your house a breeding ground for this? " Derens asked.
"I'm not an animal!" Mariel replied angrily.
"I'm just asking, why do you shout like that?" Derens said.
"This is a disrespectful question!" Mariel responded immediately.
Mariel cast her dark magic and slammed her sword power into Derens' claws so hard that the opponent could only defend and was unable to fight back.
"Normally, apart from the school that Chaos attends, there shouldn't be any school that teaches dark magic. It's suspicious.." Derens questioned in her mind.
Scorching!
Mariel slammed such power that Derens was thrown quite a distance, but she sped up, rushed towards her and used several swords moves continuously without stopping.
"I got you!" Mariel adjusted her magic power to ice magic and slammed it into Derens' chest with full force. This caused Derens to receive a serious wound in the middle of her chest until she had to spit out blood.
Suddenly.... blood flowing out of the mouth without stopping and the body feeling so cold that it was almost numb all over. Derens was unable to respond for a moment and she could only use magic power to heal the large wound in her chest.
"I won't allow you to heal yourself!" Marielle cast a storm of wind magic and swept Derens' body off the ground. She soared above her opponent and used her ultimate skills once again.
Mariel and the two clones slammed the power of their fire magic swords into Derens in three directions, causing her to be seriously injured until she fell to the ground with blood flowing from her body all over this place.
Derens still hasn't recovered from this series of attacks. Blood continued to flow from her nose and mouth but in her eyes that stared at Mariel who was standing in front of her was filled with anger because she couldn't imagine that she would lose to a female student so easily.
"Look at you! Where all those insult words came from just a moment ago?" Marielle asked in a disdainful voice.
But... Derens laughed. Her voice was so frightening that Mariel almost felt shivers up her spine. Derens slowly lifted herself up again.
"Alright, second round is ready!" Derens said while dark magic appeared around her.
"Be careful, Mariel. This is the real one!" Magmatrion said into Mariel's mind, but she still stood with a smile.
"I can handle it. Lord Magmatrion." Mariel answered with confidence.
Ya!!!!
Derens roared loudly throughout the area. Her body almost doubled in size. A mass of enormous energy swirled around her, along with a vicious aura that looked at Mariel like a hungry predator and smelled blood in front of her.
"You are causing me to use my true form to defeat you!" Derens said.
"You really talk too much. If you have something good, hurry up and show it to me. It's a waste my time." Mariel said with a bored expression.
Derens is very angry now. Instead, she ran at Mariel with such speed that the other was shocked by what was happening. Sharp claws filled with dark magic power slammed into Mariel's body until she had to quickly cast a magic shield to reduce the injury from Derens.
"Now it's my turn!" Derens said with satisfaction.
Mariel didn't fight back but she still used the sword to protect against her body attacks. Her arms and legs were clawed and received several serious wounds.
Scorching!!!!!!!!
Derens's eyes widened in shock because while she was using claws to take down Mariel, she suddenly used the Dragon Slayer Sword to attack the water magic power back in full power. This caused Derens to stumble back several steps, and her internal organs were quite seriously injured.
"You can still fight back. Ouch." Derens said, coughing up blood.
"Do you think I'm going to lose this easily ? Never!" Mariel spoke and turned her energy to the max.
Above Mariel appeared the figure of an enormous fire dragon with red, angry eyes.
"Finally, I could come out. My rate is too high!" Magmatrion said out loud.
"Make it tough, Lord Magmatrion!" Mariel said as she charged at Derens.
Scorching!!!!!!
Derens, who was seriously injured, got hit by Mariel who combined her powers with the Fire Dragon Magmatrion and blasted two powers into her body. As a result, the inner pulse almost shattered and the dark magic began to spiral out of control. This caused many points to rupture from the body until it was too much to control her own magic power.
*Scream*
Derens cried out in pain because her body was severely damaged, and it caused the power to injure her own body.
"If it weren't for the fact that I had been seriously injured when you fought Chaos, this would not have happened." Derens said with a look of anger.
The Fire Dragon Magmatrion hit Derens' left shoulder, causing blood to flow out non-stop. Mariel used the Dragon Slayer Sword to slash Derens' chest, causing a large wound.
"No! I can't stand it anymore!" Derens said as she quickly transformed into a black liquid parasite and immediately shot up above this space. As for Mariel, she could only stand and watch from below with a look of frustration that she couldn't completely deal with.
Ah!!!!!
Mariel, who was trembling on the sick bed, suddenly cried out in pain. My eyes widened. The chest looked like something was moving up to the throat.
"Eli! Devil Sealing Glass Bottle now!" Hector ordered his assistant immediately after seeing something unusual coming out from Mariel mouth.
"Understood!" Elizabeth said, immediately casting out a Crystal Sealing Glass in her hand.
Suddenly!!!!!
Mariel opened her mouth wide and spat out something like a black liquid towards the ceiling and it looked like Derens was struggling to escape from this area as quickly as possible.
Scorching!!!!
Hector hurriedly shot a magic spell, blocking the black liquid so that it could not move any further.
"You have nowhere to escape!" Hector said, using his magic to force the black liquid into the devil seal: Crystal Sealing Glass in Elizabeth's hand. Then immediately sealed it with advanced magic.
Inside the Crystal Sealing Glass, the black liquid struggled to find its way out, but it could only linger inside until there was no way to escape.
"Mariel! Are you ok?" Claudia said after seeing Mariel's reaction as she regained consciousness.
Marielle slowly opened her eyes. The sweat that coated her body was a sign of the battle that she had just finished through in her own inner space. Her eyes visibly changed, and she stared intently at the devil seal: Crystal Sealing Glass in Elizabeth's hand that contained the black liquid.
"Is this something lurks inside my body?" Mariel said.
"That's right. I didn't expect there would be such a way. A demon that shrinks its own body into a black liquid and grows inside a human body. Then they control and direct it from within to achieve their own objectives." Hector said.
"We never seen anything like this happen during our time." Deric said with doubt.
"Times have changed, Deric. As high technology grows, so do more ingenious methods too. I don't think that this demon dares to infiltrate the Triwizard Tournament this time." Hector said with a worried expression on his face.
"They come to the competition because they want to get rid of me." Mariel said.
Everyone looked at Mariel in shock.
"Why are the demons targeting Mariel like this?" Senior Jack asked curiously.
Mariel told everyone everything she had heard from Derens. The expressions on Deric, Claudia, Hector, and Elizabeth's eyes were quite worried.
"No way! I have heard that this school also teaches dark magic because they want students to learn different ways of fighting, but I didn't expect it to contain such evil things." Hector said.
"If the committee is involved in this matter, It must be dealt with decisively or should we inform the city council?" Elizabeth offered a solution.
"Don't do it yet. It will make the others aware of each other. We must plan carefully to finish this all at once." Hector said.
"But it's incredible. Even our high magic used to check each other's status have not encountered these abnormalities." Elizabeth said in surprise.
"It must be something beyond magic that can be detected. Well, from now on we must work even harder before it's too late," Hector said, preparing to go back to his big plan.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. The group of people who opened the door turned out to be the committee for the Triwizard Tournament. Hector hurriedly let Elizabeth put away the devil seal Crystal Sealing Glass before the others could see.
"Have you recovered yet? Mariel." the committee leader asked with concern.
"Yes, I am. Thank you very much." Mariel replied.
"From the result, The committee of all sides resolved that Mariel De Stella and Chaos had broken the rules regarding violence that was beyond the limits of a competitive sport for the unity of the four schools. Next year, two of you will no longer be able to compete and for this vacant position, we will recruit the new winner again. We apologize." the head of the committee concluded.
"Even though the side that started first was Chaos and why did Mariel have to be punished?" Beatrix said in dissatisfaction.
"That is, if Mariel doesn't fight back like that then what if something more serious happens." Mania said.
"Doing this is unfair. They fought for victory. Are you going to disqualify them easily like this?" Jerrick said angrily.
But Mariel suddenly raised her hand, begging everyone to stop talking.
"Ok. I admit that I did it too much violence. And is Chaos feeling better yet?" Mariel accepted the decision and inquired about her opponent's condition.
"He's fine now. He has now been sent back to his school to recuperate." another deputy committee member replied.
"Thank you very much." Mariel said, bowing to the committee before they all talked with the Hectors, then they all went back.
"Even though this rule really exists, it is very unfair to you. We should tell them what happened to our daughter." Deric said with dissatisfaction.
"Don't do it yet. It's going to be a serious issue. We'd better deal with it all at once." Hector said, dissuading everyone to calm down.
"Principal Hector." Mariel raised her head and asked with a serious expression.
"What is it, Mariel?" Hector replied.
"If you plans to visit into this school. May I join in?" Mariel asked in a firm voice.
"It's dangerous, my dear." Claudia quickly rebuked.
"It's better to let the elders handle this themselves, Mariel." Deric said.
"What they did to me is too serious to forgive them. They nearly took my life. Therefore, this revenge must be settled!" Mariel said angrily. Those red eyes instantly made many people feel a terrifying atmosphere.
Hector stared into Mariel's eyes and realized something was inside. A smile slowly appeared at his mouth.
"Yes, you will definitely join my team, Mariel. When the time comes." Hector said.
"But it is too dangerous, Principal Hector. We don't know if there are many demons lurking in that school." Claudia begged Hector to change his mind.
"Don't be afraid, Claudia. In front of me and Elizabeth, Mariel will not be harmed. I promise." Hector said.
"I got more burden again." Elizabeth shook her head tiredly.
"No, you're really good at that, Lol." Hector said that Elizabeth caught on him.
"I will definitely not be a burden to you." Mariel assuredly promised.
"From now on, I will take time off to personally train you. So, prepare yourself." Elizabeth said with a serious look on her face.
"Alright, Elizabeth and I must excuse ourselves because we need to hurry back and consult with the other professors about this plan." Hector said.
Hector and Elizabeth said farewell to everyone and immediately excused themselves. Deric, Claudia and the other friends talked with Mariel about many things until they were released from the hospital that evening.
"Mom and Dad dropped you off in front of the school. If there's something urgent, let Mom and Dad know right away, do you understand?" Deric said.
"Don't do anything to make me worry, my dear." Claudia said with a concerned look on her face.
"Yes, I promised." Mariel said.
They all hugged each other for goodbye. Mariel walked ahead of Beatrix, Mania and the others to the girls' dormitory.
"You can always tell me if there's something happen." Jerrick said with concern.
"When you miss me, I can always come and I'll give you a hug." Senior Jack said.
"You can always tell me if there's something happen to you." Senior Ken said with concern.
"Thank you for your all concern, everyone but I'm fine." Mariel said, bowing to everyone and slowly walking up to the dormitory with the other girls.
Beatrix looked at Mariel, who was acting strangely, and was slightly suspicious.
"You look different, Mariel, is there something on your mind?" Beatrix asked curiously.
"My goals have to be more serious." Mariel replied with a solemn expression.
"Kill all of the demons?" Mania replied.
"Yes..and it must be eradicated from this world!" Mariel answered in a firm voice.
The sounds of the three girls' stomachs rumbling sounded almost at the same time.
"By the way, let's have something to eat first. How's about steak?" Mariel asked her friends.
"Agreed!" Beatrix said.
"I would like a big one with a fried egg, please." Mania replied with a smile.
Then they changed their clothes and went into the kitchen to cook dinner together. Before reviewing the textbook to Mariel who missed class for 3 days in a row and they slept from exhaustion at night.
