The senior from the Sacred Light Empire appeared in the arena and went to release Clarion from the ice. His hand glowed as a small flame appeared, hotter than most flames.
However, as he tried to melt the ice quickly, he was surprised to find it resistant. The ice seemed more like a diamond than a water-frozen solid. This shocked him, as he had never encountered such a strong ice life force in his life.
Apollo didn't linger in the arena, heading off to rest as the battle had taken its toll. It hadn't been as easy as his previous matches; he had given it his all.
Among the crowd, whether they were fellow geniuses or seasoned warriors, all eyes were on Apollo with newfound interest. In this battle, he demonstrated his understanding of the Law of Ice, a feat that only the best geniuses in the world could achieve. This solidified his place among the absolute elite.
