Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: White Valkyrie and Black Sword Shift

As the twins took defensive positions due to the sudden change in Isabella, they launched attacks but before they could land they were all frozen. In a single yet graceful beautiful gesture of the hand, a thin ice colon emerged from the frozen ground and as she grabbed it with her hand it, the excess ice fell off from it creating a small double-edge sword resembling a rapier with a mixed white and blue color.

As she raised her sword, the two brothers in distress tried to escape but to no avail as their legs had been frozen and when they tried to break it was to thick to even make a dent in it. As the blue aura surrounding Isabella covered her sword, she swung it down releasing a massive cold blizzard heading straight for the twins and as it hit them only a giant glacier was formed freezing them both and thus Isabella won her fight.

As the fight ended, her transformation faded away living an exhausted and out-of-breath Isabella. During that time, the battle between Ace and the prince had taken to the skies with the moonlight glowing upon the their duel had a mystical and ethereal air about it. Both of them harbored a smile on their faces.

The prince with his light and fire attributes had achieved mana master-level and also achieved the rare realm of compound magic where one could mix properties of attributes to create new spells. His mastery of the sword combined with his magic made him a foe not to be underestimated.

"Royal Sword Arts: Sun Blade" stated the prince as he unleashed a white fire slash created using compound magic and sword arts and even though Ace managed to evade the attack, he witnessed the damage done on the ground which made him anxious. "He's a real beast. Unlike the giant orc who had high resistance, he has high level magic and swordsmanship. If I'm not careful I'll lose." Thought Ace as he used a technique to create black cross with blades on four sides "Black Shuriken" he stated as he throwed it at the prince.

"If that's the best you've got don't hope to defeat me, Royal Sword Arts: Lion's Roar" stated the prince as he unleashed a sword stab covered with light magic possessing high mana output which obliterated Ace's attack and hitting him directly. As he crashed on the ground, he was covered in black sphere which protected him but he still suffered minor injuries. "Yep no way I can beat him by normal means. His attacks are precise and sharp while his magic has high mana output and are destructive. In both the sword and magic he surpasses." Monologued Ace as he thinks on the situation.

"Well he's just like me, he's a spellblade making the optimal use of magic and sword. If it's like that then I have no other choice but to get stronger. I'll create a blade capable of reaching him." Thought Ace with a smirk on his face while the prince charges at him with relentless attacks. As they clash dashing on the battlefield, Ace tries to think of a way to get a clean hit on the prince. "Think, what can I do to get him which sword can reach?, which magic?,which?,which?" As Ace is taken in reflexion a sudden idea comes to mind "Wait may be overdrive but I need it to reach magic, sword, magic, sword, magic and sword, a magic sword, yes a magic sword is the key." Having found an idea, he creates a smoke screen to put in distance between them.

"Breathe, think of all your battles, against Ryu, Chris, The Giant Orc. Think about them remember the feeling of your mana boiling up in your body flowing endless, feel your breath, your sweat, your blood, your sword in your hands, feel everything from within and your surroundings. Every cell in your body absorbing and blending in with mana." As Ace concentrated deeper and deeper, the dust cleared and the prince rushed to attack him.

As his sword was about to strike a sudden outburst of mana was released from Ace's body, his sword being covered in black and fading. The darkness surrounding blended in with his clothes and as the black fog rounded up around his body he took but a single step and with it a sudden black hazy mass pushed the prince back with a single strike. "How did you like it, future king this is my blade."

Ace covered in darkness forming a combat suit had a blade embedded in his hand also pure black. "I see you decided to go with a magic sword to defeat me. Then I suppose I have to respond in kind. Magic Sword: Azrael" stated the prince with a sword made of white flames appeared in his hand while dropping the iron blade.

"Hmm I see then that means we win." Thought Ace as he engaged the prince in a final attack clash. "Lets go, future king!" said Ace as both unleashed their mightiest attack. With a sweep of the sword creating waves of white flames the prince unleashed "Heavenly Infernal Blade" while Ace with a downward slash he unleashed "Overdrive: Shadow Arcane, Tatsu Ryuugetsu" as the two attacks clashed, a giant energy blast was unleashed. "Dammit I lost…." said Ace laying on the ground while the prince was heavily injured still standing. "...but…" as the fight ended to everyone believed it was the prince's win but "Ladies and Gentlemen, this year's Interclass Team Competition is won by the first year's Class 1's Team." Announced the commentator.
