ONLINE: Blades of Eternity

Chapter 52 A DECISIVE WIN

"Greetings Venerable, I didn't know you will give us the privilege to grace us with your presence" Sylvester quickly said as he performed a slight bow while facing the Dark Saint along with the two internal students behind him. But the Dark Saint simply ignored them as he looked right into the eyes of Kelvin.

"Why are you doing this?" And not long after that, he suddenly asked Kelvin in a deep and solemn voice. But Kelvin refused to back down now as he stood upright and answered with a resolute expression on his face.

"Because I love my sister"

"His sister?"

"He has a sister?"

"Why haven't I seen his sister before?"

"Did something happened to her inwhich senior Carolina knows about?"

'His sister?' Kaelen thought in a confused state before he turned to look at Morris. And what he saw is Morris having calm smirk on his face.

"You know something" Kaelen quickly said with an assured look on his face. And right after, Morris replied with the same expression on his face.

"Yeah I do, but I will tell you later. I don't want to get unwanted attention"

"Ok then" Kaelen replied as he shifted his attention towards he stage.

'His sister?' Back on the stage, Carolina thought with a stunned look on her face. But not long after, her expression drastically changed.

When the Dark Saint heard what Kelvin said, he couldn't help but let out a helpless sigh as he asked in much lower voice.

"Is there any way I can actually make you to give up in this your determined resolve to find out what happened to your sister?"

"Am sorry father but apart from actually telling me what happened to her, there isn't any other way for me to give up on her" Kelvin answered quickly with the same expression on his face. When the Dark Saint saw this, he sighed helplessly before he turned his gaze towards Sylvester and said.

"Sylvester, seems like I will let you handle things here. My presence is no longer needed"

And in an instance, he spontaneously vanished from where he is in the air. As soon as he left, Sylvester quickly shifted his gaze towards Kelvin and spoke up in a bland tone.

"Since you want to seek your death so badly, I won't stop you. Carolina, accept the duel"

"Begin!" Sylvester suddenly exclaimed before he stepped back and stood at the edge of the stage.

A hush fell over the crowd as the signal to begin was given. Carolina was quick to act, her scepter glowing with a soft green light. The ground beneath Kelvin erupted with a burst of thick vines, shooting up to ensnare him. Kelvin, however, didn't move, his expression unchanged as the vines wrapped around him. With a chilling smile, he allowed the tendrils to draw closer before he finally acted.

Swish!!

Bang!!

With a flick of his wrist, Kelvin's scythe slashed through the air, emitting a dark, ethereal energy that sliced through the vines as if they were paper. The severed tendrils shriveled and fell to the ground, blackened and lifeless. Carolina's eyes widened at the sight, but she wasn't deterred. She raised her scepter again, and the arena responded.

From the earth burst forth a towering tree, its branches reaching out like massive arms, aiming to crush Kelvin.

Kelvin remained unfazed, his focus sharp as he sidestepped the tree's attack with fluid ease. His scythe whirled in his hands, deflecting another branch as it came crashing down. The chaos orb within him pulsed, feeding his movements with unnatural speed and precision. He could feel the dark energy coursing through him, guiding his every action.

Carolina's expression grew tense as she realized her opponent's strength. She channeled more of her magic into the tree, causing it to swell with even greater power. But Kelvin was already on the move. With a powerful leap, he launched himself into the air, his scythe raised high. The crowd gasped as he descended like a shadow, bringing the scythe down in a devastating arc.

Bang!!!!

The blade of his scythe met the tree with a thunderous impact, slicing through it with a burst of dark energy. The tree groaned as it split in two, crashing to the ground with a resounding thud. Carolina staggered back, her scepter dimming as the magical connection to the tree was severed.

Kelvin landed lightly on his feet, his scythe still crackling with the remnants of the dark energy. He didn't give Carolina a moment to recover. With a swift motion, he advanced on her, his scythe moving in a blur. Carolina barely had time to raise her scepter in defense, summoning a shield of thorny vines. But it was too late.

Kelvin's scythe tore through her defenses, the dark energy overwhelming her magic.

Badump!

Badump!!

Boom!!

"Argh!!"

The chaos orb within Kelvin pulsed again, stronger this time, as if sensing victory. He could feel its power rising, urging him to end the fight. With a final, powerful swing, Kelvin's scythe cut through Carolina's shield and struck her down. She cried out as the force of the blow sent her sprawling across the stage and out, her scepter clattering to the ground beside her.

"Winner: Kelvin Bowel" As soon as Carolina went off the stage, Sylvester announced with a shocked look on his face.
