"You are Shadow? It's about time we settled things with your Shadow Garden! Don't think you're so great just because you killed some weaklings!"
Fenrir drew his sword and pointed it at Lord Shadow.
"Suzuki is actually Shadow in disguise!" Christina thought to herself.
She had also heard about Lord Shadow, a fellow who caused a huge commotion at the Martial Heart Festival, known as Diabolos the Demon.
She had witnessed the magic power that covered the entire capital that day.
"No wonder Suzuki was so abnormal; turns out he wasn't Suzuki at all, but Shadow!"
Viscount Olba saw Fenrir focus his attention on Lord Shadow.
He suddenly attacked Claire.
Claire blocked the attack in time.
But Milia assisted Olba from the side.
Under their combined attacks, Claire was successfully knocked unconscious.
Alexia merely watched their actions at this moment, with no intention of attacking.
Alexia knew Student Xi Nuo's strength.
"Would Milia truly betray Student Xi Nuo?"
Alexia knew Milia well and didn't think she would betray Student Xi Nuo.
There was only one answer: everything she did was under Student Xi Nuo's orders.
Student Xi Nuo was playing chess, and Alexia, herself, and everyone else were merely pawns.
Milia picked up the unconscious Claire.
And walked towards the deepest part of the Sanctuary.
"Lord Olba, where are you going?" Isaac asked.
"To use Claire to unseal diabolos's right arm! To awaken the consciousness of Diabolos the Demon!" Viscount Olba said.
"How could she alone achieve what The Order couldn't do for so many years!" Isaac asked.
"Because you simply don't know what happened to her!"
"Claire was bitten by the Vampire Progenitor Elizabeth in the Lawless City; Elizabeth's blood entered Claire's body, and Claire is also a Demon Possession victim."
"Her unique constitution successfully accommodated both Demon Possession and the Vampire Progenitor's blood; the two combined to awaken the consciousness of Diabolos the Demon!"
"Do you see the strange mark on her right arm? That is the mark of Calamity Witch Aurora!"
Isaac followed Viscount Olba; he also wanted to see how Viscount Olba would unseal diabolos.
Aurora's phantom looked at Viscount Olba in surprise.
She couldn't understand why this fellow knew so much.
Logically, only those old-timers from The Order would know what the mark on Claire's arm meant.
Of course, none of this was discovered by Olba, but by Zeta.
She discovered this but did not inform Alpha, instead keeping the secret hidden and instructing Olba to do such a thing.
Nina, as Claire's best friend, closely monitored Claire and also knew what had happened to Claire.
Senior Nina had been lowering her presence all this time.
At this moment, she still stood silently behind everyone.
"Shadow, you're hiding as a student because you're afraid of me, aren't you? Today, I'll show you the strength of a Magic Swordsman at the pinnacle!"
Fenrir said proudly.
"Afraid of you? I fear no one! The pinnacle of Magic Swordsmen? You are not worthy!"
Fenrir stopped his verbal taunts.
The crimson bloodfang left an afterimage in place.
In the blink of an eye, Fenrir appeared before Lord Shadow.
A lightning-fast attack slashed at Lord Shadow.
Lord Shadow dodged, but a wound was still left on his chest.
However, it only damaged Lord Shadow's clothes and did not harm Lord Shadow's physical body.
"All talk and no real strength, huh! I thought you might at least excite me a little!" Fenrir said.
He felt that if he could cut him once, he could cut him a second time.
The Lord Shadow in front of him vanished directly.
Fenrir suddenly turned to look behind him.
But he was still half a beat too slow.
Lord Shadow's sword cut a wound on his chest.
And Lord Shadow's clothes had already been restored.
His clothes were made entirely of magic slime, and only a little magic power was needed to restore them.
From the outside, Lord Shadow appeared as if he had never been hit.
"Hahaha! Interesting, how long has it been since I encountered such a strong opponent!"
"Shadow, you truly surprise me! I hope you can last a little longer!"
Fenrir's appearance changed, transforming into an aged old man.
At this moment, his aura also changed, with terrifying killing intent raging.
Christina felt her breathing become difficult at this moment.
She glanced at Student Xi Nuo.
Student Xi Nuo watched the battle as if nothing was happening.
Alexia's current state was also not very good; the killing intent made her feel fear.
She couldn't even see the speed of the two with her eyes.
Continuing to watch would not be a good thing; the unconscious ripples from their battle could cause her fatal harm.
Alexia noticed Christina's condition and picked her up, temporarily leaving the area.
At this moment, she noticed Senior Nina, Claire's best friend; she had been lowering her presence all along, and Alexia had almost forgotten her.
At this moment, she just stood there, seemingly unaffected by that terrifying killing intent.
Alexia looked at Nina's collar; the numbers on it were the same as when she first met Nina.
She also guessed something: this Senior Nina, Claire's best friend, was also not ordinary.
"I still need to work harder!" Alexia took Christina and temporarily left the center of the battle.
She walked towards Viscount Olba.
Isaac had just followed Viscount Olba as well.
Alexia still wanted to see what Viscount Olba was going to do.
After leaving the center of the battle, Christina felt much better and stood up on her own.
After walking for a while, Milia blocked their path.
"Alexia, what happens next is not something you should know!"
"Why not? Why can't I know!"
"Because your strength isn't enough; only if you defeat me will you be qualified to know all of this!"
"So you already know everything, do you?" Alexia asked.
"Not at all, I only act on orders. What I should know, that esteemed adult will naturally tell me; what I shouldn't know, I won't ask!"
Alexia fell silent.
"Alright, you win, but remember, one day I'll pin you to the ground and spank your butt!" Alexia said fiercely, then turned to leave.
Christina felt that these two were a bit strange; shouldn't they be enemies?
They had just fought a battle.
Now, it sounded as if they had buried the hatchet, and their relationship seemed quite intimate.
As Alexia was about to leave, Milia blocked her again.
"Can't I even leave?" Alexia said arrogantly.
Milia didn't speak and directly launched an attack.
Alexia was forced to resist.
The two battled, and Christina retreated several steps.
She couldn't keep up with their speed at all and could only watch.
The result was the same as last time: Alexia was defeated.
At this moment, Milia harshly slapped Alexia's butt.
"You want to spank my butt? Then I'll spank yours first!"
Watching the scene unfold, Christina felt that Alexia's dignity as a princess and Student Council president was completely gone.
That decisive and authoritative princess, who held great prestige in the Student Council, was now being severely spanked by someone.
Soon, Alexia began to beg for mercy.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please stop, Christina is watching! My authority as a princess is completely gone!"
Milia lectured Alexia for a bit and then stopped.
Then she walked towards the depths of the Sanctuary, ignoring Alexia.
Alexia tidied her clothes and looked at Christina.
"You'd best keep what just happened a secret, or I'll spank your butt in front of the entire school faculty and students!"
Alexia said, looking at Christina with cold eyes.
"What just happened? I don't know, I don't know!"
Seeing Christina's feigned ignorance, Alexia didn't say anything more.
Alexia took Christina back to where Fenrir and Lord Shadow were fighting, but they stood far away, watching the battle from a distance.
"Princess Alexia, Senior Nina, and Student Xi Nuo, aren't you going to intervene?" Christina asked.
"I'd like to, but I don't have the strength!"
"Your strength is clearly so great!"
"Great? I don't feel it; facing that Fenrir, I'd probably be killed by him if I wasn't careful!"
The terrifying killing intent that Fenrir had just unleashed sent shivers down Alexia's spine.
She knew that such killing intent could only be formed by killing many people, and the source of the killing intent was not Fenrir, but his blood-red magic sword.
Student Xi Nuo took out a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and munched on them while watching the two fight.
It was clear that Lord Shadow was holding back again.
Although Fenrir was strong, his strength was definitely not as great as that Demon Lord from Oriana.
Lord Shadow could easily kill that Demon Lord, yet he was fighting Fenrir to a stalemate.
He was completely holding back.
And for Student Xi Nuo, a evenly matched battle was always the best to watch.
