In that instant, all of Old Shipyard Port fell silent.
It was as if someone had pressed a pause button on time itself.
The sudden turn shocked everyone present.
No one expected Evan to use a Forbidden Spell.
No one expected him to pierce straight through Zayne's chest with a single strike.
"Evan… won?"
"This is unreal. Is not a Forbidden Spellcaster supposed to be unbeatable at the same level?"
"Zayne was defeated by someone four levels lower?"
"Evan really went all in. He actually used a Forbidden Spell."
Voices overlapped as the crowd erupted in disbelief.
"Omar, you shameless old man."
"To win, you actually taught a Forbidden Spell to a student?"
Norton exploded with rage and rushed toward Omar, ready to fight.
Evan was talented, but with his current strength, he should not have been able to master a Forbidden Spell.
The only explanation was clear.
To win the Old Shipyard Port championship, Omar had sacrificed Evan's future.
