　In this intense battle between high-star magical spirits, Eluri actually gained the upper hand with a relatively obvious advantage.

　To Dark's surprise, the duel was decided by direct confrontation.

　Leonard Page's defense was brutally breached by the Fairy Queen! When the referee announced Eluri Clarissa as the winner, Dark couldn't help but applaud.

　Eluri won a very exciting victory in this clash of titans.

　After their victory, the score between St. Mary's Academy and the Holy Mystic Academy became 3-1.

　Even without relying on Pandora Drogon, the senior students of St. Marian Academy had already obtained the right to "+1".

　With the end of this duel, the supporters of the Holy Mystic Academy completely fell silent.

　Since the start of the competition, the senior students of St. Mary's Academy have won three duels. All three duels were genuine and fair, leaving the spectators in awe.

　This duel truly demonstrated the gap between the two academies in terms of their top-level skills.

　Meanwhile, the senior students of the Holy Church Mystic Ritual Academy were finally driven to the brink of despair.

　They have completely lost any room for error; they must win every duel from now on!

　Under these circumstances, Saint Zachary Lancelot, the "Judgment Knight," finally lost his temper and made a personal appearance.

　Meanwhile, St. Marian's College proceeded as planned, sending in Shrek Holmes.

　Shrek Holmes is the current president of the "Sports Club"—although he, like senior Inya Knight, is actively looking for a successor, he is still the president at present.

　When Shrek discovered that his opponent was actually the captain of the Holy Mystic Academy, a fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

　Although he is actually a thoughtful person, he is also unambiguous when it comes to being passionate.

　A formidable opponent only excites him more.

　The "Judgment Knight" ranks first among the twelve Knights of the Round Table and is the contemporary leader of the Holy Mystic Academy.

　He was tall and handsome, embodying the "spirit of the paladin" both in appearance and in spirit, a model figure who seemed to have stepped out of a book.

　Many paladin students within the Holy Mystic Academy idolize him.

　Saint Zachary Lancelot never disappoints his supporters, doing almost everything perfectly.

　But naturally, maintaining such a "perfect superman" persona is not easy.

　Saint Zachariah would also show deep weariness in the dead of night. But he had been baptized as a paladin since childhood, and the core belief of him was "to fight for others".

　So no matter how hard or tiring it is, I will always take the lead.

　In this year's Academy Championship, the team led by the Holy Mystic Academy was the Archbishop and another academy professor. However, Galenoris didn't actually manage the team much; most of the time, he and the other professor advised and decided on the team's arrangements.

　He held extremely high prestige within the group, even surpassing that of the "Holy Son" and "Holy Daughter".

　In this round of competition, his goal is undoubtedly to take first place. Any opponent who stands in his way to victory will be cut down by his sword!

　However, the Holy Church Mystic Academy found itself in its most difficult situation as soon as the second round of the senior group competition began.

　This was completely unexpected.

　However, he drew the number himself, so he has to bear the consequences of the result.

　When deciding to fight in the fifth duel, Saint Zachariah Lyranslot was to face Pandora and Drogon.

　However, they misjudged the situation; Pandora did not choose to personally end the match in this fifth duel.

　Thus, Saint Zachariah once again had to bear the consequences of his misjudgment. As he stepped onto the dueling arena, he couldn't help but feel anxious. This anxiety didn't stem from his current opponent, but from the opponent who hadn't yet entered the arena.

　Calculated based on the score.

　Even if he wins this duel, the Holy Mystic Academy will immediately lose if the next contestant from the Holy Mystic Academy cannot defeat Pandora Drogon.

　It wasn't that he lacked confidence in his companions, but rather that the difference in strength was undeniable.

　"We have no choice but to trust them!"

　But no matter how anxious he became, he couldn't change the existing facts. Saint Zachary took a deep breath, his eyes hardening once more. Then, at the very beginning of the duel, he summoned the [Lakelight Holy Sword] with the "Holy Sword Spell"!

　"The Holy Sword, the Holy Sword has appeared again!"

　"I feel like the frequency of holy swords appearing lately is a bit too high." "Witt, what do you think?"

　"I don't want to watch it, I ... just won't watch it!"

　When Vitgot saw the "Holy Sword" summoned by Saint Zachary, he also took a deep breath.

　Calling it the "Holy Sword" is actually incorrect. What has been appearing too frequently lately is actually people who possess the "Heroic Qualification".

　Speaking solely of the "Holy Sword," the Holy Church Mystic Academy has the "Sword in the Stone Trial," from which potential heroes with the aptitude of a hero can easily obtain the "Holy Sword."

　But the problem is, there are just too many potential heroes!

　"Is this a period of explosive growth for heroes?"

　Vitt's mind was filled with incoherent thoughts. Another reason for his anxiety was that he could clearly sense that the "Lake Light Holy Sword" summoned by Saint Zachary Lancelot was even stronger than his own "Greatsword of Light, Zoffy"!

　This made him very unwilling.

　"Who is the true hero?!" he couldn't help but roar in his heart. But even though he was outside the arena, he could still roar out loud.

　Shrek Holmes, though present, found it difficult to smile. The "Judgment Knight" possessed extremely high magical abilities and was also exceptionally strong in combat.

　Shrek was barely able to keep up with Saint Zachary's fighting pace. Although there was a gap in their magical abilities, they were not so easily suppressed.

　However, the "Lake Light Holy Sword" elevated Saint Zachary's individual power to a level that Shrek could hardly match.

　Even though Shrek equipped himself with "armor cards" for this purpose, they were easily cut off by the sword light, which was as smooth as the surface of a lake.

　This duel was unequal from the start. There was a significant gap in strength between the two sides.

　However, after realizing the gap, Shrek became even more excited.

　There was even a faint red light in his eyes, showing signs of "going berserk".

　However, reason restrained emotion, and Shrek's "excitement" and "frenzy" were always controlled by "reason".

　He didn't "go berserk," he just attacked more frequently. His unwavering belief is that even in defeat, one should lose with dignity!

　The duel is over.

　Saint Zachariah Lylanslot, the "Rule Knight," ultimately triumphed, but it was no easy victory.

　He stood in the middle of the field, sweat pouring down his face, his hands aching and numb, staring intently at the "cemetery" area.

　Shrek, reborn from the "graveyard," was excited and happy, showing no sign of frustration even after losing.

　"Cool!"

　Shrek waved to Saint Zachary and then gracefully left the dueling arena.

　Saint Zachary actually wanted to say something like, "You are a very good opponent," but the circumstances didn't allow it.

　As soon as the battle ended, he couldn't help but start to get anxious about the next duel.

　So much so that when he was invited to the stage for an interview, he appeared extremely perfunctory.

　This is very rare in his past behavior.

　It can only be said that, deep down, he also considered this match extremely important.

　The contestants' platform.

　Pandora had already begun warming up once it was confirmed that Shrek was no match for Saint Zachary.

　She actually has two choices now.

　One option is to give the substitute players a chance to shine, allowing one of them to duel with the sixth member of the Holy Mystic Academy.

　Once the substitute loses, she will be able to duel with Saint Zaga Lilanthlot.

　Secondly, she went straight into the ring, dueled against an uninteresting opponent, and ended the match directly.

　But she didn't even consider the first option.

　Perhaps in her eyes, Saint Zachary Lancelot was not much different from the other Knights of the Round Table.

　The sixth duel.

　St. Marian Academy naturally sent Pandora Drogon, while the Holy Mystic Academy sent the "Eternal Knight" Matthew Hygard.

　Although Matthew Highgard is in sixth grade, he still looks like a teenager with a very pure appearance and is not tall.

　He was also a paladin who studied both, but he attended the Academy of the Holy Sons. Among the twelve Knights of the Round Table, Matthew Hygard was not weak; in fact, he ranked very high, second only to Saint Zachary.

　But historically, first and second place are completely different levels. The runner-up trophy only deserves to lie in the airport trash can.

　There is still a certain gap in strength between Matthew Hygard and Saint Zaga Lyranslot.

　This gap widened even further when facing the captain of St. Marian Academy!

　The duel began and ended amidst cheers. The audience didn't even remember what Matthew did during the duel; all they could think about were the countless white dragons flying through the air.

　The result is no suspense.

　Pandora Drogon has won, securing the final victory point for St. Marian's Academy!

　"Senior is as neat and efficient as ever." Dark smiled slightly and patted her lightly.

　The second match of the day has concluded. St. Mary's Academy has successfully advanced.

　The Holy Church Mystic Academy, on the other hand, exited with a score of zero.

　After watching the winner's interview and post-match analysis, the audience members reluctantly got up and left, heading towards the cafeteria.

　Inside a hidden box at the Royal Capital Duel Hall, Pope Sith's face was extremely grim. The worst-case scenario had finally occurred.

Chapter 1268 Darkdemon and the Ultimate Summoning (4k)

　"What a pity, what a pity, we were just a little short of going one step further," the old king said, barely suppressing a laugh, his voice filled with regret.

　Before the competition started, he never imagined that the Royal Academy would go further than the Holy Church Mystic Academy.

　But life is unpredictable, and that's often the case.

　He hadn't had such a happy day in a long time. "The Holy Church Mystic Academy is still very impressive."

　As she was talking, Austin suddenly added another sentence.

　His Holiness the Pope couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly stood up... but calmed down before storming off.

　He paused for a moment, then saw that Alvette had also stood up. "It's lunchtime," Alvette said casually. King Austin also rose, saying, "Let's go. I've called the court chefs." At this moment, however, they seemed like old friends who had known each other for years, not rivals vying for power.

　...

　Inside St. Marian College.

　Students and professors also went to the cafeteria or Traveler's Street in small groups to eat.

　At this point, the younger contestants are just like ordinary spectators; they don't need to rush to prepare for the upcoming matches.

　Dark and the others chatted about the competition in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying the cheerful mood around them.

　"At times like this, I always think that being a spectator is definitely much easier than being a contestant."

　"Then you won't be in the next class." "Wait, no!"

　"Haha, which side do you think is better now?"

　The group arrived at the cafeteria, enjoying the food and joking with each other; time passed quickly.

　As afternoon approached, the audience returned to the duel arena, waiting for the afternoon session to begin.

　The two matches this morning were truly spectacular and unforgettable.

　However, eating too much rich food at once is indeed difficult to digest. After a whole noon, the audience had barely managed to free up some of their brains to process the information from the two afternoon matches.

　This is slightly different from the two matches this morning whose results could be predicted in advance—regardless of whether the predictions were right or wrong.

　Both afternoon matches were evenly matched, a situation that was difficult to predict.

　"It's finally about to begin! Sky Magic Academy versus Ocean Magic Academy!"

　Dark reopened the window of the players' lounge and watched with slight excitement as the players from both sides entered the arena one after another through the players' tunnel.

　Sky Magic Academy and Ocean Magic Academy were originally the most mysterious and unique academies in this year's Academy Championship.

　Even though the mystery surrounding those two academies has been partially unveiled after last week's lower-grade group competition, much more remains shrouded in secrecy.

　In particular, at the Sky Magic Academy, there are no students in the lower grades who are proficient in "Accelerated Summoning".
