564: The End Of A Bout.

The Grand Arena erupted in cheers as Cassandra closed the distance to Damien, wasting no time in thrusting her halberd towards him.

The fans of the Bloodline Academy gasped in Shock as the halberd swiftly closed the gap between them, resembling a bolt of lightning, as it shot forth with bright light.

“Puchi!” The halberd made contact with Damien, but the scene that the Holy Grail Academy fans had been hoping for did not occur.

Instead, Damien’s body scattered into tiny bats, which flew away and reconvened on the other side of the arena.

There, Damien’s body reconstructed itself, but this time he wielded a unique-looking blood red spear.

The spear, approximately six feet in length, appeared to be crafted from a dark, dense wood.

It was polished to a high sheen and adorned with intricate patterns of swirling, thorn-like filigree, the carvings embedded reddish copper, while runes adorned the supple leather wrapping around it.

The spearhead had a leaf-shaped design, broadening from a central ridge before tapering to a deadly point.

With the spear now in hand, Damien wasted no time and charged towards Cassandra also, clearly focused on his target.

He thrust his spear towards her, but she swiftly flicked her halberd to deflect his attack.

However, it seemed as if Damien had anticipated her move, as he twisted his hand in response and flicked the bottom of the spear towards her jaws, causing Cassandra’s eyes to widen in realization.

She quickly shifted her head to the side, thinking she had evaded the full force of the attack.

However, a small crescent moon-shaped slash, made of blood, appeared.

With a flash, the slash grazed Cassandra’s right cheek as her hands became covered in Qi.

She transferred the energy into her weapon, using the surge of power to push Damien back.

As Damien tried to close the distance again, this time intending to use sneak attacks to disorient Cassandra, as he realized that she didn’t react swiftly to the blood slash he had unleashed earlier.

However, as he moved his legs, he swiped the spear, demolishing his blood chains and causing the blood to gather just above his head, levitating like a pool, as he closed in once more,

But he saw the halberd swinging horizontally towards him, with the bladed part aiming to strike him in two, the fans of the Bloodline Academy believed that he would be able to escape, just as he had easily done before by transforming into bats.

However, to their surprise, Damien’s expression changed upon seeing the bladed part of the halberd covered in bluish glowing light, prompting him to quickly maneuver his blood red spear into a defensive position.

“Bang!” The crowd immediately realized that their expectations had not come to pass.

As not only had Damien been unable to escape, but he also seemed to be in trouble as Cassandra dragged him along to the edge of the stage.

The hooked blade of her halberd was attempting to remove him from the battle ring, mimicking her tactics against Carmilla before eventually disposing of her the hard way.

“I can’t believe it!

She’s using Aura Blade!

Just look at the bladed part of her halberd, that’s the reason she’s able to pierce Damien now,” one spectator exclaimed.

“She must have realized that she couldn’t injure Damien normally due to his high bloodline density, the only way to counter opponents like him is to use either Qi or an aura attack, and she has both.”

“ By utilizing them, not only has she prevented him from escaping using his bat transformation, but she’s also able to deal damage,” some academy dean analysed.

“she has also forced him into a close battle, Damien needs to make a move quickly, or he won’t know what hit him when she’s done.

Let’s not forget that she’s slightly superior to him in strength,” another important figure watching the match from the VIP section couldn’t help but mention as he observed the intense confrontation.

Cassandra continued to drag Damien towards the edge of the ring, but when they reached the edge, Damien pushed his spear deep into the ground, anchoring himself firmly.

Cassandra, despite her effort, was unable to push him off, even with the little strength required.

Retracting the weapon, Cassandra firmly gripped the halberd with both hands.

Her dominant hand held near the shaft while her other hand was positioned closer to the head of the weapon.

She slightly angled the halberd blade upward and to the side, preparing for a sweeping motion with the confidence of throwing Damien off the stage.

However, Damien was not the type to wait and allow himself to be tossed aside, he pointed his right hand at Cassandra.
