Everyone gathered at Arena, awaiting Empress speech.
Let's just see the current status of the teams without wasting time" (Adleida)
Empress examining the receiver's and shocked.
"I think, It's better to see yourself than I explain" (Adleida)
People confused by what she meant. Soon, the Arena ground which had teleportation gate started to glow. A man with white hair with blue eyes emitting breezing snow arrived with his team.
"Second prince Lucius and his team successfully defeated the boss demon of first world" (Lucius)
People are cheering in joy, "No wonder he is the royal blood of Enigma clan, It's been decades since someone cleared this competition by defeating the boss demon, His team is also very strong in combat, There is no doubt he is winning the festival"
"I offer my congratulations in defeating the demon. Your team will be awarded for it" (Adleida)
Lucius knelt down "I just did it as a part of responsibility, your majesty"
Adleida impressed "At least you have some responsibility unlike your elder brother"
Esther couldn't wait any longer
"What happened to Isagi team" (Esther)
"I hoped that they might return by morning, but given that they haven't and we can't do anything without artifacts. I am sorry" (Adleida)
Esther shocked "What do you mean, can't we go inside and search"
"That's not a tourist spot and I stated clearly that if they are in first world they can be tracked and you don't have any chance of going to their second world" (Adleida)
"Fine then , Let us go and search them. We take our risks" (Emiko)
Adleida sighed "I can't allow two leaders of clans to just go into some unknown place with no guaranty of return. Are you even thinking about your territory people? Do you have any idea what might happen if two also disappear"
"Will you say this if your son got disappeared" (Esther)
"I believe I am not weak and thoughtless like your son and wife" (Lucius)
"What did you say?" Esther clenched his burning fists. "Watch your tongue, you are not yet announced as next Emperor"
"I don't need a title to beat you, come down to Arena and I will show you what I can" (Lucius)
"Calm down, you both. This is not the time to fight." (Aaradhya)
when the argument was glowing, The teleportation gate again started to shine. A group of students appearing.
"It's....It's team Isagi!!!" Audience
"I am glad they are okay. wait, where is Isagi?" (Emiko)
"Christe, where is mom" (Esther)
They are quite for a moment. After that, Christe mustered up "Our professor said she will be coming before 12 noon"
"What do you mean by that" (Esther)
"All right, Isagi team, come and report everything in my room. Esther and Emiko can join too" (Adleida)
Few hours ago,
"Are you confident that you can defeat me? I am demon you know. My energy itself should be enough to knock you off" (Velmara)
"Are you going to keep talking, I don't have enough time"
"You scum!!!, You are going to regret your decision" Velmara raised her hands on both sides emitting dark elemental energy. Black flowers and grasses started to form on the ground. Soon, A garden of black flowers created around her and Isagi.
Isagi pulled out her sword A garden of black flower's created entirely using dark element uh.
A petal from one of the flower's flashed near Isagi eyes scratching her cheeks.
"Oops. I forgot to say those petals can attack. Silly me" Velmara playing dumfound, provoking Isagi
Channel your element on sword. the sword glows brightly. I channeled element in my sword and hand to react to those petals. Isagi deflecting and cutting those petals
while Isagi holding back those petals from hitting her. suddenly explosions started to happen around her.
"AAAAA" Isagi thrown away into the side wall and fell down. her body started to bleed.
Laughing "My bad, I again forgot to tell you those flowers will explode with poison if all petals are removed. You may be unaffected by dark elemental energy but that doesn't mean you can withstand dark elemental attacks. that poison will go into your body and kills you slowly. No healing could cure you"
Me head started feeling dizzy and my body veins started turning black. I couldn't converge my element to heart either. It's blocking in from reaching the heart.
Isagi fell down and started losing consciousness
{{{ "Are you going to learn something or keep on eating whatever your husband gives you" (Emiko)
"Its' not my fault. He is the one insisting on telling me to rest and the students will take care of me during the competition"
"What are you? A pampered princess?" (Emiko)
"What? I too practice everyday without knowing to him . I am trying to use my element efficiently and figuring out how much it lasts for each method. The more I practice the longer I am able to hold that move"
"Hmm. I never saw any element like yours's. It's never existed as far as i remember. May be it's originated new like divinity came from Enigma?"(Emiko)
"Leave that. I am really curious about your lightning speed. You almost turn into lightning. Is it all because converging in heart? Doesn't converging in heart gives you more authority over your element and make it hard for any other element enter your body? Isn't that why Aquila can withstand dark element in that dungeon? But that doesn't explain you turning into lightning and move fast. If that's the case then Esther should be also able to move in lightning speed"
"Hmm. To put it simply. Yes, I use my element to converge it to my heart to gain authority. But speed is exclusive for lightning element. The element itself increase you reflection and sense of awareness and you got to have experience to improve it further and keeping it more duration. That's the same case for light element too. Yours's also look similar"(Emiko)
"Will I able to use it?"
"It's not about using, It's more like unlocking. Normally, people can channel their element into hands, legs or evenly spread through body or emitting out. But converging into heart is like you are condensing and putting pressure to heart. Your veins will stress your heart. But only lightning or light element user's have a chance on channeling the element to your head" (Emiko)
"Channeling to head? Is that even possible?"
"On normal condition, No. It's only possible when you are in death bed, the element in your body will search a way to save you when heart no longer capable of receiving it. Only light and lightning can go beyond your neck and enter head in those situations enhancing your entire elemental energy. It consumes too much of your elemental energy and makes us see the world slower and make you reflect like never before. you will become one with the element. It's very hard to hold on that state without getting experienced to it. putting too much stress on brain may result you to bleed and die. First you should be strong enough to hold on to your life and channel it to brain which will hurt you more in first time. If you survived that, the next time would be easy to do that move" (Emiko)
Focusing on brain in the brink of death uh, I hope I never go into extreme situation like that.}}}
