Chapter 497 The Final Round!

497 The Final Round!

The sun had reached its zenith in the sky, casting a brilliant radiance over the arena as the time for the grand final battle between Mia Frostine and Seraphine drew near. The anticipation in the stadium had reached its peak, and the entire world seemed to hold its breath in suspense.

Mia Frostine, the strongest from Human geniuses and Seraphine, the strongest from Aasimar geniuses, stood at opposite ends of the arena, their eyes locked in a silent exchange of determination. The crowd's cheers and chants filled the air, creating an electric atmosphere.

The two finalists were ready to showcase their incredible talents and magical prowess in a battle that would determine the ultimate champion of the tournament.

Hiro's group also watched with interest. Their professor was in the final and just one battle away from being called the greatest genius in the whole world.

She has also defeated Princess Elenia which Sylvia and Hiro were unable to. That just showed just how powerful their former homeroom teacher is.

"Seraphine is also so powerful!"

Sylvia said. Previously, she didn't think much of Seraphine and thought that she was a nice person. And even though both Zero and Professor Mia said that she was powerful, she had no idea until yesterday when Seraphine battled with Amelia.

"But Professor Mia should be able to win!"

Lisa said. Her admiration for Professor Mia was great and she also considered Mia Frostine as her role model.

But even without that admiration, at the moment, Mia had more momentum as she had defeated a fellow Rank-S and showed more power than Seraphine.

"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests, and fellow contestants, welcome to the grand final of this contest! This is the final battle to determine the winner of the contest. Are you ready?"

The crowd erupted in a deafening roar, their excitement reaching a fever pitch. The anticipation was palpable as Mia and Seraphine faced each other with unwavering determination.

"Are you both ready?"

Searphine took out her spear as she gave a small nod. Mia also took out her staff and gave a nod to the referee.

The referee raised his hand and declared, "Let the final battle begin!"

Mia and Seraphine wasted no time. Their mana surged, and their auras radiated power as they prepared for the clash. The audience watched with bated breath as the two contestants made their initial moves.

[ "Ice Spear" ]

With Mia being the long range fighter, she was the one to make the first move. Her strategy was to keep Seraphine away and to utilize her advantage as a long range fighter.

-WHOOSH!

Seraphine effortlessly dodged Mia's attack as if she had already predicted it. Her strategy was to get close to Mia where her advantage lay.

But it didn't seem like Mia would make it easy for her.

[ "Icy Burst" ] …

[ "Ice Wave" ] …

Mia launched a barrage of attacks toward Seraphine, her aim precise and her attacks relentless. Seraphine danced gracefully among the attack, also using mana barriers as protective barriers to ward off the chilling assault.

Slowly but surely Seraphine was closing the distance between herself and Mia. And Mia also knew that. Her attacks were only slowing down the process.

[ "Frozen Surface" ]

Mia used Frozen surface skill, instantly transforming the ground into a slippery and treacherous surface. Seraphine didn't want to stay where she was disadvantageous and flew in the sky. [ "Stellar Annihilation Waves" ]

Mia attacked with her powerful skill.

[ "Heavenly Spear: Divine Eclipse" ]

It was too late for Seraphine to dodge the attack, so she decided to confront the attack with her own attack. -BOOM!

The two opposing forces clashed in a dazzling spectacle of magic and power. The stellar annihilation waves and Seraphine's divine eclipse collided in a cataclysmic explosion that lit up the sky. The audience watched in awe as the titanic clash continued. The battle was evenly matched, and neither side was willing to yield an inch. f𝚛𝗲𝐞𝐰e𝗯n𝗼v𝗲𝚕.𝚌o𝐦

Seraphine didn't wasn't any time. Seraphine descended from the sky, her spear glowing with divine energy. She took advantage of the explosion to hide the fact that she was coming towards Mia.

She closed the gap between her and Mia, determined to engage in close combat where she held the advantage.

[ "Primordial Ice Palace" ]

Mia, having no choice, summoned her primordial Ice Palace. Since Seraphine was going to close the distance, Mia decided to trap her in her Ice Palace where she held the advantage.

[ "Heavenly Spear: Celestial Judgment" ] Seraphine tried to injure Mia with her attack but her attack was blocked by the Ice pillars. Not only that, the Ice Pillar also restricted Seraphine's movement, making her an easy target.

[ "Ice Spear" ]

But Seraphine was no ordinary foe. With a burst of divine energy, she shattered the frost chains and lunged forward, spear in hand. She closed the gap with incredible speed and precision. However, her attempt to engage in a fight with Mia was stopped by the Ice Pillars.

[ "Celestial Smite" ]

Seraphine's spear glowed with radiant energy as she delivered a crushing blow to those Ice Pillars and crushed them. [ "Ice Wave" ]

Mia didn't panic and tried to stop Mia from advancing with her attack. Even if the attack didn't hit Seraphine, it would slow her down.

[ "Astral Ward" ]

However, it seems that it isn't enough to stop Seraphine advance nor did it slowed her down. She covered herself in a protective barrier which prevented her from getting frozen by Mia's Ice Wave.

It seems like ordinary skills are not enough to stop Seraphine who seemed determined to win the fight. Mia gathered her mana and a vortex started to appear within Ice Palace. The vortex didn't do anything for the moment and seemed harmless.

Seraphine was wary of it but still didn't stop. She knew that her victory was within her grasp as long as she could get near Mia Frostine.

[ "Frostbite Chains" ]

Mia's voice echoed through the Ice Palace as she conjured chains of frost that shot out from the swirling vortex. They wrapped around Seraphine, restricting her movements further. The Aasimar genius struggled to break free, her divine energy flaring as she attempted to shatter the icy bonds.

However, Mia Frostbite Chain was very strong and with Mia being inside Ice Palace, her skill was more powerful.

But Mia wasn't finished yet. With a determined look in her eyes, she raised her staff high and channeled Vast amounts of mana into one devastating spell.
