"Oh no!" Albert's expression changed instantly upon seeing this, and he leaped out of the stands, rushing towards the main stage.
Norvan remained seated, raising his right hand towards the stage, but hesitated again upon seeing the instantly unleashed purple-gold fireball.
"Amy!" Mai Ge also stood up abruptly, about to rush towards the stage. He hadn't expected this guy to play dirty tricks, and he even used a forbidden sealing spell. This ball of lightning was at least a level seven spell, which Amy couldn't possibly withstand at her current level.
The silver ball of lightning traced a dazzling arc as it flew towards Amy. A purple-gold fireball shot from her magic wand, heading straight to meet the ball of lightning.
The audience was on tenterhooks. Hank had launched a sneak attack, and it seemed he had used some kind of prohibited item. If the people around her didn't manage to rescue her in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
As for the fireball spell that Amy hastily unleashed, although the purple-gold flames looked quite dazzling, but no one believed it could stop the ball of lightning.
"Boom!"
The purple-gold fireball and the ball of lightning collided in mid-air and exploded instantly.
The expected scene of the ball of lightning utterly crushing the purple-gold fireball did not occur. The two collided, exploding in an instant. The purple-gold fireball unleashed terrifying energy, completely blocking the ball of lightning.
Lightning and flames exploded, the terrifying power transforming into heat waves and shockwaves, sweeping the purple-gold flames and fragments of lightning in all directions.
The two teachers on the stage paled, simultaneously releasing magical shields and retreating rapidly. Such power posed a deadly threat to them, two level 6 mages.
Crassus descended from the sky, landing heavily in front of Amy. With a wave of his hand, a wall of fire appeared, and then the flames and heat waves that swept towards Amy slammed into the wall of fire, but failed to shake it in the slightest.
"Retreat!" Albert leaped onto the stage, grabbing the completely stunned Hank by the collar and pulling him towards the edge of the arena. Simultaneously, he swung his magic wand forward, creating eight ice walls in front of them.
The hastily erected ice wall was shattered into pieces by the heat wave. In the blink of an eye, all eight ice walls were broken. The heat wave hit Hank, and purple-gold flames swept up, burning away his green hair and eyebrows. Lightning fragments landed on him, making him tremble violently.
"Crackling!"
The remaining heat and electricity slammed into the light shield surrounding the arena, like countless fireworks exploding on the light shield. The light shield shook violently, showing signs of collapse.
"Phew." Albert yanked Hank out of the light shield. His hand went limp, and Hank fell to the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He looked down at his hand and saw that his fingertips had been turned blackish-gray by lightning.
"How...how could she possibly withstand the lightning orb my master gave me?" Hank, lying on the ground, looked up at Amy with disbelief in his eyes. In that instant, he felt death approaching. The small fireball she released was no less powerful than the level seven lightning orb his master had given him for self-defense.
Smoke was still rising from his body, which was already numb. His gaze fell upon Crassus, who slowly lowered his hand and dispelled the wall of fire, and he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"That guy deserves to die." Mai Ge looked at Amy, who stood unharmed behind Crassus, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then, looking at Hank lying on the ground, his gaze turned icy, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"She actually blocked it!"
A cheer erupted from the crowd below. Although Crassus had blocked the final aftershock for Amy, but the power of the fireball Amy had released earlier was almost equal to the lightning ball Hank had unleashed, making the shock even more intense than before.
"That's the fluctuation of level seven magic! Could it be that she's already a level seven mage?" A teacher in the Magic Academy's seating area stared at Amy in disbelief.
"A four years old level seven mage? This isn't just genius, this is monstrous!" a short, stout teacher exclaimed.
"She's not a level seven mage, the problem lies with her mage staff. If I'm not mistaken, the purple crystal ball at the top of that staff should be the legendary Prophecy Stone. That fireball spell she just cast might have triggered ten times its power, or even more." an elderly man in the teachers' section said leisurely.
"Prophecy Stone!" Everyone was surprised again upon hearing this. This was one of the legendary items that mages possessed. However, after glancing at the old man, they were already 80 or 90 percent convinced. After all, Dean Derek was a level 10 archmage, and his insight and judgment were naturally highly credible.
"However, being able to unleash more than ten times the power, the little girl is indeed a genius, and having gained the approval of the Prophecy Stone, perhaps she can truly unleash its power. Crassus and Yulian have really taken on a good apprentice this time." Derek said, looking at Amy with admiration and a hint of envy.
"That scared me to death! Luckily Amy is amazing, otherwise that guy would have succeeded in his sneak attack on her." Daphne patted her chest, looking at Hank with some annoyance.
"That guy is shameless! He dared to launch a sneak attack, and even used a forbidden sealing spell! He must be severely punished!" Ignaz said angrily.
"Hank, the representative of the Mage Tower, violated the rules by using a forbidden sealing spell to sneak attack Amy from the Magic Academy. Chaos Academy wins this match, and Hank's representative qualification is revoked, permanently banning him from participating in the Challenger Tournament!" Capas announced loudly, his stern gaze sweeping over the members of the Mage Tower, full of warning.
"We accept the punishment." Albert said, putting his hands behind his back, stepping forward, and nodding with a somewhat solemn expression. He glanced at Crassus, whose face was gloomy, and his mood became even heavier.
Hank, that idiot, caused this mess. The key today is no longer the outcome of the challenge, but how he can safely lead everyone away from the Chaos Academy from the enraged Crassus.
This old mage, who was seen as taciturn and amiable by the younger generation of the Mage Tower, was not a kind old grandfather at all. The Mage Tower had been rebuilt three times in history. Although it was claimed to be an upgrade and renovation, and indeed, each time it was rebuilt to be more magnificent and imposing.
However, everyone in the Mage Tower knows that two of those reconstructions were actually destroyed by someone, and that powerful person was none other than Crassus, a great mage who dared to destroy even the Mage Tower when he was angry, and who even the king found troublesome.
Now that Hank dared to launch a sneak attack on his apprentice, he had no idea what would happen.
"You accept? I haven't accepted yet." Crassus stepped forward and sneered.
