The final match of the third trials was tempest facing off Exus. Exus didn't hide the deep hatred he had for Tempest. He was practically glaring at her in the ring when they were facing each other.
The spectators had increased more than usual. Most of the spectators wanted to see the final battle with their own eyes and experience it. Tempest noticed something amiss with Exus.
There was a dark aura he was emitting. Even though visible to others, with her Phoenix eye skill she could see it clearly. He had used dark curse art to ascend to the God realm from the guardian realm.
Tempest casually guessed someone had secretly boosted him using dark arts. She wasn't going to reveal it yet because she needed him to enter the academy to watch his every move inorder to find who that hidden backer was.
A normal person won't be able to achieve this feat. Tempest casually glanced towards the masters at a distance looking at the expressions to know if they have noticed something amiss.
"Good" Tempest muttered when she saw nothing wrong.
She turned her attention back to the furious and malicious Exus who was glaring at her.
"Why aren't you asking anything?" Exus asked her
"What's there to ask?" She asked back
"Don't you want to know why I hate you so much!" He roared
"Please Save me from your boring backstory" Tempest retorted making many spectators gasp and laugh.
Some even openly mocked Exus for his childishness. Exus looked around the spectators marking those who had confidently mocked him. He vowed to destroy them and their families.
"Pride brings downfall. The higher you climb, the harder you will fall" Exus warned.
Tempest knew there was a deeper matter to these words. On the surface, they could be seen as words but the within, only the two of them understood.
Tempest told him to cut her some slack because she already knew why he hates him. The reason was....no reason at all. He merely hated the fact that Tempest was more powerful than him and wanted the attention to himself. He had no difference with prince zariath.
One could think that they were siblings because they both had a childish mindset. Tempest doesn't want attention, That's too stupid to want at that age. She wanted actions and results. She wasn't really eager with what Exus wanted to say and merely fight him
The commentator announced the beginning of the battle
Exus took out a platinum tier spear known as Morgrath. It was a blade from a dark god who was obsessed with power and was full of greed. It symbolised something dark and powerful, ancient terror and dread- filled. Tempest saw that the matter would escalate into something big. That spear he was holding silently told about forgotten deaths and horrors.
"Take out your weapon. I want to fight you head on!" Exus said confidently.
"Are you sure?" Tempest asked
"Yes. Why do you ask? Are you scared?" Exus said with a creepy voice
Tempest closed and shook her head. She decides to kill this person invading the body. For the Exus before him had become a host of something terrible.
"Fine" she shrugged "but don't surrender" she added
"Why would I do that?"
"I warned you"
Tempest said and an overwhelming force enveloped the whole star. A wave of raw energy radiated outward, pressing against the hearts of all nearby and far across the world. It wasn't just fear—it's the certainty of impending death. People were sweating torrents one could think they had a vigorous exercise
Tempest held the weapon to reduce the pressure which finally made some people breath. The dragon colosseum became silent when they saw the weapon on tempest's hand. She draped the large deathblade over her shoulder.
The goddess almost everyone adored currently looked like a grim reaper ready to take their lives. They wondered if it was truly her or perhaps she had a twin. They couldn't believe it.
The most pitiful person at that point was her opponent who was shaking like he saw the devil. Tempest grew bored and retreated her weapon. She slowly walked towards Exus making him move backwards.
He tripped and fell. The Morgrath fell beside him. He was snapped back to his current self. He looked around confused
"What happened? Where am I?" He asked tempest
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! REWARD: SPIRITUAL AWAKENING REALM AURA!
Tempest picked up the spear and locked it within the heavenly pagoda. She would not allow such evil to descend upon the world. Tempest sighed when she realized that he had another matter to assign Trevor to investigate.
Hours later, was the award ceremony. Tempest was greeted by all the masters. Surrounding her and showering her with praises.
One of the masters wondered where she took the Morgrath but she didn't answer and ignored the question.
