Ascension of the Nephilim

630 Inheritor of a Dead Class

The Sealing Fire Circle.

It is a basic sealing spell that uses great fire energy.

It is, in the words of Triona Emberdon, a pathetic and utterly useless spell.

The magic was weak and could only be useful against Champions and those below them.

But such a spell in the mundane world was a miracle.

Emeros had already entered and arrived in this clearing and made his preparations to make the monsters avoid the clearing.

With Vivindel, who was now a living plant, they planted and moved many poisonous plants and grew the rest.

Emeros also crafted an intricate energy conversion circle by having Vivindel borrow down and fill the circle with the blood of some monsters that previously inhabited the clearing.

Numerous ores were placed, but Emeros had made this circle bound to the Fire Elemental Core he had created.

The energy would soon be used up, but as it stood, Emeros was in the schedule of his plans to teach the kids an important lesson.

The students were allowed to regroup as Emeros waited.

The injured and the bleeding students rushed back.

The fighters who received painful wrestling moves from Serena began to crawl and limp back.

Many took out their potions and pills, while others began to cast healing spells.

But many were so close to fainting and needed larger amounts of healing.

Serena stood next to Emeros and shook her head.

"Master. These fighters can't even fight me and are not worthy of my sword's edge." Serena laughed as she caught a sword which she had hurled up.

Three swords landed, and Serena caught all.

Everyone fighting saw the swords and was amazed. They all thought she was holding onto one sword!

The fighters and the mages who had tasted Serena's attacks knew just how strong she was and how she could sense and time her attacks using the swords. Many didn't even know what hit them, but now they knew Serena had many weapons.

"That was... the thing that fell on my head!" A mage student shouted.

"Everyone! Focus! What is this circle!?" Chevik called out.

"I still can't believe it... But the fire force fields at the end... This is a Grand Fire Sealing Circle! Only Champions can cast this! How can you cast it?!" The woman with the swollen face shouted at Emeros. She had seen the fire force field used against them and had traumatizing experiences with it!

"No! This is clearly an Energy Eruption Circle! You've seen those blasts!"

"You idiots! Shut up! You are all of the Floating Continent! Get off the books and see with your eyes! This circle is many things! It's not just those two. It's more! We are fighting against someone who can somehow draw and control the energy of this circle and freely use the fire energy! Be it as force fields or explosions!" Mackerel shouted.

"Correct! Perhaps I should spare you!" Emeros's voice was heard.

They all turned to Emeros. They did not have confident, smug expressions, but all looked in fear.

Emeros slowly moved, stretched his hands out, and drew out an orb glowing with red energy.

Mackerel saw a red orb appear and was shocked at what they had seen.

"Elemental Core! This entire energy conversion circle is being powered by that Orb! Impossible!" Mackerel couldn't understand it. The sight had surpassed any basic knowledge of the energy conversion circle that they had read in the books. 

"How can an orb not in contact with the circle harness such energy?!" A mage asked.

"What's going on?! Who is this teacher?!" Another asked.

"Come! Show me the full extent of your intent to kill! You blame me for being a weak, useless person who never had any capacity to overcome your challenges? Then so be it! I know your plots and plans! You think you can get away from this suffering by killing me! But did you know... I can also kill all of you and resolve my problems! Who would care for the Vashura class!? In such an incident, I can report that you all did not listen to or respect me and attacked me! If I inherited a dead class and I myself leave this place without any wounds, then I would absolved of all my troubles!" Emeros laughed as the core on his hand flashed with energy.

Every student's expression paled at Emeros's words. 

"You... you can't!" The other girl in the class shouted.

"Why? You wanted me dead! Don't think I have not heard of your little talk in the classroom!" Emeros laughed as Vivindel floated and revealed a strange stone that suddenly projected a holographic image.

"In other words... if he dies in the Valley Below the Lake, and we make it appear that a monster down there killed a barely teenage kid... there would be close to zero repercussions?" The very same girl that just cried appeared and asked the class.

"Yes. If he dies there... there is close to zero chance of it being investigated." Chevik's voice followed, and his figure emerged.

Everyone was stunned. Emeros had recorded the entire conversation without their knowledge.

"I brought a class here. They all attacked me, and I had no choice but to defend. I have proof. Problem solved. Thank you for making things easier for me!" Emeros laughed.

"Everyone! Defend! Form a formation! Magical shields at the ready!" Chevik suddenly ordered.

The entire class suddenly began to move.

They finally showed their knowledge and prestige. While in the Vashura class, being in the academy meant they had some sense of bravery, intellect, and powerful will.

Chevik finally took the role of a leader.

The entire team took a formation and arranged themselves into position.

"Fighters! Begin to charge forward! I want two mages prioritizing shielding each fighter! The rest, divide yourself into offense and defense!" Chevik ordered.

At Chevik's words, several members began to move and command others, and the team could quickly organize themselves and set up shields. 

A few stabbed their staves on the ground and used magic to repel the circle.

Everyone had trained as mages and were drawing out their mana. Even the fighters at the front did the same.

"Good... Now you are more organized... But class is in session, and the teacher's lesson for dealing with mobs is to create strategies that weaken the mob and strengthen yourself!" Emeros suddenly slapped the ground.

"AH!" The mages who were drawing or harnessing magic all began to shout one after the other.

A powerful, draining magic was taking their magic.

"Magic Draining Circle!" Chevik cursed.

Everyone began to slump down.

As their mana disappeared, the fire elemental core of Emeros merged back in him, and he gathered in his hands a massive fireball.

Without staves, wands, or other magic-focusing tools and weapons, Emeros created a fireball from the mana of many.

Mackerel saw the energy and quickly moved. With his sight that could see the flow of magic, he quickly stabbed the ground and released his force energy that caused an eruption.

BANG!

At once, the magic-draining effect disappeared.

"Good work, student! You saw the magic going to me and decided to sever it! I applaud you for your wit! But now... try and survive this!" Emeros raised his hand.

Everyone quickly summoned whatever Force or Magic they could wield to create a defensive wall.

"[Eldrich Flame]!" Emeros unleashed his attack.

BOOM!
