Chapter 148: Blake vs The Crowned Prince

At an open field behind the Lunar Academy.

“Are you sure you want to do this old friend?” The Crowned Prince asked with a chuckle standing on the small earthen platform he created for the battle.

Unlike normal earth, this one had a silvery color and was much stronger. If someone at the Peak of the Origin Plane struck it with their full strength, it wouldn’t be damaged, not even a crack would appear. But in front of someone as strong as Blake, it wouldn’t last long.

“Heh!” Blake smirked as a response.

If not for the fact that he didn’t want it to look like he assaulted the Crowned Prince, he would have already attacked him by now.

“Okay, just to be clear, I won’t go easy on you just because we are friends.” The Crowned Prince said while stretching his arms.

“We were friends, not anymore. I’ve been waiting for so long for this day.” Blake said with an evil grin appearing on his face.

“Oh, why didn’t you come to find me in the Capital, you know I’m always there.” The Crowned Prince smiled lightly.

When Blake saw the smile, he wanted to rush up and beat the Crowned Prince.

The truth was, although he was angry at the Crowned Prince, the main reason he was finding trouble with the Crowned Prince was that he felt disgusted by what he and his father were currently doing.

He was friends with the Crowned Prince when he was younger, so he knew him all too well. The Crowned Prince is a cunning evil snake, he would wear a smile while slowly killing off his family.

“Enough nonsense.” Blake said preparing to attack.

Seeing that Blake was about to attack, the Crowned Prince shut his mouth and also prepared himself. Since he’s quite familiar with Blake, he knew he would attack him even if he wasn’t ready.

Buzz!

Lightning danced all around Blake’s body as well as within a meter of his body.

“Ah…the lightning element. So…beautiful.” The Crowned Prince looked at the lightning and a glint flashed past his eyes.

Earth slowly revolved around the Crowned Prince with an armor gradually covering up his entire upper body leaving just his head open.

Swoosh!

Blake disappeared from his previous spot and shot towards the Crowned Prince like a bolt of lightning.

Bang!

A huge earthen fist appeared and clashed with the bolt of lightning. Causing a loud banging sound.

Blake appeared once again, but this time he was mid-air staring at the Crowned Prince with listless eyes. He naturally didn’t expect to take out the Crowned Prince with just this attack.

The Crowned Prince looked at Blake who was mid-air and his smiling face slowly turned serious.

“*Sigh* My friend, you’re still so powerful. No wonder none of those morons at the Starlight Academy could stop you.” He sighed, remembering what he heard about Blake charging over to Starlight Academy to cause a ruckus because of a woman.

‘I must say, she isn’t bad.’ He thought looking at Delia.

Other than appreciating her beauty, he didn’t have any other thoughts towards her. Unlike other people his age who wanted to frequently enjoy the pleasure of being with a woman, he knew otherwise. There were bigger things he had to do, he couldn’t waste his time fulfilling lustful desires.

“I’d have killed that fool if not for the intervention of the principal.” Blake said icily.

When he remembered the man who attacked Delia, his anger shot upwards once again.

The battle soon started with Blake mostly being on the offensive.

Watching from the side were Oliver and Delia.

“They’re both strong.” Delia said looking at the ongoing battle.

“Yeah. But you should know they’ve not gone all out, else, this wall of yours wouldn’t be standing.” Oliver said looking at the transparent ice wall Delia used to isolate this place from the Academy.

Oliver suggested this since he didn’t want to cause panic in the Academy. If the sound of the battle between Blake and the Crowned Prince were to be heard by the students, no one knew what the students would say.

Delia smiled lightly when she heard this, of course, she knew if the battle turned serious, even standing this close wouldn’t be good for her.

“Who do you think will win?” Delia asked while watching the battle.

“I don’t really know the full extent of the Crowned Prince’s powers so I can’t really say for sure, but, I think your boyfriend will win.” Oliver said with a smile.

“Yeah, me too.” Delia nodded.

Some seconds later, she suddenly realized what Oliver said and blushed.

“He’s not my boyfriend.” She pouted.

“Okay, so does that mean he’ll lose?” Oliver enquired with a light laugh.

“Of course not, he’ll definitely win.” Delia said seriously.

“Why are you so confident he wouldn’t lose?” Oliver asked curiously.

“Because… I believe in him. Also, he said amongst his peers, he was undefeatable” Delia replied.

“He told you that?” Oliver asked with an odd expression flashing on his face which he quickly hid.

“Yeah. You’re his teacher, so you should know. Or could it be that he was lying?” Delia asked raising a brow.

“No, amongst his peers, he truly was invincible.” Oliver replied lying through his teeth.

He was so professional when lying that even he wanted to believe himself.

‘Invincible my foot!’ He thought.

But he wouldn’t tell Delia that when Blake was younger, he was a scared, anti-social, bullied young boy. That would sully the image he had managed to build for himself. Most of his peers at that time still felt strange whenever they hear about Blake’s current actions, they never once expected he would turn out to be such a hot-tempered person later on.

After exchanging moves for over a minute.

Blake stopped mid-air and looked at the Crowned Prince.

“Still acting like a turtle.” Blake said looking at the multiple defenses the Crowned Prince had set up.

The fight still hadn’t gotten serious yet. Blake was still holding back, while all the Crowned Prince was doing was defending while attacking once an opportunity presents itself.

He was a clever person and knew Blake was only looking for a way to beat him up, so he didn’t want things to get too serious. Although, he was still very confident in his abilities.

“Okay, we should stop playing around. Why don’t we take things seriously this time around?” The Crowned Prince asked.

“I thought you’d never ask.” Blake smiled.

A huge lightning bow suddenly appeared three meters away from him.

Thang!

Swoosh!

The arrow shot straight at the Crowned Prince with lightning-quick speed.

‘Fuck! I love this element, just as much as I hate facing someone wielding it.’ The Crowned Prince scurried to set up a defensive wall.

Nine six meters thick walls appeared in front of him, each separated by two meters.

Bam! Crash! Crack!

The lightning arrow went through the first four walls like a hot knife through butter. One has to remember this was a wall that could stop an all-out attack of a Peak Origin Plane Elementalist, yet, three couldn’t even stop a single attack.

The arrow didn’t stop after passing through the first three walls, it went on the fourth one with its momentum still at its peak. After it went through the fourth one, it slowed down a little, but the fifth, sixth and seventh one couldn’t stop it.

It continued to the eighth one, but its speed had reduced greatly. Yet, even after being disrupted by the previous seven walls, it still forced its way past the eighth wall and it soon slowly started penetrating the ninth wall.

In the end, only the arrowhead managed to appear on the other side of the wall, but it couldn’t move an inch and just stayed put.

“*Phew* That had me scared for a minute.” The Crowned Prince breathed out a sigh of relief.

“Hey, buddy! This all you got?” He asked Blake who was still floating mid-air.

Blake only smirked as a response.

When he saw Blake’s smirk, he suddenly remembered something and quickly retreated.

“Shit! I hate this guy.” He cursed as he retreated.

But alas, he realized it too late.

‘Explode’ Blake said internally.

Boom!

The arrowhead which was the only thing visible on the wall exploded out, causing a massive white light to cover the area of the battle.

“Does he plan on killing him?” Delia couldn’t help but ask when she saw the powerful explosion.

“Haha, of course not. Do you think Blake is foolish enough to kill the Crowned Prince here? Besides, even if he wants to kill him, it wouldn’t be this easy.” Oliver laughed while dispersing the impact of the attack that was coming in their direction.

“Yeah, you’re right about that.” Delia nodded remembering this was only a spar.

She had always known Blake was strong, but she never expected him to be this strong. This was the first time she was seeing Blake fight, and she couldn’t hide the shock and awe in her eyes. The most shocking thing was that Blake was still holding back.

How strong would he be if he really went all out?

This question ran through her mind over and over again making her heart beat faster and faster.
