The mass composing the stakes was no longer simply water but true elemental ice, manifestation of element transcending ordinary manipulation.
It destroyed the rock dome’s remains with ease demonstrating its fundamental elemental superiority, earth fragments dispersing harmlessly while ice continued advancing without notable momentum reduction.
And they imprisoned the Bashe completely, a crystalline cage forming around the now more deflated serpent faster than Liora could order another evasive movement.
It wasn’t simply an external barrier but a structure penetrating through the Bashe’s body, ice needles growing from multiple points simultaneously until the serpent was completely immobilized within a perfect geometric matrix.
The Bashe couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe properly nor could it generate enough miasma to melt the ice made out of holy water.
Trapped... Completely trapped.
It was beautiful in a strange way, a prismatic way.
Ice that formed patterns reflecting light at multiple angles, geometry that wasn’t accidental but specifically optimized for the next technique Ren planned to execute.
A "weak" one.
Finally he ordered the wolverine to use its most powerful flash, concentrated light release that would normally be blinding but damage-limited.
But in this context, surrounded by ice reflecting and refracting light, the effect amplified exponentially.
The flash reflected in the beautiful geometric ice to generate thousands of secondary flashes, each directed toward a different point in the Bashe’s body.
It was an omnidirectional bombardment of purifying light penetrating miasma and burning the serpent’s spiritual essence with an efficiency a single attack would never achieve.
The light didn’t just illuminate, it purified, it annihilated the spiritual miasma.
The Bashe was struck down in the end by an assault eclipsing anything Ren had previously used.
The serpent’s permanent smile finally faded. The spiritual glow in its eyes dimmed to nothing. The miasma dissipated like smoke in the wind.
The bond with Liora severed abruptly.
Liora collapsed onto one knee, hand pressing against her chest where the void of the broken bond resonated with pain.
It wasn’t physical pain, though her body interpreted it that way.
She gasped, vision swimming, tasted iron and realized she’d bitten through her lip without noticing.
The insane battle ended with the wolverine in its final moments, body covered in bleeding wounds communicating exactly how much this victory had cost.
Ren’s beast had 0 external mana just a moment ago. It had to spin its core to extract a bit from its last charge that was no longer complete, the final 15% remaining. It just extracted some of the remaining mana to heal itself and avoid bleeding to death, sufficient energy to not lose the bond but insufficient to continue fighting effectively if another battle began immediately.
Ren breathed deeply, exhaustion hitting him as battle adrenaline began dissipating.
His hands were shaking. Subtle tremor he couldn’t quite suppress. The mental strain of that compound shadow jump sequence, hundreds of calculations in microseconds, had pushed his perception abilities to absolute limits.
Headache building behind his eyes. Price of using abilities beyond safe operational parameters.
He’d won but at a cost exceeding any other victory during this exam.
He’d revealed his ice elemental control and pushed the wolverine to survival’s edge.
And all because Liora had refused to surrender even when defeat seemed inevitable, pushing him beyond his comfort zone.
Worth it, though... Somehow, despite everything, worth it.
The crowd erupted.
Not applause... Just noise. Incoherent sound from thousands of throats simultaneously trying to process what they’d witnessed.
Professor Zhao landed and raised his hand, voice amplified across the utterly destroyed arena: "Victory..."
He paused and cleared his troat.
"Victory: Ren Patinder!"
Now the applause came. Thunderous and deafening, the stands shaking with it.
Applause...
Screams...
