Magic With You

The audience waited until the fog vanishes to see whether Kence was still alive or not

However, the situation was completely unexpected. Hans wasn't that affected by his own attack

He only received minor injuries. That is the case for him, a Noble Mage yet Kence a mere Grand Knight was still standing from his original position

The cold energies present in the surroundings blew his air but not even the slightest bit of dirt or damage can be seen from his blue robes and own body

He was still perfectly fine as if he wasn't caught up in a frosty explosion

"Impossible!" The scene that entered Hans' eyes should be impossible but no matter how long he looks at Kence, the youth was still the same as before

Noble Mages have towering pride. Hans can't let himself continue to lose face

In a flash, Hans's body vanishes. Since this is his domain, he can move freely inside it. His movement speed would even increase by a large margin

However, yet another unexpected thing happened

Bang!

Strong shockwaves were sent in all directions as Kence's Icemoon Sword and Hans' staff collided with each other

The Grand Knights didn't even see how Hans move due to his speed but Kence perfectly blocked his blow

Not wanting to believe what is happening, Hans' body continued to flicker here and there to hit Kence with his staff

More and more shockwaves were sent flying in the air as the sword and staff never cease to clash

Kence was fighting toe to toe with a mage that was backed by the power of a domain when he doesn't even have one

As for the reason? It was the ice domain itself!

When Kence's heart fully froze, his mastery and affinity for ice magic has increased by an unimaginable level

One of the reasons why Noble Mage was strong is because they can utilize the power of their domain

As for Kence, although he doesn't have a domain yet but if an ice-type domain was activated, he too would receive the same boost of power that the domain user has

In fact, Kence was blessed by the icy energies better than the Noble themselves

If Kence's opponent is an ice type Noble Mage that uses the power of a domain, they wouldn't be able to beat him

Countless magic was thrown in the air while Hans' staff didn't stop from trying to smash Kence

The fight became so heated the Grand Knights can't see their movements at all. As for the Nobles that can easily watch the battle, their blood boiled due to how exciting it was

They already completely forgotten that the goal of today's match is to stop the Sect Master from giving Kence too high of a treatment

Deciding to end this fight, Kence stops moving while his Icemoon Sword greedily swallowed all the icy energies around

Hans sensed that and he also increases the power his staff has

The two charged at each other to clash again when Hans' eyes widened in shock

A strong sense of resistance filled his body and his moves slowed down. Even the icy energies inside his domain that should be docile to him rebelled

Before Hans can even investigate such a ridiculous phenomenon, Kence already reaches him

The youth's sword went to stab Hans but it was blocked by an invisible barrier

Even if a Grand Knight decided to ambush a Noble Mage, the success rate was still extremely low

Noble Mages have an automatic magic barrier in their bodies that they can choose to activate or not. Of course, the energy expenditure and defensive power are not proportional

If a Noble Mage was ambushed and they have their automatic defense activated, it would use up a lot of their mana

But if they choose to not have the automatic barrier then even if they can save mana, they would endanger their lives. It would be easier to ambush them

Hans just like more than 99% of Nobles has activated automatic defense. However, Kence's Icemoon Sword was boosted by the power of the domain

It easily slices through the invisible barrier and Kence's sword stops only when it was only centimeters away from Hans' throat

Hans didn't even dare gulp as he felt like his throat would be slice open if he does that

Fortunately, Kence backs away as the match's result was already decided

"This disciple thanks Senior for his guidance" Kence said in an indifferent tone

The crowd instantly turned silent. A Grand Knight defeating a Noble Mage has never been heard before!

It would be ridiculous if someone thought of that but that ridiculous thing happened in front of so many people

This was simply unprecedented!

"Due to disciple Kence's exemplary performance today, he shall be awarded by an additional Icejade Dew" the Sect Master announced but no one dared to refute that

Icejade Dew is something that all Ice-type Noble Mages would want to have but it would actually be given to a mere Grand Knight

But that Grand Knight... He ... he just defeated a Noble Mage!

"This disciple thanks the Sect Master. May Sect Master excuse this disciple"

The Sect Master nodded her head at that. Kence's white magic carpet appeared again and he waited for his personal maid to board it before they soared in the air

Kence only speaks when needed. This makes both male and female disciples feel that it was a pity. They want to see Kence for a longer time and also hear his enchanting voice

Too bad that Kence didn't stay for a longer time and returned to his cultivation immediately

Escardon Realm

Inside the grandest Magic Tower in the Escardon Academy, a youth with pitch-black hair can be seen sitting in a meditative posture

Around him were countless skeletons shrouded with black fogs

All the skeletons were cultivating quietly making the atmosphere eerie

In the youth's hand was a blue crystal that was giving off a familiar aura. The youth almost never let go of this crystal as if it was the most important thing for him

Calter's body is inside the Escardon Realm but his spirit was not in his body

It was instead inside a special place that Calter only got to learn the existence of after Kence was removed from his life

Necropolis

It was a place that is both known and unknown. It was said that the souls of all the people that died were sent in there and they all became an undead

It was a kind of place where there is only undead, undead, and undead

The grief from Kence's absence transformed Calter. In the past, he was only unapproachable but now, he was more violent

He would not hesitate to kill if anyone displeases him. Fortunately, he focuses on his cultivation to reach the Noble Mage Rank as soon as possible

Calter already completed the first step from that. The souls of Grand Knights and below were only a glowing piece of ball

However, Noble Mages have souls that have the exact same shape and appearance as their body

Currently, Calter's soul already has the same form as his physical body. In fact, thanks to the effect of Kence's absence his cultivation art helps him

His soul was currently stronger than even Noble Mages that just step on that realm

A strong soul is precisely what Calter needs to accomplish his goal in entering the Necropolis with his spirit

An ethereal body created from soul power appeared inside one of the realms in the Necropolis

It was a dark, gloomy, and lifeless place. The undead doesn't need to eat after all

In fact, the undead that Calter summoned in the past also came from Necropolis

But now, instead of passively summoning some undead, Calter will choose to subdue an undead he wants

Subduing an undead will make that undead his retainer. Calter would be able to summon the undead at will and they are basically his slaves

With Calter's soul reaching the levels of Noble Mages, he has confidence that he can subdue a Rank 4 creature

The past few months have also made Calter understand more things. Even if he managed to meet Kence, who knows what situation his man would be in?

It is not enough to only see Kence. Calter must have the power to save his lover!

The Deep Freeze Sect is a powerful Sect. In fact, it was much stronger than the Three Kingdoms in the Escardon Realm combined from what Calter learned from the Head Master

If it ever comes to the point that Calter will need to fight this sect, he needs to be prepared

To do that, not only does he need to be strong enough. He also needs to have powerful subordinates!

Calter's spirit body traveled in the dark and gloomy Necropolis. The number of Rank 3 and below undead were too numerous but Calter ignored all of them

He already enslaved a lot of Grand Knights and below and he can summon them easily with a much lower mana cost

However, Grand Knights are mere toys in front of Noble Mages

Calter desperately needed Noble Mages if he wants Kence to be returned to him
