<h4>Chapter 413 Areadbhair, The ughterer Of Men, Beasts, and Deities [Part 1]</h4>


    ?Since a fight couldn''t be avoided, the five people inside the Headmaster’s Office all went to the arena.


    Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Nicole were eager to see this battle


    Of course, they believed that Ethan would have no chance of defeating Edmond inbat.


    However, they were also curious to know what extent the teenage boy could do if he used his full powers in battle.


    Edmond was known to be proficient in Fire, Wind, and Ice.


    His Partial Resonance leaned more toward the Ice Element, where the Grand Archmage summoned a powerful blizzard that would hinder their movements, sight, and magic power.


    If they were very weak, there was a chance that they would be frozen due to the might of the Grand Archmage’s resonance.


    Since both would fight seriously, Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret personally increased the power of the Arena’s protection, making sure that neither duelist would be harmed by their sh of powers.


    Ethan faced Edmond on top of the arena.


    The Grand Archmage was holding a staff instead of a wand, which wasn’t really too rare in this day and age.


    Just as Professor Rinehart, Professor Barret, and Nicole thought that Ethan would take out the Sea God’s Trident like he always did, this time, he summoned a different weapon, which made Professor Barret smirk.


    Ethan was holding a different kind of spear with a slender spade-like tip and runic letters etched on its long handle made of wood, filled with gold gilding.


    There were small rubies embedded into the golden ring that connected the spearhead and its shaft.


    A braided leather cord was tied beneath the golden ring, and three eagle feathers were connected to the ends of the cord.


    It was quite an unusual spear, but Professor Barret recognized it right away.


    This was the spear that Ethan had taken from the treasury of Dawnbreaker Academy, and he believed that Ethan made a good decision in using this weapon to fight against Edmond.


    But what Professor Barret didn’t know was that the abilities of the spear that he saw in the past far surpassed his expectations.


    Ethan’s Other Half had discovered a seal ced upon the spear. After careful inspection, he was shocked to realize that this spear was more formidable and deadlier than they initially thought.


    When Ethan wielded it, he mostly used it to create mes, as well as repel any me-type spells and attacks.


    But, in truth, this spear was soaked in blood.


    It had ended many lives, and the seal that Ethan’s Other Half discovered was written in thenguage of the Tuatha Dé Danann as “ughterer”.


    Yes.


    It was a spear meant to kill and was very good at killing men, Beasts, and even Deities.


    And its name was…


    Areadbhair.


    ‘He’s not using the Trident he normally uses,’ Edmond thought as he appraised the spear in Ethan’s hand.


    Although Areadbhair looked unique, whenpared to the famous spears of the Eastshire Kingdom, it still looked in.


    Even so, Edmond knew better than to underestimate the boy, who had manipted the Thunderstorm to exterminate the Monsters from the Dungeon Outbreak.


    “Are both of you ready?” Professor Barret asked.


    “Yes,” Ethan replied.


    “I am ready,” Edmond stated.


    “Then, let the duel begin!’ Professor Barret stated.


    Just as the start of the duel was dered, Ethan dropped the spear in his hands and said, “Ibar.”


    A momentter, a ming spear flew toward Edmond at lightning speed, leaving a zing trail behind it.


    The Grand Archmage arched an eyebrow as the ming spear collided with him, causing a powerful explosion to erupt within the arena.


    A fiery inferno raged in the location where Edmond had stood earlier, which made Nicole nce toward Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret, who both had unreadable expressions on their faces.


    Just as the youngdy thought that Ethan managed to seed inunching a surprise attack on the Grand Archmage of the Kingdom, Edmond’s words reached her ears.


    “Not bad.”


    From within the zing inferno, a voice filled with amusement spoke, and a secondter, the mes dispersed, revealing the Grand Archmage who hadn’t moved from his spot.


    “If I were an ordinary Wizard, the battle might have ended with that attack of yours,” Edmondmented.


    Ethan raised his hand and said “Athibar” making Areadbhair return to his hand.


    The moment his hand touched the spear, it once again flew toward Edmond’s direction, which made the corner of the Grand Archmage’s lips curl up.


    ‘Is this kid messing with me?’ Edmond thought because Ethan was using the same attack against him. ‘I’m sure that he isn’t a one-trick pony.’


    The Grand Archmage once again deployed his shield, but at thest minute, he tapped the ground with his staff and vanished from where he was standing, reappearing high up in the air.


    Ethan’s spear which was flying in a straight line earlier, made an upward turn, following the Grand Archmage who had teleported away from it.


    Edmond was still smiling, but his smile didn’t reach his eyes.


    He then pointed his staff at the iing spear and said.


    “Ultima Exitium!”


    A white fireball materialized from the tip of Edmond’s staff, making Professor Rinehart and Professor Barret frown.


    The spell, Ultima Exitium, was one of Edmond’s signature attacks, and it had strong destructive powers.


    For him to use this spell this early in the battle meant that the threat that the ming spear that Ethan was using was the real deal.


    When the White Fireball and the ming Spear collided, something interesting happened.


    The mes were devoured by the ming Spear, and its entire body zed with white mes, making Edmondugh.


    Nicole didn’t know if thisugh was that of amusement or annoyance, but for some reason, she was leaning more on the annoyance part because the Grand Archmage’s expression became serious as he raised his staff once again.


    This time, he no longer cast a spell.


    Instead, he swung his staff, making it collide with the ming Spear that had absorbed one of his strongest fire-based spells.


    A powerful explosion erupted in the arena, sending powerful gusts of fiery wind in every direction.


    Ethan’s long hair and robes fluttered in the wind, but he remained standing tall, looking at the destruction that was unleashed when he slightly unsealed the power that was sleeping within the Spear that had ended countless lives, and set entire battlefields aze, once upon a time.
