Chapter 72 68 - Arcana Academy Entrance Exams VIII

"Only five minutes left guys! Let's go for the win!" a male candidate suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, spurring all the other candidates around him to respond affirmatively and with re-invigorated shouts.

They only needed to survive for a few more minutes and the exams would be over!

Just a few more minutes and they were definitely going to come out on top! But no! That was all that these proud few that were left wanted!

Spurred on by Aiden and Flynn's dominating performance, they all wanted to not just come out on top.

Now, they wanted a complete victory over the robotic creatures that were left!

As a result, the remaining candidates began to will the last of their mana reserves and strengths to battle their remaining robotic adversaries and once again, the arena became extremely chaotic and lively as spells and weapon arts began to fly around here and there, along with the roar of the excited audience!

Following the battle cry from the remaining candidates that were left, Adrian and Beatrice Adencia had taken to the skies almost immediately along with some other candidates that were mostly young nobles. They had now also began battling with the vipertalons while using their [Flaming Phoenix] spell to summon their flaming azure birds.

Both of them, along with other candidates, especially the young nobles, who could use flight spells of their own had realized one thing after watching Flynn battling the robotic hybrid birds in the air.

If Flynn could effortlessly destroy them with a few attacks of his katana, despite probably only having C-rank core by now, then they could too!

However, the moment they, along with the few other candidates that had taken to the skies, actually began battling the vipertalons, they came to a stark realization that battling in the air, despite having even higher core ranks than the silvery green-haired youth, was not as easy as he made it seem.

It was almost as if this was a battle style solely made for him to utilize.

Considering most of them also could not utilize mana sense the way Flynn could, they were actually struggling to stay in control of the flow of their battle with the large robotic birds at mid-air.

Beatrice and Adrian on the other hand, despite still not used to battling at mid-air, were holding their own quite well.

Flynn however, kept destroying every vipertalon that he so much as crossed paths with. The youth once again jumped into the air, skillfully performing another spinning side flip to evade two vipertalons who had wanted to pincer him from his left and right side, each of them slightly above and below the other as they tried to attack him with their gleaming metallic claws.

Both of them swooshed past him almost harmlessly though, the metallic blades of their feathers nicking a few strands of his hair in the process despite his best efforts to completely evade them.

The green aquamarine-eyed youth who had been spinning at mid-air nonetheless, had noticed from a slight glance towards to the arena grounds, that the robotic frost serpent was regenerating rapidly despite his brother's attacks completely decimating it along with a bunch of other candidate's magic spells and weapon arts that had now ganged up on it.

'Probably those mana orbs littered around its body…' Flynn thought to himself.

'It'll need a singular strike that can destroy all of the cores in an instant' he had quickly summarized inwardly.

Following the end of his spinning flip though, Flynn had promptly reverted his attention back to the robotic birds and had immediately controlled and repositioned two of his slates at his feet while controlling the other four to spin dangerously like a fan, immediately using them to sear through the metallic wings of the vipertalons in an instant and causing them to plummet to the ground.

"How are you even managing that crazy movement?!" Adrian had suddenly asked Flynn in curiosity with a shout while flying close to him as he himself beheaded the head of a vipertalon skillfully, its black oil spraying about in the air.

"Practice! Lots of practice!" Flynn had answered Adrian's question with a shout of his own as he glanced downwards for a moment, noticing that Aiden was leading the massive frost serpent towards and directly underneath him.

Flynn then said something to Adrian upon noticing what his brother was about to do.

"Adrian!" he called out to the prince.

"Yeah?!" Adrian answered swiftly.

"Can you rally everyone to go back towards the ground in the next few seconds?" Flynn had asked, his hair fluttering in the wind.

The red-haired prince thought to himself for a split second before he then answered affirmatively while also asking another question.

"Sure! But what are you planning to do?" "I'm not really planning to do anything! My brother on the other hand seems to have a pretty crazy idea…" Flynn had responded.

"However, I'll guarantee that both the frost serpent and most of the vipertalons will be taken out! You have my word!" Flynn continued while cutting the metallic wings of another vipertalon that had charged towards him with his katana.

"That doesn't explain anything but fine! I'll do what I can. You owe me for this Flynn!" Adrian replied and almost immediately, he released a bellowing shout like a seasoned commander.

"The Frost Serpent is heading for us all! Everyone, position yourselves to head to the ground and attack it. Leave the vipertalons to Flynn Belmont!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At first, the few candidates that were battling in the air were a bit confused by Adrian's sudden command but most of the nobles, after knowing just how shrewd of an individual he was, instantly heeded his command and soon enough, every other candidate followed suit.

The audience however was now being taken for another rollercoaster ride as they wondered what exactly their Crown Prince and Flynn Belmont were up to.

A few minutes prior to Adrian's bellowing command though, Aiden on the other hand, along with other candidates who kept attacking the massive frost serpent with their weapon arts and spells, were getting quite frustrated at how annoyingly fast the slithering robotic creature was regenerating.

Amelia, along with Bryan who had now also ganged up on the massive serpent with Aiden and the other candidates, had blown many gaping holes through the expanse of its long windy metallic torso with their {Dawnbreaker Art}, and even then, it still healed at a rapid pace.

Ivar along with the black-haired lady he had also saved, whose name he had found out to be Maya Arendelle, had also arrived at the scene of the candidates battling the giant frost serpent and instantly released their spells at its silvery yet frosty metallic body too.

Even Ben Steelblade had sliced off the robotic creature's head again with a released emission of a dangerous silver arc of his bastard sword while using his {Crestfall Art} while Lucas simultaneously released a thunderous lightning spell towards said severed head.

However, even that had not stopped the massive serpent from regenerating its metallic head. By now though, the audience watched while seating at the edge of their seats, hoping that these young aspiring rankers would be able to bring down the serpent, despite both they and the candidates themselves knowing that they only needed to survive the entrance exams till the timer stopped.

Derek's words for some reason, along with Aiden and Flynn's performance had ignited a spark in them and had forced them to want to prove the academy wrong!

They could not defeat the monster?! Was Arcana Academy looking down on them?!

Then, if that was the case, then they most definitely would defeat the massive robotic serpent even if the theme of the entrance exam was survival. They wanted to not just prevail now.

Now, they wanted to come out completely victorious!

Aiden however upon noticing that only a singular clean strike would destroy the giant slithering robotic creature without causing it to regenerate, had slowly began to lure it towards his brother.

Upon reaching directly underneath where Flynn was, Aiden along with the other candidates, heard Adrian's bellowing words of command and watched as the candidates in the air, rapidly began racing downwards to attack the giant robotic frost serpent.

Aiden however, instantly tensed his legs and dashed upwards at a phenomenal speed as Flynn himself dashed downwards at the exact same time, leaving behind and positioning all of his mana slates in the air like a small floating platform, directly beneath Aiden's feet.

This sudden switcheroo did not go unnoticed by the audience and a lot of other candidates were also taken aback by what both brothers were doing.

As Flynn fell from the sky with seemingly no way of landing, the youth repositioned his legs to face downwards and reinforced his legs with mana. Using the force of the momentum he was gaining from suddenly dropping from the sky, the silvery green-haired youth landed on the robotic frost serpent's head with a ridiculously powerful yet brutal curb stomp that brought the creature down to the ground with a thunderous bang, dust and frost rising and clouding everywhere as it happened. This sudden attack had caught not just the candidates themselves off guard but even the viewing audience too.

However, as the air of frost and dusty particles settled and the gigantic serpent slowly began to raise its head back up, everyone watched as the youth raised his katana upwards with both of his hands, his fingers gripping tightly onto the hilt of his weapon as a pale blue hue began to emanate from his body.

Simultaneously, Aiden had landed on Flynn's mana slates safely and took the stance his weapon art required when it needed to be used, a reddish dark hue releasing from his body even as he was now about to be attacked by some vipertalons while others were about to dash downwards to attack the other candidates.

Now, in one synchronous movement, Flynn and Aiden released both of their weapon arts with a roar that defied the heavens.

"{Moonveil Art – First Form: Severance}!!!"

"{Berserker Art – First Form: Whirlwind Slash}!!!"

Following the devastating release of their weapon arts, the air crackled with electrifying intensity as a bluish white arc descended on the gargantuan robotic frost serpent, completely obliterating all of it in an instant while the atmosphere in the air, swirled with dangerous intensity as a massively large twister tornado suddenly emerged out of thin air and pulled in every surrounding robotic hybrid bird present in the sky like an infernal vortex, completely reducing them to a mangled, unrecognizable mess of metals and wires.
