"What will you do now, old man? Your barrier will only last a few hours!" Sebastian yelled, flying in front of the barrier, launching some powerful attacks from time to time.

Nefion was there, as well as were the rest of the students. Anyone who had the seventh circle would fight and protect not only the continent, but the continent itself!

Only these two schools were fighting against each other. The reason? They were the only ones who had the back of a rank 3 mage. It did not matter if the others schools came, Sebastian would wipe all of them with ease.

So, no one came to help Ouroboros, and the same could be said for the Blood Spear Academy.

"Lord, please make it in time!" Nefion thought.

Sweat dripped from his forehead, but a fire grew inside of him. He was not willing to lose and die before finding his brother. Before avenging all of his dragon friends who died in the hand of these so-called \'gods\'.

The reason for Nefion\'s worry was because Arthur would not make it in time! He trained like a madman for the entire month, but would not be present the moment the barrier broke. But when Nefion came to check up on him, he did some calculations and was sure Arthur would be ready two hours after the attack, which meant he would have to deal with Sebastian for two hours!

Would he be able to do it? No one knew, but Nefion would sure fight with everything on the line, just like all the other students who did not wish to see the continent fell on the hands of such evil person.

"Old man, you can try it, but you will never win against me. Don\'t worry, after I am done here, I will kill everyone else on this shit continent, and then go to the other continents do the same. Hahahaha!!!" Sebastian said, laughing like a crazy person.

The first thing Nefion thought when hearing that was his family. Eleonora, his daughter, was still on the other continent, and that was something which gave him a peace of mind during the war, but now Sebastian said he would dominate the other continents as well!

"Shut up, you bastard."

He did not say more, as actions spoke louder than words, and Nefion will use all drops of power to stop that man, even if it took his life.

While the two sides were preparing to clash on a battle, Arthur meditated inside his room, trying his best to transform all the gained mana into Spiritual Force, on his way to the rank 3!

It was so close, yet felt like an impossible step to make. What could he do to reach the next level? Could he do it in time? At that moment, a familiar voice echoed inside his time.

"Kiddo, I am away for a few months and you end up in such a dangerous situation? Why is a rank 3 mage trying to kill you?"

"Ikarus!"

The blue bird, an existence beyond his comprehension who helped him get his hands on the inheritance from the Blood Monarch, and also gave him the lightning essence.

"Yo. Are you close to reaching rank 3? Not bad, kid."

Arthur saw Ikarus\' appearance as a sign of hope. He was trying everything to take the last step and reach the rank 3, but nothing worked. But now, with the help of Ikarus, then maybe he could do it.

"Can you help me reach rank 3? I am trying everything, yet it does not work."

"Well, that\'s because you need a tier 13 spell. Do you know one?"

"Can\'t I just use my essences to boost the spells up to rank 13?"

"No, that is not how it works anymore. You can do it to any spell from tier 12 and below, but tier 13 spells can only be found in the universe or created if you are a genius. That is one reason the rank 3 mages often leave their planets, to find more spells, thus increasing their power and their chance of reaching rank 4." Ikarus answered him like a teacher to a kid.

"Fuck. Then how am I supposed to get a tier 13 spell here? Can I get one from Nefion?"

"Nefion? Who is this?"

"An old man who is also a dragon."

"Oh, no you can\'t."

"Why is that?"

"I don\'t know if you can call it spells, since spells are a thing for mages, but the skills are unique to each dragon, just like with all the other magical creatures. You cannot use the skill Nefion has to advance. Also, I am pretty sure this Nefion was way stronger than a rank 3 mage, and just lost his powers, because a newborn dragon is already stronger than a rank 1 mage."

Arthur heard that and felt hopeless. There was nothing he could do to get a tier 13 spell when stuck in that room. Not only that, but where could he get one on this planet?

"So how do all the others advance in rank 3 while living on this planet?" Arthur asked.

"They probably have an old scroll with a tier 13 spell, passed down by their generations to help someone with talent when the time is right. Pretty common in most planets."

"Can you have?"

"Well, I can, but of failure."

"Explain."

"Remember the inheritance you have? From the Blood Monarch, an existence stronger than anything we know? I told you I could open a small portion of it when you reach rank 3, but you aren\'t there yet, but we can still open and get our hands in some of his memories."

"Memories which will have a tier 13 spell for me to use!"

"Correct. But we fail because of your meager power, and both of us will die."

"Well, if I don\'t reach rank 3, we will die either way, right?"

"You have a point, kiddo. Can I unseal a part of the memory for you then?"

Arthur did not answer. He first thought about it, and share it with his wives, who were also meditating close to him. They did not like the idea of a life-and-death situation to get a tier 13 spell, but they weren\'t stupid, so they knew it was the only way to reach rank 3.

"We both trust you will make it, husband."

They shared some kisses before it, and then it was time for the real thing.

"I am ready." Arthur said.

Ikarus then channeled his power to unseal a part of the inheritance, and the moment that happened, the pain Arthur sensed was something he never felt before.

Lots of images flashed inside his mind, as if someone was inserting a memory card in his head, the brute forcing this knowledge, a knowledge he was not supposed to have.

The pain in his mind grew larger and larger, until a point where Arthur passed out, making both of his wives concerned.

"He is still breathing!"

At least they knew he was not dead, but what exactly was happening inside his mind?

~~~~

The barrier of Ouroboros finally broke, and Sebastian laughed like a madman, calling out Nefion for a fight. They left the area to fight in a more remote place to not harm their students.

Noises of spells and weapons clashing echoed as a battle between students from both schools occurred, causing the death of many.
