Rebirth of the Ruined Noble



I was holding back on using my skills since they took immense tool on my body, but Winand was not an opponent I could defeat while holding back.

So I decided to go all out.

My stance changed as I raised my sword, holding it with both hands. The blade gleamed with a newfound intensity as I concentrated on activating a powerful skill I had recently acquired. Sweat dripped down my forehead as I struggled to contain its immense power.

"Just a little longer," I whispered to myself, my voice filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension. "I can do this."

Winand who saw me got cautious and cast a water shield before continuing his chant.

But I wasn't concerned, my concentration was drawn to the skill.

Something inside me moved, and black energy rose from my hands like a blazing fire and enclosed my sword.

Beads of sweat dripped down my forehead as I tried to withstand its pressure.

'As I thought, It is still too much for my body.'

Just the one star version of skill was taking this much toll on my body, I couldn't imagine what would happen when I would activate the 5-star level skill.

The sun, now casting its light with a gentle orange hue, seemed to dim behind me as the black energy within my sword surged. It emanated a darkness that seemed to consume the surrounding light, creating an eerie yet captivating sight. The field in front of me turned dark as my sword began to shine, its light not illuminating the surroundings but rather further enclosing the darkness around it.

Before using the skill, I turned to the staff member in charge of the fight, who watched with wide eyes. "I still can't control it, so be ready to stop me," I warned, my voice filled with a mix of determination and concern. The staff member was taken aback by my words, unable to hide his surprise.

But I didn't have time to wait for him. My body was nearing its limit as I channeled the immense power within me. With a resolute mind, I swung my sword aiming directly at Winand, who stood in front of me, prepared to face whatever came his way.

"Black Sun," I exclaimed, my voice filled with a mix of determination and awe.

In an instant, the black energy blazed like a fire, expanding rapidly and transforming into an enormous entity that threatened to engulf the entire arena. The sheer scale of the black energy left the audience momentarily stunned, their eyes fixated on the magnificent display.

Winand, caught off guard by the sudden surge of power, roared in defiance as he completed his own spell. "Sea Serpent!"

A colossal serpent made of water materialized from Winand's staff, charging forward to intercept the colossal black energy hurtling toward him. Despite its size, the sea serpent paled in comparison to the overwhelming force of my Black Sun.

Boom!

Boom! The impact was cataclysmic as the black energy engulfed the sea serpent, reducing it to nothing more than a mist, and continued its relentless advance towards Winand. The sheer power displayed by my skill left even me speechless, my heart pounding in my chest.

The staff member in charge of the fight watched in horror as it became evident that Winand's water shield wouldn't be able to stop my skill.

He was right!

As soon as the black energy came in contact with it, the shield was crushed into countless pieces.

Panic filled the staff's voice as he screamed, "No! Dodge!"

But it was too late. The black energy collided with Winand, and a deafening explosion echoed throughout the arena. A massive dust cloud billowed, obscuring the scene from view. The spectators were taken aback, their breaths caught in their throats as they anxiously awaited the outcome.

"Medical team, emergency!" the staff member urgently called out, fearing the worst. His voice reverberated through the arena as he signaled for immediate medical support. The tension in the air was palpable as the dust gradually settled, revealing the aftermath of the devastating clash.

To everyone's surprise, Winand stood unharmed. 

A golden barrier shielded him from the impact and right before him Professor Iris, Stretching out her hand in defense.

And right in front of him was Professor Iris, with a golden burier covering them both.

The golden barrier created by Professor Iris protected him from the brunt of the attack. However, the impact had created a massive crater beside the barriers, evidence of the overwhelming power unleashed by my skill. The students in the audience exchanged bewildered glances, unable to comprehend the magnitude of the spectacle before them.

Winand collapsed on the ground, his body trembling with a mix of fear and disbelief, as the medical team rushed towards him, their urgent footsteps echoing through the arena. They quickly surrounded him, examining him for any signs of injury or trauma, their expressions a mixture of concern and relief.

Meanwhile, I found myself unable to move, my body drained of energy after channeling the immense power of the Black Sun. The ground beneath me felt cold and unforgiving as I lay there, my mind alert but my limbs unresponsive. It was a testament to the immense toll the skill had taken on me.

Amidst the commotion and the weight of my fatigue, a laughter escaped my lips, "Hehe, I didn't know it was that powerful…"

The laughter held a sense of astonishment, tinged with a touch of satisfaction. I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer magnitude of power that my skill had displayed. It was beyond what I had expected, and a part of me couldn't help but feel a thrill at the realization.

In the midst of this aftermath, one figure stood motionless, lost in a sea of thoughts. It was none other than Professor Iris, her usually composed demeanor shattered by the As Professor Iris's attention turned toward my collapsed form on the floor, a perplexed expression took hold of her face. Her brows furrowed, and a single question echoed in her mind, nearly escaping her lips, "What the hell was that?"
