Chapter 26: The Escape
Above the academy, the battle had shifted.
Director Adler moved like a force of nature—his presence now tilting the entire fight.
With each strike, each ripple of mana, the three Legendary Spirits were forced to adjust, their perfect balance broken.
Aqua, the massive crystalline whale of water and ice, spiraled upward to avoid Adler’s latest burst of energy, frost shimmering through the clouds.
The Fire Spirit, obsidian-scaled and blazing, roared in frustration—lunging toward Adler but missing by meters as the human twisted away, laughter echoing behind him.
The Gaia Spirit, its great antlers aglow with life energy, sent roots lashing toward Adler’s path—only to have them sliced apart mid-air.
And beneath it all, unseen by the titans above—
Noah moved.
He crouched behind a shattered stone beam, katana sheathed across his back.
His crimson eyes flicked between the pulsing defenses around the collapsed Training Hall.
The barrier was breaking.
