Chapter 1481: Punishment
Inside the Divine Tower of Ashes, a rare duel between knights was happening.
The tower had its own battle arena, originally built to promote healthy competition among initiates and give full-fledged mages a place to settle their personal disputes.
After all, mages were still human, so disagreements and clashes of interest were bound to happen.
The arena was durable enough to handle battles between Rank Three mages at full power, but few ever had reason to use it.
However, the fight today did not take place in the reinforced arena. It broke out right inside the divine tower itself!
Two battle qi barriers, one crimson and one gold, appeared around the battlefield.
To avoid getting caught up in the fight, most of the onlookers had already raised protective magic shields around themselves.
Among the crowd, the outermost ring was packed with initiates!
Naturally, the young ones were the most excited—after all, a fight between two demigod-level knights was something they almost never got to see.
Even those studying in the library had dropped their books and rushed over at the calls of their friends and classmates.
Fortunately, most classes at the academy were still in session, and not every full-fledged mage was idle enough to come watch.
When Sein rose into the air above the battlefield, things had not completely gotten out of hand yet.
