Rise of the Lustful Evil Monarch (Re)

Chapter 647: The Icy Void

For the first time in quite a while, a trace of excitement quietly stirred within Ethan’s heart.

His fighting instincts, which had remained dormant for so long, slowly awakened.

Ever since arriving in this world, every opponent he had encountered had fallen into one of two extremes.

Either they had been far weaker than himself, or they had been overwhelmingly stronger.

Very rarely had he encountered someone capable of standing near his own level.

As a result, Ethan himself had never truly understood where his strength stood compared to the greatest young talents of this magical world who were in the same realm as him.

But now, looking at the calm and composed Edhan Icedust, and then toward the wild and imposing Leoric, he felt that answer was finally drawing near.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared within his heart.

Perhaps, the Glaciem Ice Abyss would finally provide him with opponents worthy of drawing out his full strength.

Across the square, Edhan slowly turned his head.

His serene blue eyes met Leoric’s crimson gaze.

They didn’t speak or offer greetings to each other, yet the atmosphere between them subtly changed.

The students immediately sensed it.

"They looked at each other!"

"Do you think they’re going to fight?"

"Please..."

"Just one exchange!"

Excited cries erupted throughout the crowd.

Many students even began pushing forward, fearing they might miss an unexpected battle between the academy’s two greatest geniuses.

Unfortunately for them, both young men merely looked away as though nothing had happened.

Ethan likewise shifted his attention toward the young woman accompanying Leoric.

Seraphina Emberheart.

Although she appeared graceful and composed, the rich fire-element mana quietly radiating from her body immediately drew Ethan’s attention.

The fluctuations were astonishingly pure.

Even before witnessing her cast a single spell, Ethan could already conclude that she was an exceptionally accomplished fire mage.

Just how strong, that was something only battle itself could answer, and he was excited to test it.

As time gradually passed, more and more students, professors, mercenaries, and noble escorts gathered within the enormous academy square.

The once spacious plaza slowly became crowded with thousands of people.

Throughout the gathering, Ethan quietly observed one interesting figure after another.
