Chapter 106: Arthremis II

'Semi convert. 

Elemental conversion rune - 51%

Spiritual matter rune - 21%' 

Just from their names, you can tell they weren't normal. Both of these runes were high end runes with immense power and uniqueness. The elemental conversion rune had the power to change the state of elementals while the spiritual matter rune was closely related to spirits, and their state of being. 

They weren't top-tier runes but they had the power of one. Just like the spiritual energy rune of Fey. 

Although he didn't quite know of the path they would evolve into, it was sure that they wouldn't be something weak. 

He was powerful. Very powerful at that. He could be considered to be in the high-tier among the second stage students and at the top-tier among first-stage students. Of course, we also can't exclude the seniors of first-stage who were just as excellent. 

Although it seems that this generation of newcomers were slightly special. 

For example, him, Fanton, Arthremis, Huang Shui and a few others that had caught his eye. 

It could be said that he had been truly laying low during his three years of stay within the academy. He had done nothing but firmly etch the basics and fundamentals of spirit research. 

He had also been building his power as he wasn't considered that much powerful within the academy. 

So for now, he had only obtained their basic data. Complicated data like weakness and potential weren't obtained. 

Although he wasn't going to act on a major scale, smaller scales like closing to the targets and obtaining their data would happen. 

The time on the spaceship can't be wasted. It was a kind of chance for him and once he let go of it, he could only wait until the next chance came which he didn't know when it would come. 

Arthremis was only one of the targets for him. From the seven different individuals, he can't waste all his time on him. 

"Where is Fikkun" the voice of Arthremis rang out. 

The voice sounded arrogant yet also stable, like the person knew their limits. This was confidence. 

"Leader is resting and won't be coming. Instead of the leader, I, as the vice leader, would be organizing the match." said a person with blue skin and a horn on his head. 

"Huh? He said he was going to come, why isn't he coming then? Did he cower out?" the slightly dissatisfied voice of Arthremis came out. Along with the dissatisfied voice was a bit of a mocking tone, as if mocking the leader for escaping from the match without putting up a real fight. 

"I said he's resting, he's not escaping the match! He's not a person who would cower out against the likes of you" 

"Then make him come out. What's he so afraid of? It's not fun bullying weak people like you; only semi converts should fight semi converts" 

"Argh, then come, bastard! I was going to show it off to leader to surprise him later but I will just show it now!" The anger was obvious within his words. 

Considering their leader had just been defeated by an unknown person and he wasn't able to do anything to help the situation, he had been upset all along. And now that the leader that had truly been injured was being said as a coward, he would obviously break out in a fit of anger. 

As soon as his words came out, the blue skin person's aura started to explosively rise up, transcending the normal second-tiers before stagnating at the aura of a semi convert. However, instead of the usual aura of a semi convert, it felt as if it had just reached this realm recently, being very unstable. 

It was likely he had only broken through a day or two ago. 

Unsurprisingly, the second semi convert had been born within the Flaming Hands faction. 

Everyone would advance after these kinds of missions happened. Although the result may not be instantaneous, it will surely come out sooner or later. 

People would surely have advanced in power a lot. 

Not to mention the various treasures and opportunities, the reward of the mission itself was bountiful. 

"Oh, so you are a semi convert then? Although it may be boring without Fikkun, I guess I will fight out today's match then." a small grin appeared on Arthremis' face. It looked just as if he had achieved his purpose.

"The combat arena is that way." after the vice leader guided them into a large room set up for the purpose of fighting, he immediately started to prepare. 

Even if he was angry, he wasn't stupid enough to underestimate Arthremis and think he could beat him easily. 

"Come on then. Who are the three opponents and who shall I defeat first" currently, he was radiating a carefree aura as if he wasn't worried by the upcoming matches at all. 

Considering his power, it truly was no challenge for him even if Fikkun came. It was probable that even if this vice leader and Fikkun joined hands, they would lose to him. 

"I will go first and shut your blabbery mouth!" after saying this, he opened his arms and grabbed at the air in front of him. As if there was really something in front of him, slowly, fire elements started to condense in the air, forming a giant fireball. 

The fire looked especially hot, as if it would burn down a person to a crisp within a moment. 

Watching it form, Arthremis did nothing. He just looked on from the sides, as if he was the audience instead of the fighter. 

Considering his power, it really would be more beneficial for him if the opponent was attacking him with elementals. 

"Defeat him!" 

"Regain the honor of the Flaming Hands group!" 

Although there were also the occasional cheers, they weren't as loud and as much as the fight between Cylius and Fikkun. They were in a bad mood after receiving that defeat and didn't really feel like cheering now. 

Most of them stayed silent, not bothering to cheer at all. 

As the ball of fire started to accumulate and accumulate the surrounding fire elements, its size also grew along with it, now reaching the size of tens of meters in diameter. 

It was definitely gigantic. 

Any person that it was thrown against would surely burn to ashes. Their ashes might not remain at all. 

'He, what a dumbass. Making me form this. I was cautious at first but seeing now, there is no need at all. He would burn to a crisp!' 

"Go!" the ball of fire stopped accumulating the surrounding fire elements and was immediately shot at Arthremis, who was still standing casually. 

The ball of fire moved at a fast speed, as in the blink of an eye, it had already reached its destination, Arthremis. Even from the sidelines, one could feel its temperature. It was absolutely fiery, burning the air as it passed along. 

"What are you gonna do with this little ball?" Arthremis didn't even seem to be fazed by the fireball at all as he looked on fearlessly. Just as the ball came towards him, he put up his hand and gave it a little touch. 

As soon as he touched the enormous fireball, an incredible scene happened. 

A line of blue, starting from just a little dot became bigger and bigger before changing the scarlet red color of the fireball into a pale blue color. 

It looked just as if a ball of frost was floating. The frost ball also stopped in motion, being just above the hand of Arthremis, it emanated an incredibly chilly cold feeling, making one shudder even while looking at it. 

"Do you understand the difference? Between our strength. You have only entered the semi convert realm recently not to mention the difference between the quality of our runes is also massive. Try if you want; there would be no difference regardless" 

"Impossible!" the vice leader shouted before turning to say a few words again. 

"Then receive this!" he said before holding his hands above his head as many balls of fire formed quickly. Although their power wasn't as strong as the previous one, it definitely wasn't lacking by much. 

After doing that, he muttered a few words of incantation before flames overtook him, turning him into a different creature. 

The creature resembled a spider, one with twelve legs. 

4 of the legs were at the front, serving as its arms as their blades shined sharply.Their arms could basically be said to be sharp blades ready to kill at any time. A set of tattoos was on the creature's back, glowing with a spooky glow. 

"Kii-" the spider charged forward along with the many fireballs. 

All eight of its eyes were concentrated on Arthremis, looking at him as if it ould look at their prey. 

"If you have decided to do so..." saying this, he pulled his longsword out of the air and directed it towards the vice leader. 

The longsword radiated a sense of elegance as it sliced through the air, parrying the attacks of the vice leader that attacked with its legs. 

After a few moments of fighting, Arthremis decided to end the match as his longsword thrust deep into the back of the spider, making the vice leader turn back to his human shape while clutching his heart. 

"Ka-!" he coughed out blood before turing to look towards Arthremis, his eyes containing uncoverable fear. 

"Who's the second one" his mouth opened up, grinning slightly. 

The students were silent. How could they fight against that monster with such strength? They will be defeated in an instant. 

Right at this time, the door opened, revealing Fikkun standing there. 

"I'll be the second"
