Legend of the Immortal

One Strike

Training Centre.

Looks of shock appeared on the spectators' faces as they saw the head overseer.

He was a mysterious being that came and went as he pleased.

With a presence so magnanimous that even the king of this region, Chester Elliot IV, Arceus' father, and the other six schools' head overseers could match up in reputation.

Yet, this man, the one who radiated power, was acting polite towards the silver haired girl?

"Well how about it miss?" The head overseer asked.

Belle smirked and put out one finger,"One strike. It's a game I enjoy playing. I'll use one spell and if you can even lay a single finger on me...I'll make sure the next grand king of the northern region is you. Though...if you lose...I would hope you let me rent this place fully once a week. How does that sound?" Bell's words were heard extremely clearly.

"Your Majesty is truly daring...Though I cannot compare, if I can level up through this...! It will be worth it! Please start!" The head overseer bowed and unleashed his presence, causing the lower levelled people to feel suffocated.

Arceus sighed and clasped his hands together,"I pray for head overseer to be treated well in death."

"What? Why? She clearly is only at level three hundred or so! How can she match up to the likes of the fabled head overseer!" Dawn shouted.

Arceus' eyes narrowed,"Watch closely."

Belle laughed, unperturbed by the head overseer's actions,"Joel! You're going all out today? Looks like i'll have to teacher little boys where their places are!"

Belle tapped the red gem on her chest and released some of her suppressed might.

From what she could see, the overseer looked to be about level ten thousand and fifty

So, she brought herself to about two times his level, level twenty thousand and released her terrifying aura that oppressed the one that the head overseer let out.

"How is it? This is a small fraction of my strength since I don't want to kill you...But here goes...One move as promised! [Shadow Reincarnation].

From all directions underneath Belle's feet, four shadows appeared, none matching Belle's shape nor figure.

One seemed to be a giant dragon, another a humongous bird, on the other was colossal wolf and behind Belle, there was a demon-angel hybrid.

Belle smirked as she stood her ground,"Behold, this spell uses my powers to summon back four things i've killed in the past and restores them to a mere fraction of a fraction of my actual power though...if i'm telling the truth...One of these would be enough to kill you, let alone four. So be my guest."

The head overseer patted Melody's shoulder,"Disciple. Watch the fight closely. You might be able to gleam something from this fight."

"Yes teacher." Melody replied, watching Belle intensely, a fearful light in her eyes.

"What the..." Julian stared in utmost shock at the spectacle and shivered.

To think he was trying to pursue her, he knew that if he even wronged her once, he would die.

The headmaster took out a battle axe.

"This battle axe is one that i've used since i've hit level six hundred! Behold! [Guillotine]!"

The head overseer ran out charging towards the stationary Belle, axe in hand.

Just as he got a few hundred meters away, from the ground, four unholy creatures rose from the floor unceremoniously.

Belle only stood there, smiling arrogantly at the head overseer as if he were dog meat.

Seeing this, he smiled back savagely as he swung his axe, smashing the jaw of the dragon away.

"Four beasts...all mythical beasts i've had part in making and destroying. The [Dragon Immortal], [Everlasting Phoenix], [Starlet Wolf] and [Cataclysm]. Each one held world breaking power, now reduced to being a mere shadow puppet for me to control...Quite amusing wouldn't you say?" Belle laughed.

The bird rushed forward, black flames erupting on its body, engulfing the head overseer in black flames that caused him to scream in ceaseless agony, causing absolute fear in the student's eyes towards Belle.

Then, the wolf charged forward and inhaled deeply, raising its head to the sky, its eyes shining a brilliant white as it left streaks of light.

The wolf's head violently came down, a burst of yellowish white flames bursting from its mouth, engulfing the field in a brilliant golden light as it barrelled towards the head overseer.

Upon contact, the overseer was blown away, clothing tattered with blood oozing down his body until he was beyond recognition.

The dragon roared mightily as it froze the overseer's legs, causing it to feel like it was on fire though it was encased within ice.

"GRAHHHH!" The head overseer roared, enduring his pain as he raised the axe decisively to break the ice.

Then, the three shadows melded into the [Cataclysm] which was a culmination of all good yet all evil at the same time.

In both its hands, it held two very recognisable swords.

Excalibur, the sword of light, the bringer of justice.

The other was the Coward's Blade, for a coward who lusted for women, gluttonous and greedy, wishing for control.

The swords were identical yet radiated opposite feelings, as if diametrically opposed.

The [Cataclysm] swung both swords, causing the air to screech from the mighty swing.

The head overseer saw the two swords heading for him and experienced the phenomenon of 'life flashing before one's eyes'.

He closed his eyes as he reflected on his past.

Then, he knew, if he died this way, under the hand of a god, he would have no regrets.

Accepting his fate, he stared straight at the oncoming swords, unflinching even in the familiar face of death, unwilling to submit.

The swords streamed through the air, creating two violent arcs in the air as the cleaved towards the overseer.

However, just as the swords were about to tear and behead him, they stopped, just pricking the skin on his neck.

The overseer laughed,"To lose in such a grand miserable fashion! Truly! Your highness is unfathomable!" He put his hands up as a sign of defeat, leaving many staring in shock.

The head overseer had been completely dominated throughout the battle, without a single breath allowed for himself as one spell could have practically killed him a million times over.

This level of power and ruthlessness was something that sparked ambition within the students.

Belle laughed as the swords left the head overseer's side.

The four shadows disappeared and Belle's normal shadow appeared behind her again.

Walking forward, she pulled the head overseer up and healed him.

"As expected of her highness...Your healing power is just as mighty as your killing efficiency. I wonder...was that a dark spell you used?" The head overseer asked as they chatted regularly as if nothing had happened before them.

"That was actually the demonic affinity. It's something I developed a while back when trying to master it....I have a few tips I can give..." They walked off with Melody following behind, taking notes and listening very attentively.

Gracie who was Belle waving her hand to dismiss her, saw Arceus and his friends and decided to meet them.

When Arceus and his friends saw her walking towards them, they froze.

The spectators of the battle stared the the group with envy as well as fear, unable to tell what this student of the terrifying lady would do.

Arriving in front of the group Gracie opened her mouth.

"Yo."
