Last day of the Exam

"Moonlight Technique: Fourth Form - Niflheim!" they chanted together.

A blinding light enveloped the area as icy winds swirled around the bear.

The ground beneath it froze, and its lower body was encased in thick ice, immobilizing it temporarily.

The temperature dropped sharply, and the surrounding area was cloaked in an eerie, cold mist.

Agni, Mira, and Bazel wasted no time.

"Fire Magic: Hell Inferno!" Agni shouted, launching a torrent of flames at the beast.

Mira followed with "Fire Magic: Burning Sun!" sending a concentrated blast of fire, while Bazel unleashed.

"Fire Magic: Dragon's Breath!" a stream of searing flames.

The combined fire spells collided with the frozen bear, creating a spectacular display of elemental power.

The area lit up with the intense glow of the flames, but despite their best efforts, the bear remained unscathed, its thick hide absorbing the attacks.

Zane transformed, his body morphing into a powerful wolf form.

"Beast Transformation Magic: Wolf Monarch!" he roared, his claws and fangs glowing with energy.

He lunged at the bear, slashing with a wave of his claws and fangs.

The ferocity of his attack was impressive, but it barely left a mark on the beast.

The other participants also launched their strongest attacks.

Azalea Riverwind summoned a massive wave with "Water Magic: Tides of Destiny,"

Kieran Pecunia unleashed a barrage of stone spikes with "Earth Spirit Magic: Behemoth's Roar,"

and Prince Aelric himself joined the assault with "Verdant King's Second Form: Thorn Barrage," sending a flurry of razor-sharp vines at the beast.

Despite the onslaught of powerful spells and techniques, the bear remained largely unaffected.

The Frostveil twins' ice began to crack, and the bear's movements grew more violent as it started to break free from its icy prison.

The beast unleashed a thunderous roar, sending arcs of lightning coursing through the air around it.

Everyone was exhausted, having used nearly all of their mana in the previous attacks.

"We need to run!" Prince Aelric shouted, urging everyone to retreat.

But the bear's roar paralyzed them with fear, and they couldn't move.

Mira was the closest to the bear when it raised its massive paw, ready to strike.

"Mira!!!" Bazel shouted in desperation.

At that moment, Oasis appeared, his eyes locked on the impending danger.

After oasis's arrival...

His aura flared with determination and power as he prepared to confront the formidable beast.

"I couldn't even read his movements. Who is this?" Prince Aelric thought, eyes wide with surprise.

"You're finally here," Amilia murmured faintly, leaning on her sister's shoulder for support.

"Oasis, run!!" Zane shouted from a distance, unable to move any longer.

"He's powerful," Oasis thought, locking eyes with the bear.

The Thunderclaw Bear's eyes mirrored his intensity.

"Wind Magic: Whirling Tempest," Oasis whispered calmly, as a vortex of wind formed in his hands.

He moved swiftly, striking the bear simultaneously with the bear's thunderous claw.

The clash of wind and thunder created a shockwave that forced both Oasis and the bear back, their powers nearly equal in strength.

As they both regained their footing, Oasis began circling the bear, mirroring its movements.

They launched their next attacks, blow after blow, the wind and thunder colliding with each strike.

Each clash was marked by powerful gusts of wind and crackling arcs of lightning, tearing through the surrounding trees and ground.

Oasis's clothes started to tear from the intensity, revealing his toned muscular body and the pendant around his neck.

"He's smiling... is there such a person in the kingdom?" Prince Aelric thought, astonished.

"So this is a D-rank beast's strength," Oasis thought, feeling both exhilarated and challenged.

"They've been at each other for an hour already. This kid is strong," a shadowy figure observed from a distance, cloaked in the attire of a Verdantia elite guard.

As the exchange continued, the bear unleashed more terrifying energy, hitting Oasis with a powerful attack that sent him crashing into a nearby tree.

Blood trickled from his mouth.

"Damn it, I can't move. I let my guard down," Oasis thought, struggling to rise from under the tree.

"He's done for," Prince Aelric thought.

As the bear moved toward Oasis, who was bleeding under the tree, the phoenix tattoo on Oasis's body began to glow.

!!!

"Let me take over, kid," a voice echoed in his mind. Realizing that Azura, was awake, Oasis gave in.

"Phoenix King Magic: Caecus," Azura spoke through Oasis.

A controlled mist enveloped the area, temporarily blinding everyone present, including those watching in the arena.

"What is that cloud of mist?" people in the arena murmured in confusion.

"I have to move closer. The kids might be in danger," the guard thought, stepping out of the shadows.

"Oh, this body is not bad," Azura mused, drawing a sword from the bracelet.

"Die, ugly beast. Phoenix Dance Secret Technique: Sixth Form—Eternal Flames."

Azura's voice was calm yet deadly as he unleashed the technique, slashing through the bear in an instant.

The bear's head separated from its body, and blue flames erupted from the wound, consuming the beast.

As the mist dissipated, Oasis emerged holding the severed head of the bear in one hand and his sword in the other, blood pouring from the beast.

"It's over," he declared as the guard arrived at the scene.

Everyone in the clearing stared in stunned silence.

"He did it... He actually did it," Zane whispered, awe-struck.

"I've never seen anything like this," Amiliana said, her voice trembling.

"Who is this kid?" Bazel wondered aloud.

Before anyone could react further, Oasis's strength left him, and he collapsed.

Mira, reacting quickly, caught him before he hit the ground, holding him close.

"Oasis... Oasis..." she whispered, hugging him tightly.

"This kid is a beast," the guard thought, shaking his head in disbelief.

He stepped forward, raising his voice to announce, "The exam is over. Prepare for transportation."

As the guard began to activate the transportation array, murmurs of awe and admiration spread through the participants, each one realizing they had witnessed something extraordinary.

The array glowed with a soft light, enveloping everyone and signaling the end of their trial in the mystical forest.
