Solace rested the axe on his shoulder he had summoned on his shoulder, the axe was of a single side and was huge for normal human standard but in solace's current form it fit perfectly, the body of the axe's blade was filled with countless runes and the tips of the blade was pitch black absorbing and attracting most of the light in its vicinity, the projection of a sea spread out from solace, the sea was golden red, it was composed of countless light and fire elemental particles, this was the projection of solace spirit sea.

When a wizard reached level 2 it would start to liquefy the mist that filled the soul space, and to reach the next limit the sea needs to be solidified, releasing ones spirit sea projection was the ultimate move of a level two wizard who specialized in elements, the sea would connect with the outside world and provide countless energy for the wizard to perform spells and aid in combat.

Although all this seemed like a long time but it only took a few seconds for solace to perform all his preparations.

Lin Wei watched calmly as the sky was filled with his opponent's spirit sea projection but his glowing red eyes and his sword intent become richer reaching a point it could not be increased again, although his real body was a level 4 master the amount of knowledge the clone had and the power it could use was limited to that of level 2, he could feel the rich elements that filled the air now which would make any other practitioners frightened but Lin Wei wasn't bothered in the least the sword intent he practiced was that of blood and it had the ability to corrode the elements making its lethality greatly reduced and all sword master with sword intent had the ability to cut elemental energy attacks.

Solace and Lin Wei stared at each other waiting for any flaws that might appear, they stood there for a few moments and suddenly a blazing sun emerged in front of Lin Wei, the longsword which was now practically teeming with red light screamed as it went through the air cutting the attack in two, the attack that was cut in two dispersed to reveal an empty sky solace was already behind Lin Wei swinging his axe at such speeds that left a residual slash in the air, before the axe reached Lin Wei's neck it had already been blocked by the longsword, it was unknown when Lin Wei had twisted his arm 180 degrees backward making the sword arrive in time to stop the horrifying axe, as the weapons collided loud booms occurred and another sun appeared and engulfed Lin Wei.

Solace quickly distanced himself from Lin Wei and almost immediately another red sword slash flew out of the explosion almost hitting solace, Lin Wei appeared from the smoke his robe now torn, he tore the remnants of the robe on his body leaving only the tattered trousers revealing his thin body filled with compact muscles, his ever present sword intent had begun compressing toward his sword making it more deadly and difficult to deal with, he had begun sacrificing his defense for offense but his body that was made up of basically only blood this act would not affect him too much.

Solace too had begun compressing his spirit sea and the elements present had begun flooding to his body making his body have more energy and some parts of golden armor had begun to appear on his body. They both flashed towards each other not letting themselves to complete their respective transformations, more red sword marks and explosions filled the air destroying the surroundings for miles even affecting the nearby wizard tower.

The power after each confrontation became stronger and stronger the sun solace created with each sword cleave became more compact and hot, while Lin Wei slashes became more sharper and corrosive making the elements present become more sluggish even the slashes had begun to make the surrounding space weak, a sudden space crack appeared in the middle of their confrontation and they both separated quickly avoiding the turbulence.

Solace had most of his body already covered in golden knight armor, making him look like a handsome medieval knight only his face and neck were not yet covered still showcasing his handsome face that was already bleeding profusely staining the armor, a cut had appeared on his face reaching down to his neck Lin Wei had taking advantage of the flaw that appeared when they separated to make an attack on solaces face aiming to sever his neck, although the cut was not deep as Solace had dodged at the last moment he was still bleeding profusely, every of Lin Wei's attack was filled with sword intent that made wounds hard to heal and had a corroding nature that made the inflicted weak and prone to bleeding.

Solaces face started steaming and in a few seconds the blood had evaporated along with the injury, Lin Wei on the other hand had scorch and slash marks allover his chest, there was a particular large wound that almost split him in half this was the price of focusing purely on attacks, but his body soon started squeaking and soon the wound and marks disappeared, Lin Wei's body was basically liquid it was made of blood and so any attack that couldn't kill him at once was basically ineffective as it could be easily solved later, this was why he so easily focused his intent all on his sword.

Soon all the sword intent seemed to disappear but Solace knew this was the most dangerous moment the sword intent had been fully compressed and so not visible anymore, Solaces armor had basically been completed already his face already covered and a red cape fluttering behind making him look like a huge knight his spirit sea projection basically gone, both had basically been promoted to their strongest state and they flew toward each other intending to end it soon.
