Going All Out!

"The arcane world trial has begun. Who will be the first to emerge?" The Prime of the Nine True Magus and Magus Reynold stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes, watching the participant fight in the world below.

"James was born in the wild and grew up with beasts for companions. He might be a contender for first place."

The other mages argued.

Not only them but more than 100,000 pairs of eyes were fixed on the arcane world!

10,000 servants, and even more true students of the academy. Even a few core students were present. Throughout the Arcane Dark Hall, there were many mighty students, and yet everyone's focus was on this mini world.

"I guess that Maine will triumph. His inherited spell is extremely powerful!"

"Not necessarily. Seraph is extremely talented, her True Vine Stab is a true killing technique."

The discussions on who would be the first to emerge ensued throughout.

But Sethra was in no mood.

"Tron, that boy. He wears one's heart out. Where did he go?" Sethra was casting her gaze about frantically, but she did not see his return. She wanted to go look, but he was worried that Tron would return and not be able to find her.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed, the air trembled violently and a malevolent soundwave rippled through the surroundings like a tidal wave.

"ROOOOOAR!!!"

An intense pressure descended on the entire path like a mountain. The faces of everyone changed immediately.

"The Crystalline Gorrila has absorbed enough arcane crystals and has awakened its innate bloodline. It might possess the strength of a Pseudo-magical creature!" Maine growled.

The faces of the participants rushing up from behind paled in fear.

Magical creatures are creatures with the innate ability to absorb arcane energy. While they can't manipulate arcane energy, their cells can directly utilize this energy to strengthen their bodies, and even awaken several arcane bloodline spells.

Although they possess magic in their names, Pseudo-magical creatures are unlike Magical creatures. They can't naturally absorb energy but they could consume magical objects or creatures with arcane magic within them like humans and convert them to grow stronger.

Sometimes, successful mutated creatures could forcefully awaken a bloodline, increasing their strength several times and even putting them almost in the same rank as Pseudo-magical creatures.

Luckily it was only an ordinary beast, awakening its bloodline wouldn't increase its strength to a ridiculous amount.

Instantly, the crystal shards on a particular Crystallius Gorrila's body extended out like spikes. The spike lined up along its spine, shoulders, arms, and joints.

Its upper body suddenly trembled and expanded as crystals grew and connected along each other, forming a roughly molded crystal body armor in the body of the beast.

Its body swelled, and its weight was roughly twice that of a normal Crystallius Gorrila. The red of its eyes was currently fading, being replaced with intelligence. Once it gained sentience, it would truly become powerful and even contend with pseudo-arcane creatures.

The transformation scared the participants but the thought of becoming a True Magus overwhelmed their fear. The servants as well as other outside participants continued to charge. Tron also spotted the transforming Crystallius Gorrila now.

"Kill!"

"Rooar! "

This Crystallius Gorrila blocked the end of the road. They had to be eliminated for them to pass.

Maine, Seraph, and James attacked at almost the same time. The three seventh-tier Body Refining Realm cultivators were engaging the Crystallius Gorrila.

The three immediately went all out. Massive amounts of arcane energy surged through the surroundings like a tidal wave.

The grasses and the trees swayed and bowed as arcane energy gathered like a storm.

A burst of arcane energy manifested before Seraph, as glowing triangular lines materialized in a flash of light. Ancient runic signs and languages of the old Gods danced around the triangle, weaving a complicated pattern of mystical power.

Within the circle, a web of nodes and lines emerged, resembling a celestial constellation in the skies, pulsing with energy. As the spell reached its climax, Seraph's eyes shimmered with intensity as mana sipped out of them.

Instantly, she slammed her hands to the ground as she unleashed the spell, arcane energy immediately seeped through the ground.

"Rise!"

Her hands raised above her head with difficulty as arcane strings connected her ten fingers deep in the soil she lifted them upwards with a low growl.

"Rumble!"

The earth trembled in response, as seismic tremors rippled through the ground like a wave. The air was suddenly filled with the scent of damp soil and ozone.

Instantly, a colossal vine that defied nature burst forth from the earth, its thick, gnarled body wrapped in jagged thorns as long as swords. The vine shot toward the beast with unbridled fury.

Here's a revised version with more vivid and detailed language:

James's hand rose, adorned with a modified magical artifact - a bulky, monk-like bracelet that gleamed with a fierce inner light.

His arcane spell was a stark contrast to Seraph's, its colors blazing like infernal flames as the temperature within a ten-meter radius skyrocketed. The air shimmered and distorted as if reality itself was starting to warp.

Five inches before his outstretched hands, a fiery arcane manifestation spark burst forth, kindling into a roaring fireball that blazed like a miniature sun. The flames danced and churned, twisting and as though taking on a life of their own. Suddenly, he flicked his finger.

"Go!"

James bellowed, his voice echoing through the scorching air.

The fireball flew toward the Crystallius Gorrila like a molten meteor!

"Go!"

...

Maine's method was quite different from the two people's. A low roar escaped his lips, the words and his voice coalescing into incantation that grew louder and rumbled like the crackling of thunder.

"Bjorn'harotham!"

Spreading his arms as though hugging the skies, his gauntlets glowed as the jewels embedded within the gloves illuminated like stars.

"Boom!"

Crimson wisps of arcane energy congealed as a spell model formed in mid-air. However, this spell model was very different. It wasn't a spell model but a large runic spell.
