Solan Neumann was with Miral Flair, Brad Sano, and Polter, facing the men of the Amoritchi Kingdom, among whom was Sora Neumann. Their leader spoke in urgency:
"I'll handle Mr. Flare; the rest, avoid Sano's attacks—they're instantly lethal!"
He drew his blade and attacked with incredible speed.
"(Three Deadly Poisons: Third Poison)!"
The leader's poison domain appeared immediately, enveloping Miral, who exhaled sharply.
"(Flair Technique: Successive Lightning Shadows)"
Miral Flair's images moved at incredible speed inside the poison domain. Every sword strike split the field, while the remaining shadows clashed with the leader's poison-attacks. In battles between experts, the mind cannot afford even a moment of distraction—death is the inevitable outcome.
The lightning shadows spoke:
"(Flair Technique: Simple Field)"
They swiftly surrounded the leader, attacking his main body after dispersing the poison, and struck:
"(Lightning Judgement: Thunderbolt)!"
The simple domain reacted to the attack, illuminating the leader's body, who enveloped himself with his aura and raised his blade:
"(Three Deadly Poisons: Second Poison)!"
The aura of the sword rose wildly to repel Miral Flair, causing a powerful collision that scattered the poison in all directions, sending some of it toward Sora Neumann. Alone, he faced Polter and used his technique to exploit the poisons:
"(Toxic Spirit: Soul Corrosion)!"
Sora struck Polter with his sword, hitting him.
"You may be a strong Seventh Level spirit, but remember—you were summoned by a mere little girl who doesn't even have enough power to support herself," Sora mocked. But he noticed as if Polter was looking at him with pity.
"You really don't know anything about the Pure Spirit."
While Polter's spiritual body was being eroded by the poison but Solan raised her hand:
"(Spirit Purification) (Soul Restoration)"
Solan released four magic circles, activating the fourth-level magic using the magician's mind so the poisons were removed from Polter, and his body recovered once more.
"You may have saved yourself this time, but how long can you endure?!" shouted Sora, preparing another attack.
"(Toxic Spirit: Soul Corrosion)!"
Polter was struck again, but he countered, affecting his spirit.
"(Spirit Purification) (Soul Restoration)!"
Solan helped Bolter again, though her energy was already beginning to wane.
"The difference in levels cannot be compensated by some techniques!"
Sora roared, readying another attack, but Solan spoke:
"Walking spirits, grant me your power!"
Suddenly, all the spirits around her gathered, protecting her while simultaneously feeding her energy. Her strength returned to its previous state.
And Sora was frozen on seeing the scene before him. Polter mocked,
" As I said, you know nothing about the Pure Spirit!"
While fighting, Brad Sano watched the scene and quietly smiled.
"What are you staring at, old man?"
A man from the Amoritchi Kingdom spoke, moving with five others, rushing toward Brad, who looked at them coldly:
"(Sano Technique: Infinite Flow)"
Brad ignored them and moved, his sword moving with the unstoppable aura, sweeping through the six men who were startled by his power. One of them shouted:
"Killer Snake Formation!"
They moved with speed and precision, forming a hexagonal pattern around Brad, who looked at them with calm, ocean-like eyes, and said:
"(Sano Technique: Devouring Whirl)"
The six men transformed into snakes of different colors—red, blue, green, yellow, gold, and purple—each carrying a different elemental aura and a poisonous aura.
"Release your domains!"
The seventh level energies exploded at maximum power, forming their fields and trapping Brad:
"(Killer Snake Formation: Elemental Poisons)!"
Each element carried a specific toxic energy capable of killing a eighth level, but Brad refused to yield:
"(Great Sea Domain)"
He merged it with his previous technique, spreading his field over the deadly formation. The whirlpool dragged them toward a pre-set point, and they fell into it.
"What's happening?!" they screamed, losing their form and returning to their normal state. Brad lazily said:
"I've heard of that ferocious attack, capable of paralyzing eighth level fighters—but do you think the heads of the six great families are ordinary eighth level fighters?"
'Damn you! What eighth level is ordinary, you bastard?!' the six men cursed silently.
Brad continued without realizing he had shattered their pride:
"I am Brad Sano, descendant of Yossi Sano, the great hero who once faced a supreme ninth level power! Who are you to challenge my family and my kingdom?!"
He brought his hands together, imprinting magic circles onto his sword, pulling back his shoulder:
"(Compressed Sea)!"
The entire domain gathered into his sword, which he thrust toward the trapped men. They tried to escape, but the domain's pressure forced them to face him.
"Release the Snake Scale Formation!"
Each of them produced simple gears from their hands, arranging them in a pattern.
"Now release the aura again!"
The snake's head formed, glaring at Brad. He elegantly thrust his sword forward, delivering a lethal strike pushing them out, piercing through two of them. Their heads and parts of their bodies were obliterated as if the stab had shattered them completely.
They looked to their leader, who was facing Miral directly, sweating heavily. The men rushed toward him:
"Chief! We've lost two!"
"What?!"
The leader did not expect this, glaring fiercely at Brad. 'Those soldiers were like my sons! How could this happen?! How did he dare to kill them?!'
Miral mocked, saying:
"See, Brad? He's angry because you killed only two. If you had killed them one by one, his tears would have dried up on the third or fourth, and he wouldn't have been able to spare tears for the rest. You had to finish them in one strike!"
Brad looked at him with disgust:
"And you? Always arrogant, claiming to be the strongest, and now you can't even kill a trivial one like him. Should I teach you as I always did?"
"If you scratch me with water, I'll call you uncle!"
"I'm far too lazy, so..."
While they bantered, the leader was in a rage:
"I'll kill you both!"
They looked around, seeing the men moving in specific patterns. After they finished, the leader said:
"I will avenge Jia and Moron!"
"Who are they?"
"Who did you kill, you bastard?!"
Miral asked:
"So will you face them while I kill, or vice versa?"
"As if you'd keep your word!"
"Don't worry, this time I won't ruin your moment."
"Fine, I'll defend while you finish them. (Pure Water)"
Brad cast the spell, enveloping Miral, expelling the poisons from his body from the fight against the leader.
"Despite your power, you shouldn't act recklessly and suppress the poisons alone. Do you want me to tell the teacher?"
"Okay, okay, I'll remember next time."
Brad and Miral prepared to finish the fight. Brad gathered his techniques, spells, and field into his sword, while Miral deployed his domain:
"(Domain of Ten Thousand Lightning Strikes)!"
Electric currents spread across the ground, disrupting the leader's formation who was shocked for a moment but he saw Brad raised his sword:
"(Sano Technique: Sea Cutter)"
He struck, directing it toward the leader, who suddenly felt something move.
"My body...half of my body?!"
The leader was split in two, staring expressionlessly at the two men who hadn't taken him seriously in the first place. 'We're all at the eighth level, so why all these differences?!'
That was his last thought before his body separated. As the other men left the protection of their leader, they met electric aura so they were all electrocuted to death.
After finishing them, Brad and Miral cleaned themselves and then, they turned their heads.
Their gaze then turned to the last opponent, Sora Neumann, facing Solan Neumann, who was surrounded by a legion of spirits feeding and empowering her, while Polter fought Sora. Polter moved at incredible speed, attacking from multiple positions at once, yet the other, using his domain, could dodge all attacks.
Sora asked,
"Strange, why don't you ask these old men for help?"
Miral and Brad looked at him but said mockingly,
"Seeing a seventh level defeated by a little girl is a rare opportunity, so we'll just watch and I can trust that boy can endure for a while" Brad said.
"You two!"
"What are you staring at?" Polter spoke calmly, striking Sora again, who dodged while keeping an eye on the elders. Suddenly, he sensed something terrifying being prepared.
He looked instinctively at Solan, who clasped her hands, pulling the spirits' power into a whirl that consumed everything, gazing coldly at Sora.
"Polter, hold him in place."
"As you command, my lady."
"Not happening!"
Sora advanced toward Solan to strike with all his might:
"(Toxic Spirit: Soul Corrosion)!"
A terrifying aura of the seven-star duelist erupted, but his strike suddenly was stopped. Sora saw columns of lightning surrounding him, yet the electricity was unnaturally cold.
Polter said:
"This is my domain."
"How can this be?!" Sora shouted in shock.
"You can't release a domain of this level!"
"I exploited the masters when they struck with their domains, taking some of their power. I was eighth level before I died, so I have a deep understanding of domains at this level."
Sora gritted his teeth, seeing Solan ready her spell, the domain surrounding him, and the two masters outside. He then looked at his fallen comrades:
"I apologize to all of you..."
He closed his eyes, muttering:
"(Toxic Spirit Domain)!"
Everyone looked at Sora in astonishment.
"A Level Eight Domain!"
The bodies of his companions and leader disintegrated instantly. The atmosphere shifted, and Miral and Brad felt something sneaking toward their spirits.
"This is bad!"
"Simple Domain!"
The two masters unleashed the Simple Domain, rushing toward Solan and Polter.
"You're late, old men!"
Sora looked where Polter stood, his body fading in greenish pink colour, but Polter shook his head in pity,
"You really are foolish."
"…?!"
He didn't understand Polter's meaning but heard Solan:
"Did you forget I am the Pure Spirit?"
Solan approached Polter, touched him, dispersing the poison from his body. Polter regained his form, and the toxic spirits did not approach. Sora retreated, unaware:
"Impossible! I'll finish you!"
But Solan stopped him:
"(Spirit Magic: Spirit Liberation)!"
A fourth-level spell broke into the domain, making Sora scream in a highly incredible voice,
"Aaaahhhh!!!"
His spirit tried to escape from his body making him cry in despair but for his high level Solan couldn't endure for a long time letting him fall on the ground losing his consciousness.
Solan moved reaching a location where the men and their leader's spirits were trapped. Despite their desire to escape, they accepted Solan's spell (Spirit Purification).
