Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years

Garen's previous sword was destroyed by William, and ever since he learned William's secret sword technique, he had been wondering why Mr. Johnson would use a wooden sword.

It must be that once the secret sword technique is perfected to a certain extent, the material of the sword itself no longer matters.

Also, using a wooden sword probably shows more disdain for the opponent!

Imagine, my opponents used all sorts of divine artifacts and sharp weapons, yet I defeated them all with just a wooden sword.

Who could stand that level of cool?

However, Garen's swordsmanship clearly hadn't reached the level where he could dominate the world with just a wooden sword, especially when facing opponents of the srank who were so powerful and had such formidable magic. Even with his strong secret sword technique, his weapon just couldn't withstand it.

"Sword, come!"

Garen shouted loudly.

The swords from the scabbards of the Emerald Lion guild's swordsmen flew towards the sky.

"Heh!"

Ilias sneered, made a magical gesture, and suddenly hundreds of golden stones appeared in the sky, falling like meteors.

The swords that had just flown up were all knocked off course.

Such a powerful, indiscriminate area attack naturally injured many innocent people.

Especially since the place where they were fighting was right above a school. If all those golden stones were to fall, the entire school would likely be destroyed, not to mention the casualties.

After knocking the swords of the Emerald Lion guild off course, those golden stones, along with the swords, all floated in mid-air.

William walked out of his office, stood on the corridor, looked up at the sky, and said, "Can you keep it down a bit when you fight, and maybe pick a different location?"

Many students and teachers were hiding inside the school building. The battle between Garen and Ilias was like a battle of gods, and ordinary people were definitely suffering.

The school building was of decent quality, but neither the students nor the teachers felt it could withstand the residual effects of the battle between these two powerful beings.

But now, William had stepped forward.

The battle in the sky seemed to hit the pause button.

The students and teachers near William were stunned.

What was happening?

Up in the sky, two deities were fighting, and he dared to interrupt?

Wasn't he afraid of dying?

They greatly admired William's fearless spirit.

Dexter, who was hosting William, quickly stepped forward to pull him back, then shouted to the sky, "Vice Principal Garen, and the other gentleman, if you must fight, please do it somewhere uninhabited to avoid involving innocent people."

As he spoke, he tugged at William again.

Although he couldn't stand idly by, in this era, powerful Soulmancers often acted without reason. Even though William had a special relationship with Garen, it was clear that Garen was at a disadvantage.

If Garen were to die, given William's arrogance, might he also end up implicated?

Hearing William's words, Garen quickly responded, "We'll move farther away."

Then he said to Ilias, "Ilias, how about we change locations for our duel?"

"Changing locations is fine!" Ilias probably felt he had gone a bit too far, but his gaze fell on William and he chuckled, "This young man is not simple, huh? Was it you who controlled these objects just now?"

Dexter quickly interjected, "You jest, sir. He's just a minor C-class superhuman. How could he possess such powers? You two should pick a deserted place to fight."

With so many students dead, Dexter was naturally angry, but unable to gauge Ilias's temper, he could only smile apologetically and avoid provoking him.

William glanced at the cratered playground struck by lightning and the ashes of the students, his brow furrowing slightly.

William looked up again, the golden stones and swords floating in the air all swiftly flew towards Ilias.

"What..." A glint of sharp light flashed in Ilias's eyes as he was about to use magic, but before he could finish speaking, the swords floating in the air had already pierced through his body, and the golden stones crushed him to bits, leaving not even bone fragments behind.

Alexios, standing in the distance, was completely dumbfounded.

What just happened?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Could it be that Ilias had used sadvanced invisibility magic that even he couldn't detect?

In the sky, a gentle breeze blew.

William said, "Next tyou fight, keep it away from Arcane Village."

Soulmancers are known for their capricious temperaments, often killing ordinary people without a second thought, not even bothering to apologize.

Isn't William the same?

He doesn't care about challenges or internal strife. Whether Garen kills Ilias or Ilias kills Garen, or even if the entire Emerald Lion guild is wiped out, it has nothing to do with William.

But while he was preparing his lessons, there was constant thunder from above.

He was teaching at the school, and someone dared to kill his students?

And they intended to destroy the school?

And then there's the house at the Arcane Village base. If the dormitory he was living in were to collapse, he could obliterate the entire Pantheon Guild with a single slap.

"Understood!" Garen said, bowing deeply in William's direction, "I was reckless."

Now that Mr. Johnson had intervened, there was no way Ilias could have survived.

There was no need to hide Mr. Johnson's identity anymore. Proper courtesies must still be observed.

What the hell?

Dexter and the others were even more stunned!

What was going on?

Garen was bowing to William?

Was it William who had killed Ilias?

That man had been overpowering Garen in the fight, yet William had killed him with nothing more than a flick of his eyelids.

And to think they had previously suspected William and Garen had a "Brokeback Mountain" kind of relationship.

Now they probably understood why Garen showed such a humble and flattering demeanor towards William.

William turned and walked towards the classroom where he was supposed to teach.

At the moment he turned, all the pits that had been created by the lightning strikes at Arcane Village miraculously restored themselves, and all the innocent people who had died due to Ilias's magic were resurrected.

However, everyone's memories had changed, as if everything had reverted to the moment when Garen and Ilias had just started clashing.

But...

Ilias was gone, and so was the wooden sword in Garen's hand.

Apart from William, many people were still staring at the sky, remembering only that Garen had clashed once with the giant seal summoned by Ilias using a wooden sword.

"Ilias, that move was really powerful!" Garen, frantically searching for Ilias's presence, said, "Let's change locations and fight again, such battles can easily harm the innocent."

Garen too had lost part of his memory, but the words William had said were imprinted in his mind, "Next tyou fight, keep it away from Arcane Village."

He didn't remember that Ilias was already dead, thinking instead that Ilias had just concealed his presence, and so he shouted out loud.

No one responded!

"Ilias, if you don't answer, I'll take it as your agreement." After saying this, Garen flew out of the vicinity of Arcane Village, circling to the other side of Mount Olympus.

Seeing Garen leave, the people inside the Arcane Village base breathed a sigh of relief.

Alexios was also shocked beyond measure. The Triton seal summoned by Ilias was indeed immensely powerful. If Garen couldn't even detect his whereabouts, didn't that mean Ilias was sure to win?
