To survive the two attacks of Gabriel, Izen had placed his all on the line! Even his robe of Nullification was damaged in the process. However, now that everyone was over, he realized that something was wrong.
Not only was Gabriel still calm, but Izen also felt a presence behind him. Initially, the hall was blocked and no one from outside could enter this place so Izen didn't have to divert his attention to protect from others. It was only now that he realized how wrong he was.
He suddenly turned around, jumping back. Unfortunately, it was too late. Before he could even move, he saw a sword pass through his chest!
The Sword was being held by a man who looked more like a lifeless person than speaking who was alive! The man had a pale and expressionless face. In fact, he didn't even have much of a presence or breath of life! He was an undead!
The Undead was one of the weakest undead that Gabriel had created in the Church of Flames, the only one of his men who hadn't managed to evolve to a Death Priest. However, that also allowed him to have much less of a presence compared to the other Death Knights!
When Gabriel cast four spells, the first two of his spells were cast to accomplish one simple task. It was to destroy the Robe of Nullification as well as to distract Izen.
As for the third spell, it was to protect himself from Izen's attack. As for the last spell, it wasn't as complicated. Gabriel's last spell was just summoning a Death Knight who was already planted with a sword! The Death Knight was what was there to kill Izen?
The sword stabbed through Izen's chest. Izen coughed out a mouthful of blood as he looked at his bleeding chest which was impaled. He raised his head to look back at the Death Knight.
"You really are..." he weakly muttered but couldn't even gather enough strength to finish his sentence. His body went weak and he fell to his knees as all his strength left his body.
Izen's vision started getting darker and the entire world became blurry.
"Urgh!" The Death Knight pulled out the sword, making Izen grow in pain as he dropped to the ground, unmoving.
Izen used his Ancestral Staff as support to push his weak body up, slowly moving closer to Izen.
He checked the breathing of Izen and made sure that Izen was actually dead. It was only after ensuring Izen's death that Gabriel sat down and swallowed some soul healing pills that Cylix gave him in the past.
He was careful enough to not use them when not needed since they were close to losing their effect if he used them more.
After gathering some strength, Gabriel stood up. He looked back at the white barrier outside the tower. Now that he was out of strength, the barrier wasn't going to last long either, allowing everyone to enter the place.
"Carry the body..." he told the Death Knight as he sent his Ancestral Staff of Darkness back, only carrying the Ancestral Staff of Light.
Despite his weakness at the moment, Gabriel raised his Ancestral Staff of Light and cast another spell. "Purification!"
Gabriel wiped all the unstable auras that were spread throughout the hall, leaving no evidence that a spell of Darkness was ever used in this place. It was only after that that he prepared to leave.

[A few minutes ago]
The Holy Lord of Wind explained everything. If he wanted, he could break Gabriel's barrier and enter the Tower since he also had the strength of a Holy Lord. However, he held back.
It was clear that the Holy Lord of Light was in a bad mood at the moment. It was the same for Izen. If it wasn't needed, the Holy Lord of Wind didn't want to do something that could make them misunderstand his intentions.
He calmly waited outside for the barrier to stop working before checking inside. There was one thing he was sure about. It was that one of the two inside the Tower wasn't going to come out alive! Since the battle had stretched for so long, there was no way that it was going to end in a draw.
The Holy Lord of Wind just stood in silence.
"Who do you think will win?" he asked Avilia.
"We both know who will win. Why ask these stupid questions," Avilia responded without paying much attention to the Holy Lord of Wind.
The Holy Lord of Wind smiled.
"That is... Huh?"
Just as the Holy Lord of Wind was in the middle of responding, he stopped and looked at the tower. The barrier of light was flickering and it was getting weaker. It was clear that the barrier wasn't going to last long. That meant the battle was already over!
"Since the battle is already over, let's check it out." The Holy Lord of Wind didn't even wait for the barrier to stop entirely! Now that the battle was seemingly over, he wanted to check as soon as possible.
He casually flicked his finger. Everyone only saw the winds intensify and nothing more. The next minute, the barrier that had already weakened shattered.
The Holy Lord of Wind flew inside the Tower of Challenges after the barrier was gone.
Avilia also followed inside. She was also curious as to what actually was the result. The Head Teachers didn't stay behind either.
Over twenty of the most powerful people present inside the Academy of Elements rushed inside the Tower behind the two Holy Lords, concerned about the fate of their Dean. They didn't know who won and who lost. However, they were still worried.
As everyone entered the Tower, their eyes widened. There was not a single person who wasn't shocked at what they saw! The hall on the ground floor was almost unbreakable! Even if something was broken, it could heal instantly! However, at the moment, there was not a single part in the hall which wasn't broken!
Blood was everywhere! Craters were spread throughout the ground. All the walls were covered with cracks as if they were breaking apart.
Even though the Tower tried its best to heal all the damage, it was still too slow since the damage was just too much!
The sight that everyone saw before them was like a witness who was screaming and telling everyone about the devastation that took place in this place not long ago!
This wasn't a battle between two mortals! This was like the aftermath of a battle between two gods!
