Absolute Soul
36. Salvia's Condition

Unable to watch as Salvia continued to be invaded by ice by Edward as if toyed with, Haikal finally decided to step into the floor of the battle arena to stop Edward's final attack that seemed dangerous to the current state of Salvia with his fist, then Heru approached Salvia.

The arrival of Haikal and Heru was not expected by the audience, but no one complained. Judging from wherever Edward's attack just now could endanger Salvia's life. If Haikal did not intervene to stop him, then Salvia could have suffered severe injuries that could not be cured or even death.

"You...." Highlight Edward's eyes sharpened realizing his blackish dark blue ice could be held back with just Haikal's simple fist, feeling so angry, "Side, the common maggots."

Haikal did not reply to Edward's words but hit Edward's previously cracked ice to shatter into pieces without difficulty, making many spectators so surprised, not least Edward himself.

"You're overdue, crazy nobleman." Haikal grunted softly holding back his anger at Edward wanting to hit the young man in the face, but Haikal held himself back given the tournament was still going on.

Edward went up black did not accept Haikal's words and wanted to deploy ice to attack Haikal, but he had not had time to act a terrible air and blaring pressure on Edward, Haikal, Heru, Salvia, as well as all those present in the arena without exception.

The pressure from the air was so heavy that it made Edward inevitably release his Awakening changes.

Sensing such a great air, both Edward and Haikal spontaneously turned their eyes to the source of the air.

There appeared a white-haired middle-aged man in his typical teacher's clothes floating in the air with dozens of visible whitish-blue electric sparks around his body slowly approaching the match area.

Veindal Volksky is the only principal of the Skymaze Academy and the father of Salvia Volksky. He was the source of the lightning strikes that had come with Haikal before.

"School head...." Haikal held his breath spontaneously, feeling that he could be killed instantly if he did not carefully breathe. Suppose that the air could hurt, maybe most of the audience in this arena will die because of it.

Veindal did not respond to Haikal's reaction, he kept silent even until his shoes touched and created a trace on the stone floor in a light footing.

Veindal's arrival in the battle area surprised many parties, but not to the point of causing a stir. Salvia is the daughter of Veindal and one of the students in the academy he leads, it is natural that the match is stopped considering that in the tournament it is not supposed to kill opponents.

Edward's attack just now can kill Salvia and everyone can see it, there's nothing strange about Veindal's actions going straight into the field.

It took some time for the horrifying air seeping from Veindal's body to shrink until it finally disappeared completely, making everyone in the arena able to breathe more freely, he said, edward and Haikal are closest to Veindal.

"Edward, this tournament is not a kill fight. Is this how the Ghaetas fight?" Unlike before, this time Veindal directed his terrible air at Edward, causing the young man to fall to his knees on the floor in a cold sweat.

Although the air was focused on one Edward, Haikal who was nearby could feel how terrible the air that Veindal deployed to be able to subdue Edward in an instant, "Blazer level Cardinal is indeed different...."

Veindal Volksky, one of the most feared Blazers in the world per-Blazeran Wulodhasia. The reason is not only from the 13 most influential noble families in Wulodhasia, but also one of the several Cardinal Blazers that can be counted with the fingers in Wulodhasia.

Most Blazers without a certain talent are usually only able to reach the level of Expert or at most Master after trying hard for many years, that's the average strength of the Blazers around the world.

It sounds not so great compared to the achievements of Edward and Salvia who were able to get Awakening at such a young age, but the two people were indeed geniuses from genius. It's not fair to compare geniuses and not geniuses, is it?

Compared to the average most Veindal Blazers have reached a very high point, which is what makes him respected and feared as one of the Cardinal level Blazers of Wulodhasia.

Edward who was under heavy pressure from the air Veindal could not answer, he could only fall to his knees to exert all his strength so as not to fall to the floor. As a high self-worth noble, it would be extremely embarrassing for him.

It took a while for Veindal to decide to pull back his haw to free Edward, then ran small towards Salvia who was lying limp in Heru's grasp.

"How is he, Heru?" Veindal then grabbed Salvia from Heru's grasp, examining her daughter's condition as best she could, while Heru's face showed a bitter expression to Haikal.

After the tense atmosphere slightly subsided medics rushed over to Salvia to check and provide first aid. This medical officer did not neglect his duties, but indeed could not move because of the fear of the air that Veindal had issued before. They were worried that Veindal would get angry and beat them up for not being quick to handle his daughter.

The results of the rapid examination stated that five of Salvia's ribs were broken and two of them were in a position that could harm her lungs and heart, her spine suffered a slight fracture, her head also suffered a concussion, and her, and most of his muscles broke off as a result of forcing themselves and receiving too many attacks.

Veindal immediately ordered the medics to send Salvia to the most complete hospital facilities in the city of Adele which then had to be continued with intensive care, while on his journey Salvia must be accompanied by several medical Support type Blazers who heal some of his minor injuries.

Hearing the statement of the quick diagnosis of Salvia's injury, Haikal's eyes were wide-eyed not believing him, while Heru only held back the look of his face that looked increasingly worse, "Heru, doesn't that mean...."

"Yes, the chances of Salvia surviving are no more than twenty percent...." Heru spoke his opinion after examining Salvia a glance earlier. Heru can conclude that because he knows many things about the anatomy of the human body.

Heru's words did sound unbelievable by people who did not know him close, but when he heard the statement Veindal was stiff enough to notice Salvia who was taken away by medics, while Haikal froze, he could not move, feeling heavy shock.

Among all the people present here, Haikal was the closest to Salvia besides Veindal who was her father. He is the one who knows and knows what a girl looks like compared to a teenager his age.

Haikal recalls that due to its insensitivity to the environment around Salvia did not have any peers until the time of this High School. If intensive care for Salvia fails and the girl loses her life because of this match, Haikal has no idea what to react to.

Haikal initially did not want to get too close to Salvia because the girl was the daughter of the headmaster of Skymaze academy, but after knowing the condition and getting to know her more deeply Haikal began to feel close to Salvia.

There is no love that grows between the two—or at least not yet—but Haikal can imagine how sad Salvia's life has been, even though he was always labeled a genius by the surrounding community.

Unaccepting of Edward's actions that had caused all this, Haikal turned his gaze to the white-haired young man looking at him intently, pointing at him in anger, "You will finish, in this round, in this round, in this place too."
