His pride, now wounded beyond repair, left him with only one choice—he had to go all out.

"You forced me to do this," Kai muttered, activating an ability he barely had control over—Searing Grace.

In an instant, flames erupted from his body. The very essence within him turned into fire, and within seconds, his entire form was engulfed in blazing heat.

Levi\'s instincts kicked in. The Shadow Warden ability from his Eternal Vigil roared with warnings of danger. He could feel the searing heat even from a distance. There was no way he could withstand the intensity of those flames for long.

\'Looks like I\'ll need to reveal some cards if I want to win,\' Levi thought, his mind racing.

There were two reasons Levi had agreed to this duel.

First, he despised how Kai had boldly accused him of things he hadn\'t done and looked down on him.

Second, and more importantly, Levi was confident in his victory. There was no way Levi would\'ve accepted the duel if he wasn\'t sure of his chances.

Levi\'s willpower was sharp enough to sense that Kai was also in Follower rank. And surprisingly enough, Levi felt that he was stronger than Kai.

Firstly, his skills were superior—even if Kai came from an elite family, he wouldn\'t possess abilities as unique as his Lunacy or Domination.

Secondly, the amount of essence he could use was definitely more than Kai - thanks to his core, which was now filled to the brim.

Those were the aces Levi was betting on.

He couldn\'t risk using his Demonic Transformation, as it would reveal the demonic energy within him. But Lunacy and Domination were a different story.

Lunacy was a mind-based attack, one he was sure Kai wouldn\'t be prepared for. Even if Kai had some resistance or an artifact to defend against mind attacks, Levi still had another trick up his sleeve—his small bird, hidden in his shadows.

Still, he needed to assess the strength of Kai\'s new ability. Whatever it was, it seemed to be a rare combination of a buff and an attack skill.

While these thoughts raced through Levi\'s mind, Kai surged forward, his sword now ablaze with crimson fire.

The strike was more precise and powerful than anything before, and Levi knew instantly—he couldn\'t dodge this one.

Without hesitation, he instinctively activated his own ability.

A green flame flickered in Levi\'s eyes as the aura of Lunacy burst forth, covering the area within 20 feet around him.

Kai, who had been rushing at Levi, was immediately struck by the aura and came to a sudden halt. Confusion clouded his gaze as he dropped his sword and clutched his head. Levi\'s Lunacy ability wasn\'t powerful enough to affect the onlookers, but some noticed the shift.

William frowned, realizing Levi was using a mind attack, while Franz\'s eyes widened in surprise. Mind attacks were exceedingly rare—so rare that most people never encountered someone capable of using them. Their rarity and effectiveness made them highly prized.

While the onlookers had their own thoughts, Kai, on the receiving end of the attack, was in turmoil. His mind was a chaotic storm of conflicting memories—ones he desperately tried to suppress—and an emotion he had buried deep within his heart surfaced.

Jealousy.

A bitter, festering jealousy toward his sister flared up. But just as the emotion threatened to consume him, a ring on his right hand glowed. In an instant, Levi\'s ability shattered like fragile glass.

It was an artifact—one designed to protect against mind attacks.

Kai snapped back to his senses and saw Levi closing in fast. Without hesitation, he reached for his sword, but he was a second too late.

Levi\'s shadow had already reached him, and from the darkness, a black raven with green eyes emerged. The raven clutched the sword in its beak and flew upward.

It was Noir.

Kai was stunned. First a mind attack, now a pet? Or was it an avatar? He didn\'t know, and there was no time to think.

Levi was already upon him, and a hard fist slammed into Kai\'s face.

Blood sprayed from Kai\'s nose as he staggered from the impact. Before he could recover, another punch landed.

Blow after blow, Levi continued to strike, only targeting Kai\'s face. The duel quickly disintegrated into a one-sided assault.

After what felt like an eternity, Kai finally crumpled to the ground, defeated. The outcome was clear—Levi had won.

A commoner had bested a young master from an elite family.

Franz let out a sigh of relief, while the onlookers displayed a mix of emotions—surprise, awe, even fear. Levi had proven to be far more formidable than anyone had imagined.

As Franz stepped forward to declare the winner, Levi moved.

He wasn\'t done yet.

He moved swiftly, clutching Kai\'s right leg as the young master lay battered on the ground.

The once haughty look on Kai was nowhere to be found once replaced by groans and expressions of pain.

Then, Levi\'s eyes shifted to William and the Makalani family members, who were watching him with hateful glares.

Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, and a cold smile crept across Levi\'s lips.

William sensed something was wrong, but before he could react, it happened.

Without breaking eye contact, Levi yanked Kai\'s leg straight and stomped down with all his strength. The sickening crack of bone echoed as Kai\'s leg broke under the impact, twisting at an unnatural angle.

All the while, Levi\'s gaze remained fixed on William, his message clear,

"Don\'t you dare mess with me."
