"Alright.... Second round! Are you ready?"

Hearing the seven-headed dragon's question, I adjusted my breath then took another stance and drew my spear.

"I'm ready!"

After I said ready, the middle head of the Seven-Headed Black Dragon nodded slightly. And then, just like in the first round, one of the heads of the Seven-Headed Black Dragon opened its jaw. But this time, it was the head to the left of the middle head that did. Then, in front of that gaping jaw, appeared a black vortex point which then got bigger and bigger. After that black vortex appeared, I felt the air as if being suċkėd at it! And before long, that black vortex turned into a black ball of wind about 3m in size.

"This time is Wind.... Taste it...."

The middle head of the Seven-Headed Black Dragon said and then the head on its left spouted the black windball at me.

The black windball quickly flew to me and I responded by swinging my spear when it nearly in front of me!

"Haaaaahhhhh!!!!!"

A collision ensued and I was trying to stay strong and hold on!

Guh! Very strong!

If in the first round I felt the heat from the black flames, in this second round I felt the turbulence that was tearing apart!

Fortunately, my Infinity Blaze Armor was able to hold on and protect me.

But then, suddenly...

I faintly heard a cracking sound!

And then, I saw that from my spear that was holding up the black ball of wind appeared a crack that was slowly spreading!

"Not good! Why at a time like this!"

Realizing that my spear would not last long and would soon be break, I really worried. But right now, all I can do is try to hold on as long as possible!

"Haaaaaahhhhh!!!!!"

While I continued to hold on, the cracks in my spear got worse.

And in the end, my spear was broke and I was hit directly by the black windball and blew away!

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!!!"

I bounced up to several dozen meters and then my body hit the ground and fell! And then, I saw that black ball of wind continue to float past me until it slowly faded into the distance.

"Rey-sama!"

"Rey!"

Shortly after the black wind ball finished fading and I fell, I heard Sakuya-san and Scathach-sama shout from a distance.

"Hey, boy.... You still alive?"

Besides them, I heard the voice of that Seven-Headed Black Dragon too.

And hearing them, I tried to get up.

I used my hands to get up to propped myself and then sat down.

"So strong.... Gaahhkk!"

Even though I was already protected by the Infinity Blaze Armor, the impact of that black windball blew me away made me slightly injured internally and vomited blood!

Then, Sakuya-san who looked worried ran over to me.

"Rey-sama, are you okay!?"

Sakuya-san asked me with a worried tone and expression.

Even so, actually Sakuya-san didn't need to worry too much because my injuries weren't that bad and would be able to recover in just a few seconds thanks to wearing the Infinity Blaze Armor.

But, well, maybe because Sakuya-san is a perfect maid, she wanted to confirm it directly. And because I understood her concern, I answered her.

"Yeah.... I'm fine...."

Hearing my answer, Sakuya-san have a sigh of relief.

A minute later, after I felt my internal wounds have healed, I stood up.

Then, I looked at the Seven-Headed Black Dragon and said to her,

"Let's continue...."

Hearing my words, Sakuya-san frowned slightly in worry. But in the end she remained silent, smiled a little, and turned back away.

Meanwhile, the Seven-Headed Black Dragon seemed to be grinning slightly after hearing my statement.

"Hoh~.... You still want to continue? That's good. I like that. But it looks like you've lost your weapon. Or are you going to do it empty-handed?"

Hearing the Seven-Headed Black Dragon's words, I frowned slightly.

To be honest, I don't have a problem if I have to do it empty-handed because I'm still wearing the Infinity Blaze Armor. But I also hesitated a little because I guessed for the next third round, it's likely that the Seven-Headed Black Dragon will deliver a stronger attack than the previous two rounds. That's because, in the first round it was a flame duel and the result was that I was able to survive without the slightest injury and even got a little bit ahead because my flame devours her flame. In the second round, she used a wind attack and as a result my spear was destroyed, I was blown away, and sustained an internal wound even though it was only a minor wound and in the end I was able to recover quickly and was able to get back on my feet. For the next third round, it was likely that she would use an elemental attack that could suppress my fire. After all, in the beginning after I summoned her, she said that she was a spirit that had more than one attribute and that had been evident from the previous two rounds. If she was going to use an attack that could suppress or penetrate my flame armor for the third round, I doubt whether I will be able to survive even though I'm sure that I will be saved by Scathach-sama and/or others if my life is in danger. But that also means I will fail this test. And, I will surely disappointed if I have to fail at the last moment like that even though I can try again next time.

".... Try this!"

While I frowned in thought, I heard Scathach-sama's voice from far away. And when I looked up at her, I saw her red spear flying towards me!

Seeing that, I understand what she meant. Surely Scathach-sama wasn't throwing the spear at me to attack me or kill me, but rather lending her beloved red spear, Gae Bolg Alternative, to me!

Even though this means I am being helped by other people, it's not a problem because I received help indirectly and before the round starts. So, this is not considered a violation of the test and will result in disqualification.

Then, I jumped up and stretched out one hand to catch the red spear. After that, with my two hands, I moved to swing and rotate the red spear then took a stance and drew the red spear.

"I'm ready!"

I said sternly looking at the Seven-Headed Black Dragon.

Then, the middle head of the Seven-Headed Black Dragon nodded slightly at me.

"Hm. Alright.... This is the last and the strongest! Good luck, boy!"

After saying that, I was a little surprised that the middle head of the Seven-Headed Black Dragon herself opened her jaws and not another head! Even so, I will still face her attack!

Then, in front of the open jaw of the middle head, just like in the previous two rounds, appeared a black dot which then changed shape to become like a black ball rotating and getting bigger and bigger. But, this time it looks like the element of the black ball is water!

And shortly after the black waterball was about 3m in size, the Seven-Headed Black Dragon's middle head spouted her black waterball at me.

The black waterball quickly flew towards me and I responded by swinging my spear!

"Haaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"

A collision ensued and I was trying to stay strong and hold on!

Guhhh!

I feel the black ball this time is truly stronger than before!

If in the first round I felt the heat from the black flames, in the second round I felt the tempestuous black wind, then in the third round I felt the immense current pressure from the black water!

And even though my Infinity Blaze Armor was able to defend and protect me, I saw little by little my flame armor being eroded! But fortunately, it looks like my purple-black flame can still match the black water and as a result my armor doesn't wear out. After all, the Infinity Star Flame was a Godly-level flame from the combination of a Heavenly Flame and Ophis 'Snake'. In addition, the red spear, Gae Bolg Alternative, also showed that it was truly a Godly-level spear with no signs of being damaged or even scratched at all!

Because I was able to hold on, I took an initiative to try to push back.

I channeled the purple-black flames from my armor onto Gae Bolg Alternative and attempted to counterattack by burning and vaporizing the black waterball!

I got the idea to do this after the first round was over. Since my purple-black flame could devour other flames and/or annihilate them, I thought that maybe my flame could burn and annihilate other elements as well. And I intend to try that idea in the second round. But before I could do that, my spear destroyed first and I was blown away. So, I can only postpone it for the third round.

"Buuuuurnnnnnn!!!!! Haaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!!!"

I tried my best to hold on and pushed back. And as a result, I faintly saw black steam rising from the black waterball which meant that little by little my Infinity Star Flame managed to evaporate the black waterball.

"Hoh~.... Really interesting."

I heard that the Seven-Headed Black Dragon seemed impressed by what I did and the results.

About 15 minutes later....

* clang

Gae Bolg Alternative's red spear slipped out of my right hand and then I collapsed.

"Hahh.... Hahh.... Hahh.... Hahh...."

My breath is wheezing and I feel very exhausted.

And in the sky, I stared at the final black steam slowly fading. Looking at that, then raised my right hand, clenched it, and said,

"I win...."

I did it.

I managed to hold on to the end and even managed to counterattack!

I finished this test!

As I looked up at the sky and felt touched by my victory, I saw suddenly the seven heads of the Seven-Headed Black Dragon appeared above me and looked down at me.

"Great! Really great! You passed! It's not in vain that I am interested to you! Kuhahahaha!"

The Seven-Headed Black Dragon laughed and grinned at me.

Meanwhile, I also feel relieved to get the real confirmation from her.
