Chapter 565: a New Name

"The Holy Domain was penetrated."

"How is that possible?"

"She has reached the Holy Domain at such a young age?"

"At first, I thought my own grandchild looked promising, but now I feel like I have to give them a good scolding when I get back."

Some people were shocked, some lost their voices, some cheered, some applauded, some didn’t understand anything but still put on a face that said, "I understand completely now, it all makes sense, you truly deserve it."

Sasha concluded, "No, this is not the Holy Domain."

She frowned, "The basic requirement and important symbol of a Holy Domain Mage is the ability to create a Holy Domain. Their understanding of space allows them to manipulate spatial magic, which is essentially like stacking armor. A powerful Holy Domain Mage can even stack three or four layers of Holy Domain. Even among Holy Domain Mages of the same level, it is rare to instantly shatter a Holy Domain spell."

One of the family heads said, "But she did indeed injure Juna Selvicer."

"Yes, but it was just an injury. If you look closely, the Holy Domain was broken, but not shattered." Sasha said, "There is a big difference between the two. The Holy Domain acts as a mage’s defensive armor and the strongest barrier for their life. It is very difficult to completely shatter it, but as long as it is armor, it is possible to penetrate it. By reaching a certain level of understanding in space magic, one can achieve armor-piercing attacks that cause real damage."

After talking about a lot of things, it actually means attacking with piercing armor.

But this armor is not ordinary armor, and piercing armor is naturally not ordinary piercing armor.

Sasha continued, "Even if she hasn’t achieved the Holy Domain yet, being able to use this move to attack already means that her understanding of spatial magic has reached the standard and touched the threshold of a Holy Domain Mage. Under normal circumstances, she will be able to enter the Holy Domain within the next three years at the latest."

"Three years…"

The audience was a bit dazed, "She’s only twenty-three years old, so she could become a Holy Domain Mage by the age of twenty-six? Just like her mother?"

Nowadays, there are thousands of members in the bloodline clan, but there are only a dozen Holy Domain Mages altogether. And this is the result of accumulation over hundreds of years.

Sasha shook her head and said, "It’s different. Juna Selvicer became a Holy Domain Mage at the age of twenty-six. Although it looks young, her achievements during her student days were far less than Judy Selvicer’s achievements now. At that time, the Selvicer family had a change, and she had to give up continuing her studies. She used a large amount of family funds to draw resources for herself, using a semi-forced method to tap into her potential and enter the Holy Domain. But this also comes with a price. The fact that she hasn’t made much progress in many years proves this."

The elders fell silent.

"We misjudged."

"This girl, surprisingly, has even better talent than her mother, and she knows how to hide her abilities."

"This strength completely surpasses Alena Capesh, doesn’t it?"

Hearing this, Sasha calmly said, "Capesh won’t fall behind others. She is temporarily behind to have the motivation to catch up. You don’t need to worry too much."

She naturally has a way to give Capesh even more Holy Domains, by accumulating resources, knowledge, and hard work.

In the arena of confrontation.

Juna gently touched the wound on her waist, which wasn’t too deep. Her internal organs weren’t injured. After her bloodline’s regenerative power, the external skin injury didn’t affect her. It would scab over in five minutes and fully heal in ten minutes.

The achievements she obtained in her youth surpassed those of her own daughter. Each time, she demanded stricter standards from her daughter because she had achieved them herself, so she believed her daughter had no reason not to achieve them.

In fact, from the very beginning, she couldn’t empathize with her own daughter.

Once a prodigy herself, she always resented the life arranged for her, the wasted time, and the golden age she missed.

Judy, who entered the Holy Domain at the young age of twenty-six, believed that her future should have been limitless, but it was destroyed by her family’s burdens.

She hated her own weakness when she was young, reluctant to separate from her family, and was dragged down, step by step becoming mediocre, losing her brilliance.

Juna dreams of having her daughter bring back her own glory, and then surpass herself, becoming a more perfect version of herself.

If this cannot be achieved, then she will try something else. Her life is still long, and there are plenty of opportunities for trial and error.

Until she creates her ideal self, until her life reaches its end.

This is her madness, as well as the most selfless and selfish love she gives to her daughter.

Now, the feeling of pain has cleared her mind a bit. Juna Selvicer looked deeply at her daughter, without contentment, only unfamiliarity in her eyes.

"From the time you left home to now, only a short month or two has passed." Juna said in a deep voice, "A single Hellfire Engraving, I could accept that it was the result of your years of accumulation and research, but this one is a bit exaggerated."

She knows her daughter’s abilities very well. She is not an eagle, but a canary, not knowing where to fly after leaving the cage. It’s possible for her to starve to death in the concrete jungle. How could she have such potential?

"Who did you come into contact with and what did you give up in order to gain this knowledge and power?"

Juna questioned, "Answer me."

She said in a low voice, "You are gambling with your own future, how foolish can you be? Don’t you know?"

Juna couldn’t accept the temporary and burning potential because she had a similar experience before, and the result was doomed to be forgotten by everyone.

Judy said calmly, "For me, if I can’t win, there is no future at all. What does it matter what it looks like?"

She didn’t waste any potential either.

It wasn’t her who unleashed this spatial spell, but Bai Wei used her body to carry out the release. It was extremely smooth, like a step-by-step tutorial.

She has already learned a lot of theoretical knowledge, and with this practical experience, mastering it is just a lack of enough practice.

As for the cost… it would indeed be very high. She paid with her soul, body, everything, gambling on a completely unknown future.

Juna realized that words were useless, so she raised her sword, letting the outcome prove everything.

She didn’t believe she was wrong in her heart, preparing the best path for her child, destined for success, what’s wrong with that?

Judy also raised her weapon, calming her mind. Now, she wanted to conquer not only her mother but also surpass her past self.

She understood her mother’s kindness and love, but many things in this world can’t be forgiven just because they are done out of love.

She only considered her own desires, never thinking about the consequences of her choices or whether her actions were right or wrong.

Now, she has the power to resist and must correct these mistakes.

Juna twirled her weapon, the sword blade burning fiercely. Waves of destruction flowed down from the blade, turning the black flames into blazing white, eventually transforming into a color between white and transparent.

The spells used by the Holy Domain sorcerer were already separated by a great abyss from ordinary spells.

Just like a Martial Saint defeating a Grandmaster, it not only surpassed in physical attributes but also transcended in realm.

Not all Holy Domain Mages can understand the spells of the Holy Domain, but if they can do this, they can easily become powerful fighters.

Facing this sword, Judy held the sword’s blade with both hands. Hellfire Engraving unleashed a never-ending stream of flames. The fiery skull and the hellfire turned into a bright red color. The giant sword was entangled with the souls of the dead from the underworld. It was as if she was summoning an undead army from hell. The skulls merged into her sword, and the Grand Sin Sword could no longer maintain its original form. It turned into a large sword made up of stacked and interlocked bones. It was not at all strange, but rather solemn and silent.

With the help of Mr. Devil, she borrowed some strength. If she relied on herself alone, she would never be able to achieve such perfection.

Raise the sword, look ahead.

Swing the sword, burn everything.

Both of them moved almost exactly the same, sweeping their swords horizontally. They swung their swords with the heaviest posture, unleashing a flash as fast as lightning and powerful enough to burn mountains and boil oceans.

Then, the scene turned black and white, and the scorching wave engulfed the arena.

The air was twisted and distorted by the burning, and in the center of the field, only one person was left standing.

The radiant moonlight fell on the shoulders of the victor.

Judy hung her head low, sitting on the ground with a gasping breath.

Juna looked at her daughter with a complicated expression. She lowered her head and looked at the broken weapon in her hand. Then she turned around and took a step, then another, and another… But before she could take three steps, her body swayed slightly and she fell to the ground.

The audience and the tribe members looked at each other, a moment of silence filling the air.

Sasha stood up and announced, "The winner is Judy Selvicer!"

Exclamations filled the air, one after another.

Even though they hadn’t become a Holy Domain yet, they had defeated another Holy Domain. Even if they knew there might have been some sort of trickery involved, the victory was genuine.

Sasha landed on the arena and arranged for someone to take Juna to the medical center.

"Congratulations! From now on, your future is limitless. You are now the head of Selvicer."

Judy gently shook her head and said, "I don’t need the position of the head, and I wouldn’t be able to handle it."

"Rules are rules, but… if you willingly give up your position as the head of the family, it’s not impossible. As long as you step down…" Sasha paused for a moment, then smiled. "So this is your plan, to voluntarily leave the family, relinquish the position of the head, and be free once you leave Selvicer. You’ll become an ordinary member of the bloodline, no longer bound by the family name."

"Hmm." Judy forced a smile, though her body was three parts bruised and her face equally battered, making the smile not so pleasant.

"Go get yourself treated." Sasha took a few steps forward and then turned back as if remembering something. "That move of yours just now, was it the Small Dimensional Slash?"

Judy asked, "Was it?"

"Who taught you that?"

Judy leaned forward, then collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Sasha sighed and waved a hand. "Take her to the hospital… And remember, don’t put them in the same room."

…

Late at night, in the hospital bed, Judy opened her eyes and softly called out, "Are you still here?"

"Still here," Bai Wei replied.

"Now, am I considered homeless?" she asked slowly.

"Maybe," Bai Wei said ambiguously.

"Could you comfort someone who has nowhere to go? Just pity me a little," she slowly shared her inner worries and sadness, as if self-torturing.

Judy had come this far, and she couldn’t deny her own contribution. She wondered if compared to her previous life, this was better or worse.

Bai Wei placed his hand on her lowered head, stroking her deep purple hair, as if transported back to a long time ago, he recited.

"Let me give you a new surname."
