Dimension System: SSS Rank Talent Awakening

Chapter 118 Facing the Vantore Family

---

The cheers from the previous round had hardly died down when the tournament announcer called for the next match.

This time, Dabi would face Leonel's older brother, Ivar Vantore, who was known for his brutal combat style and skillful use of elemental magic.

The Vantore family's reputation for ruthlessness preceded them, and Ivar was no exception.

In the VIP section, Reniel Vantore leaned forward with a satisfied smile. Leonel's and his loss had been embarrassing, but Ivar's power was far greater.

This was the Vantore family's chance to reassert their dominance and humiliate Dabi in front of the entire arena.

The crowd watched with bated breath as Dabi and Ivar took their positions in the arena. Dabi could feel the hostility radiating from Ivar's gaze, a silent promise of what was to come.

"Ready to be crushed, commoner?" Ivar taunted, his voice dripping with contempt.

Dabi remained calm, his expression unchanging. "Talk all you want. Let's see if you can actually back it up."

The Battle Begins with a thunderous signal, the announcer declared the start of the match.

Ivar wasted no time, summoning pillars of fire that erupted from the ground around Dabi, closing in like a cage.

Dabi dodged with Phantom Steps, weaving through the flames as he analyzed Ivar's movements.

Ivar grinned, raising his arms to create a whirlwind of flames, and launched it toward Dabi.

The force of the attack caused the ground to tremble, and the heat was intense enough to make the audience gasp.

But Dabi was undeterred. He summoned Nyx, his void beast, whose dark tendrils intercepted the flames, absorbing the heat and dispersing the attack.

Nyx's power over shadow created an eerie contrast to Ivar's fire, and the audience watched, mesmerized by the display.

Growing impatient, Ivar unleashed a powerful burst of energy, causing the flames to intensify and swirl toward Dabi.

Dabi countered by summoning Whity and Fen, positioning them strategically to divide Ivar's attention.

Whity darted in, using her agility to create distractions, while Fen launched powerful attacks from different angles.

Ivar's confidence wavered as he struggled to keep up with the coordinated assault.

In the VIP section Reniel's frustration was growing. Reniel's expression grew tense as he watched Ivar struggle. He glanced at Marius Hadrian, a hint of desperation in his eyes.

"This commoner shouldn't be holding his own like this. Ivar should have overwhelmed him by now."

Marius frowned, his gaze fixed on the arena. "Ivar is underestimating him. Dabi's skill with his summons is more formidable than we anticipated."

Nearby, Lady Althea Illyrian watched in silence, her expression unreadable. She noted Dabi's calculated movements and strategic use of his spirit pets, impressed by his ability to adapt to the ever-changing conditions of the battle.

As Ivar struggled, Reniel leaned over to a member of his family, whispering, "Signal him to end this quickly. We can't afford to let this commoner win again."

The turning point of the battle, Back in the arena, Ivar received the signal from the VIP section and decided to unleash his most powerful attack.

Raising his arms, he summoned a massive inferno, the flames swirling into the shape of a fiery beast that roared toward Dabi, leaving trails of scorched earth in its wake.

Dabi knew he couldn't counter this attack directly. Instead, he focused on adapting his strategy.

With a subtle command, he instructed Nyx to draw the flames toward a shadow rift, absorbing and redirecting the heat.

Meanwhile, Fen and Whity positioned themselves strategically, ready to strike at Ivar's vulnerable points.

As the flames began to dissipate, Dabi launched a coordinated attack with his summons.

Fen lunged forward, biting into Ivar's defenses, while Whity struck from the opposite side. Nyx moved in with its shadow tendrils, immobilizing Ivar and limiting his movements.

The audience gasped as Ivar stumbled, his once-confident expression replaced with frustration.

Dabi took advantage of the opening, using his Dimensional Summon skill to call forth a creature from another realm a shadow hawk with razor-sharp wings.

The hawk's attack caught Ivar off guard, slicing through his defenses and leaving him exposed.

Dabi seized the moment, using his own spatial magic to land a final blow that sent Ivar crashing to the ground.

The crowd erupted in cheers as the announcer declared Dabi the victor. The VIP section was silent, Reniel's face pale with disbelief.

Reniel's jaw tightened as he watched Ivar's defeat. He turned to Marius and professor Vladimir, frustration evident in his eyes.

"This can't keep happening. Dabi has made a fool of the Vantore family twice now. We need to put an end to this."

Marius nodded, his tone deadly serious. "We have one more chance. If he makes it to the finals, we'll use every resource at our disposal to ensure he doesn't win."

Vladimir smirked, though his expression held a hint of unease. "Let's make him regret ever stepping foot in this tournament."

Lady Althea Illyrian overheard their conversation, her gaze sharpening. She didn't intervene, but her expression suggested she wouldn't tolerate any further sabotage.

Dabi will prepares for the next battle, After his victory, Dabi returned to the waiting area, where Zen and his team greeted him with proud smiles.

Zen clapped him on the back. "That was incredible, Dabi! You've shown everyone that Astral Heaven Academy isn't to be underestimated."

Dabi nodded, though his focus remained on the upcoming matches. "Thanks, Zen. But we're not done yet. The nobles are getting desperate, and they'll stop at nothing to prevent me from winning."

Zen's smile faded, a hint of concern in his eyes. "Just be careful. They're bound to try something drastic."

Dabi agreed, mentally preparing himself for whatever might come next. He knew the nobles wouldn't play fair, but he was determined to face them head- on.

As the tournament neared its final stages, whispers of interference reached the royal families.

Lady Althea's neutral stance had subtly discouraged the other noble families from taking further drastic measures, but the tension was palpable.

During a private conversation with her family, Althea expressed her thoughts.

"Dabi has proven himself worthy of a fair competition. If the nobles continue their schemes, they risk discrediting this tournament."

One of her relatives raised an eyebrow. "Why defend a commoner? It's not our concern."

Althea's gaze hardened. "It's not about him being a commoner. It's about honor. This tournament should reflect true strength, not manipulation."

Her relative nodded, understanding her stance. The Illyrian family's influence, while subtle, ensured that any further interference from the noble families would be met with disapproval.

Back in the waiting area, Dabi received a message from Professor Farak, who had been monitoring the tournament closely.

Farak's voice came through on a communication crystal, his tone filled with pride and caution.

"Dabi, you've done remarkably well," Farak said. "But be prepared the final rounds will be the most challenging yet.

The nobles are desperate, and they may resort to anything to stop you."

Dabi nodded, appreciating the warning. "Thank you, Professor. I'll be ready."

Farak hesitated before adding, "Remember, this tournament isn't just about proving yourself.

It's about showing the world what Astral Heaven Academy stands for. Make us proud. My father the headmaster is on his way once he comes they will be holding accountable for their actions."

With that, the message ended, leaving Dabi with a renewed sense of purpose.

He knew the challenges ahead would be formidable, but he was prepared to face them.

The headmaster must have recovered fully by using the heart of eternity. If he regain his saint power other Nobel family won't interfere in the astral heaven academy. I hope the headmaster comes soon with his fully recovered power.

The next stage, the grand finals await,

As the tournament prepared for its final rounds, excitement rippled through the audience.

Dabi's victories had captured the attention of spectators and nobles alike, and rumors of his skill spread across the city.

In the VIP section, Lady Althea watched with quiet anticipation, her gaze fixed on Dabi. She knew that the nobles would try once more to bring him down, but she felt confident that he would overcome their schemes.

Meanwhile, Reniel and his allies prepared for their final attempt at sabotage, determined to prevent Dabi from claiming victory.

As Dabi stood in the arena, ready for the next match, he knew this was his chance to make history.

The stakes had never been higher, but his resolve was unbreakable.

With his spirit pets by his side and his friends supporting him, he was ready to face whatever challenges awaited.

Also his siblings are present his the national stadium too. They came have see final. Loira is also present she fully absorbed the two mana stone.

Now her power is comparable to a master. (She needs to wait for some time before she could use another mana stone.)

Eli, Mira, Loira, Nafo are in the audience to cheer dabi. He can't lose the finals. He wants to give his all in the next battle.
