PS2: This Chapter has 5,000 words! Quite impressive, isn’t it?

The audience fell silent; no one expected that this battle would end with such a result.

Everyone was anticipating an exciting duel of spells, but what they didn’t expect was a duel that decided the outcome within just a dozen seconds.

It seemed that Sernus German only managed to release a Flame Burst Technique and prepare three Flaming Skulls before being turned into a Gilded Statue by Gaert.

Instantly, a thought arose in the minds of all the spectators.

This competition... could it be a fixed match?

However, the spectators quickly dismissed this idea.

There are many ways to fix a match. If it were indeed fixed, it’s possible Gaert might have used some method or promise to make German give up the competition for the position of Royal Chief Grand Wizard, but absolutely not through such a straightforward, spell-for-spell approach.

There are risks in casting spells! No one can guarantee there won’t be accidents. At this level of magical duel, a slight mistake can lead to fatal results. As long as Gaert and German are somewhat smart, they wouldn’t use this approach to fix a match.

So, since it’s not a fixed match, is it real?

Gaert really defeated German with just one Great Curse Technique!

This is truly shocking. It’s well-known that once a mortal’s power reaches the Holy Sanctuary Tier, a qualitative change occurs, with each Holy Sanctuary Tier expert possessing a unique ability entirely of their own. In a Holy Sanctuary-level duel, it’s relatively easy to defeat the opponent but very difficult to kill them. Yet now it seems German has been completely turned into a Gilded Statue, and everyone doesn’t even know if he is still alive!

Archbishop Vikma’s face showed some discontent; seeing Gaert become the Royal Chief Grand Wizard was not the outcome he wanted. But now, he has no choice but to accept this result. Watching Gaert solve German with one move, Vikma suspiciously thought Gaert was really dubious. Though he had no means to deal with Gaert at present, afterwards, he would definitely send Combat Priests and Demon Hunters to investigate him thoroughly.

On the other side, Emperor Carl Franz excitedly stood up and clapped vigorously. He descended from the main stand and loudly proclaimed: "It seems victory has been decided! Let’s congratulate our new Royal Chief Grand Wizard, our Great Alchemist, Biersaze Gaert!"

"Congratulations!" The waves of cheers rose higher and higher on-site. Although they couldn’t witness a thrilling magical duel, Gaert’s efforts over the past decade were somewhat acknowledged, and he too had no shortage of supporters.

The Metal Element mages from the Alchemy Academy shouted Gaert’s name fervently, interspersed with cheers of "for the emperor!" "for the Imperium of Man" "for the holy Terra."

Laine, Amelia, and Surya also followed with applause. Amelia clearly supported Gaert because the Lady of Nuer and Nuer Armory shared an alliance with Gaert, and Gaert was Little Frederick’s Magic Tutor. Laine was secretly supportive, while Surya had no stance. Seeing her husband clap, the female knight also followed suit.

"Congratulations, Gaert." Carl Franz approached the Great Alchemist and smiled as he said: "You are the new master of Wolan’s Staff, and from now on, you are the Royal Chief Grand Wizard, and the Supreme Dean of the Imperial Royal Wizard Academy."

"Beyond honored, Your Majesty." The Great Alchemist was somewhat excited. To say Gaert didn’t want to be the Royal Chief Grand Wizard would certainly be untrue. With his lifelong dream now realized, Gaert couldn’t contain his excitement as he lowered his head, showing his submission to the Emperor.

However, Carl Franz did not immediately hand Wolan’s Staff to Gaert. The emperor, worried, turned his gaze to the ring: "Tell me, Gaert, is German... alright?"

"He’s fine." Gaert assured the emperor, knowing he was concerned about the safety of the Flame Element Holy Sanctuary Grand Mage. German, after all, had served for the Empire under three emperors since Emperor Carl’s grandfather, Emperor Leopold’s time, and had even held the position of Royal Chief Grand Wizard twice. Although Carl Franz didn’t particularly like German, he definitely wouldn’t want anything to happen to him; the Empire already lacked Holy Sanctuary Tier powerhouses who could awe the world.

The Great Alchemist chanted a spell, reversing the process by which German was turned into a Gilded Statue. Just as the high and mighty Sernus German returned, the Supreme Dean of the Flame Academy was reluctant to admit his defeat: "This... is impossible..."

Before he could finish speaking, the magic power depleted German’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted on the spot in the ring. It seemed this Holy Sanctuary Grand Mage would have to rest well for a few months to come.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer hesitated and received Wolan’s Staff from his close attendants, handing it to Gaert: "Then, let me congratulate you once more, Gaert. Do you remember our agreement?"

The emperor referred to the promise made eleven years ago, after defeating the Barbarian armies in Nord’s sea territories, where he expressed his hope that Gaert could become the Royal Chief Grand Wizard.

"Of course I remember, Your Majesty." Gaert nodded and accepted Wolan’s Staff, kneeling on one knee.
