Chapter 122 Fight!
Chapter 122 Fight!
*knock knock…*
Zevien knocked on the door of the Elite-rank abode on the 4th hill.
A few seconds later, a 20-year-old man opened the door as his short blue hair fluttered because of the wind on the hill. He was slim and had refined muscles like Zevien.
"Uh, another challenger, Kaal?" A female voice came from behind the boy as a girl with long blue twin pony-tails appeared while wearing an apron.
Seeing them, Zevien asked doubtfully, "Siblings?"
"Yes," Kaal nodded before turning to his sister, "you continue making breakfast, Afina. I will come after finishing this challenge."
"Ok~," Afina said before turning around and leaving.
Kaal came outside and closed the door. He had a gold badge on his chest, which stood out because of his black t-shirt.
"You are a pair, right? But since I don't want to disturb my sister, how about we do 1v1?" Kaal asked politely.
"Let me do it, Zev," Vernisia said as her eyes lit up with fighting spirit. She didn't like how this guy didn't even consider the possibility of him losing.
"Ok," Zevien nodded as he backed away, "don't get hurt too much."
Vernisia nodded as she and Kaal arrived on the open ground, away from the abode.
Kaal drew a big circle before saying, "to make it quick, whoever goes out of the circle loses."
"Fine," Vernisia nodded before grinning, "come out, Lyn!"
*Neighh!!*
A shadow horse burning with black flames and black flaming wings slowly materialized beside Vernisia before she jumped on it.
"So we may use fairy spirits?" Kaal raised his eyebrows before nodding, "very well. Come on, Jaggy."
A giant spider appeared beside Kaal, with a shiny, scaly body and dark green legs. Its creepy eight red eyes looked at Vernisia and Lyn as if they were its prey.
"Let's start," Kaal said as he took out a sword from his storage ring and waved it towards Vernisia as a sword slash projectile flew towards her.
Vernisia flew up and took out her weapon, which was a whip, and used it to attack the incoming slash and dispersed it, "let's go, Lyn! Attack them as you like but don't go out of the circle."
*Neighhh!!*
Vernisia didn't ride on her horse and let it roam freely inside the circle while attacking. Lyn flapped his shadow flame wings and released two shadow flame slashes. In repose, Jaggy shot a big spider-web that was dark green and shining to defend. However, the shadow flame burned the spider web.
"Don't attack it, Jaggy. That fairy counters your webs," Kaal said as he calmly waved his hand and conjured a mana barrier.
The magic barrier was the most common spell one could cast just by consuming one's mana. This spell is used to defend from attacks and absorbed less mana, but its durability is also lower than proper defense-type spells and it is just a plain defense with no other effects.
Kaal's mana barrier blocked the shadow flame slashes for enough time such that he and Jaggy dodged to the side. He noticed Vernisia coming close to them as she waved her hand.
A ball of shadow with a ghost face shot towards Kaal.
'Hmm? Faster than I expected,' Kaal frowned as he quickly palmed forward and used a defense-type tier-2 spell, Counter Flame Shield, as a burning rectangular shield appeared in front of him to block the ball of shadow with ghost face.
However, the shadow bind hex was traveling on the ground while the ball of shadow with ghost face hit the fire shield. This ball of shadow with ghost face was her feint attack using her second awakening spell of Shadows of Hex magic labyrinth, Shadow Curse Clown.
The Shadow Bind Hex hit Kaal and immobilized his entire body!
*Boom…*
Vernisia used Fire Burst Steps to close the distance quickly as she and Lyn attacked at the same time. Vernisia used her 1st awakening spell from her 2nd magic labyrinth, 1st Style of Primal conjuring, Water Terror Fish.
*Neighh!*
Lyn also shot a shadow orb from its mouth toward Kaal.
"Interesting…," Kaal muttered while being immobilized. A second later, he wrapped himself into flames and burned down the immobilization of shadow bind hex before spinning himself while using his awakening spell, "Stormfire Tornado!"
His fairy spirit had disappeared, as Kaal told it to return before using his powerful spell. The Stormfire Tornado separated from Kaal and quickly shot towards Vernisia's and Lyn's spell.
"Heh, a powerful spell, but, unfortunately for you, it can't block my little fish," Vernisia smiled as she waved her hand again and used the 2nd style of Primal conjuring that she learned after becoming a 5th class magician. 'Wind Roaring Tiger!'
*Roarr*
*Booom!!*
First, the Water Terror Fish hit the Stormfire Tornado, and the little fish burst with its full power after the collision, dispersing the whole tornado.
That surprised Kaal, but he was not worried and shook his head. 'I didn't want to hurt you too badly, but oh well.' Kaal took a stance of spear throwing as he used his 2nd awakening spell, Flame Lord's Spear, and an intense blazing spear manifested in his hand before he threw it.
Naturally, he couldn't see the regular-sized wind tiger roaring since the giant blast of his tornado blocked the view. Although he heard the roar, he didn't care and threw the spear with his full physical power.
*Swoosh…*
*DHOOOOOF…..*
Suddenly, an intense wind pressure arrived before turning into a full-blown wind force filled with tiny wind blades.
Zevien was watching the battle and frowned because the spear that Kaal threw cut through the Wind Roaring Tiger's powerful wind vertical vortex filled with many wind blades and flew straight towards Vernisia.
Vernisia also didn't expect this. She tried to dodge, but the spear still penetrated her shoulder, injuring her seriously.
On the other hand, Kaal's whole body was cut by tiny slashes and blown out of the circle far away before crashing down as he coughed blood.
"Arghh…," Vernisia groaned in pain as the burning spear was burning her skin, bone, and blood, increasing the pain even more before she lost her consciousness. The spear that pierced her shoulder dispersed automatically after a second as Kaal also fainted after he lost a lot of blood.
