Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Battle of the Sorcerers
"Although the Chains of Krakkan are not as strong as the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, they are still capable of restraining a powerful enemy. But Lance... the main requirement for restraining an enemy is that you must recite the spell correctly!" Kaecilius warned calmly.
Kaecilius's expression did not change, but his scythe began to spin faster. The strands composed of fire energy seemed to turn into the hottest magma, making the surrounding air feel boiling and creating an unbearable sense of dizziness.
"Otherwise, that power will be released... and reflected back at the spellcaster!"
"Wow!"
The fiery shackles collided with the blue chains, and in two breaths, the wall of chains was obliterated by the impact of the immense force.
The broken energy chains did not simply vanish. Instead, they transformed into a cloud of blue arrows that shot rapidly toward Lance.
"Fortunately, I didn't intend to use those chains to block you... just to delay you for a moment, that's enough!" Lance said cheerfully.
Chuckling, Lance jumped into the air. His body spun agilely in the air, dodging the 'rain of blue arrows' that had changed direction. With a swift movement, Lance then passed through the talismans floating around them.
In the next moment, a greenish light enveloped Lance's body. "Divine Power Talisman, Diamond Talisman, Wind Control Talisman... Oh, and also some Five Thunder Talismans, Black Ice Talismans, Fire Cloud Talismans, and Immobilization Talismans, that should be enough."
One by one, the talismans began to appear from the void, glowing with electric flashes.
They ignited quickly behind Lance, like the blooming tail feathers of a peacock, radiating an extraordinary magical power.
Lance then took a deep breath and smiled broadly at Kaecilius. "My brother, we can officially begin!"
Kaecilius smirked cynically. "Let me see how much you have learned from Professor Xu's Book." With a smooth yet swift motion, Kaecilius spun around halfway and suddenly shot forward.
Kaecilius's wrist trembled at an almost impossible angle, his right hand extending with a hook and sickle, striking like a meteor shattering the void.
Lance quickly twisted his waist and shoulders, dodging the deadly attack. At the same time, Lance tore through the air with a decisive movement of his hand.
A magical fan appeared, glowing like a sun wheel radiating brilliant rays, identical to that of the Ancient One. Lance swung it with tremendous force towards Kaecilius.
A loud thud echoed as the magical fan collided with the hook and sickle. Magical fireworks scattered in all directions, illuminating the mirror dimension.
The 'Divine Power Talisman' granted Lance strength far beyond that of an ordinary human, causing Kaecilius to be pushed back a few steps.
However, as a master of the mystical arts with unparalleled combat experience, Kaecilius quickly adapted.
With a half-turn, Kaecilius shifted his weight onto his left leg while swiftly retracting his magical line.
The hook in Kaecilius's right hand, which had initially attacked Lance, now cleverly spun back, slashing from behind.
Lance immediately curled into a ball, evading the lethal strike. The tip of the hook nearly grazed Lance's carotid artery, but he managed to survive with his quick reflexes. As Lance jumped into the air, his raised right foot touched a talisman.
Suddenly, the silver talisman exploded, emitting a sharp light before transforming into a dense white mist.
"Black Ice Talisman!"
The temperature around Kaecilius plummeted drastically. Water droplets in the air turned into ice crystals, and the breath exhaled became cold mist.
The water molecules around him condensed, forming a thick layer of ice on the ground that further restricted Kaecilius's movements.
"In the name of the seven suns of Cinnibus, with the blazing power of holy fire, summon the stars that fall from the sky—come forth, Seven Suns of Cinnibus!" Kaecilius chanted loudly.
"So, everything in that movie was a lie," Lance thought with a smirk. "The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj are not only adept at splitting space and creating whirlwinds, but they are also highly experienced in mastering elemental attacks."
The drastic temperature change brought by ice and fire clashed in the air, creating a tense magical contrast. This battle had just begun, and Lance knew that Kaecilius still had many tricks up his sleeve.
Kaecilius, although his body was still covered in ice from the effects of the "Black Ice Talisman," began to chant spells rapidly. Kaecilius's voice grew more intense, manipulating the energy around him.
The sky above Brooklyn turned red, and sparkling light began to ignite the clouds. A large magical pattern formed in the sky, spewing fiery meteors that fell with destructive speed and power.
Lance quickly realized the impending danger. There was no time to complain; Lance moved with incredible speed.
With the "Wind Control Talisman," Lance moved so fast that his shadow nearly vanished, leaping left and right amidst the deadly meteor shower.
Meteors obliterated everything around them, turning the bustling blocks into ruins in a matter of seconds.
However, the "Diamond Talisman" activated by Lance also reinforced his body, granting him extraordinary resilience against the blows from the flying debris.
Nevertheless, Lance knew that this battle could not be allowed to drag on. The meteor shower finally ceased, leaving behind a devastated and smoky landscape.
Without wasting any time, Lance moved quickly, transforming into countless shadows and heading straight for Kaecilius.
Lance knew that such spells required great power, and even for a secret sorcerer like Kaecilius, there was a recovery period that had to be endured.
However, Kaecilius was not easily defeated. Even in a state of recovery, his combat abilities remained sharp. As Lance swooped down from the air, his magical fan lit up brightly.
Kaecilius deftly turned his body, using his scythe and hook to form a sturdy shield that immediately absorbed Lance's fierce attack.
"Clang!"
The intense battle began. The magical fan and the double-hook scythe clashed relentlessly, creating sparks of light that shattered the air now filled with dust and smoke.
Although Kaecilius was in a state of recovery, he remained resilient.
