Chapter 325: Chapter 325 Blaze V Tempest.
The stadium was glowing in red and green color as the two girls unleashed their strongest card at the first start.
On the red side, a scorching hot that burned even the moisture in the air enveloped half the arena, which made the spectators sweat and feel an insatiable thirst.
Her body gleamed under the blazing red flame that swirled around her, and her green katana turned orange, for it was coated with high-temperature flame.
The hagoromo on her back also had a change: the translucent cloth that circled her back turned into a flaming circle, illustrating Hina as a fire goddess.
On the other hand, Serafina showed no significant change in her figure; only her eyes were sharp, and she had red pupils. A hurricane compressed itself, forming a barrier around her, blowing away the fire that came to her side, intending to burn all of that oxygen.
Her hair swayed gently, and she began to leave the ground, and once she stood in mid-air, looking down at her opponent, she smirked.
"Here I go!".
With a single wave from her hand, more than dozens of magic circles appeared in front of her and above Hina; a massive one glowed in the green pattern before a huge whirlwind descent and swallowed Hina's figure, who just stood and did nothing.
The spectators gasped because they were shocked to see Hina helplessly being swallowed, but from inside the whirlwind, a blazing glow appeared, and a huge hole appeared as Hina breached out from it and rushed toward Serafina directly.
The blade on her hand glowed fiercely, and as she swung the blaze, a trail of flame tail followed along the blade's trajectory as it easily cut the surrounding barrier that protected Serafina.
However, the barrier was instantly repaired, and Hina, who intended to slip through, halted in the skies and had to take action as she saw the more than dozens of magic circles around Serafina glowing in a frightening manner.
"Go!".
Again, with just a simple command from Serafina, Hina began to be bombarded by dozens of compressed winds that took the form of a slash.
Hina clicked her tongue and slashed away the incoming wind blade, but the amount was too significant. Also, its quantity had already reached more than double its amount.
"Let's see how long you can endure wasting your mana like that. I will get through this, hm!".
A magic circle surrounding Hina completely halted her movement for a moment.
"Fufu, I wonder who is the one that will spend first?".
Serafina's composed tone greatly stirred Hina's competitive side as she flashed her white canines and shot up, dodging the magic Seafina had shot at her.
Hina had to fly over the entire arena just to dodge the windblade Serafina created. The spell is considered basic by a wind elemental wizard, and its performance could be lethal depending on the person who utilizes it.
Wind Blade became one of Serafina's favorite spells because of its low mana expenditure, and it became deadly enough to cut her opponent in two.
In front of Hina, a magic circle appeared, and a ball of wind appeared before it compressed to its limit and blasted, sending her body to the side because of her immediate response to the magic.
"That was dangerous!". Hina grimace.
Seeing the precise control and prediction, Serafina showed. It genuinely impressed Hina.
Feeling something wasn't right within her surroundings, Hina, who stood in the arena taking off some breath, knitted her brows and found herself surrounded by multiple magic circles surrounding her like a cage glowing in green color.
"This is the end, Hina!".
Before Serafina could activate the magic, Hina made a split-second decision and stabbed the sword into the arena. Below her, a red magic circle glowed as it spread its diameter, and a bright flame shot up the roof, burning all of the magic circles, including her.
Serafina, who saw the event happening, knitted her brows in wonder. But as her mind faltered a bit, an orange diagonal line formed in her retina, and she could feel a chilling sensation that gripped her heart, coming.
A bright red slash came from the pillar of flame and easily pushed through Serafina's barrier, traveling through in a straight line.
She tried to deflect the trajectory but was futile, so she glided to the side and dodged the slash.
The hot temperature that just brushed her skin, burning a crisp air around her slightly, caused her breath to halt for a second.
"My turn!".
A low voice comes from beneath her, and it sends an electric rush of danger around Serafina's body.
"!!!".
Seeing the destroyed shield around Serafina, Hina shot upward in a straight line and brandished her katana inside her waist. She swung the katana vertically from below.
The blade bypassed in front of Serafina; its hot blade passed a centimeter across her lower jaw, and a bead of sweat streamed down her temple.
However, Hina didn't finish with just one attack; she stopped in front of Sefarina, then twisted her wrist and swung the katana horizontally.
Thanks to her martial arts practice, Serafina can stay calm in this situation. She ducked down and extended her palm forward with a magic circle in it.
"Blown away!".
The magic circle glowed in a green pattern, and a gale of wind was created, which pushed Hina's body away from Serafina's.
"Kuh!".
Even though it looked like a weak-looking spell, Hina received the blow head-on, making her lungs on fire as she was blown away from the place.
A swirling wind began to gather around Serafina, and it created another protective layer, but now it was not only one but a triple layer.
"...".
"...".
Both girls floated above the arena, watched by numerous spectators who saw them in awe. Their beautiful figure and strength draw many eyes, especially the scout from the guild.
The two distanced themselves to regain their breathing as Hina and Serafina gasped for breath.
Even though the match had just started, both of them had significantly spent much-reserved mana in their body after unleashing their trump card.
Soma, who stood near the tunnel entrance, watched the match with intense spirit in his eyes. His heart thumped wildly ever since both girls unleashed their might from the start.
He already recognized Hina's power thoroughly, but he thought Serafina could grow to this extent just from him giving that book.
It seemed a good choice for him to give the book to her. The last thing he regretted was the equipment he got along with the book, which was now under the hands of Invidia.
Soma could imagine Serafina, along with a complete set of equipment and the possessor of that book. She would be unmatched by her peers.
Then he can give Hina and Xiao Lian the pills he stored in his relics. The essence of fire and water.
However, despite all of the friction in his mind, momentarily, his lips parted, and he watched the girls with an affectionate gaze and whispered.
"Fly High, all of you!".
Inside the VIP room, Xiao Lian, with her unusually excited gleam in her eyes, watched the match with bated breath. Her heart was beating so loudly as it echoed in her ears.
The spectacles her peers showed in the match were drawing Xiao Lian in and hoping that she could take part in it.
Xiao Lian's defeat against Soma still lingered in her chest as it drove her mindset to strive further to develop her original magic and increase her basic strength to stand toe to toe with her beloved.
"You saw it, dear?".
Hisako from the side, overwhelmed with joy, asked Hiroshi.
"Yeah, she had grown".
Hiroshi also agreed with this aspect. Just recently, his daughter became indifferent toward others and always ran away from her problems.
Today, they witnessed their daughter blooming and becoming a different person after spending her time with Soma. She cared about her friendship, garnering the trust of her peers to become their leader, and faced the difficulty head-on with her head held high.
Beatrice, who has no understanding in this regard of power, watches her daughter's happy face while battling Hina. A touch of gentle smile escapes her lips, and her vision is glittering.
Looking back, Serafina, who awakened her power since she was a child, had a dark past. Luckily, Serafina was saved not long after that. But Beatrice could notice the slight difference in her daughter's behavior. Also, the matter of her illness drove her further, filling her consciousness with grief.
However, thanks to her current relationship, Beatrice could see the cheerful smile from her daughter, and it saved her heart from anything that plagued her.
"Go for it, Sera!".
The two figures in mention stood floated above the arena. Then, simultaneously prepare their stance.
Hina brandishes her katana, and Serafina prepares her reserved mana in her possession, concentrating it on a single point. Discover exclusive tales on m,v l'e|m-p| y r
With ragged breaths, their gaze met briefly, and they understood each other intention with smiles on their lips.
"It seems you are out of gas".
Hina, who tried to act composed, asked her opponent.
"Leader, don't try to act tough. We both know we are on our end rope".
Serafina chuckled as a huge magic circle generated in front of him.
However, her magic circle caused a stir that stunned every wizard in the place in silence.
Hina, who noticed the danger of the magic circle in her vision, inhaled deeply and poured all of her mana reserved into the blade.
Her hand trembles, and the red across the blade Hammon changes its density; it turns even redder, and it turns half the area into dessert.
"Let's finish this!".
