met with a cementing pool.
His lightning spell also formed above me, and I realized it would be a bit too much for my current harrier to handle.
Instead of tanking the spell, I used SPELLCRAFT to control the surplus mana around me in order to easily separate the rock beneath me, allowing me to completely sink into the ground right before impact.
I made a tunnel and swam back aboveground, a distance from Stefan, before revealing myselfcompletely unscathed.
Of course, I wasnt going to explain any of this to Stefan, who just stood and stared at me dumbfounded.
I suppose its my turn now! I smirked.
Stefan was powerful and talented, I had to give him that.
Which was why it would be pointless and even dangerous to try stretching out the match any longer.
You should probably go on the defensive now, I advised.
It was up to the boy if he heeded it or not.
[Dark Lightning Storm]
The flabbergasted boy became even more shocked by the time I revealed the trick up my sleeve.
RUMBLE!!!
A storm cloud formed above Stefan, darkening his vision.
Instantly, torrents of wind blew, bombarding him in all areas as he tried to figure out his bearing.
Even if the boy tried escaping, the whirling wind surrounding him would prove that to be a difficult task.
Its no use!
Combining Wind Magic and Lightning Magic to form a High-Intermediate Spell, close to the peak point of that level, the storm that had formed was going to let out discharges of lightning after forcibly trapping Stefan in its range.
I watched as he struggled, coating himself with all forms of enhancements.
Unfortunately, it was nothing more than a powerless child trying to swim against the harsh currents of a raging sea.
Guarkk!!! He let out in pain.
As a result of my generosity, I decided it was time to end things.
Fall!
Instantly, the thick cloud gave off the glow of purple light, and rumbles of thunder came from within it.
Stefan noticed this and looked above him.
It was too late to do anything other than receive the Spell!
BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!
Even greater destruction than the earlier spell was caused, thanks to the focus of my lightning attack on a single point.
The ground shattered, and vibrations filled the earth.
The audience seemed to recoil as a result of the brilliant flash of light and the echoes of thunder.
Finally, once the single strike hit, I dispersed the cloud, using the remnant wind to brush away the smoke that rose from the heated point of impact.
That Spell is enough to kill, but I intentionally delayed in the cast to give you enough time to react and defend I smiled, noticing Stefans unconscious body on the floor.
He had several burn marks on his body, but none were too serious.
It seemed he indeed blocked a lot of the attack in time, causing most of the damage to reflect in the surrounding areas.
Still, he couldnt completely rid himself of its force.
Even as he was in an unconscious state, I saw the look of determination still glued to the boys face.
He really tried his hardest, didnt he?
You fought well, Stefan you fought well.
