May 4, 1163 Zaenium.
Duel Arena Square, Dorsal Port City, Sarcarius Royal Capital, Beastman Empire Marhamzan.
Afternoon.
Syarka took them to a field in the middle of the city. He then lobbied the officers there to vacate the arena immediately. And rumors about the Shark King going to duel spread throughout the city. Attracts people like flowers attract bees.
“Hey, is the duel a Beastman culture? How many more times do I have to duel to attract the other party?” Laciel asked Yagwar in the preparation room.
“True, the duel is a Beastman culture that is still passed down through generations. Usually done if there is a party that is considered weaker or a request to the stronger party. But, it is more about entertainment and the actual result still depends on the decision of the other party, not the result.”
“Then I have to duel again to invite the King of Orca and the King of Owls?”
“King Orca certainly is. He is stronger than Sharka. But, the King of Owls might not be. He is neutral, loves peace and balance, and loves researching magic more than anything else in the world.”
‘Still I feel lazy because there will be one more duel after this one.’
Bell rings. His voice echoed throughout the city.
“The duel will begin. This time the field was wider than the one in my place. Fortunately for you, you can use magic. BUT don't destroy anything.” Yagwar emphasized his rules.
“O– okay.”
‘About, what kind of magic do I use.’
“UWOH!!”
The audience at the sekliling area gave an excited welcome as Laciel walked out of the room. And once again, the arena was filled with screams as Syarka also came out.
A Cat Beastman becomes the referee.
“Bet ready!”
...
“Available!”
...
“Start!”
Syarka immediately ran to cut the distance. And Laciel, as a Witch, would not allow his enemy to approach him. He immediately casts out Fireball magic.
Syarka. The wasted time was used by Laciel to recite the Mind Acceleration spell.
“Dija baritium da santharah le fikreta sarifae! Mind Acceleration!”
BUKS!
Syarka beat him with fists that were already coated with energy. Laciel was thrown away. But that was an advantage for him.
Time was running fast in his mind. He could easily land safely and immediately recite the Absolute Barrier spell. Syarka's a little late. His fist was blocked by an invisible shield in the air.
“Tower of Mana!”
Four golden-coloured lines appeared under his feet as he cast a long spell quickly. The four lines spread out in four opposite directions. Soon the lines began to form a magic circle on the arena floor and were completed along with the perfect casting of magic spells.
It was the same magic he used against Nadja. With the Absolute Barrier holding back the enemy's attack and the Tower of Mana speeding up the gathering of magic energy, Laciel could easily attack at this moment.
“Now, feel this! Multiple Fireball!”
Laciel took out many fireballs from many magic circles, all of which aimed and targeted Syarka like a missile that had locked onto the target.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“I'm not surprised that Devils used to fight in a sneaky way!” sharka shouted trying to heat up Laciel.
“I just found out that the Beastman also uses sneaky ways, such as provoking emotions,” Laciel replied. ‘He's quite far from the attack distance. Just close he is not easy to drop.’
Each side is thinking hard.
‘I don't know what the cards are, but, he looks like a martial arts fighter. Although, Yagwar said that he combined martial arts with magic. Will he keep it until the end? In that case, I just need to force it.’
“Multiple Mana Arrow!”
A huge magic circle appeared above the arena. And from there appeared hundreds of magic arrows targeting Syarka.
THE BATS! THE BATS! THE BATS!
Sharka fended off the magic arrows with martial arts combined with magic. Although he tried his hardest, of course there were many who still hit him. His hands were injured and covered in blood.
“Huft ...” Sharka put up the horses. He inhaled magic energy with a Laciel-like breath with his Tower of Mana.
Laciel felt something bad would happen if he did not anticipate what Syarka would do, especially his attack. He was worried that Absolute Barrier could not hold him back.
Indeed, Absolute Barrier has to neutralize all attacks, both physical and magical. However, that only applies when the User still has a Mana Point. And every attack received would make Mana Point wasted quickly.
‘The best defense is by attacking.’
He remembered a sentence that he had not read where. In the past, he still did not understand what it meant. But now he knows it from experience. He must attack so that Syarka does not attack.
The only attack he knew had the greatest strength he currently possessed was that. The magic that he first used when awakening in the Blackwood Forest. The Magic Darkness Meteor.
Somehow, he could understand the language in this world when directly meeting people, as if they were speaking a single language. ‘Maybe this is the resultant power sent to another world,’ is what
thought of.
That way, he can live out the meaning of each mantra he recites. And if done wholeheartedly, it is possible, the effect will enlarge like the characters in the anime.
“Dija samerium, yes Drakonir! (Listen to me, Lord of Darkness!) By dimarium di anmiarus sa! (Destroy your enemies!) DARKNESS METEOR!”
Several complicated magic circles appeared before him. That amount and complexity, as well as still requiring the recitation of spells, even for a Demon King of Laciel's level, were very indicative of the prowess of the magic being waged.
Those dark red magic circles gave off an extremely frightening aura of death and darkness. Making people feel the horror just by being in a radius of several hundred meters.
After the spell and magic circle were finished and were perfect, Laciel released it. The attack was traveling at high speed.
‘Only you have US card at the end?’ Syarka smiled as she saw how much Laciel was doing just for the attack. ‘Obviously his protector will be in a very vulnerable condition. However, I cannot let the attack break out of the arena, to the audience.’
Sharka changed his horses. Both of his legs are getting bigger. His two hands were pointing forward.
“Syarka Martial Arts: Fifth Style: Malkhese.”
Instead of dodging or repelling the attack, Syarka received it with both hands in open condition. And with a subtle movement, he shifted the direction of Laciel's attack towards the sky.
Basically, a Darkness Meteor attack would explode after hitting a hard object. If it does not explode, it will explode on its own. And that's what's happening right now.
The Darkness Meteor that flew into the sky exploded. The sound of the explosion sounded very loud. But the fragments spread like fireworks. If fireworks are lit at night so that they can be enjoyed because the sunlight is too bright. So, this explosion is able to defeat sunlight.
Laciel gaped at the sight of his strongest attack being able to be knocked down easily.
