Chapter 806 – United Kingdom Versus Ukraine I
After the match between South Korea and Germany, the next match continued immediately as the next competitors gathered on the stage. The match between United Kingdom and Ukraine started with the first representatives being Merlin and Cersei.
The match between the two is something that the audience did not expect as Pendragon was the one to represent the United Kingdom national team in the first match. The two beauties stood on the stage and did the coin flip with Ukraine being the winner.
Cersei chose the island battleground as water is her friend since Vepar controls not only curses but water as well. Both of them entered the arena with the intent of winning against each other. In fact, Cersei wanted to battle Pendragon as she is the better counter for him.
She could pile on curses against Pendragon that rarely moves. He is the perfect opponent for curse casters like Cersei, but she got the short end of the stick. She is now against someone like Merlin who is proficient in spell casting like her.
Cersei wanted to summon the aspect of Vepar at the start of the match, but she had no one to buy time for her. Two different spells are suddenly directed towards her which are Lightning Bolt and Fire Ball. She had no choice but to conjure up her broom and fly away as she had no other means of evading the attack.
She then saw Merlin looking at her in the sky and also used a spell to levitate in order to be even against her. Merlin did not need something like an item to fly as her natural affinity with the wind element made her able to fly in the sky with ease. Of course, this came with the downside of only being able to use one element to hit Cersei.
Cersei tried casting her curses and hexes while in mid-air, but it proved difficult to properly aim. She had to evade while chanting her curses which means that she had to perform broom acrobatics. She also had Vepar whispering in he ears to warn her of sudden dangers because Merlin could conjure spells at a faster pace compared to others.
Merlin knew that Cersei must be eliminated as quickly as possible since she is wary of the devil that she summons in the battlefield. She did not use powerful spells that take longer to chant as she might get inflicted by curses.
Cersei now being backed into a corner could not believe that she needed to use the skill that she wanted to keep hidden until the finals. She thought she could find a way to win as long as she could hit Merlin with her curses, but the woman she in in combat with is basically a walking grimoire.
Cersei flew towards the body of water and floated an inch above the water. She then used her Devil Tongue to apply ten different curses on her body in order to strengthen herself for the thing that she is about to do.
Merlin knew that something was up which is why she suddenly called for a thunderstorm. The dark clouds in the sky gathered as lightning crackled. She raised her hand while chanting a magic spell and gathered all the lightning on her hand.
"Great Lightning!" Merlin shouted as her voice echoed.
The giant lightning bolt is then redirected towards Cersei who is still busy placing curses on herself. Cersei did not even notice the lightning bolt approaching her as she is focused on her current task. Cersei finally finished chanting as a dark red magic circle appeared below her feet.
"Devil Possession!" Cersei stated but the lightning bolt struck her body upon doing so.
The lightning bolt hit Cersie\'s body, and it exploded into blood. The audience felt that her death was a bit too graphic but there was no announcement that Merlin had won the match. Even Merlin thought it was strange that she did not receive the notification for Cersei\'s defeat.
Merlin is about to use a spell called Pinpoint to detect the whole area for living things, but she suddenly felt a heavy pressure. A huge magic circle suddenly appeared on the surface of the water that is vastly different from the magic circle that Cersei activated.
The magic circle on the water gave off a menacing energy that made Merlin wince. She has never felt such volatile power like that as it was not natural. She then saw the blood that supposed to be Cersei\'s suddenly pooling in the center of the water.
The blood soon formed into a humanoid figure that is that of a woman. That woman is indeed Cersei, but something is different in terms of her form. She now had horns coming out of her temples, bat-like wings and a pointed tail. She had transformed herself into a devil affiliated with the Devil God Vepar.
Cersei did not waste any second and flapped her wings. Merlin, who is focusing on Cersei, suddenly saw that her opponent is nowhere to be seen. Just as she is about to avoid as she suddenly felt danger on her side, Cersei suddenly whispered.
"Too late." Cersei stated in her provocative tone.
Cersei then slapped Merlin using her right hand which made the latter come crashing down towards the water. The sexy figure of the Devil Cersei could be seen looking down on Merlin who came crashing towards the sea.
"She is not yet dead, Cersei." Vepar\'s voice whispered to Cersei.
A huge water column suddenly erupted where Merlin came crashing down on. The sea could be seen splitting into two as if by divine intervention, but it is only due to the mana limiter on Merlin being released.
The screen now showed Merlin but the runic letters on her body now fully visualized. Merlin has a special mechanic where she can redirect the damage she receives to her mana. Just one strike from Cersei deleted her remaining mana which was 70%.. This in turn activated her passive skill called \'Child of Mana\' which is a passive skill that all Daemonios are born with.
