Chapter 440
“I will just handle this myself.” Lucas said as he cast an ice and golden fire dragon at Ebony and Ivory respectively.
The ice dragon left a thick trail of ice, while the golden fire dragon was so hot that it melted the ground below it.
Just when the ice and fire dragon were a few meters away from the wolves, their eyes as well as the tattoos began glowing. They took control of the spell and returned it to Lucas.
‘What the fuck?! How?!’ Lucas was shocked to the core when he saw that both elemental dragons were coming back to him.
Lucas had no idea that Ebony and Ivory weren’t just any king rank beast. Not only were the elemental dragons nothing to them, but their control over the fire and ice element was so strong that they could take over his spell.
Snapping out of it, Lucas conjured another set of golden fire and an ice dragon to counter them.
.....
BOOM!
The clash of both sets of spells sent Lucas flying a few meters back.
‘Fuck me!’ Lucas cursed as he got back his footing, but that was when Ebony and Ivory instantly appeared beside him.
“Shit!” Lucas cursed as he tried to jump out of their midst, but standing so close to Ivory had chilled his entire body including his joints, thus drastically reducing his reaction speed.
Wasting no time, Ivory used her powerful jaws to clamp him from the sides before tossing him high up into the air. Ebony jumped up and turned into a flaming tornado that slammed into Lucas.
BOOM!
The collision had caused Lucas to slam into the top of the area that was protected by a barrier, but Ebony wasn’t done yet.
Seeing that his prey was still somehow breathing, it made a turn before slamming him into the barrier while still spinning.
‘That armor is really strong, but that only prolongs the suffering.’ Blake couldn’t help but pity Lucas as the heat and internal damage was ravaging his body.
It was only when the golden barrier appeared that Ebony stopped trying to turn him to paste, before returning to Blake and letting him fall to the ground.
“Winner Blake!” The host announced.
From the start to the finish the nobles were shocked by the power of the wolves. It was more than clear that they weren’t just any common king rank beasts, but the problem here was that none of them knew what specie of wolves they were.
As for the commoners watching the match, they were not only happy that one of them had gotten so far in the tournament, but they felt that Lucas got a taste of his own medicine.
“You were brutal but I like it.” Blake said as he pats Ebony’s head with admiration.
“That’s quite a lot of damage done to the armor, but it should be good enough.” Luciano said as he watched Blake returning to the lobby.
...
‘I guess this is the end of the road for me.’ Castiel let out a helpless sigh as he began making his way to the battlefield.
Just like during their stay in the school, Luciano had easily ended the match with either him or Damon by simply pulling out the pyramid artifact. It looked like it was specially crafted just to deal with the darkness element.
Apart from that, his main element which was fire was inferior to that of Luciano, leaving him with literally no chance of victory.
They only reason he was still going to battle him was that it would be rude not to, especially with the presence of the emperor and counselors.
Once they had taken their positions, the host announced the start of the match.
“Begin!”
Immediately, Castiel began firing fire spells at Luciano, but he easily countered them with his golden flames.
“You must feel helpless.” Luciano said as he began rising into the air using the wind element.
“Don’t worry, I will make it quick.” Luciano continuously fired golden flames at Castiel while flying toward him.
‘Shit!’ Castiel cursed as he was barely keeping up with the flames. He had been focused on how useless his fire element was that he had forgotten that Luciano also had the wind element that greatly increased his mobility.
“Fuck it!” Castiel shouted as he activated Night mist.
“Just as expected.” Luciano smiled.
Fighting a shadow walker in night mist was no different from suicide. The only way of surviving was leaving the spell’s range.
The problem with this was that shadow walkers would use this opportunity to finish off the victim while they turned their back to escape.
This didn’t apply to Luciano, because with the wind element he just flew high up, out of night mist’s range before firing golden flames at the outskirts.
“Time to smoke you out.’ Luciano thought as he continuously poured out the golden flames.
The flames went from the outskirts and gradually into the night mist until they covered its entire range.
Although night mist absorbed the mana of spells and those within, its absorption rate was slower than the supply rate of the flames. Meaning Castiel would either get killed inside or outside.
A few minutes later, Castiel could no longer handle the heat and was forced to leave, but he saw Luciano directly in front of him with his golden sword.
“Good game.” Luciano said the phrase they had taught him as he stabbed Castiel, causing the golden barrier to envelope him.
...
“That was brilliant! I would have done the same thing if I were in his shoes.” Blake said as the match came to a quick end.
“So we will meet in the finals, just as always.” Blake said with a smile on his face.
