Drowned in power

Julia's eyes widened in determination as she felt the surge of energy within her. "Amplify!" she shouted, channeling her mana with fervor.

The single God's Tear shimmered, splitting into two, then three radiant orbs, each glowing with holy light. The sight was awe-inspiring, but despite her best efforts, the power of the black lightning remained relentless. 

The multiple God's Tears hovered in the air, their brilliance illuminating the darkening battlefield, but they struggled against the malevolent force of Julian's spell.

The black lightning crackled and danced around them, consuming the space between with its dark energy. 

Issabel watched in awe, feeling the intensity of the clash. "You can do it, Julia" she urged, her voice filled with encouragement.

But as the God's Tears gathered, Julian's laughter echoed through the training grounds, confident and unwavering. He knew that his dark power was formidable, and he relished the challenge posed by Julia's radiant magic. 

As the two spells continued to collide, the ground beneath them trembled, and the air was charged with energy.

"That's three moves, dear Julia," Julian mocked, a playful grin spreading across his face as he reveled in the tension of the moment. "Looks like you're in a bit of a bind." 

Julia glared at him, her determination unyielding despite the challenge. 

"I'm just getting started," she shot back, her voice steady. She could feel the weight of the battle, but she refused to back down. 

With renewed focus, she gathered her energy, her aura glowing brighter as she prepared for her next move.

"I won't let you win that easily!" she declared, her eyes fixed on him, filled with a mix of defiance and fierce spirit. 

Julian chuckled, enjoying the banter and the thrill of the competition.

"Bring it on, then! Let's see what you've got," he replied, eagerly anticipating her next move.

Julia shouted "God's Wrath!" and suddenly a magnificent goddess-like figure materialized behind her, joining its hands in a divine gesture.

A blinding light enveloped the battlefield, so intense that Julian and Issabel instinctively shut their eyes, shielding themselves from the overwhelming radiance. 

When they finally opened their eyes, the scene before them was transformed. The ominous black lightning that had dominated the field was gone, replaced by the divine glow of Julia's power.

The goddess figure radiated an aura of purity and strength, and Julian felt a rush of energy as he absorbed the sight. 

"Impressive," Julian admitted, his playful demeanor shifting slightly as he regarded Julia with newfound respect.

"You've managed to turn the tide. But don't think that's enough to win just yet." 

Issabel watched with wide eyes, captivated by the display of magic.

"This is getting intense!" she exclaimed, feeling the excitement of the battle heighten. "What's your next move, Julian?" 

Julian smirked, unfazed by the challenge.

"You'll see. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve," he replied, confidence oozing from his every word as he prepared for his counterattack.

Julian's aura intensified, radiating power as his eyes glowed a fierce red.

With a calm yet commanding voice, he declared, "Lightning Trident." 

In an instant, a magnificent trident crackling with electricity manifested in his hands, its sheer presence causing the entire castle to tremble.

Julia and Issabel felt a surge of anxiety wash over them as they struggled to circulate their mana. The atmosphere thickened with tension, and fear crept into their hearts as they realized the overwhelming might Julian commanded.

Julia's voice rang out, "I give up!" But Julian, his aura darkening with an ominous intensity, didn't seem to hear her plea.

With a swift motion, he launched the Lightning Trident in her direction. The trident cut through the air with a crackling energy, its power so immense that the other elemental forces within the training ground were subdued instinctively.

The very fabric of the surroundings quivered in response to its might, leaving Julia and Issabel in a state of disbelief and dread as the trident soared toward them.

Issabel's voice pierced the tension as she shouted, "Julian, she gave up! Stop it!"

Panic laced her words, but Julian remained motionless, locked in a trance of power and ambition. The Lightning Trident continued its path, crackling with raw energy, while Julia's eyes widened in fear, realizing the impending impact.

In that moment, the air was thick with uncertainty as everyone awaited the outcome of Julian's reckless display of dominance.
