Chapter- 35 : Albatross vs Flamedemon

"For the 4th battle of copper rank today, let's call the fighter no. 7 and no. 8"

It's time for Elena's battle. She's formidable in magic, there aren't many among the copper rank fighters who can defeat her.

Elena and her opponent entered the fighting ring. Her opponent is a tall man in his mid twenties.

"Let's welcome, with 12 wins and only 2 losses the 'Young Nightingale', and her opponent is with 13 wins and 6 losses the 'Earthbender'"

Both of them have magic staff in their right hands.

Elena's magic staff is black in color, and there is a diamond-like transparent jewel embedded on its head, and the part around the jewel is carved into the shape of wings.

"Both sides get ready!....the battle begins!"

[Author: It's been two days and I couldn't come up with a good enough fight sequence, so let's skip this fight. It was a filler fight anyway]

*a few minutes later*

"Earthbender can't fight anymore, Young Nightingale wins!"

The fight was completely one sided. Elena had absolute advantage in terms of attribute and magic core ability so she won without a hitch.

"I won!"

Elena said cheerful as she came back in the waiting area. Maybe fighting is the only thing that boosts her enthusiasm.

"You did great. I think you will reach silver rank in a few months"

We are students so we can't regularly come to the battle arena but once in a while is not a problem

Elena now just needs to win nine more battles to reach the silver rank and honestly, she might be one of the strongest in the copper rank.

After that we watched several fights and it's finally the time for the first silver rank battle of today. Means it's time for my battle.

"For the first silver rank battle! Let's welcome the fighter no.1, with 3 wins and 0 losses, Flamedemon!"

A tall man in red clothes entered the battle ring, he is wearing a mask but by his physics one can tell that he is in his mid twenties.

"And his opponent for today is the fighter no.2, with 2 wins and 0 losses, Albatross!"

I entered the battle ring on the call of the host.

Yes, I have registered with the name 'Albatross' because all my other choices were already taken.

There's already an 'Azure Dragon', 'Sky God', 'Blue Dragon' and even 'Leviathan', because Cerulean City is the base of the best Water magic users in the kingdom and somehow there are also several Wind magic users as well.

so I finally ended up with 'Albatross'

[Author: If anyone has a good idea for the name then please suggest, I may change it in the future]

"Flamedemon! Flamedemon!"

This guy has quite some fans. He has won three battles of silver rank without any losses so he must be a strong opponent.

"Both sides get ready!....the battle begins!"

At the call of the host, both of us lifted our magic staff.

Mine is an azure color staff with a white pearl in the middle of its head, embedded between fin shape design that makes it look like a spear.

On the other hand Flamedemon's magic staff has a red metallic shade and looks heavier than standard magic staffs.

Both of us simultaneously used our opening moves. I used 'Water Arrows' while my opponent used 'Fire Balls'.

A few of his fire balls collided with my water arrows while I dodged the rest. But unlike me, flamedemon didn't dodge, instead he cast another spell 'Fire Storm'.

A torrent of flames appeared before him and blocked the water arrows and approached in my direction.

𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘪𝘳𝘥.

Water has a natural advantage over fire but his fire balls were able to equally match against my water arrows and his firestorm also suppressed them.

This is normally only possible by 'Extreme Fire' attribute but his fire is not that hot, it's still only at the level of the normal fire.

But then how?

𝘓𝘦𝘵'𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘵.

I activated my 'Horizon Eye' and cast more Water Arrow.

"Hahaha what a kid! Is this the only magic you can use?"

Flamedemon tried to provoke me but I am already more interested in something else.

My Water Arrows collided with his Firestorm as he also increased his magic output to block them.

Then I noticed something. Whenever my arrows collide with his firestorm, the flame on that area faintly becomes purple for a moment.

*gulp*

𝘖𝘩 𝘨𝘰𝘥! 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘪𝘵'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘪𝘵'𝘴.

I am starting to feel nervous but I can't back down without verifying my doubt. As I made up my mind, both of us almost simultaneously launched another magic spell.

Flamedemon used 'Fire Line', pure fire attribute version of 'Solar Flare'. It attacks in a single direction at much faster speed than fire balls.

I countered it with my 'Aqua Drill' as both our attacks collided in the middle and it became stalemate.

Generally speaking, 'Aqua Drill' should have beaten the fire line because of its heavier mass and natural elemental advantage but again, the fire line resisted it and this time the purple shade was more visible than before.
