1624 Words
"So my two seniors teaming up on me. That's quite unfair but, it's also quite interesting. Well then, entertain me, do not disappoint me".
Given that the World Tree Magic can bind me, I must be very careful. I must also watch out for Sora since I haven't seen her yet fight except the one earlier.
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Great Tree Ash Descend"!
The world tree spell launched a barrage of attacks towards Shu.
Shu tried to dodge the attacks.
"Tsk, there's just so many of this".
"Lightning Creation Magic: Thunder Sword"!
"That won't do anything".
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Aqua Blast"!
Shu managed to dodge the water spell.
"Like that type of spell would get me".
"What"?!
"My World Tree Magic is continuous. It will keep spreading on the field".
"So you guys lured me with the water magic spell earlier to bind me. It's a good strategy".
"Do you admit defea-"
"But this will not stop me".
"What"?!
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Dispersion"!
"I've forgotten that spell".
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Roar of the Water Dragon"!
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunderstorm"!
The spells have clashed on the field and maked a big fog of smoke.
"I know you are strong Sora but, what makes you think that you can beat me? Your magic and my magic are not compatible to begin with. Do you really think you can beat me"?
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Aqua Spear"!
"What? The spell didn't disappear"?!
Shit.
Shu was sent flying by the spell.
"Tsk, that one is really strong. So you casted a spell right away the first spell is stopped by my magic spell. As expected of my senior".
"And, this World Tree Magic is binding me now again".
"You really never missed even a single detail, Shu". Asahi said.
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder Blades: Barrage"!
"It's the red lightning again. Asahi"!
"I got it Sora".
"World Tree Magic: Guard of the Great Tree Ash"!
"Good thing we have managed to stop it".
"Pierce through! Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder Arrow"!
"What"?!
The spell have pierced through the World Tree Magic.
The spell have hit Sora and Asahi. They have been electrified by the spell.
"Is it even possible to cast a spell out of mana on the field that's been stopped".
"It's the true extent of Mana Zone. Right now, you're witnessing the true abilities of Mana Zone".
Shu immediately vanished and travelled to Asahi.
Shu kicked Asahi which sent him flying to the corner.
"Guess I don't have to hold back anymore".
Sora started concentrating a massive amount of mana around her body.
"So you were just really holding back earlier huh, Sora".
"What a large amount of mana you're condensing right there".
"This is my first time showing this spell to everyone. Not even Asahi nor the Headmaster know this".
"Leave this to me Asahi. Just heal yourself first. We'll need that spell later".
"Sora".
Looks like they are planning something. I have to play safe.
"Mana Zone: Water Field Magic: Lost City of Atlantis"!
"Field Magic? I never expected to see this type of magic here".
"Hmm, so she managed to learn how to use Field Magic huh. She really trained hard within this year. You've done well, Sora". The Headmaster said.
"My Thunder God's Armor is, disappearing"?
"Within my Field Magic, you can't use Mana Zone. That armor of yours is a product of your Mana Zone. Now, how will you fight me, Shu"?
Yeah, she's right. Within the Field Magic, others Mana Zone are completely dominated. It means right now on the field, she is the only one that can use Mana Zone. I must think of a plan. If it ever comes to worst then I'm calling him.
"Guess I'll have to fight with what I have for now".
"Lightning Creation Magic: Thunder Sword"!
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Cyclonic Waves"!
Shu just dodge the water spell.
"Don't think you can get away from me".
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Explosive Waves"!
Shu managed to dodge the second spell.
"Tsk, this is becoming harder for me. I mustn't lose my cool otherwise I'll not be able to think of a plan".
"Mana Zone: Water Binding Magic: Hydro Lock"!
"s**t. At this position, I will not be able to dodge it".
Guess I have no choice then.
Shu infused himself with Light Magic so that he can dodge Sora's spell.
"Your field magic is surely becoming a nuisance, Sora". Shu said.
"I can't afford to lose to my junior. I still have my pride as a senior".
"Mana Zone: Water Magic: Water Spear: Barrage"!
"Tsk. There's no end to this".
Shu just continues on slashing the water spears.
"Mana Zone: Water Magic-"
Sora didn't managed to finish chanting the spell because Shu is at his back standing while pointing his Thunder Sword on her neck.
"H-how did this happen"?
"If you think that I can't do this without Mana Zone, then you've probably misunderstood something. It's true that with Mana Zone, you can move faster depending on your magic attribute. I just use it so I can move faster in the mid-air. But right now, it's a different concept. I've infused the lightning magic to my body inside so that I can travel here faster".
"To do something like that, only a mage with excellent mana control can do that. As expected of you, Shu".
"Do you admit defeat then? I don't want to hurt a woman with my own hands".
"Yes. I admit defeat".
"Then, that settle it".
The Field Magic is now disappearing. Hoo, good thing it's already over.
"Don't think you've won already Shu. I'm still standing". Asahi said as he is walking towards Shu.
"Oh that's right, you've been knocked out for some time now, Asahi. You still do not admit defeat huh".
"Now that the arena is only ours, let's enjoy this battle to the fullest".
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Blooming of the Great Tree Ash, and"
"Mana Zone: World Tree Field Magic: Great Ash Forest"!
"Another field magic"?
"Oh, so he can also use now a field magic. Looks like those two have really trained hard this year". The Headmaster said.
I'm almost out of Mana just from what I did earlier. I can't afford to use my spirit magic to win this. But, I can't afford to lose either. I must think of a plan to get through this.
"Mana Zone: World Tree Magic: Binding of the Great Tree Ash"!
Shu managed to s***h through the spell.
"Tsk, I am just barely keeping up with him. At this rate, I will lose".
"You must've been exhausted from your fight earlier with Sora. You are running out of mana now".
"I can't deny the fact that I am running out of mana now. But, I can't just give up. A true mage (Magic Knight), doesn't give up until it's not over".
Shu starts releasing his final amount of mana into the environment.
"Releasing your own mana wouldn't do anything, Shu. You're just speeding up your own demise".
"I'm not just releasing mana to the environment".
As soon as the mana reaches the clouds, something suddenly glows.
"Arrays? When did you have the time to set this? Maybe this is Mana Method? Or Summoning Magic"?
"I set the arrays while fighting Sora earlier. Since I can't use Mana Zone, I'm thinked that I might as well set this array up if ever the worst situation comes. I don't want to call him even if this is the finals of the Magic Competition. I will just find a way to win this. But, this is a different case. What I hate the most, is losing".
As soon as he completed the array, the clouds started to release some lightning and thunder sound.
A large amount of lightning magic is gathering at the array.
"Come down, the dragon that can rival the light in speed. Summoning Magic! Come forth, the long lost lightning dragon, Skylark"!
As soon as the dragon unravels itself while spreading its wings, everyone in the arena is shocked.
"W-What?! Skylark"?!
The Headmaster and Sora are also surprised by Shu's summoning.
"That is, the long lost lightning dragon, isn't it, Headmaster"? Sora asks as she is also surprised to what's happening.
"Yes. It disappeared 1000 years ago. So he is the one chosen by the Skylark huh. Looks like we do really stand a chance this year at the Magic Competition".
Hmm, his grimoire became a four-leaf clover. So a four-leaf clover appears when he calls the dragon. Just what kind of grimoire do you have Shu? And most importantly, just who are you?
"Skylark?! The dragon that disappeared 1000 years ago. You were the one whose chosen"?
"I still have my Field Magic. You can't release the full potential of your dragon if you can't use Mana Zone".
"That won't even be a problem. My dragon wields lightning magic, the sky is our own field".
"What"?!
"Mana Zone: Lightning Field Magic: Skylark's Realm, and"
"Mana Zone: Lightning Magic: Thunder God's Armor"!
At my current state, with this low mana, I only have a few shots left right now. I can't afford to exhaust myself again. It would be bad if the devils were to attack.
"Is it even possible for two field magics to exist at the same time, Headmaster"? Sora asks.
"Yes. In this situation, the sky is Shu's field while the land is Asahi's field. Looks like this will be a battle of long ranged magic spells. Their mana territory is limited due to the fact that the Field Magic can absolutely dominate others Mana Zone". The Headmaster replied.
"Well then, let the real battle, begin". Shu said.
