Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits-Novel

Chapter 215  W-What is that bitch doing!?

"I suggest you give up as well.

My fiancée does not like people who hurt me and I am currently bleeding with you two standing next to me."

Vaan spoke with a playful smile on his face. Seeing the playful smile on his face as he spoke those words while being inside a shield, Kaelen's mouth twitched in annoyance. "You think we'd be scared of her?" He questioned as he narrowed his eyes. However, instead of being provoked or angry, Vaan's smile brightened up, "Don't say I didn't warn you." Saying those words, Vaan turned his head towards Elara, the smile on his face had disappeared, and, "Khawwkk!" He coughed out blood as his hands reached his bloodied chest. "VAAN!!" Elara shouted in worry. Vaan however, just glanced at her and then closed his eyes, groaning in extreme pain. "Ugghh…" 'This fucking bastard…' Kaelen was speechless. However, he wasn't given time to pass any sort of comment on that as suddenly, "Kaelen, Dodge!" He heard a shout and as he moved his head, he noticed a giant Fireball coming from above. Kaelen's body moved on its own, his Aura rushed towards his legs as he jumped away. Alaric did the same, however, *BOOOOM* As the Fire Meteor fell on the ground, the explosion was so big that just from the impact alone, the two swordsmen flew away, losing their balance and falling on the ground. Vaan, on the other hand, was unharmed, however, even the Diamond Veil trembled from the impact of Elara's spell. Vaan gulped, he turned towards his fiancée whose eyes were moist, with an angry expression on her face, she glared at the two fallen swordsmen in front of her. She quickly drew Magic Patterns for her next Spell, the two Swordsmen took this time to stand up and prepared to rush towards her, But then, *Whoosh* Elara's spell was complete. "Lake of Flames." A 4th Circle Spell Elara had used before. With Elara as a center fiery flame formed a circle with a radius of 30 meters. Cutting away almost all the options for the swordsmen to come at her without getting burned by her spells. Honestly, in a battle like this, it was straight-up cheating, Alaric and Kaelen wanted to cry about it before as they could only stop in their tracks and glare at their opponent. However, before they could try, they saw something even more traumatizing, Elara was still drawing Magic Patterns. She wasn't done yet. Seeing that performance, Professor Isadora was mesmerized, without any more analyzing or waiting, she declared the result of the battle, "It's over. That girl won." "…" Professor Alistair, who pretty much represented the Swords Division and should have supported his students didn't say anything and only observed the battle with a grim look on his face. "Professor Isadora, why do you say so?" Finley questioned, wanting to know Professor Isadora's thought process. The Professor, however, simply shook her head and with a light smile appearing on her face, she replied, "I can just tell." She wasn't alone. Declan, who came here to watch this match narrowed his eyes as well, then, after momentarily looking at Elara one last time, he turned around. "Put that girl together with Vaan. She's equally dangerous." He ordered the student standing next to her before he walked away. Not even bothering to watch the battle any further. "She's quite strong." Isabel, who was watching the match together with Orion commented with a surprised look on her face. Elara always had a calm and innocent aura around her, she rarely spoke and Isabel could tell that she was shy around others, yes, she knew she was a Star Student, however, she just thought it was because she became, she became a 4th Circle Mage when she is just 21. She never thought that as a mage, Elara was anything special but this…

"What do you think Astra taught her for so many years?" Orion, on the other hand, chuckled. "The two of them never stood a chance in this battle." He shrugged. The moment Vaan challenged the two and chose Elara as his partner, he understood what that shameless son of his was up to. He knew that if Elara was given enough time to cast her spells, then no matter who she was facing, Declan, Isabel, or any 4th Star Swordsman, using any sort of Artifact that was allowed in duels, It wouldn't matter. Elara's timing and spell accuracy were just that strong. "Don't worry! We just need to hold on till her Mana runs out! Once that's done, the match is over!" Unlike others, Alaric still had a fight left in him. He knew he wasn't in a position to give up, especially when they had pledged their loyalty to Declan, losing when they were accepted to his faction… They couldn't even imagine what their Fate would be.

Kaelen gulped, not wanting to imagine the scenario, he nodded, preparing to dodge Elara's incoming attacks, But then,

Elara's next action made him widen his eyes in horror. "Flame bomb." She spoke as she raised both hands, a giant Fireball 2-meter in radius was summoned right on top of her hand. 'W-What is that bitch doing!?' He questioned, his body trembling in fright. He wasn't a mage however, even he could tell that this wasn't a spell he could on. If the spell connected, he would be obliterated, and it wouldn't just end with a severe injury, his body would be incinerated on the spot. Kaelen glanced at the woman casting that spell, the innocence that once shined in those eyes had long disappeared, now, the girl wasn't worried about hurting others anymore, rather, the rage in her eyes as she glared at froze Kaelen's body. He finally understood why Vaan suggested them to give up, actually, he was even considering doing that right now, however, "Dodge!" Alaric's loud shout was heard. The giant Fireball was already rushing towards Kaelen. Again, the Aura inside his body burst out as he rushed away, but suddenly, a Magic Circle appeared on the ground that was right in front of him and the stage floor suddenly turned uneven. "Stall Steps." A 4th Circle Earth Elemental Spell.

The spell was so quick that Kaelen couldn't help but lose his balance and fall. 'No!' He feared that the spell would hit him, however, he soon noticed that he was outside its line of collision. 'Haahh…' he sighed in relief, his action, however, was taken a little soon, [Direction Manipulation] The Direction of the giant fireball changed, it rushed towards the fallen him and Kaelen's face paled in absolute fright. He was dead. *KABOOMMM*
