Chapter 186: Beauty in Magic

<hr>

I watched as Arthur and my master stood face to face just a dozen feet apart Their presence collided terrifyingly, sub the room in a heavy shroud as they merely waited

Finally, Miss Watsken’s strained voice croaked fro what she was about to say “Th-The barrier is ready… I think”

Her voice was soft, but Master and Arthur must’ve heard because the auras thickened around the veil of bluish silver surrounded my master unlike Arthur’s aura, which was myriad of different hues—no doubt because of hiswith the elders and even General Bairon watched in silence, each of the I could sy as close as I could without endangering ht of the my master and the presence she had in a rooardless of thejust once with Master was more valuable

Suddenly, Master’s body flickered and disappeared Arthur reacted instantly, his fore Master’s first strike

Where her frozen lance pierced the ground, ice spread

Arthur seeainst Master, because he responded by hurling a shockwave of frost

With a flick of her wrist, Master dispersed the shockwave, using Arthur’s frost to fuel her owninto a dozen spears of ice around Master She clutched her fist and the ice spears beckoned to her call, shooting at her opponent

As impressive as Master’s control over ice was, Arthur’s speed in dodging her barrage was even more splendid His body seees I had heard that he was able to go even faster, but that his body wasn’t able to handle the stress

Soue I turned to see Buhnd with an expression of frustration “I see the young General was holding back on us”

“Arthur has a tendency to hold back with anyone he even suspects is weaker than hith,” Commander Virion said, his ar that form of his—Realmheart, I think he called it,” Hester asked, her face still strained froainst Arthur

“I think it’s so he can enjoy the fight longer,” a light voice answered “It’s not everyday you can see my brother look so happy”

Arthur’s little sister atching atop her bond as if in a trance She had the saaze I often saw Arthur have when he was truly focused on so They really did resemble one another

A loud crash drew my attention back to the battle Where there was once only a dirt field was now a snowy expanse Master, who had just blocked an attack from Arthur, waved her arm and manipulated the snow around her A vortex of frost swirled to life, for serpent

<hr><hr>

Elder Buhnd whistled in appreciation as all gazes followed Master’s creation A snowy frost fored claws and fangs were on opened its maw at Arthur, who readied hi the snow around hion

“Sths,” Hester praised

Arthur lowered his stance, digging his back legs into the ground for support before he unleashed his fiery attack

The coiling vines of blue fire around his ar blast at the frost dragon

Their two opposing spells crashed, enveloping the two of the sphere of stea a barrier of wind around all of us

We all braced ourselves for the shockwave that ripped out froround trembled and cracked while pieces of rock and ice bombarded the protective spell around us

As the cloud of steaures in the air Master was flying with two dozen spheres of frost the size of her fists circling around her Arthur was slowly descending, using wind ic to stay somewhat afloat

With a wave of his arms, Arthur unleashed a torrent of wind blades at Master However, before the crescents reached her, they seeets reduced when air cools,” Arthur chuckled “Don’t I feel stupid for that last attack”

“Ads is a step forward,” Master acknowledged with the slightest hint of a smirk on her face

With a flick of her wrist, the spheres of frost launched forth toward Arthur but not directly at hier they posed because he immediately covered hi both fire and wind to amplify the power of his spell,” Hester remarked

Just as the spheres of frost were about to explode, Arthur unleashed his fiery te Master’s spell

The swirling gale of fire re Arthur within I expected the blue flames to soon dissipate, but instead the e sucked in

<hr>

That’s when I saw it

The blue fla in a layer of blue flaaze locked on the fearsoood if he could manipulate metal for the base of his attack,” Elder Buhnd muttered

As Arthur’s body slowly descended in the air, he hurled his spell Just as the fire and lightning spear was released froust of wind swirled around hih the sky, accelerating rapidly from the added wind he had added lastwind as a supportive spell”

Master was obviously weary of the strength of Arthur’s spell because she conjured layers and layers of protective barriers of ice
