"Well, I'm the one that can. As time goes on, you'll find that most Mages can deal with flames with their bare hands. For me, it's an attribute of having Void's Emergence. Not only it gives me weapons to use, but it also gives me the ability to amp up my body's defenses," explained Z.
Mavislin was still shocked as she understood what that meant.
"Enhancement Magecraft," she replied.
"I'm, once again, impressed that you know of such Magecraft. Gillian and Ysabeau have taught you well," smirked Z.
"Nope, Angry Man told me how Enhancement Magecraft is used."
"Well, since he was my old sparring partner. I can't blame him."
She then sighed, understanding what she was truly up against. Thank god he had held his powers back when she and her partner were forced to battle the Lost Mage. Otherwise, it would be quite a show. She then concentrated the majority of her Elements into the palms of her hands.
"Ignis. Aqua. Terra. Ventus. Lumen. Obscurum, (Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Light. Dark.)" she chanted, aiming the huge rainbow-colored ball in the vicinity of her opponent.
He placed all his Elemental Energy into his shield, making it at a colossal size now. It was now covering Z from head to toe. He placed his trust in his spell to protect him. However, Z decided to up the ante.
Seeing it was a similar spell to his version, he chanted out Oasis of the Elements to combat Mavislin's attack. As the young girl watched the spell being formed, it was clear she showed trepidation when faced with the same spell. Or because she was afraid to hurt a comrade?
"Stop thinking that!" he yelled, causing her to flinch.
"What do you mean?"
"Give up your compassion for this moment and focus all your Elemental Energy into that attack. Don't worry about killing me."
The topic of killing was still a dangerous thing to talk about in front of her. She showed even more hesitation.
"This is the only way to prove to yourself that you are strong. If you waver in fear of yourself, then the spell will be unable to reach its full potential. Don't hesitate just because I am your ally! Within this realm, we are enemies!" shouted Z.
Z tried his best at convincing her to use every ounce of her strength. Had she been displaying so much hesitance? Why couldn't she stop hesitating? Was she scared to hurt Z? But that was the point of training, or else she can't progress.
Mavislin shook her head. She had no mercy when she lost control and killed the entire mob back at the graves. And even during the village pranks, she could easily perform spells. And even at the tryouts, she could deliver great amounts of damage. So why is she hesitating so much now?
She then took a deep breath in and allowed all of her Elemental energy to flow through from her arms and into the giant ball of Elements. The spell began increasing in both size and Aura.
"Ordinata Ex Elementis! (Array of Elements)"
Without a second thought, the pumped-up Mage launched the spell at the astral Mage, who met with the attack vehemently. The two masses of energy collided, fighting against each other. It was at equal strength as the two tried to dominate each other.
Mavislin watched in awe as the two masses of Elements became a huge ball of rainbow lights. But the two had their worries when the two spells merged into one. They looked at each other, with little Mavislin being the most scared.
"What do we do?" she asked, voice shaking.
Seeing it was going to be a problem, Z tried to push the ball back but was taken off guard as the realm started to shatter. Cracks appeared around them. He looked at the spell. It was still growing as if it was feeding off from each other.
The child looked at Z with uncertainty. He was trying his best to move and contain the spell. If they had allowed this gargantuan size of a spell out, the whole area will be annihilated. And let's say if they had started in the mountains, the spell could reach into the next domain.
But they started at a place nearby to a village and the capital of the Campania domain. And they were still considered to be in the Old Chapel, so the spell will wipe out the entire Campania domain. Its shock wave will desolate anything within a close radius.
"Nagyeyelong Stardust! (Freezing Stardust)" yelled the Galaxian Mage.
Dust and snow formed from Z's palms, in an attempt to beat and control the spell. It overwhelmed the mass of power. The place was going to convulse if the two do not fully neutralize the spell.
