The room was filled with an ice-cold tension. Both myself and my father stared at the other, waiting for our opponent to make the first move.
In a duel of magical abilities, one must strike fast and precisely if they wish to win. Mana is a limited resource, and even though I have an utterly absurd amount of it within me at the moment, that does not mean that I am capable of using all of it frivolously.
My father is incredibly experienced when it comes to magical duels as well. I have already faced him once before, but that was practice. This is a real battle with real stakes.
The first to move and land the first blow will be the victor, thus both of us cannot act without thought.
"Tael-san, you need to move quickly! Derimus Imun-san's Demon Style allows him to absorb all of the energy in the area! All of the mana within you will be drained away if you wait!"
