"Isn't it better if I take off my armor or can I wear it?"
"True, you're already forgetting to remind you of that. The causes and boot can stay, but the armor above the belt has to come off, didn't you forget to come dressed in a sturdy shirt underneath?"
"No."
"Glad you remembered, and why do you have a slob accompanying you?"
I look back and see teacher Balder behind me staring at me.
"Hi, there's an interesting fight going on between the mages over there. This is one of my teachers, Captain Raven, he is interested in the fights so he ended up coming with me"
"You have to learn to lie better, Ulric, I know your mistress and I know who he is even though I haven't met him personally. I don't think it's weird that he followed you the last time you fought the night ended in shit, if he hadn't been here to take you to the institute, I would have taken you."
"Serious? I didn't think you cared so much about me."
"I'm not so worried about you. Your mistress made it very clear to me, if I am responsible for you getting hurt or dying, I must start running and never stop."
"I believe in you. Looks like the fight is over, I'm going to take off my armor."
The epic and very exciting combat the two fire mages are having reached its climax when one of the idiot mages focused his attack on a point the wall of fire was reaching its limit. All the joy that the end of this fight had brought was taken away when the fire mage who was attacking started screaming as if he was making a monumental effort.
This was very embarrassing, he was screaming so loud that his voice was tuned and it looked like he was about to get dirty, but in the end, he managed to break through the wall of fire and burn the enemy target.
The fight ended wonderfully, but instead of leaving the stage the winning fire mage who looked like he had just finished a marathon started celebrating his victory on stage as if it was something to be proud of. I wasn't the only one hit by this unusual blow, all the stands were silent that lasted a long time, but it was broken when the imbecile mage was hit by a piece of fruit.
The sound that dominated the arena was of boos and fruit and garbage being thrown at the mage, the piece of fruit that hit the mage first was the signal for the mage to be hit by waves and waves of garbage and fruit. The red mage's cloak became brightly colored as he ran out of the arena, the warriors working in the arena had to remove the bonfires and a lot of rubbish in order to clean the arena.
It took a few minutes for the arena to return to its clean state, I was on one side of the arena ready to fight as I watched the mummy being freed from its shackles, although he has no expression on his face, I can easily see his aura gets intense showing how excited he is to hurt me.
A voice from someone I didn't expect came from behind me as I climbed into the arena.
"Be careful, the art he cultivates can warp his body and that is hiding his true age. This guy is over thirty years old; he must have spent a lot of time cultivating body arts and for his aura to strengthen his combat power don't think he's an ordinary warrior."
This is shocking and I really owe Balder one right now, I didn't notice it on my enemy. Even if this guy's talent is bad, he should have a stronger core, he must have focused on arts to strengthen his combat power so he could sacrifice many victims to his god to be able to strengthen his core.
I climb into the arena and face my opponent head on, the moment the judge gave the signal, the mummy and I advanced towards each other, but the moment I saw his aura filling his body I realized that something was very wrong. In his arms there was a stream of darker aura that was building up to his wrist in a ball shape, this feels so wrong and I won't fall into his trap.
I lunged forward ready to dodge his fist, a single punch came my way but I didn't dodge backwards like normal in this situation I lunged forward and dodged to the left where he could punch me with his second fist. This unusual move surprised the mummy, but it didn't stop his fist from releasing his aura as a project but as I was already moving out of the path of his fist this attack didn't have a chance to hit me.
This attack was not really common, inside that aura bullet was a circle of dark gray aura in the center of it. That aura must have some negative or fatal effects, Balder was right about the mummy.
When he tried to attack me with his second hooked fist, I blocked him using my elemental energy and aura, I used my new wind element form to make an aura reinforced wind barrier to block his fist and deflect it out without touching it. With his chest open I landed a direct punch on his chest, my fist was full of aura and lightning, but this fist didn't hurt him much more it was enough to burn his skin and make him back away a little.
The wind block was really effective the dark aura that tried to hit me from his punch was blocked and sent into the mummy's body again, the only problem with doing this that is a mental burden and consumes a lot of my energies. I didn't miss the opportunity and put even more pressure on the mummy, he tried to hit me again with his fists, but I used my elemental energy and aura to block him, as I kept very close to him the mummy couldn't gather strength in his blows.
But the mummy wouldn't fall so easily my second lightning-covered punch didn't do as much damage to the mummy's body because he covered his body with a layer of dark earth with a considerable amount of energy concentrated in the torso of his body.
Not only was his body strengthened but his elemental energy was unusual as well, the color of the mummy's pale skin turned a much darker tone because of his elemental energy it looks like it's not normal for this guy. The apostles of evil gods are really dangerous.
I landed more than seven punches on the mummy's body, but the earthen husk and skin didn't completely break. His torso was darker and cracked, but unfortunately, I won't be able to maintain this tactic for long so I'll step up my damage power.
My next punch wasn't simply covered with ordinary lightning, I used my new punch with the lightning element from the elemental source. I've developed a trick to use it, but using it takes even more energy than is sensible.
My lightning fist is almost the opposite of the punch I used the first time with this elemental energy, my fist is filled and covered with my normal lightning element energy and after it a thick layer of my new elemental energy form. The normal punch I use consists of punching my opponent releasing two waves of lightning against his body to damage him.
My new fist consists of my opponent being hit by the wild and aggressive energy of the lightning element and then I hit him with my lightning fist discharging a new wave of lightning that will push the energy of the lightning element that is already in my body. target even further into it. The purpose of this punch is to be a lightning-piercing fist, I'm aiming for the mummy's organs.
A dark circle formed where I hit the mummy's body, the lightning element in this new form is really destructive. When I was experimenting with her, I used very little energy and I already hurt myself well, on my last hit I used about five times the amount of energy, that amount should be enough to destroy my arm and char a good part of my body. skin and some of my flesh, and I have good resistance against the lightning element.
This blow really affected the mummy the pain he must have been feeling must have been very great, because even the mummy's frustrated face became a face distorted by the pain my blow gave him. To finish him I hit him two more blows, expending a large amount of elemental energy, a black circle deepened even more inside the mummy's body that fell to the ground bleeding from the mouth.
Maybe I overdid it too much, the mummy on the floor isn't even moving beyond the blood that's coming out of his mouth, but that hasn't lessened my wound. My piercing punch worked really well and didn't hurt my arm it just expended a lot of energy.
This fight was short, but I ended up using up more than half of my elemental energy plus a few hits I would be dangerously close to running out of elemental energy. Outside of this arena it will be really difficult to use my elemental energy in its most destructive form, I must only use it in killing blows against strong enemies.
