Scarlet attacked using all her might. She quickly cast a spell that enabled her to unleash a vicious beam of chaotic energy from her both hands but was immediately countered by the man's lighting spell.
It was like they were equals in this battle.
The man was still smiling, and since he was a mage, he could tamper with the forces of nature whenever he wanted. He had just used lightning just now to counter her spell.
"I need to defeat him fast before the pain takes over," she thought.
The pain was getting more intense. But thanks to the adrenaline rush she was feeling, she was still able to avoid it at the moment, but how long could she keep up with this. Anytime soon she would be severed from this golden opportunity.
She decided to attack him head-on and drag him into hand-to-hand combat, which she found a bit easier than spell casting. She charged and threw the first punch, but to her surprise, the mage blocked it using his arms.
