The crowd's applause echoed through the arena as Punnu stood tall, having shattered Glacia's ice golem into pieces. He felt a sense of accomplishment, but he knew the fight was far from over. Glacia, though defeated for the moment, showed no signs of giving up.
As the ice shards settled, Glacia took a step back, a determined glint in her eyes. She took a deep breath and smiled. "You may have bested my ice magic, but it's time to reveal my secret. I, too, possess a second ability."
The crowd fell silent, their eyes fixed on Glacia. The anticipation in the air was palpable.
Glacia raised her hands, and crackling electricity began to dance along her fingers. "Witness my lightning magic!" she declared, her voice echoing with power.
Sparks of electricity surged from her hands, illuminating the arena with a brilliant glow. The air hummed with energy as Glacia unleashed her lightning magic. Bolts of electricity arced through the air, striking the ground with explosive force.
Punnu watched in shock as Glacia's new ability came to life. He had not anticipated facing such a powerful opponent with two abilities. The crowd gasped in amazement, their whispers of awe and excitement filling the arena.
"She has lightning magic too?" one spectator exclaimed.
"Glacia is even more powerful than we thought," another added.
"Can the masked god withstand this new assault?" a third wondered.
Punnu knew he had to stay focused. He quickly activated his barrier creation ability, forming a shimmering shield to protect himself from the incoming lightning strikes. The bolts of electricity struck the barrier, sending ripples of energy through the protective shield.
Glacia's expression was one of fierce determination as she intensified her attacks. She directed her lightning magic with precision, aiming to break through Punnu's defenses.
Punnu knew he couldn't rely solely on his barriers. He had to find a way to counter Glacia's lightning magic. He activated his wind blade ability, channeling sharp gusts of wind along his sword's edge. With swift and precise movements, he deflected the incoming lightning bolts, creating a dazzling display of sparks and wind.
Glacia continued her relentless assault, her dual abilities creating a symphony of ice and lightning. She summoned icy formations that crackled with electricity, sending waves of energy towards Punnu.
Punnu's mind raced as he strategized his next move. He knew he had to be both defensive and offensive. He used his rapid movement to dodge Glacia's attacks, weaving through the storm of ice and lightning. With each step, he closed the distance between them, his sword at the ready.
Glacia's lightning magic surged towards him, but Punnu's barrier held strong. He used his wind blade to cut through the icy formations, creating openings to strike. With a powerful swing of his sword, he aimed for Glacia's defenses.
The clash of their abilities created a mesmerizing display of power and skill. The crowd watched in awe as the two fighters engaged in a fierce battle, each one pushing the other to their limits.
As the fight continued, Glacia's ice magic intensified. She created a massive ice spike and launched it at Punnu with incredible force. Punnu raised his sword to deflect the attack, but the sheer power of the ice spike broke through his defenses, striking him and sending him sprawling to the ground.
Punnu's barrier flickered and faded as pain surged through his body. He struggled to stand, blood trickling from the wound caused by the ice spike. The crowd watched in stunned silence, unsure of what would happen next.
Glacia's expression remained resolute. She knew she had the upper hand, but she also respected Punnu's strength and determination.
With great effort, Punnu rose to his feet, his resolve unwavering. He knew he couldn't give up, not now. The fight was far from over, and he still had a chance to turn the tide.
The arena was filled with tension as the battle between Punnu and Glacia raged on. Both fighters were pushed to their limits, each one determined to emerge victorious. The crowd watched in anticipation, knowing that this epic clash was far from over.
