The Duel at Night_2
So the first step Fisher had to take was to create distance.
He suddenly leapt backward, and in a flash, the hand-cane in his grasp lit up with a Light Halo.
The familiar Bee Dance spell was activated, but this time the Magic Emblem on the hand-cane dimmed slightly.
The buzzing Light Blades in the air obstructed her movements.
“This move is no longer effective!”
Steam gushed from Rafael’s body as he spun at the speed of light, like a top, the Light Blades failing to hit Rafael who was midair.
But Fisher’s aim wasn’t simply to rely on basic Light Blades to decide the outcome of the battle; delaying her offensive stance with this move was already enough.
The white Light Halo on his hand flared up again.
Above him, the most suitable Four-Ring Magic, Gravity Magic, to counter an enemy with extremely fast movement like Rafael.
The familiar sensation of weight appeared around Rafael once again, causing her rapidly-spinning body to crash heavily into the ground.
“Ha…this move…”
Gritting her teeth, Rafael slowly exhaled a breath.
The next second, her scales began to shine like the Sun.
The glow, starkly different from the hardly perceptible one before she came of age, was blindingly bright in the night.
Immediately following, even the Air at her original position was heated to the point of distortion.
For the first time, Fisher witnessed the Dragon-man Species’ method of enhancing their physical attributes in such an exaggerated fashion.
The ground around Rafael cracked completely, a consequence of her moving quickly while resisting the Gravity Magic.
The concrete on the ground and the intensified Gravity twisted like Air as they were toasted by the extreme heat emanating from her.
Once again, her body transformed into a meteor and violently rushed in Fisher’s direction.
Her strategy was simple—engage Fisher in close combat.
Fisher, being Human, couldn’t match her enhanced physique.
The countless spells were the only things that troubled her.
However, spellcasting required time and distance; once engaged in close-quarters combat, Fisher would have no room to cast, and then he would have to face his defeat.
Fisher’s eyes flickered for an instant.
As his body dashed backward, he tore the sleeve off his Left Hand garment.
If one had keen eyesight, they would notice a transparent Dragon Tooth-shaped Magic Emblem etched inside the sleeve.
With Fisher’s improvement in the input and output of Magic Power, the Dragon-man Species’ magic no longer appeared as conspicuous as before.
Now, it only flared with light when activated, much like Human spells.
The moment the sleeve was tossed aside, the Magic Emblem on the inside ignited, and from the void connected by that Emblem, a massive blue wall of Flames erupted, twisting out of proportion.
“Roar!”
Once again, a dragon-like roar sounded as the Flame wall surged, separating Rafael from Fisher.
Possibly due to the refinement, the Flames weren’t as exaggerated as during the night tests, but a wall of fire tens of meters high was enough to block Rafael.
“Ah-ah-ah-ah!”
With an angry roar, her hands aglow with Dragon Claws fiercely pierced through the massive Flame wall.
Then, with her claws hooking onto the Flames, she tore the wall apart as if it were tangible, her crimson horns shimmering in the night sky as if an invisible force enveloped her.
So that was it.
The outward Magic Circuit could grant a half-magical figure to the Dragon-man Species’ body, allowing her to touch the very essence of magic itself.
In Fisher’s eyes, he saw Rafael’s hands invisibly seize the magically imbued Emblem, and as she moved, the strength of the magic could no longer sustain, becoming increasingly precarious.
Anti-magic combined with a strong physique—that was an adult Dragon-man Species…
no, an ordinary Dragon-man wouldn’t be so powerful; only Rafael was this exceptional.
Fisher’s expression remained unchanged, but his body continued to retreat in madness.
In his vision, the scales around Rafael no longer shone as before and grew dimmer.
Rafael sought to pursue once more, but was slowed by some Magic Trap.
Throughout this process, he and Rafael maintained a certain distance.
As time passed, fatigue crept into her body.
With a determined grit of her teeth, she concentrated all her energy in her legs and, with a powerful push against the ground, instantly appeared in front of Fisher in his astonished gaze.
“You can’t escape now!”
Her claw formed into a blade-like shape, aimed precisely at his eyes, as sly as those of a fox…
Ah..
No, why can’t I see any sign of panic in him!
Watching the composed Fisher, Rafael, who got close, had already realized something was wrong, but she was still unwilling to give up this rare opportunity for close combat and struck at Fisher.
But in the next moment, countless glowing silken threads beneath her, as tough as steel wires, tightly entwined her body, from her feet to her torso and then to her hands, binding her completely.
These threads, coming from the void, caused her last strike to miss Fisher by just a little.
Four-Ring Magic, “Spinner.”
Even so, the attack, though still at a distance from Fisher, brought a ripping wind noise as the tremendous force pushed the air toward Fisher’s face, disheveling his hair and scattering his composed expression slightly.
Then, the entire martial arts arena fell silent.
Rafael was tightly bound in place, unable to move, and the scales on her body dimmed, bringing her immense fatigue.
Rafael had lost again.
After a second of amazement at the Dragon-man species’ power, he clapped his hands and concluded,
“Excellent fight, at least you were conscious to play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.”
“But you made two mistakes: you ignited your scales too early to boost your strength, even though I hadn’t shown my hand and went all out.
This shortened the overall fight time and reduced your margin for error; second, you failed to prioritize.
You realized something was wrong with your last strike, but you still stubbornly attacked me, coveting the few opportunities to strike, and so you got caught by the Magic Trap I set.”
Rafael puffed her cheeks and avoided Fisher’s lecturing gaze, as if it could burn her.
But she didn’t feel resentful because everything Fisher said was right—all were slip-ups she had made upon reflection.
“But…” The silk threads around her vanished, and a large hand covered her head, “Aside from that, no significant flaws.
You did well.”
“Ah…” freewebnøvel.com
Fisher, carrying his hand cane, walked over to where he left his suit jacket, his calm voice lingering,
“You owe me two chances for punishment now, and tonight I will use one.”
Rafael blinked in slight shock, her mouth trembling as she reached up to touch her red hair on her forehead.
No…
don’t touch me…
Such things…
Her face flushed with a deep cherry color, and her armor collapsed again at his touch.
Her tail shook excitedly, quickening her heartbeat.
Was it the fight, or was it that person’s touch?
She dared not contemplate.
And as for the matter of punishment, for some reason, Rafael remembered the voices she had heard the night before between Nana and the City Lord.
What if Fisher’s punishment was like that?
