Chapter 341: Prodigies
Lightning crackled within the black cloud, loud and encompassing the fake sky. With a gesture, Princess Elara caused a stronger rumble of lightning and instantly directed it towards the charging fire serpent.
The serpent hissed and charged. The lightning struck it. For a moment, the arena was filled with the blinding light of their clash. The crowd gasped in awe. Kazi’s left eye pulsed to see the outcome in advance.
It was a battle of elements, fire against lightning. To think that teenagers were responsible for this was ridiculous. It reminded Kazi of his own battle with Jack.
The serpent was left standing, albeit nearly about to collapse. To call it a victory was foolish. The dark clouds had not dissipated. Princess Elara had much more to offer.
Much, much more. Kazi sensed a thousand Martas worth of mana in the black clouds.
Unwilling to lose ground, Theo manifested a magic circle underneath the serpent to give its form back. The fiery snake lunged at the princess, but with a sweep of her arm, she directed another powerful bolt of lightning from the cloud and channeled it into the serpent’s open maw. The creature roared, its fiery body writhing as it struggled against the onslaught of electrical energy.
"Theo’s serpent is in trouble! The long-range supporting magic circle isn’t enough!" A second magic circle appeared underneath the serpent and the commentator kept going. "Can it withstand the princess’s relentless lightning?"
’That magic circle...’ Kazi’s left eye pulsed and he leaned forward. ’He’s using it against her—’
Theo’s eyes were closed. The magic circle underneath the struggling serpent flared brighter and the fire serpent began to glow with an intense, white-hot light. It wasn’t resisting, it was converting the magical power.
’And since it’s closer to the princess—’
Theo leaped back.
