Chapter 797 Miranda vs Damien
From MC's perspective:
Duel platform,
The Weapon Wizards are having a bad day. Their positions are being taken one by one. Now, it's up to Damien whether he is going to keep the position or not.
Miranda arrived at the platform and stood opposite him. Everyone thinks that Miranda has an advantage as she is the control-type wizard.
The barrier starts to cover the platform.
Damien, on the other hand, showed a gloomy look on his face. He is wary of the Unique Hall Wizard. As their magic is unpredictable.
And he has seen her duel footage before. The only way to defeat her is to engage in close combat.
When the barrier covered the platform.
The referee gave the signal.
The next second, Damien materializes his weapon magic. A black colored twin dagger appeared in his hands.
He gripped it tightly before charging towards the opponent. He did it without wasting any second.
Miranda was cautious as well. She released her control magic.
In the blink of an eye, the place surrounding her becomes a beautiful garden.
Cheer!
The beautiful spell made the audience cheer. Miranda looks as if she is standing in the middle of the garden.
Damien's eyes flickered. He was expecting this spell. It was the same footage he had seen earlier.
When he enters the green pitch. His speed has changed. His steps are going deep into the ground. Which is making his movements slower.
But he ignored it completely to move forward.
In the blink of an eye,
Several flower plants appear above the green surface because of her spell. Miranda is standing back and controlling the spell as a line of defense.
At the same time, she is controlling a few plants to make their flowers blossom.
Damien on the other hand hesitated to attack the flower by simply using daggers. He fears that those flowers might explode.
When he was showing hesitation. Miranda smiled in her heart. One of the flowers bloomed and released a colorless scent.
When Damien was struggling to move forward. The smell reaches him. By that time he was forced to release the attack spell.
His twin dagger flickered with a blue glint before he started to use the dagger to slice down the obstacles blocking his way.
While doing that he smelled the scent and inhaled it without knowing it. The thought didn't even strike his mind that scent can be harmful.
He is focused on cutting down the flower plants blocking his way.
Miranda showed no emotions on her face. But she is laughing in her heart. Whenever Damien cuts down one flower plane. She is making two more appear.
It may seem Damien is successful. But he is spending more time in the same place. But her real spell attack is not these plants. But the harmful scent.
The scent will take a few minutes to affect his body. Until then she was determined to block his way.
Boom!
One after another, a deafening noise sounded. He strikes those flower plants with weapon magic.
Her green garden was overturned by the attack. But Miranda is using her mana to recover the green garden.
Seeing that Damien let down his guard. He thought his attacks were successful. The opponent was forced to consume mana.
Even if he fails to reach her, he thinks she will run out of mana soon.
Not only he, but others with simple minds are thinking the same as well.
Meanwhile,
"What is she doing?" I said in my heart. I was surprised by her courage earlier. And I know that Unique Wizard Hall was not simple.
In her previous duels, she didn't let her opponent operate nearby. But this guy Damien was a few steps away from her.
I remember she used to strangle her opponents. What is she doing right now?
The people who are supporting Miranda are confused as well.
As the time passes, something becomes clear. Damien's movements are getting slower and slower while cutting down the flower plants.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.
"Did he exhaust his mana?" I said in my heart. The next second, I shook my head. Because it's Damien's first duel.
But when I looked towards Miranda. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Her unusual calmness makes it seem like everything is under her control.
There was no tension on her face.
A few minutes later,
Swish!
Damien suddenly leaped backward to step away from the green garden.
Gasp!
A small exclamation sounded in the arena.
Damien found something wrong with his body. His mana reserves are fine. He can duel for a long time. But something else is affecting his body and making his body movements slower.
At first, he thought it was because of the green surface. It's hard to walk on those surfaces. As time passed, he thought his movements were getting slower because of the rapid consumption of mana.
But later he realized it was something else.
Looking at the calm expression of Miranda.
"She knows," A hint of apprehension flashes in his eyes. He is now standing outside the garden. But he still feels something making his movements slower.
Seeing that Damien was stopped suddenly. Everyone was confused. But the referee saw through everything.
As his rank was higher. He saw the traces of an unusual magic print around Damien. Which was not his but comes from the flower plants.
Miranda is known for trapping and defeating her enemies. Damien fell into a trap. But he has yet to realize it.
After figuring it out, the referee thought about the Unique Hall. The wizards that come from that Hall are mysterious and strong. No one knows information about them.
Here many of them are expecting plant roots to strangle the opponent. But something else is happening.
On the ground, Miranda canceled her spell.
The next second, the whole garden disappears along with the flower plants.
Tad!
Damien on the other hand collapsed onto the ground. He was conscious but his body turned stiff and became immobile.
