Chapter 312 Chapter311-Saphir's Fierce Duel with 54
The intensity of their clash escalated, with flames and dark energy colliding, radiating both scorching heat and the scent of mortality.
Gradually, Saphir recognized the formidable prowess of 54 and braced himself for a relentless confrontation.
Summoning the last vestiges of his magic energy, he was enshrouded in flames, his form resembling a razor-sharp blade as he lunged at 54.
Almost instinctively, 54 dodged Saphir's assault, simultaneously thrusting his dagger towards Saphir's chest.
However, his strike missed its mark, as Saphir nimbly sidestepped the potentially lethal blow.
Pivoting, Saphir retaliated with vehemence, the raging inferno within pushing him to strike without mercy, vowing to fell this detestable foe then and there.
From Saphir's hand materialized a blazing fireball, charged with destructive force, hurtling towards 54.
Sensing the dread potency of the incoming projectile, 54 dared not be complacent.
Swiftly evading, he invoked his assassin techniques, attempting to meld into the shadows.
Yet, Saphir had anticipated this.
He pinpointed 54's location, swiftly casting a spell that produced a smokescreen of fiery mist.
The smoke billowed rapidly, cloaking the entire battlefield.
Enveloped in dense obscurity, 54 found his vision utterly obscured.
Seizing the advantage of the enveloping smoke, Saphir swiftly initiated a locating spell, striving to pinpoint 54's exact position.
As each moment ticked by, Saphir's heartbeat accelerated, knowing the smokescreen would soon dissipate.
He needed to lock onto 54 before he could blend into the shadowy stealth.
Unexpectedly, a tightening sensation gripped his back, sensing a thread of murderous intent approaching from behind.
Instantly, he spun around, brandishing his wand to fend off the attack.
To his astonishment, 54 had managed to silently extricate himself from the mist, approaching Saphir from the rear and aiming for his heart in a blindsided strike.
Snapping back to reality, without a shred of hesitation, Saphir unleashed a fire blast spell, sending 54 hurtling backwards, while he himself staggered several steps back.
Amidst the darkness, a fierce showdown commenced.
Both combatants poured out every ounce of their strength, determined to vanquish the other at any cost.
Flames clashed with dark energy, resulting in a thunderous cacophony.
The sweltering heat juxtaposed with the icy cold made it seem as if the entire realm quivered.
Feeling his mana nearing depletion, Saphir hastily seized a moment of respite, downing a mana restoration potion from his bag.
His body radiated even brighter flames, and his eyes sparkled with unwavering resolve, vowing to bring an end to this battle with his own might.
54, sensing Saphir's determination, drastically increased his speed, aiming for a lethal blow.
Yet, much to his chagrin, it was as if Saphir had anticipated this; his magical shield remained as unyielding as ever.
Their offenses and defenses intertwined, each collision causing the fabric of space to tremble fiercely.
Flames and dark energy twisted together, emitting terrifyingly eerie pulses.
Suddenly, 54's silhouette vanished on the spot, submerging into the shadows once again.
Saphir recognized that familiar lethal intent, gripping his flaming scepter tightly, his entire being igniting into roaring flames.
From the depths of darkness, 54 leaped forth, his gaze brimming with iciness.
"Saphir, you should feel honored, for it was by my hand that your most cherished ones, your wife and child, were killed," 54 sneered coldly.
A flash of anguish crossed Saphir's eyes, but he knew he couldn't afford to let his emotions be toyed with in this moment.
"You animal, you will pay for this!" Saphir roared softly, releasing an intense surge of blazing flames, igniting even the surrounding air.
Not to be outdone, 54 dodged swiftly and retaliated.
Using his nimble agility, he repeatedly closed in on Saphir, attempting to deliver a fatal blow from behind.
Yet, Saphir had prepared for this.
At the outset of their battle, he had cast a spell specifically designed against assassins, preventing their strikes from piercing easily.
The two engaged in a fierce showdown.
Flames clashed with daggers, weaving together to paint a heart-stopping tableau.
The roaring flames illuminated the surrounding space in a crimson glow.
54's assassin skills were masterfully honed; each of his strikes deftly avoided Saphir's flames.
Their moves intertwined, their combat dance reminiscent of a blade's graceful yet perilous glide.
As the battle raged on, Saphir gradually felt his strength waning, fatigue creeping upon him.
But he was well aware there was no turning back; he had to fight till the end.
54 adeptly evaded Saphir's onslaught, seemingly with ease.
However, a trace of unease began to stir within him.
He was acutely aware of Saphir's prowess and the deep-rooted animosity between them, concluding Saphir wouldn't be unprepared.
Indeed, Saphir abruptly halted his assault, his eyes shimmering with burning flames, as an overwhelming magical aura erupted from him.
"Burn, burn with all your might!" Saphir roared.
In an instant, the entire battlefield was engulfed in flames, trapping 54 within their fierce embrace.
The inferno seared 54's flesh, his screams piercing the air as he tried to break free from the fiery cage.
Yet, his efforts were in vain.
The flames bound him like unyielding ropes, allowing no escape.
"This is the punishment you deserve!" Saphir declared coldly, his eyes brimming with vengeance.
Seeing the murderer he had hunted for a decade now writhing in the very flames he had conjured, a profound satisfaction swelled within Saphir.
54's shrill screams of agony echoed, sensing the looming shadow of death.
Yet even at death's door, not a hint of weakness tainted his demeanor.
In fact, a glint of madness shone in his eyes.
"Saphir, do you truly believe this will defeat me? How naive!" 54's voice dripped with scorn. "You can't even truly imprison me!"
With a sardonic chuckle, 54's silhouette darted, reappearing behind Saphir.
But Saphir was quick to react, sidestepping the ambush.
Simultaneously, his right hand clutched his flame wand, and with a silent command, he unleashed a formidable Fire Dragon Spell.
Transforming into a roaring dragon, flames bellowed forth from Saphir's grasp.
The dragon's deafening roar resonated across the battlefield, leaving no ear untouched.
A suffocating realization dawned upon 54: Saphir had grown significantly stronger than their encounter a decade prior.
Yet, 54 didn't retreat. Instead, he channeled even more of his power.
The Fire Dragon collided fiercely with 54's dark energy, sending shockwaves that rattled the entire room.
Dragon's claws and daggers crisscrossed in the air, waves of searing heat mingled with the chilling darkness, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
The intense combat raged on for what felt like an eternity, neither willing to relent.
A steadfast gleam sparkled in Saphir's eyes, fully aware that only by defeating 54 could he exact his revenge.
Seizing an opening, Saphir darted forth, closing the distance between him and 54 in an instant, and unleashed an exquisite fire blast spell.
Raging flames enveloped 54, who fiercely resisted, but ultimately succumbed to their ferocity, letting out a harrowing scream.
Yet, as Saphir gazed intently at the inferno before him, he was unconvinced that such a tactic could eliminate a master assassin of 54's caliber.
As expected, 54's silhouette swiftly vanished from the fiery embrace, reappearing directly behind Saphir.
With a dagger poised like a silent serpent, it aimed directly for Saphir's heart.
Anticipating the move, Saphir sidestepped, and clutching his wand, conjured a blazing arrow, which shot towards 54 with blistering speed.
54 nimbly evaded, and a cold dark energy erupted from his dagger, slicing through the flaming projectile.
Their figures danced and weaved through the air at such a pace that they were almost imperceptible.
Flames and dark energy clashed, erupting in a dazzling display of light.
With a malevolent grin, 54 sneered, his eyes a pool of chilling darkness, "Saphir, you're such a fool to dare challenge me!"
Saphir responded with a derisive chuckle, fearlessly brandishing his wand and unleashing a barrage of fiery assaults.
The battlefield transformed into an ocean of flames, entrapping 54.
Suddenly, 54 burst forth from the inferno, his dagger slashing towards Saphir's neck.
Saphir narrowly evaded, but the blade grazed him, leaving a trail of blood. Gritting his teeth, determination blazed in his eyes.
He knew that only by fully unleashing his magical prowess could he stand a chance against 54.
So, taking a deep breath, Saphir valiantly charged towards 54, flames blazing in his grasp.
He cast the Scorching Flame spell, with fire enveloping him, forming a defensive barrier.
Despite 54's agile and swift movements, he couldn't penetrate Saphir's fiery defense.
A fierce determination gleamed in Saphir's eyes, resolved to cleanse 54's sins with fire.
The flames roared, intensifying their duel.
The surrounding air was consumed by the heatwave of the fire, turning the vicinity into a crimson sea of flames.
Saphir's magical flames burned fiercely, with each attack radiating blistering power, setting the immediate space ablaze.
54 attempted to dodge, but the flames, relentless as demonic claws, lunged at him, ensnaring him once again in the roaring inferno.
Clenching his teeth and surrounded by the engulfing flames, he raised his dagger, dark energy surging wildly, trying to break through Saphir's fire magic!
