Everyone in the audience was excited when they saw two spells moving toward the participants. Kajal cast a 'Lightning Barrier' spell; a barrier made up of lightning appeared around her and blocked the opponent's vision.
The opponent guessed that she would try to block the spell and started casting a defensive spell, 'Wind Shield, after which he didn't stop and cast a Barrier spell.
Both spells bypassed each other and approached their target. The cloud filled with lightning stopped above the challenger, and a 'boom' sound rang above it. Lightning strikes came out of the cloud and started targeting the opponent.
The first set of lightning strikes came out of the cloud and struck the shield made of wind. A small explosion took place, and a few cracks appeared on the 'Wind Shield'.
At the same time, on a different part of the battlefield, a giant vortex made of wind hit the lightning barrier and started to tear it to shreds. The lightning barrier started to shrink as the vortex absorbed the lightning in it and became bigger.
Kajal did something unexpected; she cast a 'Blink' spell and teleported near the opponent. The opponent was behind the 'barrier' spell; one more set of lightning strikes landed on it and destroyed the barrier.
He was just about to cast another 'barrier' spell when Kajal, who was waiting for the perfect opportunity, amused him with a 'lightning-shock' spell. A yellow bolt of lightning came out of nowhere and shocked the challenger.
This surprised the opponent. He tried to cast a spell but found that he was unable to lift even a finger. It was now that he understood that the 'Paralyze' status condition had hit him. Just as he was about to recover, Kajal cast a 'Lightning Ball' spell and stunned him again.
He looked at Kajal with a surprised expression before he heard a 'boom' sound and saw another set of lightning strikes coming at him. At last, he decided to use his trump card. The pendant on his neck shone in blue before a barrier appeared around him and saved him from the lightning strikes.
The cloud also disappeared after it had no mana left. The challenger looked at Kajal with a serious look from inside the transparent barrier before starting to chant.
"Element of air, aid at my quest, I call you forth.
Element of air, lend me your power."
The wind element of the area around the mage became active. The wind started blowing very fast before it concentrated on the area around the challenger. The wind element started around him and concentrated to form a semi-transparent hawk shape.
He said, "Let's end it in an attack before we start chanting a big spell."
When the opponent was casting his spells, Kajal had already cast the 'overcharge' spell before casting the 'fast-casting spell' to increase her casting speed.
After all, preparations were done, she started casting a powerful one-shot spell that could destroy everything.
The challenger finished his spell first; his eyes shone light blue as he opened his eyes. The shadow of the hawk behind him became lifelike before increasing in size. The name of this spell is 'Wind Elemental's Fury.' It boosted the strength of the summoned elemental.
"Wind Hawk Elemental attack her," said the challenger. The giant hawk flapped his wings before moving towards Kajal. It was just ten meters away from Kajal when Kajal opened her eyes. The lightning was dancing on it, and she made some complex, finer signs before pointing in the opponent's direction.
The lighting element that was floating around her concentrated and took the shape of a giant orb and started approaching the opponent. The orb also started spinning as it approached the opponent.
The wind elemental and the orb hit each other, and a giant explosion took place. The orb, which was now only the size of an apple, started approaching the opponent, while the half-transparent Hawk, which was now one-third of its size, started approaching Kajal.
The claw of the wind elemental struck the barrier made of lightning and caused cracks in it. The sparks that hit his claws had no effect on it.
It used its wings and broke the barrier with a second strike. Kajal cast one more 'barrier' spell before using 'lightning steps' to run while also using the 'Barrier' spell when needed to block the wind elemental's attack.
The Challenger saw the small orb coming at him, but he didn't take any risks and cast two more barrier spells around the light blue barrier formed by the magic item.
The small harmless orb spun in a fast motion and hit the first barrier. Due to its high speed, it pierced through it and hit the second barrier, which was the wind barrier. It spun and created the cracks on it before stopping and shining in a blue glow.
The challenger sighed and said, "It ended at last," The orb exploded with a 'boom' sound, and a giant explosion took place.
The challenger was not even able to blink his eyes before he was blasted away and fainted; the 'Safety Barrier' appeared around him and teleported him away.
Kajal was tired of the elemental chasing her, so she cast a 'Lightning Ball' spell on him. The spell landed on its face, and a small explosion blasted away its head. The elemental became even more enraged. It dove at Kajal with all its might and was about to hit her when it heard a giant explosion.
Kajal showed a mocking smile to the elementals disappearing away. She sighed in relief when she saw that the battle was finally over. The audience cheered when they saw that Kajal had won.
"This battle was filled with twists and turns, but at last, Kajal won. The last spell was really a very strange two-stage spell," said the commentator.
"It's called 'Destruction Orb,' and it's a three-stage spell. In the first stage, it hits with its giant size; in the second stage, it uses its speed to strike; and the final stage is the most deadly: an explosion. This spell is known as 'Barrier Breaker' due to how effective it is in destroying barriers."
"The idea of the challenger was also unique; he first summoned a wind elemental before using a spell to empower him. If Kajal had not been able to dodge its attack, he would have won because it is impossible to dodge the wind elemental, which will attack again and again," said Shreya before smiling and looking at the first ranker.
Rishi noticed her gaze and was scared that she would recognize him, but he appeared confident and rose from his throne before approaching the fighting ring. Kajal said, "best of luck" in a low voice as she bypassed him.
A smile came into Rishi's face as he entered the battle ring, but it disappeared soon when he looked at his opponent. An evil grin took its place. Many different plans started appearing in Rishi's head when he looked at his opponent.
