Chapter 313: Proving Himself Grandly (1/2)
Immediately, everyone stood up excitedly. Not only would they be able to witness Olivus dueling, but they would also see the Lightning Empress duel against the so-called 'Lightning Emperor'.
The class walked down the stairs and headed to the open area outside the Lightning Department building.
”Who wants to go first?” Galak asked after they arrived.
”I want to go first,” Olivus responded.
”Stand here and Lawrend, stand 10 meters in front of him,” Galak said and pointed to the spot in front of him.
The other students made way for Lawrend and Olivus, and they stood far as to not get hit by stray magic.
”Ready?” Galak asked once they were in position.
The Lightning Sovereign staff appeared in Lawrend's hand, and a staff also appeared in Olivus'. The two of them took their fighting stances.
Lawrend stood calmly while Olivus firmly planted himself to the ground with his staff pointed to Lawrend.
Galak looked at the two of them before saying, ”Fight!”
”Shackle Bolt!” Olivus shouted.
A long chain of lightning appeared out of nowhere and headed towards Lawrend.
”Shock Arc!” Lawrend shouted, and an arc of bright golden lightning shot from his staff.
BOOM!
The air in-between the two of them exploded, and they jumped back several meters away from their previous position.
”His lightning is really gold… Interesting,” Galak muttered to himself.
Yesterday, they noticed that Lawrend's lightning was gold, but they didn't think much of it as lightning could even be red sometimes. Galak was now sure that Lawrend's talent was related to that golden lightning of his.
Olivus expected Lawrend to counterattack, so he immediately raised his staff again.
”High Potential Thunder!”
*BOOM*!
A thunderbolt fell from the sky in an exaggerated zigzag pattern, and it headed towards Lawrend at the speed of light.
Of course, Lawrend noticed Olivus raising his staff, so he was prepared.
”Shock Arc!”
*DA BOOOM*!
The ground around them shook as dirt flew everywhere. The two bolts of lightning negated each other.
”What!?” Olivus exclaimed in disbelief.
Lawrend used the same spell, and it managed to negate his magic. He can't believe it. From what he saw earlier, they both used Beginner Mage Lightning Spell.
He just used a True Mage Lightning Spell, and a lower-level spell shouldn't have negated it.
”Come again,” Lawrend said.
Olivus frowned, and anger formed on his face when he saw Lawrend's taunt. He was a High Mage, and he is believed to be the most promising student in the Lightning Department currently. He felt his pride shatter from those words.
