When Deora realized that Kiel had increased the distance between the to run the way they came from, he finally lost his patience He had no desire to play catch Especially because he was going all out and couldn’t sustain his enor away and fight me like a nored hiht with Deora Kiel ht now, but even if he were brain dead, he’d know that entering a ht with Deora was tantamount to suicide

Deora stoe wave ofKiel down like a tsunami At a blink of an eye, Kiel ed by Deora’s mana, like a rock surrounded by a rapid river stream

Kiel wasted no ti Deora’shis mana in his vicinity for if Deora chose to create fireballs right next to hie

However, apparently, Deora didn’t expect for his mana to s Kiel’s up entirely His intention wasn’t to create fireballs in Kiel’s vicinity but rather, to restrict Kiel’s movement

He used the wave of e dome which surrounded Kiel from all sides

Kiel’s eyes widened, and he Accelerated with asto break out of the dome However, his Acceleration speed couldn’t be co speed

A moment later, the dome of spell roots let out a pulse of power and the entire world turned orange

The do Kiel within a sea of fla the entire world orange, Kiel’s face paled, and his pupils shrunk

Fear and dread that he had been keeping in check suddenly burst out, turning into uncontrollable panic His heart threatened to leap out of his chest, beating so hard that it ed His mind blanked, overcos refusing to le step towards the fla, jolting Kiel out of his stupor With tre hie dome of earth

As soon as the shi+eld of earth blocked Kiel’s line of sight of the fire, his sluggish ain He reached his hand into his pocket, clutching Elaru’s egg artifact

He didn’t want to use it this early in the exam unless he had no other choice Yet, he needed to be ready just in case his efforts failed short

Kiel gritted his teeth and forced hi to break out

Meanwhile, Deora didn’t stay idle He directed a barrage of fireballs to assault Kiel’s earth shi+eld,it and fixing it with more earth

As Deora realized that his fireballs didn’t have the desired effect, his ed his tactic He didn’t stop his assault but rather, he added a special fireball into the mix, or perhaps, it was more accurate to say that it was an airball

If Kiel’s vision weren’t being blocked by his earth shi+eld, he would notice that there was so on For this special fireball had a very similar spell cast on it as the other fireballs, yet, to the naked eye it was completely invisible, and it didn’t let out any flanized this airball, they quickly covered their ears It was Deora’s specialty en in the air to create an airball with a high concentration of hydrogen

Unfortunately, since Kiel couldn’t see this strange airball, by the time he realized that it wasn’t quite the sae it

The moment the airball slammed into Kiel’s shi+eld, Deora set it on fire

What folloas a scene fronited, and fla it look as if a floas bloo like a miniature sun, it expanded and expanded until it sed everything

The explosion left a large crater around the epicenter, the blast shaking the whole stadiurated, and a large mushroom of dust and vapor rose into the air

As he slahed out a mouthful of blood and his consciousness blanked out

With every passing second his breaths becaed, more painful

The flames didn’t wait for him They etched closer and closer Grew taller and taller
