Chapter 254: Duel (2/2)
”What are you looking at? Between you two, there was never a winner decided. I am here to backup Vickers; do you think you can still win?”
”Oh, why did you become so sure of that? Oscar.” Arc suddenly raised his aura. The blue lightning crackled around him as the air around became suffocating.
”You.. Did you break through Middle-stage? When did you?” Oscar asked as his throat went dry.
At this moment, Vickers also released his aura and an aura of the same level erupted. But this one was bright light indicating the neutral spiritual energy.
”Vickers the Warrior mage, Neutral energy. Ready for the Duel 350.” Vickers said as he moved his waved his hand and the spiritual energy drew a line in the air.
”Arc the Warrior mage, Lightning elemental energy. Ready for the Duel 350.”
That's right, these two had more than three hundred duels till now and the fact that Vickers is a Warrior mage with neutral energy is also right.
Vickers raised his hand and made the first move. A beam of spiritual energy blasted through his palm as it went straight towards Arc's eyes.
But the later didn't budge, lightning appeared right in front of the beam completely blocking it.
Oscar opened his mouth wide open. He didn't know that his peers became this powerful while he was enjoying a life of vanity.
He is only an initial stage Transcendent. They entered the middle-stage. The difference might not be much, but in the later stages of cultivation, even a small gap is highly difficult to cross over.
That's why, if a person can battle people beyond his cultivation level in later stages, they would be revered and can be treated as extreme elites.
So, he was stunned and this is the first time, he watched Vickers using a beam. He only thought that Vickers is a warrior, but little did he know that he is a warrior mage and that too a warrior mage of a unique kind.
A warrior mage of Neutral energy. It is actually the first time he saw one, but that doesn't mean he never heard of it. He heard of it in the lectures of the thunder god temple.
That's right, the thunder god temple. The three of them are the students of the thunder god temple in the same generation.
As for Vickers' ability, there was a lecture about the basics of spiritual core and stuff and the teacher said that even though, it is not seen, theoretically, it is possible for a mage to exist of neutral energy.
He didn't expect that he would see one.
Meanwhile, the battle has already started. Vickers is on the aggressive side and suddenly, the spiritual energy condensed into a huge axe and he swung it straight on Arc.
Arc blocked the attack with his hand and both of them started a battle.
Oscar himself is having a hard time catching up.
Vickers is changing the weapon forms one by one an in-between he started using the beams. Arc however was on the passive side. He didn't even move from his place.
His feet didn't even budge, he only moved his hands and he managed to block every single attack, and all this time there is a smile on his face.
He didn't seem bothered at all.
”It is indeed as I suspected. I didn't expect you to become this strong. Were you always like this?”
Vickers asked as he stopped attacking.
”No. But I had some serious training over the past decade. Now, my turn.”
This time, the situations reversed. Vickers who is aggressive all this time started being passive.
He started creating shields left and right. All of them getting shattered as soon as they were hit by lightning.
The battle became too intense and Vickers started sweating too much.
He is having a hard time. He didn't expect that he would be in this state.
At this moment, a large lightning bolt suddenly struck at the back of Arc.
And both of them suddenly stopped. They turned to see Oscar standing there with his hand extended.
”You seem to have forgotten Arc, this is a war between two empires, not your personal duel.” He said in a sinister tone.
The three of them felt this scene extremely familiar. But only the circumstances are slightly different.
Arc did take some damage head-on, due to it being a sneak attack, but he didn't say anything.
While Vickers was in a daze, he smirked as he looked at Oscar and suddenly jumped at him and slammed him on the ground.
He held his neck pressing him to the ground and said.
”I should have killed you that day itself, but your fate is too good and I am too exhausted at that time, I would have loved to kill you this day too, but your head is coined by someone else.” He said these words, with his face close to Oscar's that Oscar cannot even see the sky.
Suddenly, he stood up and moved back. At that time, Oscar something falling from the sky and that left him no time to react.
