Chapter 316 - Third Stage of the Competition (21) (1/2)
Lile was talking to Zephyr when all of a sudden a whale emerged from the waters. The whale had brought her upper body out of the water majestically and it splashed a large amount of water that caused ripples over a large surface area. It was a huge hundred feet long mammal. Right on its head, Adrianna was standing. The whaled steered in their direction in such a way that Lile became nervous. It flipped its fins and then entered the water with a great force and high velocity. Adrianna went down in water with her. Lile panicked. ”Zephyr, Adrianna is riding a whale! What do we do?”
”Swim fast to the shore! The whale won't be able to go to the shores. It needs deep waters to stay,” he replied almost panicking himself.
They had just thought that they had defeated her and killed her, when she came back again. Zephyr was agitated beyond words.

In the audience, when some ministry people were about to leave with a snicker on their faces, Isidorus was feeling very sad. He also started to get up and leave and was about to exit the special arena where they were all seated, when he heard the crowd cheering. He looked back at them and then his gaze fell in the segment. A smile could be seen on Isidorus face and before anyone could even speak a word for him to return, he rushed back to his chair and sat there as his eyes fixed on his favorite person. That girl had tenacity and the will to fight back and give it back to them. The ministry people who had started going became frustrated. They came back slowly one by one.
Dmitri, who had sank in the chair with a heavy heart, jumped out of it and shouted, ”Adri! I love you!”
Everyone else in the crowd started shouting with him. ”Adri! I love you!”
He growled and snarled at them but nothing was heard. They all cheered Adrianna so much that eventually he started laughing. Both Ed and Cora started laughing too. Ed wiped his tears. That was the only grandchild left as his descendent. And what a child?

Lile started swimming towards the shore with greater speed. Even though she was a dragon now, her speed was no match to the mammal that was closing in on her. She cursed herself for talking away to Zephyr for so long and swim in victory instead of going to the shore earlier.
Once again the whale emerged from the water and this time Adrianna was sitting on her head. Her wand had already cast the spell, which struck Lile with a huge bolt. Adrianna knew that if she broke the rules, she would be disqualified. So the electricity that she sent towards Lile's way was just enough to reduce her speed.
”Ahhhhhh!” Lile shouted as the electricity hit her fins. There was current all around her body.
The current was enough for her force Zephyr back to his body. Adrianna had detected that Zephyr was there in her cell.
When the current hit Lile's body, Zephyr was the one who got the maximum shock. He shouted so loudly in her cell that it deafened her ears. Both of them were in a lot of pain. The speed reduced.
