Chapter 77 - The One Who Cannot Be Defeated (1/2)

To everyone's surprise, this time Roland was armed with a huge axe with a gray blade and an azure handle.

He leisurely walked up to Fien and waited silently for the fight to begin. Fien looked at the relaxed Roland, frowned, and said: ”You`ve decided you couldn`t do without a weapon this time?”

Roland nodded and calmly replied, ”You're stronger than my previous opponent, but I don't want to drag out the fight so I`ve brought it.”

As always, Roland's words were very arrogant, although he was simply answering a question. He didn't mean to belittle Fien, but he really didn't want to drag out this fight.

Fien became angry at his words, and said nothing more.

After the two participants had said a few words to each other, Fane began casting a spell. Fien quickly prepared herself for the fight, while Roland was still indifferent.

Roldan pissed Fien off. She didn't like the fact that he acted as if she had no chance of winning. Fien was well aware of her worth and was not going to let other people look at her as if she was nothing.

Drip.

The green drip dropped and their duel began. Fien instantly pounced on Roland. She was going to give him a few pointed blows with her rapier, but she underestimated her opponent.

As soon as the drop crashed to the ground and their duel began, Roland changed dramatically. His eyes became cold and his gaze serious.

Whoosh.

Before Fien could even do anything, Roland quickly rushed toward her and grabbed her by the wrist with lightning speed. The girl had not expected Roland to act so quickly and sharply.

The young man wasn't going to attack Fien right away, he gripped her hand tightly and threw her upward with force. He greatly outnumbered Fien in physical strength, so he had no trouble pulling off such an attack.

As a result, a couple of seconds after the fight had begun, one of the contestants was already in the air. Fien was not injured by this throw, but she was very vulnerable while in flight. She had no way to defend herself, and Roland knew that.

Whoosh.

The next moment his ”Warp” spun, and a large magical circle appeared on the ground beneath Fien. In an instant, iron rods emerged from it and rushed toward the girl. Fien wasn't confused and instantly cast ”Wind Cutter”. Two dense wind blades slammed into the iron bars and cut them into small pieces, but Roland was ready for such a development.

He knew that Fien would destroy the iron bars he had summoned, so he cast two more of the same immediately after the first spell.

Fien couldn't destroy them all at once, so she was soon grabbed by the iron bars right in the air. She couldn't even use her rapier, because Roland made sure that the bars were wrapped around her right arm as tightly as possible.

Whoosh.

The next moment Roland appeared next to the bars, and electric shocks began to accumulate on his axe. Gradually they grew larger and larger, until they became a huge bolt of lightning.

Roland brought this weapon for a reason. The axe in his hands was a ”Catalyst,” which greatly strengthened the spells. When a mage casts a spell with this axe, he spends five times more mana.

After this attack, Roland will have less than a third of his mana left, but he didn't think he needed it.

Crack.

When the lightning reached its maximum, Roland did not hesitate to bring the axe down on the iron bars.
