Chapter 546

The fight between Ember and Callum starts off very standard.

Both of them taunt each other at the start, activating their fire and water magic and circling the ring a few times.

Both opponents have seen the other fight in this tournament multiple times already and know the strength levels are higher than any other competitors they've faced so far.

Callum takes out a massive spiked mace imbued with water magic, coating his whole body in a thick mana-imbued layer of blue fast flowing shielding.

Ember stands with his fists flickering with dark flames, and behind his eyes, I see him strategizing how he'll make this a believable show for the people watching.

I send him a wave of telepathy, then cross my arms and get ready for the greatest fight of the day to begin.

"I need you to win this one, but don't make it seem easy. Everyone needs to know he's the best of the best, let the man shine and show off. If he's anything like Trax, he's going to have a ranked up buff reaching levels similar to a double ranked up hunter. It's time for you to use that fake ranked up buff of yours too, show this crowd Emrie Carter's infinite inferno."

A grin grows across Ember's face and a burst of dark flames cover his whole body as a reply to my words.

At the same time, Callum runs forward and swings his mace to create a wave of dense water magic launched at Ember.

Behind it, the water wielder summons dozens of jets of dense water magic to curve around the central attack to make sure he can't dodge in any direction.

The closer the water gets, the hotter Ember's flames begin to grow.

His whole body burns bright, and I feel his mana control and fire output rise near the levels of a double ranked up hunter.

The heat in the ring rises dramatically and as the wall of water collides with Ember, it begins to evaporate into the air.

He jumps upward and punches through every water jet sent his way while moving closer and closer to Callum with every fire-step.

Instead of being surprised or thrown off by this display, Callum jumps upward to meet Ember in the air and activates his ranked up buff as well.

The density of water magic around his body grows to over 3 times what it was moments ago and it compacts into a secure liquid layer of armor around every centimeter of his body including the spiked mace he holds in his grasp.

Loud hums of intense mana vibrate throughout the dome, drowning out the audience's gasps and looks of awe as the most intense powers of today's fights are being displayed before them.

Ember's fist collides with the water-infused mace, and the twang of mana ripples through the air, followed by the eruption of hot steam filling the blue dome.

A series of cracks and vibrations resound from the dome at multiple beats per second as flashes of blue and red light zip around the ring.

Ember's fists collide with the reinforced mace, and the two of them let out auras that increase in intensity as the battle goes on.

While all logic pushes toward the immense amounts of water putting out the raging flames in the ring, the temperature only rises.

Ember incrementally increases his mana control to match the water user's intensity, and everyone's eyes are glued to the epic battle that rages on.

At a certain point, reaching the mana control of level 1100 hunters, surpassing the power I even saw Trax reach earlier today, Callum hits a plateau.

Ember pushes his mana control just 10% higher, and stops there, slowly breaking the water user down, slipping in hits every few exchanges.
