Aspiration to the Heavens: Becoming the Supreme Mage Vol 2- Descent of Darkness

Episode 108: Restless Spirits

*Hikaru*

"The final match for today is Wahkan versus Sefa!" the announcer shouted. "Who will rise on top this time? Let's find out! Begin!"

"Let's do this!" Aban yelled as he stretched.

Arima smiled.

Ulissis stared at us and smiled. "Hope that my power works..."

"Right, you could end up like that Dan kid," Aban said.

"Uh, kid? He's older than us," Arima corrected.

"Oh yeah... Though is he really?"

I rushed at them. "Hey, don't forget that you'll in the middle of a match!"

"We haven't," Arima said, dashing in front of him. Her hand curled around my fist. Her arm blocked my follow-up kick.

Wanikiya stepped back and gathered icy energy around his hands. "Glacius Draco!" he screamed at the top of his lungs. A swirling mass of frigid air rose from his finger tips and took shape the closer it got to us.

"Hey, Wani," I shouted as the chilly air tickled the hairs on my back.

Wanikiya smiled.

Arima pushed me toward the coalescing mass of cold air.

"That's odd, why is his spell taking time?" Aban asked as he raised the ground in front of his teammates and him. "Not to mention, Zelde. She..."

The two gasped. She wasn't where she once was.

Ulissis grunted as he was pushed back. He had stopped Zelde's punches but they still managed to push him back.

"What use does using our magic have while you have him?" Zelde asked as she kicked Ulissis into the rock wall.

"Uli!" Arima yelled.

"Not so fast!" I yelled, sweeping the floor with my foot. She jumped and kicked like a wild horse, sending me falling.

Wanikiya clapped his hands, making his dragon solid ice.

Ulissis stood up and ran toward the ice dragon with his hands held out. The dragon dissipated before it could even touch him. The crowd burst into gasps.

"It appears we got another mage who can neutralize attacks," the announcer said, perplexed.

It was a good thing that there was a precedent, else people might've become suspicious of his abilities.

I summoned my wand and transformed it into its gauntlet form. The white tiles cracked as soon as my fist touched them.

Aban rushed at me but Wanikiya stepped in and blocked with his arms.

I was at a disadvantage in this all out brawl... Sure I had gotten stronger thanks to Yen's physical training, but I wasn't at the level of the others yet.

Arima stepped aside as Zelde tried to punch her all while keeping Ulissis at bay. The ghost mage's purple-greyish eyes were on me.

Stepping back, I raised a wall of metal in front of me. It seemed that Ulissis' anti-magic only extended out for a meter or so.

Arima called forth her spirits which passed through my metallic wall.

Tsk. If only I knew how to create metals such as batosu which could ward off spirits.

A grunt escaped my lips as the spirts hit my abdomen, knocking me into the ground.

Kun... he told me not to lose... Alto managed to defeat Aida but failed to knock H.E.H. from this event. So it falls to him to properly defeat them is what he told me.
