Chapter 59- CIARA MERLIN VS RAFFAELO JUN 2

Raph remained on his spot awaiting a response from the young girl, his sword resting neatly on his shoulder.

Ciara is a lovely mage. Her strength and prowess in magic was a huge boost to their abilities during the war against the demons but her personality was difficult to deal with.

At the time, Raph was merely a man trying to keep himself safe. He had not realized the true extent of his abilities and he found out about them years too late.

He was in no position to talk back at a powerhouse like Ciara Merlin at the time and there was nothing he could do other than endure.

This life though was different and he intended on doing something about that attitude.

"You know…your bias towards men is extremely unjustified".

He spoke up after a few moments of silence between them.

Her gaze only intensified while she scowled.

"What…did you just say ?"

She asked with a raised tone, her mana had begun to surge in her body, causing the air around her to shudder.

Ciara's personality was mostly because of her mother, Kira Merlin and her father.

She was someone that had been pampered all her life but yet was taught what it meant to taste blood when she encountered failure and that personality was extremely unnecessary.

Though, he wasn't about to just go and change someone. After all, one of the hardest things in life is trying to change a person and quite frankly that wasn't his job.

'...but…her arrogance'. He thought to him self as he took a step forward, swinging his sword around.

Her arrogance had caused him so much pain in his past life and many others as well.

He just needed to show this young lady what power meant.

He needed her to know what it meant to lose.

"Do you think you will win this battle ?" Raph asked with a raised tone, curisoisity in his eyes.

Ciara chuckled loudly as her hands swung in the air while her hair began to turn white. "Who's going to stop me ?!" She cried out when a powerful wind shook the Arena to it's very foundation.

"this again ?". Raph muttered as the wind blew him back with great force.

He slammed into the wall of ice causing cracks to spread their way through it until it crumbled like dust to the ground.

"You will have to keep up ! RAFFAELO JUN !" It felt like a thousand and one voice echoed in her place.

'I'm sorry mother, but I can not let this man annoy me without paying for it'.

A boulder forced its way out of the ground as a stream of water formed from the fallen ice.

"7th tier high magic…."

The rock and the water collided and a spark of green lighting shot down from the sky igniting it with its might.

"lightning rock".

She shot it down towards Raph who seem preoccupied from getting out from the fallen debris.

The rock projected at the speed of light not giving him time to react and it struck him causing a loud stream of lightning to flow round the Arena and a loud explosion followed right after.

"If it is my best you want. Then it is my best you shall get". She muttered under her breath, twirling her wand like a conductor of a renown orchestra.

A rock appeared beside her followed by a ball of fire at her other side.

She stepped on the ground causing it to crumble as a gust of wind compressed into a ball in front of her.

"you know why they call me a genius ?!" She asked out loud not referring to anyone in particular as she took a step forward with a wide grin on her face.

Ciara Merlin unlike any other of her family is actually a genius that appears once in a hundred years simply because of her rare affinity to all elements.

That's right, her prowess in magic and vast mana pool is also a call for notice but what makes her stand out from most Mages is her strong affinity towards all elemental magic.

'it's no wonder she got arrogant at one point in life'. Raph thought ignoring her question as he dusted off the ice that coated his body.

"funny you should say that. I happen to be somewhat of a genius myself". Raph replied with an amused tone when he quickly flipped forward dodging a stream of lightning.

He sighed, jumping some few feet away dodging a boulder and quickly rushed further away as a ball of wind struck the ground causing a gust of air to blow up.

Raph quickly turned around, ready to charge at her when his pupils dilated noticing the pristine figure that appeared beside him.

"Oh…" He muttered deeply as a blow of wind struck him across his face and blew him away.

"Urgh !" Ciara grunted as she hovered into the air, following after him.

Raph grunted as his body flung in the air and slammed into the ground with force. A small tremor spread through his body and a bit of blood spilled out of his mouth but he quickly stabbed his sword into the ground, reducing his momentum and raising dust in the air.

Looking up, Ciara met his gaze with another twirl of her wand.

The wind gushed in response, rushing towards Raph in a synchronized manner.

He back flipped dodging what seemed like a bullet made out of air that struck the ground with great force causing a small but deep crater.

He quickly dodged another one and then another, maneuvering his body as fast as he could and as flexible as it would let him until two more had somehow gotten too close for him to get away.

He simply thrusted his sword forward in an attempt to slice off the attack.

It struck the first air bullet and a loud sonic explosion occurred. The force pushed him to a standstill with the strength of the wind as he struggled to at least project it away.

He succeeded but the last one had maneuvered itself in his blindspot, striking his lower left abdomen.

A nearly blinding pain filled his body as the bullet struggled to penetrate through his skin.

The force pulled his body with the wind, like it was a piece of paper and suddenly exploded, further increasing the pain.

"No ! Not yet ! Don't lose just yet !". Ciara cackled out loud as she twirled her wand again.

This time, the ground shook as a large piece of rock protruded out, a stream of fire and water formed in the air as well, wrapping the rock as it began to form into a humanoid shape.

"7th tier high magic : Rocky Golem".

The large humanoid took shape of an ogre and a large executioner sword made out of rock protruded out of it's right hand.

"I thought you wanted me dead ?" Raph chuckled, hiding the hint of pain behind his smile as he charged at her yet again.

The golem moved in an instant, swinging his blade up as it brought it down with a mighty force just before Raph could get to her.

The force of its strike slammed down on Raph's sword causing an implosion of air as the ground vibrated and opened up into a crater.

Raph grunted as he retreated his sword and swung back down in another direction while the golem did the same.

The strength and speed of each strike increased with each movement as they continued with the assault within seconds making multiple movements that would be impossible for the normal human eyes to see.

Raph suddenly side-stepped, dodging an incoming attack and swung his sword in multiple directions in an instant.

The golems sword shattered into pieces of stone, causing it to tilt forward loosing its balance as a result. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

"Chapter 1- Endless Surge".

He swung his blade down in a swift motion and appeared behind the rock golem while streams of invisible sword slices ran through the body of the golem, cutting it into stone debris.

Ciara clicked her tongue as she floated backwards dodging the incoming attacks from Raph.

She spun her wand and two balls of water began to form beside her, elongating towards her wand as they shot out towards Raph taking the form of a small dragon.

He maneuvered his body out of the way to dodge the first one but it simply turned around, towards his direction.

'Marking spell….she caught up soon enough'

He thought to himself, turning around as he swung his sword down in a swift motion, slicing off the water dragon behind him and quickly jumped out of the way, dodging the other from landing on him.

It maneuvered itself, ready to pounce on him but was quickly turned into ice, bursting into tiny pieces. He charged at her, a smile slowly finding it's way to his face.

Lighting sparks grew from the side of Ciara's right shoulder instantaneously as the two balls were shot out from her wand.

Slowly crawling its way through her body to her wand and shot out, taking the shape of a bird as it projected towards Raph.

"7th tier magic ! Lightning Sparrow".

The battle had commenced and escalated quickly into an interestingly anticipated match but yet. Which victor will arise ?.
