Chapter 230: Tinada vs Lumia



Chapter 230: Tinada vs Lumia

As the cheers of the Yadour fans reached a crescendo, the emperor's expression remained stoic. His chiseled face was etched with a look of deep concentration as he watched the battle unfold. His eyes were like deep pools of obsidian, unwavering and intense, as he observed every move of the wind mage.

Despite the excitement around him, the emperor remained calm and collected, his muscular frame barely betraying any sign of emotion. He knew that victory was within reach, but he also understood the dangers of underestimating one's opponent. The water mage was not to be taken lightly, and the emperor knew that the battle was far from over.

Still, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he watched the demon wind mage skillfully dodge and counter the water mage's attacks. He knew that his empire had trained some of the most powerful mages in the world, and the wind mage was a testament to that.

As the battle continued, the emperor's expression remained unchanged, his piercing gaze locked onto the arena. He knew that the fate of his empire rested on the outcome of this battle, and he would do everything in his power to ensure that his people emerged victorious.

Finally, after a grueling fight, Azura emerged as the victor, the wind mage's mastery over the elements proved too much for the water mage. The crowd erupted in cheers as Azura was declared the winner of the battle.

As she emerged victorious, the Yadour emperor stood up from his throne, his muscular frame towering over everyone else in the room. His face split into a wide grin as he raised his arms in the air, bellowing out a triumphant cheer.

"Victory is ours!" he exclaimed, his voice booming throughout the arena. "Well done, Azura! Your power is truly a force to be reckoned with!"

The emperor's expression was one of pure joy and satisfaction, his eyes shining with pride as he watched Azura bow before him. He clapped his hands together, the sound echoing throughout the room.

The Yadour fans in the audience erupted into cheers, their voices blending together into a deafening roar of celebration. Flags and banners bearing the Yadour emblem were waved in the air, while people hugged and high-fived each other, ecstatic over their team's win.

As the noise died down, the emperor stepped forward, a serious expression settling over his features. "But let us not forget our opponents," he said, his voice commanding everyone's attention. "Zasal Dysnaty, you fought well. Your skills are not to be underestimated. This is what the tournament is all about - the chance to test our abilities against worthy adversaries, for the sake of our future. Let us all remember that, as we move forward in this competition."

As he said that, he turned toward me, and bowed his head before continuing; "Isn't that right, my lord?"

I simply smiled and refrained from answering. Zasal's emperess, on the other hand, maintained her charming smile and gave me a graceful bow before doing the same to the Yadour emperor.

With that, I gestured for the next set of contestants to step forward, ready to continue the tournament. But the memory of Azura's victory lingered in the air, filling the room with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what was to come.

*****

First came the elf earth mage from the Lumia empire. She was tall and slender, with long pointed ears and emerald green eyes that sparkled in the sunlight. Her hair was a vibrant shade of red, and it flowed down her back in loose curls. She wore a simple green tunic that hugged her curves and brown leather boots that reached her knees. What had caught everyone's attention as she appeared on the stage, was the fact that she was wielding a bow. While unusual considering this was a battle of mages, I suppose I never specified if they could use different weapons so, it didn't matter.

Following her was the earth mage from the Tinada kingdom. He was a burly man with a bald head, thick beard, and a stern expression. He wore a sleeveless leather vest that showed off his muscular arms and black trousers tucked into knee-high boots. In his hand, he held a large hammer with a blunt end and a sharp edge, earth elements glowed around him.

'Another one with a weapon, that's new,' I muttered inwardly.

As they stepped onto the platform, the earth beneath their feet trembled in anticipation. The crowd fell silent as they prepared for what was sure to be a fierce battle.

As the two mages faced off against each other, the elf mage was the first to make her move, she quickly pulled out an arrow from her quiver and notched it onto her bowstring, while the Tinada mage tightened his grip on his hammer.

The battle began, with the elf mage swiftly firing arrow after arrow at her opponent, each one hitting with incredible accuracy. The Tinada mage was quick to respond, using his large hammer to break the arrows in half. It was almost as if I was watching a battle between knights, instead of mages.

The elf mage's movements were fluid and graceful, firing arrows in rapid succession. The Tinada mage, on the other hand, was struggling to keep up, his movements slow and cumbersome compared to the elf's agility. His hammer was undoubtedly hard to wield.

It was then that the elf mage drew an arrow from her quiver and infused it with earth magic. I was momentarily surprised, as the elements gathered around the arrow, turning it into something else. As she released it, it quickly transformed into a rock projectile mid-air and flew toward her opponent.

The Tinada mage quickly responded this time by summoning a wall of earth to protect himself, instead of using his hammer. The rock projectile crashed into the wall, shattering it into pieces.

The elf mage was impressed by her opponent's quick reaction and decided to step up her game. She channeled the earth elements into her now with such ease that was remarkable, causing her arrows to start glowing with a faint yellow light.

She pulled the bowstring back and released the arrow, which split into multiple smaller ones mid-flight. The arrows rained down on her opponent, forcing him to evade and take cover as he raised an earth dome to protect him.

'Hmmm, she can already command the elements to such an extent. Impressive...'
