Magic System in a Parallel World-Novel

Chapter 164 Fighting the Red Moon Academy(2)

"Thunder Strike!"

"Tornado!"

"Chain Lightning!"

"Cyclone!"

John and Douglas exchanged magic spells left and right, causing the mana in the area to become more and more unstable.

When the mana in the air became too unstable, the audience began feeling a little nauseous, which is a common occurrence during such a phenomenon, and it was called mana sickness.

Though, the mana disturbance was being contained within the fighting area through magic, so it wasn't too bad.

And almost as though they were showcasing their magic spells, both participants started with Tier 1 magic spells before going up in tiers.

Eventually, they started bombarding each other with Tier 5 magic spells.

"Lightning Cannon!"

"Tornado!"

A concentrated beam of lightning shot out from John's wand, colliding with a tornado that threatened to shred everything in its path.

In the end, John's magic power was stronger, and his Lightning Cannon tore a hole right through Douglas' magic spell, before hitting him directly in the chest.

Boom!

Douglas was sent flying off the stage while feeling like he'd been struck by lightning.

"Winner, John Cloven!"

Even though John won the fight, it wasn't an easy victory, and he had exhausted more than half of his mana. Therefore, he decided to step down to let someone replace him while he recovered his mana.

"Great work, John." Valery said to him with a sweet smile on her face.

"You guys should be careful. They have grown a lot stronger since the last tournament." John warned them with a stern face.

Up next, Eve decided to send in Valery.

"Valery Warren." Valery greeted her opponent.

"Opal Tempest," said the beautiful young lady before her, who bore the name of Tempest, one of four Celestial Families.

'Opal Tempest… She has an S-Rank magic talent and an A-Rank water magic affinity…' Valery recalled her opponent's capabilities as she silently waited for the match to begin.

The match began a moment later, and the two ladies on the stage immediately began casting their spell.

Unlike the previous match, the current fighters decided to use their powerful spells from the get-go.

An azure-colored magic circle with four rings appeared before Valery while a dark blue magic circle also with four rings appeared in front of Opal Tempest.

After spending a moment chanting, they unleashed their magic spells.

"Ice Nova!"

"Hydro Pump!"

A wave of ice appeared before Valery and expanded rapidly towards her opponent, and Opal launched a powerful blast of water at Valery.

When the two magic spells collided, hundreds of tiny fragments of ice scattered everywhere as Opal's Hydro Pump smashed through Valery's thick ice.

When she noticed that her ice magic wasn't strong enough to withstand her opponent's magic, Valery immediately dodged out of the way before the blast of water could penetrate her ice.

"High Tides!" Opal Tempest quickly cast another spell, summoning a wall wave of water that threatened to wash Valery off the stage.

"Ice Barrier!" In response, Valery immediately created a thick wall of ice around her body.

BOOM!

Valery could feel the water smashing into her ice barrier, which caused it to crack.

However, her barrier managed to last.

Afterward, Valery continued to cast more defensive spells as Opal Tempest kept on spamming her water magic.

'Ice magic, huh? I can feel its coldness even from here…' Leo thought to himself as he stared at the beautiful ice created by Valery.

Their fight continued for many minutes until both of their mana started running low.

"Why don't we end this with our strongest magic spell?" Opal Tempest suddenly suggested.

Valery nodded, "Sure."

The two of them gained some distance from each other and began casting their most powerful spell.

Sometime later, once they were prepared, they unleashed their Tier 5 magic spell at the same time.

"Glacial Lance!"

"Sea Splitter!"

Valery created a massive lance out of ice and tossed it ahead while Opal formed a colossal sword from water and slashed it downward.

"How unfortunate." Eve shook her head before their magic spells even collided.

The very next moment, the colossal water sword smashed through the ice lance with ease and reached Valery.

"Ah!"

Valery released a painful cry as she was thrown off the stage from the impact.

"Valery! Are you okay?!" John quickly rushed to her side.

"Yes… I am fine… Sorry, I couldn't defeat her this year either…" Valery sighed.

Valery had fought against Opal before during a previous tournament, and just like today, she lost to her.

However, even though she was defeated, nobody in the audience found her to be weak. In fact, they were impressed and even cheered for her, as Valery had just gone up against someone from the Tempest Family.

The Tempest Family is just as influential and powerful as the Light Family and the Scarlet Family, and their speciality was water magic.

After defeating Valery, Opal walked off the stage and decided to recover her mana.

Eve turned to look at Kevin and Helia.

"Which of you wants to go next?" She asked them.

Kevin looked at Helia and spoke, "Since I have already gone and you're the only one who hasn't fought a single match yet, why don't you go?"

"Okay." Helia nodded.

However, before she entered the stage, she approached Leo and said to him in a low voice, "I will show you what real fire magic is like. Don't blink or you might miss it."

"Sure…?" Leo wasn't sure about her intentions, so he didn't really say anything.

"Helia Barnett." Helia introduced herself shortly after both fighters entered the stage.

"It's a pleasure to fight you again, Crimson Witch Helia, or should I call you the Fiery Princess? In case you don't remember, my name is Bram Tombend, and I am—"

"Save your breath." Helia suddenly interrupted.

Bram then spoke with a cold smile, "If you think you will be able to defeat me with a single strike like the last time, I will have to disappoint you."

"Whatever." Helia remained nonchalant.

The match began a moment later.
