Magic's Return: I Can See The Spirits

Chapter 216  He can protect him, you do not have to hold back.

*KABOOMMM*

"KAELEN!!" Alaric shouted in horror.

It was not just him, the entire crowd had widened their eyes in horror, the explosion was simply too big for it to be just a 4th Circle Spell. Even Vaan was taken by surprise. Elara had taught him the same spell, his spell's strength, however, wasn't even near Elara's spell. He also didn't expect Elara to actually go this far. Worried, he glanced at his fiancée, who finally realized what she had done and stood there, frozen in shock and fear, unable to believe that she had actually killed someone. "…"

"…" "…" The three commentators were in shock as well. But then, "Oh ho? That was quite a strong spell, little girl. I can actually feel the little heat passing through my Aura. You might have burnt my hand if you had a bit more Mana." A voice was heard. The smoke from the explosion finally cleared up and everyone saw a handsome man standing in front of the horrified Kaelen with a curious look on his face, "How did you do that?" Orion questioned as he glanced at Elara. At the same time, he dusted his hands away, getting rid of the slight itch he felt after taking that spell head-on. "F-Father…" Vaan was taken aback.

The same was true for Elara. Orion, on the other hand, turned towards the judge who was looking at him with a stupefied look on his face and, "This little one would be eliminated since I protected him." Kaelen, of course, had absolutely no complaints about it. His life had just flashed over his eyes, ain't no way would ever care about some meager battle in this scenario. Rather, if he could, he would stick his head on the ground to pay respect to the man who had saved his life. No one in the entire Stadium other than Orion had felt the strength behind that spell as clearly as he did, even with Orion standing right in front of him taking on the Spell directly, the heat and steam he felt gushing through his face made him like he would be burnt away on the spot, It was like a natural calamity. All these decades he had spent training his body, strengthening his muscles using Aura, surpassing human limitations, all of that came to a silent halt the moment his eyes fell on that calamity in front of him. He finally realized why, even when their God had stopped blessing them, the Mages were considered to be the best force when it came to Firepower. It was a traumatizing experience, which became even more horrifying when he realized that was done by a girl half his age. "Y-Yes of course!" The judge nodded continuously. Orion had done something he was supposed to do, his reaction speed, however, was so slow that Elara almost killed her opponent, right in front of him. The judge didn't even want to imagine what his fate would have happened if Orion hadn't interfered. Being expelled from the Academy would have been the least of his worries. "What are you waiting for?" Suddenly, Orion glanced at Kaelen and, "Get out of the stage." He ordered. "A-As you command, Lord Orion!" Kaelen nodded, quickly rushing out of the stage. Orion then turned towards Alaric and, "Do you wish to continue?" He questioned. Alaric glanced at Elara, who clearly looked shaken. He could tell that this girl wasn't used to killing others, she was kind-hearted, so the fact that she nearly killed someone must have been a traumatic situation for her. There is no way she would be able to give her best in a situation like this. Thinking all that, Alaric wanted to agree, but then, "Elara!" Vaan called out. Elara quickly came out of her reverie when she heard his voice, Vaan, of course, didn't forget to keep a pained expression on his face to ignite the fire inside Elara. A manipulative bastardly move, yes, however, Vaan knew that this was required. Then, he pointed at his father and, "He is here! He can protect him, you do not have to hold back!" The moment he said those words, Elara's expression changed as she realized that Vaan was right. She glanced at Orion, the man nodded in confirmation and Elara finally glanced at Alaric, her faded determination returning in her eyes. 'You fucking bastard!' Alaric cursed in his head. He felt like he was locked on by a mass destruction method. However, he soon realized something else. This mass destruction weapon was out of battery. The Lake of Flames, Flame Bomb,

None of those spells were small spells, the fact that she was able to cast the two such spells at the same time was already quite an achievement, however now, Alaric was sure that Elara was out of Mana. Now, she needed to gather more Mana and circulate it throughout her Mana to cast more spells and this time, Vaan wasn't there to buy her that time. In these few seconds, he just needed to cross the Lake of Flames, reach Elara, and end the battle. On the other hand, confident in her Spells and the range she had set up, Elara started absorbing the surrounding Mana, Alaric on the other hand, had a grim look on his face. The Armor he was wearing was strong enough to protect him from the flames for a moment, however, in no way could he pass through a 30-meter-wide lake of flames just by relying on the Armor alone. Alaric decided to go all out. It was shameful to do that in front of a mage, however, in this scenario, where he knew Declan was looking at him, he had no other choice. Suddenly, Alaric closed his eyes and joined his hand, making Vaan frown in confusion, then, "Swift-footed deity, Hear my plea. In racing winds, And destiny's decree." He started chanting, invoking his God's Blessing. "Grant me haste, With grace untold, In every stride,

A tale unfolds." While others couldn't didn't have any sort of reaction since invoking their God's blessing was extremely common in the world of Agresia, Vaan had a strange reaction. As Alaric continued to chant, he could feel a strange whirlpool of energy forming over his head, "From lightning's arc to the rushing stream, Grant me speed, as in a dream. With every step, I honor thee, Oh God of Speed, Veloceus, set my spirits free." With every phrase, the energy whirlpool Vaan could see got stronger and stronger. "By thy fleetness, our paths align, In every race, our fates entwine. Bless me with swiftness, pure and bright, Oh God of Speed, guide my flight." contemporary romance

As the chant ended, Vaan noticed all that strange energy rushing into Alaric's body, with his blessing working, Alaric prepared to take a risk, rush towards Elara, and end the battle, But suddenly, "Krriiii!!!" "Guurru!!" "Skkkiii!!" Vaan's spirits made a move.
