Modern World Warlock-Chapter 167: Elementalist Vs. Dark Rogue
After Zac received the fireball spell from Curtis, the man realized that he would need something more powerful to win and pointed his palm back at the redhead.
’Oh, another spell!’ Zac thought with admiration, waiting for the man to cast it.
"Fireblast!" Curtis shouted, releasing a powerful, fiery blast that covered half of the room where Zac was standing.
Curtis smirked, thinking that he definitely had him that time. Nonetheless, Zac stood firm and protected himself from the blast by crossing both of his arms in front of him.
His arms and clothing were slightly black from the burns, but the redhead didn’t seem to lose any mobility from it.
’God, that was so cool!’ Zac thought.
*Tch!* "Are you looking down on me?" Curtis angrily said, clicking his tongue with annoyance.
"Huh?" Zac hummed.
Using almost all of his mana reserve, Curtis raised both hands in front of him and produced four different arcane circles behind him.
"Fire Barrage!" Curtis shouted, releasing numerous fireballs from the magic circles that were aimed straight at Zac.
As the projectiles kept shooting at his target, Curtis winced in fear when he saw Zac rushing out of the smoke, avoiding most of the fireballs coming his way.
’I need to cast fire dome!’ Curtis thought, but it was too late for him to cast another spell, as Zac had already caught up with his position and landed a punch in Curtis’ gut.
The blond man was pushed back and fell on the ground, coughing and regaining his breath after he got the wind knocked out of him.
"Aw, shit. I’m sorry!" Zac exclaimed, running up to his opponent and extending his hand to help him get up.
’Who the hell is this guy…?’ Curtis thought, looking up at the redhead and accepting the help.
"Man, your spells are so cool—I wasn’t moving at first because I was in awe!" Zac said with a smile.
"What?" Curtis asked, utterly confused.
"I’m talking about your fire spells, man—I wish I could make something as awesome as that!" Zac continued with his praise.
’So… He wasn’t looking down on me?’ Curtis thought. *Pfft* "Ahahaha! You are funny," he said, breaking into laughter and hugging the redhead over the shoulder with one arm in a friendly embrace.
Lindsey was still in shock after the events as the two men kept talking and laughing about their encounter.
Even though Lindsey was an elementalist, she knew that her brother’s fire spells were much more powerful than the ones she could cast, so she felt a bit insecure about her skills.
After the men left the room and began getting first aid from the servants at the mansion, Megan and Lindsey stepped into the training room.
The two girls had known each other since they were children, and while they weren’t friends, they also weren’t enemies.
They had been through similar training. However, while Megan focused on close combat, Lindsey was being taught mana control.
"A-are you not using any weapons either?" Lindsey asked.
"No. It’s too dangerous," Megan replied, her tone and expression cold as always.
When Imera signaled for the fight to begin, the two girls glared at each other for a few seconds, waiting for one of them to take the initiative.
Lindsey opened her palms, producing currents of air to revolve around them before waving her arm and releasing air blasts toward Megan.
The brunette avoided the first few blasts by quickly sidestepping, but Lindsey followed it up with a fireball, making Megan jump acrobatically to evade it.
Megan noticed how Lindsey didn’t need to chant the name of the spells to cast her magic, which she thought was a bit troublesome as she couldn’t read her moves.
As the brunette rushed forward, Lindsey raised one arm and produced an earth wall right in front of her, covering her from the dark rogue’s advancement.
Right as the wall rose up, Megan jumped and kicked it with force, destroying a small piece of it that crumbled. Still, the wall was strong enough to halt her for a second.
Suddenly, Lindsey made a splashing motion with her fingers, making the entire earth wall shatter and shooting the debris at her opponent.
A few of the rocks managed to hit Megan, but she still bolted forward and caught up with Lindsey.
In that brief second that felt much longer to both girls, Lindsey quickly tried to raise an earth pillar beneath Megan’s position, who was mere centimeters away from her.
However, just as the ground shook slightly, Megan did a quick handstand and kicked Lindsey in the face, avoiding the earth pillar.
The blonde leader was pushed to the side by the kick’s force, making her fall on her rear and rub her cheek.
"Are you okay?" Megan asked her opponent, stretching her hand to help her stand up.
Lindsey looked up at Megan for a moment, reminiscing of the time when they were both children and how the brunette always had the same cold expression on her.
In reality, Lindsey was always a bit scared of Megan due to her cold demeanor, so she never tried to get close to her.
However, seeing that she still had a caring and kind side made her regret those decisions as a kid.
"I’m sorry…" Lindsey muttered.
"Hmm?" Megan said with a raised eyebrow.
The blonde leader took Megan’s hand with confidence and quickly stood up, placing her face closer to the brunette quite abruptly.
"Megan, can we be friends from now on!?" Lindsey loudly asked.
’What’s up with her…?’ Megan pondered.
"Yeah, I don’t see why not. You are already friends with Sophia…" She replied, slightly confused at the woman’s proposal.
Lindsey smiled brightly and held Megan by the arm, guiding her out of the room so they could get first aid from the servants.
"You must have put those kids through hell…" Imera said to Dante with a smirk.
"Heh, they had been through hell already. All they needed was a tool to fight it," Dante replied.
"To think the girl suppressed the umbra on her attack so that her kick wouldn’t break any of Lindsey’s bones… That’s pretty thoughtful of her," Imera commented.
Dante chuckled a little, knowing that it didn’t matter how cold Megan was—she had one of the biggest hearts he had seen.
