Earth's Greatest Magus

Clank clank!

Sharp sounds echoed in the air while sparks flew about as strikes, parries, and blocks were exchanged between two beautiful young women seen within the majestic Grand Hall.

The clash between the two of them started even at first, but soon enough the blonde-haired girl who fought with her bare arms was able to flip the scale in her favor. After nimbly slipping through her opponent's defense, she managed to close upon her opponent and land a palm strike.

Baaamm!!

In spite of the direct hit and her body being pushed a few steps back, Klea acted as if nothing happened and once again assumed her sword stance.

From this clash, it was apparent that Jinkan had a high battle power despite her princess-like appearance. One that Klea still couldn't match even with all the buffs applied to her, and this realization couldn't help but rattle her slightly.

As expected, Jinkan Nephilim was not merely a simple princess. What she had shown with her martial arts so far proved that the girl either had exceptional talent in combat or that she had undergone arduous training since she was a child.

"It's the latter," answered Jinkan with a faint smile, reading Klea's thoughts. "Hand to hand is a basic course that I had to master when I was ten… simply because we can't always expect to have our weapon in hand during a fight."

Reminded of how the Egyptian girl did when she was ten, lead to a snort response "Show off!"

Since it was clear that she couldn't defeat Jinkan with her limited skill in swordsmanship, Klea slid her sword back into its sheath before proceeding with her specialty instead.

Staring at the Nephilim, she declared, "Alright! Prepare yourself for the second round!"

Erratic streams of purple lightning manifested on Klea's right hand while her other hand was raised towards the sky. Moments later, dark clouds gathered above the arena, creating a bizarre sight where part of the Grand Hall was enveloped in darkness.

Her body began rising into the air and hovered there, as she cast the powerful spell she had prepared.

[Storm Haze]

Torrential rain poured down and furious gales descended upon the arena. The combination between and the environment created by the two calamitous phenomena greatly amplified lightning element spells.

Klea didn't hesitate and fired [Lightning Bolt] at her opponent. The bolt of lightning that was now more than twice as fast and strong as it flew swiftly through the air, hurtling towards the Nephilim Princess.

Zapppp!!!

The purple lightning struck from above like God's judgment. The arena was damaged, leaving rubble and pieces. However, despite its speed and destructive power, there was no visible wound on Jinkan's body. Apparently, she managed to move out of the way and thus escaped the spell.

Another bolt quickly followed, but was again avoided.

Seeing such an outcome, Klea tried sending out multiple lightning bolts at once. But once again, Jinkan was able to dodge all her attacks, perfectly at that. It was clear that they were not effective at all.

"Hahaha, just stop it. I have seen this spell before, Don't you have anything new?"

Ignoring those words, Klea threw another barrage of lightning bolts. This time, however, instead of dodging away, both of Jinkan's arms were suddenly covered in stones like clay. She then extended her hands and caught the incoming bolts, smashing them to the ground to neutralize them completely.

"Earth element?!"

It wasn't an exaggeration when Klea and many others were surprised to see Jinkan able to cast earth element spells.

The Nephilim Princess had used the earth element to subvert the destructive power the lightning had before redirecting it into the ground where it was completely absorbed without creating any damage at all.

"What else do you get?!" said Jinkan in a provocative manner.

Exasperated by her repeated failures, Klea roused the spirit energy within her body and added another element to her [Storm Haze] spell, turning the rainstorm into ice hailstorm as [Blizzard] took effect.

In just a matter of seconds, the water pouring down from the sky turned into sharp icicles and rained down on the girl in the arena. However, the Nephilim still remained calm in the face of the deadly rain.

"Not a well thought move, I should say."

In response to Klea's attack, Jinkan this time turned both of her arms into flames, and started to swing her arms as her palms created waves of flames, fully neutralizing the incoming ace attacks.

While she was doing this, however, she was surprised when she realized that Klea's figure was already behind her. The ice spell was merely a distraction.

"Very good!"

She could feel the monstrous activity of spirit energy as Klea manipulated the ice shards that were in the surroundings and turned them into a huge wave of surging water.

Even though her current situation looked precarious, Jinkan still kept her calm as she quickly turned her two arms into an element that would take care of Klea's attack. A sparking layer of blue swiftly covered both of her arms, as she stopped the incoming wave by turning them to ice form once again.

Just like that, Klea's attack was neutralized once more.

The crowd of spectators cheered so excitedly because they witnessed such a thrilling battle of the elements. They were certainly impressed by the abilities of the two.

Klea also could not help to feel impressed by her opponent.

From earth to fire and then ice, the Nephilim Princess so far had revealed that she was capable of wielding three different elements.

That was what was on Klea's mind as she stood still several meters away from Jinkan, her breath panting because of the exhaustion from casting high tier spells in succession.

Looking at Klea's facial expression and once again reading her thoughts, Jinkan flashed a faint smile at her.

"No, no… Not just three." While saying those words, the girl turned her arm into different elements. Wooden arms turned into metals, then the metal layer was peeled off and replaced by clusters of small whirlwinds, then they turned into water and lightning.

All eight basic elements known to man were displayed by the young lady, which instantly made Klea think about the Eastern Sage who was also able to do such a thing.

Probing Klea's thought once again, Jinkan smiled and said, "No, I created all these through divine light power." She gazed into Klea's eyes as her two arms were now covered in brilliant light. "With light, you can create anything!"

Klea decided to break the crystal that hung on her neck which was her storage for back-up spirit energy.

She cast a high-rank spell [Recharge] as she felt her drained spirit pool fill up again and she was ready for their third round.

"Okay. You shall be the first person to taste my new spells."
