Chapter 72 - The Rushing Pressure
Whoosh.
Fane quickly cast his spell and the green blob was already hurtling toward the ground. Soren quickly prepared for the fight, as for Evan, he was standing relaxed in his place. He had been waiting a long time for this fight, so he was going to give all his best.
In this short amount of time, he had already managed to get his impression about Soren. People like that think they are superior to others. Evan just loved to shatter all their illusions and show how wide and tough the world really was.
Drip.
The drip reached the ground and at the same moment, the duel between Evan and Soren began.
Soren's "Warp" instantly spun. He quickly cast a spell, and a multitude of blue lightning discharges went through his sword. Soren was about to attack his opponent, but Evan was faster.
Whoosh. Bam.
Before the lightning had completely covered the entire silver sword, Evan quickly stepped forward and punched Soren in the stomach with his fist as hard as he could. He didn't waste time casting any kind of spell- striking first was far more important.
Because of the Lion Sigil, Evan was incredibly physically strong. Even the high grade Magical Armor could not completely suppress such a crushing blow.
Whoosh.
The force of the blow sent Soren flying backwards a couple of meters, but he quickly regrouped and rolled back to his feet. He was in great pain, he was sure that if not for his armor Evan's fist would have made a hole in him. He had never met such physically strong opponents before. But no one gave him time to rest.
Whoosh.
As Soren came to, a white-hot ray, namely the "Magic Missile", which Evan had cast just after his punch, flew toward him.
He quickly put his shield in front of him and the snow-white beam reflected into the arena barrier. Soren was saved, at least he thought so.
Bam.
The next instant Evan appeared beside Soren and instantly attacked him. He aimed his fist at his opponent's head, but Soren had time to react and put his shield under the blow.
Bam.
Thanks to his shield, Soren was able to withstand this terrifying blow. The force of the blow pushed him back several meters, but he remained on his feet. His hands went numb and his legs trembled.
Soren did not understand what was happening. He had been overwhelmed and humiliated since the beginning of the fight. He had already missed several blows, while he himself had failed to attack even once. Evan just didn`t give him that opportunity.
Evan looked at his hand, especially his bleeding knuckles, and said coldly: "You have tough armor, but that won't save you."
Whoosh.
Evan lunged toward Soren and at the same moment, his "Warp" began to spin violently. Soren also decided to attack back, he couldn't defend himself anymore or he could soon lose. He couldn't let that happen!
Whoosh.
The bracelet on his right hand glowed brightly and he cast the zero level spell of the Creation Magic - "Ice Hail".
At the same moment, a huge blue magic circle appeared in the air above Evan. In the next second, hundreds of ice needles exploded out of it, destroying everything beneath them.
If Soren had cast this spell himself, without the Magic Artifact, the magic circle would have been many times smaller, as well as the number of ice needles. Sure, he had wasted a lot of mana, but that's what Magic Artifacts were great for. For the right price, they gave a tremendous power.
Soren didn't stop there. The amulet around his neck glowed a pleasant blue light and a large magical circle appeared in front of him.
Whoosh.
A moment later, a veritable river gushed out, rushing straight for Evan. When the water almost reached Evan, Soren raised his lightning sword and struck the flowing river with all his might. Instantly blue bolts of lightning struck the water.
In just a few seconds, Evan was trapped. Hundreds of icy needles were flying on him from top, while the river, charged with lightning, was rushing just towards him. It was difficult to dodge it, because the stream of water was too wide and too close.
Evan, however, was not about to give up. He had his own way of avoiding such a formidable and diverse attack.
Whoosh.
Without any hesitation, Evan quickly thrust his weapon deep into the ground and then jumped over the river. Of course, Soren's combination had its results. To avoid serious wounds, Evan had to use his weapon as a fulcrum and leave it deep in the ground. But, that wasn't a problem for him. historical
Evan was able to dodge the hail of ice needles and the river with lightning, and beating up Soren he could even with his bare hands.
Soren did not expect Evan to do something like this. He couldn't have imagined such a development. He didn't have time to be surprised as Evan had already attacked him.
Bam. Bam. Bam.
Evan threw several swift blows, aiming at different parts of Soren's body. His opponent, though barely, managed to block every one of his blows. Of course, without his shield Soren would have lost long ago.
His hands had long since gone numb, and every Evan`s blow made his body shiver. It was as if Evan wasn't striking with his bare hands, but with a huge hammer.
As strange as it sounded, as Soren took up a defensive position, not he, but Evan was losing. Evan's blows were very strong, but his arms weren't strong enough to withstand the recoil of the blows without consequence. Each blow to the shield wounded his fists and brought a dull pain.
So Evan decided there was no point in trying to penetrate such a powerful defense without a weapon anymore.
Whoosh.
His "Warp" spun furiously and a magic circle appeared next to Reverse Death stuck in the ground.
Whoosh.
Thorny Ivy quickly climbed out of the magic circle and immediately wrapped itself around the spear. In one swift motion, the ivy pulled the spear out and threw it in Evan's direction.
Whoosh.
The young man turned and caught the flying black spear with ease. At the same moment, Evan's pressure on Soren increased manifold. It had been difficult to him to block Evan's blows when he was unarmed, but now when Evan had a powerful weapon in his hands, things had gotten really bad for Soren.
Evan quickly attacked him, aiming at different points. There was no counting how many blows Soren had already had to block to avoid being seriously wounded.
Bam.
Another of Evan's punches was blocked, but instead of striking the next one, Evan quickly flipped the spear and hit Soren in the knee with the hilt. The blow was powerful and painful, causing Soren to lose his balance for a second.
At the same moment, Evan's left hand gathered mana, and the next moment a snow-white beam pierced Soren's shoulder.
