Conquering The Novel

As we approached the stadium, we were informed that Mika and Tania had yet to arrive. So, till then, Silvia decided to take me on a tour around the stadium.

I was amazed as I toured the stadium with Silvia. The stadium covers more than 50 acres of land and has three entryways.

More than 100,000 people can be accommodated at the stadium. Its structure eliminates the need for pillars and allows spectators to see the full field from wherever in the stadium.

To protect the fans, many formations and spells could be observed surrounding the stadium.

For this specific match, multiple fire-resistant spells were installed, as well as emergency water spells.

As Mika and Tania are both Fire elemental users.

In fact, Many characters in the novel had the element of fire, including Lucas.

Yes, Lucas's element is also fire, at least for the time being.

There are, however, several forms of fires, such as Dragon fire, Volcanic fire, Phoenix fire, Hellfire, Blue fire, Holy fire, and so on...

And as a result, their power differs.

Tania employs Phoenix Fire, while Lucas utilizes Holy Fire, which will aid him in effectively combating demon lords.

Although Lucas still lacks the strength necessary to fully harness his holy fire.

In the future, he will receive training from Tania in her martial arts so that he can fight demon lords as well as receive instructions on how to utilize his holy fire effectively.

***

As I was pondering to myself, we got the information that both Mika and Tania had arrived, and the battle will be beginning soon.

I'd like to meet up with Mika before the match, but Irethiel says it will only distract her.

So I resolved to see her after the battle and headed to the main stadium's audience section, where the battle would take place, accompanied by Silvia and Irethiel.

In the little time, we waited in the audience stands, we observed the opening of the two opposing entryways.

And we eventually saw Mika and Tania arrive at the stadium.

And as I scrutinized them both I saw,

Mika was dressed in a half-sleeve form-fitting white battle outfit with red stripes on the ends, her hair tied in a bun, and two katanas hung around her waist.

Mika was leaving up to her role as a Sword Empress, as she looked rather lovely in that outfit.

Then I focused my attention on Tania Elizabeth, whose description I had read many times in a story.

Tania was a stunning woman with a lovely face, her long silky sun-colored hair was left down to her waist, and she had glittering golden eyes.

She was dressed in a black battle suit with grey stripes, which couldn't hide her well-balanced curvy physique.

She had no weapons on her and was only wearing a thin black glove on her hands.

***

They were both in the center of the arena, facing each other, a few hundred meters apart. They were too far away for any of the current executives to see with their own eyes, so they focused on a massive holographic screen that broadcasted their combat.

But I decided to use my Hawkeye skill and watch their combat with my naked eyes so that I didn't miss a single bit of it.

The battle between two Transcended beings could be beneficial to me because I could learn something from them. It will also show me how insignificant I am in comparison to them.

A beep sound jolted me out of my reverie as it signaled the commencement of their battle.

BEEP -

Hearing the sound we focused our attention on Mika and Tania.

***

Mika quietly drew one of her katanas from its sheath, her simple movement emitting a tremendous solid-looking menacing aura that was directed at Tania.

Tania smiled and wrapped both her hands with her fire element, creating a dazzling golden aura pointed toward Mika, which resembled a flame.

As their auras met, a tremendous energy was formed, and they both tried their hardest to make the other push back, but it didn't appear to work because neither of them was intimidated by the auras of the other and were equally matched.

And an amusing sound of a clashing aura resounded across the stadium.

They both smirked at each other and continued their aura battle, before their auras wiped each other out with a booming sound.

BOOOOM -

They both charged at each other as soon as their auras were neutralized.

As they got close enough to land an attack, Mika swung her sword horizontally at Tania, while Tania jabbed her fist toward the sword.

As their attacks collided, a massive ground-shaking shockwave was created, and the entire stadium was shaken into dust, with fissures appearing on the ground.

The shock waves even reached us and jolted our feet, as if a natural earthquake had occurred.

I quickly regained my balance and inspected the battle, noticing Mika and Tania pushed back some distance, but only for a moment before they lunged at one other again.

As they collided repeatedly, the energy and shockwave caused the entire stadium's ground to collapse, leaving only deafening booms to be heard.

BOOOOM -

CLASH -

BOOOOM -

No one could keep up with their speed, thus only continuous booming sounds could be heard as they fought at breakneck speed.

On the screen, only debris and smoke can be seen, with just the sparks of collision visible through the smoke.

And unexpectedly, the clouds darkened and rain began to fall.

Drip Drip -

But their battles thundering sounds still continued and lasted for a long time before abruptly ceasing.

As I observed Mika and Tania with my skill, I noticed that they were both drenched in rain and covered in blood, with wounds and bruises all over their bodies.

But when Mika unsheathed her second katana, the atmosphere in the stadium immediately altered.

Tania's eyes, on the other hand, were spewing fire, a fire tattoo emerged on her forehead, and two massive fire wings of a Phoenix materialized on her back.

When I saw them, I knew they'd decided to go all-in with their strength right now.

I read about Tania's Phoenix wing form in the novel and knew how much havoc she could inflict in that form.

And I saw firsthand how lethal Mika's two-sword technique is.

"The shit is about to go down" I muttered unknowingly

Silvia who was standing next to me tensed up at my sudden proclamation and yelled for everyone to evacuate the stadium.

'Oh, I was so concentrated on the fight that I forgot she was there next to me.' I thought to myself.

'Wait! 'What happened to Irethiel?' I abruptly realized.

Then I reasoned that she would return regardless, so I let her be.

"...."

Everyone was skeptical after hearing Silvia's warning, but when they noticed the fluctuations in the surroundings, they decided to follow her advice and escape.

***

Mika crossed her swords on top of each other, both swords now covered in fire, and prepared to unleash her signature technique, which I had already seen her use once and knew how strong it was.

Tania, on the other hand, utilized her wings to fly through the air, raised one of her hands, and created a massive meteorite composed of fire, which was also one of her signature techniques.

And the rain seemed to have had no effect on their fires.

"...."

"The defensive spells can't retain so much force," I exclaimed, and decided to run for my life, but I noticed the executives had already been evacuated after listening to Silvia's warning.

And only Silvia and I remained in the audience.

Silvia was just watching me in a daze.

So I sprinted as far as I could, dragging Silvia like a potato bag.

And soon, cracks appeared in the defensive spell that had been cast on the stadium.

I used my skill to examine them because I was far enough away from the attack range, and I saw an enormous cross-shaped fire sword slash and a massive meteorite of fire collide.

BOOOOOOOM-

Everyone heard a huge sonic boom and saw the whole stadium engulfed in fire. And smoke covers the stage where both Mika and Tania was.

The defense spells were destroyed.

It was already pouring, and the emergency water spells were automatically performed to put out the consuming fire.

But as I concentrated clearly, I was astounded by what I saw...

!?

Mika was covered in blood and burn marks, her eyes whitened, and she was left unconscious on the ground, whilst Tania, who was also covered in blood but her eyes were still lifting fire, remained conscious.

Their clothes were ragged, frayed, and damaged, barely covering their bodies.

But, when I observed them, I muttered unconsciously.

Mika...lost?

***

The emergency team was hurrying toward Mika and Tania as if to treat them, and I recognized Aegis among them.

When I was still dazed, I saw Tania, her bleeding body drenched in rain, standing in front of unconscious Mika, her fist covered in fire.

When I noticed her, I snapped out of my daze and hurried toward Mika, encircling myself with electricity.

"Something doesn't feel right about this," I muttered to myself and rushed to them.

Even with my quick speed, it was too late because the distance between us was too vast.

Soon, Tania turned her attack on Mika's face, and time seemed to halt as I watched the incident unfold in front of me.

And I could hear Aegis's resounding cry throughout the stadium.
