Chapter 495 Princess Elenia VS Mia Frostine!
"Winner! Seraphine!"
The crowd erupted in applause, cheering for Seraphine"s impressive display of skill and power. The first battle of the semi-finals had lived up to the expectations of the crowd, and it was clear that the last battle would be just as thrilling.
The focus now shifted to the next battle, the one everyone had been eagerly antic.i.p.ating: Princess Elenia versus Mia Frostine. The two powerful Rank-S contestants prepared to enter the arena, and the excitement in the stadium reached a fever pitch.
As Seraphine exited the arena. She had secured her spot in the finals, and now all eyes would be on the next battle between Princess Elenia and Mia Frostine.
"The next match will be between Princess Elenia and Mia Frostine!"
The referee announced. The atmosphere in the stadium grew even more electric as the antic.i.p.ation for the upcoming battle reached its peak. Mia stepped onto the arena, a determined look in her eyes. She knew she had a challenging opponent ahead, but she had Zero and Amelia"s advice fresh in her mind. Princess Elenia followed suit, her expression confident and haughty. She hadn"t forgotten her grudge against Zero, and she was determined to prove her superiority by defeating Mia.
Mia and Princess Elenia stood at opposite ends of the arena, their gazes locked in a silent exchange of determination.
"Are you both ready? Then let the battle begin!"
The crowd watched with bated breath as the referee announced the start of the battle.
Princess Elenia attacked Mia, her Arrows blazing with fiery mana. Mia responded with a wave of her hand, creating a shimmering wall of ice that blocked Princess Elenia"s attack.
[ "Aurora"s Grace"]
[ "Ice Spear" ]
The battle raged on, and neither side was able to gain the upper hand. The audience was on the edge of their seats, their hearts pounding with excitement.
[ "Zephyr Volley" ]
The two Rank-S contestants traded blows, their mana clashing in dazzling displays of powerful clashes. Since both of them were long-range fighters, they traded blows from afar.
The battle raged on, and neither side was able to gain the upper hand. The audience was on the edge of their seats, their hearts pounding with excitement.
[ "Zephyr Volley" ]
Princess Elenia, growing impatient, unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks. The charged attack, not only was powerful and many in number but also very fast as it was imbued with wind energy.
[ "Icy Burst" ]
Mia countered with her own magic, freezing the multiple arrows on its path. [ "Ice Wave" ]
Mia raised her hand and summoned a wave of icy attack which froze everything in its path. She unleashed the attack on Princess Elenia, and the attack instantly made its way toward Princess Elenia.
-WHOOSH!
Princess Elenia dodged the attack by flying into the air. [ "Ice Spear" ]
But, Mia wasn"t going to give Princess Elenia time to breathe. She immediately sends another attack towards Princess Elenia who is in the sky.
[ "Tempest Veil" ]
Princess Elenia immediately summoned a veil of wind to protect her from Mia"s attack. Having dodged Mia"s attack, Princess Elenia began charging her arrow with mana as she readied to shoot a powerful attack.
[ "Aeloria"s Tempestuous Galestorm Shot" ]
Princess Elenia summoned a devastating tempest of wind with her arrows. It was an attack of unparalleled force, where the arrows became like the raging winds of a powerful storm, capable of tearing through obstacles and opponents with incredible might and precision.
This attack of hers was even more powerful than Aurora Grace"s and seemed to be her strongest attack. The range of her attack was also very large, and so it seemed almost impossible to dodge this attack.
Mia also had finished gathering mana for her attack.
[ "Stellar Annihilation Waves" ]
-BOOM!
The two opposing forces clashed in a dazzling spectacle of magic and power. The tempestuous galestorm arrows collided with the stellar annihilation waves, creating a breathtaking explosion of magical energy that lit up the entire arena. The shockwaves from the collision sent ripples through the air, and the ground trembled beneath the spectators" feet despite the arena being surrounded by a protective barrier.
Both Mia and Princess Elenia were pushed back by the sheer force of their attacks colliding. Their mana reserves were depleting rapidly, but neither of them showed any sign of backing down. [ "Regal Renewal" ]
Princess Elenia immediately healed all the injuries she sustained during the clash of their attacks. On the other hand, while Mia couldn"t heal like Princess Elenia, however, she could use her ice energy to stop herself from bleeding.
With that, they were back to fighting with each other.
The two Rank-S contestants continued to trade blows, their mana clashing in dazzling displays of power. The battle was evenly matched, and neither side was able to gain the upper hand.
The crowd was on the edge of their seats, their hearts pounding with excitement. The battle was everything they had hoped for and more.
After a few minutes of intense fighting, Princess Elenia decided to change her strategy. At the moment, she has to burn more mana than Mia and she knows that her mana capacity is less than Mia"s.
Although she thought that she would take advantage of her healing spell to slowly exhaust Mia, but it seem that before that happens, her mana will run out.
[ "Tempest Blade" ]
Princess Elenia decided that since she couldn"t win in a long-range fight, she would change her tactics to close combat.
[ "Ice Spear" ]
However, Mia wasn"t going to let Princess Elenia do that. Mia immediately attacked Princess Elenia to prevent her from coming near her.
[ "Zephyr Stride" ]
-WHOOSH!
Princess Elenia activated her Zephyr Stride ability and disappeared in a blur of movement. Princess Elenia then appeared behind Mia Frostine, ready to strike her from behind.
[ "Primordial Ice Palace" ]
But Mia seemed to have already realized what Princess Elenia was planning and immediately summoned the Primordial Ice Palace.
Mia"s eyes glowed with a piercing blue light as she unleashed her ultimate technique. A ma.s.sive dome of ice erupted from the ground, enveloping the entire arena.
Princess Elenia"s strike was not only blocked by the Ice Pillars, but now Princess Elenia found herself trapped inside the Ice Palace.
-CLANG! -CLANG!
Princess Elenia tried to break free from the Ice Palace but her attacks proved ineffective against the thick ice. Moreover, all the damage that she gave to the wall was immediately healed.
It seems that as long as she doesn"t defeat Mia, there is no way for Princess Elenia to escape that place.
Mia, on the other hand, was able to move freely within the palace, her ice magic granting her dominion over this icy realm.
[ "Ice Throne" ]
Mia, now seated on a magnificent ice throne at the center of the palace, surveyed her captive opponent with a calm and confident demeanor. Her blue eyes bore into Princess Elenia"s with an unspoken challenge.
Princess Elenia was still determined and wasn"t willing to give up. She tried to attack Mia several times from a long distance but was all blocked by Ice Pillar.
As the battle progressed, the audience had gone from gasps of amazement to hushed whispers, and now, they watched in awe as the icy battle within the Primordial Ice Palace continued to unfold.
[ "Ice Spear" ]
Mia extended her hand, conjuring a long, gleaming ice spear in her grasp. With a swift, calculated motion, she lunged towards Princess Elenia. The princess barely had time to react as Mia"s attack pierced through the icy prison, narrowly missing her.
Princess Elenia countered with a volley of fiery arrows, hoping to weaken the ice that held her captive. But Mia"s control over the palace was absolute, and her magic effortlessly repaired the damage, making it seem as if her domain was impervious to outside forces.
The battle between the two skilled contestants continued within the confines of the palace. Mia had full control of everything that was happening in the Ice Palace and she effortlessly cornered Princess Elenia. Princess Elenia, on the other hand, struggled to adapt to the frozen environment, finding it increasingly challenging to maintain her fiery attacks.
Mia"s ice magic was relentless. She conjured blizzards and freezing winds that a.s.saulted Princess Elenia from all directions. Ice shards darted through the air, and Princess Elenia had to summon her barriers repeatedly to protect herself.
But as the battle wore on, Princess Elenia"s stamina dwindled, and the realization that her chances of escape were slim began to set in. Desperation fueled her attacks as she unleashed her most potent spells, attempting to break free from the icy prison that held her.
[ "Aeloria"s Tempestuous Galestorm Shot" ]
Mia, however, remained composed and focused. She knew that her victory was within reach, and she just countered Princess Elenia"s attack like before.
[ "Stellar Annihilation Waves" ]
Just like before the two attacks clashed and exploded but unlike before Mia was prepared and she had her Ice Pillar protecting her from explosion.
On the other hand, Princess Elenia had no mana left which meant she had to take the impact of that explosion without any protection.
-BOOM!
With a final, resounding thud, the ice coc.o.o.n shattered into a million glittering fragments, and Princess Elenia fell to the ground, defeated and exhausted. Mia stood victorious, her icy palace dissolving into a shimmering mist that faded into the air.
The referee raised his hand and declared, "Winner! Mia Frostine!"
