Magic Duel Arc: Chapter 9. The Impossible Duel.
The narrator and commentator announce the beginning of the match.
3,2,1 begin.
With the match officially beginning, Merial is the first to strike.
Blaze (lighting elemental magic).
Valoran counters easily as he is opening a portal which takes in the attack and opens another portal directly in front of Merial.
"WOW VALORAN OPENS A PORTAL WHICH SHIELDS HIM FROM THE ATTACK AND LAUNCHED THE ATTACK BACK TOWARD MERIAL"-The commentator says.
The crowd is cheering and cheering on.
" YYYAAAAAAYYY"
Merial gets hit full force with her own attack.
A large amount of wind and dust covers Merial and her teammates.
Then the dust settles.....
Merial stands there as if nothing happened.
"Ohh I see you took your attack head-on and managed to take no damage. Impressive."-Valoran replies.
Kanan then starts to speak.
"I'll crush you so hard that even your shadow will run from me"
Valoran stands smirking.
"Shadow...Kanan, I never thought I would say that but you have given me an idea."-Valoran says mockingly to Kanan.
" What's the-'' Kanan gets interrupted.
"You should take a look at your shadow"-Valoran replies.
Kanan turns around to see that his shadow is towering over him at least 15 feet (4.5M tall)
Valoran used the spell. Myst (shadow magic) to transform Kanan's own shadow into a monster.
The shadow towering over Kanan looks like a monster.
The shadow attacks Kanan.
" I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. VALORAN TRANSFORMED KANAN'S SHADOW AND TURNED IT AGAINST HIM"-The commentator says.
"With him occupied for a while I can focus on you three"-Valoran says to Merial, Lorean and Lorien.
Lorien uses extert (explosion magic).
A huge explosion and a huge sphere of fire engulf Valoran and Vedika.
" WHAT A HUGE EXPLOSION!!! IS THIS THE END FOR VALORAN?"-The commentator says.
Vedika's family and Aelina looked worried.
As the explosion wears off Merial and her teammates as well as the entire audience is shocked to see what is going on.
Valoran just stands there as if nothing had happened and Vedika is inside a magic barrier which has the shape of a dome.
"You are a tough one"-Merial says.
Kanan eventually breaks the myst spell (shadow magic).
Kanan's shadow returns to normal.
Kanan is furious about what Valoran did.
Valoran and Vedika directly stare toward Merial, Kanan Lorena and Lorian.
" It seems we cannot go easy on you anymore"-Merial says.
"Let's get serious"-Lorena says.
"Show me your best magic"-Valoran says.
Merial then casts gravin (gravity magic).
She then shoots powerful gravity blasts toward Valoran.
Valoran then also casts gravin (gravity magic) which counters her magic blasts.
Valoran is impressed by the fact that she was able to use such powerful and complex magic.
" I am impressed. The fact you can use gravity magic which requires deep knowledge of magic and knowledge of laws"-Valoran says.
"Flattery will get you nowhere"-Merial says.
"WHAT'S THIS.....? GRAVITY MAGIC"-The commentator says.
Lorian and Lorena then start to speak.
" Merial we can't hold back anymore"
Merial then casts extert (explosion magic.)
This explosion was far more powerful than the previous explosion.
An extremely large sphere of fire was then created and the explosion was so loud and the shockwave was so powerful that the entire capital city ground was slightly vibrating.
When the explosion clears once again Valoran is unharmed and Vedika was inside a dome-shaped barrier.
Lorian and Lorena then use alsor (earth elemental magic).
They throw large numbers of boulders and rocks toward Valoran.
When the boulders approach Valoran they simply explode.
Merial then realises that Valoran was no ordinary magic-user.
"None of our attacks seem to hurt him...What is he?"-Merial says.
Merial then shoots a laser beam toward Valoran.
Valoran once again is unphased by that attack.
" UNBELIEVABLE. NOT EVEN A LASER BEAM CAN HURT VALORAN"-The commentator says.
"I am impressed. You are using the sun's light energy and bundling it into a beam of light which has enough power to cut through almost anything by controlling the magnitude and direction of the sun's light rays"-Valoran says.
" You are not just powerful. You are just as smart"-Merial says.
Large numbers of meteors head directly toward Valoran.
Kanan used izari (mid-tier fire elemental magic) in combination with alsor (earth elemental magic.)
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Valoran lifts his arm in the air casting detroze (destruction magic) which turns the meteors to dust.
Lorian and Lorean charge him with swords in hand.
The speed of those two is so fast that not even trained eyes can keep up with them; they are invisible.
Valoran summons his sword blocking each of the strikes with a single hand holding the sword and with the other arm creating a powerful barrier around Vedika.
Valoran strength is so powerful that with barely a sword strike it creates a powerful explosion that causes Lorian and Lorean to be thrown backwards and hit the floor hard.
Merial analysis of the situation lets her come to one conclusion.
"Kanan, Lorian and Lorena. He cannot be defeated with magic alone. We must cause a distraction and try to overwhelm him."
Merial casts an anti-magic barrier around Valoran and Vedika.
"No matter how great your magic power is.....inside this barrier all magic is nullified. Simply put magic does not work inside that barrier"-Merial says.
Merial then uses one of her strongest abilities.
"It is your fault for making me do this"-Merial says.
Merial raises her arms into the sky and casts alsir (advanced earth elemental magic).
A huge meteor which is 1km tall and 200m wide is directly heading toward Valoran from an altitude of 300m.
" A GIANT METEOR DIRECTLY IS HEADING TOWARD VALORAN"-The commentator says.
" Merial, are you sure this attack is necessary?"-Lorian asks.
"If he gives up then I will simply destroy the meteor"-Merial says.
" Wise. You first shut down my magic using an anti-magical barrier and then due to that caused a scenario which would make me forfeit the match."-Valoran says.
"Indeed"-Merial replies.
" What a shame I won't forfeit"-Valoran says.
Merial, Lorian, Lorena and Kanan are shocked and can't believe he is not forfeiting the match.
"WHAT!? DESPITE THE ODDS AND GIVEN THAT VALORAN CAN'T USE MAGIC HE STILL REFUSES TO FORFEIT"-The commentator says.
Aelina and the Lantias are worried about what will happen to them.
" Don't worry. They are led to believe they cornered Valoran. Valoran will make sure she's safe"-Artemsia says to the Lantias.
"Who are you...If I may ask?"-Everlyn asks.
"My name is Artemsia. I am a close friend of Valorans. I can assure you Valoran faced dangers that make this look like a child's birthday party"-Artemsia says.
" Are you sure you don't want to give up?"-Merial says.
"I am" -Valoran replies.
The meteor comes closer and closer; it's now only a few seconds away.
Merial looks worried since she doesn't want to badly injure Valoran and especially Vedika.
"GIVE UP YOU FOOL!" Merial screams frustrated by the fact he is not backing down.
3,2,1 BOOOOM!
The meteor directly hit Valoran and once again due to the impact it created a huge amount of wind and dust launched into the air covering the entire arena. The shockwave was so strong that everyone was knocked down.
Merial thinks she killed Valoran and Vedika.
"Wh-What have I done?"-Merial says as her eyes begin to tear up and she drops to the ground.
" It's not your fault. He is the one to blame."-Lorena says.
"Bastard got what he deserved"-Kanan says.
Everyone slowly got back up on their feet.
Everyone's eyes are filled with sadness and despair.
" I can't believe he's dead" "The poor little girl"-The audience members say to each other.
Vedika's family is about to cry…when all of a sudden.....
The meteor starts to move upwards.
" WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?-The commentator starts to speak.
Then Valoran starts to speak.
"You are determined to win. Aren't you Merial?"-Valoran asks.
What Merial and her team see...What the entire audience sees...What the entire capital sees is truly strength they have never seen before.
Valoran lifts the entire meteor with a single hand.
" H-How is this possible?"-Merial says.
"We made sure you can't use magic. "-Lorian says.
" Hmm like why would I require magic to lift something as light as this?"-Valoran says.
"I KNOW WHAT YOU ALL THINK. HOWEVER, THIS IS REAL VALORAN SILVER IS LIFTING AND HOLDING THIS HUGE METEOR WITH A SINGLE HAND. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN STOP HIM?"-The commentator says and asks.
The audience and the entire capital which is watching this on the broadcast system are stunned and completely speechless.
" What is he?" "How powerful is he?" "He looks like he's doing this with no effort"-People say to each other.
" What is he?" "This power"-Merial and her teammates say in utter shock.
Merial snaps out of the shock-like state.
" Now it's our chance. He only has a hand free, the other is occupied holding the meteor"-Merial says.
"Before we continue. I am impressed with the meteor you managed to create. Its atomic structure is impressive."-Valoran says.
"So you noticed?"-Merial says.
" I noticed it immediately when you created it. The atomic structure created a heavier element than just common stone"-Valoran explains.
"Another correct answer. This element stone I created is 100× denser and therefore its weight and durability have increased significantly"-Merial says.
" ENOUGH CHIT-CHAT... Let's CRUSH HIM"-Kanan yells furiously.
"He's right."-Lorian says.
Lorian, Lorena and Kanan all with swords in hand charge toward Valoran.
" Smart. Charging me with me being a little distracted"-Valoran says.
Valoran uses taslan (creation magic) and creates one sword which is moving in the air due to Valoran telekinetic abilities.
The three of them aim for Valoran...
The sword Valoran created blocked every strike.
"What? You, can use your magic to move your sword to block our strikes?"-Kanan asks.
" Aren't you a clever one?"-Valoran says.
Kanan, Lorian and Lorena despite their incredible speed with the blade are too slow and can't get past the sword that Valoran controls with his mind.
"VALORAN SILVER BLOCKS ALL THE STRIKES WITH A SWORD WITHOUT HOLDING ON TO IT. WHAT INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE FROM THIS MAN"-The commentator says.
Kanan, Lorian and Lorena are backing off seeing that they can't breach the defence.
Merial casts a double-layered anti-magic barrier.
Valoran's sword drops to the floor since his telekinetic magical power is negated.
"It seems my magic is nullified."-Valoran says.
"Is that bad?"-Vedika asks worriedly.
"No, it's not"-Valoran replies.
"Now it's our chance."-Kanan says.
Merial, Kanan, Lorian and Lorean each cast a giant powerful gravity magic circle using the spell gravin (gravity magic) above the meteor that Valoran is holding.
" Haha, trying to increase the weight of the meteor by increasing the gravity strength around the meteor. I am sure Kanan was not the one who came up with that strategy"-Valoran says.
"You bastard"-Valoran replies.
" Everyone increases the gravity by 2"-Merial orders her teammate.
Despite all four of them increasing the gravity by 2 Valoran is still able to lift the meteor with one arm effortlessly.
"UNBELIEVABLE. DESPITE THIS INCREASE IN GRAVITY, VALORAN IS STILL UNPHASED AND DOES NOT SEEM TO STRUGGLE IN THE LEAST"-The commentator says.
The crowd is cheering on and are continuously impressed with the strength that Valoran demonstrates.
" YAYYY"-The crowd is cheering.
"Everyone increases the gravity by 10"-Merial orders.
Everyone then increases the gravity strength by 10.
Still no effect...
"By 20" -Merial says in a slightly frustrated tone.
Still no effect whatsoever...
Merial and the others are more frustrated than ever before.
"INCREASE THE GRAVITIES STRENGTH BY 100"-Merial shouts in frustration.
Still no effect...
"Increasing the strength of gravity at a factor that high will put a terrible strain on your body" - Valoran says.
Merial and her teammates are slowly getting exhausted and breathing hard, especially her teammates.
Kanan was the first to collapse to the ground.
Lorian and Lorena just a few seconds after.
"OHH NO MERIAL TEAMMATES ARE ON THE GROUND EXHAUSTED"-The commentator says.
"I think you had enough for today"-Valoran says.
Valoran then destroys the anti-magical barrier.
" Impossible!"-Merial says.
"You really thought that nullifying all magic will work on me?"-Valoran asks mockingly.
"It seems it doesn't "-Merial says in disbelief.
Valoran then looks down toward Vedika and asks her a question...
" Vedika, what flowers do you like?"
Vedika then smiles and replies with...
"Cherry Blossoms"- Her eyes are sparkling.
"Great choice"-Valoran says.
"Time to turn this meteor into something beautiful"-Valoran says.
As soon as Valoran says that the meteor turns white and in less than a second this huge meteor turns into hundreds of thousands of cherry blossoms leaves.
The entire arena is covered up with cherry blossom leaves.
"Wow. This is beautiful"-Vedika says filled with excitement.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?. VALORAN SOMEHOW TURNED THE METEOR INTO THOUSANDS OF CHERRY BLOSSOMS"-The commentator says.
"Amazing....just amazing"-Merial says.
"This is an amazing Valoran"-Vedika says.
" What magic is this?"-Lorena asks slowly, getting back up on her feet.
"Magic?... This was not magic. I manipulated matter on a subatomic level and changed the entire subatomic structure to create these beautiful cherry blossoms for Vedika"-Valoran replies.
" You mean to tell us that this was not magic?"-Kanan asks.
"I see you are still slow. Yes, I did not use magic"-Valoran says to Kanan.
Merial and her teammates got up for the final attack.
All of them come together and fire the most powerful bolts of lighting they can produce.
Blaze (lighting elemental magic)
"I am impressed despite all the abuse you have received and given how close you are to exhaustion you are still able to output this much power."-Valoran says.
"I will show you another none magical attack as a symbol of respect" -Valoran says.
Valoran then points a finger toward them.
A blue sphere then forms the size of Valorans fingertip.
Then the sphere in a fraction of a second turns into a beam of energy.
The beam cancels out the blaze (lighting elemental magic) attacks and strikes the four opponents.
All of them hit the floor hard and were thrown backwards with tremendous speed as a huge explosion was created.
Merial then on the floor almost unconscious and asks Valoran.
"What was that?"
Valoran then walks over to them.
"That was a pure energy blast."-Valoran replies.
Then Merial, like her teammate's loses consciousness.
" THE WINNER IS VALORAN SILVER"-The commentator says.
