"Too young and arrogant!" Francis growled disdainfully as he caught the beam of energy with his right hand while his left hand he struck at Francis's chest, reaching for his heart.
"You talk too much old man!" Fernandos sneered.
Fortunately, Agus was a guardian knight and a paladin, skilled at melee combat, coupled with the archangel mode which boosted his physical capabilities greatly, allowing him to keep up with a weakened Francis and read his movements perfectly. He quickly grabbed Francis's left hand while slashing at him from the side with his glowing magic weapon, aiming to slash him in two.
In response Francis pulled Fernandos abruptly, breaking his rhythm before landing a devastating kick on his chest, using the momentum gathered to push himself back. In a battle like this, a mage required space to safely cast his or her spells, if it were on a good day, Francis wouldn't be bothered battling Fernandos at close quarters but in his current condition he could barely keep up with Fernandos, In a prolonged battle, Fernandos will definitely overpower him and easily suppress him with his greater stamina and combat techniques.
The moment Francis was given a breathing chance, he clapped his hand together and six magic circles appeared right in front of him, drawing a terrifying amount of mana, but before the spells could activate numerous light spells bombarded the magic circles, ultimately shattering the spells halfway while some of the excess spells struck Francis.
"Hexa-casting… you old monsters are really terrifying" Agus shot Francis sinister smile while all the mages kept preparing a new wave of spells.
"Bastards!"
Francis wasn't even given the chance to curse properly before he was deal with another volley of spells. Depending solely on his aura for defense since it didn't require incantations or formations, Francis was forced into a defensive position for a while.
"Die" Fernandos' voice pulled Francis back to reality.
Holy prayer: Guardian steps!
Grabbing the hilt of his weapon tightly, he hacked down at the empty air. At first, Francis saw this extremely dumb but when the spell activated it was too late to add extra layers of protection. The nature mage could only watch a mountain-sized version of Agus magic weapon appear above him and hack down at him in the same manner. Mimicking its master's actions!

Peng!
Peng!!
Using her silver rod Diana parried the attacks of the dragon form Gerald but was still forced to retreat due to his overwhelming strength. Before she could get a moment of rest a black hairy beast with glowing red eyes descended from the skies, striking down at her with its claws brimming with blood-red aura.
"Secret combat technique: Brilliant claw" Scott roared.
In response, Diana spun to the side to evade the deadly attack entirely but to her greatest surprise, she watched the werewolf kick the empty air, shooting at her at a terrifying speed as if it was pushed forward by an incredible force.
"Moon magic: Mirror image!" Diana gritted her teeth while enduring the pain of Derik's aura ravaging her body.
She tapped the space in front of her lightly with her staff, creating a rectangular mirror appear. Instantly another black werewolf with glowing red eyes and blood-red eyes shot out abruptly, colliding with Scott. After the collision, the mirror replica vanished while Scott was left writhing in pain.
"Bitch!" Karl growled as he was engulfed in flame, taking the shape of a flaming phoenix while he dived down at Diana.
Fire magic: Phoniex flame!
In response, Diana replicated the previous spell, tapping her silver staff at his direction, sending a blazing mirror image replica at him to collide with the original.
Dang!
A powerful magic weapon collided with the thin but powerful layer of silver aura set around her for defensive purposes. Seeing that her assassination attempt was a complete failure, Daemon retreated hastily but Diana was much faster. She swiped her magic staff at Daemon's general location, releasing an arc of silver energy, and a second later blood spurted out from an unknown source, and then Daemon's figure appeared out of nowhere. She could only shot Diana a hateful glance before losing grip over her powers and falling off the skies like a bird shot down by a hunter.
"You!" Donald roared furiously as he gathered his aura around his green spear before tossing it at Diana.
Not caring to see whether it hit or missed, he turned into a green beam of light and chased after Daemon's falling body. To counter this, Diana effortlessly spun to the side, evading the spear attack, only to appear in between Gin and Gerald who glared at her with murderous eyes. They were already preparing their attacks and waiting for the right moment. As soon as Diana appeared, they quickly released their attacks. While Gerald spat out a torrent of scorching red flames, Gin released a massive wave of blue aura.
"Moon magic: Twofold mirror image!" Diana half growled due to the annoyance and pain she was feeling.
Two mirrors appeared at the directions of the attacks, replicating them and sending them back to the casters. Gerald and Gin weren't fools either, they watched Diana use this technique on two allies that's why the chose range attacks. In their opinion, the reflected attacks should possess equal strength so both attacks should cancel each other out but while these attacks collided, silver energy rods moved within the attacks, unseen. By the time Gerald or Gin realized what was happening, the silver rods struck their exposed chests, forcing them to spit out a mouthful of blood and falling off the skies.
While the others were drowning in despair, Diana was ecstatic. She suppressed her pains and focused on the battle!
Her smug smile portrayed her satisfaction with her performance and her movements and counters only kept getting better. Diana has always been considered the weakest gold realm masters because of her lacking combat experience, ridiculed by peak silver realm experts like Kira and Gerald who were considered as old monsters. Only when battling for her survival did her instincts kick in, revealing how skilled she was in the art of combat
