Chapter 110 - The Wrath Of A Dragon

Celia was taken aback : "Prepare a shield in advance ?"

Liam explained to her : "Ya, you told me before that you needed to split your concentration to make several magic pills at the same time, it is the same principle here, except that a part of your concentration and a part of your spiritual energy reserve will be used to create a shield.

It will be like a permanent shield around you, like that you will no need to think about it and if you are pluged into his illusion your shield will work for you automatically.

You have to make it strong enough to have time to break the illusion before he could take advantage of that time to eliminate you, got it ?"

Celia was smiling and said : "Ya, got it, but if I use this technique the duel cannot go on forever because creating a permanent shield around me will consume a lot of spiritual energy, if I could use my green papers there would be no problem but without it, I could hold out at most ten minutes before it drains all my spiritual energy away."

Liam asked her curiously : "And using Anaya's energy through your bond ?"

Celia shook her head negatively and said : "The ten minutes is taking into account all of my options, the recycling loop and Anaya's energy through our bond."

Celia asked Tal another question : "Tal, what are the weak points that I can use against him ?"

Tal thought about it a bit before answering : "Using The Living Nightmare will drain a lot of his spiritual energy, if you can break his illusion you will have to strike fast and strong because he will be disturbed by this and his reflexes will probably be slower at this time.

The best elements for fighting thunderbirds are the water and earth elements, those will be the ones you will do the most damage with."

Celia said to them : "Well i think i know everything i needed to fight him, it will be alright now.

Tal can you tell everyone about our conversation like that they won't be worried if i fight against him.

Liam let's go to see which one will be my future victim, the next round should start soon."

Tal gave a last warning look to Liam and went back to the bleachers to explain the situation to everyone.

The second round was being posted, and not surprisingly the twelve remaining participants were those who had accumulated the most points since the start of the competition.

This time Celia would be fighting a mage from the shadow sect, she was a level nine mage and she had a pretty good score with sixty two points.

Celia was now ninety-five points, she could probably using the same method to fight as she used against the sun sect level ten mage, but she was curious to see what this girl was worth.

Celia walked over to her designated combat ring with Liam and she asked him : "Do you have anything against the shadow sect ?"

Liam looked at her surprised and said to her : "No, actually I have a pretty good relationship with them, they are the major sect of the south eastern kingdom, and although they are a bit snobbish sometimes, I have always done good business with them and I have always recruited excellent talents from this sect, why are you asking me that ?"

Celia smiled and said : "That's good then, I would like to fight this girl and test the difference between us, if you doesn't mind.

Don't worry though, if I see that I am not her match I will take care of her the same way as this mage from the sun sect, are you agree with that ?"

Liam laughed and said to her : "I have no problem with that but if you intend to play with a girl i think you should ask you beloved wife if she is agreed.

The jealousy from a red dragon is already such a pain so i can't imagine the one from the golden dragon you should be careful of her wrath."

Celia hit her own head and said : "Damn, i just forgot about that. Wait for me i will be right back !"

Celia used her spiritual energy to create wings in her back and fly to Anaya.

Anaya caught her in her arms and asked her : "What's wrong my love ?"

Celia said with a grin in her face : "My beloved baby wife, i have a favor to ask you, can i fight with that level nine mage, i really want to try a true fight to see if i m be able to handle an ennemy without my green papers."

Anaya didn't get why she was asking for that, so she said : "If Liam is agreed then it's fine, why do you have to ask me ?"

Celia sighed and caressed her cheek with her finger, she said : "I have to because it's a girl, and Liam just remembered me that the wrath of a dragon is not a joke."

Celia heard everyone coughing or mumbling and Alec was looking at Liam from afar with a smirk on his face, may be i went too far this time thought Celia, poor Liam, Alec is going to eat him for a long time tonight, she could see that just with that gaze.

Anaya spanked her and said : "If you are here to cause trouble then go back to fight i will take care of you tonight."

Celia laughed happily and said : "Okay sweetie, no worry i will let you punish me the whole night."

She heard at least five difference voices yelling at her name "Cel..." so she flew back to the combat ring and once there she sent a flying kiss to Anaya.

Liam seeing everyone's reaction and especially the piercing look that his man was giving to him, he couldn't help asking Celia : "What did you say to make Alec look at me like that ? Damn Cel ! This is not funny !"

Celia just had an irrepressible laughter, when she calmed down she said : "Don't worry, I just set you up on a date with your man tonight."

Liam hit the back of her head again and said : "Forget it, you better just focus on your fight now, i m sure you didn't notice that you have caused quite a commotion using your spiritual energy wings to go see your wife."

Celia looked at him disbelief : "Um ? Why is that ? Isn't something normal for a mage to do ?"

Liam said to her : "Of course it is not normal, idiot ! After this competition can't you see the gap between you and the other mages on the spiritual energy mastery, it is so obvious, you just drove them crazy from jealousy, again."

Celia thought back to the competition trials and what said Liam made sense, her mastery of her spiritual energy was far ahead from the others.

She said to him : "Forget it, do you have any advice for me ?"

Liam smiled at her and patted her head gently, he said : "Stay focus, trust your instinct, and use all five elements if it's necessary to take her down, got it ?"

Celia smiled at him : "That was a quick speech, i love it !"

Liam hit her again at the back of her head before leaving the combat ring, Cel was really in a teasing mood today, he thought.

Once Liam left the combat ring, Celia focused on her opponent, she decided to practice maintaining a permanent shield around her as Liam had suggested earlier.

She couldn't use a multi-layered shield like when she was using her green papers, so she just decided to create a force field around her.

She made it close to her body to waste as little energy as possible, and she decided to make it more resistant only to the places where her vital points were located.

She had done that with the goal to saving a maximum of her spiritual energy while being as efficient as possible.

The fight was about to begin and Celia was starting to call upon her lightning element which served her as well to move faster than to attack.

She heard the countdown start, five ... her heart began to beat faster, four ... she was filled with excitement and adrenaline, three ... she thought that now she could understand truly why her baby wife was so eager to fight, two ..., one ..., Fight !

Her opponent immediately cast an attack spell on her using the water element, a powerful jet was directed towards her at full speed, she easily dodged it thanks to Liam's training with gravity, her movements had become quick and precise, she immediately launched her counterattack and used her water jet against her.

Water was a natural conductor for lightning, so she sent a strong burst of lightning up the current of her overpowered water jet, and it all happened so quickly that she didn't have time to break contact with her spell, she therefore took with full force Celia's counterattack.
