Chapter 236 - VI Elliot's Dragon Claw

Start! With the ringing bell marking the start of the battle, both sides unleashed their weapons. Elliot who was on his mother's shoulders returned to his human form, his eyes burning with fighting will. 

At that moment when both sides started sizing each other from afar, Yawen sent her voice to Elliot. "Son, take care of the their leader. Mom, your sis and aunt Aina will take care of the rest." 

Right at the start of the battle, Maeve shot a glance toward Snowcreek and Kye who immediately released their spirit beasts that unleashed a barrage of attacks on Yawen and the other two. Trusting her son to fight the captain, Yawen threw her staff backwards from where a shadow surged and grabbed before raising a huge wall of ice that blocked the enemy's attacks.

Cassie noticed Yawen's gaze and nodded with her head before merging in the shadows, she ran through the entire stage and would released countless void-attribute attacks to decrease their energy.

Golden scales spread all over Yawen's body as she entered her dragon form state. Leaving cracks on the stage as she shot herself through the ice wall, with her claws clashing against a huge fist of ice pertaining to the huge black-ice golem with energy fluctuations not lower than its master.

"Not bad." Yawen snorted, and with her other arm she shot a huge energy claw with a immense wave of golden energy that managed to threw the ice golem far away. In the meanwhile Aina took advantage of all the boost from the staff to open a huge ninth-ranked magic circle around the stage. Yet with the origin on top of the staff shining, the magic circle started to mutate showing five small magic circles that made a even bigger circle together with the first one and just its appearance made the entire air in and out of the stage colder by several levels.

Elliot also summoned a red short sword before he suddenly appeared behind the enemy captain without leaving any trail of his movement. Only at that moment Maeve realized how much she underestimated the young boy. Taking a bronze bow, seven tattoos appeared on the surface of her skin while white particles burst forth.

"Seven-Skies Spirit Body: White Sky!" A single white line was shot from her arrow flying straight towards Elliot. The young boy thought of evade the arrow only to discover it would change directions and follow him, and by the time the first hit his arm, other three lines were coming closer.

"Nice arrow sis. Let's play seriously." Elliot laughed before scales emerged from his skin, and countless stars shined deep within his eyes. The entire aure he radiated had changed, like a ancient sword that was finally unsheathed.

Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa!Pa! His claws were so fast that Maeve didn't even see it coming. They just exchanged countless blows with Elliot being in the lead and Maeve on the defensive, their fast-paced battle attracted the eyes of the crowd who sucked in a breath of cold air.

"Wow, never thought those people had such a powerful mage."

"If that boy can do all of this just as a newborn, how strong would he be in a few hundred years? Some of the crowd were pleasantly surprised. Since the beginning the thought Yawen or Cassie would be the most dangerous of the team, but it seems they underestimated the other two too much, never would they imagine this boy was not even ten years old was so powerful. Only Elijah who was on watching from afar knew his son may very well be way older than he was when he first started cultivating.

"Kye, Goldwing, don't let them cast the spell!" The first to notice the spell was Maeve who immediately shouted to her friends before having do defend another of Elliot's punches. She didn't expected they had such a high-level mage on their team.

However no matter how fast she realized how bad it was, it was too late for them to stop that spell. The light increased and all the spatial gates were closed and the spiritual beasts summoned by the saints vanished like they were never there before.

Yawen who was having to hold the battle against the ice-clad Snowcreek and his golem had a smile on her face. Aina did not disappoint her, she did the spell exactly as she had taught. There has been close to eight minutes of battle when they finally send the beasts away from the arena, and none of the teams had lost a member yet when the figure of two people in the sky were exchanging energy blasts before one of them collapsed from the sky.

The golden-winged man was lying down without any traces of being awake. Then Cassie also got down with her body covered in black mist. 

With intense spatial laws revolving around her, Elliot was covered in a powerful attracting force that pulled both Maeve towards him. Since he knew those two fighting his mom were the weakest of the group, he just had to show a little more of his power to defeat Maeve and battle as he felt only he could defeat her. It didn't even matter if one of them was left standing in the end, as their team would have four members against one. In a single second she he activated the origin within himself and his right claw grew more than a few times in a split second.

Stellar Dragon Splitting the Heavens Apart! A towering dragon claw made of stars imbued with incredible fierceness and an air of arrogance appeared out of nowhere. Her tattoos grew on her skin and released a multi-colored shine.

Seven-Skies Spirit Body: Boundless Seventh Sky!" Seven light formed a similar huge pillar of light that clashed against each other and a even the sky could be seen splitting apart under the stellar claw. 

The two moves barely touched and the latter giant arrow broke like glass and smashed the leader of the enemy team with a power everyone knew it would easily kill her. But Elliot who had noticed the gaze of his mother from far away managed to reduce the claw's power at the last second only giving only a little damaged on her soul and caught hold of her body.

With this the other two stopped to look at their captain who tembled her eyelashes a bit before opening her eyes. Her soul nearly left her body when she noticed most of her clothes were ripped apart by the claw and that the young blond boy was holding her on his arms, her face suddenly grew hotter and Elliot sent his voice.

"I may look young, but don't think I'm this young. I've lived for more than a thousand years in an egg digesting the information about this world, so I'm not that kind of innocent boy. I will be taking you to the healers, it was my fault that left you in this state." Elliot had a hint of cunning air around him when he said it and Maeve's face had a deeper shade of red. She realized he knew the result of the battle since the very beginning, and this made her realized how talented this boy really was. Because it would be humiliating for others to see her in this state, he her covered in a blanket he formed with magic to the healers.

Within the crowd, Elijah had the sudden impulse to get up and yell 'That boy is my son!' full of pride, but he had to hold himself.
