Chapter 74: That's A Close One

A cloud of smoke enveloped the side of the sparring stage where Kraftvoll was in. Prince Aragorn can't see anything on that side of the sparring stage so he just braced himself for future attacks.

'How was he able to move inside the frozen Serpent Wave seishin spell!? All of those who were hit by it are all unable to move and continue to fight against me. How was he able to do that!?' the elven prince thought after seeing how the smoke enveloped the area. around where Kraftvoll was standing on.

To know how Kraftvoll escaped from the grasped of the Serpent Wave seishin spell which was conjured by Prince Aragorn, we have to go back a few minutes earlier to know his actions.

~~Flashback~~

Right before the Serpent wave managed to hit Kraftvoll, he thought of something on how he would be able to escape its grasp.

'What do I do!? The Serpent Wave seishin spell is upon me! Oh, that's how I will able to avoid getting immobilized by that seishin spell!' Kraftvoll thought with a smile in his face.

Right before Kraftvoll was hit by the Serpent wave, he used the Aqua defense that was enveloping his body like armor to create an orb of water that surrounded him.

When the aqua defense surrounded Kraftvoll like a sphere, it suddenly froze. After that, the Serpent Wave seishin spell that Prince Aragorn had cast earlier was able to swallow the whole ice orb where Kraftvoll was in.

When it hit the whole ice orb created from the Aqua defense, it froze because it technically reached its target.

'Whew! That was a close one! I better start planning something now.' Kraftvoll sighed to himself after he was almost defeated during the first exchange.

Inside the frozen Serpent Wave seishin spell, Kraftvoll started crafting a plan to get out the ice that surrounded him and attack his current opponent, Prince Aragorn. This was the reason why there was a slight pause for a few seconds before Kraftvoll made his move.

Since Kraftvoll was inside the frozen serpent wave, he was not able to gather seishin essence from the outside so he just used the inner seishin that he had gathered earlier before his fight.

Some of his inner seishin essences started to turn into heat. Thus, the frozen serpent wave started to melt which started smoke to be produced from the evaporation of the water.

Kraftvoll shouted, "Blazing Overload!"

Fire enveloped around Kraftvoll after he had insta-cast the Blazing Overload seishin spell as he ascends from the melting Aqua Defense and Serpent Wave seishin spells.

~~Flashback end~~

The immense heat of the fire made the frozen Serpent Wave and Aqua Defense seishin spells evaporate completely. Although this fire was touching Kraftvoll's skin, it did not hurt him at all because he was the one who invoked the seishin spell.

Like the Aqua Defense seishin spell, he can control it at will. Wherever he wanted it to move it will move.

When Kraftvoll saw the smoke enveloping the area around him, and he thought of using this smoke that surrounded him to his advantage so he immediately started chanting a seishin spell.

"As the element who represent fear itself.." Dark seishin essences started gathering around Kraftvoll as he was chanting this seishin spell of his.

"I command thee, summon those who lurk in the darkness, Darkness Familiar!"

The dark seishin essences that Kraftvoll were to gather when he was chanting the spell transformed into a shadow familiar.

After he summoned his shadow familiar, Kraftvoll immediately gave his command to it. "My shadow familiar, hold Prince Aragorn so that he can't cast any seishin spell to attack me!" he commanded.

The shadow familiar that he had summoned nodded and it went immediately to the elven prince's side to do what his master had commanded him to do.

On Prince Aragorn's side, the elven prince was still carefully observing the smoke. He was still holding his Blazing shield firmly in case there was a surprise attack to him.

A moment later, Kraftvoll's shadow familiar came out of the smoke and immediately went toward Prince Aragorn. He was shocked after seeing that shadow familiar charging on his way.

'Is that his shadow familiar!?'
