At the mont, not only Gerri's two palms were on fire, but his whole body was covered by purple blazing flas. Even though Ery had stood far from Gerri, who was currently the very definition of a fire hazard, Ery could clearly feel the searing heat emanating from the guy.
Without realizing Ery's facial expression, Gerri continued using his fire elental spells to create a propelling force around his body, making him able to float in the air.
As he looked at Gerri's current state, Ery almost thought the man had turned into so kind of fire elental creature. Heck, Ery would really think Gerri was indeed one, if he didn't know the figure in front of him was Gerri.
"Ery! I guarantee you will lose against ! The fight will not last more than 10 minutes!"
Upon hearing that, Ery quickly schooled his expression, as he prepared himself. Ignoring the scorching temperature, Ery said, "I'm ready!"
Right as Ery finished saying that, Gerri swiftly zood towards him just like a large-sized fireball. It was clear Gerri intended to fight Ery in close range combat.
[Darkness Infusion]
Ery's tier 3 sword quickly glowed, as it was covered by a black-colored substance. anwhile, his whole body turned grayish, as [Granite Skin] was ready to tank any attack Gerri threw at him.
[Heroic Slash]
[Flaming Punch]
This ti no tricks were involved, the familiar crescent slash was imdiately released by Ery, while Gerri greeted the slash with the embodint of a massive blazing fist. The two different, yet deadly attacks clashed against each other, causing a loud explosion at the point of impact.
Ery was being pushed half a dozen steps back by the howling winds resulting from the explosion. Ery expected Gerri to be the sa as him, being pushed back by the aftereffect. Alas, it didn't turn out that way.
The mont Ery had only stabilized himself, he realized there was only a few ters separating the two of them. Hence, he hurriedly raised his sword and took a defensive stance.
As he arrived before Ery, Gerri began to launch his moves.
Gerri chose to combine the improved speed he got thanks to the [Fire Aura] spell with his martial art techniques. The result of the combination was a series of attacks that could be unleashed from the front, left and right. The attacks were coming towards Ery like a wave of raging torrent, causing him to be overwheld for a mont.
Clank! Clank! Clank!
Ery was barely able to parry the first two attacks with his sword, as his body was being pushed back, sliding on the ground because of the montum. From the clash earlier, Ery was now sure Gerri had a higher battle power than him.
When Ery realized this fact, he was extrely shocked. It seed his 53 battle power still was not enough to be compared with the flaming figure before him.
While still moving around Ery and launching attacks wildly from all sides, Gerri, apparently, still had the ti and leisure to strike a question to Ery.
"Why are you still not using your transformation ability, Ery?!"
As Ery was getting overwheld, he suddenly noticed sothing that made his expression turn grave. It was clear Gerri's speed was gradually increasing and Ery was sure he would not be able to withstand his assaults.
Noticing Ery still hadn't resorted to his transformation, Gerri shouted, "Let see the real Savage Acolyte!!!"
BAM!!!
Gerry's flaming punch managed to hit Ery's stomach, causing him to lose his breath for a second and be thrown several ters away. The most irritating thing about Gerri's [Flaming Punch] was its after effect, where it would dwell inside the body for a substantial amount of seconds, causing great pain.
Ery spat out drops of blood, as the pain wrecked through his body. He surely needed a new tactic, or he wouldn't have the hope to win the fight. However, Ery would not resort to his transformation.
Ery obviously knew his stage one [Fey Transformation] would be more than enough to outspeed Gerri. But no, not yet. Ery wished to prove himself, using only all the training he had gone through the past 10 days. This was also a way to see his growth. Moreover, Ery's main goal was to impress the grand magus with his combat and spells' prowess.
Even so, Ery would not let himself be bullied by Gerri for a second longer. Hence, he decided to make his own move.
[Shadow Mist]
[Shadow Binding Root]
With [Shadow Mist], Gerri's vision was hindered and Ery managed to give himself so breathing space, as his mirror images started to move. While Gerri was busy with his mirror images, dark roots rapidly erged from the ground and slithered towards Gerri, disrupting his movent.
Therefore, not only did Gerri need to guess which of the images in the mist was the real one, he also needed to take care of the slithering roots below him, that were trying to catch his legs.
Gerri's movents were greatly impeded when one of the roots managed to tie his leg and bound his body.
Even though Gerri was able to free himself by burning the roots with his fla, with several roots working together to bind him, Gerri was at least stopped for a second. That was when Ery launched his offensive.
[Blink]
Ery's favorite spell was casted, as he appeared right behind the struggling Gerri. A bright luster appeared on Ery's sword before he sent another [Heroic Slash] to Gerri.
Before the slash t Gerri's exposed back, he unexpectedly managed to free himself at the last second using the spell [Ignite], before proceeding to dodge the slash. Imdiately after, Gerri sent his signature purple fireball towards Ery, while Ery swiftly teleported away the mont he saw the purple fla fusing into a ball.
The two of them were fighting as if it was a ga of cat and mouse. As the faster one wasn't necessarily able to catch the prey. Even when Gerri was able to get close to the real Ery, Ery would just blinked away. And when Ery managed to land a strike, the result was miniscule.
The battle was going on like this for a while, until at one mont both of them stopped and looked at each other, as they took a breather from such a fast-paced battle.
As expected, Gerri opened his mouth first, "Amazing, Ery! You can cast multiple spells at the sa ti and with the right timing! You… have improved a lot!" Gerri said, as the [Fire Aura] spell was gone from his body.
"So, will you give up now?" Ery asked.
"Oh, hell no!" Gerri replied. He then proceeded to raise both his hands up in the air, "I prepared this spell for those privileged acolytes... But I guess you are worthy of it, Ery! After all, this spell is perfect for an acolyte such as you.."
Ery shook his head and said, "You talk too much, Gerri."
Large amounts of blazing flas began to materialize above Gerri's hands, before they coalesced into a wave. The sight reminded Ery of the tier 3 spell [Fire Wave]. However, this particular spell appeared a lot more grand and intense, as the wave moved in accordance with the movents made by Gerri's hands.
In an instant, the wave was surging forward, towards Ery's direction. But instead of heading directly at him, the wave was flowing and rotating around Ery, covering him from every direction.
Realizing all around him had been covered with scorching flas, Ery knew he was in deep trouble. It appeared Gerri was able to find out that Ery's [Blink] spell weakness: it was unable to teleport him to the place he could not see.
Hence, Ery currently felt like he was in the eye of a fla tornado, the temperature was so intense Ery could feel his [Granite Skin] began to weaken. As if the situation wasn't bad enough, the rotating fla wave began to inch closer to him.
At this mont, Ery knew he would definitely be screwed if he didn't do anything.
