With Paulo’s help and unrestricted access to all floors of the royal library, Kayden found so spells to build his repertoire as a wizard. The first was a spell specific to the lightning elent that increased his speed considerably but had a large expenditure of mana.
Fortunately, with his path, he could maintain this spell for hours without having the slightest bit of mana exhaustion. The spell’s na was "Acceleration", it was an improved version of his old spell, and its performance was almost twice as good as using an apprentice spell.
Ashley wouldn’t be able to last three moves if Kayden gave it his all this ti, really five lightning strikes and five concepts took him to a higher level. Another spell he chose was a lightning aura for his sword.
His attacks were now covered by electricity, and the wounds caused by his katana would remain open longer and prevent the blood from clotting, in addition, they caused a constant burning in the region.
Kayden also chose a wind elent spell so he could fly at greater speeds, at the mont he just solidified a chunk of mana and walked, but that wasn’t very economical or fast.
Kayden did not look for any offensive spell, as his spell "The Fall of the Heavens" was already powerful and if he sought to improve it he could use this spell up to the peak of the first realm, even more so with its path giving a large area of effect, for him.
Kayden returned to the coliseum, he wanted to face second place, and to his surprise, he discovered that it was the water mage he faced a few months ago in the interroom championship.
"Hello, my na is Anthony Rousselet", as soon as his opponent arrived at the coliseum he politely introduced himself.
"Hello, I’m Kayden Heart," his response demonstrated the sa degree of politeness. His opponent had black hair and red eyes matching his light skin tone, and he also carried a black katana without any details.
"You can begin the fight", as soon as the judge gave the order Anthony activated his mantle, he saw the video of Kayden massacring three other mages and knew that this was not an opponent he could play with.
Instantly a blanket of water covered his body and began to float around him, anwhile, Kayden activated his path to maximum, and using the mana from the environnt he cast acceleration on himself.
The first contact between the two was a clash of katanas that resulted in Anthony being slightly pushed back, furthermore, he noticed that his hand started to tingle, but he didn’t pay much attention to it.
Kayden could see the difference between the tops in the coliseum, Anthony should have been on the third level of the first realm and yet he was being pushed back against Kayden.
"You’ve gotten a lot better just moving forward," Anthony comnted as he caught his breath, then his blanket covered his entire body and stopped floating at his side. "I’ll go all out, give a worthy fight."
The next clash of katanas pushed Kayden back slightly, this ti the blanket was not being used for defense and increased Anthony’s overall strength and speed statistics to another level.
Kayden continued exchanging blows with him and realized that he was falling behind, so far it was just small cuts on each side, seeing this he decided to put an end to the tests and go for the real fight.
BOOOM!
Lightning instantly fell on Anthony, who barely managed to dodge it when he felt the variation in mana in the place he was in. Kayden didn’t give his opponent room to breathe and used a side attack with the katana.
Anthony tried to gain space by going backward, but another lightning bolt fell where he was going, forcing him to face Kayden’s attack head-on. Because of the position he was in, he was unable to make a good defense and lost his balance.
His blanket ca off his body instantly and absorbed Kayden’s next attack aid at his neck. The problem was that he lost his speed for a few milliseconds, Kayden used another beam against him and this ti he fell accurately.
Impressively, the blanket received most of the damage and made a hissing noise as it was transford into steam, so of the damage even fell on Anthony and activated all the filants of electricity that were in his wounds.
His movent was stopped and Kayden delivered a strong blow to his side that opened a deep wound in Anthony’s arm, almost instantly the blanket ca back and covered Kayden’s next attack.
BOOOM!
As soon as he walked away another beam struck and removed the blanket again, Kayden was slowly suffocating Anthony, this ti he was not paralyzed, but he still suffered so burns on his body.
In the next few minutes they were in this ga of cat and mouse, while Kayden attacked ferociously using lightning and controlling the pace of the fight, Anthony was trying to get closer and beat Kayden through technique and strength, but unfortunately for him, Kayden was not fighting with honor.
His thunderbolts fell whenever there was a gap, the blanket was undone several tis and remodeled in the sa amount, it didn’t seem like Anthony was lacking in mana while accomplishing this.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOOM! Three rays in sequence fell against Anthony, the first he managed to dodge, the second was absorbed by the blanket, and the third... the judge removed him from the arena before he was seriously injured.
"Kayden is the winner", the judge declared and the two were taken back to the stands, in just a few minutes he beca second place of his year and with extre ease.
"That was a good fight, we’ll fight again when we have the opportunity", Anthony said with a smile, Kayden agreed with the boy and then they exchanged cell phone contacts.
As Kayden returned to the mansion he realized that his physical side was becoming deficient in his strength as a mage, his path focused only on manipulating mana, so he needed to find a way to increase his physical strength.
For example, in this fight, he could have just launched dozens of lightning bolts covering Anthony’s entire chance of escape, which would have ended the fight in just a few seconds, but he couldn’t do that with his body alone. It was ti to get back to good old physical training.
**********
There was only a month left until the final championship of the second year, Kayden was training in isolation, his training at the mont consisted of using increased gravity rooms to strengthen his body.
Kayden realized that in recent years he had focused a lot on just developing his cultivation and spells and left one of his most basic training aside, the boy returned with daily high-intensity exercises.
His connection with his body improved trendously, moreover, his strength increased with each day he spent in training, it seed that all this ti only mana was strengthening his muscles, it was not a strength that belonged to him.
Furthermore, he was also using his "Falling Heavens" spell a few thousand tis a day just to elevate his execution to perfection, using the mana from the environnt he was able to make them rain uninterruptedly for several minutes at a ti.
Today, Kayden was coming to the coliseum to face the first place of his year, it didn’t take long before a teenager appeared to Kayden, she was wearing a tight black outfit that left nothing showing, and her skin was dark and seed to glow its own. .
Her eyes were light brown, the striking thing was that they were very light to the point of appearing shiny, her hair was curled and fell majestically to her waist, she did not carry any weapon.
She carried a gold bracelet that helped her gather mana and improve her spellcasting, but Kayden was unaware of this. Her na was Anabela Canastra.
"Let’s get on with it." There was no friendly greeting or anything like that, the girl seed to be snobbish and saw this challenge as nothing but a waste of ti.
"You can start", as soon as the judge’s order ca out, she gathered dozens of fireballs around her and started throwing them at Kayden, blocking the boy’s entire vision. Kayden activated his acceleration spell and...
SWISH!
Kayden dodged each fireball at high speed, his body combined with his new movent spells left him with a bizarre speed, in just a few seconds he surpassed all the fireballs and closed the distance between him and the girl by several ters.
"What!?" the girl was scared and her combat experience soon made her see that she should take this seriously, a fiery Phoenix appeared on her shoulder raising her control over the elent to a level that no wizard should have.
Again she launched several fireballs, but this ti the quantity doubled and the speed increased considerably, Kayden was unable to dodge them all this ti, but he just had to suppress the ones that ca close to him with his mana.
