Chapter 1867: Holding Out?

*Boom!~*

A loud explosion rocked the battle stage, encasing the surroundings in mist as ice and fire met.

One team possessed the power of ice and fire, one defensive and strong and the other for blazing support. On the other hand, the other team possessed two fires, the flames of the Burning Phoenix, both of them concentrating on offensive prowess.

Both parties stayed away from each other.

“Tanya, is the plan still viable?”

Dalila Leehan looked at the snow-white robed woman beside her.

“Yes, we hold the advantage in terms of our domain size. As long as we could hold out for nine and a half more minutes, we should be able to win.”

Tanya Frostblight’s melodious voice echoed in Dalila Leehan’s soul sea, causing her to nod.

Only Esvele and Tanya Frostblight had five-kilometer domains, but she and Verona Stein had four and a half kilometer domain and four-kilometer domain respectively, meaning that they had the advantage to drag this out, causing the opponent team to fight amongst themselves in the last minute to make sure that at least one of them survived.

“Or, we can try to get into their range and attack them, although I muse we would be at a disadvantage by then…”

“I apologize. My flames don’t have a powerful offensive prowess, although they are made to be enduring and blazing because of my alchemy profession, so they rather have a powerful defense and can support as I have better control over my flames.”

Dalila Leehan pursed her lips and looked sorry, but Tanya Frostblight shook her head.

“I know. That’s why I chose for us to be on the defensive.”

“But… are we fine with that?”

They both turned to look at each other, clenching their fists before they looked towards the front again.

“It’s not. I’m going to prove that I’m strong.”

“Me too~”

Both Tanya Frostblight and Dalila Leehan’s gaze shone with determination, their pupils lightning up with fire. However, it turned out that it was the reflection of crimson flames blasting towards them.

“Encompassing Dual Phoenix Wings!”

Four burning wings appeared from two sides as they threatened to encompass and burn them to ashes. However, numerous wisps of flames lit up around them, lighting themselves upon making contact with the incoming burning phoenix wings as it set them on fire.

“Echoheart Flame Control!”

Dalila Leehan controlled the massive wisps of flames to destroy the incoming attacks. However, the damage caused was not enough.

“Grazing Ice Shards!~*

But simultaneously, Tanya Frostblight raised her palms when she hurled hundreds of icy objects at them.

*Whizz!~*

She launched a plethora of sharp and thick icy shards that struck the flaming wings and caused them to be destroyed into a mist that spread like a storm, further lowering their visibility.

The fog became a hindrance but not to Tanya Frostblight, who was experienced in this kind of situation.

‘Nethersnow Mirage Steps…’

She took a step to the side and disappeared while Dalila Leehan noticed her partner disappearing. She did not panic but stabilized her breathing and summoned more wisps of flames to surround her as she closed her eyes. Using the heart as the source and the surroundings as the furnace to feel her surroundings, her eyes suddenly shot wide open as she punched out with her fist.

‘There…!’

Instantly, the wisps of flames surrounding her shot towards the direction she punched, disappearing through the misty area.

Esvele and Verona Stein, who steadily and slowly flew in the mist, as elegantly as a phoenix, suddenly noticed fiery wisps hurled at them. Their eyes went wide in shock as they had kept their energies hidden to hide and attack their opponents from a better angle, but it seemed like they were found out.

“Change of plans. All-out attack!”

“I agree!”

Their figures became shrouded in flames as they launched themselves from the directions the wisps of flames emerged from. Their slim figures became winged before they seared through the wisps of flames easily.

However, what awaited them was a ring of flames abruptly encompassing them into a fire barrier.

Dalila Leehan saw that they were trapped in her fire ring and forcefully clasped her fists.

“Implode!”

The fires surrounding Esvele and Verona Stein directly closed upon them and imploded. The violent release of flame energy should’ve directly turned them into ashes. However, their two figures shot out of the implosion, seemingly unharmed. But, the people could see flaming vines surrounding them in a sphere of defense before Verona Stein retracted it.

Dalila Leehan waved her hands, and layers and layers of large flaming wisps kept stacking in front of her, reaching towards them. Esvele had her arms extended like she was imitating the movements of the burning phoenix while Verona Stein moved her fingers, manipulating the fiery vines of her domain to target the wisps of contamination left by Dalila Leehan.

*Whiz!~* *Whiz!~*

The numerous wisps were snuffed out like they were stranded flames. It was easy, but Verona Stein didn’t relax and watched out for the remaining person who was nowhere to be seen. But on the other hand…

“Everburning Dance of the Burning Phoenix!~”

Esvele’s breathing was steady. A low hum escaped from her mouth as she unleashed the tumultuous fiery wave of essence energy gathered in her ten fingers against Dalila Leehan!

Dalila Leehan’s scalp turned numb as she saw the incoming attack. She mused that it contained at least more than twenty percent of Esvele’s energy and quickly summoned her own fiery might to defend.

“Subduing Cauldron Implosion!~”

The wisps of flames surrounding her body swirled as they formed the image of a cauldron. The attack that Esvele launched pierced through the air towards Dalila Leehan in the grand image of the Burning Phoenix. It appeared so powerful that it could kill her if she was left unguarded.

However, the moment it rushed past the fiery image of the cauldron, it was suddenly stopped as though it was restricted, the energy unleashed by Esvele becoming trapped in it.

Esvele’s brows raised, but she wasn’t that astonished as she twisted her palm and pushed against Dalila Leehan!

*Puchi!~*

The fiery image of the Burning Phoenix pierced through the cauldron and zoomed at Dalila Leehan. The latter’s eyes were shocked that the burning phoenix didn’t explode upon impact. How much terrifying control did that require over that technique!?

Just when she thought it was over, an icy blue light flashed as layers of ice walls formed in front of her.

*Boom!~*

Both attacks clashed and turned the entire area misty again, which had the crowd on the edge of their seats, making them wonder what was going on!

Esvele saw that her attack was probably defended by Tanya Frostblight and turned to look at Verona Stein. However, there was an icy mirror by her side, and Tanya Frostblight extended out of with a sword in her hands as though she was a ghostly pale mirage, clad in an icy Supreme Domain that contained the terrifyingly sharp intent of Sword Laws superimposed over her Perfect Domain!

“Icy Rend Swordplay!~”

A sword sliced across space and struck against Verona Stein.

The latter noticed it, and despite using the numerous vines to form an instantaneous fiery vine garden around her, the icy air of the blade cleaved the vines and headed inside. Air visibly froze into ice in the blade’s path, and blood splashed out, staining the frozen ice causing Esvele’s heart to skip a beat.

“Verona!”
