"Asshole, don't underestimate me!"
She let out a furious scream!
She hurled the fireball, the [Ring of Black Flame], which contained the power of curse and destruction!
The fireball streaked through the air in a dark arc, whistling as it tore through the air, like a falling meteorite, hurtling towards Nami and Saeko Busujima who were "handing over their work" below!
She used all her strength in this attack! She wanted to burn these two arrogant women, along with their ridiculous pride, to ashes!
Faced with this devastating attack, Saeko Busujima didn't even turn her head.
She trusted her companions.
Nami simply raised her head, looked at the rapidly enlarging black fireball, and gave a knowing smile.
"Well done!"
She slammed the magic wand she was carrying on her shoulder onto the ground!
"Let's see what the power of a pay-to-win player really is!"
Rumble!
A muffled clap of thunder suddenly echoed in the sky without warning!
A golden bolt of lightning, even thicker than Nanri Xiang's electromagnetic cannon, tore through the sky like a divine spear of punishment, descending from the heavens!
Lightning and black fireballs clashed fiercely in mid-air!
【boom--! ! ! 】
The deafening explosions swept across the entire battlefield!
Black flames and golden lightning intertwined, collided, and annihilated each other wildly! The dissipated energy transformed into visible shockwaves that spread in all directions.
The violent turbulent magical currents were so strong that it was impossible to open one's eyes.
The windows of the teaching building were shattered, and the ground was torn open with jagged cracks. Debris and dust were hurled into the air, making the entire environment worse.
The smoke cleared.
Nami remained standing in the same spot, her hair perfectly styled.
A semi-transparent barrier made of pure lightning elements slowly dissipated in front of her.
She looked up at Sofia Aini on the rooftop, whose face was filled with astonishment and disbelief, and gave her an incredibly bright smile.
"Sorry, this road is closed."
Nami's voice wasn't loud, but it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
"Also, a friendly reminder to this Miss Sofia Aini."
She held up a finger and shook it gently.
"I know a little bit about all kinds of elemental magic, so don't say I didn't warn you."
Her smile grew increasingly malicious, like that of a ruthless businessman about to reap the rewards, her eyes gleaming with a thirst for wealth.
"so……"
"Keep the Phoenix Tear on your neck safe."
"That's my spoils of war!"
Sofia Aini's chest heaved violently, her beautiful face contorted with rage.
"Don't be so arrogant, you human brat!"
She screamed and shoved her arms forward with a thud!
The fire magic belonging to the Phoenix family behind her erupted in an unprecedented manner!
The crimson flames were no longer simple pillars or fireballs, but rapidly condensed and transformed in the air, turning into hundreds and thousands of burning birds!
Each firebird was incredibly lifelike, flapping its fiery wings and emitting sharp cries, converging into an unstoppable torrent that blotted out the sky and enveloped Nami!
This is the magnificent combat skill of the [Flame Marquis], [Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix]!
Despite the catastrophic scene, Nami showed no sign of tension.
She simply tapped her magic wand lightly in front of her.
"Ice wall!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the blue magic circle on the ground flashed and disappeared!
Rumble!
A massive, incredibly thick ice wall rose abruptly from the ground!
The ice wall was crystal clear and exuded a bone-chilling cold. Its height and thickness far exceeded the scope of conventional magic, making it seem more like an iceberg that appeared out of thin air!
Countless fiery birds crashed into the ice wall one after another!
[Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!]
The dense explosions rang out in unison, and the scorching flames clashed fiercely with the frigid ice, sending up plumes of white steam that transformed the entire battlefield into a misty, foggy land.
However, the ice wall remained unmoved.
Sofia Aini's flames, powerful enough to melt steel, couldn't even manage to carve a decent gap in this ice wall.
"ice?"
Sofia's pupils contracted; she couldn't accept this fact.
The Phoenix family's flames are noble, inextinguishable flames with regenerative power! How could they possibly be stopped by mere human ice magic!
"My flames reside upon your ice!"
She let out a furious roar of defiance, pouring more magic into the flames in an attempt to forcefully melt the ice wall that humiliated her.
Through the hazy steam, Nami listened to the other person's furious declaration, a playful smile curling at the corner of her lips.
"We'll have to wait and see!"
Instead of reinforcing the ice wall's defenses, she calmly picked up her staff and began to assess Sophia's attack on the spot.
"Tsk tsk tsk, [Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix], is that it? This move consumes at least ten percent of your total magic power, right?"
Nami's voice pierced through the steam and reached Sofia's ears clearly.
"Using only 10% of your magic power to unleash an attack that deals zero damage? Sister, you're making a terrible deal."
"you……!"
Sofia was trembling with rage. This wasn't a fight; it was humiliating her in the way she could least tolerate!
"What do you know! This is the glory of the Phoenix family! It's a nobility that a lowly person like you, who only knows how to measure everything with dirty money, will never understand!"
"Honor? Nobility?"
Nami felt like she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Can that stuff be exchanged for Berries? Can it be used to buy jewels? If not, then it's worthless."
She stretched out her finger and gently flicked the ice wall.
"In your eyes, this is a flame of glory. In my eyes, it is just a waste of money."
“And my ice wall,” Nami chuckled, “is called cost control.”
"Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!"
Sofia was completely enraged. She abandoned controlling the firebird and instead gathered all the flames, condensing them in her palm into a crimson fireball with extremely high density and even more terrifying temperature.
This time, the flames were no longer simply crimson; at their core, a golden hue, representing an even higher energy level, shone through!
"go to hell!"
She slammed the fireball, which contained all her anger and glory, against the ice wall!
【boom--! ! ! 】
The golden flames finally revealed their true power; the thick ice wall was violently melted through with a large hole the moment it came into contact with the fireball!
The blazing fireball, its momentum undiminished, pierced through the steam and headed straight for Nami behind him!
"This is so true."
Instead of retreating, Nami advanced, and facing the deadly fireball, she gently waved her magic wand.
【Water Whip】!
A long whip made of high-pressure water appeared out of thin air and precisely wrapped around the golden fireball.
[Sizzle—!]
The collision of water and fire caused a massive amount of water vapor to evaporate once again.
The water whip was being consumed rapidly, but it also effectively reduced the speed and temperature of the fireball.
"The same trick won't work!" Sofia roared.
However, Nami had no intention of using this move to block the attack.
Just as the water whip was about to be completely evaporated, she snapped her fingers.
"Weather forecast for day 323, starting now."
"In some areas, there will be severe convective weather, accompanied by thunderstorms."
【Wind King Barrier】!
[Lightning Retribution!]
The wind suddenly rises!
A visible tornado instantly formed in front of Nami, spinning at an incredible speed, its powerful suction force pulling the weakened fireball into it!
Immediately afterwards, golden lightning exploded inside the tornado!
The fireball, caught in the wind, along with the rising water vapor, was instantly torn to shreds by the lightning and gale, turning into the purest magical particles that dissipated into the air.
The whole process was smooth and seamless.
Sofia stared blankly at the scene, her mind completely blank.
