Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys Chapter 1558 - 536: Showdown (Part 4)

In battles among the mighty, it's essential to understand that even a single second's delay, or a mere tenth of it, can seal the fate between win and loss.

Thus, getting struck means the result is practically set in stone!

"Not avoiding it?" The onlookers gasped as they observed Rein's choice.

"Isn’t this too arrogant?"

...

"First Level Witchcraft Strong Wind Strike!"

"Second Level Witchcraft Gale Cutting!"

"Third Level Witchcraft Tornado Storm!"

"Fourth Level Witchcraft Hurricane Vortex!"

Dawn Killing Move "Storm’s Fury!"

Before Pantoscoke, a fiercely packed and brilliantly glowing tornado took shape.

Though merely a few meters wide, this vortex held innumerable razor-sharp Wind Blades swirling inside, and without question, any foe struck by it would be ripped apart in an instant!

"Go!" Pantoscoke bellowed in fury!

This Wind Element Dawn Killing Move 'Storm’s Fury' shot forward like a bolt of lightning toward Rein, who was now shrouded in poisonous mist!

From the viewing platform for the powerful figures.

"Hiss~ this... Pantoscoke is obviously furious for real, Crown Reginald, are we truly staying out of it? Your companion, I'm worried..."

"This match appears to have become a real fight!"

"I believe we should hold back, in case Lord Rein has a way to fight back, it might disrupt a fair..." Perkins, who had wagered opposite Reginald, remarked with a wide grin.

The one speaking seemed to relish the spectacle somewhat.

"Eh? Did you catch that? What noise is that?"

The audience strained to listen, detecting a humming vibration coming from within the poisonous haze.

The very next instant, the arena transformed abruptly!

A dark silver metal disc churned through the toxic mist, bursting forth and smashing fiercely against Pantoscoke’s intense tornado!

"Boom!!!"

'Storm’s Fury,' struck by the incoming impact, burst open suddenly!

A massive blast of white air, laced with myriad slicing Wind Blades, surged outward like a tidal wave.

The protective Witch Array laid over the Royal Arena’s floor, walls, and columns shattered section by section, evidently overwhelmed by the sudden surge of power.

The top of the mushroom-shaped cloud rocketed upward for hundreds of meters into the air.

Nearly half the residents of the Imperial City caught the thunderous blast and instinctively glanced toward the Imperial Palace.

"This... is it yet another Evil God avatar coming down to assault the Emperor?"

"Doesn’t feel like it, just one boom this time. Before, the rumbling went on for ages."

"Then what's going on?"

...

Unaware of the truth, the citizens buzzed with heated chatter.

"Roar!!!"

Before the debris fully cleared, a pained dragon's howl and the thud of a massive form crashing down rang out from the chaos.

"This... sounds like Hazas's call."

The elite nobles in the stands traded looks, all holding their breath together, waiting for the haze to lift and reveal the duel’s result.

With the dust finally clearing.

Rein remained rooted in his position, while across from him, Pantoscoke knelt on one knee, his right hand pressing his left flank where a deep gash had nearly severed half his body, and his enormous dragon ally Zalas fared even poorer!

The right wing's flesh was almost wholly severed, with barely half a meter of tissue linking it to the torso, and the dragon's skull was crushed into the earth by Rein’s Mechanical Demon Dragon.

Even with relentless thrashing, it lacked the strength to break free.

At the sight of this, the whole Royal Arena plunged into stunned silence for a heartbeat!
