Chapter 80 Fiery Griffin
Chapter 80 Fiery Griffin
Many people in the stands recognized the monster and exclaimed in surprise:
"A Flaming Griffin? That's a level two magical beast!"
"How is this possible? How could an apprentice wizard transform into a level two monster?"
The enforcement team members were instantly in an uproar, with several members shouting:
"Five transformations, and she can even transform into a level two magical beast. She's cheating. She's not an apprentice wizard at all."
Miguel was so excited that he tried to rush onto the stage, but Captain Eric held him back.
Captains Eric and Martin wore extremely solemn expressions as they stared intently at the Flaming Griffin on the stage, sensing the fluctuations in its spiritual power.
"No... judging from the fluctuations, she is indeed still an apprentice wizard, but I estimate that her mental strength limit is already approaching that of a formal wizard."
Eric's voice was dry.
"She most likely already had five star points and had drunk from the Fountain of Wisdom, which greatly increased her mental strength limit, so she could barely support this kind of leapfrog change."
On the stage, Li Ang remained remarkably calm despite facing the formidable Flaming Griffin.
A level two magical beast? He's someone who has personally slain stone golems and witnessed the Flying Dragon King.
The griffin's crimson eyes locked onto Li Ang, then it flapped its wings, unleashing a scorching storm of flames.
Li Ang neither dodged nor evaded, and instantly activated the [Water Creation Spell], a large amount of pure magical water gathered in front of him to form a thick, rotating water curtain.
"Sizzle—"
The fiery mist collided violently with the water curtain, steaming up and instantly enveloping half of the platform.
Hiding in the rising steam, Li Ang lightly tapped his wand, and the [Water Binding] spell was activated silently once again. This time, the dense steam around him became the perfect medium for casting the spell, and the water net formed faster than anyone could have imagined.
The fiery griffin was trying to gain altitude to find its opponent when it was suddenly covered by a larger and denser net of water than before.
"Cry—" The griffin let out a painful cry, its flames and water net fiercely clashing, constantly hissing and steaming.
But the more it struggles, the more water vapor it can absorb around the water network, making the network increasingly robust.
Finally, the griffin's magic ran out, the flames around it quickly went out, and its huge body twisted and shrank in the air. Elena, who had returned to human form, seemed to have lost consciousness and was about to fall to the ground.
Is it over? Everyone held their breath.
Just as Elena was about to touch the ground, another unexpected event occurred.
Because she suddenly transformed from a giant fiery griffin into human form, the water net that had been tightly binding him loosened for a moment, and she suddenly escaped from the loosened part of the net.
At the same time, a huge surge of magical power erupted from her body, and her body expanded wildly once again.
A giant ape, over three meters tall with fur shimmering with a metallic sheen, crashed to the ground. It pounded its chest and let out a deafening roar, its ferocity even surpassing that of the previous fiery griffin.
Level 2 magical beast, Armored Giant Ape.
"My God, the sixth transformation, and it's a level two magical beast."
"A monster...is she a monster?"
The stands erupted in a frenzy, filled with gasps, doubts, and shouts that nearly lifted the roof off.
The armored giant ape's scarlet eyes locked onto Li Ang instantly, and it charged forward like a small mountain, its speed completely disproportionate to its size.
Li Ang's pupils contracted, confirming his suspicions. The Flaming Griffin had been defeated too quickly, and Li Ang had felt something was wrong at the time. As he had expected, it was indeed a feigned defeat.
Faced with this overwhelming charge, Li Ang did not back down in the slightest. Four stars in his spiritual world lit up at an unprecedented speed, and surging spiritual power rushed into the magic wand.
The first, extremely refined wind blade tore through the air and struck the giant ape's chest with pinpoint accuracy.
With a clang, sparks flew everywhere.
The wind blade successfully pierced through the shimmering metallic fur, but that was all. The giant ape's momentum only paused slightly before it roared and continued its charge.
Its defensive capabilities far surpass those of the stone golem!
Li Ang remained calm and composed. Almost simultaneously with the release of the first wind blade, the second and third wind blades were launched in quick succession, with virtually no interval between them.
Two cyan-blue wind blades struck again, the second one precisely slashing into the first wound, instantly widening and deepening it.
The third wind blade nearly cleaved half of the giant ape's body in two.
"roar!"
The armored giant ape let out a final, miserable howl, its momentum abruptly halted, and its massive body crashed to its knees, then slammed heavily onto the platform, shaking the entire arena.
Its magic power quickly dissipated, and it reverted to Elena's appearance. She lay there completely unconscious, with a huge wound on her shoulder gushing blood, instantly staining the ground beneath her.
Barton, disregarding everything else, anxiously stepped forward and quickly carried Elena into the Life Recovery Chamber.
Apart from Barton the Wizard, the spectators in the surrounding stands were still immersed in the match.
They all share a common question: Is it possible to use the Wind Blade Technique so quickly in rapid succession?
Of course, it wasn't just the Transformationists who were stunned; the Elementists were just as stunned.
"That... what kind of casting speed is that?"
Below the stage, Captain Martin gasped in disbelief, his face filled with shock.
Even Captain Eric was dumbfounded. He knew he could never have unleashed three powerful Wind Blades in that short span of time.
This Li Ang is even more powerful than I expected... In terms of casting speed alone, he's probably already at the level of a senior wizard...
After Barton had settled Elena and confirmed that she was out of danger, he returned to the stage and announced:
"The winner of this competition is Leon Carlson of Lelita."
The surrounding silence was shattered by the announcement, and a roar like a tsunami erupted from the stands.
At this moment, regardless of faction, all the spectators present were completely captivated by this duel that far surpassed the level of novice wizards.
Li Ang stood in the center of the arena, surrounded by cheers that surged like a tsunami, but he was unusually calm. He felt as if his perspective had been raised above the top of the tower, looking down at everything in the arena.
The sound of Patton announcing the results seemed to come from a great distance, and his face carried a hint of bitterness that was imperceptible to ordinary people.
His gaze swept across the stands, taking in Captain Eric's powerfully clenched fist, Elisa's excited smile, and Miguel and Remus's relieved high-five.
He also saw an elderly man in a purple robe, who had been quietly watching the game, slowly get up and walk towards him from the highest point of the stands.
As he entered the arena, the cheers around him gradually subsided, and Li Ang was able to withdraw from that mystical feeling.
