Supremacy Games

The next morning...

Felix and Selphie could be seen standing in opposite areas on a circular white spacious arena...While Selphie had an easy-going chirpy smile, Felix looked like he was going into war for the first time.

"Three, two, one...Fight."

The instant Queen Ai kicked off the battle, Felix's antlers shimmered brilliantly before a golden hex appeared in the center.

When the hex was completed, countless hardened sand arrows emerged from the hex before getting launched rapidly towards Selphie!

Whoosh whoosh...!

"Leaves Barrier." Selphie waved her wand a bit, causing a green hex to manifest almost instantaneously. It was followed by a spherical barrier made out of toughened leaves.

The barrier was created so fast, the arrows had barely crossed half their distance!

'As expected, she has an even faster casting speed with lesser spells.' Felix thought with a stern expression as he watched his sand arrows break into sand particles after landing on her barrier.

"Let's see how you perform under pressure." Selphie smiled charmingly as she tapped her barrier with her wand.

The instant she did so, the barrier broke into thousands of sharp leaves that were hurled in direction of Felix!

'Shit, I can't evade them in time with my limitations!' Knowing that dodging wasn't an option against this shower of sharp leaves, Felix was forced to go on defense.

"Sand Wall!" He called out loud as he eyed the approaching leaves.

Unfortunately, the nearer they got, the more his instincts screamed at him to move out of the way. This had caused his focus to be split in half.

When it came to runes, this was a grave mistake...

'God damn it!'

Felix could only curse in irritation as he guarded his face against the leaves' rain...As for the sand wall? He completely gave up on it as he knew that by the time the hex come online, he would already be a walking hedgehog.

"Are you alright?" Selphie asked from a distance as she eyed Felix, who was bleeding from everywhere.

"Still breathing." Felix spat a bloodied mouthful of saliva and started pulling out the sharp leaves from his body. Alas, he had no idea that Selphie wasn't done yet.

"I am sorry for this." Selphie covered her eyes and waved her wand one more time.

'Well, just f*cking gre...'
