Chapter 167 - End Of The Battle

The moment they detected his taunting their green eyes turned red and their white skin began to shine again. Sen gulped and reconsidered whether his idea of taunting was a good move or a bad.

All the eighty-one snakes started to stick out their tongues and make a hissing sound out of it. Seeing that many tongues pointing towards him Sen got a tingling sensation throughout his body.

Again he was forced to consider whether it was a good idea or not, to taunt the snakes and set his trap on them. But after calming down and thinking about the probability of his winning, he decided to initiate it and make his plan into a reality.

Grand Elder and Aditya were the only ones who had a hunch what he was planning, but they didn't comment on anything and waited to see if he could pull out his stunt or not.

The group of snakes after hissing for the last time plunged towards Sen from all the sides blocking his every route for escaping.

A light flickered in Sen's eyes, and he waved his left-hand sword to fend off the first wave of the attack. The energy snakes were cut into two and their heads rolled on the ground.

Even though he diluted the impact of the first wave, it was not completely dissolved yet. Another group of energy snakes were plunging towards him with a loud hissing sound and mouth opened.

Sen was sure he wouldn't be able to make a second attack, so he dodged the rest of the impact by jumping towards the sky.

Some snakes went out of the arena, breaking the walls while the remaining managed to control their speed in time and turned upwards to bite off Sen's leg and drag him down.

Sen saw them coming and turned his directions in the middle of the air. At first, it seemed like he was literally walking in the sky. But on a closer look, Anisa found out he was using a protective barrier as a foothold to walk in the air.

Anisa smug at his kid's escape idea and thought of a new idea. Since he was already dancing in the air, she planned to take him down by hunting him down like a bird.

She summoned the rest of the energy snakes and pointed her hand towards the sky, where Sen was about to create his next barrier as a foothold.

Cruch!!

Sen's next foothold broke mid-air. Sen swiped the sweat droplets forming on his forehead and made a stealthy gesture to make another foothold barrier behind him,

Cruch!!

This one too broke mi air and another of his escape route got blocked. One snake on his front and another on his rear. He again swallowed the mass forming in his mouth and looked towards the ground.

The barrier below his feet was slowly dissipating. It was only a matter of time before he fell down and the group of snakes strangled him to death.

Once again Sen looked here and there, and a smirk appeared on his eyes. Grand Elder and Aditya became sure what he was planning and facepalmed upon finding out his plan.

Sen checked his surroundings and snapped his finger again. Anisa was cautious as she had no idea what he was planning and summoned some snakes before her to act as protection for her.

Zwap! Zwap!! Zwap!!!

Hundreds of spell circles were created in the sky. Anisa understood what he was planning and summoned another ten energy snaked before her to protect her from the elemental lances.

Judging from the color of the circles, some were fire elemental while the others were thunder. Everyone gasped in shock and looked towards Sen with astonishment.

Creating a magic circle to fire one or two lances was not a big deal to begin with. And with the amount of training Sen had done in the last two years he could have easily made a magic circle in an instant that could have fired up to five or six lances.

What surprised them the most was the extra layer of runes around the magic circles. According to the laws of magic of the sage world whenever a magic circle is created a number of runes formed around it. In the beginning, people used to think it was just a design and some magical pattern around a circle. But later with the development of research magic, they found out it was not just a design but a short text that defines the work of a particular magic circle.

Anisa, Aditya, Grand Elder, rest of the family members and servants recognized the runes at once and found out that each circle had the capacity of firing up to a hundred lances.

To create such a magic circle, one was needed to merge three types of magic circles into one and make a new circle. First, one has to create a normal lance firing elemental circle. Second, they have to add an energy-absorbing circle that will absorb energy from the surrounding. Third, they have to add a magic circle that will increase the output up to a hundred times.

And creating such a circle needs one to two minutes. But judging from the time and situation, Sen had created hundreds of such circles in a duration of ten to eleven minutes.

One more thing that Grand Elder noticed later was the circle was not three-layered but rather a four-layered one. Sen had added a fourth circle to make it invisible from Anisa's eyes and charge it till the destined time.

Sen, jumped high up high further towards the sky, looked towards the arena from mid air. And shouted out the spell to invoke the circles.

"Two hundred elemental circles of the

Two Elementals. Heed my order and rain

down on my enemies and purge out their existence"

The magic circles began to spin rapidly and rained down hundreds of lances from each circle. Just within a minute the arena was filled with holes and craters.

Not a single thing was visible due to the smoke in the arena. Time passed, and the smoke dissipated.

The scene became visible. And as expected, Sen was not the winner yet.

All the snakes were stabbed by those javelins, and the arena too was filled with holes. But Anisa was perfectly feet and fine, not a single scratch was there on her body.

Aditya and Grand Elder sighed out and thought the victor was determined now. Eventually, Sen will run out of his energy and Anisa will be the victor of the match.

But here was the catch, the smoke dissipated, the scene was clear. Anisa was perfectly fit and fine, but Sen was nowhere to be found.

Last time they saw him jumping in the sky, but once the javelin rain started everyone took their attention off him and focused it on the arena, towards Anisa.

Anisa heightened her senses and looked around to find any movement or any disturbance to pin down Sen's location. But was unable to find anything.

All she could find around were the elemental javelins and the dead body of her summoned energy snakes.

While she was looking at somewhere else Hiss!!

Came a sound and one of the dead snakes attacked Anisa. She saw the incoming attack and waved her sword with a full swing to cut it into two.

The moment her sword pointed towards the sky Zwap!!

Sen appeared out of nowhere and pointed both his swords towards his mom's throat.

Anisa "Check,"

Sen "Mate!!"

Anisa dropped her sword and admitted defeat from Sen for the first time.

Sen too dropped his sword and fell down on the ground. He was completely drained from that fierce battle and using only his sheer will to stand in the arena.

Grand Elder intervened between them by clapping and commending his win over her mother. Sen closed his eyes and nodded head to appreciate his commendation and stood up again to pack up his swords.

Aditya too climbed onto the arena and gave Anisa a helping hand to stand up and asked her how was their kiddo's results.

Anisa smiled and said only one thing, "S rank."

Listening to the ranking a smile appeared on Sen's face and he hugged Anisa with excitement.

Since she used to work in the army, she always ranks soldiers from F to SSS.

And this time Sen was ranked S, which was a pretty decent result for a twelve-year-old kid.

Now that the match was over and the evaluation too, everyone was waiting for the moment for Sen to reveal his trick.

Even Grand Elder couldn't figure out what was the trick behind it and how did he appear before Anisa all of a sudden.

One guess was that Sen secretly used his illusion reality magic to make it possible. But the detectors placed there hadn't captured any signals of doing so.

So that means the first and the last guess was invalid, and Sen used something else to pull out that stunt.
