Chapter 109 - The Living Nightmare

All the participants had taken their places in their own combat ring, the fight was about to begin and Celia felt the adrenaline rushing through her veins.

Liam saw that her smile was widening and he still preferred to remind her : "Cel, remember, level ten mages are no jokes, so strike fast and hard like that he will not try anything against you."

Celia wanted to laugh but she restrained herself, she said to him confident in her own skill : "Liam even though he's a level ten mage, his cumulative points were thirty five points, what do you think a person with such poor mastery over his spiritual energy can do to me, do not worry and enjoy the show, it will be sorted out very quickly."

Liam sighed and let her get ready, that was all Celia, careless, fearless and smart enough to know what to do in whatever situation she will be, he should stop worrying for this girl it was a waste of his energy.

Celia, once Liam was out of the combat ring, focused on her spiritual energy.

She will use it mixed with the lightning element it should be enough for this round, and like that she will still keep some trump cards for the next ones.

The countdown was so loud that everyone could hear it and lot of people in the publics were cheerfully yelling the numbers too.

Celia was ready, five ... she put her spiritual energy in her feet, four ... she put her spiritual energy in her right wrist, three ... she increased the flow of her spiritual energy, two ... she mixed the lightning element in her feet, one ... the lightning element was all over her body but mainly on her feet and right wrist, Fight ... Celia gave a push with her supporting foot and found herself propelled in lightning speed right on her opponent.

When she was a few inches away from him she hit him with all her strength right on his face.

Her opponent didn't even see her arrived, he saw her disappear in front of his eyes when the head instructor said Fight, and after that, he just felt a great pain all over his body and especially on his face.

This girl had just hit him right on his face with the lightning element, his body had been thrown out of the ring and was all numb with the lightning, he fell violently to the ground and passed out from the pain that he had just been through.

Celia was laughing happily and waving to Anaya and the others when she felt a huge pressure on her, before she fell to her knees, Liam was there holding her and suppressing that pressure.

He gave a threatening look to Gildas and said to him : "My girl just won by KO and she also kick out of the combat ring your disciple, it was a fair duel so don't try to do anything to her, you just have to concead the defeat and praise my girl for her combat skill."

Gildas snorted and said to him : "He was the weakest among my disciple, she just got lucky, you should watch out for the next round, it won't be that easy."

Then he went to his disciple who was still unconscious on the ground and gave him a magic pill.

Liam saw him frowned when he saw that his disciple was still unconscious and Liam couldn't help to laugh, he said to him : "You're the one who should be careful for the next round, my girl will kick everyone ass, you just have to watch, the show just began !"

Once the guys from the sun sect left, Celia said to Liam : "Tsk, tsk, tsk, who are this guy so full of himself give me back my Liam i missed him."

Liam hit her behind her head and laughed : "Stop it sweetheart, let me enjoying it, it's been so long since i wanted to see this kind of expression on his face."

They both laughed heartily and Celia said to him : "Okay, okay i won't say anything more, let's watch the other duels ..."

She couldn't finished her sentence because Tal just appeared in front of them and showed them a combat ring, he looked deadly serious, he said to Liam : "You see this guy, he is the one just after Celia on the leaderboard, and we have a problem, it's a thunderbird I'm absolutely certain about it.

He just used a forbidden technique from our clan, The Living Nightmare, it is an illusion that plunges you into your worst nightmare and it can cause permanent trauma to the person who undergoes it."

He took Liam by the arm and said loudly : "You mustn't let them fight each other, if Celia gets caught in this illusion we don't know what will happen."

Celia who had heard everything was a little stunned, Liam looked at her and asked her : "Tal is right, if there is a risk for a permanent trauma then this competition not worth it at all."

Celia sighed and asked them : "When do you guys will trust me, im not a damsel in distress, i m stronger than both of you think, actually only my baby wife had witness my true strength, so Tal how do i do to break the illusion once i got caught in it ?"

Tal felt distress he wanted to trust her and said to her that he knew how strong she were but he was equaly scared that something could happen to her.

Celia had saved Arthur's life not only once but twice, she was the only one be able to remove the seal on the magic beasts and with Anaya they were the only ones who have been able to give a beating to that evil man, the loyal servant to that demon god.

Celia could see that Tal was in a dilemma so she put her hand on his arm and said to him : "Tal, i know you are worried but i won't back off, so you can just help me and trust me okay, if it's only an illusion there must be a way to break it, right ?"

Tal was frustrated so he looked at Liam who nodded to tell him not to be worried and that it would be fine, so he said to Celia : "There are only two ways to get out of The Living Nightmare illusion, either you face your fears and overcome it.

It will be as if you are in an endless loop and you will have to find a solution to get out of it, or for the second way you will have to inflict on yourself such a pain that you will be forced back into reality."

Celia found that quite logical, she asked again : "If he ever manages to trap me in his illusion, my body will be at his mercy, what can I do about it ?"

Liam answered her : "Easy, you will just have to prepare a shield in advance, like that he won't be able to take advantage of the time that you will be into his illusion."

Celia was taken aback : "Prepare a shield in advance ?"
