I regressed and became the Sword Ice King-Chapter 322 - - Festival 53- Monster Hunt 12

With a solid thug, the Dragon's head was pulled to the side of the Volcano, a guttural growl escaping its maw as it pulled its head back in protest.

The strength within the petite body of Sophie was absurd, and perhaps unreasonable for most who watched the fight unfold.

It made them more curious about the girl than the boy, who was expected to showcase a bit of the prowess he did at the moment.

Nonetheless, the scene was observed as breathtaking, their conversations caught short with each passing moment.

From their quick and synchronized fighting to their remarkable strength in handling the Dragon and its abilities. It left an impression on the students and Visitors alike.

A loud thud occurred, rock and stones breaking apart from the collision of the Dragon's head to the side of the Volcano, its enraged crimson gaze locked on Sophie as she pulled back her scythe.

A smirk was plastered on her face, growing from the corners into a tight grin.

"You can do better than that, surely."

It arose, its sturdy figure basking in the growing steamy hotness of the Lava as it erupted out of tiny holes formed on the sides of the Volcano.

A thick groan reverberated in the air, the Dragon's throat trembling from the sensation of its own voice as a blast of flames shot out from its maw in the next second.

Sophie rushed out of the way, lunging into the air as the blast of hot flames slammed against the Volcano, melting the hardened surface and causing more lava to spill out.

Its throat vibrated, a low coo exuding from its maw as it traced her movement, blasting flames in a concentric line.

While it did so, Sophie continued to dodge the incoming blasts, Dark mana continuously enveloping around her body like an Armour.

She spun around, jumping from Boulder to Boulder while the Dragon traced her steps until she had reached the other end of the Volcano where Raph stood awaiting her presence.

She smiled when his image caught her attention from the corner of her vision before she lunged past him, jumping over his head.

The Dragon's fire breath had traced even that, rushing towards Raph like a fountain of hot doom.

He stood firm, his hands grasped on his sword as he stabbed it into the air, a blast of wind and ice erupting out from the tip and colliding against the Dragon's breath.

"Everything is Ice."

Ice crept from his skin to the surface of the Volcano, quickly spreading like cancer and freezing the spilling lava that erupted from the melted walls of the Volcano.

A cold blast of ice, snow and wind exploded out of the tip of his sword, slamming against the Dragon's breath in a tight rope.

The Dragon gradually walked forward, its heavy steps covering distances apart, and its fiery breath unceasing in size and mass.

The heat evaporated the ice, melted water and lava mixing together as it slid down the Volcano.

Each step pushed Raoh backwards, his blast of ice slowly getting overtaken by the Dragon's breath.

That was when Sophie appeared at his side, her Spiked Mace pointed forward as a surge of dark mana formed at the tip.

It reverberated with the air, spinning into a dark ball of mass, imploding within itself before exploding out in a blast of fury.

'7th Arcanus Spell, Voodoo Bomb.'

It blasted against the incoming flames, mixing with the blast of ice and increasing in mass, equal to the blast of flames.

Raph glanced at her, a small smile forming on his face as he stepped forward, his brows furrowing deeply.

The surge of ice increased and so did the blast, striking against the Dragon's blast of flames.

Flames vs Ice and Dark Magic, this was what was occurring, unknowingly to Raph but knowingly to Sophie.

Dark Magic had been since cast off the rules of Magic as it was ancient and uncontrollable, but the Arcanus was a household of Dark Magic and the Occult.

Control was their middle name when it came to Dark Magic.

'Still, I can't reveal more than I have already, the rest will be up to our prowess.'

She thought as she took a step forward together with Raph.

The attacks seemed to cancel each other on collision, liquids of ice and lava emitting to the ground from the centre while Dark mist emitted from the collision.

This occurred for a few moments, until the Dragon suddenly swung its wings open, a powerful wave of wind striking out from the force. It startled the duo backwards, offsetting their abilities and reducing the output by a bit much.

It suddenly flapped its wings, pushing itself into the air and then slammed back to the Volcano, an explosion of wind and energy occurring in the shape of a wave.

It slammed against the duo, blasting them off the Volcano while the ice shattered away from the strength of the Dragon.

The pieces of the walls of the Volcano were startled further by the Dragon's force, causing the structure to capsize, fallen rocks smashing into the pool of lava while the contents spilled out like a fountain.

Hot lava poured into the pool, bathing the Dragon's skin in a hot bath.

Its gaze, crimson and enraged, was fixated on the two figures who were thrown into the air.

Raph groaned slightly, his gaze drifting to the ground, only to find a pool of lava waiting for his fall.

He breathed in and then out, a surge of energy exploding out of his body as he flung his sword into the ground.

"Everything is Ice! Glacier Spire!"

The lava quaked as a heap of ice froze over its surface, long pillars of red crystals of ice Protruding into the clouds as they both smashed into the frozen pool.

Broken ice and steam emitted from their collision, blue energy clouding their vision and the vision of those who watched them.

Far in the distance, Darrell stood worried, his steps an inch close to rushing into the battlefield.

"Where are those damn Authorities, Damn it! This is getting too risky!"

Javier stood behind, his arms folded, a quiet glance at those around him and the scene unfolding.

'This is good. This is good for us. I do not know what beef Raph has with the Control Room Head, but I am sure glad he does.'

Cricken was a lot more concerned for different reasons, his thoughts reeled in, though he could barely create any conversation with himself.

The fight in and out of itself was unimaginable, and the two involved were strong enough to get bounties on their heads.

'This doesn't make sense. He's fifteen! He's fifteen and he's doing well against a Legendary Beast! A legendary!'

He cried out in his head, his expression indifferent as compared to the chaos within.

Rizzo and Dina were more excited than scared. Indeed, the battle was a difficult one, but the scenery and how they fought was one to both learn and gain excitement from.

"Hah! There they are!" Darrell cried out when the blue energy subsided revealing the two figures who had been hidden a moment ago.

It seemed like both were fine, though their Armour was dented, fatigue was slowly creeping up in their actions and most especially, they were running out of energy.

Darrell frowned. 'This is the first time I've ever seen him run out. He's a 9th star, and they have energy worth of the first to the eighth, meaning he can continuously produce Aura for at least 120 hours without rest.'

But how they made use of their energy determined how much could be expended.

Attacks after attacks, especially the heavy ones, took a cup full of energy and perhaps a bowl if more power was expended.

'What is he planning on doing now?' Darrell wondered as they watched in silence, anticipating either the end of the fight or a stop in it.

Just as Darrell had presumed, Raph was, in fact, running out of energy, and so was Sophie.

Both were currently having a staring contest with the Dragon, not a single motion escaping from either of them.

They stood on the hardened floor, broken ice and frozen lava by their sides threatening to spill out, yet froze the moment it did.

"What now? Its skin is thick and wide attacks won't work on it."

Sophie said.

"Yeah, I was thinking of changing targets…"

His gaze shifted from the Dragon to its feet, a small smile growing from the corner of his lips.

"Let's go for its legs."

Sophie nodded, a sudden outburst of Dark mana exuding from her body.

"Are you ready? You're Aura doesn't seem to be keeping up."

Raph chuckled. "I noticed."

Within him, all magic circles began to twirl, spinning with power causing his Aura stars to start vibrating with the same frequency.

Mana surged out from the circles and was quickly absorbed by the stars, increasing its force of vibration by twofold.

Energy crawled through his body, exploding out in a gust of Aura, enveloping his armour and sword.

Sophie's gaze widened in surprise, and so did many others who saw this phenomenon occur.

It seemed a few people like Darrell had forgotten, an ability that aided him in times like this, granting him four-fold to fivefold the power when in troubled times.

With a step forward and a cold breath exuding from his lips, he muttered.

"Resonance."
