The air surrounding the arena suddenly shifted; there was a heavy foreboding feeling, a heavy tension that took the audience in a chokehold.

    "You know, I already anticipated that Apollo was strong beyond his peers, but I didn''t expect that....."

    The wave of wind suddenly sounded as if it was howling like a beast announcing its arrival.

    Amidst this clash of monstrous energy, a voice suddenly pierced through.

    "Alright..... let''s end this... I am done with the warm-up after all"

    Hearing those words, the first years were suddenly surprised, seeing they could barely exchange, yet it was all just a warm-up.

    "Incredible.....yet what is even more incredible is how Apollo is keeping up with his brother"

    "He looks pretty calm too"

    "I don''t think he is tired he looks way too relaxed"

    More opinions are heard along with a sudden wave of shockwave that forces the tower mages to set up a barrier to protect those who are watching. Mana and ki surge up, creating deep shades of blue; this makes the already chipping arena tremble.

    "Alicia," Keith called his tone sounding a bit curious.

    "Yes?"

    "I just noticed Apollo seems to be holding back.....wait...I was wrong. He seems to be matching his brother''s level," he realizes as he looks more closely at the current fight.

    On the other hand, Alicia only nodded, giving the answer that solidified Keith''s observation.

    "He is not just holding back he is also copying his brother''s technique, to the degree that even Eros is beginning to notice it"

    Alicia reply.

    Then, with two blurring figures dancing at the broken arena, a sudden cluster of electricity rises. The first years are all too familiar with that spell. Whenever they see such a powerful lightning spell they would immediately thought of Apollo.

    Eros looks at his brother, knowing full well of such a spell. He had gathered some information about Apollo, so he already knew about the spell that made the pirates of the east scared to their wit''s end.

    "I won''t lose," he said to himself, and a spell activated as soon as he thought of it.

    Instant incantation is now in full active, and immediately, three powerful spells combine into one and make their way to Apollo.

    "Hooo..."" Apollo regulated his breathing, seeing three spells perfectly combine to compensate for each other''s weakness.

    Those three high-level spells are Flame Shot (sounds a bit simple but it actually draws enough power to blow up a castle), Shield (an earth spell that adds durability to anything but is very difficult to cast) and Wind Dance (a wind elemental spell that mainly focuses on enhances one''s speed, an added strength of this spell is that it draws more power the more spacious the place is)

    These three spells created a projectile that had enough power to destroy, durability to endure attacks, and speed to catch the opponent off guard.

    It was a good spell that complemented each other to achieve the desired goal of its caster, but unfortunately, the one who will receive is someone like Apollo.

    A single bolt of lightning came crashing, and then it spread out like countless vines. The might of the lightning extinguished the rain of arrows; however, the attack didn''t stop. Eros was keen on continuously attacking, thinking he could create an opening if he flooded more arrows.

    "Battle using attributes that won''t work on Apollo," Arabella said comfortingly, sitting on her chair that the tower mages made.

    "I think it''s ending soon... Apollo seems to be getting bored," Aaron notices, since he can clearly see Apollo''s expression despite the cloud of smoke covering the arena.

    "It will end if Eros doesn''t show anything worth seeing"

    "Wait look!" Alya exclaimed, pointing to the arena.

    Slowly, the dust settled,, and the entire went silent.

    "It went through..." Vesta mutters, seeing three arrows stabbing at the surface of Apollo''s lightning-like body.

    The power of luck went through Apollo''s first layer of defense and hit him.

    "Damn, if it weren''t for the defense created by Thunder Aura, Apollo''s body could have been punctured," Braiden imagined while McKenzie and Niko remained watching.

    Then there was a sudden silence. No one dared to speak as Apollo pulled the arrows sticking to his body like toothpicks.

    "Look, that nut job is smiling crazily." Casper broke the ice, and then a surge of heat struck, followed by a loud thunder.

    A heavy pressure crashed into each other, and the audience looked around at what happened, only to be filled with shock when Eros was seen covered with a concentrated aura; his body was smoking, and his arms were huge shields that blackened like charcoal.

    Apollo, on the other hand, has his body pierced with so many arrows; however, a crazy smile is tugging his lips.

    "Brother, that luck spell you have is extremely interesting," he said as he removed them.

    "I know that look," Eros said as he threw the broken shield he used to block the lightning strike, "The look you have is how mages look whenever they are crazy with something"

    With those words, Apollo smiled, even more electricity dancing across his body.

    "Alright....." He said sounding defeated, "After this, I will give you the formula"

    "!?" Apollo was suddenly weirded by his sudden kindness, not used to how he spoke.

    "Don''t make that face treat it as a reward for making our family name more prosperous. Your reputation for being strong is enough to make me forget how you were back then"

    "What?" For a moment, Apollo felt murderous but immediately held it. He needed to be more controlled.

    White lightning turned into a spear, Apollo held it firmly in his hand while a blue aura clad Eros'' body, preparing to intercept his speedy opponent.

    "Show me more brother"

    "Just come at me, Apollo"

    Both figures disappeared followed by an impact that shocked the barrier surrounding the arena
