The Arkanis Duel Arena quaked under the residual force of the previous clashes. Shattered stone, swirling steam, and sparks of magic floated through the air like storm debris. The students, frozen in their seats, barely dared breathe, their eyes glued to the center where Koha and Sky hovered, facing each other like two forces of nature.
Sky’s bow was drawn taut, a single arrow glowing with an intense, unnatural black light. Freccia dell’Oblio Finale – Final Arrow of Oblivion, he whispered under his breath, the Italian words vibrating like a lethal chant. The arrow’s aura distorted the air around it, black tendrils stretching forward as if reality itself feared the projectile.
Koha’s normally shy eyes glimmered faintly, the calm aura around him masking the storm within. He raised a hand:33Please respect copyright.PENANAB4t71rGa6t
時空制御 (Jikū Seigyo) – Temporal & Spatial Manipulation33Please respect copyright.PENANAjrLQW3IuUF
The space between them rippled, slowing the arrow’s progress almost imperceptibly. Koha’s aura radiated light and shadow simultaneously, combining all elemental mastery he had employed so far into a concentrated, living shield.
Sky’s lips curled into a cold smirk. “Impressive… but not enough.” With a flick of his wrist, the arrow split into three, each fragment now carrying its own deadly elemental charge: fire, lightning, and shadow. Frecce della Distruzione Suprema – Arrows of Supreme Destruction, he muttered, a forbidden spell designed to overwhelm even the most formidable defenses.
Koha’s calm voice cut through the tension:33Please respect copyright.PENANAs7YJQAmvNJ
虚空裂破 (Kokū Reppa) – Void Rending33Please respect copyright.PENANAsVp38WFQCZ
A rift of dark energy erupted beneath him, swallowing the arrows in a collapsing void. The arena shuddered violently as the unleashed force rippled outward, shaking spectators and floating runes alike. Sparks of elemental energy collided in midair, creating a storm of light and shadow that painted the arena in violent hues.
Sky dodged deftly, his bow already nocking another arrow: Lama del Caos Assoluto – Blade of Absolute Chaos, a forbidden surge that warped both space and elemental laws. The arrow streaked forward, twisting reality itself, bending the trajectory around Koha’s defenses.
Koha’s lips parted slightly, the faintest whisper of his shyness slipping through:33Please respect copyright.PENANAdgmW9do9ZR
永劫の裁き (Eikō no Sabaki) – Judgement of Eternity33Please respect copyright.PENANAXfCQyQBWEC
Time seemed to pause briefly around him as a beam of purifying, dimension-tearing energy shot outward, colliding with Sky’s chaotic arrow. The explosion sent waves through the arena, a deafening roar of elemental force. Stone crumbled, fire flickered violently, and lightning arced across the shattered platforms.
The students in the stands were pressed to the edge of their seats, some falling back as the shockwave swept over them. Even the professors leaned forward, murmuring in disbelief. The air shimmered with raw magic, the arena itself becoming a battlefield of ultimate elemental forces.
Sky gritted his teeth, eyes glinting with determination. “Molto bene… let’s end this.” He drew a deep breath, nocking Frecce del Vuoto Infinito – Infinite Void Arrows, each one shimmering with forbidden energy, capable of piercing any known defense. He unleashed the volley, the arrows spiraling toward Koha like a storm of black stars.
Koha’s aura flared brightly, every element converging:33Please respect copyright.PENANAxPuqMUfTe2
無限結界 (Mugen Kekkai) – Infinite Barrier33Please respect copyright.PENANAZSQhSGZaYj
The barrier expanded around him in a perfect sphere, the arrows colliding against it with deafening cracks. Sparks, flames, ice shards, and shadow tendrils burst outward, creating a spectacle of light and darkness intertwined. The arena quaked as the two powers clashed, the very air trembling under the force.
Sky’s smirk faltered slightly—Koha’s defenses were unparalleled. But he was not done. Leaping forward, he channeled the full extent of his ultimate forbidden powers: Lama del Caos Assoluto and Frecce dell’Abisso – Arrows of the Abyss, combining fire, lightning, wind, ice, shadow, and forbidden energy into one overwhelming barrage.
Koha’s voice was calm, even as his aura surged beyond the visible spectrum:33Please respect copyright.PENANARBDORLVGoV
生命裁き (Seimei Sabaki) – Judgment of Life33Please respect copyright.PENANAo6KYmxR4ew
A radiant, purifying energy enveloped him, neutralizing Sky’s forbidden arrows midair. Sparks flew, smoke roiled, and for a moment, the world seemed to hold its breath. The collision created a massive vacuum, ripping through the arena and throwing debris and magical energy into chaotic spirals.
Sky landed lightly, eyes narrowing, impressed despite his own intensity. “You… are truly dangerous. But now…” He stepped forward, lowering his bow slightly, the black glow of his arrow intensifying. Frecce della Fine – Arrows of the End, whispered in a low growl, each arrow humming with a forbidden resonance designed to pierce the ultimate barriers of any mage.
Koha’s breathing remained calm. He raised both hands, energy radiating outward:33Please respect copyright.PENANAnMJmY8M3EK
絶対支配 (Zettai Shihai) – Absolute Dominion33Please respect copyright.PENANAe9312w4tC3
The air itself thickened, reality bending subtly around him. The arrows met the barrier and disintegrated instantly, sparks cascading outward like miniature supernovas. His aura pulsed in perfect harmony with all the elements, creating a deadly, beautiful symphony of power.
For a fleeting moment, the two stared at each other, suspended in mutual recognition. Sky’s hand extended, as if acknowledging Koha’s strength. “Molto bene,” he whispered. Koha, in turn, hesitated, shyly but cautiously extending his hand. Their fingers met in a tense handshake, the calmest moment in the storm.
Then, betrayal struck. Sky’s free hand flicked outward: Lama di Tenebra Finale – Final Blade of Darkness, an arrow of pure forbidden energy aimed directly at Koha. Its deadly trajectory promised immediate devastation.
Before the strike could connect, Yin’s voice rang out:33Please respect copyright.PENANABUaBUWzTRV
Éclipse de Vie – Life Eclipse33Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ5IJfx2Xe
A massive beam of radiant energy shot toward Sky, intercepting the forbidden arrow. The light collided with shadow, detonating in a massive explosion that sent both combatants flying backward. Koha’s body flipped through the air, armor cracking, blood trailing as he landed harshly on the fractured stone platform.
Sky smirked despite the blast, standing amidst the dust and debris, unscathed. Koha coughed, crimson staining his robes, but his eyes held a fierce, unwavering resolve. Yin’s intervention had saved him, but at a cost—an immense magical expenditure left the normally composed student momentarily vulnerable.
The arena was silent, the students staring in stunned awe at the devastation. Smoke, fire, and shattered stone marked the battlefield, a testament to the clash of ultimate and forbidden powers.
Koha’s hand rested against the stone, fingers trembling slightly as he pushed himself upright. His aura flickered, still radiant yet bloodied, showing the cost of the battle. Sky’s eyes never left him, smoldering with an unreadable intensity, the promise of future conflict lingering in the charged air.
Huo’s fists clenched. “He… he’s beyond anything I imagined,” he muttered, voice trembling with awe. Rio’s eyes narrowed, calculating, while Yin breathed heavily, aware of the enormous magical toll the counterattack had taken.
Koha whispered softly to himself, voice barely audible over the settling debris: “I… must get stronger… no matter the cost.” The faint glimmer of his shyness returned as he surveyed the damage, a stark contrast to the overwhelming power he had just unleashed.
Sky lowered his bow, finally stepping back. “This… is only the beginning,” he murmured, his eyes still locked on Koha. The students in the arena understood implicitly: the duel was far from over, and the coming encounters would push both mages to limits that no one yet fully understood.
The floating runes dimmed slightly as the magical storm subsided, leaving the arena scarred, yet still standing. Students slowly rose to their feet, clapping, whispering, and some openly gasping. The sheer intensity of forbidden powers, ultimate mastery, and elemental combat they had just witnessed would be spoken of for generations within the academy.
Koha, breathing heavily, bloodied but unbowed, lowered his hands. His calm, shy demeanor returned, though now tempered with the resolve of one who had touched the edge of death and survived.
Sky watched him silently, bow still ready, a faint smirk of both respect and challenge on his lips. “Next time,” he said softly in Italian, “there will be no mercy.”
The students, professors, and even the air itself seemed to hold its breath, knowing that the next encounter between Koha and Sky would redefine the very limits of magic within the academy.
