Strongest Warlock - Wizard World Irregular

"You fought with Nicole in order to stand here today," Lily said in a teasing tone. "But, did you know that she didn't fight to her fullest?"

"I didn't know, and I don't care," Alice replied coldly. "My goal is only to win. Nothing else matters."

"Ah… yes. Always pursuing excellence." Lily smiled. "Is that because you are the daughter of the current Department Head of the Magical Bureau? Your father's position must weigh a lot on your shoulders."

"Shut up and fight."

"Sure if that's what you want."

Lily waited until the misty smokescreen had fully covered the arena before making her move.

Currently, the visibility was nearly zero, and even she was quite impressed that Alice was able to accomplish such a thing.

Suddenly, a faint whistle sounded from behind the cute lady from the Jaeger Manor, making her smile.

A moment later, Alice's icy sword embedded itself in the location where Lily was standing a second ago. However, her target disappeared just before her blade could pierce through her opponent's flesh.

"My~ My~ what a feisty lady," Lily's amused tone was heard within the mist. "Planning to end the battle in one strike. Don't you think you're looking down on me too much?"

Alice, who could see through the white mist she had made, suddenly jumped back as a set of feral claws smashed the ground under her feet.

Lily, who had transformed her arms, and legs, to that of a White Wolf grinned in a feral way as she pounced at her target, giving the silver-haired beauty no time to recover.

Similar to Alice, Lily could see through the white mist due to the transformation she just undertook.

Those at the Jaeger Manor specialized in controlling many Magical Beasts, and some of them could even transform into one if they wished.

Currently, Lily had taken on the abilities of a Blizzard Wolf, who lived at the Northernmost part of Northshire.

There, blizzards were a regular occurrence, and these wolves hunted through the terrible weather, ravaging their helpless prey, who had nowhere to run.

Alice, who had no intention of getting pushed back, activated her trump card and covered her body in icy armor, making her look like an Ice Queen.

Using her wand as a sword, the silver-haired beauty parried and counterattacked Lily's blows, as dozens of Icicle Shards danced around her, protecting her from the blonde girl's ferocious attacks.

This exchange lasted for nearly two minutes before Alice jumped high, using her icicles as footholds.

After gaining enough distance, she unleashed a barrage of ice shards at her opponent, who deftly avoided all of them due to her incredible speed and dexterity.

"Hahaha!" Lily giggled as she tried to close the gap in order to engage Alice in close combat. "This is fun."

Alice, who had no intention of letting Lily get close, used her icicles to go higher, out of her opponent's reach.

"Che~ such a cheap shot," Lily commented as she was forced to evade the icicle barrage that was raining down on her.

Although her expression was currently pouting, deep inside, she was quite amused by the current situation.

'She's good, but not good enough,' Lily thought. 'I didn't feel the same battle frenzy as I did when I watched Ethan fight. This girl is just a strong Witch, but not someone who has the power to make my heart shudder in excitement.'

When Lily witnessed Ethan make a Partial Resonance, her bestial instincts almost made her run away in fright.

That was how powerful the blue-haired boy's magical attack was, and it took all of her willpower to remain where she was standing and watch the battle until it ended.

When Ethan fought Langston today, she felt that same feeling of excitement when Ethan unleashed his Magical Attack, which he called Oberon's Descent.

Lily may not be the smartest when it came to spell casting, but she had a very good memory when it came to things that interested her.

One of those things were the many magical beasts in the world, as well as the rulers who stood above them all.

The Fairy King, Oberon, was one of those figures.

Seeing Ethan unleash his visage made the bestial blood inside her body boil in excitement.

She was someone who longed to fight the strong, and among the candidates in the First Years that she wanted to fight the most was Nicole.

For her, Nicole was like an unsheathed blade.

Lily knew for certain that the moment that blade was released from its scabbard, a deadly dance of death would commence.

As for Ethan, she never thought of him as a potential candidate that she could consider as a rival.

Only after the blue-haired boy unleashed his Partial Resonance did Lily take notice of him.

'Time to make this duel a bit more thrilling,' Lily crouched on all fours and looked at the floating ice princess above her head.

In one swift motion, she leapt up and shot towards Alice like a cannonball.

Alice didn't think much of this act and simply evaded to the side.

Lily harmlessly passed by her, but in that moment, the blonde girl said something that made Alice frown.

"I'll end this battle in five minutes."

Those were the words that reached Alice's ears the moment Lily flew past her.

The silver-haired beauty thought that the cute girl was just playing mind games with her, but a few seconds later, a sound that was similar to the tolling of a bell reached everyone's ears.

Lily didn't just jump toward Alice without a plan in mind.

No, this was part of her plan in order to close the distance with her opponent.

"Caelum Gradibus."

Lily cast a spell, allowing her to gain a foothold in the air, which she kicked off from in order to ricochet back to Alice's location, forcing her to summon an ice shield.

"Sorry, but that's not enough." Lily sneered as she punched the Ice Shield in front of her, shattering it instantly.

"Caelum Gradibus."

Lily cast her spell a Second Time, allowing her to have a foothold, which she used to accelerate forward.

A moment later, a cracking sound spread in the arena as the blonde girl's clawed fist, smashed against Alice's Ice Armor that protected her body, which sent the silver-haired beauty's body flying towards the other side of the arena.
