Chapter 354 - Wind Vs Healer
As Olgar was starting to chant, Natasha also started chanting her own Arch Mage spell.
"O' Nature and Light, bring forth the new era, a new generation, heal the sickness and death, take and plunder this life, Timeless Degeneration!"
A bright white-green light covered Natasha and wrapped around her body. She pointed the tip of her staff to Olgar and a burst of green ray shot to his body.
Meanwhile, Olgar finished his Arch Mage spell the same time as her and a huge horizontal column of swirling wind shot towards Natasha. It pulled in the surrounding air all around them and generated strong winds similar to a hurricane/typhoon/cyclone.
As they both just finished their Arch Mage spells, they experienced a dip in mana that resulted in them being unable to dodge the Arch Mage spells coming their way. Olgar enlarged his golden plate and covered his whole body and Natasha embraced her own body and healed her own wounds.
The two of them took the full brunt of the Arch Mage spells. Olgar's golden plate eroded and turned to dust, and he wasn't able to save himself from the green ray of light.
As for Natasha, countless cuts appeared on her body before instantly healing and disappearing before new ones appear again. Even though she was able to heal herself, her blood turned to mist every time she bled.
"AHHHHH!!
"AIEEEAAAAHH!!"
The two of them shouted in pain.
Olgar felt his whole body tear apart. Her magic spell reversed all the healing that his body did in the past and opened up countless wounds on his body.
It reached the point that Olgar turned to a red and bloody creature. The only thing that wasn't bleeding that much was his face as he managed to keep it from getting wounded in the past.
"Sh*t!" Olgar cursed and a glass flask appeared in his hand.
It was filled with green liquid, and he drank it down his throat in one gulp. The potion he was drinking slowed down the rate he was getting teared apart, but it was still unbelievably painful.
A few minutes later, their Arch Mage spell slowly died down. Natasha was fully naked. Her beautiful white skin could be seen from miles away.
"..."
Lawrend stared at her awestruck. She wasn't wounded whatsoever, and it was a stark contrast to Olgar, who was bleeding profusely.
"Did I win..?" Natasha asked in a weak voice.
She was feebly standing in the air, and she could fall any moment now. Continuously using her healing magic for several minutes while getting cut all over her body was very taxing on her.
Olgar gritted his teeth and endured the pain. The endless pain he was feeling made him awake and energized contrary to Natasha.
"That was the first time I was able to cast that magic spell, and it exceeded my expectations. The Mage Guild of the capital is really something," Olgar muttered.
"..."
Natasha stared Olgar with furrowed eyebrows. She wasn't sure if she could take another attack from him. Seeing his calm demeanor, made her feel uneasy.
"Boomerang Winds!" Olgar shouted.
Unlike before, he couldn't cast his magic spell without saying the name of the spell. He needed to do it as it was very hard to focus at his current state.
Two blades of wind shot out in front of Olgar and curved away from Natasha before curving back to her in an arc.
Natasha widened her eyes and cut off her flight. She suddenly fell down from the sky and easily avoided the two blades of wind before stopping and hovering in the air once again.
But just as she was about to relax, she didn't feel the two blades of wind to dissipate behind her. She still heard the sound of it, and she turned around instinctively.
It was too late. The two blades of wind had already curved and was about to hit her body.
Natasha raised her arms and covered her face.
*Pwish*
The two blades of wind hit her right wrist as the same spot before scattering into nothing.
Natasha opened her eyes and saw a stream of blood and a slender right hand falling down from the sky.
"M-My hand!!!!" Natasha shouted in horror.
She stared at her falling hand in horror and at her bleeding wrist. It was spouting out a fountain of blood.
Lawrend and the others who were watching their fight couldn't help but flinch when they saw the horror on her face.
Aleshia stood behind Ella and covered her eyes with her hand. And Ella didn't resist as she was frozen in shock.
That was the first time Ella ever saw someone lose their hand in such a horrifying manner.
"I win, right?" Olgar asked and smiled.
He looked like a blood demon with his bloodied appearance.
"Y-You!? How dare you chop off my hand!" Natasha shouted in anger.
Her wrist had already stopped bleeding as she made her blood clot.
"If I didn't do that, you would probably never concede, right?" Olgar replied.
"..."
Natasha didn't reply. She knew that he was right. She had the thought that he was also at a similar state than her, but she was wrong.
As that golden plate took some of the power of her Arch Mage spell, Olgar was able to endure the rest by drinking healing potions.
"Olgar wins!" Aezel shouted.
The mages from the Lanika Mage Guild were in a daze. They had never seen an Arch Mage level duel, and this duel would forever be etched into their minds.
"Yey!" Elena jumped up into the air with a wide smile on her face.
Natasha frowned and flew down. She looked at her bruised and dirty hand on the ground and picked it up.
She brushed off the dirt on the wrist part and placed it back on her wrist.
"O' Nature and Light, bring forth the new era, a new generation, heal the wounded and the vulnerable, Sun Healing!"
The hand reconnected, and she was able to immediately clench it.
