"Do you want to test it out?"

........

Reve turned to face Nikan as soon as he heard that. 

He later revealed a smile as he thought, "Hmmm….why not? It would be our last spar anyway!"

"Sure," he revealed his thoughts to Nikan.

For the past month, they had been focused on developing the theoretical aspects of their styles, leaving them with little time to spar. 

It would be alright to test the results of their long seclusion. They could not deny the bubbling feeling of excitement that was breeding in them. Their smiles arced well on their faces as they both stood up and faced one another.

As per normal, Reve quickly distanced himself from Nikan. There was no way he would forget that he was a mage, not a battle-brawler.

He took in a deep breath of fresh air and concentrated on the cool sensation he perceived.

His mind resonated, 'Like the fresh wind. Like the winter leaves. Like the chill lake.'

All of a sudden, his eyes brightened and he was finally ready.

Following the normal tempo, Nikan was the first one to move. He burst at such speed that one would think they had fallen under an illusion and were starting to see double.

Before he got to Reve, Nikan protruded his claws and slashed at the air, "[Wind Claws]."

Four huge claws with a green hue appeared in the wind with such ferocity. Borrowing the power of the wind, they clobbered down on Reve.

Seeing this, Reve simply smirked.

While the situation was disadvantageous for him, his mind raced wildly to find the right set of attacks to counter the awful claws.

With a grin, Reve quickly snapped his fingers and a single magic circle appeared underneath the moving claws. It unleashed hellish ice particles that turned the claws to a deep blue. Just before the claws could contact his skin, they dispersed into blue shimmers of light.

However, Reve was not done, another magic circle appeared just behind him that stopped the sudden intruder from advancing.

The intruder was of course Nikan who was just testing the waters, so he wasn't surprised that he was caught.

Out of nowhere, a sneaky white plant whip wrapped around his legs. He tried to tear it apart but the resilience of the plant was one to admire.

"Eh, What is this?" exclaimed Nikan.

In less than a minute, his blood chilled as if they were put under frigid temperature. Every breath that came out of his mouth was visible….if not too visible. His skin was starting to turn blue and ice thorns ejected from the white plant whip into his bloodstream subtly.

"Oh, I see now. An upgrade, heh? However, this much is not enough," smiled Nikan.

He closed his eyes and proclaimed, "[Wind Avatar]!"

Like as if he was a magnet for disasters, a fierce wind gale with bothering howls descended on him. Before he could even breathe, another one came at him…..and another one….and another one.

The cluster of wind gales blocked Reve's sight!

By the time, they settled. Nikan was revealed to have made a quick wardrobe change. He had a green combat garment that flowed too easily with the wind.

Seeing this Reve muttered inwardly, '[Wind Avatar] is his most common ki art. He never really used this before. Does this mean he is finally stepping up his game?'

He decided to not focus on irrelevant thoughts and simply go with the flow.

As Reve's eyes stared intensely at Nikan, he received the shock of his life.....In the blink of an eye, Nikan disappeared.

Reve tried to calm himself and counted inwardly. If he understood Nikan well enough, the latter should be rushing at him right now.

Reve unleashed the full power of his sensory faculty and bided his time patiently.

'One...two….three….Now!'

Just as he expected, he sensed movements behind him. Reve manifested his [Force Barrier] and punched it towards the direction he suspected the movement was coming from.

Not willing to leave any gap in his defense, he manifested dozens of [Force Barriers] and sent them in all directions.

This was one of the ways he had learned to use [Force Barrier]. Apart from simply focusing on effectiveness, he could bring out its true versatile nature, making it easy for him to defend and attack at the same time.

If he was right, the direction where the loudest noise occurs is the location of Nikan.

*Boom!* 

Just as he expected, the sound came out from behind him. He moved quickly towards that direction, however, his lips curled to form a smile.

'Only an amateur would fall for a simple move like this!'

As soon as he sensed the disturbance of magical energy in his surrounding, Reve hastily stopped and revealed three magic circles that had been building up underneath him.

In less than six seconds, the magic circles generated a huge tree that enveloped Reve. This tree was unceasing when it came to growth. With its sharp branches, it headed for the sky!

Yes, that was Reve's aim all along.

Only an amateur would fall for an obvious bait. Nikan was never behind him. Nikan was in the sky!

…...And now, like a falling star, Nikan was diving towards him with an insane momentum. All around him, a green aura extended and protected him from the dangers of such an attack. 

As if to announce that it was a final attack, his deep black fur extended out of his skin, and full [Prime Mode] was left on full display. He howled as he reached a sizable distance from Reve.

Nikan saw the barren tree branches heading for him but he paid no attention to them. He grinned as, yet again, his speed increased due to his maximum output of ki.

Before he knew it, it was already time for the clash of the two. Like a slippery fish, Nikan twisted in the air and landed a dropkick at the onslaught of tree branches!

*Boom!*
