"Oops, I almost got carried away there."

Drollo said after looking at Drika's eyes and realizing she had been shocked by amount of killing intent that he had put out in that split second. She still had her guard up but had went from an attacking posture to a defensive one.

She was now sure that the person that she was fighting was not a normal one. It had been a long time since she was so coutouse of her opponent and it went to show just how much a Primal's killing intent could change the course of a fight.

'Good, at least now she is not being lead by her bloodline insticts.'

Drollo thought.

He let his guard down and stood up straight as he put his hands on his back like an old wise man.

His gesture startled Brika but she did not let her guard down. She had just managed to reach the uppor tier of her Circle and was fighting someone who had been in her current Circle of power for years and who was more than her current age was something she never thought when considering a fight.

Drollo gestured for them to leave the house grownds and she complaid.

She landed on the roof and Drollo was waiting for her. He then leaped off and headed straight for an area that looked to be a forest.

He had wanted to go the opposite direction but some beasts were already fighting there. They entered the area and the trees were big and wide as they were centuries old. After they reached the center of the forest he stopped. He then turned and bowed to her.

"Thank you for indulging me."

He said.

Brika still had her guard up and said nothing.

"The things we do for our bloodline."

He said.

"There is a big gap between the third circle and and forth in terms of power. If we fought at the house, the whole place was going to come crashing down and who knows what would happen to him."

He added.

"I know that you do not give a damn about my house, but you putting the safety of your child first means that you were concerned about the very same thing. Even though we would have not held back when fighting in the house, knowing we might hurt him indirectly as we fought would have made us fight in a different way. Here, whoever loses, it will not be of outside factors but the loss will be solemnly on that person."

Drollo said.

Brika kept quiet as he talked and looked for any signs of an attack. He started walking around as he talked like he was a master and she was the student.

"Are you trying to talk me to death or do you have something up your sleeve old man?"

Brika asked.

"You know, the information on you said that you were an insane mindless killing machine that would not stop until her opponent was dead when you get worked up. It seems that for the first time I got false information. You are nothing like the reports say, except for that ditemination of yours, or is it that something recently happened?"

He asked as he stopped moving about and looked at her straight in the eyes.

"I love my son, but I did not see him going anywhere without me helping him. You have just reached the third circle solide stage and I am a third circle Primal who is in the liquid stage and about to reach the solid stage. For my son's protection, I shall show you no messy."

Brika said as she prepared for an attack.

Drollo sighed.

'For an old man who looks wise, you sure are a fool. Those reports you got of me should have told you that my technique makes me stronger the more time passes when it is activated as power our bloodline. Bringing me all the way here and you wasting time talking was just what I needed. The more we waste time, in terms of power, I will reach your level and surpass you during our battle.'

Salina thought. It was the first time either than practice she had activated her all her spells and did not lose herself to them.

Drollo was wearing arm guards as part of his armor. They looked golden and had the same intricate design as artifects. The rest of his armor was made up of light leather and light boots with shin guards.

It screamed close combat fighter and after doing her research about him, Brika knew what to expect. He was one of the few who combined martial arts and spells to make his own unique spells. It was something that her hasband had recently done but differently. She also paid attention to his arm guards.

Drollo suddenly launched off the ground. Even though she knew what to expect, seeing it with her own eyes still surprised her. The ground under his feet had turned to stone and using the momentum of the stones coming out the ground, he had leaped in her direction in a blink of an eye.

Her choice of weapons for this fight were there two daggers that Drollo had recently given Dalex as a present. They complicated her spells though they where if the Darka Element. She had no time to launch an attack as he came to her, so she braised herself.

Her caution paid off. When Drollo reached her, he launched a punch at her. In a split second, a blade came out of the arm guard aiming for her head. She moved away from his strike. Another blade appeared on his other arm guard as an uppercut was headed for her chin. She stepped back and avoided it.

She tried to counter-attack using her daggers but a stone spike come out of the ground of where Drollo's foot was, wanting to skew her. She cut it using both of her daggers as she stepped back but had to do the same as another came out of the ground.

She had to pay attention to the front of her as she dealt with Drollo's arm blades and also the ground with him using his martial arts to launch stone spikes at her.

She had to do something to catch her breath and she dashed back after avoiding being skewed and channeling her mana through her daggers, she launched too wind blades at him. Regardless of the attack, Drollo was relentless as he used his arm blades to block the attack and dashed in to continue his barrage on her. It was like he was the berserker.

Brika swung both her daggers in the air at the same time and two tornados come out and went for Drollo. He stopped and slammed his foot on the ground and a ten-meter wall rose in front of him.

He kicked it and sent it flying toward the tornados. As the wall reached them, he was right behind it. It went through them with ease as it was so heavy. They went on to where he was when she launched them as trees were being uprooted and thrown in different directions.

They got more powerful as they went on but Brika could not see what was happening behind the wall.

Drollo was no longer there. She sent multiple wind blades so to break the stone wall apart before it reached her but it was so close to her that she had to retreat back as she did.

They hit the stone wall and Drollo came out of it as he leaped forward with his arm blades at the ready. When the tornados had passed the wall, he jumped and got inside it so as not to get swept up by the tornados.

Seeing him fine and on the attack again, Brika was getting annoyed and her Technique amplified her feeling. She stopped retreating and threw her daggers at him.

He blocked them but he was surprised by the attack as the daggers came back at him. They were floating in the air like boomerangs as they would come back and attack him each time he blocked them.

He noticed that the end of their hilts seemed to be in an air pocket and they would let out air every time he blocked them and sent them flying in a different direction. The condensed air that it let out would propel them back at him. It was small though and Brika could only use them a couple of times.

"Boom"

Brika had almost landed a hit. While Drollo was blocking the last of the propelled daggers while in the air after leaping from the wall, she had leaped forward and launched a punch to his face but he had managed to block it even after having two daggers and a fist coming at him.

He had launched two stone bullets at them and then covered his face using both of his arms as Salina's fist landed on his arm guards. The attack was so powerful that the momentum pushed him back and he landed between the two tornados.

Brika swung both her hands inwards and the two became one as they merged with Drollo at the center. At that moment they were full of uprooted trees and other debris.

The tornado became bigger as wild winds swept through the forest. After a while, it disappeared. Where it had been turning was now a boulder as big as an elephant and smooth. It cracked like an egg about to hatch and then split into two. Drollo was inside and he stepped out looking disheveled.

"That punch...."

He said inquisitively.

"I thought that you have just reached solid stage?"

He asked as he stepped forward. Brika just kept quiet.

'I was better off fighting a mindless Bloodline baraberian.'

He thought as he looked at a calm Brika.

'Her punch was almost as strong as mine just now and since it was a melee attack, it could go through my defenses.'

He thought as he got closer. It was then that he remembered something on the report he had forgotten about. He had forgotten because he was so worked up on protecting his son.

It was the fact that it said that Brika seemed to get stronger the more she fought, with them thinking it had to do with her Blessing.

"What a fool I am."

He said as he mocked himself.

"I have to end this fight right now."

He said nonchalantly as he took a stance. It was like he had just been warming up. Brika was just standing there as she got stronger. She had kept her rage at by but not being herself had made her more careful than she needed to be.

She was still finding the balance between her berserk self and her normal self with one dominant over the other in her state and for now, it was her normal self.

'It is time I stop being cautious and beat this old fool.'

She thought as she watched him take a stance.

"Stone age!"

He cast his spell as he took another stance.

"Stone tentacles!"

He cast another spell as he smiled.

"It was the first time Brika had fought someone who cast two spells at once and it only meant one thing to her, that they complimented each other.

Usually, a Primal mage would cast one spell at a time so that the spells they cast could not cancel each other out.

'A close combat fighter would usually have an area spell. One to deal damage to multiple opponents so as not to get surrounded or overwhelmed by enemies.'

Brika thought as she prepared herself.

"Mass attraction."

It seemed Drollo was not finished casting his spells and as soon as She had him cast a third spell she took back calling him a fool. She had no choice.

It was time to let the cautious Brika take a back seat and let out the rage Salina take over the wheel if she wanted to win the fight.

"This is what a mother can do?"

Drollo said as he went on the attack.

The ground that had been turned upside down by Brika and Drollo fighting turned into stone while the trees that had not been uprooted slowly started to also turn into stone from the roots up.

Brika who was at a distance from Drollo at that point stood in a defensive stance with her guard up while a stony smell assaulted her nose.

'Is this a petrification spell?... No, it can't be. If it was, it would be affecting me as well. It is only affecting the surrounding area and at the same time, I can sense the Earth's mana getting dense... It must be his 'Stone age' spell.'

She thought.

"A buff spell."

She said to Drollo who smiled when he heard what she said.

'With Earth mana getting drawn into the area of effect of his spell, all of his earth-based spells will be more powerful by the second.'

Brika thought as she prepared to attack after summarizing how his spell worked.

'Time to let loose.'

She thought as she narrowed her eyes and let her rage take over.

At the same time, tentacles made of stone sprouted from the ground. They were big, with many of them being as big as the forest's trees.

It was Drollo's 'Stone tentacles' spell. She had dashed in trying to close the distance but she did not have to. Drollo had disappeared from where he was standing and appeared in front of her.

It was his 'Mass attraction' spell. It was a spell he would use when fighting range fighters. It allowed him to instantly close the distance to his opponents, making them fight in close combat so that they could not run away from him.

He had used it against Brika because he wanted to finish the fight sooner than later because of how her tichnique worked.

They exchanged blows but at the same time, he could feel that she had reached his level in terms of power as her physical blows now matched his. He stepped back as he launched spikes at her again from where he was stepping.

She cut them down while she too stepped back, but Drollo had instantly appeared in front of her again using his 'Mass attraction' spell. She threw her daggers at him as she let out an angry growl and smashed the stone spikes using her bare hands.

"Boom."

While Drollo had been dealing with the daggers which kept on coming at him again, stone tentacles descended on her as they smashed into her while she was dealing with the stone spikes.

Dust shot up into the air as they kept lashing at her. Drollo could not see anything because of the dust cloud but the daggers were still attacking him, meaning she was still in control of them.

She appeared from the dust in seconds as she leaped to where Drollo was as the condensed air in the hilts of the daggers was about to be finished. She grabbed them and landed on the ground as a tentacle rose right next to where she was.

She run across the field as tentacle after tentacle attacked her from all sides. She would cut them down using her daggers and wind blade spells but each time she would cut one down, another would rise to replace it.

Drollo appeared next to her holding a boulder as big as a car with one hand. He smashed it into her but she punched it once and smashed it into bits. She screamed as she appeared from the falling rocks.

She was now faster than Drollo as she descended on him with a flurry of attacks using her daggers combined with wind attacks. At the same time, she was getting wilder while Drollo's spells got more powerful and the stone tentacles got thicker.

Drollo stepped onto the ground with force and then stepped back while stone tentacles kept her from pursuing him. With them keeping her in place, the ground came up and closed in on her like a book being closed.

There were spikes on the surface of the stone walls as they closed in on her so as to skewer her when they slammed together.

"Bang!"

It was the sound of the two-half slamming together as they closed with her in the center.

"Boom!"

The rock exploded as it flew in every direction together with a gust of wind. Brika had forcefully broken it into small pieces using air pressure. A stone tentacle grabbed her leg and slammed her onto the ground.

It lifted her up in the air again so as to do the same thing again but she cut it using a wind slice while Drollo appeared above her, ready to slice her with his arm blades. She pushed him away using a wind spell and managed to land on the grown with him a distance away from him.

The ground cracked as each step of hers exuded power after she reached the ground. She made it to Drollo in an instant like he would and launched an attack. He blocked the strike but the power behind it pushed him back as he hit a tree that had at that point turned into stone all the way.

She reached him in an instant again as she launched another attack. Drollo hit the tree with the back of his hand and a spike went for her head as she approached.

She punched it on the tip and crumbled it all the way to where it had sprouted. She reached him and she was about to slice him with her dagger but a stone tentacle grabbed her hand in time.

It could not stop her as she tore it with her strength as shecontinued to strike down her dagger at Drollo. It tore and Andros had to stop the dagger from stabbing the top of his head by lifting his hands over his head in an X-like fashion, making his arm blades stop it from reaching him. It stopped right above his head.

A stone tentacle lashed out at her and hit her on the side, sending her flying sideways and crashing on many stone trees before she stopped.

She got up as soon as she stopped rolling on the ground and looked at Drollo who hadn't instantly appeared in front of her like he had been doing.

'What in All-mother. She has not used her strongest spells yet and she is already overwhelming me.'

Drollo thought.

Brika who had blood coming from her head looked at Andros and all she could think about was killing him.

Drollo was right to question what was going on with her even though he knew it was because of her Tichnique that she was becoming stronger every second.

The worry was that it had taken her a short time to surpass the power of a liquid stage third-tier Mage during their fight.

"Armageddon."

Brika cast a spell.

"What?... A single word spell?"

Andros exclaimed in surprise.

Since she had given herself to her rage, there was no stopping her until she killed Drollo at that point. She had cast her uncontrollable and most powerful spell yet.

The sky darkened and the wind stopped for a second before it moved again. Black clouds filled the sky and the Earth mana that had been flowing to the area scatted.

Drollo looked at the sky and back at Brika. He knew he was in trouble when he looked at a girl in ninja armor looking at him with red eyes that made him get chills for the first time when facing an opponent.

It was the start of her spell and the air it exuded made him not want to know what was coming as the stage was now prepared with the wind whistling by.
