<h4>Chapter 1867: Holding Out?</h4>


    *Boom!~*


    A loud explosion rocked the battle stage, encasing the surroundings in mist as ice and fire met.


    One team possessed the power of ice and fire, one defensive and strong and the other for zing support. On the other hand, the other team possessed two fires, the mes of the Burning Phoenix, both of them concentrating on offensive prowess.


    Both parties stayed away from each other.


    “Tanya, is the n still viable?”


    Dal Leehan looked at the snow-white robed woman beside her.


    “Yes, we hold the advantage in terms of our domain size. As long as we could hold out for nine and a half more minutes, we should be able to win.”


    Tanya Frostblight’s melodious voice echoed in Dal Leehan’s soul sea, causing her to nod.


    Only Esvele and Tanya Frostblight had five-kilometer domains, but she and Verona Stein had four and a half kilometer domain and four-kilometer domain respectively, meaning that they had the advantage to drag this out, causing the opponent team to fight amongst themselves in thest minute to make sure that at least one of them survived.


    “Or, we can try to get into their range and attack them, although I muse we would be at a disadvantage by then…”


    “I apologize. My mes don’t have a powerful offensive prowess, although they are made to be enduring and zing because of my alchemy profession, so they rather have a powerful defense and can support as I have better control over my mes.”


    Dal Leehan pursed her lips and looked sorry, but Tanya Frostblight shook her head.


    “I know. That’s why I chose for us to be on the defensive.”


    “But… are we fine with that?”


    They both turned to look at each other, clenching their fists before they looked towards the front again.


    “It’s not. I’m going to prove that I’m strong.”


    “Me too~”


    Both Tanya Frostblight and Dal Leehan’s gaze shone with determination, their pupils lightning up with fire. However, it turned out that it was the reflection of crimson mes sting towards them.


    “Epassing Dual Phoenix Wings!”


    Four burning wings appeared from two sides as they threatened to epass and burn them to ashes. However, numerous wisps of mes lit up around them, lighting themselves upon making contact with the iing burning phoenix wings as it set them on fire.


    “Echoheart me Control!”


    Dal Leehan controlled the massive wisps of mes to destroy the iing attacks. However, the damage caused was not enough.


    “Grazing Ice Shards!~*


    But simultaneously, Tanya Frostblight raised her palms when she hurled hundreds of icy objects at them.


    *Whizz!~*


    Sheunched a plethora of sharp and thick icy shards that struck the ming wings and caused them to be destroyed into a mist that spread like a storm, further lowering their visibility.


    The fog became a hindrance but not to Tanya Frostblight, who was experienced in this kind of situation.


    ‘Nethersnow Mirage Steps…’


    She took a step to the side and disappeared while Dal Leehan noticed her partner disappearing. She did not panic but stabilized her breathing and summoned more wisps of mes to surround her as she closed her eyes. Using the heart as the source and the surroundings as the furnace to feel her surroundings, her eyes suddenly shot wide open as she punched out with her fist.


    ‘There…!’


    Instantly, the wisps of mes surrounding her shot towards the direction she punched, disappearing through the misty area.


    Esvele and Verona Stein, who steadily and slowly flew in the mist, as elegantly as a phoenix, suddenly noticed fiery wisps hurled at them. Their eyes went wide in shock as they had kept their energies hidden to hide and attack their opponents from a better angle, but it seemed like they were found out.


    “Change of ns. All-out attack!”


    “I agree!”


    Their figures became shrouded in mes as theyunched themselves from the directions the wisps of mes emerged from. Their slim figures became winged before they seared through the wisps of mes easily.


    However, what awaited them was a ring of mes abruptly epassing them into a fire barrier.


    Dal Leehan saw that they were trapped in her fire ring and forcefully sped her fists.


    “Implode!”


    The fires surrounding Esvele and Verona Stein directly closed upon them and imploded. The violent release of me energy should’ve directly turned them into ashes. However, their two figures shot out of the implosion, seemingly unharmed. But, the people could see ming vines surrounding them in a sphere of defense before Verona Stein retracted it.


    Dal Leehan waved her hands, andyers andyers ofrge ming wisps kept stacking in front of her, reaching towards them. Esvele had her arms extended like she was imitating the movements of the burning phoenix while Verona Stein moved her fingers, manipting the fiery vines of her domain to target the wisps of contamination left by Dal Leehan.


    *Whiz!~* *Whiz!~*


    The numerous wisps were snuffed out like they were stranded mes. It was easy, but Verona Stein didn’t rx and watched out for the remaining person who was nowhere to be seen. But on the other hand…


    “Everburning Dance of the Burning Phoenix!~”


    Esvele’s breathing was steady. A low hum escaped from her mouth as she unleashed the tumultuous fiery wave of essence energy gathered in her ten fingers against Dal Leehan!


    Dal Leehan’s scalp turned numb as she saw the iing attack. She mused that it contained at least more than twenty percent of Esvele’s energy and quickly summoned her own fiery might to defend.


    “Subduing Cauldron Implosion!~”


    The wisps of mes surrounding her body swirled as they formed the image of a cauldron. The attack that Esveleunched pierced through the air towards Dal Leehan in the grand image of the Burning Phoenix. It appeared so powerful that it could kill her if she was left unguarded.


    However, the moment it rushed past the fiery image of the cauldron, it was suddenly stopped as though it was restricted, the energy unleashed by Esvele bing trapped in it.


    Esvele’s brows raised, but she wasn’t that astonished as she twisted her palm and pushed against Dal Leehan!


    *Puchi!~*


    The fiery image of the Burning Phoenix pierced through the cauldron and zoomed at Dal Leehan. Thetter’s eyes were shocked that the burning phoenix didn’t explode upon impact. How much terrifying control did that require over that technique!?


    Just when she thought it was over, an icy blue light shed asyers of ice walls formed in front of her.


    *Boom!~*


    Both attacks shed and turned the entire area misty again, which had the crowd on the edge of their seats, making them wonder what was going on!


    Esvele saw that her attack was probably defended by Tanya Frostblight and turned to look at Verona Stein. However, there was an icy mirror by her side, and Tanya Frostblight extended out of with a sword in her hands as though she was a ghostly pale mirage, d in an icy Supreme Domain that contained the terrifyingly sharp intent of Sword Laws superimposed over her Perfect Domain!


    “Icy Rend Swordy!~”


    A sword sliced across space and struck against Verona Stein.


    Thetter noticed it, and despite using the numerous vines to form an instantaneous fiery vine garden around her, the icy air of the de cleaved the vines and headed inside. Air visibly froze into ice in the de’s path, and blood sshed out, staining the frozen ice causing Esvele’s heart to skip a beat.


    “Verona!”
