Boom!
A burst of orange-yellow light suddenly exploded!
The Fireball Technique, cast four times with Limit Breaking, shot out from his toes, and the resulting explosion sent Yasi's body flying like a fallen kite, crashing obliquely into the snow not far away.
Colin tensed his body slightly adjusting his position, preparing to deal with the next attack.
At the same time, he did not forget to summon another Fire Element.
"I must say, I underestimated you," Yasi dismissed the Black Mist shrouding his body, revealing his form clad in black armor and coldly stared at Colin with his crimson eyes.
"But... how many times more can you use such tricks?"
Swish!
Before he finished speaking, Yasi charged again toward the twisted ancient tree!
Colin met him head-on once more.
He knew Yasi was right; relying on changing the intensity of the Knight Aura to affect Yasi's attacks was always only temporary.
Sooner or later, Yasi would adapt.
But it didn't matter; whether it was Yasi or themselves, they were actually all scrambling for time.
Boom!
Colin's figure was sent flying once again.
The goose feather-like snow continued to fall, densely packed, outdoing even a downpour.
This early winter snow was extraordinarily harsh.
Lillian watched Colin continuously being thrown back, emotions surging uncontrollably within her, futilely shooting another beam of golden light toward Yasi.
However, the chasm between First Rank and Second Rank was thoroughly exemplified at this moment.
The pitch-black figure didn't care about any of her attacks, be they golden light or entwining vines.
Everything, to Yasi clad in Black Mist Armor, was as trivial as a child's punches, not even scratching him.
Beneath the entire Black Mist barrier, the only one who could resist Yasi at this moment was that aqua-gold figure.
However, as time passed, Lillian clearly noticed Colin's resistance growing weaker with each encounter.
Initially, he could still use the special Fireball Witchcraft to disrupt Yasi's offense by detonating it close to his body.
Now, he could only use his own flesh to take the hits directly.
"Colin... junior," Lillian whispered, her voice as delicate as snowflakes.
"Colin... junior..." Marjorie got up from the snowy ground, murmuring with lips turned purple from cold.
He was always a man of deep emotions, and watching this scene, the tip of his nose unexpectedly stung, and his eyes quickly reddened.
A feeling of helplessness enveloped him.
If Lillian, his senior, couldn't help at all in such a battle, what could he hope to do?
Boom!
Dust flew up, the freshly fallen snow blasted by the shock wave returned again to the air.
"How much longer can you hold out, Colin Leonard?"
In midair, Yasi looked down at Colin in the crater on the ground, his tone was calm, seemingly with a hint of regret.
He watched Colin struggling to his feet, looking at those calm eyes which remained unchanged; against the backdrop of the night, those eyes seemed to grow even deeper, like the dark blue of the midnight sky.
Yasi felt an inexplicable regret as he continued,
"You should have accepted my offer to join me back then, Colin."
Colin did not respond, instead he raised his hand to summon another Fire Element.
But this action seemed to infuriate Yasi; his eyes flashed coldly, and the Black Mist churned.
Whoosh!
Yasi charged once again toward the twisted tree!
Colin took a light breath and flashed in front of Yasi.
The aqua-gold Fighting Aura burned like flames on his skin, but it had clearly dimmed compared to before.
A tingling sensation occasionally came from his abdomen.
Colin knew it was the wound that had been pierced earlier, now rapidly healing.
The black light shot towards him like a shooting star.
Colin silently glanced at the twisted tree.
The faint green light was still on, and those originally gnarled branches had mostly relaxed.
Taking a deep breath, Colin withdrew his gaze and tensed his body.
His physical condition was worse than it seemed...
The chasm between a Second Rank Wizard and a First Rank was indeed hard to cross.
This time, he wasn't sure he could withstand Yasi's attack.
The Black Mist rolled in, but just then, a golden figure suddenly intervened.
'Lillian, senior?!'
Colin's expression changed abruptly.
