Chapter 19 – Shockwave

Everything took such a quick turn that Favian wasn’t even able to process what had happened. He had cast 6 Rending Claws in succession against the elf before time started to work as normal. The Rending Claws impacted onto his opponent and layered upon each other, making their damage multiplicative. A huge boom resonated in the jungle; foliage and soil were flung up.

As Peon had been impacted by the multiple large claws aimed at him, he panicked. A blue barrier covered in an electric current surrounded the boy and absorbed the full brunt of the attack Favian threw at him. A blue light beamed towards the sky with the elf at its center, and a huge shockwave burst into existence. The whole scenery was turned into a mess as trees were felled, and grass burnt.

In the aftermath of the shockwave, Favian was flung into the air, before he impacted against a tree with such force that he was knocked unconscious. Both Dunkel and Garu were also damaged by the shockwave, however, the damage they both received was way less than what Favian received as they were much further away from where the attack originated.

“STOP!” the overseer shouted, having been a step too late to stop the carnage on the battlefield. The regular battleground grass field re-emerged once the overseer spoke, with the trees and foliage seemingly soaking into the ground. He flew onto the ground next to Favian, before creating a shimmering bright light which enveloped Favian’s whole body. The numerous wounds caused by the shockwave were rapidly being healed, a feat most of the people in the crowd marveled at as this was a display of very high-level magic.

The overseer was livid with the situation, as it was his job to protect students from any mishaps during a battle. He had not expected Peon to go against the rules stated as he had used a Level 1 Mage spell.

“How dare you? I specifically told you that magic of that level is prohibited!” he shouted, his eyes bulging unnaturally. Had he not been preoccupied with healing Favian, he’d have taught the elf a harsh lesson already.

“I-I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to. He just caught me off guard with his spells, it was an instinct I swear!” the boy spoke in fear. He had been surprised by the barrage of dark energy that was about to hit him straight in the arms, so naturally, he did what he could to protect himself in the quickest way possible. Unfortunately, this had been against the rules of the competition, and he would be feeling the consequences of his mistake very soon. Peon would be lucky to continue practicing magic at the academy.

Dunkel was somehow still conscious after receiving the shockwave, whilst Garu was also unconscious like Favian. Seeing the aftermath of the fight, Dunkel was like a bull seeing the color red. He sprinted towards the elf hurling curse words left, right, and center. Fortunately for him, the overseer was quick to separate the two before another fight started.
