Idle Mage: Humanity's Strongest Backer
chapter-371

The finals of the High-Evolutionary League were heating up.

So far, all of the battles had been exceptional. The strength they displayed is truly an indication of their hard work and talents.

To continue the finals, the match between Gram and Erina started.

The two combatants stood at the center of the arena, their eyes locked onto each other. Gram raised his hand, summoning a powerful beam of light that illuminated the entire battlefield. Erina responded by unleashing a torrent of water that formed into icy shards.

Gram charged forward, his body moving like a blur as he attacked Erina with quick jabs and kicks. Erina dodged and weaved through Gram's attacks, evading each strike with ease.

Erina retaliated with a powerful blast of water that sent Gram flying across the battlefield. Gram quickly regained his composure and launched a barrage of light beams at Erina. The beams struck the ground around Erina, creating a powerful explosion.

Erina shielded herself with a wall of ice, but the force of the explosion shattered it into pieces. She stumbled backward, struggling to regain her balance. Gram saw his chance and charged forward, his fists glowing with a brilliant light.

Erina summoned another wave of water, using it to deflect Gram's attacks. She retaliated with a series of ice shards that struck Gram's arms, causing him to wince in pain. Gram pushed through the pain, his determination unwavering.

Gram unleashed a powerful burst of light that illuminated the entire arena, blinding Erina for a moment. He charged forward, delivering a powerful punch that struck Erina in the chest. She stumbled backward, gasping for air.

Gram followed up with a flurry of punches and kicks, each one more powerful than the last. Erina fought back with all her might, summoning powerful waves of water and ice. The two combatants continued to exchange blows, each one determined to emerge victorious.

In the end, it was Gram who emerged as the winner. His body was bruised and battered, but he stood tall, his fists still glowing with a brilliant light. Erina congratulated him on his victory, and the two combatants bowed to each other in mutual respect.

But the fight wasn't over for Gram just yet. He got injured from his fight against Erina but in no time, he was healed back to his peak state. The reason is that his fight against Cassandra would be next.

Gram who specializes in Light Laws against a skillful Martial Artist, Cassandra. This fight was bound to become really heated and the crowd couldn't wait anymore.

The arena was set for the semi-finals, and the crowd was eager to witness the next fight. As the two contestants entered the arena, the atmosphere turned electric with excitement.

Gram and Cassandra faced each other, and there was a tense silence as they sized each other up. Gram was an Intermediate Stage Star King, but his Light Laws were formidable, and Cassandra knew that she was in for a tough fight.

The match started, and both of them moved with lightning-fast reflexes, striking and evading with agility and skill. Gram started with a series of powerful Light Law attacks, but Cassandra was able to dodge and counter with her Martial Arts skills.

The fight continued, and the two of them exchanged blows back and forth. Cassandra's movements were fluid and graceful, while Gram's were more powerful and explosive. It was a battle of finesse versus strength.

Despite Cassandra's best efforts, Gram's Light Laws proved too much for her to handle. He landed a powerful blow that sent her flying across the arena, and she struggled to get back on her feet.

But Cassandra was not one to give up easily. She pushed herself to her limits, summoning all of her strength to fight back. She landed a series of devastating kicks and punches that left Gram reeling.

In the end, it was Cassandra who emerged victorious. She landed a final blow that sent Gram crashing to the ground, and the crowd erupted in cheers. Gram lay there, defeated, while Cassandra stood tall, triumphant.

Truth to be told, most of the people who were watching didn't expect Cassandra to win at all. To them, she just falls a little too short compared to other contestants.

She is strong, there's no denying that, but since all she had was her fist and skills, she didn't really stand out on the field.

That doesn't mean that she doesn't have any fans though. In truth, many people were rooting for her, it's just that her rather bland appearance made people underestimate her completely.

But just now, she had proven them wrong. Even though all she had was her limbs to fight, she showed exceptional skills and masterful techniques, proving that she is indeed a capable Martial Artist.

The arena was filled with the sound of applause as Cassandra basked in her victory. She had proven herself to be a worthy opponent, and the crowd acknowledged her with cheers and admiration.

Cassandra was then healed to her peak state because her fight against Erina was next.

The air was charged with anticipation as Erina and Cassandra stepped into the arena. The crowd roared as the two Star Kings faced off in the final round of the High-Evolutionary League.

Erina summoned a massive wave of water and ice, hurling it towards Cassandra. The latter responded by weaving her way through the attack with incredible speed and grace. She countered with a series of lightning-fast strikes, each one aimed with deadly precision. Erina was barely able to evade, her movements graceful and fluid.

The two fighters moved with incredible speed, trading blows that shook the arena with every impact. Erina's water and ice attacks were met with Cassandra's martial arts prowess, which enabled her to dodge and deflect with ease.

As the fight wore on, Cassandra began to take control. Her movements became more fluid, her strikes more precise. Erina fought back with all her might, unleashing a flurry of water and ice attacks that forced Cassandra onto the defensive.

But the martial artist refused to yield. She countered with a ferocious barrage of strikes that battered Erina's defenses. The water and ice attacks slowed, then ceased altogether as Erina struggled to evade Cassandra's lightning-fast strikes.

Finally, Cassandra landed a decisive blow, striking Erina's arm with a force that sent her crashing to the ground. The crowd roared as the judges declared Cassandra the winner, the new champion of the High-Evolutionary League.

Cassandra was congratulated by the Grand Commanders of the Mystic Guild, who awarded her the coveted title of High-Evolutionary Champion. The crowd cheered as she held up her trophy, a testament to her incredible skill and determination.

As for Erina, she was also rewarded for her impressive performance, earning a place of honor among the elite fighters of the Mystic Guild. The tournament may have ended, but the memories of the incredible battles and fierce competition would live on for years to come.

A losers bracket was added to determine the rest of the rankings. The fight went on until the sun could be seen setting over the horizon.

Once the battle was over, the Guild Tournament's conclusion also came close.

The champions of the Mortal League and the Top 5 of the High-Evolutionary League stepped up on the arena, basking in the crowd's praise and attention.

Elise stepped up to the podium, beaming with pride and gratitude. She surveyed the cheering crowd, taking in the sight of the thousands of people who had come to witness the grand finale of the High-Evolutionary League.

Elise paused for a moment, her eyes scanning the arena as she continued, "To those who fell short, please know that you have nothing to be ashamed of. You fought valiantly and with honor, and that is what truly matters. Remember, every loss is an opportunity to learn and grow, and I do not doubt that you will come back stronger than ever before."

In conclusion, Elise lifted her hand in a gesture of goodwill. "Let us leave this tournament with a renewed sense of purpose and passion. Whether you are a champion or a challenger, always strive to be the best version of yourself. May your journey be filled with joy, growth, and success.
