Luna pulled back the string on her bow again, but no arrow formed on it. Instead, she simply released it and suddenly a gust of air moved all around them.
Issi wondered what happened, but it didn't take him long to realize that the air was filled with tiny slashes of air in them. Fortunately, his armor could block the attacks.
He made a horizontal slash and a true ocean wave appeared out of it as it moved towards Luna.
Luna pulled her string once more as a mana arrow forged around it that she shot at the incoming wave.
The arrow destroyed the wave easily just like before. However, when the splash of water dropped to the ground, she saw another wave appear right behind it.
Issi had sent two back-to-back waves and had caught her off-guard. There was no way for her to protect against this wave of water in time by attacking, so he activated a ring on her finger.
The emerald gemstone on her ring shined and a barrier of wind formed around her. When the wave hit her, she was pushed back, but she took no damage at all.
The gemstone on her hand dimmed. It would take another couple of minutes before it worked again. For now, she would have to make do with her magic powers.
She shook her bow and it turned back into a staff. Then, she ran forward to fight in close combat.
Powered by the wind, she appeared in front of Issi instantly. Then, she slammed her staff to his right.
Issi blocked and parried it with his sword. Then, he attacked her back, but Luna had already flown up and somersaulted behind him.
Issi quickly ran forward and turned around as he slashed at her, sending a heavy wave of water along with sword Essence in his attack.
Luna slammed the butt of her staff onto the ground and suddenly silver light appeared from it. An illusory moon appeared in front of her as it blocked the slash of water.
Water sprayed around her but not a single drop landed on her. Once the attack stopped, she quickly changed her staff back to a bow and pulled the string.
This time, 3 arrows appeared on it. Luna let go of the string and the threw arrows twisted and turned as they collectively made their way towards Issi.
Issi looked mad. Without any hesitation, he let go of more of the power in his sword, and soon it started showing more power of the ocean.
He slashed again and a massive tidal wave at least 15 meters high appeared in front of her.
However, Luna didn't look worried at all. Instead, she simply watched the 3 arrows land on the wave and instantly destroy it.
Issi's eyes went wide when he saw that. 'That… that was one of my strongest attacks!' he thought, refusing to believe that the girl had destroyed it so easily.
Ning and the rest watched from the side with some concern on their face.
"Will he be okay?" Nova asked.
"I hope so," Drake said. "But it doesn't look good."
"Why is that little wyrm continuing to send out water? Does he not realize that she's already beaten her water? Why is he not using other attacks?" Derel asked angrily.
"I… I don't think he has anything else to use," Drake said. "As far as I can remember, I've only seen him send out water slashes."
"Tsk! What sort of idiot only learns one technique? Even if it's just water technique, he should know to learn more," Derel said.
"I don't think he's a fighter," Ning said from the side. "He's either not a fighter or a fighter that doesn't care about fighting. That's why he doesn't have enough experience to change his style depending on his fight."
"Then? Is he going to lose just like that?" Derel asked.
"Maybe not," Ning said. "He did mention about having a secret attack that was quite strong. Let's see what it is."
The fight between the two of them continued with neither of them getting an upper hand.
Luna was forced to stay on the defensive as Issi kept on sending out his water waves one after another. She defended it easily, but she also couldn't go on the offensive.
Issi worried that his Essence was going to come to empty up soon. With the number of attacks he had sent, he was afraid he was going to undo the binding that bind the tsunami to his hilt.
If that happened, he would lose the only piece of weapon he owned.
On the other hand, Luna was the Hero of the elves. As an elf, she already had a high amount of mana, but as a Hero on top of that, her mana was practically unending. With so much mana, she could continue to fight for as long as she wanted.
Slowly, he started attacking less and less to preserve his Essence, but that only gave Luna the opportunity to attack.
Soon, Luna was on the offensive, and Issi was forced to block.
"Screw it," he thought and suddenly held his sword in front of him, pointing towards Luna.
Luna pulled her string again as 3 arrows appeared on it, even as she did that, she tapped into the two rings she wore. Both of the skills in her two rings were available for her to use.
She let the arrows go and all 3 of them flew towards Issi.
Issi stood there with nothing to protect himself as even the suit of water armor he had put on had melted away.
He closed his eyes as he remembered the day his brother sacrificed himself to contain the massive tsunami and bind it to a broken sword by his side.
Today, he was going to undo what his brother did.
Today, he was going to let the tsunami free.
"I'm sorry brother," Issi said softly. Then, he opened his eyes and undid the binding.
