Chapter 571: DLXXII. The Strongest Mage

*boom*scorch*

"What?! What's going on?! Where does this wall come from?! Hakon's attack was blocked!" Dag thought, who when he realized that the wall's resistance time was limited, turned backward, already imagining who was the architect of that magical structure.

As if surfing in the middle of the square, Kranus dashed towards Dag and in a sudden gesture, threw the two weapons at him, diverting his trajectory and moving over the wall, so that he could have a good view of Hakon, not knowing that Dag did not want any kind of help.

The young Master, who was still stunned by that rapid succession of events, transformed the dark matter again, which took the shape of two arms and seized his weapons, feeling a sense of satisfaction in holding them back into his hands.

Before he could tell Kranus anything, the ice mage moved both of his hands in the direction of Hakon, who, realizing the presence of an intruder, shifted his mouth and blades towards him, shifting the fire beam, that moved horizontally.

Before the green fire could reach Kranus, whose speed of movement was remarkably high, using some powerful magic, he created ice that climbed onto the porch columns above the enemy's head.

The ice quickly expanded in all directions and in a few tenths of a second, taking advantage of its incredible destructive force, shattered the stone and caused the entire structure to collapse on Hakon, who, instinctively, trying to avoid being crushed by those huge boulders, stopped spitting fire.

*baaaam*

A sudden noise followed Kranus's attack, and the stone porches collapsed on themselves, raising a thick cloud of dust.

The ice mage's run stopped immediately and he turned to Dag, who was still speechless, not believing that his ally was so powerful, having never witnessed that kind of magic.

"I heard you were in trouble and I looked for your weapons, knowing that they had remained inside the castle. The search lasted longer than I thought, but I was able to bring them to you. Now I'm not going to get in the way anymore, but I needed to gain some satisfaction... the Lies Of Loki leader must know the true power of the Giants Of Ymir!" Kranus exclaimed, who as he spoke to his young friend, looked at the rubble of the arcades out of the corner of his eye.

Dag, not knowing whether to thank or reproach Kranus, aware that if there had not been that wall, he would probably be swept away by the flames, merely nodded his head, implicitly thanking him for his valuable help.

As if nothing had happened, after realizing that Dag was still in a position to continue the fight, Kranus again rode the small wave of ice moving on the floor and returned among his soldiers, ready to watch the fight from afar, like everyone else.

The warriors of the two Clans and Dag's friends gasped, glad to have underestimated Kranus, who was actually Krypstorm's strongest wizard, able to manipulate ice out of the ordinary.

Dag turned again to the rubble of the porch, waiting for Hakon to pop out on the surface, but that seconds passed slowly as hours, while the tension rose.

"Now my enemy will be really angry, but without Kranus' help, I would probably have suffered so much damage that I could no longer continue the fight... I killed your son, and yet... you saved me, proving to be a warrior of honor... I will never forget it, Kranus!" Dag thought, who meanwhile looked down at his hands and focused intently at the two weapons that had allowed him to get to that point.

A sudden noise from the rubble caught his attention and Dag returned to the combat position, waiting for Hakon to reappear somewhere. 

As he tried to keep calm and guess in which direction his opponent would emerge, a giant column of green fire rose from the bottom to the sky, sweeping away the huge blocks of frozen stone.

The explosion generated was so strong that it caused a shock wave that made Dag's feet crawling to the ground until he was far enough to hold his position.

The fire that for several seconds had lightened everything with green immediately ceased and like a lightning, Hakon came out of the dust cloud, charging and screaming towards Dag. 

The enemy's face was full of blood as Kranus's surprise attack had inflicted extensive damage on him, despite the Lies Of Loki leader's ability to predict his opponents' moves.

"He is attacking without thinking, moved only by anger! It's my moment!" the young Master thought, who instead of standing still, ran to him, followed by his dark arms, which opened and rose ready to strike.

Hakon, during the race, jumped and placed his fiery blades again in front of his mouth, spitting another fire beam in that direction.

Dag, who had predicted that blow, knowing that thanks to Kranus' help, Hakon could no longer point to the surprise effect, safely dodged the flames, moving sideways.

The enemy suddenly stopped blowing, aware that Dag's high speed of movement would not allow him to maneuver the blaze at the same speed, and waved the two fiery blades in front of him, trying to interrupt his advance.

Dag, sensing enormous force coming from his arms and legs, still shrouded in the dark fluid, did not dodge the blow, but parried it using the stone head of Magni's hammer, which in contact with the green flames of the enemy's blades, generated a purple electric shock, as if the two elements were fighting against each other for supremacy.

When he noticed that his first blade had been diverted, Hakon, who was still in mid-air, rotated the second blade, holding it upside down and attempting to surprise Dag with a low blow.

Before the direct strike to the abdomen was successful, a powerful knee struck the enemy's stomach, who unexpectedly spat blood.

"You're still underestimating me!" Dag yelled, who after sufficiently pushing Hakon away, rotated on himself and repeatedly struck him with both dark arms.
