"Alright! Start on the word go.

GO!

"

The boy immediately dashed at me with frightening speed. Frightening is an over-exaggeration, but for his age it is frightening. He was basically at the Knight rank when it came to speed, but it was nothing compared to my speed.

I wasn't going to just beat him, I was going to give him hope before crushing and humiliating him in front of his family.

He immediately created an ice sword in his left hand and a water lance in his right. A moment later, the water lance had left his hand, shooting right towards me with a whistle. Unfortunately for him, it was simply too slow. I swiftly dashed to the left before dashing to the right in zig sag motions, not allowing him to throw a good shot with the lance again.

He seemed to be slightly surprised by my speed since I wasn't a warrior, but he did not even a second to recompose himself before smashing the floor with his bleu aura-covered foot. The ground quickly started to crack while all the cracks went towards me as if the power of earth could be used against me, someone with the earth affinity.

However, the fluctuations from under the earth said something else...

*Bang*

Shooting out of the earth, a fist came right towards my face, allowing me to narrowly block the attack centimeters away from my face, launching me upwards from the momentum of the hit alone.

"I see

" I muttered while glancing at the dissipating clone. It was fully created out of the water but also had the characteristics of a human through aura manipulation, and since I did not use my divine eyes yet, I could not see the difference between the clone and the real one.

However, I could think about that later as a swiftly flipped mid-air and landed on my feet a few meters away from where he originally stood.

"The stomp was a distraction

" I laughed mockingly, yet I did not get a reaction from him.

Instead, he lunged at me again with two compact ice swords in his hands that at least weight a few dozen kg.

At the same time, I created two stone swords before covering them with red flames, allowing me to block the attack that came straight at me with ease. It did not seem like he was done, however, a second later, he twirled 270 degrees on his left heel while slashing at me with the sword within his right hand.

I narrowly dodged the sword by hitting it with my sword and parrying it upwards, towards my head that was already further away from it than my body was, making it a safe parry as long as he did not...

He quickly stabbed forwards right before I could full parry, but due to me not being put into an awkward position, shifting my head to the right was all I need to do to completely evade the stab.

*CLANG* *SWISH* *CLANG*

*step* *step* *step* *step*

After two exchanges and clashes, I was 'forced' to take a few steps back.

*step* *step* *step* *step* *step* *step*

This continued to take place, as he became faster, sharper, and stronger after every hit.

"Pft

"

Stifling my laugh while looking at his power level, I watched as his status went from Focused to Furious. I could see a nerve bulge on his head, threatening to pop. He gritted his teeth and his attacks became even more aggressive, but this time, it was a lot more wild. This not only made it hard for me to follow the attacks that once were coordinated, but it also made it hard for me to act like I was being pushed back.

In the spectators, everyone looked tense, but one man looked more confused out of everyone, and that was Jack.

'Does she want to go through with the engagement? No, that can't be right. Yes, I might have only known her for 2 days, but I knew she would not like being forced into something. Then is she trying to not show all her abilities to her parents? Why would she do that... Unless' He quickly recalled me telling him to not tell anyone about my light element or the abilities that I had shown when I fought against that guy from the Pride church. At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Deros with pity before whispering to him

"We need to talk.

"

On the battlefield, I was constantly taking steps back as the boy had gotten stronger and stronger after every hit. For the next hit, however, he long longer held back, and shot out his blueish cyan silver battle aura and covered his whole body with it, increasing his strength threefold in the process.

"Oh? You dare use a trinket in our battle!?

" I roared, causing him and the whole family to widen their eyes in shock to how I would have known. The boy, however, after the initial shock was able to calm down and made sure to use all the time he has left to at least defeat me since everyone else was simply too far away to do anything even if they believed my words immediately.

My father, at the side, watching the battle was about to step forward. While the boy might have thought they could not do anything, my father, someone who has ascended past the Imperial Knight rank could easily dash there within a second, yet Jack held him back and whispered

"Just watch

"

The boy immediately swung his sword at my accusation, but the moment his sword hit my body, it instantaneously went right through me, cutting me in half. Little did he know what the time was that we had had just cut was not me, but a mud puppet I had created in my place as I jumped back.

He had thought that I would be black, so he used all his strength. However, the moment his sword went right through, his brain short-circuited before going into a panic. Did he just kill someone? Did someone just die from his attack? Did he split the girl he was pursuing in half? All those questions echoed in his brain, not allowing him to see me right in front of him, loading back a devastating punch to the abdomen.

*BANG* *Crack*

A terrific amount of pain surged through his body, starting at the abdomen and moving to the rest of his body like a ripple. He felt as bones shattered in his ribcage, cracked in his pelvis, and shook through his entire body like poles in the winter. The vibration made rippled through his body tearing and injuring his organs, forcing him to spit blood.

How was this happening? Was she not dead? Did he not activate the trinket? Why does she have so much physical strength? Is she using Battle intent? But that can't be true, he doesn't see any battle intent, nor is she a warrior... But then how?

These were all questions running through his mind as he launched back. While yes, his bones might have fractured and his organs might have raptured, the healing effect quickly took effect, fixing all his injuries within the 30 seconds it took him to get up again.

"Oh? You can still stand?

" I asked standing in the same place as I was before. He had approximately 2 minutes left of his 'Titan's blessing', but it did not matter since I was still stronger even with his blessing.

The boy immediately dashed at me again, this time creating a few hand signs while muttering something under his breath.

'Oh? Magic... Cool.' I smiled at him.

The next moment he was already in the sky.

'When did he jump? Maybe I blinked...'

Shooting towards the ground like a meteor, he put his hand forward, freezing it right before hitting the ground

*BOOM*

Ice emerged from the crater he created, spreading out quickly and shooting out spikes of ice.

'Is he creating a domain? No, that is not possible... Wait, it is possible... Why don't I have any domain skills?' I sighed

Lighting of Absolution is a domain spell

'wow. You talked without me having to ask you anything... Awsome dude' I remarked inside my mind as the ice surrounded the entire backyard.

The boy stood tall on what looked like a 6-meter tall ice pillar in the middle of the domain. Countless ice pillars of different sizes and angles protruded from the ground, went into the sky, and fell back down onto the ground, creating the closest thing to an oval ice cage. As the boy stood in the middle, his Silvery cyan hair danced in the wind. His hair was not long, barely long enough to cover his eyes, while his sides were cut into a fade.

He wore a white cloak that danced in the wind, the same way his hair did, but they created flapping sounds every time they moved. His once Aqua blue eyes were now a bright snowy cyan, almost ice-colored eyes that shimmered in the light of the sun.

"STAND DOWN AND SUBMIT! YOU ARE NOT AS STRONG AS ME! IF YOU SUBMIT NOW I WILL TAKE YOU AS MY MAIN WIFE! DON'T SUBMIT AND I'LL HAVE TO TAME YOU THE OLD FASHIONED WAY

" His voice thundered and echoed in the surroundings, making many of spectators turn towards their smug parents in either disgust or anger.

"You sure do speak a lot for a 9-year-old... I wouldn't even think you would even know what sex is at your age

" I narrowed my eyes in both boredom and annoyance. How can people in this world be so... Disgusting?

"Sex?

" He raised a brow

'Oh, **...'

"whoops, my bad

" I laughed it off

"Stand down

" He did not care about what I had said, but instead repeated the two words he used earlier.

"You think your hot ** huh? But there is one thing you do before you command people...

"

I could see that I had gotten his attention, making me smirk towards his direction with my eyes showing spinning shields of David.

Unexpectedly the next moment, blue flames burst out of my body with a single thought. The parent's faces paled while the eldest son raised a brow at the scene.

'If he can create a domain this easily, why can't I?' I mused while the pale blue flames expanded outwards in every direction, swallowing the ice structures in a heartbeat.

'How?' Everyone but jack thought at the same time. In the same instant, blue flame pillars shot out of the ground, increasing the temperature of the surroundings even further.

'She didn't use a single chant or hand sign. She just used a domain skill too? Those are supposed to be family secrets and no one in her family has the flame ability. Elaina's family doesn't even have a person Domain spell, so the only explanation is if...'

"She just created a domain spell on her own

" Fachured spoke with horror filling his voice and his eyes threatening to pop out. Everyone looked at him as if he was crazy, but then it hit them. How are domain spells created? They are created when someone with superior control over mana and an element shoots out their mana and makes the battlefield advantageous for them. They then simplify their spell and put it into hand signs and chants for the future generation to use... But she did not use a single-hand sign, meaning...

Personal spell created

Personal spell has been added to the -Blue flames of symphony- series

Blue flames of symphony: Pheonix's nest

'You should learn your place' I thought, but as if the flames had a mind of their own, they whispered those words out, making everyone frown.. At the same time, the skies had started turning blue while all our neighbors walked outside to see what the commotion was.
