Chapter 588 Please Begin Your Performance
“Waaah! That was awesome!”
“So that’s what a great magic caster is capable of. Amazing!”
“Even I want to learn magic now! It’s like that phoenix is alive; this is incredible!”
All of the customers looked up into the sky as the phoenix performed all types of complex and stunning aerobatic tricks.
“That’s awesome…” Jessica’s mouth was wide open. She then turned to Amy with a curious expression, and asked, “Amy, can you also cast such an awesome spell?”
“I can’t summon the big red bird yet, but Master told me that he’ll teach me in the future. I’ll show it to you when I master it.” Amy shook her head in response, but her expression was full of confidence.
“I believe in you, Amy.” Jessica nodded with a serious expression. She also had full confidence in Amy.
“Hmph, nice party trick.” Urien harrumphed coldly. He waved his black wand gently through the air, upon which a giant Frost Dragon over 10 meters in length appeared, seemingly out of the air. The dragon spread open its wings and hurtled toward the phoenix, sweeping up gusts of frosty wind that had the onlookers trembling uncontrollably.
“I was hoping you’d do that!” Krassu was not flustered in the slightest as he waved his staff through the air. The phoenix overhead also grew drastically, expanding to over 10 meters in length. It let loose a loud crisp cry as it charged directly toward the giant Frost Dragon.
The silver Frost Dragon and scorching red phoenix engaged in a showdown at an altitude of several dozens of meters. The entire sky was transformed into a vast expanse of red and silver as a result of their clash.
All of the customers below the stage looked on with their mouths agape in awe and amazement.
Brandli and the Gray Temple personnel were also looking on from afar with tense expressions on their faces. These two devastatingly powerful troublemakers had finally settled down for a while, and they thought that the moon festival celebration would pass by in peace and harmony, but who would have thought they would suddenly clash again? They could only hope that the two of them were only going to have a light spar rather than a full-blown battle. Otherwise, no one would be able to control the situation.
Just as the phoenix and the giant dragon were about to clash, the two of them dodged slightly to the side simultaneously, and their wings scraped past one another. Fire and ice splattered through the air, creating a dazzling light.
The sparks from that glancing clash heralded the commencement of the true battle. The giant dragon and phoenix seemed to be dancing in the sky as they crashed into each other over and over again. Scintillating lights erupted with every single clash as the two massive creatures performed all types of highly complex maneuvers in the air. It was as if this were a real battle between a giant dragon and a phoenix, and all of the spectators down below were thoroughly enthralled.
During the clashes, the exemplary magical control that a great magic caster possessed was demonstrated for all to see. Krassu and Urien truly were the most powerful fire and ice magic caster, respectively. These were merely spells that they had casually unleashed for entertainment, but they were already far beyond what anyone else present was capable of.
“Looks like this is only a sparring match. There’s no need to call for reinforcements.” Brandli heaved a sigh of relief after arriving at that conclusion.
Mag also heaved a sigh of relief as he stood beside the stage. The relationship between these two rivals had been relatively harmonious of late, and they had worked together to craft a wand for Amy. However, the origins of their bad blood could be traced back to over a century ago, and they were like dormant volcanoes that could erupt at any moment. Thankfully, they appeared to be only showing off their skills as opposed to actually engaging in a serious battle, so there was no need for concern.
The phoenix and giant dragon clashed one last time in mid-air before exploding into scorching red flames and silver ice crystals. It was if someone had set off many fireworks at once, and the spectacular display lit up the night sky.
“Hmph!” Krassu and Urien both harrumphed coldly. Neither of them was willing to admit defeat, but they had no intention of continuing, either.
“That was extraordinary! To think that I just witnessed a battle between two 10th-tier great magic casters; I can boast about this for the rest of my life!”
A burst of raucous cheers instantly erupted below the stage. The marvelous showdown between the two great magic casters had set the entire scene alight.
“Master Krassu and Master Urien are so powerful.” Amy looked on with a reverent expression, wondering when she would become just as powerful as them.
“Thank you, Master Krassu and Master Urien, for that spectacular display. Please accept these two gift boxes of mooncakes.” Mag made his way over to Krassu and Urien with a smile on his face while carrying two gift boxes.
“I only want bacon-flavored mooncakes. Don’t give me anything else.” Krassu shook his head at the sight of the gift boxes in Mag’s hands, which contained eight different flavors of mooncakes.
“I only want sweet bean paste mooncakes; don’t give me anything else.” Urien also followed Krassu’s lead as he turned to Krassu with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Alright, I’ll swap out all of the other ones.” Mag nodded and did as he was told.
After Krassu and Urien accepted the gift boxes of mooncakes, the entire scene fell silent again. With such an amazing performance setting a precedent, even the ones who were intending to get onstage were too embarrassed to do so.
Right at that moment, a coarse booming voice sounded. “Boss Mag, can we also perform a dance?”
Everyone turned around, only to discover that it was Sargeras who had made the request, and they were all rather taken aback.
“Of course you can.” Mag was also a little surprised. He didn’t think that Sargeras would be the first one to break the silence. He was also wondering what kind of dance they were going to perform. Just the thought of six burly lava demons dancing onstage was sending chills running down his spine.
“Alright, we’ll do our best, then.” Sargeras rubbed his bald head with a bashful smile as he made his way over to the stage. Kiel, Mond, and the others also put down their rucksacks and followed behind Sargeras with their heads bowed as if they were slightly embarrassed.
“What dance are you going to perform?” Mag asked. All of the spectators were also very interested to hear the answer to that question.
After all, what kind of dance could six lava demons possibly perform?
“I don’t know what we’re going to perform, either,” Sargeras replied with an apologetic smile.
“Err…” Mag didn’t know what to make of that response. “Alright, please begin your performance.” Mag nodded and vacated the stage. The two spotlights shone down on them from above.
“Ha!”
Sargeras stepped forward and let loose a loud roar. His expression became serious and reverent as he slowly raised his right hand. A ball of reddish-golden flames rose up from his hand as if he were carrying a torch. The flames flowed down along his arms, lighting up a series of reddish-golden lava veins on his body. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a fire golem.
