Still, the battle between the second strongest person from both sides was held on top of the water because Arba knew Ilareca could interfere with them had they fought on land.
Arba was standing in front of her with a solemn face.
"You have done a great job earlier." Ilareca smirked while squinting her eyes.
Arba knew what she was talking about and replied, "Your King was just too incompetent."
"There are a few things you are not supposed to say." Ilareca's expression became serious.
"Really? I am not afraid of anyone." Arba shook her head with a calm expression.
"Hoh! You aren't even afraid of your own king? I guess humanity will soon face another catastrophe when a person like you is not afraid of him."
"You do not understand my statement. There is no need to fear him because he's someone you can put trust in without instilling fear upon us. Unlike your king who has some sort of trust issues to the point you all need to fear him just to provide some security in his heart." Arba laughed.
"You're running your mouth." Ilareca was pissed off by her statement and raised her staff.
A huge humanoid body began to form above the water.
"Water Elemental." Ilareca waved her hand as the humanoid body raised its hands, forming a huge water ball.
"Unless you're underwater, you can't win against me." Arba snorted, staring at the water ball that soon flew toward her.
Arba simply raised her finger as a colossal barrier erected before her, dispersing all the water.
"I think you need to look around you." Ilareca smiled as she prepared another trick in the water.
However, Arba picked her trick up and snapped her fingers, forming a mighty gale that pushed the water away.
"Ehm, what are you talking about?"
"…" Ilareca squinted her eyes. She waved down her hand as the elemental followed her movement, trying to slap Arba.
The latter covered her fist with torrential wind and struck the giant hand.The wind then dispersed the water, ultimately obliterating the hand.
After that, Arba flew toward Ilareca and struck this 60 meters humanoid body.
The moment she hit the head, a tornado appeared and kept climbing down, dispersing all the water that formed the body.
However, Ilareca was still the strongest person after Neptune. She wouldn't go down without a fight.
Seeing Arba destroying the humanoid body, the water began to rise, forming a bigger body. This bigger body contained more Magic Power than she initially used to suppress the tornado inside, stopping the humanoid body from breaking apart.
Little did she know Arba's target was not the humanoid body. It was her.
Arba reappeared next to Ilareca and sent her fist.
However, torrential water that matched the velocity of the wind appeared next to her, forming a spherical barrier that stopped Arba's fist.
"I know you're going to do that." Ilareca smiled.
Arba glanced to the side and saw the water elemental had recovered and its fist was about to hit her. She hurriedly raised both hands and created a wind shield to block this fist.
The water elemental slammed her into the water, where Ilareca gained the advantage.
Surprisingly, Ilareca already swam around her with her mermaid tail. She thrust her staff and formed a huge water tornado that engulfed Arba. magic
"As I said, I'm stronger than you." Arba snorted and clasped her hands together.
Suddenly, a small wind sphere appeared in front of her. The sphere continued to expand rapidly and turned into a tornado that blew the water away from her, creating a gap without water in this artificial sea.
Arba used that chance to fly up, avoiding the tornado as she watched how the sea returned to normal.
After that, Ilareca and Arba thought the same thing as they both raised their hands in unison.
Ilareca formed two water tornadoes that rose to the sky while Arba summoned two wind tornadoes to counter her.
This clash created rain for them as they seemed to have an endless supply of Magic Power to continue for a long time.
Not wanting to waste her time, Arba flew down while gathering the wind around her foot.
She kicked the water and dispersed the wind, creating another small gap through the water until she reached Ilareca.
Ilareca tried to block her kick with her staff, but Arba's aim turned out to be her staff.
She kicked that staff, launching her into the air. Then, she followed her and made the battlefield back in the air. After coming out of the water, Ilareca snapped her finger while looking at Arba, who also just left.
A giant hand, made of water, rose and grasped her, trying to bring her back into the water.
Arba gritted her teeth and spun her body, enhancing the wind around her body to create a small gale to break free from this water.
"Waterfall." Ilareca raised her staff as the elemental spurted the water inside his body to Arba.
"Tsk." Arba used her wind to launch her away, barely avoiding the high-pressured water from the elemental.
She returned to her original position while Ilareca clasped her hands.
The elemental followed her movement and crushed Arba with both hands, but the latter managed to form a spherical wind barrier that ultimately created a hole in the elemental's hands.
Looking at her arrogant eyes, Ilareca said, "Hmph. You're too arrogant. I will put you in your place."
"That's something I should say, brat." Arba snorted.
"I am older than you." Ilareca waved her staff down. "I am going to show you my real power."
Suddenly, two more water elementals rose, surrounding Arba.
"You won't get away from this." Ilareca squinted her eyes while releasing her killing intent, planning to kill Arba right now.
Arba only smiled when he heard those words. "This is why greenhorn is bad."
Her body was covered with the wind as she raised both hands.
"I can't do it well, but I think I can make a small one."
Suddenly, Ilareca raised her vision and saw the cloud on top of them begin to spin before forming a tornado.
"What? Impossible. You can't create a natural disaster." Ilareca was shocked because the Protectors were supposed to be the only ones who could create something like this.
She hurriedly asked all elementals to hit Arba with their hands.
Unfortunately, everything was too late. The tornado already reached them and engulfed Arba in the process.
That was when she realized Arba covering her body with the wind was to make herself invulnerable against the mighty wind.
And this tornado continued until it reached the surface of the water before expanding, devouring all the elementals, including her.
Ilareca covered her body with a water sphere and barely avoided getting thrown away. She looked left and right, realizing none of her elementals survived.
"You." Ilareca gritted her teeth and observed the situation. They were inside the tornado that acted as a barrier to their surroundings. At the same time, she noticed there was no wind in this area.
"If you disrupt the tornado…" She thought about an interesting thing, but Arba already knew about it and reappeared in front of Ilareca, hitting her face.
"I already know that, brat. Just go back!" Arba punched her face without using her wind to avoid breaking the barrier apart.. Still, her strength was enough to break her nose's bone and knock her back to the water.
