Chapter 999: A match between friends (3) - Call it a draw

The break in their fighting lasted no longer than their taunting. As soon as Eldrian had countered Vivian's question, she had charged him again. 

Eldrian, having expected this, did not meet her charge. He was now fully intending to use all the magic at his disposal to stop her mobility. To this end, he cast three spells at once. 

The first was two blasts of wind heading toward one another, with Vivian in the middle. Each was strong enough to send an adult flying. They were more like shockwaves than gusts. 

Following the wind blasts, he added wind blades, and, for if Vivian managed to deal with these attacks, Eldrian turned the ground between them into a quagmire. 

Yet, all three spells seemed inadequate. Vivian countered the wind blasts by strengthening her flames. The heat from them caused an updraft which sent Eldrian's spells off course.
