Daliah was still at Tier One, and her elemental affinities were Air and Earth.
Ali looked at both Lilith and Daliah one last time, then raised his hand.
"Ready…
Go!"
The moment the word left his lips, both girls exploded from their positions.
Lilith used air magic to propel herself forward, while Daliah combined her internal energy with air to boost her speed.
Whoosh!
The distance between them vanished in an instant.
A sharp wind blade materialized in Lilith's right hand as she slashed forward with it.
But Daliah didn't panic.
Her left hand quickly formed an earthen barrier, catching the blade cleanly. At the same time, her right fist shot forward like a cannon.
"What the?!" Lilith's eyes widened. She hadn't expected such a swift counterattack.
But she didn't just stand there and take it.
Raising her left elbow, she deflected the punch with ease.
Both of them leapt back, resetting the distance.
The duel had truly begun.
