14 Chapter 14

The long-awaited day had finally arrived, and Ray and his companions stood poised to unleash their extraordinary combat skills upon the world.

Not to be forgotten, our dear friend Sora was also in attendance, radiating an air of quiet confidence. His presence alone sparked a sense of anticipation and curiosity among the gathered crowd.

"Ummmmm, looking just the same." Raqnid and Fat couldn't help but burst into laughter when seeing their friend Sora who just look the same as before even though he joining the Hero team.

While the Guardians and Supports positioned themselves strategically, akin to enthusiastic spectators at a grand sporting event, the assembly of Heroes, a formidable team of fourteen, prepared to showcase their talents after undergoing an intensive three-month training regimen.

The atmosphere crackled with energy as they faced off against the palace's revered champions, renowned for their unparalleled skills and unwavering resolve.

One by one, the member of the Heroes team stepped forward, each revealing their unique fighting style, honed through countless hours of training and the coveted titles they had earned. Their dazzling displays of strength and prowess left even King Alex astounded, exceeding his own lofty expectations for this extraordinary band of warriors.

As the day unfolded, a few lesser-known members of the Hero group took their turns, their stories not as widely recounted but their contributions no less significant in this unfolding saga.

Yet, the climax everyone had eagerly anticipated loomed large—the time for the five legendary figures, the true Heroes, had finally arrived.

But before their grand entrance, it was Sora's moment to captivate the audience with his mastery of magic. His opponent, an esteemed court sorcerer, was no ordinary foe. The anticipation was palpable as the bell rang, signaling the beginning of their epic duel.

Both Sora and the court sorcerer unleashed their formidable magical abilities, their clashes sending shockwaves through the arena. The intensity of their battle was palpable, the air crackling with raw energy as their spells collided in dazzling displays of power and precision.

Time seemed to stand still as the duel raged on for a breathtaking twenty minutes, far surpassing the brief encounters of the other member. Sora, an embodiment of grace and strength, proved himself a worthy adversary, matching the court sorcerer's every move with uncanny precision.

It was not by mere chance that Sora endured for such an extended period, his relentless determination rooted in his unique advantages. As a Four Elemental mage, his mastery over the four prime elements imbued him with unmatched versatility and potency. Unlike the First Elementals, whose mastery was confined to a single element, Sora effortlessly harnessed the powers of fire, water, earth, and air, seamlessly weaving them into his magical arsenal.

In contrast, the court sorcerer's dominion over only two elements left him vulnerable to Sora's cunning tactics, unable to counter the full breadth of his opponent's elemental prowess.

Yet, despite Sora's valiant efforts, his mana reserves eventually depleted, leaving him at the mercy of the court sorcerer's final assault. Defeat may have been Sora's outcome, but his tenacity and the dazzling display of his potential left an indelible mark on the minds of all who bore witness.

Now, with bated breath, the stage was set for the grand entrance of the five renowned Heroes, their destinies intertwined with the fate of this extraordinary world.
