  Lucius, with his sword in hand, faced Amphisbaena with unwaveriermination. The heads of the aquatic dragon moved in a coordinated manner, approag and analyzing the challenging human before them. The eg roar filled the space, reverberating through the cavernous stones of the dungeon.

  "Prepare yourself, Amphisbaena. You're about to face a mage like you've never seen before," Lucius said, his gaze focused on the dragon's heads. Using the "Mana Zone" ability, Lucius felt the atmosphere pulsating around him, ready to be employed strategically.

  Without further ado, Amphisbaena took the first a, ung into an attack with surprising agility for a creature of its size. Its heads advanced, each with its owory i. Lucius skillfully dodged the attacks, showg the agility and sharp reflexes of a level 4 with the evasion spell.

  Lucius's sword cut through the air, entering the resistant scales of Amphisbaena. He utilized the "Mana Zone," eling magical energy around his bde to intensify the impact of the strike, infused with lightning magic. The collision geed sparks, indig the flict between human magical power and the resistance of the aquatic dragon.

  As the battle unfolded, Riveria and Tiona observed attentively, their expressions refleg a mix of and admiration. Lucius's audacity in fag the formidable Amphisbaena alone challehe expectations of any adventurer in Orario.

  However, Lucius frohe aquatic dragon without fear or hesitation, fag the immi challenge directly with his lightning-ed sword. The boldness of the level 2 mage trasted with the giant form and palpable threat of Amphisbaena. The serpent heads of the creature moved in a coordinated manner, analyzing the challenging human before them.

  Despite Lucius's fierce determination against his oppo, Amphisbaena was far from an easy adversary. It reacted swiftly, unleashing pressurized water jets toward Lucius. The ford speed of the attacks were impressive, a demonstration of the formidable power of the dragon. Lucius could rely only on the newly unlocked ability, the "Mana Zone," which roving to be a valuable tool.

  Because the "Mana Zone" allowed Lucius to anticipate the dragon's movements, elevating his magical seo araordinary level, he could foresee the specific magics vibrating in the air.

Every move of Amphisbaena became predictable to Lucius, allowing him to dodge with the grace of a dancer, a perfect synizatioween magid agility with his quick evasion spell.

  Tiona, witnessing Lucius's agility, couldn't tain her surprise. "He's much faster for a level 2!" she excimed, impressed with the mage's dexterity against the dragon's attacks. Even Riveria, experienced as she was, reized the disparity between Lucius's current agility and his previous abilities.

  "No, he's much faster than in that fight against Bete, and that's sidering he was already above the agility of level 2. The more I see him evolve, the more he surprises me," analyzed Riveria with some surprise.

  As the battle unfolded, it became a chaotice between the fiery fmes ariergy unleashed by Lucius and the magical waves emanating from Amphisbaena with its water jets. He tested the monster's resilieh energy and fire when he cast fireballs with just a pointed hand, signaling an evolution in his teiques. However, the aquatic dragon was relentless, unleashing furious attacks against Lucius while the fire from the fireballs proved ineffit.

  Despite his exceptional magic, the level 2 mage faced difficulties against the overwhelming power of the monster. Easught from Amphisbaena was apanied by a force that tested the limits of Lucius's abilities. The dragon's resiliend its ability to adapt to Lucius's strategies added a yer of plexity to the battle, requiring the mage to stantly adjust his approaatch the formidable oppo.

  Deg to vary his tactics, Lucius summoned a series of Rank 3 Firebolts, multiplying the iy of his attack to distract the creature with a smokes. The corridor echoed with the sound of explosions and fmes, but Amphisbaena seemed uhe serpent heads of the creature writhed in response, ung aquatic attacks to dispel the fire.

  Seeing that the fire and water created a vapor curtain heless, Lucius took advantage of this time to reinforce his abilities. He cast upon himself the Support Spell/Strength Booster and Support Spell/Speed Booster, increasing both his strength and agility by 10%. With Alteration Spell/EbonyFlesh, the temporary enhas were replenished, allowing him to return to the battle with enhanced agility, strength, and defense.

  Seizing the opportunity where Amphisbaena had not fully emerged from the vapor, Lucius decided to intensify his strategy. trating his magical energy, he activated the Gravitational Spell/Minravitational Field Rank 3. The moment the spell took effect, aremely dense gravitational field materialized, exerting a force five times greater than normal gravity within a 5-meter radius around the dragon.

  Amphisbaena, suddenly subjected to intense gravitational pressure, tried to resist the effects of the magic. Its serpent heads writhed, showing the struggle against the overwhelming force pulling them downward. the dragon's rea, Lucius glimpsed a strategic opportunity.

  With surprising agility, Lucius triggered the Space Spell/Quick Dodge Rank 3. In the blink of an eye, he teleported a few meters to the side, narrowly esg an immi attack from Amphisbaena, which couldn't adjust its movements quickly enough due to the increased gravity.

  Seizing the opening, Lucius eled his magito the Lightning Spell/Thunder, charging it with additional power from the Mana Zone he absorbed from the atmosphere. Lucius's palm glowed intensely as he directed the precise attack at one of Amphisbaena's necks.

  The impact was moal. The resounding sound of the lightning striking its prey echoed across the ke, creating a cacophony remi of a mighty thuorm. Amphisbaena, momentarily stunned by the trated electrical discharge, showed a visible rea of pain. One of its necks bled, indig that Lucius had mao breach its defeh this dispy.

  "He mao wound one of the necks!" Tiona excimed in surprise, witnessing Amphisbaena r in pain as its neck bled.

  "But this fight is far from over..." Riveria analyzed.

  Ihe battle was far from cluded. Amphisbaena, wounded and furious, prepared a powerful terattack. Lucius, in a dispy of bravery and sagacity, eled his energies to unleash his boldest spell, c the ground with traps and waited.

  A lightning explosion ed the corridor, creating a shockwave that reverberated through the dungeon floors. The oute of the battle hung in the air as the lightning dissipated while Amphisbaena was beirocuted.

  "That stung a bit, didn't it, little dragon..." Lucius taunted with a smile, admiring the visual spectacle and the result of his magic. Amphisbaena's response was a deafening roar, a challeo the resilience of the mage who dared to face the formidable aquatic dragon.

  The electrical sparks tio dance around Amphisbaena, whose eyes reflected a mixture of pain and fury. However, the creature did not retreat; instead, it prepared for an even more devastating terattack.

  *Crack*He fell against one of the walls o the ke, losing his sword into the water. Lucius got up and saw the dragon movilessly toward him. He quickly muttered his spell, then began to heal, anticipating his oppo's approad preparing to unch more lightning at the adversary.

  "Lightning Spell/Thunder!""Lightning Spell/Thunder!"

  He cast his lightning so quickly that not even Amphisbaena could react, being hit by the strike while ier, causing more damage as the electrical force traveled through the area.
