…
Baold and Lancelot were staring at each other. Baold was a grandmaster of inscription while Lancelot wanted to challenge him with his fire.
Both of them remained still for a moment before the ground started to shake as the essence leaked out of their bodies.
Baold raised his hand as a dim blue light shone at the tip of his fingertips. He made a simple few strokes that formed an inscription.
The inscription released a bolt of essence that went straight toward Lancelot. It wasn't as powerful as everyone imagined, but people like Victoria or Theo could sense the trick within this bolt.
If Lancelot burned this bolt, he would actually release the second bolt from within. It even carried a greater concentration.
Hence, Lancelot had to avoid it, considering Baold couldn't shift the direction due to the difference in concentration.
Surprisingly, Lancelot actually formed a small fire on top of his palm and sent it forward. The flame was floating calmly, as if it wasn't disturbed by the wind.
However, the moment the fire and the bolt clashed, both of them erupted at the same time. The fire burned the bolt's outer layer, which would release an explosion.
But the blast from the fire was so powerful that it engulfed that explosion.
Boom!
The two explosions had just shown that Lancelot had seen through the trick, which sent a message not to underestimate him. He had become skilled enough to fight his grandfather.
Without hesitation, Lancelot raised both hands as a few fire pillars emerged from the ground. With a wave of his right hand, these pillars bounced on the ground like snakes, heading straight to Baold.
Baold smiled and leaped back as if he wanted to gain some distance. During that chase, Baold formed another inscription.
This inscription duplicated itself and pinched the flame pillars from above and below.
"Disappear!"
The moment the inscription was activated, it produced a torrential essence that messed up with the essence flowing within the flame. As a result, the flame pillars disappeared without a trace.
If this was Lancelot from a few months ago, it would be the end of it. However, if one looked closely, they would notice that the flame pillars didn't disappear completely.
A minuscule blaze still remained as they gradually fused with each other, igniting together.
"Re-Blaze." Lancelot waved his hand from the bottom as a huge blaze sparked and turned into a massive pillar. It engulfed the inscription and melted it.
After that, Lancelot controlled this massive pillar to bend toward Baold.
"Impressive." Baold smiled. He couldn't produce the inscription fast enough because he expected that the previous inscription was enough.
Hence, Baold leaped to the side while forming a new inscription. This time, the inscription was like a shield that blocked the incoming fire pillar.
In fact, the moment the fire pillar touched this inscription, it suddenly broke apart.
Lancelot tried to use the Re-Blaze to reignite it, but Baold had predicted such a thing. The moment the pillar flared up, the inscription changed its use and deflected that blaze.
"!!!" Lancelot widened his eyes. This blaze that flew toward him reminded him of that blaze that engulfed his house.
He could still remember vividly the fear of his own fire. Even worse was the look on his sister's and mother's faces after that incident. It almost broke him, but both of them ended up supporting him again.
And currently, they were watching him from the stand.
Lancelot took a deep breath, calming himself down even though the blaze was right before him.

When it was about to swallow him, Lancelot raised both hands and turned this giant pillar into a rising phoenix.
The phoenix let out a cry to announce its presence and flew toward Baold. The latter formed the same inscription to block it, but the phoenix skillfully looped around the inscription and went straight directly toward Baold.
"You've improved a lot." Baold couldn't help but smile. It looked like Lancelot had truly overcome his trauma.
Still, he had to test it one more time. He actually let the phoenix hit him and swallowed him.
Boom!
The phoenix turned into a massive explosion and formed a sphere that incinerated everything inside it.
"Grandfather (Father)!" His mother and sister let out a cry, worried that Baold would get hurt just like what had happened in the past.
Yet Lancelot didn't recall his flame, not because he didn't want to, but because he knew Baold was fine.
Baold was trying to see if his family member got engulfed by his flame; would he hesitate?
With this action, Baold could finally put his worry to rest.
A few inscriptions emerged from within the flame and dispersed the fire in all directions.
Everything had been blasted away, so it would be impossible for Lancelot to fuse them together again.
Little did he know, Lancelot had been preparing something else after knowing Baold would be fine.
"Incinerate!"
"Ah. This…" Baold looked at the floor as a red magic circle formed.
Boom!
The blast was so quick and powerful that it actually launched Baold to the other side of the arena, with his body bouncing several times on the ground.
They wanted to worry about Baold, but the latter managed to stabilize his form and slide on the ground, which allowed him to stop instead of crashing into the wall.
Baold waved his left hand, which actually formed an inscription underneath Lancelot's feet.
"!!!" Lancelot lowered his vision and saw chains emerging from the inscription, binding his wrists and ankles.
He hurriedly summoned his flame to melt them, but Baold created inscriptions in rapid succession.
In just one second of confusion, an inscription appeared on top of Lancelot's head. This inscription gave birth to an even bigger one above it and repeated it three times.
"Five Layers of Restriction."
With the chain inscription as the base, the inscription created a translucent pillar that bound the space itself, restricting and isolating Lancelot inside.
