Chapter 484 World-class Duel
With Evan's movements, the fireballs ruthlessly struck Caresius.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The huge fireballs kept pounding the ground, causing the entire stadium to tremble violently under the brutal impact.
It was like an earthquake. Everyone's bodies trembled, barely able to stand upright.
Just when everyone thought it was over, the next second, a wave of heat hit them head-on, and they all began to sweat instantly, feeling dizzy and suffocated.
It was as if they were in the crater of a volcano, not far from the bubbling magma lake.
The volcano was erupting, and the temperature was rising!
All they could see was an intense white light flashing before them, unable to see anything clearly.
They subconsciously closed their eyes, as if in a trance, feeling as if the world had become unreal.
Evan raised his wand high and stood alone in the front line.
Under the effect of his own powerful magic, his slender body was violently shaken. He felt his arms and legs drift apart, as if they were about to be torn apart.
Evan quickly cast a spell, and an outstanding magical shield emerged out of thin air, protecting him and everyone behind him.
The next second, the tip of the wand he held high emitted a golden flame, one that advanced tirelessly, as if it would advance forever.
Evan increased his magical output. He never expected to eliminate Caresius with just a mud pit and a few fireballs. He could sense that only the first of those fireballs had hit the vampire.
The instant the fireball touched him, Caresius broke free from his magical control and vanished.
Evan didn't know where he had moved in a blink, so he could only expand his range of attack.
Flames swirled around him in the enclosure, tinting everything orange.
In this world of flames, the body of a fire beast was gradually taking shape. It was the fire dragon, the most terrifying magical creature!
Its tail slammed heavily on the ground, flapped its wings, and spewed blazing flames around. It roared, writhed, and devoured everything it could touch in the small enclosure.
Everything was burning, and even the walls started to melt.
The dark rocks and steel turned red, producing alarming sounds. They collapsed and melted, turning into crystalline fragments and falling like liquid.
Nothing could be spared, except those under the protection of Evan's shield.
The magic of this shield was the only thing that could repel this Cursed Fire.
Behind Evan, everyone stared at him in amazement, witnessing the horrifying scene of desolation outside the shield.
No one thought Evan truly possessed such powerful magic, and no one thought he had enough magical power to make ordinary flames so terrifying.
This was not just a matter of quantity but a qualitative change.
The ordinary flames had transformed into fierce hellfires.
In their opinion, Caresius must be toast. No one could survive in those flames.
Evan stirred up such a commotion that wizards throughout the stadium were watching this incredible battle.
All eyes were on this, and the chaotic situation below gradually subsided. Everyone seemed terrified by Evan's magic.
After Caresius entered the enclosure, the vampires who had been causing chaos stopped using magic and hid.
Their mission to cover for Caresius had been accomplished, and now they were retreating.
This was actually quite simple. They just needed to remove their masks and cloaks and blend in with the crowd fleeing the stadium.
As for the remaining wizards taking advantage of the chaos to start robbing those around them, they were quickly neutralized.
The Ministry of Magic's Aurors regained control of the situation, and now everyone gazed at Evan and his magic in the enclosure; everyone awaited the outcome of this battle.
Under the spotlights, everything happening there was crystal clear.
If that day's Quidditch final was world-class, so was the duel between Evan and Caresius.
The level of this duel was absolutely top-notch, and it was bound to be the highest-ranked recorded duel in recent years.
Indeed, since the epic battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the magical world had not witnessed such gladiatorial conflicts.
In particular, Evan's latest Fiendfyre was enough to leave a mark on the hearts of the 100,000 spectators below.
"God, that young man is truly a prodigy!" exclaimed someone, "What kind of magic is this?"
"Is it Fiendfyre?"
"I don't know, but it's so potent. I have never witnessed such powerful fire magic before."
"What is the name of that boy?" someone inquired.
If they had a Hogwarts student nearby, they would know his name was Evan Mason!
Even Evan's age challenged the fragile nerves of the onlookers.
No one could believe that he was only 13 years old this year, which seemed impossible!
As for Evan's previous feats, they spread throughout the stadium almost instantaneously.
Despite the presence of up to 100,000 people here, the news spread at an extraordinary speed, even faster than the panic that had spread a moment ago!
Everyone could recognize that another genius, another prodigy, had emerged.
This was the first time something like this had happened in recent decades since Voldemort.
Evan did not expect this battle to bring him countless admirers and spread his name worldwide. In fact, he did not hear any of those below.
He controlled the release of his magic, and a slight premonition arose within him.
He felt his magic rapidly diminishing, as if it were being absorbed by something.
"Enough!"
The next second, a deep voice suddenly sounded.
This seemed to be a signal, and a vortex resembling a black hole appeared where Caresius had vanished.
The golden-red flames were swiftly engulfed, and not even the powerful dragon escaped.
Evan's magic proved ineffective against Caresius, who began to counterattack.
A few seconds later, all the flames disappeared, leaving only ashes and ruins as evidence of their existence.
The figure of Caresius reappeared, looking unusually perturbed.
The black cloak he had been wearing was scorched, and he tossed it aside.
He seemed genuinely enraged and did not mind showing his face.
His initially handsome and sinister visage was covered in black smoke, and his deep red eyes were fixed on Evan.
"A very intriguing magic you possess, you have great potential and are qualified to be my opponent," said Caresius seriously. "Well, we better not waste time. You know, that man is watching us from below!"
