The most powerful wizard in the magic world

The palms of Gados' hands were slightly sweaty, and the magic item glowed faintly in his palms. He stood there, his body somewhat stiff, and his heart was full of anxiety about the upcoming duel. This battle was not accidental, it was a contest between him and the black-clothed apprentice, as if it was destined to happen.

"Gados, are you ready?" The black-clothed apprentice's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the abyss of darkness, making people shudder. Although he was only a third-class apprentice, his aura was as terrifying as thunder.

"I... I'm ready," Gados responded, but his voice seemed pale and weak, almost blown away by the wind. His eyes were fixed on the face of the black-clothed apprentice, trying to find a hint of weakness, but the other's expression was as elusive as the black windbreaker.

"Don't be so nervous. Today you will understand what absolute power is." The black-clothed apprentice smiled contemptuously, with electric light faintly flashing in his hands. His aura suddenly increased, and the air around him seemed to become tense because of his arrival.

"Your lightning magic is powerful, but I'm not weak either." Gados clenched his fists, trying to make himself look firm. His magic item emitted a faint glow at this time, as if to cheer him up.

"The magic item is just a decoration in your hands." The black-clothed apprentice slowly approached, and every step seemed to step on Gados's heart. Gados felt an invisible sense of oppression in his chest, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

"I will prove to you that I am not the person you think." Gados tried to make his voice sound more confident, although he was secretly worried that it would not be easy to fight against the black-clad apprentice.

"Okay, then come on." A hint of teasing flashed in the black-clothed apprentice's eyes, and he didn't give Gados any extra time. With a low roar, he suddenly pushed his palm forward, and violent lightning instantly gathered in the air and attacked Gados directly.

Gados dodged to the side almost subconsciously, and a panic surged in his heart. He knew he had to fight back. "Lightning shield!" He thought, and the magic item in his hand immediately reacted to form a protective barrier. The electric current collided in the air instantly, making a deafening roar.

"See, we spent a lot of effort, but it was all in vain." The black-clothed apprentice raised a mocking smile and approached quickly like the incarnation of thunder and lightning.

Gados tried his best to keep the shield stable. He desperately injected energy into the magic item, but found that his power was decreasing rapidly. The feeling of being suppressed made him even more anxious. This opponent was much stronger than he expected.

"Gados! Is this all your strength?" The black-clad apprentice's voice was like a mocking knife, piercing Gados' heart mercilessly.

"I will never give up!" Gados roared, concentrating all his strength on the shield. He knew he couldn't retreat now, he had to fight.

"Then let me shake off your confidence." The black-clothed apprentice shouted angrily, raised his hands high, lightning flashed at his fingertips, and the whole space seemed to be enveloped by this power. He launched a fatal attack on Gados, and a huge thunder roared.

Gados' heart tightened, and he wanted to strengthen the shield again, but the merciless thunder suppressed every bit of his strength. The shield was torn apart in an instant, accompanied by a sharp sound of electricity, and his body was pushed several meters away by the shock wave and fell heavily to the ground.

"Is this your limit?" the black-clad apprentice asked coldly, as if examining a trapped prey.

"I won't give up!" Gados gritted his teeth and tried his best to get up from the ground, his fighting spirit never extinguished. He knew that giving up would mean failure, which was not the outcome he wanted.

"Then continue. I want to see how long you can hold on." The black-clad apprentice had no intention of stopping. He gathered his aura again, and lightning and thunder intertwined into a terrifying light and shadow behind him.

"Lightning strike!" At this moment, Gados' mind moved, and the magic item in his hand emitted a dazzling light. He also tried to accumulate energy and use the spells he was familiar with to fight back.

"Hmph, the trick you used just now is useless to me, and this one is no different!" The black-clothed apprentice seemed to be nonchalant, but his eyes flashed with disdain. With a wave of his hand, lightning surrounded Gados again, as if to devour him.

"I won't let you succeed!" Gados panted, trying to gather his energy to the highest point. The flames and lightning intertwined, forming a strange flash that rushed towards the black-clothed apprentice.

The fierce battle caused the surrounding air to vibrate, and the outline of magic flickered on the ground, tearing each other's power apart. Lightning and fire collided in the air, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"It's a pity, your efforts are in vain at this moment." The black-clothed apprentice was slightly stunned, and then sneered. He knew that with such a huge disparity in power, Gados's counterattack was simply a drop in the bucket.

"I will not give up the faith in my heart!" Gados took the opportunity to fly up, trying to avoid the lightning attack and looking for a chance to counterattack. He knew that his strength was not enough, but he always held an unyielding faith in his heart.

The black-clothed apprentice noticed Gados's persistence, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Then the lightning in his hand became stronger again, making a sharp sound, and went straight towards Gados.

"If you still want to continue struggling, I will make you completely despair!" The black-clothed apprentice showed no mercy and released all his strength in an instant, sweeping over like a violent storm.

Gados' heart sank. He knew that he was powerless to fight back against such an attack and could only fight with all his strength. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his strength. The magic item in his hand once again emitted a strong light.

"Come on, try my strength!" Gados gritted his teeth and rushed towards the black-clothed apprentice, as if he was full of indomitable will.

"What a ridiculous resistance!" The black-clothed apprentice snorted coldly, focusing the lightning in his hand and preparing for the final blow. At the moment when the two were about to collide, a strange light flashed in Gados's eyes, which was a combination of confidence and determination.

As the two's strength collided, a dazzling light burst out in the air, as if the fire of hope had been rekindled. Despite the disparity in strength, Gados relied on his tenacious perseverance to continuously challenge the limits of the black-clad apprentice.

At this moment, the black-clad apprentice also realized that he had underestimated Gados's determination and belief. Although Gados was a third-class apprentice, his fearless and courageous attitude could not be underestimated.
