The Medallion

Seeing the Glint Phoenix's strong power, Mia turned serious. She jumped high in the air after blocking Erica's attack.

At the same time, the Scarlet Flame Dragon dived down and Mia landed on it. Then the Scarlet Flame Dragon spouted out fierce flame to Erica.

To escape the flame, Erica quickly dodged to one side.

Mia took the chance shouting coldly, "Flaming Wind!" To burst out the spiritual force, she raised her left hand, summoning a fierce whirlwind that carried the flame which the Dragon had spouted out. The fire quickly spread all over the battleground, blocking Erica's way out.

The move showed Mia's superior skill in manipulating the dragon. Incredibly well, she could bond her own power with that of the dragon.

Everyone cheered at her fantastic attack.

"The girl is really powerful. Maybe, she's only a tad less lethal than General Gorgeous," Rocky murmured to himself as he watched their fight. But his face grew solemn when he saw Erica's odd reaction.

Erica, who was surrounded by the flame, stood still and did not try to dodge. Instead, as the fire got closer, she burst out a light shield, similar to what the Glint Phoenix had burst. When the volley hit on the light shield, it immediately bounced back towards Mia.

Mia had not seen that coming, but she manipulated her dragon to sidestep.

With a loud boom, the field erupted into a cloud of fire and dust.

The fight intensified with every passing minute.
