As Luna launched her Aerial Gale strike, strong winds swept through the region. Regrettably, the outcomes did not meet her expectations.

The Aerial Gale couldn't shake away the mist-like aura in the region. In fact, the mist had condensed even more, and Luna could no longer sense Aria's location.

This mist had completely shrouded Aria's location from Luna's senses.

Soon, Aria's voice resounded in the mist, "This attack is slightly different since the last time you faced it."

Aria had utilized this attack against Luna. But it was so long ago that Luna couldn't recall it right now.

At that moment, Luna had effortlessly swept this mist with a wave of her hand.

.

Aria's mist was the first technique she had devised on her own. When she observed how this method couldn't even beat her opponent, she vowed to improve it to the point where it could subdue her.

The day would come when this technique emerges to be the deciding factor in her opponent's loss.

And Aria felt that this day was today. Luna was trapped in her Mist. Her attack to sweep away this mist wouldn't work.

In reality, when Luna utilized her Wind Ardor to sweep away her mist, she was gathering the wind currents in the surroundings to push away her mist.

For that, the wind current and Aria's mist would come in contact.

Now, this was where Aria played smartly. She condensed her Icy Aura on the circumference of the mist's area where the wind would come into contact with it.

As soon as the wind comes into contact with the mist, the water particles in it would be cooled to the point of becoming part of this mist.

Naturally, there were massive defects of this mist as well. Flames were one of its biggest adversaries.

Aria had used this technique against Christina multiple times, but it never worked. No matter how many times she changed it, she realized it was a core issue of her element, and there was no point in trying to correct it.

Another disadvantage of this technique was that it couldn't be used in a dry atmosphere. The surroundings had to be a bit humid so that it could display its usability.

However, for this technique to display its complete potential, it had to be used during the winter season.

At that time, it would become like a battle formation, and once a warrior entered it. It would be impossible for the warrior to leave without Aria's consent. Naturally, this was only for a warrior of Aria's caliber.

This technique wouldn't be effective if Aria's opponent was someone like Noah, who possessed Sword Domain or Azaroth, who could see through this mist's creation or possessed flame element, and so on.

There were still many issues with this technique, but she was satisfied with it for now. She could suppress her opponent and finally defeat her.

"Brilliant Arctic Spear!" This was a magnificent spear that held a lot of Aria's Ardor.

This Spear continued to enlarge as Aria empowered it with her Ardor. Soon, it was larger than Aria in terms of height.

Aria also raised her other hand to control the Ice Element near Luna's body. Since Luna was within this mist, it was easier for Aria to use Ice Element near her body.

Thin branches of pure Ice coiled around Luna's legs and held her at that spot.

This would prevent Luna from dodging Aria's attack. Another advantage was that Aria couldn't change her posture to utilize another attack. Thus, it would prevent Luna from actually countering this Brilliant Arctic Spear.

Aria threw her Brilliant Arctic Spear at Luna once she felt that it was strong enough.

It had to be known that she couldn't keep Luna trapped in those thin Ice Branches for a long time.

She was expending a lot of her Ardor to keep those Ice Branches up to constrict Luna. Then she further infused her Ardor into the Brilliant Arctic Spear. Then she also had to maintain this mist.

These three techniques were so Ardor exhausting that Aria knew she could fight like this for a couple of minutes. After that, she would be completely out of her Ardor.

Luna struggled to get her legs out of those Ice Branches. But unfortunately, getting out of them was not an easy task. Even when she utilized a lot of her Ardor to cut those Ice Branches or break them, they would recreate immediately and trap her feet.

In fact, Luna stopped struggling as she realized that even if she could break these Ice Branches, she didn't have anywhere else to go.

Aria's mist was visible all over her vision. This technique could imprison her no matter where she stood in this mist.

So, there was actually no point in actually breaking these Ice Branches.

Instead, Luna decided to stay at a single point. Staying at a single point allowed her to now calm down and analyze this mist technique more deeply.

Her rage against Aria would normally blind her reasoning, and thus, she would be following Aria's rhythm during their battle.

"My wind couldn't sweep away this Mist," She whispered while she tried to figure out the reason.

Thus, while Aria was creating her Brilliant Arctic Spear, Luna didn't stand empty-handed. Luna was also gathering most of her Ardor at a particular point.

Luna was completely taken aback when she saw the Brilliant Arctic Spear was headed directly for her.

She instinctively tried to move out of the way and then realized that her leg was still trapped.

Luna gritted her teeth in frustration as she hadn't gathered enough Ardor that could disperse this mist.

But she realized she had no choice but to employ this approach or die. Since there were only these two options, it didn't take her a lot of time to make her decision.

"Aerial Sword," This attack was similar to the one she utilized to sweep away this mist.

But this time, the wind wasn't the surrounding wind but one that originated from her. Thus, it didn't contain any water particles.

Moreover, it was compressed to such a degree that the mist couldn't really affect it all that much.

The sword was released at the Brilliant Arctic Spear, and the two struck soon enough. Once they struck, pure elemental energy was released from these two attacks.

The Aerial Sword released pure Wind Ardor, while the Brilliant Arctic Spear released pure Icy Ardor.

These two kinds of energies destroyed the balance within the mist. The mist's effect began to weaken as Aria realized that the mist was getting out of her control.

She didn't know what to do because something like this had happened to her for the first time.

Luna found her opportunity as the Ice Branches' hold over her legs began to weaken. She knew that this was the moment and immediately burst Wind Ardor around her body to break free of those constraints.

As soon as she was free, she looked around and analyzed the path that would lead her to Aria.

She chose the path after hesitating for 5 or so seconds.

Aria sensed that Luna was slowly approaching her position. She was aware that there was no point in running away.

The mist would disperse soon, and Luna's speed was much faster than her own. It wouldn't take Luna a lot of time to catch up to her.

Thus, Aria remained in her position while creating Ice Branches around her body.

Just when Aria and Luna were about to fight again, they heard a loud and cold voice, "Surrender now or else die."
