Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 1285 Fire Against Water
-----
Alma was nervous, to the point she was beginning to even panic! And nobody else could calm her down, after all, she was the only one at fault here. She was the one that was perpetually scared of things most of the time. And she was only brave enough to fight back when she was inside of Sofia's Nightmare Realm.

Because Sofia was her friend, she began to change, she developed, even. She had tried fighting before, and it somewhat worked to an extent, but it was only within Sofia's Nightmare Realm incident that she evolved even further.
That incident changed her life completely, and right now, she was still going through everything that had happened, it was just yesterday after all, and so much had happened so far, every day was always packed of so many things, experiences, and life.
It was a bit tiring for her, a girl born in the countryside, used to a simple life… but she had to fight back, and try to win.
Sofia had lost, Emily had won… What should she do?
She had to try and aim to win anyways!
Despite how scary Fiera was, and how strong she was, would she stand still and let her beat her up?
Alma slowly stood up as she faced the magma pouring down.
The barrier of water wrapped her like a bubble, and then rapidly began to lower its temperature, becoming an incredibly cold, dry ice.
SPLAAASH!
The magma that splashed down ended immediately cooling down, becoming solid stone fragments that fell down into the ground one by one.
"Ooh? That's Ice, isn't it?!" Fiera smiled with fascination. "Let's see if you can do something with it though!"
She jumped towards Alma, swinging her giant fists against her. Alma moved the barrier of ice, but Fiera destroyed it with a couple of punches.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
As the fragments of ice flew away, Alma furrowed her eyebrows, pointing her staff forward as the fragments of ice rotated in midair and then flew back towards Fiera, exploding as they made contact.
"Huh?!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The explosions were small and didn't do any damage to her armor, but the cooling effect spread rapidly, making her movements slower as the melting stone encompassing her began to harden and become heavier too.
"I-It's hard to move?!"
Before she realized what happened, Alma had already prepared something, a huge trident made of spiraling water, loaded to the brim with Dream Power.
"{Undine's Trident}!"
FLASH!
The trident reached Fiera, as her fiery red eyes widened in surprise. The trident reached her, and then exploded with cold water, generating an combustion effect within her armor, making it explode as well.
BOOOMMM!!!
"Uuggh…!"
Fiera was sent flying away, rolling over the ground, her Dream Heart Armor completely gone, reduced to small bits out of nowhere.
"M-My Armor is completely gone!" she gasped. "She's… her elemental affinity was my complete counter!"
Despite having been at an advantage in terms of raw power and her beginning, Fiera quickly realized that Alma's elements were simply made to go against her and defeat her.
She only needed a little bit more of bravery, and she could do this much damage to her… It was unbelievable.
"But I ain't giving up yet."
Fiera quickly stood up, despite her armor having been broken, another one grew instantly over her entire body, now with several dozens of volcanic arms as well as spheres of magma.
"Y-You're back already?!"
Alma started trembling, panicking yet again as she saw Fiera getting up as if nothing, cracking her knuckles and getting ready for the fight to continue.
"Of course I am fighting some more!" smiled Fiera. "This isn't over yet, is it?! Your Water and your Ice might be pretty good counters against me, but that doesn't mean shit to me."
"A-Ahh…!" Alma felt a bit intimidated.
Fiera was simply built different, a girl that had gone through challenge after challenge, raised by her father to be an exemplar warrior in their family.
She was born with the perfect Dream Heart Weapon, inheriting her father's teachings and martial arts that took advantage of their transformation.
"I'm going to show ya!"
With a single step forward, an explosion of flames and magma erupted from Fiera's legs, making her jump all the way up into the skies, and then descend rapidly.
"{Phoenix Descent}!"
She spread out her arms, generating the illusion of fiery wings, resembling a huge phoenix whose sharp beak pointed down!
CRAAASH!
With tremendous force, Alma was pushed back, her shield of ice shatter apart once more, as she tried to cool Fiera down once more by throwing the little bits at her.
However, Fiera didn't let her, quickly loading herself with flames and then releasing them as a fiery shockwave of flames!
"{Blazing Shock}!"

TRUUUM!
"Uwaahh!"
Alma screamed as the flames encompassed her entire body, burning through her skin and sending her flying away.
"Cough, cough…!"
She was barley conscious, as her Staff rapidly covered her with Healing Water, recovering her wounds.
"Ugh…"
She slowly stood up, noticing a dozen of volcanic fists coming down towards her like meteors, Fiera smiled maniacally, almost possessed by the thrill of battle.
"Is that it, Alma?! {Blazing Asura's Fists}!"
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Alma was engulfed by a series of deadly punches, each punch as tough as a rock hitting her hard, her bones began cracking, her skin burned, and her face disfigured by the agonizing beat down she got.
"Uuaaarrgh!"
She screamed in agony as she was sent flying away, covered with flames which rapidly were turned off, her water encompassed her in a bubble, protecting her once more.
Healing her again.
"Hahhh… Hahhh… Ugh…!"
Professors analyzed the battle, wondering what could happen now.
"Alma might have the elemental advantage, but her attitude and her techniques won't do it…"
"Fiera is incredibly tough! And her fighting style is the complete opposite of Alma."
"I had no idea Alma even had offensive abilities; wasn't she purely support?"
"It shows, seeing how she's healing herself rapidly… But for how long can she keep that up?"
"Eventually, she'll run out of Dream Essence, and she'll lose."
Nobody had faith for her, they had already given up on her winning at all… And Alma couldn't blame them, her entire school life she had been acting as unremarkably as possible.
Yet…
Why?
Why did she feel this flame within her?
This intense desire to win?
She never had such a feeling before.
She was content with losing, with being shoved aside.
As long as she could heal someone, she was happy.
But why…
Why did she want to prove herself? To show them she was strong?
"Hahh… Hahhh… Hahh…"
As she was gasping for air, she heard someone screaming from afar.
"You can do it Almaaaa!" Emily screamed.
"Show her what you've got!" Sofia said.
"Come on! You have yet to show her what you can do!" Maria cheered for her as well.
Alma glanced at her friends cheering for her so much, she quickly started shedding a few tears.
"G-Girls…"
Slowly, she stood up again.
"Yeah, that's right…"
She glanced at Fiera with her eyes glowing brightly.
"It's because of them… That I want to become better…"
She gripped her staff tightly, as Fiera jumped towards her.
"I want to show them that… T-That I can also be strong like them!"
While screaming, both fear and courage mixed in, Alma went all-out.
