Daedalus would not reveal himself as of yet, though Jun might notice something peculiar as she began to feel for his mana signature. As she scanned around the arena she would find not one, but multiple mana signatures, each of them exactly identical and appearing as Daedalus.
Physically, all of the areas these mana signatures occupied would be just open air, perhaps hinting towards some sort of cloaking spell or illusion magic. Either way, Daedalus had gone into hiding for now after Jun's last attack, perhaps to consolidate his power in preparation for an attack.
This could be confirmed as Jun could feel mana being drained from the environment through the various mana signatures, each of them acting as a conduit to channel mana. There were four such signatures in total, each one near the edge of the arena at each cardinal direction - north, east, south, and west.
The water beneath Jun would now become animated a spiral of water suddenly drilling up near her and shooting towards her, it's pointy tipping probably looking to pierce through her.

Jun of the Celadine
Widely Known
Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Aside from a brief sense of validation for investing in extra groin protection in the armor (due to an unfortunate mishap in a previous mission), Jun stayed calm. Just as Daedalus had warded his armor against cold, Jun's helmet had been blessed to mitigate a single spell. The water drill at her feet would struggle to pierce through an invisible wall, slowing it down just enough for the swirling mass of sand around her to increase in power and volume and then thrash the water away.
The air that roared around Jun wasn't mana influencing the air itself, but a violent torrent of mana which pulled at the sand beneath their feet upwards like a siphon; it just happened to be powerful enough to influence the air around her. The longer she focused, the more sand would ally itself with her and the greater her sphere of influence would grow.
Jun sensed the multiple mana signatures from Daedalus. She hardly cared anymore. She was sick and tired of trying to outsmart Daedalus, trying to find the weaknesses in his stratagems. She resolved to instead beat him at his own game. If her mouth was uncovered it'd be bellowing. It would take more than a prodigy to beat her!

The sandstorm brewed, yet nothing seemed to come just yet. The water in the arena began to drain away after a time, the mana signatures of Daedalus still present in their previous locations.
Then suddenly, a bright blue flash of mana appeared in front of Jun, Daedalus appearing from it. His ward indicated he had taken a significant bit of damage since Jun last saw him as the ward's red coloration extended all the way up to his waist now.
Fingertips pressed together to start, he drew his hands outwards, a line of runes inscribing themselves in the air before them glowing violently red a moment before the beam of red energy shot from them. The high energy magical attack would zip towards Jun then, tearing through the air and sand easily on its way to Jun. It would incinerate anything in its path, leaving only ashes behind.

By now there was so much sand around her that it almost formed a solid dome. As soon as Daedalus appeared his armor would clang heavily with chunks of sand. The great sand cloud would react by surging forward, a great amorphous mass which from the audience perspective would look like a giant brown amoeba about to swallow its prey.
Jun was prepared for many things. She was ready to fight a second ice dragon. She was ready to deal with toxic water clouds which would infest her lungs and take over her brain. She was prepared to take on any wild but masterful scheme that Daedalus concocted.
Somehow she was not prepared for a magical laser cannon to the face.
As he fired the beam, the sand would attempt to intercept, quickly taking on the form of a swirling cone in front of her, using the momentum it had gained from trying to swallow him to instead form the appropriate shape. The beam would melt through the sand, but the sand's impetus to push against the beam would result in the hot molten glass to surge forward as a crown from the impact point, dousing Daedalus. The audience would see it almost as an erupting sideways volcano.
If the beam was powerful enough it would eventually cut through and reach Jun, finishing her off, but not before Daedalus was covered in molten glass.

A full frontal assault was not very characteristic of the way Daedalus preferred to battle, it was true. A large magical attack such as the one he employed here was quite a crude use of magical energy against someone as skilled as Jun after all. Yet still, he went through with it, but why?
For all of the red laser attacks faults, it did accomplish one thing here, it caught Jun's attention, no, demanded it. Perhaps this would distract her just enough for Daedalus' plan to come to fruition.
As the laser hit the sand, turning the tiny grains to glass the four mana signatures in each corner of the arena remained and the one directly behind Jun now flared with activity ever so subtly as she dealt with the laser from the front. Then, within that swirling mass of sand and molten glass a portal opened right in front of Daedalus' laser, and the exit of said portal appeared right on the mana signature behind Jun, the red beam of magical energy now shooting out of the portal behind her even as she committed her sand forwards.
Still the molten glass surged towards Daedalus, but he had gained the tempo advantage for now, as instead of him being covered in molten glass before his laser potentially made it through and hit Jun as before, his laser would now hit Jun a good few moments before the molten glass reached him. Daedalus was completely fine with the molten glass hitting him due to the wards making this a non-lethal affair - for as long as he hit Jun first, he would be victorious.

The sudden flare in mana alarmed Jun, and triggered flashbacks of her fight with Vigil. She didn't know how to use portals, but she was familiar with their usage in battle. They were not fun.
A drilling surge of pure sand would snap to and launch into Jun's side, an attempt to knock herself out of the way of the second laser attack. This would likely result in damage to her own body, but it was better than being caught by a magical beam of death. She'd stagger out of the way, her eyes flailing wildly towards the other mana signatures. She would draw Resonance and rapidly build up energy for a desperate counter-measure.
The molten glass would likely not be a lethal blow against Daedalus' armor, but it would cause intense heat and an irritating orange glow which might affect his ability to concentrate.
