EPISODE.31
Daria and Hemingway.
The fisheyes of the two archmages were dumbfounded.
They gazed at the princess Hecate with the same expression.
Did you feel that gaze?
In a nonchalant tone, Hecate added an explanation.
“Oh, don’t worry too much. Sir Hemingway. I am not saying that your disciple is ugly. just a study bug. Umm, so…”
After thinking for a while, she chose the right word.
“Because, in vulgar terms, being a criminal is not my taste.”
Even if I didn’t have to do it.
“Is that so.”
Hemingway answered with an uncharacteristically shy attitude.
Daria laughed as if it was funny.
“Look, inspiration. did you hear Her Highness, the princess, said that she was a criminal. A criminal!”
He laughed as if he was about to explode and repeatedly emphasized the word criminal.
“Hmm. It’s a matter of taste anyway. A matter of taste.”
As if it were his own business, Hemingway protested Alan’s situation.
Hecate laughed at that figure and glanced back.
“Come to think of it, I forgot.”
He ordered one of the Royal Guard knights standing behind him disguised as a normal person.
“Bring it.”
“yes. majesty.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the knight who caught his gaze took out a letter and a stick from his bosom.
It is a rod that looks like it was carved out of crystal about a span of length.
“hmm.”
take a moment to look into it. Soon Hecate passed the letter and the stick to Daria.
“It’s the very thing you requested from Your Majesty.”
A letter from the royal family stating permission to enter and a key to take out the ‘heart’.
Hecate handed over the two and gave a meaningful look.
“If you dare to come and ask for it now, it would not be the Lord himself trying to write it…”
He said, looking back at the place where the battle was taking place.
“Are you going to give it to your disciple, Viscount Raymond?”
“It’s fine.”
Daria murmured as she took care of the stick and the correspondence.
“Because it’s both unique and proud. I’m thinking of giving you a little less on an assignment in particular.”
“assignment? Shave one off?”
Hecate tilted her head at the incomprehensible words, and Daria jumped up from her seat.
“There’s no such thing as a scarecrow for complete practice!”
They booed and giggled toward the gymnasium.

Pervert!
Bullets made of flame collide with bullets, and an explosion reverberates without ceasing.
Clash of fire and fire. The
impact
made the flagstones on the floor of the Colosseum crack, split, and blacken.
The pungent smell tickled the nostrils.
It was a battle that seemed to prove that both of them were magicians of the Red Tower type.
While fire attribute magic is the main force, other elemental magics fly in assisting the flames.
The two continued to cast magic at each other.
A battle that covers a fairly wide area to be called a mere search battle.
This was the battle between wizards who reached the level of 4th circle masters.
Seeing this, those who normally lived far from magic opened their mouths wide.
The surprising thing is that neither of them has yet to reach their full potential.
‘Am I following you here?’
Geron narrowed his eyes as he stared at Russell, who was easily intercepting his magic.
I was a little surprised that the opponent was a 4th circle master, but I thought that would be all.
It must have been forcibly increasing the amount of mana by using expensive supplements purchased with astronomical money.
I thought so, but-.
‘Still, as much as I am a disciple of the Flame Tower Master, are you saying that the basic skills are substantial?’
Then you have no choice but to increase your speed until you can’t catch up.
‘I’m going to end the search battle soon with this.’
Having made that decision, Geron spread his arms wide.
Then, it radiated magic power in the form of a fan, covering the entire area.
It was to bring control over the surrounding mana.
With that, the air starts to heat up and roar!
A larger number of magics appeared than before.
Of these, more than 80% were fire attribute magic and the remaining 20% were wind attribute magic.
‘The wind burns the flames even stronger.’
They increased their numbers as well as their power, so they won’t be able to intercept them as easily as before.
The moment you think so and try to unleash magic!
‘hmm?’
The connection with the mana in the air that was in control was suddenly severed.
And what appeared was the magic of the same number as the one Geron created.
Almost a hundred rounds of magic filled Jeron’s field of vision.
fire and wind.
Pajijik-!
Not only that, but some of them even have lightning properties!
“what?”
Russell snapped his fingers at Geron, who was shocked.
‘good-.’
The magic came in a circle like a school of fish that had inflated in size by forming a colony.
Kwaaaaa-.
The air vibrated violently.
If even part of it hits, it’s a whole roast, and if it’s swallowed, it’s a lump of charcoal.
“this!”
Jeron, who missed the player, fired his magic half a breath later.
However, if it was the same amount of magic, the one who fired it first had no choice but to have an advantage.
As for the acceleration attached while the magic was flying, even if it was hit second, since it was too late to hit back, I had to face the aftershock at a much closer distance.
Kwagwagwang!
The flagstones on the floor were shattered.
Shockwaves spread out in all directions.
The sand dust rose thickly, and after half a beat a hot wind blew in.
Anger-!
“Kuk!”
With a moan, Jeron’s body was pushed back.
Meanwhile, Jeron hurriedly prepared the next one.
Beyond the thick sand dust, I could feel the presence of strong magic.
‘Now that I’ve got the momentum, is it an intention to inflict repeated hits?’
If so, please return it as it is!
Sugaak.
The sand dust split evenly.
to appear in it.
It was Russell, holding the spear of flame with both hands.
‘Covering your vision with sand dust, close combat?’
A trick that no sane wizard would use!
However, Geron was also a 4th circle master mage.
He wasn’t as familiar as an Auror practitioner, but he was already prepared for close combat.
‘It’s just a fire spear. Use the magic shield to pour it out…’
Then counterattack-Zeng!
A riot rang out.
Before Geron’s thoughts were complete, the magic shield was shattered.
I felt the fragmented remnants of magic dissipate in a strange sense as if time had been stretched.
‘uh-?’
After that, an intense shock wave hit Jeron’s body.
Kwareung!
.
.
A strong shock shook his brain.
Jeron tightly clenched his fists in the illusion that his brain would turn white for an instant.
“ぅ-.”
He shook his head, barely straightening the staggering new model.
drip drip
The dripping nosebleed wets the floor.
‘What was it?’
If I hadn’t instinctively spread two more layers of shields, the previous attack would have confirmed my defeat.
I thought it would be an ordinary fire spear, but what the hell is this destructive power that exceeds the circle?
‘On the subject of Fire Spear, it doesn’t burn, but even explodes?’
He raised his head in disbelief.
I checked the swaying silhouette in the thick sand dust.
‘Grunt.’
same time.
Russell was also looking at Geron.
It was while frowning at the shock of the tingling in his hands.
‘As expected, there is still quite a bit of room left for improvement.’
What Geron thought was an ordinary fire spear was actually a blaze lance.
Unlike the usual Blaze Lance, it is an improved type that reduces power consumption by drastically lowering the power.
It is not unreasonable to mistake Geron for a fire spear.
However, if there is one more change there -.
‘The sustained output has decreased, but the instantaneous explosive power has definitely increased. After all, was adding the formula of Explosion the answer?’
Explosion.
Originally, magic belonging to the 5th circle.
It is a magic that is unreasonable for Russell now to unfold unless he achieves acceptance.
However, if it is part but not all.
A few lines of formulas were enough.
Russell added part of that formula to the Blaze Lance.
Explodes the moment it touches an enemy, increasing its power.
So it’s an improved version.
However, it cannot be used as it is.
‘The moment of the explosion, the backlash is too strong.’
The wrist that had gripped the spear still felt cold.
It was for that reason that he did not immediately chase after him and give him an additional hit.
‘I’ll have to add a little more formula to help with this.’
As the formula has been changed, the safety test will also have to be redone.
‘After that, I’ll have to check the power again and go through a few more revisions.’
Saying that it won’t end in one or two rounds. But it didn’t matter.
either once or twice.
Otherwise, whether ten or twenty times. Because there was an opponent who could experiment in front of me.
.
.
Kwalung!
The explosion that occurred at the moment of flashing red flames covered my eyes in an instant.
“Ouch!”
The shock wave transmitted from there pushed Jeron’s body back again.
It was also around that time that Daria, who was outside, shouted, ‘There’s no such thing as a scarecrow for practice!’
Of course, I couldn’t hear them either.
Besides, Russell’s attack had just begun.
‘Haste.’
In addition to the Wizard Body and Overlord, he even has a Haste.
bang!
As Russell’s new model accelerates to its limit, intense shockwaves rush in from all directions.
Boom kkwareung kkwagwagwang!
Pain as if the circle was twisted and the intestines were shaken!
The pain made the veins along Geron’s eyes turn red as if they were about to explode.
“Profit!”
I want to counterattack by deflecting his magic right now, but I don’t even have the time to do that!
Besides, I don’t know why, but as time passed, his magic was getting stronger and stronger.
Proof of this is that he continues to feed continuous hits that he couldn’t even try at first!
‘no way-!’
As soon as he thought about it, a thought passed through his mind.
‘What if it’s real, not an illusion?’
Really, his magic gets stronger and stronger as time passes. What if it is being completed?
“Inom! Could it be that you were testing your magic against me!”
Only then did Jeron, who grasped the situation, shouted in an energetic voice.
Russell responded to him.
“of course.”
“…?”
“Thank you.”
“what?”
“Thanks to Sir Geron, I was able to safely improve my magic.”
The answer that makes the guess that I couldn’t believe become a reality.
Jerone’s eyes widened.
At that moment, a blaze-!
A spear of flame pierced the air in a straight line.
The moment when the refined explosive power explodes from his chest! The
shield
that protected him shattered like glass.
Unlike the first time when my wrist was sore even though I held it with both hands, now I can withstand enough recoil even with one hand!
‘then!’
In Russell’s hands, the formula was once again transformed.
The expression in Explosion, which used to be one line, has been increased to two lines.
The shockwave from the second explosion engulfed Xeron.
Kwagwagwa-!
dragon-swallowed wizard
