Life of a Magic Academy Mage - Chapter 206
Chapter 206
“The King of the Frost Giants is an honorable being who enjoys legitimate challenges from qualified challengers.”
Professor Voladi kindly explained to Han Lee when he was curious.
It was indeed a professor’s erudition.
For a moment, Lee Han suspected that Professor Voladi had known in advance who the being inside the corridor of the twisted dimension was.
‘Somehow it seems like that.’
“I… have heard of it…”
Diret said in a trembling voice.
Among beings residing in other dimensions, such as spirits, demons, and angels, there were those with high reputation.
The king of frost giants was such a being.
An honorable being who enjoys a legitimate challenge from a qualified challenger and gives a reasonable reward for the challenge.
…of course, that’s it, and the weird thing about the current situation hasn’t changed.
No matter how honorable the opponent is who likes a challenge, isn’t it true that the first year is pushed there!?
Diret couldn’t stand it and opened her mouth.
“professor. It seems too soon for a freshman to challenge the king of frost giants.”
“Wrong.”
“……”
I mustered up the courage to say it, but when the answer came back immediately without worrying for a second, Diret was enraged.
The 4th graders were frightened and grabbed Diret by the sleeves.
“Delete. you endure The opponent is the professor!”
“Untitled Professor!”
…isn’t it too young? It seems a bit reckless.
However, an unexpected opponent sided with Diret.
It was the king of the frost giants.
The King of Frost Giants tilted his head at Lee Han.
No matter how much wizards are geniuses who show outstanding abilities from a young age, the wizard in front of them seemed too young even if they were young.
He was the king of the frost giants who preferred a fair challenge.
I didn’t want to deal with a challenger who was too young.
“King of the Frost Giants. I guarantee this challenger’s ability in my name.”
Professor Voladi said firmly. The king of frost giants nodded at the strength he felt from the other mage.
If you name a wizard…
“……”
Lee Han, who had been listening quietly, put on a puzzled expression.
My opponent says that much, so why should I take on the challenge with my own name?
The challenger to the king’s audience should reveal his/her name.
“This is Lee Han of the Wardanaz family.”
good night. young challenger.
The Frost Giant King pointed to the blue ice crown that was placed over his head.
If you damage this crown that symbolizes pride, it will be your victory.
‘Than you think…?’
Seeing the kind and gentle frost giant king than he thought, Lee Han quickly came up with a plan in his head.
Apparently, the image the frost giant king showed was far from sincere.
The fact that even a scratch on the crown is recognized as a victory for Lee Han, and the posture he is standing in now is quite loose.
Well, it would be even weirder if I was really wary of dealing with a first year student…
but I had to make the most of this anyway.
A powerful strategy that only Lee Han, who has been doing so far, can do.
While the opponent is careless, try to finish off with a first attack!
“By the way, King of the Frost Giants.”
What is it?
“The dimension around here is now in a twisted situation. If you win the challenge, will this problem be solved?”
If you want that, so be it. The legitimate right of those who won the challenge.
The king of frost giants nodded obediently.
Apparently, that king of the frost giants was one of the keys to maintaining the realm.
With the departure of the Frost Giant King, these twisted dimensional corridors will soon return to their original state.
Lee Han took a small step forward.
Actually, the content of the conversation just wasn’t very important.
The important thing is to close the distance!
‘Just one more step.’
“The king of the frost giants. Let me ask you one last question.”
Let it be.
“Are those in the back of the king’s men?”
The Frost Giant King turned his head.
At that moment, Lee Han stretched out his staff and shouted.
“Rush, the thunderbolt of Perkuntra!”
It was the fastest and most violent magic that Lee Han had ever cast.
I couldn’t draw out any magic power beforehand as I didn’t want the opponent to notice.
The moment the king of the frost giants turns his head, he draws out all his mana, casts a spell, weaves his mana, and explodes it at the end of his wand!
“!”
The pupils of the 4th grade students widened. The power of the shooting lightning magic was much stronger than expected.
The freshman’s magic battles I’ve seen so far were a way to increase firepower by firing countless easy spells.
I admired it, but the level of difficulty itself could be done by 4th graders if given time.
Because the magic itself wasn’t difficult.
However, the surprise attack he had just shown was a level of magic that was several steps higher than that.
Even though he handles lightning that is one of the most unstable of the elements, he completes it so quickly and casts it.
It wasn’t just because the magic casting speed was fast.
Impossible without strong control and deep understanding of the lightning element!
‘I don’t think I was able to properly control fire, let alone elemental lightning, in my freshman year…’ I was
so surprised that I didn’t even realize that the freshman had cheated and ambush the king of the frost giants.
The students of the White Tiger Tower, unaware of how great the magic they had just shown, whispered.
“Uh… can I cheat like that?”
“Can’t I do it because it’s disadvantageous?”
Boom!
However, Lee Han’s attack did not reach the crown.
A wall of blue ice formed in front of the crown worn by the Frost Giant King and blocked the lightning.
“……”
Lee Han seemed to know why Professor Voladi had asked him to complete the floating ice shield magic.
‘Performance… good.’
Although surprised, the king of frost giants was not angry.
Rather, he seemed interested.
You definitely deserve it
“Thank you…”
Lee Han said thanks and prepared to release the water beads.
However, the king of frost giants did not do it twice.
So, so, so, so, so, so!
Ice began to burst from the back of the frost giant king in a semicircle.
And the ice rushed towards Lee Han as if it were alive.
“…Burn!”
Lee Han threw himself while reciting an incantation.
It was the beginning of a real challenge.
* * *
“Bone, seize the enemy. Cloak, swallow me!”
As Lee Han summoned the Bone Restraint and cast Gonadaltes’ Invisibility Cloak, the Frost Giant King threw his eyes intrigued.
I wondered what the wizard behind the wall believed and guaranteed, but seeing that he was fighting right now, this young wizard was qualified as a challenger.
The first one is so much magical power that it feels as if there is no end to it.
The magic he used still gave off a feeling of being unfinished, but the enormous amount of mana made up for that shortcoming.
In particular, its advantage was revealed when casting fire magic.
Right now, this is the place where the Frost Giant King declared his power, so even the slightest flame shouldn’t have been able to rise, but the magic that the boy cast bloomed regardless of the cold.
Quite fiercely too! Because
fire
is compatible with cold, the ice that the king of frost giants wields also slows down in front of fire.
Of course, that alone couldn’t have lasted this long. The young wizard had other strengths as well.
‘I have a sense.’
It had such a great sense of danger that the Frost Giant King admired it.
Seeing that it detects the elements moving around it one step ahead and avoids them in the opposite direction, I wondered if that was really a young human.
When that excellent sense was combined with a huge amount of magical power that could sustain various strengthening magics, even the king of the frost giants was not easy to hit.
And finally, the flexibility to combine magic in various ways.
The Frost Giant King asked curiously.
Usually mages dig deep into their specialties, but you cover an unusually wide area. Is there a reason
The magic that the challenger in front of him showed was already diverse, including elemental (fire and lightning) and fantasy-granting black magic.
It was even more surprising considering that he was a young wizard.
Lee Han did not answer.
In fact, it was difficult, so it was close to not being able to answer.
Right now, in front of my eyes, a huge piece of ice was wriggling like a living creature, and there was no way I could respond leisurely.
Even if you relax a little, sharp pieces of ice fly like raindrops…
Professor Voladi answered instead.
“I learned it myself because I needed it.”
indeed. To learn battle magic on your own to perfect it at that age. That’s great.
The king of frost giants admired.
There were many wizards who knew their weaknesses and stepped forward to make up for them, but there were few wizards who moved so aggressively at such a young age.
Seniors in 4th grade were also impressed.
‘Was it like that?’
The students of the White Tiger Tower also admired it…
Bang!!
“Leehan!!!”
Durgyu screamed in fright. A huge pillar of ice slammed right where Lee Han had just been.
“Don’t worry. Durgyu.”
Lee Han, who rolled to the side, gritted his teeth and said. It was avoided by first detecting the movement of the elements before falling from above.
My body was a little sore…
‘I’m going crazy. It doesn’t give a chance.’
Lee Han felt helpless after a long time.
No matter how much magic there was, it was meaningless unless it was weaved with magic.
If given a little time, I would summon flames in all directions to increase firepower, but the frost giant king did not give it any time and savagely attacked.
It’s a situation where it’s hard to even dream of counterattacking because it’s not enough to pay attention to avoiding.
“Shield, unfold!”
Lee Han chose to defend instead of attacking recklessly.
It was painful and difficult, but this was the only path with the highest possibility right now.
The persistence uncharacteristic of a young wizard made a difference in the eyes of the frost giant king.
challenger. Is there a reason you insist on using fire magic? Elemental magic has been using fire only since earlier.
The King of Frost Giants pointed to the flame shield floated by Lee Han and asked.
In fact, the flame shield was the least used magic among elemental shield magic.
The defense was weak, the mana consumption was high, and it was difficult to fix the shape…
Of course, it was a problem that had nothing to do with Lee Han.
“Isn’t it compatible with cold…?”
Lee Han responded with alertness when the opponent stopped attacking.
It’s not commensurate. However, a wizard must be a being who uses the environment. Is there any reason to defy the power of the cold air around here?
‘…uh?’
Lee Han hesitated.
is it?
Come to think of it, that was right.
If it were another wizard, he would have noticed that fire magic was not being cast and cast cold magic…
Lee Han only used flame magic diligently for the pleasure of being well controlled by the flame magic he had suffered so much.
‘Did your hair get stiff from the cold?’
I understand. challenger. It must be the pride of being a challenger. I value that pride highly.
“No…”
But this challenge is not life-and-death. Sometimes you have to learn to put your ego aside and use other powers.
Instead of explaining, Lee Han gave strength to the hand holding the cane.
and shouted
“Freeze!”
Zeng!
In an instant, a huge block of ice appeared in the air.
It was an enormous size that could not be compared to the flame.
Lee Han swung his cane and attempted to change shape.
“Split!”
Just as he moved several water marbles at the same time, Lee Han moved the ice cubes.
Dozens of pieces of ice separated from the mass and began to fly rapidly.
However, the Frost Giant King was not at all surprised. I took out the blue ice wall that blocked the lightning earlier.
At that moment, Lee Han’s hand moved instinctively. Before his head made a decision, his body vomited out what he had learned.
An in-depth application of the water element learned from Eumidihus.
“Evaporate!”
In an instant, the blue ice wall faded and disappeared.
It re-formed immediately, but faster than the ice fragments.
The ice shards Lee Han shot with all his might penetrated the barrier.
‘It’s reached!’
With a sharp metallic sound, a piece of ice pierced the crown worn by the king of frost giants.
