EPISODE.49
Ice Age.
The ice frozen over the cracked, cracked and dislocated land was a sight as if a literal ice age had arrived.
Daria, who confirmed the appearance outside the magic barrier, clicked her tongue and muttered.
“To be ignorant.”
As if to reply to that, Hemingway recited.
“Isn’t that the opposite of efficient?”
It was a relationship to the point of dancing together at a ball, but that and this were strictly separate issues.
“To say that the ground shakes and splits is efficiency when the whole thing is frozen and fixed. It’s not even funny.”
Hemingway did not lose and responded to Daria, who was clucking her tongue.
“If I had stayed still, I would have lost my balance in the earthquake, and if I had flung myself upward, I would have been exposed to the interception magic. If you get away with that, you can say it’s efficient enough.”
Neither was wrong, so Daria snorted.
“joy. I thought I had changed a little, but I never said a word.”
“Kuhm.”
Hemingway cleared his throat at Daria’s scolding.
While the two masters were talking, Russell stuck out his tongue as he checked the inside of the ice-covered magic barrier.
‘Awesome?’
White breath flows from his open mouth.
It’s not like it’s not, but it feels like the temperature around you has dropped by about 10 degrees.
In that sense, Russell retraced the situation immediately before.
Using his intuition and intuition as a wizard, he analyzed and grasped the phenomenon.
‘Instead of flying upwards to avoid the earthquake, did you slam your mana into the ground just like me?’
The magic that mobilized the intense chill froze the entire earth and stopped the earthquake.
After freezing the displaced and split land through ice, it was forcibly caught and fixed.
‘indeed-.’
It is impossible to respond to an earthquake that spreads widely, but if it is an earthquake that is limited to a local area, can it be stopped like this?
The question of whether that was physically possible was postponed to a later date.
If it was an impossible realm in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened.
The current situation was more important than the desire to explore as a wizard.
As if Russell’s judgment was not wrong, a chill strikes him from all sides, making his spine stiff.
Then Alan’s momentum changed completely.
The air became heavier than before, and intense magic power surged through his body.
It was as if he was saying that all the fights up until now had been mere search battles. Alan’s narrow eyes flashed in the midst of it.
‘Sir Russell.’
He met the red eyes staring at him from afar.
‘Just as I didn’t do my best, Sir, I know that this is not all.’
Proof of this is that both of them did not lose a single breath, even though they released and blocked this amount of magic.
Tsutsutsutsutsut-.
As the mana slowly rose, Alan remembered Russell’s mana he had felt the day before.
The frenzied mana he emitted when fighting the cultists in the ruins.
It was mana that made people goosebumps and fear soared just by touching it.
Certainly, that mana could be called Russell’s strength. Alan wanted to see that power again.
I want to collide with that power at least once.
‘To do so…’
It would be polite to reveal one’s strength first.
Alan’s eyes shone bright blue.
The time it took for consciousness to flow from the moment the ground froze to that point was literally an instant.
Russell, almost instinctively realizing that Alan’s mood had changed, closed his mouth.
‘come-!’
Did they say that the magic of the blue pagoda lacks firepower compared to that of the red pagoda, but that the linkage that flows like water is unmatched?
The chill that started from the white frozen ground begins to invade the atmosphere.
Susut-.
Soon, hundreds of feet of icicles filled the air.
Prepared a bunch of magic with fast casting speed, not high-level magic with powerful power!
‘Tsk.’
Russell clicked his tongue at the shadow of the icicles in front of him.
Gae Bolg, the magic he was preparing to intercept, was obviously a powerful magic.
However, it was not suitable for cutting off that amount of ice rain.
Recognizing that fact, Russell quickly changed the magic formula.
At that moment, weed-!
The icicles of high spirits began to rush towards Russell, carving a white trail.
With the formula reversed in reverse order, the magic decomposed into two is released through each hand!
Gaebolg’s first attribute was widely radiated.
It settled in the form of a wall and blocked the ice rain.
‘Fire Wall!’
Then, the second attribute, lightning, was scattered in the form of a spider web.
‘Electric Web-!’
A bright blue lightning bolt jumped out along with sparks.
Screaming loudly!
A towering wall of flame blocked the pouring shower of ice, and then a net of thunderbolts skimmed away what was left.
Incredibly clean and fast switching between offense and defense. But Alan’s attack had only just begun.
The steam created by the meeting of ice and fire covered the area, and at the same time frost settled down.
Frost begins to form on the hem of the robe and hair, as well as on the major joints including the knees and elbows.
‘This-.’
This is the first time I’ve actually seen it.
But I’ve read it in a book.
The wizards of the spear tower use the cold chill and frost to steal the mobility of the enemies.
Frost Stop, the arcane magic of the window tower that Hemingway invented 20 years ago.
The true intention of ‘stopping the frost’ was revealed, and a chill shackled Russell’s body.
After stealing the mobility, what followed was an overwhelming amount of carpet bombing.
Damn-
the frozen air turned into a huge shard of ice and fell over Russell’s head.
Shoot ah-.
Acid rain, acidic raindrops mixed sparsely.
In the meantime, high-pressure water streams whipped around the hall like a whip.
A single blow is so powerful that a castle gate or castle wall can be demolished!
That much power is concentrated in one place.
Even the Colosseum couldn’t withstand that shock.
The ground inside the magic barrier was hollowed out.
Every time the high-pressure water stream passed by, the ground cracked and the skin was exposed.
Hailstones the size of human heads hit the ground.
bang!
Part of the ground collapsed with the explosion.
If it weren’t for the magic barrier surrounding the arena, it wouldn’t have been strange if the entire Colosseum collapsed.
A barrage of magic pouring down like a bombardment.
It’s kind of creepy to pour out magic like that.
Alan’s fingertips became numb at the sudden feeling of fear running over his skin.
‘-!’
Ice crystals can be seen drifting like diamond dust among the thick sand dust rising from the collapsed earth.
Tsutsutsutsutsut-.
The mana of the whole area starts to run wild, and the ripples spread out.
Amidst the rippled ice crystals and sand dust fluttering in all directions.
‘Partial acceptance.’
In it, two eyes shining amber pierced Alan’s brain.
.
.
“This-?”
Alan was not the only one who felt signs of Yonginhwa.
The two archmages watched the match while maintaining a magic barrier outside the arena.
Daria and Hemingway raised their eyes in surprise.
The arrogant yet ferocious mana and the fear that stimulates the fundamental sense of fear in humans, as if created by differences in species.
Among the many powers that exist in the material world, there is only one that simultaneously accompanies these two phenomena.
“Dragon Fear….”
“Huh, I thought he was quite talented for his age. Did you inherit dragon blood?”
Otherwise, there’s no way an ordinary human could use Dragon Fear.
Daria ran her fingertips over her lower lip at Hemingway’s murmur.
He shook his head with a puzzled look on his face.
“No way. The youngest child’s parents are all ordinary people…”
Daria stopped talking and kept her mouth shut.
Even if it was not the immediate upper generation, the phenomenon that the genetic factors of the ancestors were expressed in the lower generation definitely existed.
“- Atavistic heredity.”
Daria’s murmur was heard by Hemingway.
“It looks like there was a higher polyp among the old ancestors of the Raymond family.
If I had witnessed complete tolerance rather than partial tolerance, I would have thought of something worse than this.
For now, this is the best one.
Daria nodded, as if thinking the same thing.
Soon, her eyes as she looked at Russell deepened.
‘Is this the secret you’ve been hiding? Are you the youngest?’
Through the current situation, I was able to understand Russell’s interest in dragons in the past.
That’s probably why he wanted the dragon’s heart.
right at that moment.
Russell and Alan collided once again.
Kwalung!
* * *
What followed was a slugfest using magic.
The sharp sword of flame cuts through space without rest, and each time the ground cracks open and the flames soar.
As if to respond to that, Alan took out the twins.
Layers of waves roar and pour out following the touch.
water and fire.
It was clearly a contradictory attribute. Normally, Russell should have been pushed back.
However, Russell’s magical powers possessed an extraordinary strength and purity.
Layered waves also did not completely quench Russell’s flame.
Roaring-!
The swinging sword of flame cut the rushing waves straight, and Russell reached out toward the gap revealed between them.
While engaging in a slugfest, he divided his consciousness and inserted the magic he had loaded in advance.
Shock Bolt.
Triple concubine (三重疊) rapid fire (速射).
‘Shape transformation thunderbolt (貫雷).’
shock bolt.
As an improved form of Shockwave magic, it was a magic that gathered the shockwaves that had been scattered over a wide area into one point.
Its power is enough to penetrate the castle wall with one blow and leave a hole the size of a finger!
That’s a whopping triple stack.
And even shapeshifting with piercing lightning!
――――!!!
A white flash of lightning penetrated the space, and the air exploded before the sound.
Kwalung!
The moment the shot magic collided with the solid ice wall blocking Alan’s front, a compressed shockwave exploded.
swept the area
Perseus Perseus-!
The ground, which had been weakened only in the aftermath of the collision, begins to crumble.
It was only natural that Alan’s body, which had been hit directly in front of him by the shock wave, was thrown back and flew away.
bang!
After colliding with the magic barrier surrounding the arena, Alan sighed on the spot.
“Ouch!”
The feeling that the intestines are shaken and blood is welling up from the inside.
Of course, Russell wasn’t quite as well.
“Whoa…”
The breath he exhaled was as cold as ice.
The hair below the ears and the hem of the robe, etc.
There was white frost all over the body, and the fingertips that used magic turned blue and were shaking.
It was typical signs of hypothermia and frostbite.
Of course, it was better compared to Alan, who was bleeding all over his body and bleeding from his mouth.
With the back of his hand, he wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, adjusting his face, and opened his mouth.
“…Sir Russell.”
He said while checking the marks on the ice and castle that had been lodged in the half-destroyed arena.
“If you break through this magic, then it is your victory.”
