58. The Mirage of the Great Desert of Mitra (4)
The fragments of lightning flew.
Every time a piece of debris hit the sand, there was an explosion. It was a power of around 7 to 8 stars, but Jin couldn’t figure out the name of the magic.
The second magic shot was the same. The energy of lightning wrapped around the staff became a pure white spear and shot at an unbelievable speed.
Valeria Histor Jean’s magic teacher and the sole successor of the Histor family.
Her magic was out of the ordinary.
because it was mastered She enjoyed transforming and using all the magic she had learned. In other words, all magic unfolds as Valeria-style variant magic.
Pachang!
The lightning spear shot in a straight line broke Jin’s protective shield. Drops of blood burst from the lobe of the ear before the sharp plosive sound can pierce the eardrum.
It was because the lightning spear barely passed. Even a warrior who wields an extremely powerful sword would not be able to deliver such a quick blow easily.
Jin, who hurriedly opened the second shield, gritted his teeth.
‘It was really meant to kill.’
In my previous life, I sparred with her over five hundred times.
Over 500 defeats, in the fight that had never been won, Valeria had never tried to kill Jin.
“You avoid well, disciple.”
Wedge!
The lightning spear that passed Jin turned the spear head. The moment it was shot back into Jin’s back, another lightning spear erupted from Valeria’s staff.
and crossed
Jin, who was trying to avoid the two lightning spears, rolled on the floor, and a third lightning spear was formed. A lightning spear that shoots through a triangle.
By the time Jin managed to chant the first incantation, there were already five lightning spears formed that way.
Five lightning spears gathered in a line in front of Valeria.
Jin couldn’t be too sentimental any longer. His eyes, which had sunk darkly, turned to Valeria.
“Looks like you have the heart to do it right. It’s your last chance. Pick up the sword.”
Valeria pointed her cane at Bradamante, who was stuck in the sand.
Jin’s hand slowly moved toward Bradamante’s handle. However, just before reaching it, he shook his head and did not hold on to it.
“Neither can I.”
“Insistent. would you die?”
“You will know that after the fight is over. I am also Valeria. I will do it your way.”
Valeria’s eyes narrowed as she smiled.
“It’s my way, so I’ll watch it. disciple.”
Five lightning spears unfolded in a fan shape. And in Jin’s right hand, the 7-star reflux width was making a sharp noise.
“Looks like you have a new teacher, right? Well, it would have been a waste of talent to rot just because I didn’t have it. But Kiddard Hall, was it really for the best that you abandoned me?”
The only teacher, the only disciple. In our past lives, we always called each other like that. No archmage could become Jin’s teacher, and no genius could become Valeria’s apprentice.
So Valeria deliberately chose cruel words that could affect Jin’s psychology. In order to break Jin more easily, he is trying to shake his heart and create even a little more loopholes.
Valeria was such a person. Once he decides to kill, he never chooses any means or methods.
The fact that he gave out the canteen in the first place and gave him a chance to hold the sword. It was just the last affection he showed his pupil.
Kiyiing…!
The magic power of the Lightning Spear was sucked in little by little by the rotating backflow width.
It was difficult to directly absorb Valeria’s mana. In order to break through her solid magic release behind the lightning spear and create a reverse flow, the reverse was the only answer.
‘I buy time somehow until I’m ready to unfold the reverse.’
Until then, Valeria must have expected it. And Jin was also thinking about the next move.
‘Five spears cannot be maintained for long with the magic power of the master. I will only keep one or two to the end, the rest is imaginary.’
I had to figure out which lightning spear to keep to the end so I could bet on it.
Seeing Seeing! Shaak-!
The lightning spears began to rush in with a slight time lag.
I avoided what could be avoided, and twisted the trajectory using the backflow width of the sharply entering. Even if an error of about one finger is made by the attractive power of the width of the reverse flow, the area in which movement can be performed is dramatically widened.
At the same time, he prepared a reverse stream using simultaneous chanting. If you endure that much for 3 minutes, you will be able to unleash a 70% power reverse.
Of course, it wasn’t Valeria who could only wield a lightning spear.
Contrary to its appearance, the five lightning spears are magic. And she is a simultaneous chanting user like Jin.
Empty!
When the silver pine wand strikes the sand, a magic circle unfolds in an instant. It was a magic circle wide enough to reach the ground where Jin was running around avoiding the lightning spear.
A spell chanted like a distant echo Valeria moved her lips, and the magic circle instantly turned red.
Chains of fire sprang from within. Chains of fire that looked like gigantic serpents were converging on the ground and devouring him.
Lightning bolts rushed through the fire-blurred vision, and one of them scratched Jin’s wrist. If it hadn’t been for the reflux width, the wrist would have been cut off.
“Big!”
Hook’s breath was suffocated by the heat that oppressed his entire body. It is impossible to avoid the chains of fire that squeeze from all sides. A shield is just a means of delaying death for a few seconds.
Then, a chain bit Jin’s ankle. The moment when the terrible pain of burning my ankle rose to the top of my head.
Fortunately, Jin was opening the summoning door with the reflux bomb turned off.
Roaring!
Blue flames cut through space like a knife. Gaaaaa-! Valeria’s eyes widened as she saw the blue phoenix screaming and exiting the summoning door.
“Oh, you mean Tess?”
Blue and white mixed with deterioration. When Tess trampled on the chain that held Jin’s ankle, Jin knelt down on one knee and sighed.
A white bone was exposed at the ankle. There is no room for healing magic. The chain of fire lost momentum, but the lightning spear still stabbed Jin and Tess relentlessly.
1 min.
If you endure that much longer, the reverse stream will be complete. There was only one chance at that time. However, if you don’t find the real lightning spear within 1 minute, it’s a story that doesn’t even exist.
[Kaaaaaaa!]
As Tess flapped her wings, a blast of blue flame spread. However, it was a wind that fell far short of the true dignity of the owner of the flame world, because Jin’s magic power was insufficient.
The water Valeria gave him restored his energy to some extent, but it did not fill all of his usual magic power.
His body was badly damaged from walking in the desert, and he spent most of his remaining mana preparing for the reverse. Only the minimum amount of magical energy left to summon Tess.
Phew…!
A single lightning spear pierced Tess’ chest. It was the result of Valeria, who immediately recognized that Tess was not strong enough, and immediately changed her target.
hooked! hooked! While three lightning spears in succession ravaged Tess, Jin was sweating and completing the spell of reverse heaven.
Tess, who screamed, covered Jin’s face.
It seemed to say sorry.
‘It was enough.’
The moment the two remaining lightning spears were about to stab Tess, the chant of reverse heaven ended.
Tess turned into a handful of sparks and disappeared into the portal again, and the broken chains of fire scattered to the floor.
Kaaaang…!
A huge orb of inverted heaven rose above the pale sky. Soon, as the magic of the reverse flow spreads, the lightning spears blur and lose their way.
A trickle of blood flowed between Valeria’s lips. The energy of the reverse sky was overturning her magical power.
At the same time, Jin also vomited a handful of blood. Cry! Jin bent his back and vomited black blood, and quickly looked around.
Although early symptoms of reflux spread.
Five lightning spears still embroider the air.
‘Anyway, it’s a monster…’
Among the 8-star wizards in the world, there will be no one who can do it like Valeria.
She, too, suffered extreme magical power consumption by spreading five lightning spears and flame magic in a short time. If I lost my concentration just once, I could fall into the regurgitation myself.
However, Valeria endured even the reverse. She had been waiting for the reversal to unfold, holding her mana tightly from a while ago.
“Magical regurgitation is only experienced by those who do not handle magic well…”
Queer.
Valeria’s complexion, which spat blood, was quickly regaining stability. At the same time, the dimmed lightning spears began to follow her control again, seeking color.
“Maybe you have something hidden? It can’t end so blandly.”
Jin didn’t answer and made eye contact with Valeria for a while.
Then he slowly moved towards Valeria.
“No, I lost. There is nothing more I can do.”
“lie.”
“I want to see you a little closer one last time.”
Jin limped slowly and barely moved to Valeria.
With every step he took, the blood flowing from his mouth, ankles and ears soaked the heated sand.
Jeobjeok jebuk…
“If you come closer, I will shoot the spear. You must have something hidden.”
“I have never lied to you.”
“…Did I expect too much?”
“Isn’t this enough for sixteen?”
“That thought was holding you back. you could have been stronger And stop now, and if you come any closer, I will shoot the spear.”
The distance between the two is ten steps.
‘It’s one step short.’
While walking, Jin figured out which lightning spear Valeria would use until the end. The reversal was only for one reason.
‘The lightning spear on the left edge.’
It was the only thing that didn’t blur even after the inverse stream unfolded.
‘If you charge, all five will be shot, but only one will remain until the end. Valeria must have run out of magic as well.’
Even if they only managed to avoid two, it was half a success. One of the remaining three will block two and remain until the end, aiming for Jin again and again.
I had to hold on.
Can this bridge do it? With a boneless ankle…
There was no point in arguing about that. If you can’t do it, it’s just death.
The moment Jin’s wobbly legs took a step again.
“Look at this!”
Valeria widened her eyes and swung her staff. Jin threw himself into the seat where she was standing on the side of the lightning spear.
short jump.
The first window missed. The spear that passed Jin disappeared like a flame and scattered into the air.
The second spear hit the middle of the torso exactly.
If it hadn’t been for the black gauntlets, it would have been pierced. Empty! When the spear hit the armor, Jin vomited blood, but Valeria unexpectedly bit her lip. The second window also disintegrated and disappeared.
As Jin, who had managed to balance himself, charged again, Valeria aimed the third spear more carefully.
“Looks like you don’t have much magic. I see the lightning bolts are going out.”
Valeria shoots the spear without answering.
However, contrary to expectations, the third thing that flew in was a real lightning spear. Together with the fourth and fifth windows.
When the remaining three guns were fired at the same time, Jin activated Multa’s rune. The real lightning spear that flew into the head was blocked, and the rest of the spears were aiming for the thigh.
The distance between the two took five steps, but he collapsed with both thighs left behind. When the lightning spears that pierced his thighs disappeared, only the real spear that Jin predicted in the first place remained.
before his head fell to the floor.
He reached for the ground with his hand and pushed the sand with all his might. With that alone, I was able to narrow it down to about five steps.
“joy!”
Valeria backs away and draws her wand. Following the movement of the tip of the wand, a real lightning spear was shot toward Jin’s back.
Jin, who was floating in the air after a somersault, had no way to avoid it.
Instead, he took out the dagger he had been hiding in the sleeve of his robe.
Then, with all his might, he threw it at Valeria’s neck. A dagger stained black with aura.
