Chapter 153 Lismore City Fight 4
?
When I reached the two girls in front of me after conjuring the barrier, I released a sigh of relief.
"Found you."
Know that just because I am fast and precise doesn't mean I am invincible or anything, neither that means I am not prone to damage.
Therefore, I needed to be careful.
However, it was also true that this was a good practice ground for me to get used to this feeling of conjuring the barrier.
Since there were a lot of poison and fire-attributed mines that were planted on the ground, which also had a concealing magic over them, making my All Seeing Eye not as effective as it would, I had a slightly hard time keeping up with the barrier.
Just at that moment, the barrier model I came up with came in handy.
Since it was designed for such cases.
Because whenever I got attacked from a place, I only regenerated related surfaces, and then basically, the barrier was completed again.
Anyway, that was how I reached two girls in front of me who had the same color of eyes and hair.
'They are twins, huh?'
'All Seeing Eye.'
With my eyes turning polychromatic, I thought.
"What?"
While looking at the surprised girl in front of me.
--------------------------------
Name – Iris, the Venomous
Age – 19
Class – Plague Master
Mage Rank – 5-star
Knight Rank – 0-star
Attributes – Poison
-----------------------------------
With my eyes locked on the panel appearing beside me, my head started spinning.
'Wow, they are really talented, aren't they? To think, I could meet someone that reached the 5-star rank before the age of 20, right here.'
Since as people achieve higher ranks, it is also harder to get stronger; most of the time, a person would reach the 5th rank at the age of 23 if their talent is normal, and if they reach this rank before that, they would be labeled as having good talent.
That was how the developers explained the world organization, which means these girls in front of me have very good potential.
/SWOOSH/
However, as the saying goes, you can't get your eyes off your opponent in a battle.
With a pillar of green rising from the ground, the girl raised her hand.
"Poison Pillar."
/CRACKLE/
Of course, I was no fool like that to get my eyes off from my opponent.
'This girl, she is still trying to buy more time, huh?'
With lighting surrounding my body, I dodged the attack.
/SWOOSH/ /SWOOSH/
However, more pillars started being raised from the ground as well.
'From right!'
Seeing the mana, I dodged the pillar.
'Now, from my behind and my front at the same time.'
Normally I would really be at a disadvantage in such a confrontation where the magician was controlling the space.
However, neither I was normal, nor she was that talented.
'She is not that proficient in mage battles.'
My [All Seeing Eye] was a cheat, to begin with, and she was also not proficient with her controlling magic as well.
Even if I did not use my All-Seeing Eye, my mana sense alone would be enough to detect where her attack would come from.
'She had used the fast method to raise her rank, and she had yet to have good control over her mana.'
Seeing that, I immediately analyzed.
This was what I had said before.
If you achieve higher ranks too fast while not learning the basics enough, the way you control complex spells or aura circulation techniques would be predictable.
If achieving higher ranks is a talent, using your rank to suppress your enemy is also another talent a mage must have.
Just by having strong and fast fists, one can't be a world boxing champion, right?
Anyway, just as I thought this, I decided to finish this battle.
'Now, she will use the same technique.'
Sensing the three mana-concentrated points around me, I thought and then got ready as well.
'It should be around this time that I start my using normal magic as well.'
Thinking that, I started my chant.
"My will be done. Let things happen as I command."
With a chant that I had been practicing the same before, I deployed the same force field, this time imagining the coordinates around the girl behind who was trying to finish her cast.
"Huh?"
/THUD/
"AAAAH!"
Sensing something was amiss, the girl named Iris turned her attention to her back, only to see her sister being smashed to the ground.
"Don't stand right here; attack him."
"Ah!"
/SWOOSH/
With my sword raised, I flashed from my place, attacking the girl whose attention was broken.
/BOOM/
However, of course, if she was a mage, she was bound to have a card on her own.
With a blast of poison, she tried to brush me off.
'Sword of Annihilation. Null Space.'
However, I was ready for her move that was about to come.
With my sword making complex moves, I redirected the poison blast aimed at me.
'Sword of Annihilation. Bladesurge.'
And then, bolted towards the girl whose face I was smashing with my telekinesis magic.
/CLANK/
At least, that was what I had tried.
Because just as I was about to reach her, another attack aimed at my trajectory of movement intercepted my momentum and forced me to guard myself.
'Hmm? Who is this? I don't sense any other mana here?'
I thought after blocking the attack.
"Sigh…. You can't even do anything on your own, useless…. At least you peasants should do what you have paid for, aren't I right?"
In front of me was a man whose blonde hair was flowing through his waist.
"You…. Are you the one that killed my brother?"
With his hair fluttering, he asked with a shining aura all over his body.
Like he was oblivious to what was happening here….
'All Seeing Eye.'
Using the convenient magic tool that I always relied on, I locked my eyes with the man who was now looking at me with bored black eyes that were filled with darkness.
--------------------------------------
Name – Alvin Dalton
Age – 20
Class – Corrupted Knight
Mage Rank – 4-star
Knight Rank – 5-star
Attributes – Fire, Dark
---------------------------------------
'Ho? Seems like my final prey is here.'
Thinking that, I raised my sword.
"Yes, it was me…. Callius."
While answering his question.
