Chapter 396: Azure Sea Lord
Chapter 396: Azure Sea Lord
"Ah! So you haven't heard any stories about me?" Erwin said.
Placing his hand on his chin as he looked down at the sand the warrior continued to think aloud.
"Well, that makes sense. You're new to the academy."
Sighing, Erwin gave a smile and looked at Luke.
"I can't control my strength completely, so students avoid that part of the beach so they don't get hurt hahahaha"
This line surprised Luke, who was interested to know Erwin's power.
"Could you give me a demonstration?"
"Well, it's not really a problem. Just take care of yourself hahahaha"
"Sure" Luke spoke, as he took a few steps back.
"I had already finished my warm up anyway" Erwin said, as he stuck his spear in front of him, into the sand on the beach.
Erwin closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh. When he opened his eyes, suddenly his alégre demeanor changed to a serious face of determination. His eyes were now closed, staring at the spear in front of him.
Again, Erwin pulled all the air in front of him into his lungs. Then he grabbed the spear. His body began to glow with a faint blue light. Facing the sea with determination, the young man lifted the spear and began to rotate it with one hand.
With each movement of the young man, the sea moved. As if the boy's dance directly influenced the waves in front of him. With each swing he made with the spear, the waters moved with increasing intensity.
Until, with one last complete spin, all the waves joined together to form a gigantic wall of water in front of Erwin. Luke took a step back, surprised by the blue-haired wizard's display of power.
Erwin looked at the huge wall of water in front of him, knowing that he was the one responsible for keeping it intact. He concentrated, channeling his magic to strengthen the structure of the wave.
Erwin then spun his spear around his body with amazing speed. A part of the wave came flying in a jet towards the warrior, who controlled that water using his spear. A ring of water appeared around Erwin.
He began to spin the spear harder, and the water followed the movement, creating a spiral of water that rose into the sky. Suddenly, the spiral exploded into thousands of water jets, which flew in all directions. Luke was forced to duck to avoid being hit, but when he raised his head, he saw that Erwin had controlled all the water and had turned it into a fine rain that fell over the beach.
Erwin then put away his spear and turned to Luke, who was still in awe of the warrior's skill. "I'm still warming up," Erwin said with a smile.
[He's certainly the best water wizard we've encountered so far.]
'I still don't understand waterbending very well, it will be helpful to know him'
"You really are good at water magic" Luke said, clapping his hands together.
"Every mage in the academy has a focus, I'm just a wave lover" Erwin shouted, giving a smile.
The blue haired Mage then turned and looked again at the sea, where that wall of water was still up. Concentrating, the magician's eyes became sharper
Then, in an instant the magician stopped all his movements. He closed his eyes and held his spear in one hand, as if preparing to throw his spear.
At that moment, Erwin made a lunge and flew out into the wave. His spear guided him to that giant block of water, that wave remained high in the middle of the sea, but when the warrior came into contact with it, a gigantic hole appeared in its middle.
Out of that hole, the water took a backward course into a smaller wave that surged behind it. Luke and Balance were amazed to see Erwin being carried by that wave, he was smiling at them both.
The waves of the sea had held the back of the wizard, who was floating below the sun as if he were flying alone. A pair of wings made of seawater appeared on the back of the warrior, who leaned over and flew out below the water. Erwin dived with high speed and then used the propulsion of the water to return to the surface.
The tidal wave then crashed into the water, causing the sea to increase in intensity. Within seconds, Erwin was hurtling down to the sand. He came in with a strike from his spear, getting it into a rock that was close to Luke.
That rock was cut in half and the very sand Erwin was standing on turned to glass due to the heat of the impact. All the water around the blue-haired wizard's body evaporated in seconds, he then pushed his hair back, using his hand.
"Hahaha, it's very good to ride a wave" Erwin said, until his face changed abruptly into a worried one.
The Wizard turned to Luke, with a confused face.
"You didn't get hurt, did you? Wolf Boy, are you okay?" Erwin said, running toward Luke.
"Don't worry, nothing flew at me. But now it makes sense why they avoid that part of the beach" Luke commented.
"Yeah, it's my special corner. I'm always blowing the sand into glass, so you better watch where you step hahaha" Erwin said.
At that moment, Luke already knew that that mage was not just any person. His skill and mastery with water were too amazing. But soon it all made sense.
"Are you a golden pendant?"
"Ah! So you know that!" Erwin replied.
"Yes, Erwin Blackdraco. Also known as the Azure Sea Lord."
This made a bit of sense to Luke, just as proficiency in wind or mastery of academy knowledge were ways to earn a golden pendant, it was clear that there would be other students with focuses in other elemental fields.
For someone with as little time as Luke, getting stronger in these arts was ideal. Using magic was in Luke's opinion, a valid form and perhaps the best he could do to hit head on in the final battle with the state of Melki.
"Can you teach me a little?" Luke questioned.
"Hmm, I've never met anyone capable of mastering seawater like me." Erwin said.
Mastering seawater was a slightly more challenging task than simply controlling the humidity to create balls of water. When dealing with seawater, not only salt interferes but the very existence of waves, making controlling a large amount an extremely challenging task.
The blue-haired mage explained this phenomenon to Luke, who listened attentively.
"My way of controlling the water and simply feeling it. It's impossible to describe... My spear, the wavebreaker, it has a fluid mastery spell. But it's not only by it that I can control the waves" Erwin said, while pointing at his weapon that was still stuck inside the stone.
"I see, so you can control it even without your spear" Luke said, placing one of his hands on his chin.
Erwin then turned to Luke, and raising one of his arms, he slapped it away.
"Aqua Grip" The Blue mage said.
Again a current of water held Erwin, lifting him up. The mage began to move as if he were on a surfboard, up a spiral of water. Until again he was flying through the waters.
"Aqua Lord"
The water then changed into a kind of sea serpent, with a transparent light blue color. You could see how the layer of water formed a kind of water scale, along with thorns and even teeth in the mouth of that spell. On Erwin's head, a crown of water formed. That crown was spinning on top of his head, following a flow, it seemed to be alive.
On the back of the water mage was an amazing pair of wings, and several rings of water flowed around the mage's body. Protecting him as if he were an armor.
"Many speak here in this academy that the strongest field of magic is fire, or maybe air. But controlling the sea gives you powers far more impressive than any other line here. Powers that rival even the broteforge genes" Erwin said.
"Not only am I the Azure Sea Lord, I am also a master of salt" Extending his arms, the mage slapped his hands together, joining both hands.
That snake in seconds completely changed from that transparent appearance, to a white color. It was taking on a solid form, as if the entire surface was slowly connecting. Until finally, that magic, that creature, was completely made of salt.
The magician then snapped one of his hands out, and reached out creating a salt sword.
