Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 143 - [Absolute Armour]

'Swoosh'

In a grassland, a white-masked young man was rushing at Lucas without wasting any time.

'This [Combat mage] is directly going for the kill. Good.'

Until now, Lucas was making the first move and it worked for three matches; however, this time, his opponent didn't give him any time for making the first move.

Nevertheless, Lucas felt it was a good thing as he could finish the match even quickly if the opponent was attacking him first.

'Try to save the assassin energy.'

If he didn't want to save the assassin's energy, Lucas would have used [Shadow clones] to surprise the enemy; however, he had to save it for the later battles.

[Darkwind blades]

'Swoosh'

So, he decided to spend the energy from the Tamer's sea to fight for this round.

[Formless sword]

His opponent didn't stop his running as he used an invisible sword to deflect all the dark wind blades aimed at him as though they were nothing to him.

"Game over"

Even though Lucas was surprised with the [Combat mage]'s attack, he didn't bother to waste any time to use [Shadow jump] to appear behind the [Combat mage].

'Clang'

Lucas's attack was blocked by something invisible to the eye.

'Another invisible sword?'

Lucas frowned and hurriedly used his other hand to slash at his opponent.

"No, it is not over yet."

However, before Lucas' dagger touched [Combat mage]'s body, he revealed a slight smile on his face under his mask as he shouted, [Blast].

'Boom'

Soon, a huge explosion happened around [Combat mage].

'Swoosh'

'Phew…that was a close one.'

However, Lucas was keeping an eye on the surprise spells like that and before he could cast the spell name, Lucas used the [Shadow jump] to escape 10 meters away from [Combat mage].

"Huh? You dodged it?"

The white-masked young man was surprised to see Lucas had dodged his attack.

'As expected, he is a mage and a knight.'

Lucas was able to guess his opponent was a mage and that was the only reason why he was able to escape in a timely manner.

"Do you know, until now, I won 10 matches in the [Fighting arena] and all the wins were the result of this Intermediate spell [Blast]."

[Combat mage] spoke to Lucas in a calm smile as he continued speaking, "As for those who dodge that spell, they all win against me. Let's see whether I will be stuck in the same loop again or defeat you."

As soon as he finished his words, [Combat mage] didn't move from his place as though he was waiting for Lucas to attack.

'Huh? 10 wins? Is he chanting another spell now?'

Lucas listened to [Combat mage]'s words; however, he didn't think much about it; instead, he frowned at his current actions.

'Should I use this chance to kill him?'

Lucas didn't know why [Combat mage] would chant a spell while leaving his defences all open? It made Lucas vary about his opponent's actions.

'So be it. I will just be safe and use a spell of my own.'

With that thought in his mind, Lucas also stood in his place and chanted an advanced spell.

'Huh? He is not attacking and letting me complete my chanting?'

As Lucas expected, [Combat mage] was really chanting a spell; however, he was expecting Lucas to attack him. So, when he saw Lucas was not rushing towards him, he was a little disappointed.

'Let it be, unlike the previous times where I lost, this time I have an advanced spell. So, I am definitely going to win this battle and maintain my sixth winning streak.'

[Combat mage] silently thought to himself as he resumed chanting his spell.

Two minutes passed by in a flash and both fighters finished chanting their advanced spells; however, no one used their spells as though they were waiting for their opponent to use the spell first.

[Infernal bomb]

Finally, it was Lucas who condensed the [Infernal bomb] in front of him.

[Absoute armour]

Seeing that Lucas was using an attack-type spell, [Combat mage] heaved a sigh of relief as he directly used his spell.

Soon, a transparent armour appeared around [Combat mage] as he replied to Lucas, "I am going to win this."

With that said, [Combat mage] started running towards Lucas without fearing the [Infernal bomb] in front of Lucas.

"In your dreams."

Lucas scoffed at [Combat mage] as he skillfully controlled the [Infernal bomb] and threw it at [Combat mage]

'Boom'

A huge explosion compared to before occurred at the place where the [Infernal bomb] landed and was completely covered in the smoke where Lucas could see anything.

[Shadow clones]

'It is better to be safe than sorry.'

With that thought in his head, Lucas used a skill that he didn't want to use.

'Cough..cough'

Soon, he heard a coughing sound from the smoke and after the dust was settled, Lucas could see [Combat mage] was still alive with his broken armour coughing blood.

"Huh? You are still alive even after receiving a directly receiving my [Infernal bomb]. Looks like your advanced spell was also top-notch."

Lucas was surprised to see that [Combat mage] was still standing even after receiving an advanced spell.

"Cough…Your advanced spell was much more powerful than I expected."

[Combat mage] coughed as he replied to Lucas before saying, "I admit defeat."

'Swoosh'

As soon as he said that, [Combat mage] disappeared from his place which obviously meant he was ejected from [Fighting arena] after admitting defeat.

'More powerful than regular advanced spells? Maybe it was because of my special title [Fighting enthusiastic]'

Lucas thought about the temporary title he gained from the guide and shook his head.

'Ding,

          The host used 1000 units of magic points to use [Infernal bomb].

'Ding,

          100 units of magic points are recovered by the [Eternal recovery technique].

'Ding,

          Magic sea:- (999 units / 3000 units).

The system informed about the consumption of the magic power, making Lucas shake his head because he wanted to save as much magic power as possible for the upcoming matches.

'Nevertheless, I can't lose the current match too.'

Lucas didn't regret it as he changed the topic, 'Anyway, it is time to receive my bet money.'
