Chapter 96: Duel (Part 2)

  "Shooting Star Fire Rain" magic not only has the ability to attack with flames, but each fireball is equivalent to a primary "Fireball Technique" magic. Moreover, the fireballs falling from the sky also have physical attacking power. If one is hit by the fireballs, they will not only be burned to death by the flames, but the impact force of the fireballs can also pierce through a half-inch thick wooden board.

  Originally, this magic requires about thirty seconds of preparation before it can be released. However, Yang Sen used a scroll, which is a one-time-use magical item that allows the magician to release high-level magic without prior preparation. The value of a magic scroll is extremely expensive, almost equivalent to the income of an average household for half a year. If not in a life-or-death situation, generally no one would be willing to use a scroll.

  I never expected that Yang Sen would use a scroll on someone like me, who only has the title of primary magician. However, the current situation no longer allows me to hesitate, and I once again unfolded a high-level defensive magic "Absolute Defense" within my own magical shield, which is now the only thing that can withstand it.

  A massive fireball had already come crashing down the moment I activated "Absolute Defense", my outer layer of magical shields was quickly shattered by countless fireballs, the "Absolute Defense" spell formed a transparent magical barrier around me, the fireballs crashed against it with flashes of white light, while on the ground, the water elemental giant had long been smashed by dense fireballs and dissipated in a burst of steam.

  When the fireball dissipated and I appeared in front of Yang Sen, I saw his complacent eyes transform into an extremely astonished expression. For no reason, I felt a thrill of excitement in my heart. Under his shocked gaze, I flashed him a sly smile, and even I could feel the boundless evil within my grin.

  I used the same magic as Yangsen, "Meteor Shower", and my magic also almost didn't need any preparation time, because it combined with the spirit's casting method, the casting speed was doubled. When Yangsen's magic ended, mine had already been cast. My fireballs were smaller, but more dense, and... Nante taught me to add a special effect to this magic - my fireballs would explode, each one falling like a flame bomb, rapidly bursting open, after being compressed the fireball landed and infinitely expanded producing a huge impact force and high temperature. Although due to the venue's restrictions it intentionally reduced the range, its power didn't decrease at all.

  When the "Meteor Shower" had finished its wild bombardment, the dust finally settled on the ground. I didn't see Yang Sen standing, but instead saw a charred figure writhing on the ground, with a broken magic wand scattered in pieces around him. The crystal at the tip of the wand had also been shattered into powder. I thought that Yang Sen must have used up all his magical energy, even using up the remaining energy stored in the crystal to create a sturdy magical shield for himself, allowing him to survive this powerful magic. This was my first time using the improved version of this magic that Nai Te had modified for me, and I hadn't expected its power to be so enormous that even I didn't have full confidence in being able to emerge unscathed from it.

  Someone rushed into the field, reached out to check Yang Sen's nose, and shouted: "He's still alive, hurry up and take him for treatment!" Soon, Yang Sen, who was charred all over his body, was carried away, while I stared blankly at the ruins on the ground. This magic was really too powerful, its power was no less than the forbidden spell "Inferno" that I had released with all my might in the Spirit Forest, it's just that the range of this magic was smaller...

  When I was studying, due to the restrictions of the graveyard at that time, I couldn't try out the magic effect with my own hands. Today, I gave it a shot, and it's really too terrifying... I was thinking deeply, when a hand landed on my shoulder. I slowly turned my head around, and found it was Tissen brother. He still had no expression, but I saw the warmth in his eyes. I grinned at him and said: "Tissen brother, look, I won..."

  Tissen gazed at my face intently, as if he was going to drag me away for dissection and study, making my hair stand on end. Just when I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to escape, he finally spoke up: "Your magic seems a bit different from before, tell me, where did you learn this? When Ankhara teacher taught us magic back then, it wasn't like this."

  I smiled at him with a hint of eeriness and said, "I grilled the fish..." I didn't tell the truth, after all, I couldn't possibly tell him that I learned magic from a ghost, that would be too unbelievable. Moreover, this seemed to involve someone close to the Church with almost divine power, and I didn't want to reveal this matter to Brother Tissen and bring unnecessary trouble.

  Obviously, Tissen also knew that I wasn't telling the truth, and he rolled his eyes at me a few times, saying: "Don't want to say it, I don't want to hear it either."

  While I was speaking, Tyrone walked over and bowed slightly to me, saying: "Alyric the magician, Grand Magister Darent invites you to come over." Although Tyrone's tone was still gentle, his attitude towards me had clearly become more affectionate and respectful than when we first met. After the duel just now, my strength had obviously gained his recognition, rather than being treated as an insignificant junior magician with care and tolerance.

  "Come on, go and settle things, then come to my place. My house is the fourth one on the left from the transmission array. Your sister-in-law is also there, she's been nagging me about your roasted fish until I'm fed up with it. I'll go tell her you're coming, so be sure to come over as soon as possible. Otherwise... humph, you know what will happen." As he let out those two ominous hums, I couldn't help but recall the scene of Lila chasing me down. I hastily nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely go visit my sister-in-law as soon as I'm done with things." Only then did Tyson flash a satisfied smile and float away.

  I turned to stare at Tyrone, who was staring back at me in a daze. "Thanks for the trouble, Tyrone the magician," I said, and then headed off. Tyrone nodded thoughtfully and grabbed my arm, asking with interest, "Is Tissen's wife really that fierce? I've met her once before, she seemed like a gentle lady." I rolled my eyes at him and said, "When we were learning magic, our teacher warned us that any truth is hidden behind an appearance that seems different. Has Tyrone the magician forgotten this principle?" After finishing speaking, I left Tyrone looking enlightened and walked towards the three great magicians outside the arena.
