Episode 98
EPISODE.49
It was clearly dangerous to split consciousness in the midst of a fierce battle of magic and magic.
If I made a mistake, I could have suffered more damage than expected.
Nevertheless, it was precisely for this magic that the consciousness was divided, even at the cost of a certain amount of damage.
The frost and ice scattered throughout the stadium are woven together and form a huge magic circle in themselves.
Gooooooo-.
The surrounding magic quickly froze and snow began to blow.
Although it was not perfect, it was powerful enough to change even the weather phenomenon in the area.
Russell’s consciousness accelerated greatly due to the presence of a magic circle flowing pure white magical power.
I read the complicated, tangled flow of magic.
Even if it wasn’t all ten percent, I was able to vaguely make out the shape of the magic.
‘On this scale-?’
What Alan Page was trying to unleash was a magic spell that could cover the entire stadium.
If hit correctly, it is powerful enough to freeze an entire army with just one magic shot.
Although it belongs to the 5th circle, its power was a magic that exceeded the limits of the circle.
For comparison, it would be like a frozen version of Mjöllnir of Thunder Giant.
‘No, maybe it’s more than that.’
Wasn’t it a magic that wasn’t simply unfolded, but was completed with Jin’s assistance?
The magic circle has already been completed and activated a long time ago, and it is impossible to avoid it.
If possible, it would be best to destroy the magic before it was completed, but that seemed impossible.
The magic that flowed along the magic circle was converted into solid ice crystals and protected Alan, who was floating in the air.
Even if you use magic to break through that defense, the magic will already be complete.
At that time, I had no choice but to be directly hit by magic.
As if foreshadowing that the magic would be on a different level than before, a strong gust of wind began to blow inside the magic barrier.
“Hmm-.”
Russell let out a white breath as the chill gripped his entire body and increased his magical power.
Grumbling-.
Russell thought as he felt the fire-attribute mana swirling around his entire body’s mana rod and the chill disappearing at a rapid pace.
‘If I can break through this magic, I win.’
This magic should be thought of as Alan’s wholehearted effort. It is certainly true that it is a great magic, but I have no intention of being subjected to it obediently.
‘then… … .’
As soon as he made the decision, flames flowed from Russell’s fingertips.
The flowing flames take the shape of a spear, and electricity engulfs the spear.
Gae bulg, six-heavy nest.
The magic power concentrated at one point begins to build up as if it will explode at any moment.
The time it took for the series of processes to flow together was literally a split second, and in that time, Alan’s magic had already been completed.
A fierce ice storm hovered above Alan’s head in the form of a huge sphere.
Creep, crease, kagagagaga!
The sharp wind flowing from the end swings like a whip and strikes the ground.
Each time, the split ground froze in place.
In comparison, the sight of Russell enduring the ice storm while relying only on a spear made of flame was so small that it was even pitiful.
However, that is a story that only criminals who have not been able to read the magical power within Gaebolg would tell.
“It’s a battle between magic concentrated at one point and magic radiated widely.”
“If the flame spear breaks through the ice storm and reaches the magic body, the youngest will win. If the other way around, it will be your child’s victory.”
Checking the situation inside the magic barrier, the two great wizards assessed the future situation.
Contrary to their seemingly carefree tone, the two had already raised their magical power.
Oops! – The current of magical energy rushing within the wall was so unusual that two people had to intervene at that moment.
Although he is still immature to be called a 6th circle wizard, he is overwhelmingly superior compared to other 5th circle wizards.
If there had been another wizard here, he would have said this upon seeing that scene.
It’s absurd.
At that very moment, a massive ice storm rushed towards Russell.
Kwagwagwagwa-!
The cold is so intense that it makes you think that not only space and magic, but also time might be frozen.
Before the magic reached him, the sharp wind that flowed in its wake struck the ground around Russell.
bang!
One step at a time, Russell swung his spear, dodging the storm of blades.
He kicked away the sharp wind blowing towards him.
The snow and Gaebolg’s flame collide, creating pure white steam.
bang!
Russell took two steps, turned his body, and used that power to bounce off two sharp winds at the same time.
bang!
Taking three steps, the spear thrust forward cleared away the gathering snowstorm.
Finally, it collided with an ice storm.
Kwagwagwagwagwa-!!
What rings in Russell’s ears is a roar that turns heaven and earth upside down.
The rushing cold froze my robe and hair from the tips.
Some of the frozen parts could not withstand the strong winds and crumbled into ice crystals.

Pasasak-.
‘Tsk-.’
Inside, Russell gritted his teeth. He rotated the Gae Bolg in his hand and stretched it forward once again.
――――――!!!
Overlapping, explosion!
The Explosion spell contained within explodes the magic and at the same time stops the advance of a huge snowstorm.
The bursting flames rushed to the front.
The bright red flames flickered like a snake’s tongue, cutting away the flames.
‘next-!’
Double layer, explosion!
Triple overlap, explosion!
――――――――――――!!!
Will the explosion of fire created by Russell cut down the ice storm first, or vice versa?
What remains is a battle of strength and power.
and.
It didn’t take long for the fight to come to a conclusion.
.
.
It is said that in situations where consciousness is compressed to the limit, even the passage of time feels slow.
The battle between Russell and Alan was also like that.
The moment that felt like ten minutes to the two people was only seconds to the outside.
After the bright light flickered, what came out was an overwhelming shock wave.
Kwagwagwagwagwagwa!
Otherwise, the battlefield, which was a complete mess, was completely destroyed.
The ground flipped and distorted like waves, and the remaining shock waves rushed to the magic barrier.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo!
The barrier created by the two archmages of the 8th Circle vibrated loudly and trembled, and the sand dust rose high and obscured their vision.
“Cluck, cough.”
Inside, someone coughed dryly.
It was almost immediately after that the two archmages, convinced that the outcome had already been resolved, disarmed the magic barrier.
Hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
The blowing wind blows away the sand dust that was filling the inside of the wall.
The first person to appear was Russell.
He must have lost his strength, sitting down on the floor and coughing dryly.
His clothes were truly rags.
The robe he was wearing had long since turned into ice powder and disappeared, and his top was torn in several places and turned into a rag.
Moreover, there was white frost all over the body.
Afterwards, even the remaining half of the sand dust disappears, revealing Alan as well.
Unlike Russell, who collapsed, he was lying on his back.
To be precise, I would say that he fell because he didn’t even have the strength to stand.
“Puh-ha-ha!”
“… … ?”
Alan, who was lying down with his forearm resting on his forehead, suddenly burst out laughing.
Considering his usual appearance, it was a laugh that was completely out of character, and was both hearty and somewhat reassuring.
“I lost. I lost. “Lord Russell.”
Unlike himself, who found it difficult to lift a finger, Russell seemed to still have some spare time left.
‘Maybe I was expecting this situation.’
From the moment the gap narrowed at a rapid pace, I may have been anticipating this moment.
That premonition became half-confirmed when I went to visit the hospital the day before.
It was for that reason that I applied for a match.
I wanted to narrow this gap further and do my best to hit Russell before he overtook me.
After doing that, I thought it wasn’t a bad choice.
‘I feel relieved.’
That’s probably why even though we lost, we kept smiling.
At that time, Russell, who was sitting down, opened his mouth.
“to be honest… … .”
“-?”
“I was lucky.”
What Russell said was not a lie.
‘What would have happened if McRae Hughes had not had the experience of fighting that guy?’
Thanks to having experienced the Sword Master’s sword strike once, I was able to channel, deflect, and cut away the powerful ice storm.
Of course, even if that wasn’t the case, I wouldn’t have lost.
There were still a few more cards left in the hand, including Spirituality and Perfect Dragon Flower.
However, it was clear that because of that experience, they were able to win while leaving that paddle behind.
“that… … Is that so?”
Alan grinned, wondering how he took those words.
It was right after.
Each teacher approached us.
“Good job. “Thank you for your hard work.”
Saying that, Hemingway poured the potion into Allen’s mouth.
“That’s great. “You’re the youngest.”
Daria also placed her hand on Russell’s back and breathed magical power into it.
It seemed as if warm magical power was flowing in, driving away the chill that had penetrated every part of my body.
Soon, the frozen Mana Rod regained its original form, and at the same time, the breath also regained its warmth.
Regardless, the damage Russell suffered was significant.
At that time, Hemingway said to Russell as he retrieved the empty potion bottle.
“Bloom the dragon. I never would have guessed that he was hiding the bloodline of a high-ranking dragon. “Smart guy.”
“-yes?”
Russell tilted his head at his unexpected words.
It was a natural reaction since he was unaware of the conversation that took place outside the magic barrier.
“joy. Hiding it. There are stupid wizards in the world who cheat on their cards. Inspiration?”
Daria, who had been giving warmth to Russell, scolded him, and Hemingway, who had been silent for a moment, continued speaking.
“Anyway, I admit defeat this time. The winner of this bet is you. “Oh no.”
The emphasis this time around is not simply an illusion.
Honestly, I knew it would be harder to win next time, but I didn’t want to fall behind.
As if he could clearly read his teacher’s thoughts, Alan also giggled softly.
“joy. Inspiration. Could it be that you forgot the details of the bet? Otherwise, there is no way the Lord of the Tower of Heaven would come and wipe his mouth now… … .”
Hemingway groaned at Daria’s provocation as if he would not lose.
“Grunt.”
I nodded with a sigh.
“A promise is a promise. “I have to protect it.”
[You have completed the mission.]
[As compensation, we will provide you with a top-quality magic stone (edible).]
[The relics of the New Age scheduled as compensation will be delivered through Hemingway.]
A notification sound was heard.
