Chapter 31: The Strongest Magician Ever Made
"You're looking for the strongest magician?" the bartender looked at the child in front of him curiously, his tone full of surprise. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Just now, this silver-haired boy who looked to be only six or seven years old walked into the bar. He looked like he was in the dust, carrying a backpack that was a bit big for him, with a short staff on it, and he seemed to be traveling at a young age.
Maybe it's a little magician, and when they saw the short staff behind the boy, people speculated. Because of the magic, it was not too shocking for such a young or even young magician to travel alone, and the bartender did not knock him out of the bar like any other child, and being able to travel alone was in a sense a sign of "adulthood".
The boy walked straight to the bar and asked bluntly, "Do you know where the strongest magician here is?"
The drinker next to him asked, "What are you looking for the strongest magician?" You look like you're also a magician, aren't you going to challenge......?"
The boy didn't care about the ridicule of others, and said seriously: "That's right, I really want to surpass the strongest magician and make myself the strongest!" But I know that my current ability is far from enough, so I have to learn from the strongest magician first. β
"It's really ambitious. β
The boy reluctantly asked, "How is it? You must know something, right?" Please, please tell me!" He looked at the adults around him with anticipation.
Finally, someone replied: "If you want to say the strongest magician, the Northern Continent is really Ulu, right?"
"yes, yes. β
"That's right!"
"That's it!"
Hearing this, everyone else in the bar agreed, and it seemed that the magician named Uru did have convincing strength.
The boy suddenly became excited: "Where? Where is Ulu?"
"Two years ago, I heard that I had gone to the mountains to live in seclusion because of the loss of my daughter......," said the bartender, "and if you go to the village in the mountains and ask, someone will know." β
"Thank you very much!"
β¦β¦ Is this hell? yes, hell, I must be dead, right?
β¦β¦
"Leo, come here, there's another survivor here!"
Someone is talking, who is it, is there anyone else? Strange, isn't this hell?
"The boy was so lucky that he only suffered some skin injuries. β
Woman's voice, who is it? I'm not dead?
"It's so miserable, this village and town have been completely destroyed. It was a boy's voice, "It's too fast, it only took less than a day to destroy this place, the demon is really that powerful?"
"Stop talking nonsense, come and help save people!"
Do you mean save me? Looks like I'm still alive...... But did I see hell?
The black-haired boy struggled to open his eyes, and what caught his eye was a short-haired woman looking at him with concern on her face, and a silver-haired boy next to her.
"Look, he's awake!" said the silver-haired boy.
Young Gray ignored the two men and looked around.
Ruins, wrecks, ruins, wrecks, unembered sparks, charred wreckage...... Ah, sure enough, I'm still in hell!
β¦β¦
"Uru, can you take down Daliola?" asked Leo, the silver-haired boy.
With short hair, this woman named Ulu looks a bit androgynous, adding a bit of heroism. Hearing her disciple's inquiry, she couldn't help but show a bitter expression: "Daliora, I can only promise not to be defeated by it now, because that demon has the characteristics of immortality, and with my level, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do with it." β
"Eh......" Leo was a little disappointed, "I thought Uru would be able to defeat it." Uru is the strongest magician, and if you can't defeat it, won't there be no one to defeat Daliora?"
Ulu smiled bitterly: "I've said it all, I'm far from being the strongest, there are more guys stronger than me in this land." β
"Lie to people. Leo muttered, "I can't tell you who is better than you every time I ask you, or it's the magician who died a long time ago......"
Uru shook her head helplessly, her ability was indeed at the top of the continent in the northern region, and she really couldn't surpass herself among the people she knew...... She has been in seclusion for a long time, and basically no longer has contact with the magic world, so naturally she doesn't know who are still alive. So he was mistaken for the "strongest magician" by this cheap apprentice who suddenly came to the door.
Leo complained, "Alright, Uru, teach me some powerful tricks, it's been a year, and you're just letting me do some basic exercises." You can't beat a powerful opponent like this, didn't you say that the ice shape magic is very strong, you can't see it at all!"
"I can teach you a long time ago, don't complain. As I said, as long as you find your own 'shape', the modeling magic can become infinitely powerful!"
"Teach me magic!" On the bed next to him, Gray suddenly got up and shouted, "Please, you must teach me magic!"
"Huh, when did you wake up?" Leo was startled and looked over, "Don't worry, this is Uru's home......"
Gray didn't care about any of this, and stared at Uru: "Please teach me magic!"
He vaguely heard the exchange between the two when he was sober, and the words of the strongest magician instantly activated his heart. If you learn powerful magic, you can get revenge!
Uru looked at the weak but angry boy, she immediately understood the other party's thoughts, but she did not want the child to embark on that almost fruitless path of revenge, because of her own strength, no one knows the horror of Daliora better than herself: "You ......" She suddenly saw the stubbornness in the boy's eyes and the deeper gloom, which was a bottomless sadness. I couldn't help but give up useless exhortation.
Ulu smiled softly: "My cultivation is very hard, if you can keep up, come here." β
In the snow-capped mountains of the north, the wind is cold. Looking at the two disciples who were practicing not far away, Ulu looked up at the far west in the wind:
"Another troubled teenager...... It seems that I am destined to take care of these small bear children. β
"Ice shape, shield!"
"Ice shape, Great Ape!"
"Ice shape, sledgehammer!"
"Ice shape, Asuka!"
On the snow, two teenagers cast their magic one after another. Their talents are so great that even the later Gray has mastered all the tricks of ice modeling magic after more than a year of practice, and all that remains is to keep practicing and find his own "shape".
Uru watched from the sidelines, feeling a sense of relief that when she was about to give up the path of the magician, there were two such wonderful disciples who could inherit her magic and inherit her path...... However, there are still problems, Leo and Gray are geniuses, but they also have problems that are no less than their respective talents, or obsessions.
Leo's original goal of learning magic from himself was to defeat and surpass himself, and even now, all he was motivated to work so hard was to surpass himself. It's not a problem for a disciple to surpass the master in itself, but it's a big problem when this becomes the only goal: one day, Leo will surpass himself, but after that, will he still have the motivation to keep going?
And Gray's problem is even more serious, no matter how hard Uru tries in this year, he still can't dissolve the darkness in the boy's heart, if Leo's obsession is to surpass himself, then Gray's obsession is revenge, revenge on Daleola, is all his motivation to move forward.
This motivation is so strong, which is why Gray has improved so fast, and even caught up with Leo, who practiced a year earlier. However, the same question is, when revenge is over, does he have the motivation to continue? Taking a step back, whether he can succeed in revenge is a huge question, and it is likely that Deliora will be a shadow that he will never get around in his life!
Because of the hatred in his heart, Gray's personality has become distorted and unruly. Ulu was worried.
Uru took two disciples to the town to purchase daily necessities, and although the snow covered the mountain, it was not a problem at all for the three ice magicians.
But others won't go far at this time, and the road is a little empty. The three of them walked a long way before they saw a carriage slowly passing by.
ββ¦β¦ Deliora reappeared...... "There was a faint sound of conversation coming from the car.
Gray stopped abruptly and looked back to listen.
"Where is it again this time?"
"In Prague Generation. β
"So peace has been restored in Isbang......
β¦β¦
The car gradually moved away, but the key information was already heard "Daliora", "Prague"!
Gray threw down the item in his hand, and the anger that had been hidden in his heart for a long time exploded instantly.
"Calm down, Gray!" quickly shouted Leo, who noticed that something was wrong with his junior brother.
Uru, who was no less sensitive to the word "Deliola" than Gray, suddenly said badly, and the long-buried bomb was finally detonated, and she watched sadly as her beloved disciple's pupils were once again engulfed in darkness.
In the evening, at the dining table. Gray finally put down the bread in his hand: "Master, I have decided!"
"Are you crazy? you want to challenge that monster!" Leo couldn't help but say, "Stop, that's impossible!"
Uru also said, "That's right, you're so helpless to rush forward now! β
Gray took a deep breath: "I know, but I have to get my revenge...... It destroyed my home, killed my family! I must take revenge!"
Gray walked to the door and pushed it open, and the wind and snow outside the house blew indoors, and the temperature plummeted. Gray plunged headlong into the snow, "I know you're afraid of Dariola, but I'm not afraid of it!
Uru came to the door, his expression became extremely serious: "Gray, come back to me! Give you one last chance, otherwise, you will be expelled from the division!"
"Whatever you want!" Gray paused, then quickly became firm again, "If I die this time, it's your fault for not teaching me powerful magic!" The young man's voice was unspeakably cold and vicious.
Gray drifted away, away from the house where he had lived for a year, away from the master and brother who had been with him for a year, and away from the "home" that could have been his own new life. He embarks on a path of revenge without hesitation, and with his anger and hatred, Gray is empowered, and with this anger, he feels that he can tear everything apart, even against Daliora!
However, many times, the absolute power gap is not something that can be bridged by a mere anger.
The fire burned out the air, and suddenly there was a fresh, crisp cool smell in the scorching environment. Gray came to his senses slightly. Everywhere you look, it's a mess, ruins and fires, just like Isbang a year ago......
"No...... It's not like that......" Gray shuddered, "how could it be...... Such. β
Isn't there no difference at all? What is the point of your own efforts in the past year!
"Ice shape, shotgun impatiens!" The familiar voice sounded not far ahead, and the surrounding chill was even stronger, dispelling the scorching heat brought by the flames, and in the sound of ice crystals shattering, countless ice crystal projectiles roared out, hitting the behemoth in the distance-Daliora!
"Ulu ......" Gray saw the familiar figure of the master, and immediately followed by his side, and his brother Leo also fell not far away, "Why, is it here?"
"Gray, are you awake?" Uru's voice came, but he didn't look back, still closely monitoring Deliora's movements, "Sure enough, it's too reluctant to fight while protecting you, take Leo and leave!"
Gray asked, "Why are you here? Haven't I been expelled from the school?"
Uru smiled, "Even so, you are my favorite disciple." β
Gray picked up Leo and shouted at Uru, "Master, go quickly, it's too dangerous here!" His heart was full of guilt and self-blame, and even more endless loss - after becoming a magician, he saw the gap between himself and Daliora more clearly, and he had to admit in humiliation that he might never succeed in revenge.
Uru sighed, "I'm going to stay and cover the evacuation of you and the other civilians. I'm afraid I'm the only one in the entire Northland who has the ability to do this. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have allowed this 'natural disaster' level demon to run rampant for so long.
Leo also woke up leisurely at this moment, and looked at Uru who was fighting with hope: "Uru, you're going to get serious and kill Daliora, right? Uru is the strongest magician, and he can do it, right?"
Uru said, "Didn't I say it a long time ago? I'm not the strongest...... The most I can do at this moment is to cover everyone's retreat. β
"Impossible! Uru is the strongest!" Leo looked shaken, "It must be the strongest!I always believe in this, if you lose to this monster, you will betray my long-standing beliefs......"
Leo ...... In many cases, the world does not change because of a person's beliefs. β
Leo couldn't listen to Uru at all, and struggled to shake off Gray's support and stepped forward: "Since Uru doesn't want to get serious and take it down, then it's up to me!"
Leo stood still facing the giant demon, his hands stretched out, straight in front of him.
"That stance!!βwhere did you learn this magic!" Uru said in surprise.
Leo replied, "Because you haven't taught me powerful magic, I learned this trick 'Absolute Freeze' in the magic book in the warehouse!
As he spoke, the silver-haired boy's small body erupted with surging magical power, which was not at all like the magic level possessed by a magician of this level!
"If you can't kill Dariola anyway, seal it completely!"
"Stop!" Uru shouted, "did you see the end of that book?...... the consequences of using this magic?"
The magic power fluctuations intensified instantly, and the magic array under his feet shone with an unprecedented dazzling light, and the huge magic power soared into the sky, completely attracting Deliola's attention.
"Stop!" Uru had to freeze Leo and forcibly stop him from casting his spell, "This magic is to sacrifice the body of the releaser to turn into eternal ice!"
"However, this kid is right, this is probably the only way to defeat Daliora. Uru stepped forward, "Even Leo is like this, it's really not worrying......
"Ulu ...... What are you going to do?" Gray felt a sudden wave of trepidation.
"Looks like I'm going to have to do the same thing as Leo. Uru breathed a long sigh of relief, at this time Deliola was completely attracted by the magic just now, and it was probably impossible to evacuate safely. And at this time, Deliola is not only a demon, but also a shadow in the hearts of her two disciples, especially Gray.
In this case, then as a master, he can't simply walk away: "Don't try to get close to my disciples!
With his hands crossed and the same movements as Leo, he erupted with even more powerful magic, and the cold air that escaped extinguished all the flames in the town.
"Absolutely frozen!"
The intense white light almost blinded Gray's eyes, but he didn't care about it at the moment, and leaned in the direction of the master against the magic fluctuations: "Ulu! Master!"
But I saw Ulu's body gradually dissipate in the light: "Master, the body is ......"
"Didn't you say that?" Uru's voice said, clear but somewhat ethereal, "this magic is to turn the body into eternal ice. β
"Gray, when Leo comes to his senses, tell him I'm dead. If he had known that I had only been frozen in ice, he would have spent his life searching for a way to unravel this magic...... In that case, there would be no point in me turning into ice......"
"Don't!" Gray tried to get closer.
"I hope that Leo can take a good look at the world and see that there are many powerful magicians in the world. Hopefully he can find a better target than me in the future......"
"Don't do that!"
"Of course, Gray, you too...... Don't be sad ......"
"Please, don't leave us!" Gray burst into tears, "I promise to listen to you in the future!"
ββ¦β¦ I'm alive, I'm ice, I'm alive forever......"
"Don't ......" Ulu's figure has dimmed to the point of near-transparency.
"The darkness in your heart is sealed by me!"
"No!Uru!!"
Uru's last remaining face looked to the far west, and finally sighed:
Unexpectedly, it was a farewell. Peace be upon you for the rest of your life, Woz.
Uru Mirkovich, the youngest Ice-shaped Archmage in history, took the form of Ice in 774 and sealed the demon Deliola of the Plague.
Six huge magic arrays spread out around Daliora, and an endless chill reigned over the world, as if it was about to completely freeze the entire space. The demon began to struggle continuously, but the amplitude of its movements became smaller and smaller, and eventually, it was completely sealed in a huge piece of ice.
