"Damn, is the difference in strength so obvious?"

The arrogance of the past had completely vanished from Ryan's face after witnessing and experiencing the opponent's desperate fighting prowess, and it was only after regaining his balance that the fierce former bandit felt the pain in his chest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It wasn't the flames that hurt him, but the rubble that had been kicked up by the explosion. The sharp stone cut through the man's leather armor, which was only a thin layer of leather armor, and also made a few cuts in the rough skin behind it, and the wound that gradually cooled down began to bleed at this moment.

"Damn it, these damn mages!"

The pain instead stimulated madness, and a sentence scolded the 150,000 people in the school capital but didn't realize how many people this angry word would cover, and turned around, staring at Stardiri with a strong murderous intent.

"Kill. ”

The thought in his mind was no longer "to overcome" but "kill", and then, with the idea of rushing to attack even if he could not break through the opponent's defenses, he strode forward, only to find that he was hindered again.

The knight's figure suddenly appeared between the bald man and Stardiri.

......

......

......

"Can't you?"

At the same time as striking out the "Flash of Holy Light", he also chose to get close to the enemy, and the knight, who knew that long-range combat was not a place for him to play, of course, also understood that it was impossible to hit the opponent with the attack just now, and at most he was forced to expose some more moves.

To be honest, the difference in strength is bigger than you think, which can be determined by the fact that you can't see the opponent's casting action clearly and Ryan's dagger attack can't penetrate its protective barrier. As things stand, the somewhat simple tactics that had been agreed upon were unlikely to work.

Thinking like this, Brant changed direction as he went, deciding to join Ryan first and then make plans.

"Whew...... Feeling tired?"

His eyelids grew heavy between gasps.

......

"Brant!

"Huh?"

Suddenly realizing that he had been a little distracted in the battle, the knight was "woken" by the rough voice of his companion, and Brant, who came back to his senses, suddenly stopped his progress, only to find that he had deviated much from the direction he had originally expected.

What's going on?

"Bang!"

The next moment, there was a muffled sound in his ears that had been quiet, and in his astonishment, Brant suddenly noticed that his vision had been tilted, and a sharp pain immediately spread from his chest.

“......”

Stardiri, who appeared next to Brant at some point, had an expressionless knee that knocked the knight's tall body into the air in an instant.

"He just ...... Did you do anything?"

"I don't understand, I should be suspicious of what he did, right?"

The chatter rang out again. In the eyes of onlookers, before the start of this battle, Stardiri was just an ordinary B-rank student who was mistakenly recognized as the strongest person in the school, and this "B-class" title was quite "watery".

In fact, it is easy to underestimate the strength of people who do not like to express themselves, which is a common weakness of human beings.

Now, the perception of Stardiri has changed dramatically. The protective enchantment and the skill of casting magic at great speed in the previous battle were enough to make people who were not fools recognize his strength, but this time, what happened right under everyone's noses made them even more unable to judge the strength of this man.

"Why? Why did Stardiri just walk up unhurriedly and not notice it in the slightest?"

Separately, it is worth mentioning that only Troy explicitly raised his own doubts.

"It's very simple, the knight must have been 'hypnotized'. ”

And by his side, Wissa's seemingly casual response was quicker than every previous one.

......

......

......

"I would have made such a mistake...... It's so terrible that you don't even feel the flow of magic. What kind of state has this man reached in his mastery of magic?"

The contemptuous eyes of the other party and the slight retraction of his left knee appeared in the oblique and flipped vision, and the scene of the steel face ** magic circle appeared under his feet, realizing that he had unknowingly suffered a knee kick, and it was still the kind of attack, not to strengthen the "strength" or "speed", but to simply strengthen the "attack resistance", only the "defense" was improved.

Even so, the knight's heavy steel armor could not completely remove the force of the attack, and the dents were almost shattered.

"It's not just magic, it's also so good at physical ability? It's terrifying......

I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart. However, the knight, who had been well trained in combat and had calmed down immediately, understood what had just happened to him as he tried to stabilize his balance.

"Hypnosis" is explained as the use of magic to manipulate the other person to do what he wants him to do. This trick is considered to be more of a "cursed magic" than a type of "illusion", mainly because the simple concept of "illusion" is not accepted by mainstream theories of the magic system.

And the reason why Brant experienced the "horror" was that in addition to the huge amount of magic and the time required to release the two Achilles' heels, it was easier for people to detect that the spell being cast had become unfathomable in the hands of the other party.

"Hah!"

With a loud shout, the pain and the fear caused by it were thrown out of the clouds, and the frustration turned into fighting spirit, and Brant, who gave up regaining his balance and intensified the speed of his body's rotation, launched a counterattack, and the arm that increased his strength with the power of sinking swung the thin sword that was not suitable for chopping, but it brought out the sound of thunder breaking through the sky.

Will the weapon's magic, the ferocity of the thunder elemental attached to the blade, be able to hit Stardiri, or will this slash be able to split through his seemingly shadowy, hard-to-break protective barrier.

The answer is - it doesn't matter anyway.

"Bell!"

With a thud, a thunderbolt slammed into the azure protective barrier, causing it to ripple in layers.

But that's the only way to do it.

Despite the roar of wind and thunder, Brant's sword could no longer move forward!Not only that, but as Stardiri, who looked calm, pressed his palm against the protective barrier that made people feel chills after witnessing its defensive power, the sudden recoil force on the wall of light that seemed to be real and illusory bounced the knight's entire body out of the mouth that was already bleeding from the corner of his mouth.

Overwhelmingly powerful.
