Chapter 49: Alphonse vs. Troy (Part II)
Continuing from the previous topic, the spell Alphonse used at this time was the best of the mid-tier water magic: the "Spiral Water Cannon". The magic of the Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info is somewhat similar to the waterspout effect mentioned above, but in essence, it adds a spin to the "water cannon", which represents the water elemental magic that only has impact, so that it has a certain increase in power and propulsion speed.
However, the problem was that Alphonse did not aim the magic at Troy, and the trajectory of the water cannon was too far away from the boy.
As a result, the magic grazed the side of the scarlet wall unhindered, and the tentacles did not respond.
The dust rose to obscure the field of vision, and the moment he landed, he raised his arm to make the same magic roar out, and the middle-aged man's attack this time completely locked on to the enemy according to the location of the magic power, and suddenly, the column of water as thick as the pillar of the house spiraled out of thin air, pointing directly at Troy.
“...... Watch out!"
Over there, Vina, who was worried that Troy would not be able to detect the enemy's attack because of the obscured view around her, immediately realized that she was only worried in vain after shouting.
The last second was still focused on Vina, whose tears had stopped for a while, and the moment the sorceress noticed that there was a magic attack in the distance, the boy had already turned his attention to the direction of the attack.
It seems that while the tentacles can automatically defend against attacks, the boy also has a good ability to perceive magic.
While some were skeptical of Lance's assessment of him as "untalented", Vina cared that Troy really knew nothing about magic before inheriting Lance's magic, and didn't even possess the necessary conditions for casting magic - magic at all?
Or is his potential just untapped?
These are all speculations, and female magicians who have not been systematically trained in magic do not know what the real situation is. And that should have been an afterthought, for now, she could only pray that her downed companions were safe and that Troy would be able to defeat the enemy without incident...... No, he must not be allowed to live!
This man is too dangerous.
"Magic...... Is it magic?" the murmur reached Vina's ears, and while the boy was thinking to himself, the defensive barrier that had been stagnant in mid-air changed back into the form of tentacles, and under the will of Troy, half of them remained in the form of tentacles to protect their bodies, and the other half turned into fierce claws to meet the attack of water magic.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the water splashed, and the water cannon with destructive power no less than any kind of mid-level elemental magic was smashed in front of the Scarlet Red Claw, and it was completely unable to continue to advance for half a minute.
The enemy's attack was not over yet, and Vena sensed the fluctuations of magic on the surrounding surface at the same time, as if the boy knew in advance that Alphonse would take multiple attacks at the same time, and the tentacles that had withdrawn to protect him gathered into a circle in an instant, enveloping the two of them in it.
"Boom, boom!"
Immediately after, as the aura of brown elements permeated, dozens of sharp stone pillars had already broken through the ground.
"Tsk, isn't it useless?" Alphonse couldn't help but smack his lips as he sensed that his opponent's magic had not faded, but had become more powerful.
The dust cleared, and the terrain had been completely transformed by the earth elemental magic stone thorns into a rugged mountain landscape, and in the field of vision, a red sphere hung in the air, and below it was a broken stalagmite, and the huge claws protruding from the sphere were slowly retracting.
"Offensive and defensive, assuming it's magic, with such a strong offensive and defensive ability, it also has an autonomous consciousness and can judge whether the things around you are a threat...... It's too advanced, isn't it?"
Alphonse's words were palpable in his admiration, as he had mastered enough traits of the Crimson Tentacles after his previous actions, but these traits only led him to a less interesting conclusion:
Maybe there's nothing to do but break it head-on with an attack that exceeds its defensive capabilities?
The conclusion was broken by itself the moment it was reached, and maybe there was another way? For example, using some kind of means that the tentacles that can respond to the "attack" at super high speed cannot judge as an attack?
It's worth a try.
What a blessing it is for a "warrior" to be able to fight an enemy who uses a type of magic that has never been seen before!
"Hahahaha!"
It was as if his consciousness was about to be torn apart in two, and he ignored the excruciating pain of humanity, and Alphonse almost laughed out loud at the pure and high-spirited emotion in his heart.
But this can only be misconstrued to mean that he has gone crazy.
What does it matter, what do people who don't care so much about? Reputation? When you set foot on this road, these two words are already out of your reach, aren't they?
"Oh, it seems to be getting cold?"
In the work of convincing himself in his heart, the red orb in his field of vision did not change much, and suddenly he noticed something, Alphonse raised his head, and under the light of the sun that had begun to fall, a little refreshing blue light that appeared there for some reason seemed so abrupt.
"Transparent and cool blue, aha, what a beautiful color...... But, to my disgust!"
The moment the upper and lower teeth slammed into each other, the blue in the air expanded to an astonishing size in the time that human thought could not react at all, and then, with a bang!
Ice Elemental Magic: Extreme Ice Fall.
The magic of this trick that is so rapid prototyping is the specialty of a certain ice elementalist.
The inverted giant ice spike smashed to the ground, and with a roar, the sound of ice crystals crushing and shattering made it doubtful that Alphonse, who was at the center of the attack, had been crushed into meat sauce.
"Hahaha!"
The unexpectedly cheerful laughter makes it clear that the above questions are completely unnecessary.
The magic of chaos expanded, first a circle of invisible shockwaves came, and then, a dazzling huge amount of pitch-black elements swayed around, devouring the icicles above and the surrounding surface wantonly, whether it was the product of elemental magic or the original surface, ice cubes, stone pillars, sand, everywhere the darkness went, all the existence turned into nothingness.
Except for the spheres made of the scarlet tentacles, the objects that were also impacted were still intact, but flipped backwards for a distance of several meters under the impetus of the pitch-black elemental.
"Christopher!It's Christopher!" Inside the ball, she overturned due to the impact, and the two bodies of Troy were in a mess, and Vena, who ignored the pain in her limbs, was overflowing with joy, but she was shouting the name of her missing companion, "Troy, did you find it, it was Christopher's magic just now!"
The magic that has been lost for a long time has reappeared with the familiar ice magic! Fallen to the ground by Alphonse's sneak attack, a terrifying hole was opened in his body, and almost all the blood of ordinary people was leaked out of the ice mage Christopher, it seems that he has magically "come back from the dead"!
