Chapter 57: Final (2)
Giant Rock ...... This powerful fifth-level magic was originally his pride, even in the talented Reochs Academy, what student could master this level of magic in the second year?
Although he relied on the help of the two high-quality yellowstones on the magic wand, he still mastered this magic anyway.
I wanted to keep it until I reached the finals, but ...... To this day, the humiliating scene still lingers in Vincent's mind...... Isn't it the lowest level of fire bomb magic?
I had never heard of such a ridiculous thing to deal with the giant rock statue with fire bullets, but this kind of absurd and ridiculous thing happened, and what was even more ridiculous was that the giant rock statue that I was proud of was powerless in the face of the countless fire bullets...... Damn it!
More than 200 fireballs in about two or three minutes, damn it! Is that really something a human can do? Is that a monster?
It's just a commoner, a commoner who doesn't even have a surname, and he actually defeated himself with excellent aristocratic blood...... Unforgivable!
South...... I will pay back this shame to you tenfold or twenty times one day!
And before that...... Glancing up at the strangely dressed guy in front of him, and looking at the relaxed and playful expression on his face, Vincent felt a wave of anger welling up in his heart.
This guy is even more hateful than that civilian...... It's just the son of a country nouveau riche, the son of a country nouveau riche who bought the title of earl with money, and this kind of guy can also be called a nobleman?
No, such a person is worthy only of the disgrace of the nobility!
As an apprentice magician, he actually wore a knight's armor to participate in the competition, and what was even more ridiculous was that this guy also brought a knight's sword...... Think this is a gladiatorial arena?
Losing to a civilian is already humiliating, how can you lose to a clown-like bastard again!
Thinking of this, Vincent held back the anger in his heart, raised his magic wand slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Alan Scander, do you think that you are qualified to order me by killing two low-level Tempestal Wolves?" I admit that I did make a mistake in the last battle with that civilian...... In both matches, I made two mistakes, the first time I miscalculated the civilian's strength and thought that I would be able to finish him out with the Wind Tooth Wolf, and the second time, I forcibly summoned the Rock Statue when I lacked mana...... Otherwise, that civilian who doesn't even have a wand won't be my opponent at all!"
"Huh?" Laughing playfully, Alan scratched his head with his hand and said with a playful expression, "It seems that you haven't learned to be good yet, let me tell you, your biggest mistake is that you are too stupid...... Fool! If you don't summon a contract beast yet, are you waiting for afternoon tea?"
"You ......" was continuously ridiculed by the other party, Vincent could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, glared at Alan hatefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! You will regret provoking me!"
"Hurry up, fool! Don't waste time, I'll have to treat the beautiful lady to refreshments later!"
"Damn!" Glancing at his opponent, Vincent gritted his teeth and cursed, then held the magic wand in his right hand and dotted it in front of him, only to see a spell whispering in his mouth, and a circle of white mist popped out in front of him.
"Hey, it can't be another wind tooth wolf, right?" before he spoke, Allen's words stopped abruptly, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of solemnity.
I saw that what came out of the white mist turned out to be a demonic beast that Eren had never seen before.
The appearance of this monster is somewhat similar to that of a wolf, but its whole body is snow-white, although it is not as fierce as the windfang, but this guy's rolling blood-red eyes seem to proclaim the fact that it is much more terrifying than those windfangs!
To Allen's surprise, the wolf-shaped contract beast's physique was also stronger than that of ordinary contract beasts, even an adult cow did not necessarily have its head, from head to tail, it was roughly estimated to be three yards long, especially the pair of sharp teeth exposed from the mouth, like sharp daggers, in addition, its four sharp claws were more than twice as large as the wind fangs, as if they were made of fine iron, and the hard rocky ground was like soft mud in front of it.
What's even more incredible is that from time to time, circles of cyan ring-like magic ripples ripple from the body of this demonic beast.
"Oh my God, this ...... It's ......"
"It's incredible......"
The students were amazed.
"Wolves ...... Marts," Lavia muttered with a bit of surprise and inexplicability.
"What?" Jiang Zhe didn't seem to pay attention, Jiang Zhe was stunned, turned his head and asked, "Do you recognize that wolf?"
Lavia smiled faintly, and said with a little inexplicable regret, "How could you not know each other...... This wolf is called the Martz snow wolf and inhabits the snowy mountains of our Altak...... We in Altak are home to two of the most fearsome creatures, one of which is the Lords Snow Wolves, whose thick fur can withstand the cold and capable of attacking like wind magic...... In Altak, every adult man has to go up the mountain alone to hunt a Manz snow wolf, but many of them don't come back......"
"Cheng Renli, fourteen years old?" Jiang Zhe looked at Lavia with a look of astonishment.
"Yes," as if remembering something, Lavia bit her lip and whispered, "In Altak, this is what every adult man must do, and Artac doesn't need cowardly men!"
“......”
Glancing at Jiang Zhe inexplicably, Lavia smiled a little unexpectedly, and said in a low voice, "South, the Lordz Snow Wolf is a pack of beasts, and to challenge a group of Mannz Snow Wolves alone, even the most stupid guy will not do this, the best way is to wait for the opportunity, find the lone Mannz Snow Wolf, and then kill it and bring its head back......"
"Oh," nodding in relief, Jiang Zhe suddenly felt a little puzzled, and asked in surprise, "Hmm, why are you telling me this?"
I saw Lavia smile slightly, and said mysteriously, "It's nothing, I just see that you don't understand, so I'll explain it to you, anyway, as a magician, it's not a bad thing to know more, right?"
"That's right," nodding, Jiang Zhe turned his head to look at the Motorz Snow Wolf on the field, pointed at it and asked, "Then why is it called the Motorz Snow Wolf? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be called the Altak Snow Wolf? Could it be that the Mannz means the Snow Mountain on your side?"
Lavia shook her head and explained, "That's not it, speaking of which, the name comes from the barbarians, you know, we in Altaq border the territory inhabited by the barbarians and the dwarves, the Manz snow wolf is the best companion for those barbarians, the Manz in the ancient language, it means mount and loyalty, the barbarians regard the tame Manz snow wolf as the most loyal companion, and we continue to use this title......"
"Oh!" Jiang Zhe suddenly realized, and then as if he thought of something, he asked, "You said that the Mantz Snow Wolf is one of the two most powerful beasts in your Artak, but what about the other one?"
"The other?" Lavia was stunned, with a faint look of fear on her face, and whispered, "The other is a solitary beast, more terrifying than the Lordz Snow Wolf......
Before he finished speaking, the students in the audience erupted in exclamation, and it turned out that Vincent had summoned another contract beast.
Jiang Zhe only felt that the ground shook for a while, and then a statue that looked like a human head rose in the arena.
"Hey, what is this?" Allen was also as curious as Jiang Zhe, and was looking at the statue, when suddenly, two rays of light shot out of the eyes of the rock statue, which could graze Allen's shoulder armor.
"Elmo statue on Cario Island?" one of the senior students looked at the statue in disbelief and muttered, "This magic is not something that ordinary people can learn, where did that kid learn it?"
Indeed, ordinary people don't know the spells needed to summon the statue of Elmo, they don't know that there is such a wonderful existence in the world.
These materials have always been kept in the Imperial Royal Library, and ordinary people have no access to them.
Like the monolithic statues that he couldn't touch in his second year, Vincent's ability to learn this type of magic meant that he must have at least one relative or clan member of his family who was a royal magician.
"This wolf looks a little more powerful than the others, it's funny......," Alan said with a grin as he looked at the Artsy Snow Wolf who was growling in a low voice.
"It's not over yet!" Vincent snorted coldly, and said with a bit of anger, "Don't you want to try the giant rock statue?" as he spoke, the whole field shook violently like an earthquake with the incantation in his mouth, and during this time, a thirty-yard tall giant rock statue stood up in the shocked eyes of everyone, and its huge body blocked the sunlight for a while, covering most of the arena in shadow.
"Wow!" Amid the crowd's chatter, Alan looked up at the statue and muttered, "This guy is so tall......"
Although it was not the first time he had seen this kind of giant rock statue, at least once when Jiang Zhe was playing against Vincent, he really felt the powerful oppressive force brought by this guy when he watched it in the audience.
Even Allen, who has always been bold, still breathes a little quickly when facing such a huge monster.
Glancing at Alan with a bit of smugness, Vincent said in a deep voice, "It's really a big burden to summon the Giant Rock Statue, but as long as I get rid of you quickly...... You don't have a chance! Alan Scander!"
"Oh, so what are you waiting for?"
"Hmph!" Seeing that the opponent didn't seem to care, Vincent snorted coldly, pointed at Allen with his right hand holding the magic wand, and said in a deep voice, "Luckily, this is a game, I won't hurt you too much, but, at least I have to teach you a lesson!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the snow-white Men snow wolf kick its limbs violently, like a white wind in a burst of gravel and dust, and in a blink of an eye, it rushed to Allen's side.
"Boom!"
Hearing only the sound of metal, Alan took a step back, looked at the Mannz snow wolf in disbelief, especially its claws comparable to steel, and then looked at the white scratches on his iron gloves, and muttered, "Won't it?"
"Eren is underestimated!" Frowning at everything on the field, Lavia whispered, "The claws of the Bolts Snow Wolf can cut through the iron sword...... If it were so easy to deal with, we wouldn't have so many deaths every year in Altak......"
"Isn't there a good way to deal with it?" Jiang Zhe asked puzzled.
I saw Lavia glance at Jiang Zhe, and said with a somewhat inexplicable smile, "Yes, the Lords snow wolf can withstand the cold, but it can't resist the attack of flames, even if it is an ordinary red flame, it can cause serious burns to them, and even endanger their lives......"
"Fire?" Looking at Lavia stunned, Jiang Zhe shook his head and smiled bitterly, "That's over, Eren can't fire blue magic......
Glancing at Jiang Zhe, Lavia took a light breath and said lightly, "So he will have a hard fight......
As Lavia said, the Lords Snow Wolf is far superior to ordinary wolf beasts in terms of strength and speed, and its sharp claws are even more deadly, forcing Alan to lift the knight's sword to fight, but even so, it still can't hurt the Lords Snow Wolf, only to see that the thick white fur is like a layer of solid armor, and Allen's sword with all his strength can only repel the opponent, but it can't cause him any damage.
"Hey, what is this wolf?" just muttered, Alan suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly rolled on its side, and at the same time, a white beam of light narrowly and dangerously grazed his leg armor, only to rub it, and the leg armor made of fine iron actually emitted a few wisps of white smoke.
"Damn, what the hell is this?" Allen, who had narrowly escaped, didn't have time to secretly rejoice, when he suddenly heard a worried shout from Lisa in the audience.
"Alan, be careful!"
As if hearing Lisa's warning, Alan turned his head sharply, only to see a giant rock fist larger than his own body, slamming down on his back.
"Bang!"
"Ai ......" covered her mouth with her hands, and Lisa was obviously too frightened to speak, because she clearly saw that Allen, who had no time to dodge, actually took the heavy blow.
Not to mention him, even Jiang Zhe and Lavia and the others couldn't help but show a little worry in their eyes, except for Scott, he still seemed to be thinking about something at this moment, and he looked a little confused.
"Click...... Click......" Accompanied by the falling rubble, the boulder statue slowly withdrew its fist, and when it withdrew its fist from Alan's back, I saw Eren shake it slightly, and he didn't do anything more, just stood with his head down like that, which inevitably made people wonder if he was unconscious because of the heavy blow of the boulder statue.
"Hmph!" with a sneer, Vincent said mockingly with an expressionless face, "I thought you had any ability, but I didn't expect ......" As he spoke, he turned his head and said to the referee professor, "Professor, can you make a verdict?"
"Verdict?" I saw the professor look at Vincent with a smile and said, "Boy, this time you are the enemy!"
"What?" Before Vincent could understand, a cold wind whistled past his face like a wind blade, and then, he felt a hot pain on his face, and he subconsciously touched his cheeks, but felt a few traces of sticky wetness...... "Ahhh
An unusually familiar joke caught Vincent's attention, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see Alan holding the knight's sword on his shoulder with his right hand, touching the blood stains on the corner of his mouth with his left hand, and said with a smile, "Oh no, it looks like those two guys are going to die of laughter this time......
"Hey, that kid named Alan is okay? that's incredible, isn't it?"
"That's right, I completely withstood the heavy blow of the giant rock statue......"
"And what was that kid just cast? Wind Blade?"
"Stupid! Is that a wind blade? That's a knight and warrior skill, slash! Haha, is that guy actually a knight?"
"...... Allen" seems to be the voice of the students present who caught Lisa's attention, and she burst into tears and laughed when she saw that Alan was okay with her.
"Hmph!" patted Lisa on the back, and Lavia said sarcastically, "Don't be too happy, that guy is really hurt, but ...... Who told him to be so handsome, he deserves it!"
He ...... Alan is injured?"
Before Lavia could speak, Alan standing on the stage carried a knight's sword, looked at Vincent and grinned and said, "Surprised, I'm surprised too!" As he spoke, he pointed to the giant rock statue and said jokingly, "Don't look big, it's not really good! It's so disappointing to me......"
"You're looking for death!" was taunted by the other party again and again, coupled with the fact that his self-proclaimed handsome cheek was cut by the other party's unknown slash, Vincent could no longer contain the anger in his heart, and the magic wand in his hand pointed at Allen, and roared in a low voice, "Giant rock statue!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw the giant rock statue slowly raise its huge and heavy fist, and after a slight pause for a few seconds, it suddenly slammed towards Allen below, because of the extreme strength, even the students who were standing around the arena to watch the battle could still feel the strong wind in their faces, let alone Allen standing in the middle of the arena.
Allen, on the other hand, still stood with the knight's sword on his shoulders and grinning.
"Is this guy trying to die?" Geller, who was watching the battle from a distance, asked his companion in bewilderment.
Like Geller, almost all the students watching the game didn't understand what Allen wanted to do, and even the professor who was the referee frowned and prepared for first aid, after all, this time the boulder statue had used all its strength, and if it wasn't good, the Reox Academy might have to lose a student because of the game...... But the development of things was completely beyond their expectations, just as the fist of the giant rock statue was about to touch him, Alan slowly raised his left hand, and in the eyes of everyone in shock, puzzlement, and regret, he met the giant fist that was larger than his entire body.
"Bang!"
A fierce wind swept from all directions from under Allen's feet, and what was striking was that he, just a second-year student, had blocked the blow of the giant rock statue with just one left hand, oh my God, how could this happen?
Looking at Vincent, who looked sluggish, Allen, who was emitting a thin layer of red light all over his body, said jokingly, "As I said earlier, this giant rock statue is not very good...... But you don't seem to believe it!"
"......," Vincent recovered from his shock, and pointed his wand at Alan and roared in a low voice, "Giant Rock Statue!"
The huge rock statue of "Woo Woo ......" seemed to feel the anger from its owner, and its left hand rested on the ground of the arena, once again increasing the strength of its right fist.
But...... Compared to the huge body of the giant rock statue, Allen, who seemed to be weak, didn't even take a step back, and as the red light emitted from his whole body became thicker and thicker, he only used one left hand to force the giant rock statue to take a small step back.
"Is this boy a monster?" said Geller, wide-eyed.
Frowning and glancing at the arena, Eddie said in a deep voice, "As far as I guess, this guy should be refining the enhancement technique, but ...... Even if you strengthen your strength, you can't achieve this effect, right?"
In the case of almost everyone being shocked, I saw Allen's left hand slam with a force, and it actually pushed the boulder as if it staggered back a small step, and then before it could gain a firm foothold, a wave of qi visible to the naked eye was like a wind blade, whistling and slamming into the boulder statue's chest, leaving a deep imprint.
Immediately, the second, third, and fourth slashes, which originally belonged to the skills of knights and warriors, were now skillfully used by Allen, and under the slash damage that was comparable to, or even surpassed, ordinary wind blades, the huge rock was like a stone all over the body kept falling off, and it was not easy for the huge body to even stand firmly, and it was hit by the extremely powerful slash and retreated.
And at this moment, the Moore stone statue that seemed to be forgotten by Allen shot out a beam of light with a "whoosh", but unexpectedly, Allen avoided the beam with just one turn, and then slashed with his backhand, only to hear a bang, and the Moore stone statue was smashed to the ground.
"I haven't forgotten...... Alan said with a smile, then he felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him, and he leaped to the side and slashed at the same time.
But this slash was destined to be in vain, and I saw that the Men snow wolf who attacked Allen was knocked to the ground, and then stood up again, staring at Allen with a pair of small pale red eyes, and roaring in a low voice.
At this time, Vincent also recovered from the blow of the two destruction of the giant rock statue, and roared in shame, "You damn fellow, don't think that you will win this way, as a magician apprentice, you are simply a shame for a magician to use the knight's martial arts!"
After hearing the master's order, the Bolts Snow Wolf suddenly showed its fierce side, and a ruined giant rock statue seemed to be ready to attack Allen.
"It's really tricky," Alan scratched his head helplessly and said reluctantly, "Damn, I didn't have ......this move for you," he said, he raised the knight's sword with his right hand, and then stretched out his left hand and wiped it on the knight's sword.
I saw that one of the four thumb-sized gems set in the hilt of the sword shone with a faint red light, and at the same time, the entire knight's sword was suddenly enveloped in raging fire after a line of fiery red runes appeared.
"Magic sword?" Eddie's eyes showed a little surprise when he saw the scene on the field, and he shook his head and smiled, "It turns out that the knight's sword was actually enchanted...... But this kind of weapon has always been controlled in the Empire, I really don't know how that kid got it, to buy such an enchanted sword, the price is far more than the same kind of wand......"
"Maybe that kid has a lot of money," Geller said with a bit of a joke, "didn't you hear those people say, that kid's father spent a lot of money to buy an earl's title......" he said, he snorted coldly, and said with an inexplicable expression, "At this time, some guys in the empire will really be very unpleasant!"
At the same time, Allen held a burning knight's sword in his hand, hooked his finger at the Lords Snow Wolf, and said with a little banter and a little dissatisfaction, "The entertainment time for afternoon tea is over, you damn white-haired dog!"
"Roar!" the Bolts Snow Wolf just roared around Allen, its eyes not paying attention to the flaming knight's sword, but it couldn't help but ignore Allen, after all, a beast is a beast after all.
I saw that in the stunned and inexplicable eyes of the students watching the battle around me, as Alan slammed the knight's sword, a crescent-like flame engulfed the Lordz snow wolf in an instant like a wave, only a few screams were heard, and the Men snow wolf, who could not stand the high temperature, fluttered a few times in the flames, and finally disappeared with a bang into white smoke.
"And ......" After dealing with the Lords Snow Wolf, Alan did not forget the broken giant rock statue, with a touch of the sword body in his left hand, and after a line of cyan runes appeared, the entire knight's sword was accompanied by bursts of noise, emitting circles and circles of ripples.
"What?!" Not only did the students present look shocked, but Geller and Eddie were even more shocked and speechless.
"It's not an ordinary enchanted sword......"
Everyone knows that enchanted weapons can only have one element attached to them, and if there are two or more of them, not only will the weapon as a medium not be able to withstand the erosion of the elements, but it will cost a lot of money just to engrave runes and inlay gems, and even the high-ranking nobles of the imperial city of Sassen may not be able to bear such a huge expenditure of wealth.
"Is that kid's family rich?" Geller said with a little inexplicable dissatisfaction, "There are so many rich people in the Empire, two second-grade boys, one has a well-made magic wand, and the other kid actually has a knight's sword enchanted with wind and fire, tsk!
"It's nothing," Eddie said lightly, staring at the movement on the field, "I care more about that second-year kid named Soth than they do, and don't forget, he didn't have any props from start to finish!"
"Humph!"
And at the same time, on the field.
Alan held the knight's sword converted to the Wind surname, smiled and waved his hand at Vincent and made a goodbye gesture.
Immediately, there was only a "whew" sound, and with a single wave, the air flow on the field suddenly became violent, and during this time, a huge wind blade swirled and struck the chest of the giant rock statue, and pierced through its chest made of hard rock.
The power of this slash was far greater than just now, as if a storm swept the whole field, and the ruined boulder statue was suddenly torn apart by the roaring air current, turning into pieces of earth and falling to the ground.
There was a long silence in the audience...... "This...... How ......" Vincent, who was blown to the ground by the storm, was obviously speechless with shock, and watched Alan walk up to him step by step.
"Hey!" I saw Alan playfully glance at the magic wand in Vincent's hand, and said with a smile, "It's really uninteresting, do you have to come in person?" As he spoke, he stretched out a hand and grabbed the other party's collar and lifted him up, throwing him out of the field with a casual throw, and then turned to the referee professor and said, "Professor, you can make a judgment this time!"
"Hehe," the referee shook his head with a smile, then raised his head and shouted in a deep voice, "The third game of the first round of the finals, the winner, our second-year student, Alan Scander!"
(To be continued)
