Volume 2 The Triple Trial and the Awakened Magic Eye Chapter 147 The Gathering Magic
"Winner, Ivan Lavin!" the referee's voice interrupted their conversation.
"Wait...... The life you saved now will still be handed back to me tomorrow...... And, of course, yours!" Ivan left without looking back.
Suddenly, they received a threat of death and kept the two of them in place......
After a long time, it wasn't until the sky began to rain that they finally came to their senses and carried Alyssa back to the waiting area.
Alan quickly told the other three about everything that had just happened. Of course, to avoid being frightened by Cecilis, he omitted the last paragraph.
"This guy ......" Ryle looked nervously at Eren as if he was indeed taken aback by Ivan's words, "you say...... If he really wanted to kill us, it would have been a good opportunity, so why wait until tomorrow, right?"
"Huh...... What a strange guy. Cynthia said, "Does he just want to go head-to-head with you?"
"No, it's not just because of the ......," said Allen, "I have a feeling that he probably doesn't have much of a chance of winning, and wants to take advantage of tonight to get some rest." β
"What do you mean?" asked Riel.
"You just heard that, right? His strange magic requires a huge amount of energy...... "Alan said, "and the reason why Alyssa is still in a coma is that she has consumed so much energy that she has fallen into a state of extreme sleepiness that she cannot control...... And if he won the duel between the spiritual power just now, then the energy he consumed should only be a lot more...... So I suspect that although it doesn't look obvious on the surface, it may actually be a big loss. β
"Wow, isn't this our chance!" Riel said as soon as he heard this, "Don't worry about the rules! This guy is so scary, let's go over and get him in trouble now!"
After that, he glanced at the referee's bench a few more times: "Anyway, these so-called referees are his puppets, and there is nothing fair about this game...... It's better to finish him off when he's at his weakest!"
But Alan shook his head: "No, his strength may be more than that...... If he has been preparing for the fight against the entire Hep Continent for more than ten years, then he must still have some unknown power...... Rushing over without even getting to the bottom of him is not much of a chance to win, but may hurt more people......"
Frey agreed: "Moreover, it doesn't work to just go with a lot of people, our magic doesn't work for him, in fact, Alan is fighting him alone...... Maybe we'll be a liability. β
"Then ......" Riel was upset when he heard this, and suddenly wanted to retreat: "Then or ...... Let's run away now...... Don't play any games, it's still important to save your life......"
Cecilis didn't seem to want to stay here for a long time, and when she heard this, she quickly nodded: "I also feel that he is so scary...... They're all dead......"
Several people were silent.
"Don't be naΓ―ve...... Where can we escape?" Cynthia said after a moment, "School? I don't think it's a safe place. β
"Of course not!" Alan shook his head, "If we escape back to the castle, it may be an even greater sacrifice...... We have agreed to fight him, and if we run away now, we will probably anger him, and maybe the same thing will happen to him as we did fifteen years ago!"
When it comes to this matter, everyone's hearts are tight. It was only now that they finally understood what strange things had happened that night fifteen years ago......
The student, Arne Brestous, accidentally discovered the secret hidden in his body, and used the spiritual power provided by this "darkness" in his heart as a support, and used the "soul invasion" throughout the school to create that horrific case and escaped. Then, on the way to escape, he took control of Roy Storey and Dalke one after another, kidnapped the werewolf Kayla, and went to Lettery Snow Mountain to break the seal on Frost......
However, the curiosity of the few people who knew this did not diminish in the slightest, and now they are becoming more and more curious...... What was it that allowed Burestu to do such a thing, and what kind of coincidence made him discover this strange magic that ordinary people can't even imagine.
Although the general context of the whole thing is clear, many details need to be further examined.
"I'm going to fight!" Thinking of this, Allen, who was originally squatting, suddenly stood up, "Running away won't solve anything...... I'm going to have to face this battle sooner or later!"
"That's right. Cynthia smiled and said, then glanced at Alyssa lying on the ground and said, "She failed to live up to my expectations, so you can apologize to me on her behalf...... Do what you have to do. β
"But......" Rare was still a little inclined to run away, "if we go back to the castle and tell Professor Stubourne the whole thing......"
"He can't help. From what I know about him, self-preservation will always be his first creed. Frey said, "And as things stand, it's probably no longer safe even for the Magic Guild." β
"That's right, it's better to rely on those people than on ourselves!" Cynthia said, "It's the best thing to get out of Perestu here and wipe it out completely!"
Cynthia's words strengthened Alan's conviction and dispelled Ryel's desire to escape.
"Get your wand out!" Cynthia said, coming to Alan's side.
Alan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what Cynthia wanted to do, so he did so.
"You're the only one going to fight him, but it's not just a battle for you......" Cynthia touched the Rod of Stealer with the tip of her wand, "but a battle together!"
Cecilia was greatly encouraged by Cynthia's words, and she also took out her wand and placed it on the wand of stealing: "Please take my magic too!"
Seeing this, Riel also quickly grabbed the wand of the Demon Stealer: "That...... Count me in!"
At the same time, several streams of magic flowed into the Wand, causing it to instantly turn red and even begin to glow.
Alan closed his eyes and could clearly see the mana of the crowd pouring towards him, and then each of them gathered together and placed somewhere inside the wand.
"Thank you, thank you......" Alan was a little excited, and his hand holding his wand trembled a little. But his heart was filled with an unprecedented sense of security.
"Gotta win!" Cynthia said.
"I'll do my best...... This is...... Strength from all of you!" Alan said, "along with your faith and sustenance...... I'll take it!"
