Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 140: The Queen of Strong Wind Areas
The first day of the Leirian Magic Games ended and we entered the second day as early as possible. The first day starts in the afternoon and usually ends soon, as there is an opening ceremony in the morning and so on.
So the battlefield of the Leirian Magic Games was said to be the second day. The first day starts in the afternoon, so in the worst case, you don't have to rest to go, but when it comes after the second day, it doesn't. I'm going to need a bed where I can rest in peace.
Athletes who have already rendezvous with their peers can take turns sleeping, but few can rendezvous as of the second day, etc.
Besides, with nineteen players already retiring this year, the chances of seeing one's mates are lower. Not to mention we should give up rendezvous in the volcanic area.
Even on such an important second day, there had been quite intense fighting since the early morning.
Between the meadow area to the west on the map and the desert area to the south, fighting was also taking place in the high-wind area to the southwest on the map.
Surrounded by one enemy by three are the boys at the Saladitius School of Magic in northwestern Frestan.
The Saladitius School of Magic is the northernmost school of magic in the Kingdom of Leiria and is the only rare school that incorporates internships in the Dark Territory in the Kingdom of Leiria. For this reason they were rated higher in combat skills than other schools.
Who are they surrounding like that? Some laid-back girl with beautiful green hair. The uniform she wears belongs to the Arsenian School of Magic, with a large magic wand in her right hand with lots of gems shining.
She is the student chairman, Morna-Tempester, for the Arsenian School of Magic.
Morna was fighting while successfully preventing the attacks of the students of the Saladitius School of Magic with a large cane in her right hand.
"Fuck you!"
"Ooh!"
"How about this!
Three students at the Saladitius School of Magic try to use the sword in each hand to slay Morna, but Morna avoids the attack as Swiss.
Avoiding the sword with a piece of paper. Morna had already identified the sword muscles of the students at the Saladitius School of Magic, and could afford that look.
"Damn it! Bring fire protection here." Kneeling ""
"Protect the fire here." Kneeling ""
"Fool, don't!
Two boys omitted chanting and tried to exercise their magic on Morna. But then, a strong wind blows and the boys lose their balance. And the unbalanced boys' swords hit each other, and the magic exploded.
"Wow."
"Shit, again"
"Don't use magic without ease. We're gonna destroy ourselves."
Here, the strong wind area is an area characterized by strong winds that do not know when to blow, and its strong winds can lightly upset the human balance. For this reason, the students of the Saladitius School of Magic were not able to use magic easily from earlier days.
But even though she didn't know when a strong wind would blow, Morna was free to move.
It's as if you know what wind blows at which time. No, Moona knew.
For Morna, who uses the wind from time to time and uses it, the wind is like a best friend. I know when and how it blows, and how strong it blows, so that Morna can take it.
That's why Moona was creating a strong wind when the boys used their magic by putting the wind up in that wind with their own magic.
This means that this high-wind area is already in Morna's hands.
The Saladitius School of Magic boys, who don't know that, desperately attack against Morna, but are avoided on a single piece of paper.
I'll hit it in a little while. I think so, launching the next attack, but the next attack is also avoided. Next time, I attack again thinking, but I can avoid it on a piece of paper again.
The repetition of that makes the boys build up stress and lose their cool.
"It's about time."
Moona whines small, taking out the three knives and dumping them on the ground.
Three knives that fell vertically without defying the free fall, but just before they fell to the ground, they suddenly changed course and moved and disappeared as if on the wind.
The three of us haven't noticed that Moona flew three knives somewhere. The wind blowing made my vision worse and I didn't realize it.
"Damn, a little more"
"Hit it!"
"Don't go dark!
Two people frustrated by a situation that doesn't strike an attack. One boy frustrated that those two don't listen to themselves. At this point, Moona's victory had been decided.
"It's over."
"" "Ugh..." "
At the next moment, a knife stabs one at a time among the three boys, pruning their consciousness. He attacked the boys through a knife on a prefabricated wind path.
The boys, whose knives were stabbed at the nod, then vanished into dust of light. Moona said she defeated the three men at once in a flash of attack, but she can't face it.
It also seems more steep than it was earlier.
I said when I saw that there was such a direction for Morna.
"I know you're there. Why don't you come out?
"Shoo Shoo"
Shortly after Morna said that, magicians in black robes emerge from a space where there was nothing. The number is two.
The two magicians, who emerged from a space of nothing, cannot see their faces because they are wearing black hoods. Besides, I'm wearing a robe and I can't see my uniform, but the emblem on the robe tells me that it's Camaelina Magic School in central Frestan.
"You're dressed creepy enough"
That's what Moona said, but the students at the Camaelina School of Magic, wrapped around the robe, don't respond to anything.
"I see you're not willing to talk. Okay, let's get started."
"Shoo Shoo"
"Hushou"
The only sound you can hear from the magicians wrapped around the robe is a unique breathing sound. I can't hear anything else.
Towards those magicians, Moona set up a big cane, it was at that moment. Two magicians disappeared from Morna's sight.
"Where!? Is that it?"
It was Moona who lost sight of the two magicians, but she felt the irregular movement of the wind and immediately perceived them by their senses. And at the same time, we create a strong wind where the two of us would step into the next place, upsetting the balance.
The magicians, wrapped around the robe, lose their balance the next moment due to strong winds and fail to attack Morna. It should have been.
"Yikes!"
But the magicians never lose their balance, and the two palm bottoms roll out onto Morna's right shoulder and left foot, beating them up.
"Ahhh."
Such a scream, Moona blown away as she spun. I think that's crazy in Moona's mind.
The strong winds caused Morna to completely unbalance the magicians. But the magicians showed no tricks at all that affected them, and attacked Morna. Plus the first move, that's not something humans can easily do.
It was similar to the acceleration caused by Seyya's use of 'single light', but the magicians in front of Morna did not use magic.
That movement is not magic, but physical ability, it also goes from the first step into the highest speed without preliminary motion, making you feel as if you've traveled momentarily, a masterclass move.
Moona had seen that move only once, in a dojo in the city of Redeka in southeastern Frestan. But that move, which the norm was making at that time, still showed signs of movement and was able to cope.
But the magicians' moves in front of Mornah are lightly beyond that norm.
Moona wouldn't have been able to handle it if it hadn't been for a strong wind area with constant wind, with a completely zero to highest speed, with no spare motion or unevenness.
"That's pretty tough"
While Moona laughed bitterly, she was thinking of countermeasures. The opponent is a supermaster who is above the master level. It also has a pretty solid core of the body and is not easily out of balance. They are different from previous enemies.
But Moona didn't expect to lose with wonder. Because the magicians in front of you, no matter how many supermen they say they are, are the same age or younger than themselves.
Besides, compared to the dark knights who fought in Dacrea II, the second place in the Apostolic Sequence of the Thirteen, and the Silforno-Second, because they are surely inferior in power.
Morna still doesn't know that the Dark Knight is second in the Apostolic Sequence of the Thirteen, but she thinks that the Dark Knight had as much power as that. That's why I was confident I could handle whatever moves the magicians in front of me had used.
"Tempest"
With the ringing, Morna throws ten knives in all directions and scatters them. The thrown scattered knife naturally begins to fall towards the ground by gravity, but just before it touched the ground, it suddenly changed course to defy gravity.
A knife scattered in all directions passes the wind path and moves like no ordinary thought to approach the two magicians.
"Shoo"
"Hushou"
Against the knife that flies towards us, the magicians in their robes bounce off with a dagger that was in their hands at some point.
"Not yet."
The knife bounced off by the dagger spinning in circles, falling to the ground, should have been. But at the next moment, the knife, which was supposed to fall, enters the wind path again and changes course.
This is a new move Moona got at last minute reinforcement sleepover. Until now, a knife that had been derailed needed to be retrieved once and then returned to the wind path again, but doing so wouldn't keep up with the speed of the rigger.
So this is the move that Moona knitted into the wind path again without retrieving it.
The process of collecting it once has disappeared, while also increasing the speed of the knife, Morna is extraordinarily more magically efficient than ever before. That had also increased the amount of knives that could be handled at once.
Morna throws one knife after another at all costs. That number is lightly over a hundred, but Morna manipulates the knife with a cool face.
"How about this"
Moona, who is still increasing the amount of knives even beyond a hundred, eventually began to manipulate two hundred knives at the same time. This is a craftsmanship that can be done because it's a strong wind area, and it's exactly what Moona had become the queen of winds.
It's a strong wind that I don't know when to blow, but I can read that wind to Morna. And with that wind, Morna can exercise the 'wind path' with less magic than usual.
What a terrible sight the sight of two hundred knives storming around the air was.
Two hundred knives dance through the universe, which means you have to deal with one hundred knives per person in simple calculations. It's tough to deal with a hundred knives flying from all directions, no matter how masterful they are.
The flying subject is small, on top of subtle speed differences, flying continuously where humans cannot cope at the same time, no matter what they think. The queen who ruled the wind was unwilling to stop the knife's continuous attacks until that moment when she would soon be attacked without being able to react.
Play the knife the magicians have been aiming at your right ear with a dagger, but the played knife goes into the wind path again to aim for itself, without falling to the ground.
But the next moment you play the knife, you don't have time to see what happens to the knife you played, because the knife hits you for your left belly, your back of your head, and a little bit late for your right foot.
The magicians responded to the amount of that knife sometime using activation, a special effect of two daggers and fire attributes. Fighting with the activation of the flesh by two daggers and fire attributes somewhere resembles the fighting style of Seyya.
"Shoo"
"Hushou"
The two magicians are not at all tired and show how they are when they say they are already in a knife storm more than enough. What mental power did Morna have in responding to the motion without changing dimensions from the beginning?
Whether you play it or not, the never-ending knife storm, a normal human would unconsciously dislike it, but the magicians in front of Morna show no such signs at all. It's too weird because I'm supermasterful.
Such suspicion immediately struck Morna in dismay.
"Oh no..."
The sight that happened in front of Morna was not believable in the end.
Moona deflected the attention of her right half by concentrating her knife on the left half of the magicians. And the magicians' attention turned completely to the left, not missing that moment, and attacked with a single knife.
One knife aimed at the right belly to keep it out of sight from an angle you'll never be able to react to.
I'm also surprised that you reacted to that knife, but more than that, the right arm of a magician in a robe. A right twist bent in a direction unlikely to be human played the knife.
"You guys... no way..."
With Morna's amazement, the wind blows through from below, revealing the faces of the magicians who were hooded.
Moona didn't know if that was a good thing to call human.
