Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 144: Redhead in the Rock Mountain Area
The second day also ushered in lunch, and when half had passed, one battle was taking place in the Rock Mountain area, located east on the map.
A boy dressed in a white uniform at St. Lucifer's School of Magic in the Central Kingdom, with a scepter about his height in his hand.
The boy was kicking rocks and moving around, jarring like a metal ring on the tip of a cane. No, he was running away.
"How about this!
"'Unsealed'"
From behind, the boy stretches a small barrier against a red magic bullet shot at him. A small unfolding yellow junction behind the boy plays a red magic bullet and fogs it.
The boy has been doing the same work for a long time now.
Exercise the defensive magic 'Unsealed' that unfolds the yellow junction against the magician's attacks that follow him from behind, defending himself. And I was even trying to kick a rock and run away.
But the magician who follows him is quite persistent, and he can't shake it off easily.
"Again prevented"
Chasing a fleeing boy is Serena, a red-haired twin-tailed girl dressed in an Arsenian School of Magic uniform. Serena was a demonic gun in both hands, trying to put a stop to the boy, but all of that was prevented.
The yellow junction unfolds at the pinpoint, as if you knew the rays of your own shooting magic bullet. He said the size was only about as wide as he spread his hand, but it was strong and not easy to tear.
Serena was desperately targeting the fleeing boy with an attack from the blind spot, but the boy had prevented all of it from going insane.
"I don't know about this."
Serena pulls the demonic gun trigger again and shoots the magic bullet at the boy.
"'Unsealed'"
But Serena's shot magic bullet is once again prevented by the junction unfolded at the pinpoint.
"Why!?
I wonder why my bullets are so easily prevented, Serena. But no matter how much I thought about it, Serena didn't understand.
But I don't have to know. Because the boy Serena is dealing with is a clan that also deals with famous junctions in the Kingdom of Leiria, whose spatial recognition skills are extremely high. Especially in the case of a boy, his ability to recognize space behind his back was weak and strong.
So no matter how many bullets are fired behind the boy, it is possible for the boy to prevent magic bullets as if he had eyes on his back.
At the same time, there are secrets in the sceptre the boy is holding. The tip of the boy's gripping tin cane was equipped with four ring-shaped demonic crystal stones, and the boy used all four of those demonic crystal stones to preserve the 'sealed off' of the light attribute advanced magic.
The Light Attribute Advanced Magic "Sealed Off" is a superior compatibility of the Light Attribute Intermediate Magic "Light Wall (Shining Wall), and its defense is extremely high. Moreover, the boy had increased his thickness and increased his defense by expanding the" seal off "to a smaller extent.
Not only that, moreover, the stick part of the boy's grip on the cane was optimized solely for exercising 'unsealed', and the boy had top notch equipment in this country in exercising 'unsealed'.
Can you beat out such a boy's 'unsealed' with just magic bullets? Of course you can't do that. For Serena to break the 'seal off', she will need magic with the appropriate attack power.
However, such a great trick is not easy to use.
Great moves are used in situations such as here, and it is not a good thing to get upset. Plus, you can use the big moves to knock them down, but if they're avoided or prevented, there's something spiritually coming and it's prone to gaps.
That's why Serena couldn't use the big moves so easily.
But there is a way to attack the juncture even if the great moves are unavailable. It's about chasing the boy all the time, cutting the boy's strength and distracting him.
If you are asked which is more tiring if you are going to chase or if you are going to be chased, it is more spiritually tiring to be chased. That's even worse if it prevents attacks from behind.
Magic bullets flying at me for the shadows coming after me from behind. Tensions about them are to be brought to sharpen concentration.
This was also the aim of Serena's regular shooting of magic bullets as she pursued the boy.
If it had been Serena until last year, she would have exercised her grand moves at an early stage, without taking such a method.
Because I was obsessed with the form of victory. Rather than just Serena, boys and girls of this age will not only just win, but will also stick to the form of victory.
This comes from my desire to prove myself superior, something I have no choice in a way. But Serena didn't have that desire right now.
"I'll keep it like this"
No matter how you win, you win. You don't need to stick to shape.
The cause that made Serena think this was the battle in Dacrea II. Serena had a real battle in Dacrea II, that is, an exchange of lives between living and dying.
That was completely different from the game.
Kill or be killed, Serena wanted to live because she could do any way from the bottom of her heart to the fear she couldn't feel in the game. That's even the muddy way to win.
Since then, Serena's thinking about victory has changed, and whatever the process is, she has come to wish she was alive in the end with victory. So Serena is in no hurry at all. Twitching, hunting down about the boy.
"That's just tough..."
On the other hand, the boy, who is better off running, was pretty bitter inside.
Serena, who opens a certain distance and comes after herself, and the magic bullets that are shot regularly, everything flies towards herself without the madness of dimensions.
Although we can still deal with it now, it seems that the same attack will continue any longer, even if we win, it will suffer later. The boy bit his lower lip into the fatigue he also accumulated while fleeing Serena.
"If this happens..."
The boy stops kicking rocks and lands on the ground as he turns towards Serena. Serena, who saw such a boy, also descends to the ground.
"Are you finally willing to fight?
"Well, that's the place"
Serena captures the boy in topaz-colored eyes as she sets up her demonic gun. The boy felt the look was different from her until last year.
Preliminary investigation of the contestants is prohibited at the Leiria Magic Games, but it is allowed to anticipate them in advance.
The boy's St. Lucifer School of Magic also naturally anticipated the contestants in advance. And there was also Serena's material in it.
But now, the girl in front of me is quite different from the girl I saw in the dossier. The surrounding atmosphere, the confidence I feel from the look on my face, the way I think about the battle, everything about it had changed completely from last year. No, it might be more right that it's growing.
The girl in front of me is still not attacking. The information on the girl in the dossier was labeled as likely to launch a pre-emptive attack.
(Whatever the hell happens, it changes so much...)
The boy thinks about what to do in his heart.
I don't have the means to defeat the girl in front of me. Whatever it is, it is too incompatible. Besides, I have things to do. Then I saw every means I had to take.
"I have a suggestion for you"
"I wonder what?
"Why don't we pull each other out here? I have no means of attacking you. And you cannot break my bond. [M] I don't think we should waste each other's health or magic."
"I see."
That's a natural idea for an athlete. In the Leirian Magic Games, nothing can be more defeating than wasted consumption. If each other's interests match, the choice not to fight is elusive.
But Serena can't possibly take such a suggestion.
"I'm sorry, but I refuse. I will defeat you."
When Serena declared herself high, she set two demonic guns in both hands against the boy.
"It took."
At that moment, the boy's mouth laughs niggly. This is the development the boy wanted, Serena's state of absolute stillness of the demonic gun.
"'Unsealed'"
The boy exercises his magic by pointing a scepter at Serena.
The two yellow junctions unfolded. But the place where the junction unfolded is not on Serena's demonic gun firing line, but at the mouth of the demonic gun. Serena's demon-mounted gun muzzle was covered by the boy's "sealed off" and secured to space.
"This!?
Serena is in a hurry for a sudden event.
Suddenly my arm stopped moving, no, this wasn't my hand stopped moving, it was the demonic gun held in my hand that stopped moving.
Serena thinks desperately while holding a demonic gun.
What the hell happened?
The answer was obvious. Yellow decorations that had not existed until earlier in my demonic gun. It took less than three seconds to understand that was the boy's 'unsealed' exercise.
But in those three seconds, the boy disappeared from before Serena. The boy fled at full speed from before Serena, almost at the same time as exercising 'unsealed'.
This is the few escape chances the boy was after.
"They did it."
Serena seemed happy somewhere, even though she said so.
A magical use that I can't think of on its own. Who would come up with such things as using defensive junctions in this way?
The magic used by the boy is only defensive magic that anchors magic to a part of space to prevent attacks. But when fixing his magic to space, the boy even stopped Serena by involving her demonic gun.
In other words, Serena's demonic gun today is in a way fixed in space.
And Serena's magic bullet can't break the boy's 'seal off'. That means Serena can't use a demon gun and can't move unless the boy solves the 'seal off'.
And by the time the 'unsealed' is lifted, the boy will already be hiding.
Perfect operation. This is a means of survival that can also be used in action.
"I'm still sweet, too."
Serena reflects. That somewhere in my mind I thought I was different from the other magicians here because I went through the dark realm. Other magicians have grown in their own way, just as they have grown in the Dark Territories.
Let's not afford it anymore.
I'm still immature.
I still don't have enough strength to afford myself.
Then I'll do my best.
Selena began chanting when she was determined to do her best.
"Fire of will, light of heart, will of witches..."
At the same time as the chant begins, magic begins to flow through Serena's gripping two demonic guns.
"Proof of Dragon Fire, Witch of Fire Dragon..."
The amount of magic poured into demonic guns keeps increasing.
And Serena pulled the trigger and muttered her magical name quietly.
"" The Guardian Dragon of the Witch of the Flaming Dragon Kagutschi ""
When Serena mutters her magical name, the red Demonic Crystal Stone on the tip of the demonic gun begins to emit a dazzling light. It is easy to break the 'seal off' where its overwhelming magic power holds the demonic gun in place.
Balin, and a yellow junction that made a loud noise and broke. Serena didn't look like she cared about such a junction, and shot her magic in the direction the boy fled. Then the magic that was shot at reveals its true appearance.
A flame that flickers, but somewhere its appearance resembles a dragon, something like a flaming dragon, if you mean it in words. There were two such flaming dragons.
To that overwhelming sight, the spectators who were trying to get through the screen also breathe.
Serena, standing as if she could follow two flaming dragons, would look exactly right in the expression Empress.
Such an empress gives instructions to two flaming dragons.
"Go."
The flaming dragons, who received that word, went through the rocks at a fierce speed, screaming.
There is nothing left after the passage of the Fire Dragon. I couldn't stand the heat and everything melted or ashed.
"Guardian Dragon of the Witch of the Fire Dragon Kagutschi" alongside "Atutos" is a highly offensive magic at the highest level of Serena. Unlike "Atutos," however, I can't use it much for the sake of being difficult to control.
There is also a high risk of getting involved if you have company around, a move you could have used because you are one now.
The air around Serena is shaking over too high a heat. So much heat set him on fire that he burned down the direction in which the boy had escaped. There's no way the boy's safe.
The boy suddenly felt the high energy looming from behind and immediately tried to exercise the 'seal off', but it did not come true. The moment the boy put up the scepter, the boy was forced to retire in flames.
And then the two magicians who were hiding nearby were also letting Serena's magic retire.
"Well, I have to hide"
Serena immediately looks for a place to hide after making sure the Flaming Dragon burns everything down. It was so flashy and magical. There is naturally a risk that someone will find it.
So you have to hide before someone finds you.
Exactly because the streak after exercising the "Guardian Dragon of the Witch of the Fire Dragon Kagutschi" was hard, Serena left the battlefield hiding herself in the rocks.
