Next Life

Two stories, "Nerve Field."

As soon as they returned to the royal palace, they were led to the practice field.

They say an opportunity has been set up to show everyone the power of Marius.

Although I was surprised, Marius also agreed in two replies to establish his position.

The man who was quickly granted the status of national guest magician imagined there were many reasons why the king hauled things awkwardly, but he came to no conclusion.

It was at best to come up with the idea of either letting the ears and eyes of other countries gather to themselves, or simply wanting to strengthen their forces of war.

It is a little further to realize that both are correct.

The squad yard is the size of a football ground in the original world, equipped with something that looks like an audience seat a few meters above the ground, with a fence divided.

You think there are multiple defensive junctions in the audience for safety?

Now in its center were the king and his wife, princes and princesses, Chancellor Falk, court magic master Lucas, Knights Commander Yardabels, Kingsguard Knights Commander Yusef and Magic Corps Commander Nilsson waiting with the soldiers.

"I want to taste the power of Lord Marius."

Two of Lucas and Nilsson, who so offered, were opponents, and Yardabells became the referee considering if they were involved in a magical battle.

Confronted by the two, Marius was remembering Rovisa's pride heard from Helka on the way back to the royal palace.

From a very young age, he said he was an intelligent man who was gentle, national, popular, and very intelligent and prevented the loss of national power by means of a new spell.

(Are spell formats different on the continent... or can spells be remembered twice?)

This place wasn't a game. It's a setup.

Marius thought you might want to keep it in mind.

And the two of us who fight now must naturally have met.

"Then we'll have more mock warfare now."

When Yardabels raises his right hand and declares, Lucas and Nilsson put up a cane, and Marius, standing ten meters away from it, also fits it with a one-tempo delay.

"Be careful not to kill me. Begin!"

As Yardabels' right hand was waved down, Lucas and Nilsson began chanting at the same time.

"Fire, burn. [Fire]"

Nilsson unleashes a fireball.

(Fast!)

Marius couldn't hide his surprise.

I somehow figured out the words in the senses, even if I didn't understand them, but Nilsson probably hasn't omitted chanting.

But the chant was one tempo faster than what Marius knew.

Put up a "Magic Shield" with no chant at all and strike out the attack.

And then came Lucas' chase without getting his hair in there.

"─ Destroy. [Clemson Blaze]"

Marius' height-like red flame walls erupt and are push-wrapped.

The "magic shield" I strained briefly had already disappeared.

I had no choice but to prevent more than I was deliberately willing to take, but I used "dispel" reflexively, not judging which magic was appropriate.

Marius' body was wrapped in black mist, and the red flame, which was still about to be touched, was undone.

A big twist occurs from the spectators.

"No chant...?

"Is it something you can prevent with no chanting!

"What prevented you in the first place?

My gaze focused on Raymond when the same question came up.

"Probably a magic shield the first time and a dispel the second time"

There will be a bigger twist than earlier.

"Dispel!

It's a second-degree defensive magic that even the magically oblivious have heard its name once.

It's still another dimension of strength to activate it without chanting.

A fearful gaze turns to Marius.

The three had interrupted the battle during this time.

Because this is only a mock battle, to know the power of Marius.

Marius had heard a prior explanation and had basically decided to focus on defense.

Most of all, I didn't expect to be suddenly forced to deal with it without chanting.

It is in various ways shown the power of the "Rovisa formula".

Needless to say, spells are the wizard's lifeline.

Although magic can be used without chanting, it consumes more magic.

When it comes to fighting in action, it saves magic, and it's better to chant as much as you can.

(If all wizards are at this chanting speed, it certainly wouldn't be weird if it led to improved military power)

I imagined that you were probably surprised by the use of unchanging chants from all around you.

I'm still not sure about the power between Lucas and Nilsson, but I caught my mind that I might get a good attack if I was caught off guard.

Lucas and Nilsson also decided that they could not break through Marius' protection even if they were chanting normally.

No matter how much I said it was a battle to know the power of Marius, they wouldn't allow me to imitate it like I was being annoyed.

Even if we can't win, we want to bring out the bottom of Marius' power as much as we can.

The two exchanged sights with Chirali and moved on to an offensive posture.

(Oh, you want me to set something up?

While reflecting on the idea of gaze from above, Marius looks carefully at the two of them.

"[Clemson Blaze]"

"[Thunder Rain]"

Red flaming walls and bundles of thunder land and converge a few meters in front of Marius.

"[Plasma Blast]"

It changes with the purple electricity runoff with the two declarations and strikes Marius.

(Synthetic magic!

Even then, Marius was surprised.

It's an ultra-high technology that blends magic different from synthetic magic, dramatically jumping power and overlapping effects.

I can't use it without synchronizing the will and magic of both, but it's the awesomeness of Lucas and Nilsson that made it happen only with eye contact.

Besides, it also points to the "dispel" weakness that only a single magic can be deactivated at a time.

With the strongest defensive magic "Dimension Shield," there will be magic differences that can be prevented.

But it seemed somewhat unclean.

(Let me show you because you want to know the power)

Marius, who thought that far in the blink of an eye, responded with a chant omission.

"[Plasma Blast]"

The purple electricity runoff shot out by Marius knocks out another purple electricity and strikes both of them while halving their power.

But the two of them were not on the spot.

(Did you warp without chanting)

I felt magic from behind the moment I thought, and Marius was using magic with spinal cord reflexes.

"[Thunder Rain]"

"[Reflection]"

Moving behind Marius, Nilsson shot in "Thunder Rain" with no chant, but a bunch of thunder bounced off and hit Nilsson due to the film of light that occurred shortly afterwards.

"Gu......"

Reflected at close range by the magic unleashed with the intent of a blow all over his body, Nilsson was unable to react and took a decent bath.

After two small steps of groaning, he falls.

A big twist boiled down at the moment, but if you try it on Marius, it's not the other way around.

Lucas said, dozens of meters were in front of Marius' right diagonal away, trying to finish the chant.

"─ Crush it. [Mailstrom]"

Water system tertiary magic.

It is one of a wide range of exterminating magic that generates a large whirlpool to crush and crush enemies.

Because of its properties, even a large number of opponents do not lose their power, and neither the "Magic Barrier" nor the "Dispel" are of great use.

I mean, is it true that the two Luzons were nothing more than pussies?

Seeing turbidity in water more than double his own height, Marius realized the matter slowly.

It's magic that can be adequately prevented by "Dimension Shield," but then there will just be more pursuits.

When the habit of deciding to focus on defense gives me the feeling of being attacked as good as this far and going around in the back, I want to fight back.

"[Firestorm]"

A giant blue and white fire column rises and evaporates the turbulence of the water in an instant.

"You're lying..."

Once again, the spectators groan.

"Firestorm" can't possibly offset "Mailstrom" by nature.

Unlike the natural ones, created by magic, there is basically no such thing as compatibility.

Only the more powerful one wins.

So it's an anomaly that "Firestorm", which is nothing more than subordinate small-scale magic, should be defeated with the "Mailstrom" of superior, widespread magic.

However, as a reality, "Mailstrom" was suppressed and did not even produce water vapor.

In other words, the power of the surgeon is unusually different.

One scale of power was clearly visible that he overthrew Wyburn's flock, and no one tried to speak out at the earliest.

Lucas was in the exact same mood, but still didn't try to throw the game out.

Until the other day, Lucas didn't even imagine a man who was regarded as one of the most powerful classes on the continent, a man who could neither die nor reach his feet.

I even wanted to see more power if that was the case.

His magic power is close to its limit, however.

I think it's my last blow next, and I start chanting.

Marius, who felt such an atmosphere of Lucas, also intercepts him in a focused state.

"Earth, pierce. [Earth Javelin]"

Soil rises from the ground, forming four spears and flying towards Marius.

Marius can't tell if this is the last attack.

That's why I'm going to decide on a battle.

"Fire, burn the enemy. [Fire]"

The blue and white fireballs unleashed by Marius pierce the four earthen spears, and extinguish them and strike Lucas as they are.

Lucas is weak and doesn't make one move.

At the end of its Lucas eyes and nose the fireball stopped perfectly, and disappeared.

"There is a battle, winner Marius!

When Yardabels raised his right hand and declared, he was wrapped up in the loudest voice ever.

Marius sighed small and relieved, guessing the victory or loss had been decided.

The results of the training in the woods were clear.

If I hadn't practiced until I could add and subtract properly, I would have injured Lucas without being stopped in front of me.

Nevertheless, Lucas and Nilsson were surprisingly strong.

On a level, Lucas is only ninety-four, eighty-five in Nilsson, but in a series of skilful attacks, he could have been hit sooner or later if he had been thorough in receiving them until the end.

Even if it was overwhelming in pure force, it was turning backwards in the rush by experience.

I'm just a young man with high specs.

I realized once again the immature part of myself and even felt glad that there was still room to stretch.

I saw the cheer raised from around me as the magnitude of praise and expectation for me, and I consolidated my determination to respond to it.

I don't know what the Buddha used to say, but Marius didn't understand the words, so he couldn't feel the ingredients of the fear that the spectators had hidden.

The thought of being accepted after knowing his power prevented him from making a precise decision.

There was little pure praise for the opinions exchanged by the spectators.

"After all, didn't you use first-degree magic?"

"Then it is clear that you are too strong to completely seal off Lord Lucas and Lord Nilsson."

To be honest with the spectators, I'm clearly feeling the fear that I didn't just feel from the information that I kicked Wyburn.

What Marius didn't mean at all was telling everyone he watched.

"I found it horrible to be flat with a series of unchanging chants."

"No, it's really scary to overthrow superior magic with unchanging subordinate magic."

"Yes, indeed... you wanted to suspect it was a human endeavour"

Klaus Adler, the legendary Great Wizard, sealed Zagan, who once said he had attacked down three continents.

And Melinda Guilford, who sealed Aulanis, the demon king, who says he destroyed five continents and drove the world to the brink of annihilation.

There are even those who imagine and remember fear when a power comparable to that of the heroes who saved the world is directed against them.

It was common for people to live in the political world to have such thoughts.

"I'm glad he's on my side."

"It was at His Majesty's discretion to become a national magician as soon as possible."

It was Chancellor Falk and Kingsguard Knight General Yusef who tried to change such a bad vibe.

Of course, an awkward, foolish judgment, if not a satisfactory result, must have been followed by profane voices.

The battle of Marius saved the king's voice.

And with the prime ministers driving, the atmosphere improved somewhat.

Marius had forgotten that it was his army's power.

Many felt nothing but fear in excessive power.

Rovisa, who had seen such surroundings, thought she would give Marius some advice later.

Hi Marius, because the point of how his powers appear to others seems indifferent.

At least they're doing something they can't help but take.

I didn't have the feeling that I was in the habit of getting help either, but that's why I reconsidered that I didn't want to see developments where my benefactor would be isolated for meaningless fear.

The heads of state of this country have a funny feeling that makes me want to frown even from her.

When I developed the new spell, it made me struggle.

What a lot of people only tried to admit in Tariant, even though the superior spell in Farmian proved more obvious than seeing fire.

"Farmian is the language of the Farmian Empire, a savage invader. If the Tarryants use it, they will lose their character."

Crap theory sounds like a true argument if all the people with status and power talk about it.

He was obsessed with crap at a time when demons were harmed and there was an urgent need to restore his power and his power of war, and even the king sealed it up.

Perhaps if the proponent had not been a princess, he would have been guilty of some sort.

In the end, I wish I had succeeded in developing the common name "Rovisa formula" in Tariant, which is better than Farmian, but as soon as it did, they returned the applause.

That was the only way to go, at least for Rovisa.

It would be powerfully impossible for them to do Marius harm, but it doesn't seem so hard to stick a knife in their heart.

I thought I'd be careful, and I thought I'd ask Emma and Helka to do the same.
