Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 580
580. Luna Vermont vs Grande Pelua – Transcendent Will (3)
***
ㅡConcentration.
Concentrating one’s consciousness was basic in almost all fields.
Moreover, in order to develop magic, greater concentration and the development of elaborate rituals were inevitable.
However, there were inevitably times when that was not possible.
The situation is urgent, so the concentration of consciousness is elaborate. So, when it is impossible to show concentration for a split second enough to draw a magic circle.
At that time, almost all mages experience frustration.
Absolutely desperate. Why are mages so powerful and revered even among nobles? .
ㅡCan’t I exist alone?
Why does there always have to be someone else around them?
It was like a fundamental flaw in the existence of a mage.
It has been like that since the beginning of magic.
Since it was almost impossible to create elaborate magic while protecting oneself and expressing one’s power, someone who could protect oneself was inevitably needed.
The human instinct is that the more dangerous it is, the greater the concentration, but even so, it is extremely difficult to express something elaborate.
It is the instinct of living things to avoid crisis and try to escape the situation by any means possible.
When a very sharp blade tries to pierce my heart right before my eyes. Can you thoroughly carry out your will?
The question of that, like the fate of magicians, has existed for centuries.
And no matter how many genius magicians searched for an answer, no clear answer was found.
However, there clearly existed someone who overcame the magician’s weaknesses.
Among magicians who were supposed to be geniuses, they were called geniuses who had reached heaven. Only those who ascended to the top of the magic tower existed alone and revealed their overwhelming presence to the world.
And what they achieved was not something that could be explained and spread to other mages.
Something only they can do.
Therefore, past emperors also respected the magic tower owners and never looked down on them or treated them poorly. Because they were each worthy of respect… … .
And now,
In the Colosseum stadium, a miracle that even a magician would find hard to believe was unfolding.
… … .
ㅡ!
Huge rocks rush in at the same speed as a light arrow leaving a bowstring.
That was so clearly visible in Luna’s vision.
She immediately realized that the attack from the rock rising from the ground before was also aimed at this.
‘I have no choice but to do it.’
With the sense of crisis welling up throughout my body, my body was telling me that the best thing to do was to block that rock.
It is right to minimize damage from that rock by somehow creating a mana barrier that blocks the front.
Clearly my reason was telling me that.
But my eyes could see beyond the rock.
The corner of the mouth is curled up with a grin, and an unlucky face that looks confident of its own victory. Those sharp eyes, as if declaring that he was the center of the world, beneath his dark brown hair, seemed to pierce my heart sharply.
That… made me feel indescribably annoyed.
Sreuk!
I thought emotionally even as huge mana burst out from the hand holding the staff.
Emotions were prioritized over the rational judgment of how to avoid a crisis.
‘Do you think I will lose like this?’
If I block the rock with a mana barrier, the inevitable result is an over-the-counter loss.
So, it doesn’t block that rock.
That’s what I decided in the moment when the rock was constantly being bombarded with arrows.
As if emotion had overtaken reason, I was developing a completely different magic.
“Flame Spear!”
By shouting the starter word, I was able to instantly omit most of the magic circles that made up the magic.
So I miraculously succeeded in realizing magic.
Grumble!
A huge flame erupts from the staff and heads straight ahead as if discharging heat.
‘Drilling through rocks.’
And it was impossible to break through a rock of that size with a simple flame.
That’s why it came to mind right away.
Just a few days ago.
The strange nature of power that overturns the compatibility shown by Millia. I am now putting the absurd logic that Sesi revealed into magic in this flame.
He faced the rock that was already within a stone’s throw and hit it as if pouring all the mana in his body into it.
‘I can’t understand the logic right away.’
So, the concepts and various understandings that are lacking are covered with my absolute mana.
It was possible, no, it had to be possible.
The basic premise of all magic was ‘understanding’.
Absolute understanding of concepts and the magic circles that make up magic. But I realized what was more important than that. Magic is a device and tool that embodies the magic desired by the mage.
ㅡ!
Accidents continued endlessly, and even the passage of time seemed slow.
Indeed… it was like a transcendental sensation.
Whoa!
The Flame Spear, which had already left the tip of the staff, immediately struck the rock, and flames were seen scattering in all directions at once.
Couldn’t break through.
Was it a lack of understanding on my part, or was my mana not enough to turn the ideal into reality?
At that moment, I didn’t think about what was correct, right or wrong.
What I see in reality is that it has by far the most overwhelming mana among the Flame Spears I have deployed so far. That’s why I succeeded in stopping the rocks that were rushing towards me in the air.
But in the end, it was just a temporary delay.
‘Let’s blow it up like this.’
I changed my mind to thinking that if I couldn’t break through the rock, I would immediately explode the scattered mana of the Flame Spear.
Kwaaa!!!
***
ㅡ!
Even though she had launched the rock earlier, Grande Pelua inadvertently relaxed.
‘I never thought I could handle high-level magic.’
Considering the difference in class with the opponent, I gave up the strike first. I almost lost my choice.
That’s why, even as I was shooting the rocks, I had a little joy in my heart.
It was definitely different from my last opponent.
A worthy opponent who can properly demonstrate his strength.
No, she was quite a shining woman.
Even though I was floating in the air and facing my rock, I didn’t even look like I was trembling with fear or embarrassed.
It was as if he had no choice but to be in that situation even though he knew everything, and he was facing a crisis while seeing through my plan.
‘The best thing would be to block the rocks.’
Therefore, I had no hesitation in using great violence, such as shooting rocks at a defenseless woman.
Luna Vermont.
Because the opponent is someone who deserves to show my true strength.
Just when I was about to face the end of the sparring with that thought in mind, a light suddenly appeared from the end of the staff.
ㅡ!
A brilliant halo of light.
Even though it was as I expected, I was inadvertently surprised.
‘Is it really possible to deploy magic even in that situation?’
Developing magic in an unstable position. Since I also know a bit about mages, I knew how difficult it would be.
In that case, it was safe to say that Luna Vermont over there had already almost reached the level of a high-ranking mage.
However.
“Flame Spear!”
Afterwards, I had to open my eyes wide as I heard a sharp voice.
“…!”
What Luna deployed now was not a defensive magic.
Even though the rock I shot out was compatible with the fire element, it was not large enough to be pierced by a flame spear or something like that.
At that time, I couldn’t even understand why I made such a reckless choice.
Kwaaa!!!
I couldn’t understand the situation for a moment due to the huge explosion that followed.
‘How can such an explosion come from a rock that has been hit by flames?’
It was impossible.
But after that, I had to urgently raise my hands at an even more shocking scene.
The rocks that were launched were coming back at me at almost the same speed as artillery fire.
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ!!
A very strange sight, as if the power I had manifested was targeting me in return.
As soon as my liver became cold, a dizzying pain rushed through my head.
‘No way, successive manifestations of power… .’
This moment made my mind feel overloaded.
Nevertheless, it had to be stopped now.
The foolish result of being hit back by the rock I just launched was absolutely impossible.
Kwaang!!
Even as I was blocking the rock with both hands, a heavy pain instantly shot through both hands.
“Tsk!”
It is said that both hands were transformed into rocks with enormous mass in an instant, but it was not possible to block the rocks that rushed like an artillery barrage without any impact.
Grumbling… … !
As the rock continued to slide along the stadium ground, I tried my best to stop it.
With the pain rushing through my head, it was impossible to manifest any power beyond what had transformed my body.
“dare… !”
I bit my lip and threw my hands to the sides in one go.
Quang! bang!
The rock that was barely blocked falls down, leaving a huge mark on the stadium.
At the same time, I was able to see with hindsight.
Luna Vermont, rolling miserably on the stadium ground and completely disorganized.
“under……”
For a moment, all I could do was laugh.
Even though it is extreme, can it be this extreme?
Even as I watched Luna rolling around the stadium defenseless in the aftermath of the magic she had unleashed, I couldn’t even think of taking a step forward.
The only thing that caught my eye was the evil figure trying to correct itself in some way through the wildly disheveled pink hair.
Even though it looks completely messed up… .
Strangely enough, the image seemed to be imprinted in my eyes.
