Only My Magic Levels Up - Chapter 199

Episode 199 Conclusion (1)

As it was a water giant that had recovered only a little bit of life magic and had been summoned again, it lacked the power to ‘move’ additionally.

Galen didn’t care. This wasn’t an opponent that could be used with the water pillar punch he often used before, and the goal was to just ‘set him up’ anyway.

Kuuung!

The water giant, which had its upper body tilted as if it was about to collapse, built a wall to protect Galen by embracing him with its thick arms. As its entire body was made of water, its entire body was like a water gate.

Kwakwakwakwakwa!

When it was in the form of a small bracelet, a completely different amount of water flowed out as if a great flood had occurred.

Of course, all that water followed Galen’s will without a single exception, so it did not float away in all directions in a disorderly manner.

Already in the shape of a water dragon, of course the people of this world don’t know what a dragon is so they might call it a snake, but anyway, a huge pillar of water was flying towards Ivan.

Pupupupupupu!

Lightning struck the water column as it flew faster. In the blink of an eye, lightning engulfed the entire body, bursting the snake’s entire body here and there. The accompanying high heat made the water vapor boil.

Galen paid no attention and continued on with his next move.

A water dragon that is left to explode without any strong resistance on purpose is still water whether it breaks or evaporates.

‘Oh, if you apply electricity, it breaks down into hydrogen and oxygen? Is it electrolysis or something?’

I don’t know much because my scientific knowledge is limited.

But one thing is certain, no matter how powerful the thunderbolt was, it wouldn’t completely disintegrate the water with just one hit. At least, it wouldn’t have caused a loss of more water than the water giant was spewing out.

That would have been enough.

Swaaaaaaah!

As if rewinding time, the remains of the water dragon that had exploded and shattered into pieces came together again to form a new water dragon.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Ivan couldn’t just leave it like that. The lightning struck the water dragon again, swung like a whip.

Countless water droplets scattered and stuck together repeatedly.

Meanwhile, the water giants continued to pour down their floods, and Galen had the power to control them all, so the one water dragon became two, then three, then four.

The amount of lightning Ivan was releasing was also increased proportionally. Now, it was difficult to even describe the lightning strike as ‘flying’. It was as if electricity was constantly flowing throughout the space surrounding Ivan.

Kkwarrrrrrrr!

Even a stormy sea wouldn’t feel like this. It’s not easy to see lightning strike like crazy on the rough waves.

‘It really lives up to its name as a jewel.’

Galen smiled bitterly.

The idea that water and lightning are compatible, or that pure water does not conduct electricity, had little meaning in the current situation.

Where did the earthen wall break down easily because of the electricity? It was like a tree being struck by lightning bursting apart. Ivan’s magic was a primal violence that was a huge mass of energy before it was a lightning attribute.

‘I have to admit it. His attack power is far superior to mine.’

The difference in risk between water, which is harmless if you just touch it, and electricity, which can electrocute you if you just touch it.

The difference between the properties of waves, which must gather in large quantities to produce destructive power using mass, and lightning, which can concentrate enormous power in a localized area while taking up relatively little volume.

If magic were quantified like a game, wouldn’t the attack power stat break through the graph?

If Vanity Heat Wave reaches the level of Jewel, will they be equal? ​​Even if that happens, Vanity Heat Wave will be superior in terms of area destruction, while the other side will be superior in terms of one-point concentration.

‘But in a duel between wizards, you don’t win just by having higher attack power. I know that… and my opponent knows that too.’

Galen’s eyes slowly sank.

Assuming that the two people are of equal skill.

Ivan must have the capacity. After all, Galen had the capacity.

It’s so hard! It’s so hard!

As expected.

Between the lightning bolts that spread across the surrounding space like a net.

Ivan’s true weapon has been revealed.

A huge beast, or rather, a monster closer to a demonic species, appeared. It was somewhat similar to a lion, but it was not a lion.

It was comparable in size to a water giant, but was much more intimidating. Its entire body was made of lightning, emitting a blue light that hurt the eyes.

Maybe later on, when Galen creates the primordial spirit with lightning, he can materialize its appearance.

It was far from a real spirit. It was just a bunch of Ivan’s magic power concentrated in it.

Of course, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t dangerous.

The thunder beast was not like Ivan’s previous thunderbolts, which flew like lightning, struck, and disappeared like lightning.

Rrrrrrr!

As the brain took a big step forward, the floor burst open and thunder sounded.

As if it didn’t like that, the water dragon charged straight ahead. The two bodies made up of different attributes collided.

Pupupupupupupupu!

The brain was standing tall, but the water dragon that rushed in first was torn apart.

Even though it was broken, it should have been repaired right away, but the excessively concentrated current caused even the fragments to evaporate.

The brain that won the preliminary battle gained momentum. Its shape seemed to distort slightly, and its entire body was thrown forward.

Choaaaaaaah!

What had surged up just before and blocked his path before it was too late was an overwhelmingly large vortex.

Ivan gritted his teeth as he realized at a glance that this was no ordinary whirlpool.

“Playing in the dirt again… …!”

It wasn’t something I said after hearing his monologue, but what Galen happened to say at that moment coincidentally served as an answer.

“You’re not dissatisfied since you only used water, right?”

Ivan certainly had not misunderstood. The eddy was flowing with a large amount of sand. It was almost like mud.

But unlike before, Galen didn’t use the magic of the earth. It was almost completely depleted.

Just like a storm created by a spiral gyre sucked in sand and turned into a sandstorm.

All they did was use the enormous amount of water that had seeped into the ground to ‘turn over’ the entire sandy beach and raise it up.

Because it was not solid ground but just a lot of artificially piled up sand, it was relatively easy to grab and move.

Of course, from the perspective of an ordinary wizard, that would have been quite an absurd act.

Kwakwakwakwakwa!

There was chaos at the collision site.

A mess unfolded as the sand melted in the high heat, then quickly cooled in the water and shattered and scattered again.

Brain suddenly encountered a large obstacle and his movements became a little sluggish, but he didn’t care and continued to emit electricity, destroying everything that was in his way.

The water, which continued to be supplied in a muddy state by piercing through the floor, or rather by sucking up the sand on the floor, endlessly joined the eddy and continued to hit new walls.

Pfft pfft pfft!

In the end, it was a victory for the brain.

Brain, who was walking steadily despite the fierce resistance, gradually narrowed the distance between himself and Galen.

But the expressions on the faces of the people involved were the complete opposite.

Galen’s expression was indifferent as he watched the approaching brain, while Ivan’s expression as he advanced the brain was rather crumpled.

“What kind of resistance is this… … !”

This fight was a battle between lightning and water, but it was also a battle between Ivan’s lightning-infused magic and Galen’s water-infused magic.

Since the output of both sides was enormous, the amount consumed when they collided was also enormous. No matter how much magical power a jewel had, it was impossible to boast about having a lot if the opponent also had a jewel.

So, we need to take it down as quickly as possible to conserve as much magic power as possible.

The vortex was tenaciously holding onto the brain and stretching it. The brain was ‘walking’ forward not for show, but because it couldn’t go any faster than that.

If both sides run out of magic power like this, Ivan will be in big trouble. At least the enemy will have fog and darkness left.

“How can something as simple as water hold up like this!”

Ivan, who was getting impatient, shouted out loud. But the vortex did not lose its strength and collapse.

“Well, just because lightning strikes the sea doesn’t mean the sea disappears.”

Galen muttered, guessing what was being shouted, though he couldn’t hear it properly over the thunder.

“Well, you’ve probably never met a Gem Water Wizard before, so you probably never thought about it.”

Lightning is a truly terrifying ability, and it is an especially overwhelming attribute when it comes to killing people.

When it comes to the destructive power of ‘a lot of people gathered together’, water is no less. Tsunamis are not classified as natural disasters for nothing.

If this were the sea, the tidal wave that Galen summoned as soon as the battle began would have swept away Ivan, Deckard, and the Ashen Monster all at once. Water magic is greatly affected by the environment.

In short, if Ivan wanted to defeat Galen, he should have attacked him early on, before the water level increased enough to exceed what the lightning could handle.

‘Of course, it may be a somewhat unfair assessment from Ivan’s perspective… … .’

Ivan wasn’t particularly stupid or careless and dragged the fight on.

He had been trying to kill Galen from the beginning.

I didn’t bring up the revised world right away, and after a while, Gray and his party were swept away, but in fact, it was strange that Jewel was giving it his all from the beginning. I couldn’t blame him for that.

It’s just that Galen didn’t give in.

By combining only golden magic, he successfully defended himself and even counterattacked, dealing considerable damage.

Even when entering a fight using only water manipulation in that state, he held out well.

The brain was honestly a bit difficult, but fortunately the application of lifting the entire ground and using it as an obstacle was quite effective.

During this delay, the water giant continued to spurt water and extend his weapon. Ivan could not have imagined that he could draw water endlessly from the desert.

Pavabababababak!

The size of the vortex has now surpassed the level that can be pierced by brain power alone.

Rather than being shattered and evaporated by the lightning, more water was pouring into the empty space, causing the brain to gradually be pushed out.

“This can’t be… This can’t be… … .”

Ivan’s eyes became bloodshot.

The magic that I had learned my entire life, the vision of the family that I was so proud of.

As if it wasn’t enough to be fooled by the strange method of mixing various magics.

Even in a frontal power struggle, I was being pushed back. I was pushed back by water droplets that helplessly shattered whenever lightning struck.

The humiliation of having his life denied to a young boy completely blew away the old man’s reason.

“This can’t be happening!”

Even the magic power that had spread out like a net to defend the surrounding space was taken away. If we couldn’t turn things around anyway, we would just keep getting pushed back and end up losing, so what’s the use of defending?

All of Ivan’s available magical power poured into his brain.

Parts tsutsutsutsutsutsu!

The brain that had been slowly faltering began to burn brightly.

The magical power that had been detonated without a thought for the consequences returned with an explosive force. The vortex rippled greatly.

The brain flew through the gap.

It smashes into the walls of swaying water and tears them apart, and bursts and crushes the sand and mud that are floating around.

The brain, which had captured the exact moment, managed to break through the vortex with some strength left.

Of course, that’s not the end of it. Behind the vortex is a water giant with only the upper body, and Galen, who is wrapped around it with both arms.

Brain rushed in without hesitation.

The water giant, who was a giant even by human standards but was absolutely incapable of dealing with the vortex of enormous size, also had a strength that was far inferior to that of the vortex.

Phew!

In time that has become extremely slow due to accident acceleration.

Before the gap in the vortex through which the brain had broken through had been filled.

Through the gap, Ivan could see the water giant exploding as soon as it collided with the brain.

Gambling is, success―

Puhwaaaaaaaah!

At that moment, Ivan’s body was completely focused on the brain attacking Galen.

A huge column of water pierced through the ground and crashed down.

The water pillar swept Ivan away without even being able to scream, pinning him to the ceiling of the common area.

Kwaaaaaaaang!

A loud noise was heard almost simultaneously from both sides.

Ivan crashed down with such force that the sturdy stone ceiling broke, and he fell down in a horrific state, broken and disfigured.

“Oh, no.”

Galen shrugged, smiling awkwardly behind his shield of shadow.

“Sorry. I wrote something else at the end.”
