Chapter 36: I Won This Duel

“Be careful, Scola!”

Cook’s heart-wrenching voice did not stop the fireball in the slightest.

Thus, when the fireball was about to hit Scola, Cook quickly chanted an incantation.

He knew very well that if he wanted to chant the most powerful lightning spell in his life, he would have a chance to block this elementary fireball!

However, even though he was a Grand Mage, he had even faintly stepped into the ranks of a Divine Mage.

However, he was unable to directly chant any high-level spells of the Grand Mage, so he could only use the most powerful high-level spell among the Mages.

Although both Mages and Grand Mages used high-level spells, there was a huge difference between the two.

High-level spells used by Mages were equivalent to ordinary high-level spells. Basically, they could be cast without chanting when they reached the intermediate stage of the Grand Mage. Compared to high-level spells used by Grand Mages, they were much simpler in terms of consumption and chanting speed.

High-level spells used by Grand Mages used more mana and complicated incantations. Although they were the same spells, they could produce effects that were several times stronger than ordinary high-level spells used by Mages.

Only the late-stage Grand Mage could cast spells without any mana consumption. Moreover, only those at the level of President Kukulkas could cast spells without chanting.

However, Cook was far from achieving this!

Cook had already seen the outcome of this clearly.

But at the moment, there was nothing he could do!

Because, Cook knew that if he didn’t do anything, the fireball spell of this low-level spell would be enough to kill Scola!

As the surrounding fire elements disappeared, the lightning elements began to stir in the air and gradually gathered around Scola.

Cook pulled out an exquisite staff from his robe.

This staff could increase a mage’s casting speed and at the same time, it could increase the power of the staff by a small level!

“High-level spell, lightning shackles!”

A powerful blue lightning condensed into a shackle and surrounded Scola, trying to block the fireball spell that even he, the Grand Mage, was shocked by.

“What… What kind of spell is that? ! It’s too terrifying!”

“No, this is the thunder shackle that once bound the giant dragon! Could it be that the battle mage who once bound the giant dragon in the south is this shameless Mage? !”

“Look! The lightning shackle seems to be unable to block senior John’s Fireball!”

“Oh my God! What terrifying magic power is this! Senior John, this is a beginner-level spell that uses magic power to form a high-level spell that can compete with Mages or even Grand Mages!”

“And from my angle, I discovered something important. Senior John didn’t even chant to cast a magic spell!”

As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked!

He didn’t even need to chant to cast a basic spell that could rival a high-level spell!

A dangerous thought rose in everyone’s mind. Did geniuses really not need to work hard?

His basic spell could already rival a high-level spell. If he reached the level of a Mage or a Grand mage…

Wouldn’t he be able to single-handedly take on those high-level dragons and even lead the human race towards prosperity!

There was more than one person who had such thoughts, especially Tish and Anna. When they saw this scene, they finally had a true understanding of John.

He was a true genius!

John had never learned any magic. He had only relied on the talent and insignificant effort given to him by the God of Magic.

And he had reached this stage!

How terrifying was this!

At this moment, everyone was staring at the scene in front of them.

A new student could actually make the second person among Gustiko, the magic tutor Cook, take action!

Moreover, with his powerful magic power, he was actually able to fight against a Grand Mage who was several levels higher than him!

The fireballs and the lightning shackles collided with each other, and the surrounding air rose to a peak at this moment.

Not to mention Anna and Tish who were the closest, even in the distance, the magic apprentices who were sitting in the audience.

They could also feel a rush of hot air hitting their faces!

And the next moment, the scene that shocked everyone the most had appeared!

Fireball was a basic spell after all, colliding with thunder shackle would still result in a deadlock, but at this moment, the fireball began to change dramatically.

Scola was sitting on the ground with a terrified expression. The ground where he was standing was completely stained by a disgusting liquid.

“Save… Save Me! Cook!”

Cook saw the drastic change in the fireball. As a Grand Mage, he naturally knew what this scene meant.

If one wanted to advance from a grand wizard to a Mage, they needed to understand simple methods of controlling the elements. However, if one wanted to advance to a Grand Mage, they needed to know how to control the nature of the elements!

The nature of the elements could even be changed to a higher level by relying on low-level spells!

This was the difference between a Grand Mage and a Mage!

And the scene in front of him, the elementary spell fireball, was actually evolving into an even more terrifying stage!

What kind of monster was this person in front of him!

Even a battle mage as strong as Cook was unable to change the nature of an elementary spell!

This was because the magic power that a beginner spell could withstand was limited. If one did not control the magic power accurately, it could disappear in an instant.

Even being able to change the temperature was his limit!

However, the John in front of him could actually change the nature of a beginner spell!

Could this be the treatment of having 100% affinity with the elements!

All the fire elements acted as if they had seen a king, obeying the command of the white-haired youth!

The fireball began to emit boiling sounds and bubbles like lava, and then it covered the entire thunder shackle with a tick-tock sound.

Previously, when the fireball spell appeared, Cook already had no confidence in blocking this attack.

However, in this battle, John actually used the ability to change the nature of the elements!

Cook, who was trying his best to maintain the lightning shackles, was no longer in the mood to cast other spells.

Seeing that his lightning shackles were about to be eroded by the lava, Cook could not help but shout out,

“John! Stop the elemental evolution! Are you trying to kill Scola! ?”

Just as he was speaking, a drop of lava landed on Scola’s body.

“Ah! It’s so hot!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire piece of lava landed on Scola’s body, who was hiding under the lightning shackles.

Cook quickly used his magic power to mobilize the lightning element and covered Scola’s body, forming a protective barrier.

John watched the scene in front of him. After the lightning element gradually drove away the fire element, he said coldly,

“I won this duel.”
