Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huff Huff!
Two waves of dense magical energy spread in the sky. After which, they collided with each other. Just like muffled thunder in the clouds, a low and deep explosive sound was emitted. The tense atmosphere caused the air particles to stop moving.
Countless pairs of eyes gathered between the two of them. They held their breaths and remained silent. The extremely tense atmosphere in front of them only needed a tiny fuse to blow up.
The arena, which was originally so quiet that it was frightening, was suddenly attacked by a wild wind.
The instant the wild wind disappeared, a sharp look surged into the eyes of Hughes and Ferri almost instantly. The two of them moved and released their spells at the same time. One gold and one red whizzed past… after which, they violently collided in mid-air.
Bang!
A loud sound rang out as the heatwave formed by the magic energy attack swept towards the audience. The entire floor of the arena had been completely destroyed by this collision.
The three of them were seated in the northern seats. The heatwave did not affect the three of them at all. In fact, not even their hair was blown up.
“As expected of a little guy with SS-grade magic talent…” the gray-haired old man saw this scene with a hint of admiration that flashed across his turbid eyes.
“Hughes has sharp eyes and is calm in the face of his enemies. His temperament is not inferior to those who have been through hundreds of battles.” Archmage Rodney also nodded. His tone was quite appreciative. It was possible to train your magic, but it was not so easy to hone the mentality of a strong person.
“Hmm, his eyesight is indeed good. He knows how to pick the weakest point of Ferri’s magic. It can be considered to be using cleverness to breakthrough power. However, there was also a saying that one’s strength could defeat ten people. If he continued to dodge like this, the consumption of magic power would obviously not be enough to catch up with Ferri. As long as Ferri is able to withdraw his magic, it would be difficult for Hughes to gain any benefits.” Archmage Clyde said.
The gray-haired old man and Archmage Rodney also nodded. That was exactly the case, but… Was the current Hughes really avoiding the magic or plotting something else?
At the center of the explosion, a muffled sound was suddenly heard. A purple magic book was thrown out of Hughes’ body. Hughes, who was in the middle of a mana concentration spell, suddenly said, “Light magic, chained light arrows.”
After Hughes finished speaking, the magic book suddenly opened on its own and floated beside Hughes. Then, the sound of flipping came.
As the sound of flipping the book rang out, more than ten golden light spears appeared beside Hughes once again and shot towards Ferri.
The uproar from the arena instantly intensified. Regardless of whether it was the freshmen or the first and second-year students, they clearly did not expect that Ferri, who was still ferociously attacking just a moment ago, would suddenly be repelled by Hughes.
“You!”
Ferri’s face was filled with anger. He stared fixedly at Hughes before he took a deep breath. The fiery-red magical energy in his right hand rapidly accumulated.
Fiery-red magical energy rose and gathered on Ferri’s magic staff like flames. The magical energy rapidly contracted and vaguely resembled a fiery-red sun the size of a palm.
An aura slowly radiated from his staff.
The clamor outside the arena quickly began to weaken. Many students watched this scene with fear and anticipation. Ferri had clearly pushed the magical energy in his body to the limit.
Hughes looked at Ferri who was using all his strength. He pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
He clasped his hands together and circulated the magical energy in his body. He softly chanted, “Light magic, light sword of punishment!”
Golden magical energy slowly spread out from Hughes’ hands. A holy aura also spread from his body.
As the magic energy slowly spread out, there were actually faint signs of Ferri’s violent magic energy surpassing it.
When the magic energy was circulated to its max, the six golden wings surged out from Hughes’ back. The pressure created by the powerful magical energy instantly suppressed Ferri’s magic energy.
“What a powerful magical energy!”
Surprise flashed across the eyes of the three people in the northern viewing seats. This level of magic energy was no less than that of a mid-level intermediate elemental mage. Moreover, they could sense that the golden magical energy that gushed out from Hughes’ body was filled with a holy aura… an imposing aura. This was clearly not something that ordinary magic energy users possessed.
“Hughes, you are seeking your own death!”
A stunned expression flashed across Ferri’s face when his magical ability was actually suppressed. Soon after, he let out an angry roar and took a step forward. After which, everyone saw that his body was lit up by numerous fiery-red light spots, these light spots were scattered all over his body.
“Is Ferri squeezing out his own potential?”
Exclamations once again erupted across the arena. It was unexpected that Ferri had been pushed to such a degree. This time around, he was the one being bullied!
Swoosh!
As the fiery-red light spots appeared, the fiery-red magical energy on Ferri’s magic staff suddenly increased explosively. The fiery-red sun, which was originally the size of a palm, also quickly doubled in size, the surrounding magical energy was mercilessly extracted by the magic staff in his hand.
The faces of many students around the arena became solemn when they saw this scene. The current Ferri had clearly exhausted all of his strength. This kind of attack would definitely be like a thunderbolt.
He was planning to directly defeat Hughes in one strike.
Otis also stared intently at the arena. His face was filled with anxiety. Even Alice’s pretty eyes had become much more solemn. Ferri’s strength was considered to be very strong even though he was just a sophomore.
“This time around, I want to see what you can use to fight me!”
Ferri’s expression was dark. After which, he smiled sinisterly at Hughes. The fiery-red sun on his magic staff quickly flew towards Hughes. The sun-like magic was so violent that it was eye-piercing.
“Blazing sun!”
The blazing sun was extremely fast. In an instant, it appeared in front of Hughes. The violent magic carried a hot wind and caused Hughes’s clothes to flutter. His black hair was blown back by the wind. However, his black eyes had not shown the panic that Ferri wanted to see.
“It’s already so late, yet you’re still putting on an act. Turn into ashes for me!”
Seeing that Hughes did not take his ultimate move to heart, Ferri’s heart skipped a beat. It was followed by endless anger. “Look at me. I’ll step on you in front of so many people. “Will you still be as calm as you are now!?”
