The exhibition match is over, and what’s going to start from now on is a real fight until we run out of strength.
Rodwell will go all out so it’s going to be difficult to avoid his earlier magic. And for that reason, I spent precious magic stone to change the topography of the arena but… he didn’t faltered.
Perhaps, he has magic that ignores topography or it won’t be any different for him because he probably has some trump cards. Let’s not be careless.
Anyhow, this is something what I expect from magic stone that worth almost ten gold coins. Though it showed the expected effect, the stone worth more than what I expect. I’m worried about our cost of living for certain amount of time. If I muttered something about reducing side dish, the disciples would definitely work hard to earn income. It’s alright because I’m not going to do such thing but I am going to ignore their motivation since I don’t want to pour cold water on them.
Well, even if the disciples are not troubled with money, they wholly entrust their income to me. Although I never said it, they involuntarily doing it for some reason. Thanks to that, doing the family budget, giving pocket money to the disciples and managing money become a bit troublesome.
…And, I invoked [Boost] while thinking about unnecessary things and start running but did Rodwell aware that the effectiveness of [Multi Elemental] barrage were light since he changed the tactic of holding my feet by making mud wall and foothold through [Create].
I took care of the foothold by the reflexes and thought speed that I trained but it was troublesome because he fired few intermediate level magics in addition to mud wall. I want to engage in close combat battle since [Magnum] from long distance can be repelled, but even getting closer is difficult in the current condition. Plus, I’m in a difficult situation too. The tactic appeared sneaky but I have no intention to say it as being unfair since this is how magician fight.
Because of that, I’ve been confined from moving towards him. I kept on a distance and continued doing that for a quite some time.
“Your evasive move is surely amazing but it’s all good as long as you don’t get closer.” (Rodwell)
“If that’s the case, I’ll go from the front!” (Sirius)
I leaped forward while evading blades of wind in a hair breadth but of course, an obstruction of mud wall was created immediately. At that moment, I couldn’t stop my feet to avoid that mud wall but I will be fine even if I don’t avoid it.
“[Launcher]” (Sirius)
This magic is developed based on [Impact], it fires bullet of mana and release powerful shock wave at the same time of projectile’s impact. Though I developed that magic as a result of firing it into the mouth of strong monster, it is unexpectedly a magic that can destroy wall while ignoring its thickness.
When the bullet of mana hit directly on the mud wall, a sonic boom spread while the mud wall was pulverized and big hole was opened at its center. From there, Rodwell’s surprised expression could be seen. I was going to shoot [Magnum] with rubber bullet ‘Image’ but I stopped because Rodwell regained composure and invoked the mantle’s ability beforehand,
“Dear me, I didn’t think a single blow of [Impact] can destroy the wall.” (Rodwell)
“To be exact, it’s [Launcher], not [Impact]. Since [Impact] is the magic that I can use satisfactorily, I enhanced it into different types.” (Sirius)
“Good grief, to enhance a single magic to that extent… You are really an opponent who doesn’t follow the common sense.” (Rodwell)
Rodwell concentrated while having conversation and fired advanced level wind magic, [Tempest].
It is a magic that creates and launched a huge tornado. slicing its target with countless blades of wind. He was using nothing but intermediate level magics because it was a demonstration until earlier but he finally used an advanced level magic. I shall study this match since this is my first time fighting against opponent who uses advanced level magic.
