301-295 Sage VS Whirlwind, Ghost, Abyss

No matter how many times I think about it, it seems strange.

Master and Lionel, whose levels and skills had been initialized about half a year ago, had been steadily regaining their strength.

And I, who overconfident in the power of the dragon half a month ago, was easily sunk by Master.

I couldn't understand why even Bazak, who was touted to be the closest to the Sage, would join there.

Master held a slightly longer straight sword twenty meters away and smiled ferociously.

An expressionless Lionel with a great sword of fire and a large shield at the ready.

Bazak, with his palms goop, meditates and waits for the signal in his natural body.

The pressure of the three of them, which I could tell because they were facing each other, was no less than that Destroyer.

I held up my illusory sword and shield, and made three magic circle chants that I could instantly activate.

And now it was time for the battle to begin.

''Luciel, let's go!''

Yes. But I'll take the lead.

I laughed and immediately activated the Attack Barrier, Magic Barrier, and Century Barrier.

That was the signal for the beginning.

The first to move were Lionel and Bazak.

Lionel, who had put magic power into the Great Sword of Flame, shot out a flaming bullet about one meter in diameter towards us.

Following that, Bazak fired countless four-attribute magic arrows into the air without any sense of restraint, and then fired at me.

I probably knew somehow from the signs that my master was coming at me from behind Lionel's flaming bullets, but I decided to intercept them all while admiring how he was able to rush in.

Yes, this time I decided to return to my original intentions.

The sanctuary wards would drastically reduce the power of the approaching flame bombs and magic arrows, and since I had activated the barrier, they wouldn't die.

In truth, I thought about using the power of the water dragon to build an ice wall, using the power of the earth dragon to feed the three of us from the ground, or using the power of the dark dragon to show us an illusion, but like the evil god, I decided that I wouldn't be able to defeat these three if I relied on such a small handful of tricks.

That's why I decided to take the maximum amount of tactics that would allow me to make use of my abilities.

I clothed my illusory sword with the power of a water dragon and waited for my master.

When the flame bullets and magic arrows reached the sanctuary boundary, the sanctuary boundary was more effective than I aimed for, and the first batch of flame bullets and magic arrows were all completely sealed off and finished their job.

I didn't expect it to be so effective against magic as well as the miasma of the demon race, so it was a pleasant miscalculation.

When I received my master's attack, which was coming at me with a kiiiiiiin, with my illusory sword, it felt like a sword fight echoed throughout the arena.

''I didn't expect to receive a head-on attack. Do you really think you can win with that?''

The master laughed and told him so.

''Yes, I've been fortunate enough to meet a good teacher, and I've been taught that if you only rely on small steps, you'll miss out on important things... hahaha!

Tsk tsk.

I activated my body enhancement with high-speed magic circulation and blew my master away with force.

The level difference isn't absolute, but even so, if the statuses are far apart, I can push this kind of force.

''【Sanctuary Rear Armor】''

I decided to target only my master first.

It was because I stepped that the sanctuary armor could withstand Bazak's magic and Lionel's flaming bullets.

I had already positioned myself to slash away with my Illusionary Sword where Master had landed.

But Master still had a smile on his face.

At that moment, he remembered that Master had that one, but the Illusion Sword didn't stop and slashed at the leftover image of Master.

''Hahaha, let's go.''

When I heard my master's voice that disappeared from in front of my eyes like that in my ear, I felt a faint discomfort in my left arm holding the shield.

''【Extra Heel】''

There was no need to check the discomfort to see what it was.

He had been cut down by a buzzard.

'There really is something wrong with that technique,'

It's the kind of depth that has kept me afloat, you know?

'But how can you swing a sword with your arm? After all, Master.....

Say what you want to say. And if I can't wield a sword just because my arm is frozen, I won't be around anymore.

In the middle of this conversation with my master, I felt a chilling chill run through me.

I jumped up on the spot and used the power of the wind dragon to avoid the aimed shot.

''Wind Dragon, become a wing that flies freely through the sky.

At that moment, a slash of fire and four-coloured light mingled with an arrow... or rather, a spear, which had already passed through the place where I was, hit the three-meter wall and exploded.

I looked at Lionel and Bazak and realized.

That I had awakened two battle crazies........

It seems that I had greatly hurt their pride by deciding that they could handle it with the sanctuary wards after they entered the battle.

Lionel had somehow switched to a spear instead of a large sword and glared at us with a face like an evil demon, and Bazak was madly launching his spear into the air instead of a four-attribute arrow.

''Muzzled?''

The moment I muttered that, Bazak's magic power spear flew towards me.

I managed to evade it, but before I knew it, I seemed to be in between Lionel, and Lionel's spear popped my left arm with the shield, and then struck me further to my right knee.

''[Extra Heel].......What's with the spear?

When I looked at Lionel, I was just amazed that he hadn't moved from where he started at all.

However, I understood why Lionel's spear had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

When Lionel held up his spear, the space in front of the spear was distorted.

And the next moment after Lionel thrust his spear out, the space in front of me was distorted and the spear appeared.

I avoided it in a hurry and complained to Lionel.

'Lionel, what is that weapon?　It's too foul.

''This is the Divine Spearless Thrust. It is a magic weapon created by Lord Leinster and is the treasure of the empire. But unlike magic, the maximum range is not very long at 20 meters, and it uses a lot of magic power, so you can't use it a lot.

''You can't afford to be looking away.

I heard my mentor's voice from behind me.

I was wondering why we were able to work together like this, but this was a fight I couldn't afford to lose.

Originally, I was going to steal Master's skills and fight while continuing to recover all the time, but apparently I couldn't say that.

''Holy Dragon, defend yourself. Thunder Dragon, the power to leave everything behind. Water Dragon, freeze everything that touches me.

I could see that Master's sword was aimed at my neck.

I'm sure he's going to stop me in my tracks, but unfortunately, I couldn't lose.

I slashed off both of my master's legs with my illusory sword and ran through the air to cut off both of Bazak's arms and close in on Lionel, but apparently my awakening time had reached its limit here.

That's right, my magic power was exhausted.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a single magic potion with me, and I remembered that I hadn't bought any, but then I remembered another thing.

I immediately took out a barrel of object X.

'Le, Master Luciel, what?'

Obviously he was worried about being attacked with Object X, but that's not the case.

Drinking Object X in a state of depletion would eliminate this pain of depletion.

I immediately poured the Object X into my special Object X mug and drank it all at once.

''Phew........ but the depletion is over. Now Lionel, the only thing left to do is you. Let's get to work.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to win.

Lionel's spearmanship is even more impressive than that of the big sword.

I'm not sure if this is an underdeveloped skill, as the thrusts and slashes attack my entire body at will.

The game came to a quick and easy conclusion.

In fact, Lionel had already fallen into a state of magical power depletion.

I drank the Object X and put my last hope on the slightly restored magic power, and when I activated my body strengthening again, the attack went through properly.

This is how I defeated my masters.

After that, Nadia and Lydia, perhaps assuming that my magic power would be depleted around the time Lionel sent out his divine spear, hurriedly went to the workshop on the third floor, and thanks to the technical team getting the magic crystal sphere that they were analyzing, I managed to heal the wounds of my masters.

And now the masters could play their longed-for restoration.......punishment game.

Currently, the three of them were looking at a pitcher mug with object X poured in front of them in equal measure.

'Come on, drink this like you did when you trained me.

I'm sure my face would have had a grin on it.

I didn't think I could beat these three people with the strength of an outsider, so it was only natural.

However, the one word that Master had muttered just before drinking Object X made me realize that people's dreams are fleeting.

'Luciel, I didn't expect you to lose. Now I have an excuse to challenge you to a fight.

What?

And Lionel follows.

''Let us be lenient with our punishment this time. But when our level is raised in the Valley of the Dragon, I would like a rematch.

Well, no.

The winner is the one being hunted.

Ignoring my words, Bazak finally said the most plausible thing and the three of them puffed on the object X as if in unison.

Bazak fainted, Lionel started to shake on the spot, and his mentor staggered to the stairs.

I would have been the winner, but the result was that I was clearly more sober than before it began.
