Chapter 175 – You’re Already Useless

Strengthening magicians were a different school than regular magicians.

Fireballs, ice arrows, meteors… these were the typical impression that everyone had of magicians, but that was just one of the schools… evocation.

Evocation follows certain rules to transform magic power into other forms of energy, doing modelling of shape and compression of energy, and thus creating magic with large destructive power.

Strengthening magicians were different.

They were weak but also very formidable, they were looked down on, but also fought over talents. In a fight, they were the one that would drag the team down, but also the core of the team. If there was a strengthening magician present, then the battle would unfold centering around them!

Strengthening magicians couldn’t fight alone, but they could cast various buffs that gave their companions immense power.

Take the rock skin, for example, it could significantly boost allies defensive power, if they were facing enemies of lower levels, they could become near impenetrable.

“Barth, don’t worry about saving energy, use all your strength!” The leader Veblen ordered.

“Yes, captain!”

The strengthening magician received his orders, he didn’t hold back and continued to cast magic.

“Word of the Mind!”

Along with his chant, another layer of faint purple fog dispersed and quickly vanished into their bodies.

It was a fourth level strengthening magic, its effect was significantly raising one’s five senses in a short period of time, especially hearing and sight, so it could give one’s allies a larger advantage during a fight.

But he wasn’t over yet.

When the light purple fog disappeared, he started to cast another magic.

This time it wasn’t as smooth and natural as before, his actions were delayed and his chant late.

Veblen knew that Barth was ready to cast that, so he began to move.

He embedded his heavy shield into the ground, a deep blue battle aura surged outwards enveloping the entire shield. Soon after, the shield was covered with a wave-like shell, rippling along with the circulation of air surrounding them.

At the same time, it seems like Barth’s magic was almost finished.

“Anti-magic…”

“Damn it!” Lin Xiao screamed out, “Caesar, hurry up! That’s a sixth-level strengthening magic! If he casts that then we’re going to be in trouble!”

Anti-magic field’s effect was to severely limit magic power circulation speed within a certain area, which meant that all offensive magic were useless, fireballs would become firecrackers, ice spears would become beautiful ice crystals…

Everyone from Loran Academy other than Shen DaiYing depended on magic, and Water Academy had three warriors plus one strengthening magician and were not afraid of their magic power being suppressed, so if Barth successfully casts that, they would have the upper hand.

Caesar didn’t know how Lin Xiao could instantly see through what magic he was about to cast, only one with a higher magic power level could do so, but Caesar didn’t think too much of it and focused on the fight.

Since they were going to fight, then he’s going to go to his heart’s content! So he let out a lethal move right off the bat, the violently undulating power and the dark red dragon slayer sword merged, ready to fire off at any time.

“Undulating sword, thunder wind slash!”

He was stopped by Lin Xiao previously, now that he was freed he was going to go all out!

On the other hand, the others from Loran Academy also started to move.

Unlike Caesar’s flashy style, Shen DaiYing already disappeared when the fight started, her lack of presence was scary. When Lin Xiao remembered her, he only saw the footprints left behind from where she was standing.

As for Rosie, she nervously stood behind Lin Xiao, carefully preparing various magic to support Caesar.

“Anti-magic field…”

“Thunder wind Slash!”

Just as their magician was almost finished, Caesar was finally ready!

Along with a clap of thunder, a dazzling power struck down with the swing of the sword like a terrifying electromagnetic cannon, the power about to swallow all the opponents before them.

The shield warrior stood in front of them, “Water shield!”

That was Veblen’s special skill, the water on the shield suddenly started surging, and the originally mirror-like shield’s surface was disrupted.

Then a thunderous boom, the power struck the shield head on! The water began rolling like it was brought to a boil and began rapidly evaporating, his blue aura was being broken down by the sharp thunderous power.

“Captain!!” The other two members cried out.

It was the first time they saw such a terrifying skill!

Thunder wind slash? They’ve never heard of it, but it looked nothing like normal skills, even though they were next tot heir captain and were separated by the shield, that devastating power gave them the chills, so much so that they had the urge to escape!

Was that the power of a magic swordsman? Everyone was fifth-level, but Caesar’s power was so terrifying! Even the three of them together couldn’t match that power!

One second, then two… the ear-piercing sound continued. The water covering the shield was nearly exhausted, the once sturdy shield was making creaking sounds, as if enduring an immense pressure and could break at any moment.

“Ahhhh!!!!” Veblen let out a mighty roar!

He tossed his axe aside and grasped the shield tightly with both hands and firmly planted both feet using his shoulders to support the shield and tried going head-on against that terrifying power.

But he was too naive, he didn’t know the terror of a magic swordsman’s power.

Bang! Veblen was sent flying.

His shield wasn’t able to endure the power and the water completely evaporated, the explosive power sent the shield flying, bringing the pitiful Veblen along with it.

“Captain!?”

The other two were stupefied, but Barth still needed a bit more time to prepare so they had to protect their frontline.

“Cherry Dance, blossom!”

“What!?”

They twisted around and noticed a slender long-legged beauty standing behind them that was targeting their ally!

They could tell that any one of those dazzling cherry blossom petals were fatal, and any of them touching Barth would injure him, even rock skin wouldn’t help!

They awoke their battle aura, one holding a longsword leap towards Barth, trying to block the opponent’s strange sword skills, and the other launched an attack!

“Water strike!”

The sharp sword melted into a liquid, as he advanced he whipped it towards Shen DaiYing. The other arrived just on time and used his own body to shield Barth.

But he was still too slow, he was able to use his sword to stop a couple of petals, but two still managed to get his arm and thigh, along with a tearing sound, two fresh red flowers sprouted out.

“Hm… how stubborn.”

Seeing the incoming strike, Shen DaiYing regrettable sighed and gave up her attack.

She lightly kicked off the ground, then vanished and appeared back within Loran Academy formations.

“Sorry…” She looked ashamed and whispered to the black-haired youth.

“Don’t worry Sister Ying, you did well. Water Academy isn’t like those small fry from before, it wouldn’t be that easy.” Lin Xiao didn’t mind and looked back at Barth.

The fight wasn’t over yet!

After the first wave of attacks, Rosie finally finished preparing, fourth level magic, lighting spear!

All the three warriors were already out, as long as Barth was hit, he would be burnt to a crisp, and Water Academy would lose!

Rosie’s magic would become the decisive factor!

Everyone laid eyes on that electric spark, but what came next shocked everyone.

“Anti-magic field!”

His allies sacrifices weren’t in vain, Barth finally succeeded in casting his magic.

A cloud of silver-white magic fog exploded, this time it didn’t go inside of anyone, it instead exploded out like a flour silo spreading out over ten meters.

The fatal lighting spear wasn’t stopped, it travelled through the fog and continued on straight towards Barth.

But as it flew, it began to shrink and grow dimmer until becoming a small spark when finally reaching Barth and giving him a small static shock.

“What? How? I…” Rosie thought it was her own mistake, and panicked trying to explain herself, but Lin Xiao just shook his head at her.

“It’s not your fault, it’s the field.”

He waved his hand and dispersed the fog away from him.

“Sorry Rosie, your magic is already useless.”
