Chapter 30: Skill Difference

This is bad! This is bad!

Countless root-like vines emerged from the forest throughout the arena and rushed towards me.

I activated my Ice magic and froze the ground around me including most of the trees inside the arena, but the gigantic vines didn't even flinch and continued their charge.

The roots hiding underground instantly grabbed me, but just like what happened at the hole earlier, they were trying to hold me down without causing any damage, apparently leading me to the worst-case scenario of exhausting myself before I could even fight her directly.

I stopped them by burning them down using my Fire magic and Wind magic while using my extreme speed to dodge, however, due to me being occupied at dodging the vines, it's already too late when I noticed the literal thundercloud forming right above me and blasted a devastating thunder strike coming from the sky.

After the deafening roar of the thunder strike that I just took. I immediately felt the surge of massive physical boost in me. The Warrior's rage finally kicked in.

I heard footsteps coming towards me, I raised my head and found her staring at me with her left hand leaning on her waist.

"You had me thinking that you were already doing it when you covered the ground in ice, but it turns out, you're just using your feet as your medium. Now that the entire place is already covered in ice, you can now create an indefinite amount of ice spikes to attack me, quite creative if I must admit. However, you are doing it the hard way."

In an instant, all the trees around us instantly disappeared into thin air, even the ice all around the arena I created ended up disappearing as well.

So this is what a powerful mage could do, she can create and demolish a forest at will, not to mention the freaking thundercloud that struck me earlier.

However, I have no time to wonder, I need to move fast! Now, the obstacles are finally gone and she's just standing in front of me.

I blasted both my Fire and Electricity magic towards her, but as I expected, she just brushed it off using her Earth magic and blocked my attack using a huge boulder.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

I activated my extreme speed and with the power boost I received from the thunder strike earlier, I think I can overcome her in close combat now.

"This is how you do it."

After hearing her voice, the next thing I felt was the intense pain of being smashed by the boulders of ice, which suddenly materialized from the ground.

Unlike me, who still needed to cover the ground in ice to create ice spikes, her ice spikes came out in every direction, on the ground, and in even mid-air without anything supporting them.

I covered my fists with Fire and Wind magic to punch and burn my way through, however, the ice spikes floating mid-air suddenly surged towards me and hinder my movement as I destroyed or got hit by some of them and most of them were the same size or larger than me.

Due to the damage I was receiving, my physical attacks became more and more powerful. Making smashing through the ice and even rock boulders became easier until I finally reached her.

I immediately activated both my Plant magic and Mystic thread and released countless webs and vines from my hand towards her.

"Yeah, as much as I want to talk, I'm in the middle of something here."

"That reminds me of my early days."

I stood up and faced her.

Man, I'm already beat up but she hasn't received any damage yet.

Toasted hand later, I have a battle I need to somehow win.

"If you have an aptitude for Dark magic, your Dark magic will be far more destructive than the ones who don't have an aptitude for it, even for the caster. It will always attack you every time you activate it with your body as your medium. With that said, why not use the more reliable and more powerful medium? I hope it's not just because you can't do it."

"Maybe for you, it makes a lot of sense, but not for me. Would you mind explaining it to me while I'm waiting for my toasted hand to cool down? You looked like a very smart person, I'm pretty sure I could learn a lot of things from your outstanding knowledge in magic."

One of her eyebrows instantly rose as she crossed her arms.

Of course, it's just a joke. As if she would, as far as I'm concerned, it's already a winning game for her, I don't think she would waste more of her precious time on me.

And there she is.

A stone suddenly appeared behind her.

She sat on the stone.

And crossed her feet and put her hand on her chin while attentively staring at me.

She exhaled. "Hmph, you really are helpless, it can't be helped then. Besides, who am I to reject the plea of such a poor soul that you are, I am too kind for that."

Ha?

Don't tell me she decided to go on teacher mode just because I called her smart jokingly?

"I... I didn't expect you actually take it serious-"

"Now, now, I'm the only one who's allowed to talk. All I need you to do is to listen carefully, nothing else. Are we clear?"

All I could do was scratch my head. "Ah... sure."

Yep, she definitely does!
