Chapter 30: When Fireball Spell Is Mastered to the Extreme |
“Ah?
This low-level fireball spell can be used like this?”
As a seasoned Black Iron-rank mage,
he knew better than anyone the strength of that magic just now.
Even a mountain could be shattered by it.
But such a powerful spell was actually blocked by a simple fireball?
Is this still a fireball spell?
Evelos also clearly saw the figure across.
The opponent was dressed in noble attire yet looked so young,
Yet at this age, he could melt her teacher’s ice dragon with a fireball?
She knew better than anyone the damage her teacher’s ice dragon could inflict.
Where did this monster suddenly come from?
Erelos’s expression darkened.
Then he suddenly said, “He cast magic, did you see him use a magic wand?”
“Hm?” Evelos was stunned, then said, “No... wait!
Can someone cast magic without a wand?”
Erelos: “How is that possible?
How could a mage use magic without relying on a staff?
Wait... except for 100% mana affinity!
How could this be? So absurd!
Two with 100% mana affinity.”
Reaching 20% mana affinity was already considered extremely talented.
Over 50% meant genius level.
But 100% mana affinity? They had never even seen that before.
It was said the Mana Furnace created such perfect affinity.
And now, there were two here?
“If we could recruit these two, how could Destiny not prosper?”
Looking at the stunned expressions across, Jonas couldn’t help but smile slightly.
The strong never complain about their environment or the level of magic they practiced.
This was the manifestation of mastering the fireball spell to the extreme.
Using the system and Charis’s S-level magical talent, quickly leveling up step by step.
At the same time, utilizing this feedback to push fireball proficiency to the utmost.
After the magical clash,
everyone on the city wall clearly saw the figure standing before Charis.
Jonas?
Slynda rubbed her eyes and looked again.
I...
Ah?
It really is Jonas!
He... he can also use magic?
And now, his magic seemed even stronger than Charis’s.
Those three terrifying ice dragons were so easily dispelled by him.
Is this some kind of joke?
Profound swordsmanship combined with this absurd magic.
Where did he find time to train so much?
Holdo also widened his eyes.
Is this his son?
A mage?
He was originally a swordsman, which already surprised him. Now he was a mage as well.
Not to mention having a mage aptitude was already one in ten thousand.
Even the so-called top geniuses of the Empire could not master both magic and swordsmanship!
And both were formidable.
Holdo: “I... my son seems pretty formidable?”
“Not just formidable. To have such strength in such a short time,
I feel that with the young master,
we could even attack Tars City in the future.”
Holdo’s originally worried expression brightened after hearing Asher’s words. “Hahaha, you don’t even look whose son he is.”
“Uh...”
No one knew why, but whenever his son was mentioned, he would suddenly get defensive.
In front of the city wall,
Charis looked at Jonas blocking the way and said excitedly, “Lord Jonas!”
Jonas smiled and said, “You’ve done very well. Let me deal with that mage.”
“Mm!”
After these days of learning, Charis knew Lord Jonas’s talent and strength far surpassed her own.
So even though she was called the Mana Furnace, Lord Jonas did not bother to compete.
Outside, others called her a genius, but only she knew the most terrifying genius was right before her: Lord Jonas.
If her fireball count was considered proficient, then Lord Jonas’s fireball count was simply transcendent.
Jonas turned to Erelos and said, “I advise you to leave, or your entire army might perish here today.”
Erelos snorted coldly and said, “Perish here?
A mere territory of a few thousand people, and you want to resist our massive army?
We have crushed everything in our path. Even territories with tens of thousands are no match.
You have good talent; why not join our Destiny Army?
Postaya Province will belong to Destiny in the future.”
Hearing this, Jonas smiled faintly, “Belong to Destiny?
To be honest, you don’t deserve it.”
“Whether we deserve it is not for a brat like you to decide.
Based on your talent, I’ll give you a chance.
If you join us, you can learn top-tier spells, not just fireball spells.
High-level magic scrolls are yours to choose.”
Jonas smiled and said, “Once I kill you, those scrolls will belong to me naturally.”
Erelos looked at Jonas, a flash of anger in his eyes but said nothing more.
He waved his hands, and a powerful magical force surged around him.
Instantly, a huge ice dragon appeared out of thin air.
The ice dragon was vivid and even more terrifying than before.
Wherever it passed, the air seemed to freeze, forming a thick layer of frost.
Since the opponent was so ungrateful, he would show no mercy.
Now, with the army at the city gates,
when the wall was breached, he wanted to see if Jonas would still be so arrogant.
The ice dragon carried biting cold, ice crystals condensing into sharp icicles in the air, pouring down like a storm on Jonas.
Facing such a terrifying assault, Jonas spread both hands.
Then a small fireball burst from the air.
This fireball looked no different from before, but the moment it flew out, multiple fireballs attracted each other and merged, forming a huge fireball storm.
The fireball storm collided violently with the ice dragon.
The scorching heat and biting cold clashed wildly.
Erelos was shocked to find his proud ice dragon rapidly melting under the fireball storm’s burning.
He hurriedly increased his magical output, trying to reconsolidate the ice dragon, but Jonas gave him no chance.
Jonas mobilized all his magic power, and all fireballs seemed to be drawn by some force, swirling like living creatures around the ice dragon, forming a massive ring of fire.
The ring of fire shrank smaller and smaller.
The ice dragon let out a resentful roar before completely dissipating in the flames.
Erelos watched in disbelief.
“Ah?!”
He couldn’t help but exclaim, voice trembling.
How was this possible?
How could there be such precise magic control and affinity?
Before he could react, Jonas had already condensed an even larger fireball, smashing straight at him.
That fireball radiated intense heat.
Erelos felt an overwhelming pressure, his heart pounding.
How could it form so quickly?
In a hurry, Erelos raised an ice shield to block it.
However, the fireball’s impact was too powerful, shattering the ice shield instantly.
Erelos’s body was blasted away by the force, flying backward.
Alongside him, Evelos was also thrown off.
The two tumbled several times in the air before slamming heavily onto the ground.
“Cough cough cough—”
Erelos struggled to get up, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He lifted his head with difficulty, looking at Jonas, his voice trembling: “Could this really be... the fireball spell?”
He found it hard to imagine a day when he would be defeated by the most basic fireball spell.
To elevate the simplest fireball spell to this level, this person was simply unbelievable.
On the city wall,
Holdo saw this scene and licked his lips.
“Really got the little bitch’s kiss!
My son is truly fierce!”
He even began to doubt whether Jonas was really his biological son.
Beside him, Slynda looked at her brother with a complicated expression.
She had once even mocked her brother as a waste.
If such magical ability had been hers...
Inside the Destiny Army,
beneath countless shields,
Erelos, looking disheveled, said:
“Charge the battering rams! All of them, charge!
The enemy’s wall is about to collapse.
Today, they will surely die!”
Following Erelos’s order, countless Destiny Army soldiers surged like a mighty tide, launching an overwhelming assault on the city wall.
Seeing this, Holdo’s face dramatically changed.
“Full alert! Under no circumstances allow them to breach the wall!”
The enemy’s forces far outnumbered their own.
If they let them break through, the consequences would be unimaginable. Everyone would die without exception.
At this moment, Jonas stood high above, overlooking the enemy army swarming toward the city walls like an anthill.
He slowly opened both hands, then closed his eyes.
Suddenly, a powerful natural magical force surged around him.
“Ssshhh—”
With a sharp sound tearing through the air, the first fireball smashed like a meteor toward the enemy troops.
Immediately after, more fireballs poured out like raindrops from the sky behind Jonas.
In the next moment,
the sky was filled with fireballs, like shooting stars.
The air was distorted and warped by the scorching heat.
The intense heat even made Holdo’s face, who was nearby, feel a wave of burning.
Holdo was completely stunned by the sight before him.
His mouth, originally ready to issue orders, froze utterly, only able to let out a stunned exclamation:
“I... ah?”
