155How to deal with fire wizards (3)
Roman's remarks.
I was angry when I first heard it.
‘They are clearly ignoring me..’
1ten thousand gold.
4This is enough money for 10,000 people to live on for a year..
In fact, it seemed to mean that he would not allow defeat, and above all, he said to call in the wizards from the Tower of Magic as it would not be enough on his own..
Roman's intention may not have been that way..
However, the successive remarks could not help but sound negative, and that day, Felix could not sleep all night..
Felix.
5circle wizard.
Although it is a 4-star level as an aura swordsman, the magician's special ability shows a power that goes beyond the level of an ordinary star..
Even if Roman Dmitry is a 5-star aura swordsman. It didn't make sense for him to take him down so easily..
I ground my teeth hard..
As I was seething, I constantly looked back on the two days of sparring..
‘From now on, it is a matter of pride. I will definitely bring Roman to his knees and empty Dmitry's safe..’
first week.
It was a series of defeats.
There was no way to attack Roman Dmitry's evasion ability with regular magic, so I deliberately accumulated memory magic to learn Roman's patterns..
With a heart full of pride. Using the defeat as a foundation, various plans were devised to defeat Roman Dmitry..
8first confrontation.
Used magic that restricts movement.
Roman's feet were tied up with forced magic such as slow, but before he could hold out for long, the effect of the magic disappeared..
It was a scene I didn't understand..
Although Roman Dmitry was able to shake off the hold's effect in the first fight, I didn't expect him to react so casually to successive spells..
According to magic circles.
I heard that the effect can be eliminated by removing the mana that penetrates the body..
But it was a very difficult method, and Roman Dmitry's reaction speed exceeded the normal speed..
First operation failed.
5work later.
The second operation began.
This time, he hid his body with magic such as mist. Roman Dmitry was able to find Felix's location like a ghost even though visual information was blocked..
In a strange attempt, the positions of heaven and earth were reversed..
A strong impact shook his head, and Felix rolled on the ground miserably..
a week later.
The third operation was systematic.
Inducing Roman's attack.
They had set up a magic trap the day before, and as soon as Roman Dmitry came running, they activated the magic trap and attempted to attack simultaneously..
however. When Roman stepped onto the ground, there was a strong impact and the magic trap was destroyed..
Knowing the existence of magic traps is great, but nowhere else in the world have I heard of destroying a magic trap with physical shock..
I lost my mentality.
third operation.
It was a rather petty method..
Even though it was not an impromptu match and was prepared the day before, it did not even touch Roman Dmitry's hair..
Roman was a monster.
A being that wizards cannot touch.
Regardless of the difference in skill, Roman knew how to deal with wizards..
‘Roman Dmitry's abilities are an area that cannot be understood even in magical academic papers. Where on earth did this monster appear? If Roman Dmitry harbors malicious intent towards wizards, he will have a hard time surviving, except for wizards of circle 6 or higher..’
I got goosebumps.
Just imagining meeting Roman Dmitry on the battlefield made it impossible for me to smile and accept the series of defeats..
Confrontation repeated every day.
I was literally struggling.
I did whatever it took, and in the last 30 days, I gave up my pride..
last resort.
I took advantage of the opportunity to go first..
Roman Dmitry took advantage of the time he arrogantly gave away and tried to finish with a strong attack from the beginning..
As a result.
Kwaang!
Crumbling rumbling.
Aura Shield.
Even an attack with all its might was blocked in vain..
Felix, who was looking at that scene with faint eyes, gritted his teeth at the shock that was about to come..
puck!
A world spinning round and round.
Felix, who was thrown to the ground, raised a white flag for the first time in a month..
* * *
30Day.
30battle.
30defeat.
Now I admit it.
Roman Dmitry was someone he couldn't win on his own, and Felix thought about this problem in a different way..
‘Let's not obsess over my personal pride. If you lead the Phoenix Tower and encounter a monster like Roman Dmitri on the battlefield. We cannot guarantee victory.’
I contacted the magic tower.
Phoenix wizards arrived at Dmitri, and they frowned as Felix explained his purpose..
“……Are you saying we should fight one-on-one now??”
“Felix. Anyway, that's not it. Wizards generally do not pursue 'sparring'. Magic is an area where it is difficult to control the power, like swordsmanship sparring, so if you make a mistake, it may directly lead to a fatal accident. But it's a battle between many people. If you hurt Dmitry's eldest son, what are you going to do about it??”
Their reaction was negative.
one to many.
It was an unconventional confrontation..
And above all, there was something they didn't like.
“To be honest, isn't it a bit much to lose 30 times out of 30 fights? Felix is now the acting tower owner of the Phoenix Tower. In that case, he needs to show his dignity and skills, but I don't think he should come all the way to a distant place and show such a humiliating appearance..”
He was a wizard named Nox..
Immediately after the disappearance of Mtapju.
Phoenix's power system has completely collapsed..
Felix took over as the acting owner of the magic tower, but magicians, including Nox, were unable to accept the changes in the magic tower as they were repeatedly ignored by the magic world..
It was a total mess. Even if they join forces, there is no way to improve the bleak future, but they decided that there is also a problem with the incompetent magic tower owner..
If you can't excel with magic.
Shouldn’t you at least be good at politics?.
Felix may have been more single-minded than expected, but he was not good enough as a magic tower lord..
Felix said.
“You guys are right. Losing 30 times in 30 matches is a result that cannot be accepted by any excuse. However, Roman Dmitry offered a whopping 10,000 gold reward for this match. If we join forces to take down Roman Dmitry. Half of them are free for your personal use..”
“……Is that really true??”
Moment.
The wizards' expressions changed..
1half of ten thousand gold.
5000Even if you divide the gold by the number of people, it was a huge amount of money that could not help but make your mouth water..
We made eye contact..
As we looked at each other's eyes filled with greed, Knox again spoke as the representative..
“Do I just have to win once??”
“It is not an easy matter to think about. Roman Dmitry is like a magician's natural enemy, and if we are careless, there is a high probability that we will be defeated even if we have a numerical advantage. So, hold sufficient strategy meetings and…….”
“it's okay.”
I stopped talking..
nox.
He was also a 5th circle wizard..
50When I was in my mid-teens, I was dissatisfied with giving Felix the position of Magic Tower Master, so I didn't listen to Felix very much..
From the beginning, I thought I was a better wizard than Felix..
Even if it was an opponent that Felix could not defeat, it would be a different story if multiple wizards, including himself, stepped forward..
he declared.
“Felix, don't worry. We will organize it neatly..”
* * *
a few days later.
The sparring was conducted in a different way than before..
Felix, Nox, and three wizards.
5It was a one-on-one match..
Despite the overwhelmingly unfavorable situation, Roman’s reaction was no different from any other day..
“I will give up the first strike..”
“under.”
eat.
Nox scoffed..
Even if they just stick together, it's a fight they have an advantage over..
But giving up the first strike?.
What kind of confidence do you mean?.
“That said, don't regret it.”
glance.
gave a wink.
1It's a fight worth 10,000 gold..
There was no reason not to take advantage of the opponent's caution..
I raised my mana.
This confrontation began with Nox's magic..
“fire lance.”
Grumbling.
The moment the powerful flame formed the shape of a spear, other wizards also used magic at the same time..
“fire wave.”
“fire burst.”
flame exploded.
There was no clear strategy.
Nox had planned to simply press down with firepower, and Roman Dmitry's figure was completely engulfed by flames burning from all directions..
Flame magic becomes stronger as firepower accumulates..
Since the magic used simultaneously blocked all escape routes, I was sure that Roman had no way to hold out..
however.
sudden-
“……!”
Through the flames.
Roman Dmitry rushed forward..
Since it was a pattern using the 'Aura Shield' that had previously destroyed Felix, Felix shouted in a hurry..
“be careful! fire wall.”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
created a wall of fire.
The intention is to buy some time.
Before the fire could spread quickly, Roman Dmitry took advantage of the moment and attacked one of the wizards..
Sigh-
“Wow.”
I heard a scream.
One wizard knelt in vain, and while he was about to attack again with a confused face, another wizard was attacked by Roman..
Even though it was fast, it was too fast..
Even though he was not using Blink, Roman quickly closed the distance between him and the wizards, and in return for attempting a single attack, two wizards were hit..
“This is crazy.”
Nox was embarrassed..
If it's as expected.
It should have ended with the first attack..
He clenched his fist, drew in the flames, and used his secret weapon..
“Fire Field).”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
5circle flame magic.
Controlled the surrounding flames.
He quickly attacked Roman and tried to limit his opponent's movements, but no matter which direction he attacked, Roman Dmitry's movements did not slow down at all..
It was an embarrassing scene.
In a situation where the flames were overflowing, Roman quickly dodged the attack as if he did not feel the heat and attacked another wizard..
they didn't know.
The state of invulnerability to cold and cold weather.
It turns out that most heat doesn't work on Roman..
puck!
The third wizard was struck.
There are two wizards left.
Nox gritted his teeth and raised his mana, but before he could do anything, he spotted Roman appearing in front of him..
“omg?!”
Speed beyond common sense.
Only then.
Felix's warning came to mind..
Felix told him to be careful countless times, but there was no way to know Roman's true identity unless he met him directly..
at last.
Wow-
Nox stumbled..
The strong shock made me roll my eyes and fall backwards..
an overwhelming victory.
Felix gaped..
The game wasn't over yet, but I didn't dare to attack..
“……no way.”
The truth I tried so hard to ignore.
That was revealed in this match..
Roman Dmitry.
It was clear that he had never once shown his full force against him..
* * *
wizards of phoenix.
My mentality was completely shattered..
They came to their senses with swollen faces and looked at the sky with a look of fascination like Felix on the first day..
“They say there is a sky above the sky.”
“What the hell happened??”
“This was a fight that couldn't be won in the first place.”
crushing defeat.
I felt like my mind was flying.
Those who were born with the talent of a wizard were always in a position of strength throughout their lives, but this was the first time in their lives that they experienced such a helpless feeling of defeat..
Felix was right..
30Roman Dmitry was such a monster that he lost 30 times in 30 fights, and I couldn't think of a way to defeat him..
“……Felix. What on earth have you been fighting about??”
It was Knox.
Is it a feeling of sympathy for the same disease?.
When I faced a wall that I couldn't overcome, I felt overwhelmed just because we were in the same group..
one to many.
Even the last possibility has disappeared.
Feeling that there was no more way to defeat Roman, Felix left the wizards and stood up..
“Just wait. I'm going to talk to Roman..”
I was curious.
Roman Dmitry.
How on earth does he deal with them??
Starting with the evasion movement, the aura shield.
From start to finish, I wanted to look into Roman Dmitry’s thoughts..
I went to see Roman.
Seeing him spending leisurely time in his room, Felix felt moved for no reason..
“Let me ask you directly. To be honest, I don't have the confidence to beat Roman Dmitri anymore. So, could you at least explain how you defeated us so that we can analyze the cause? In the world I have lived in, there is no one who avoids magic and overcomes it head on like Roman Dmitry. I know this is a difficult request, but please think about the future.…….”
“All right.”
“yes?”
“I can't tell you exactly, but I will tell you how I prepared for the match..”
Roman's answer.
It was unexpected.
I thought he wouldn't tell me because he was worried about the secret being leaked, but Roman got up willingly..
“follow me.”
I moved my seat.
I came out of the castle.
After walking for a while, we arrived at a neat, two-story building..
“It's here.”
“……This?”
Let's go inside.
I saw a familiar environment.
Like a magic tower, numerous books were on display inside the building, which was surrounded by bookshelves..
Roman said.
“The books in it are all related to magic. It is safe to say that Cairo probably has all the magic books available on the market. Starting from popular books to non-mainstream books. I lived here for a while and spent time analyzing what kind of being a wizard is..”
Thousands of books at first glance.
I opened my mouth.
As I saw the books pouring into my eyes, I realized that Roman Dmitry's victory was not luck..
“From now on, I will explain how I dealt with Felix. Don't just take it as a favor. After hearing all of my explanations, I hope Felix has some additional advice..”
Roman walked..
widely.
one book.
It was a book titled Understanding Magic..
Even at that time, Felix had an expression full of doubts about the very basic magic book..
