I’ve seen this a few times. Was it something engraved in my memory, or was it because I met the wizard at the academy I had encountered, a person called the Frost Queen, or a disciple of Archmage Arnold?

If it wasn’t that, Gerard couldn’t figure out whether it was the fear remaining in the mark engraved on his body. The sight before my eyes was becoming cold and frozen. This was not in a symbolic sense, but quite literally, the world in front of my eyes was becoming covered with cold. The cold, white chill was reaching the ground and ceiling, freezing everything.

It wasn’t something like this. The wizard named Astan was someone I could kill at any time if I wanted to. It wasn’t something like this.

If you put your mind to it, was it karma?

Gerard couldn’t help but laugh out loud due to the overwhelming fear he felt. I thought Denatus was indifferent and would give me another chance, but in the end, those who refused death can’t go anywhere.

It would be fitting to say that Astan’s appearance in Gerard’s eyes was beautiful. Small ice crystals fluttering around like snow, and a silver-haired wizard holding a staff among them. I heard such a rumor.

A cold spell so powerful that it freezes the user, which is why all good ice magic users have silver hair.

I swallowed my saliva. My heart was pounding, and my heart was pounding strongly as fear overtook my entire body. Who would have thought that someone who was considered a weak person would become such a strong person.

I was fighting against a strong person, but there was no such thing as moderation.

No, that person is sincere, and there is no wizard in this world who is not sincere.

“Ice, rise up.”

As soon as the spell was heard, the cold air that filled the surroundings began to change into ice. The expanding ice, as if about to explode, flew towards Gerard, who laughed out loud at the sight and pointed his staff forward and shouted a spell.

“He who controls the thunder, I summon your power here. Thunder, descend here.”

When Gerard’s spell ended, the purple and white lightning surrounding Gerard’s body overlapped and turned into a single beam and rushed towards the ice. Astan saw this and wrapped his right hand holding the staff with his left, infusing mana into it.

Ice and lightning collided. Amid the loud explosion sound that made my ears ring, and the clash of lightning and ice fiercely digging into each other as if trying not to push each other away, Astan quickly pulled out his left hand that was covering his right hand and spoke a spell.

“Ice, pierce the enemy before me.”

At Astan’s spell, ice crystals gathered at Astan’s fingertips to create an arrow, and Astan moved his finger to move the ice arrow. As the ice arrow quickly aimed at him, Gerard also cast another spell with his left hand.

“Pierce through.”

And at the same time as Gerard’s spell, a ray of lightning collided with Astan’s ice arrow and disappeared, and Gerard spoke to Astan.

“You’ve become stronger.”

“Why don’t you just concentrate during that time?”

Astan concentrated the mana in his right hand and began to create the ice even faster, and Gerard laughed out loud at the sight.

“You are extremely arrogant.”

Gerard also concentrated mana in the hand holding the staff. Gerard looked into Astan’s eyes amidst the lightning that was gradually turning purple.

It was different from before. The green eyes had changed into mysterious purple eyes.

Goddess Denatus is also cruel.

And at that moment, the march of ice created by Astan slowly began to push away Gerrard’s lightning strike.

I knew the feeling that something had changed. The possibility of saying that it is possible now is not as high as that of my senior, but wouldn’t it be within reach of my senior’s toes? That kind of thinking.

I felt like I heard someone’s voice in my ears. I felt like someone was standing behind me. Mana was slowly decreasing. If the war of attrition continued, the future was unknown.

At that moment, when I saw Gerard’s eyes facing me, I heard a voice in my ear.

‘Ice freezes water.’

‘It’s a simple story, right? Ice freezes water, water is ice, ice is water.’

‘then… … ‘What are the limits of the ice we can manipulate?’

I felt like I could hear Erica-senpai’s voice.

Yes, ice freezes water, ice is water, and water is ice. It was a natural fact. Even if you held a small child and asked him, he would have given that answer.

so that.

I grabbed my left hand.

“Ice, gather in my hand.”

As soon as I ordered it, the water around me began to gather. Drops of water, streams of water, were gathering around my hand. The water droplets that had collected on my hand began to turn into ice as they came into contact with the cold, and I stretched out my left hand.

“Ice, crush the enemy before me!”

And according to my spell, the ice gathered around changed shape and moved towards Gerard all at once. That’s right, Erica senior said it.

‘So what you need to do is use a method to defeat your opponent by putting all your power into the number of attacks and one spell.’

It was correct. I didn’t have that much mana. If it becomes a war of attrition, I will lose. So, attack quickly, multiple times, and pierce your opponent with just one full force.

The shock magic flying towards Gerard targeted various parts of Gerard, and Gerard used other magic with his left hand to repel the shock magic, and at that moment, Astan strengthened the march of ice that was unfolding with his right hand. proceeded.

The lightning strike was slowly being pushed back.

Not long after, no.

If you keep going like this, you can win.

But at that moment, I felt a chill. can win. No, I win.

win As that feeling approached, something was running up my spine. Gerard’s expression began to change into joy as the thunderbolt slowly pushed back. Isn’t there something strange, like he is enjoying the approaching death?

And then.

I felt like time was passing slowly. A thunderstorm rushing forward, a march of ice that threatens to engulf the opponent, and a world that has turned completely white.

Something was strange.

In an instant, a feeling of fear came over my entire body. It was strange. At that moment, I stopped the magic in progress, quickly threw my body and rolled to the right, and a large fire erupted from the ground.

“… … What?”

Those words flowed from the corner of my mouth, I looked at the flames, and then at Gerard. Someone was standing next to Gerard. It was a young boy. No, he was a boy so beautiful that one could have mistaken him for a girl.

He had short red-brown hair, red eyes, and no wand in his hand. There was a strange pattern engraved all the way down his right arm to his cheek. It was a pattern I had seen somewhere. … … Is that the mark of the Demon King’s army? A feeling of fear covered my body.

Although he looked like a young boy, the sharpness of his gaze and the chills on his face stimulated my subconscious.

It’s dangerous.

“ya! I didn’t know how to avoid it! You said you had a good feeling, do you think it’s true? Have you seen Gerrard? I avoided this!”

“… … What are you doing here?”

“I was just wandering around because I was bored, and someone created a barrier here. I came in because I was curious! Well, you and a strange wizard are fighting? And the wizard who fell over there is that wizard, right? Sharon? Descendants of Shaniheart! Where else can you get an opportunity like this?”

Then the boy turned his head from Gerard and looked at me.

“Then… … Who are you? He is a young wizard who is neither a descendant of Shaniheart nor a disciple of Arnold… … hmm… … ah! Are you that friend? A wizard from another world? Hey, here are all the wizards we need to target. Should I be thankful for His Highness Abel’s insight?”

“… … Who are you?”

“Oh, you don’t have to be so scared!”

At that moment, a feeling of fear came over my entire body.

damage.

As soon as I heard that deathly cry in my ears and was about to move my feet, a snake made of flame started running towards me from behind the boy.

A large snake’s mouth that seemed as if it could swallow my whole body came into view.

“Because you too can die here!”

My senses were answering. Die. I didn’t know if I would die one more time. There was no chance this time. I had to avoid it or block it.

I stepped back and pointed my staff at the snake and chanted a spell. As soon as I cast the spell, the ice around me gathered and collided with the snake.

“Oh~ It’s better than I thought? I want to play with it.”

I repelled one snake, but I wasn’t very confident that I would be able to block the next attack if it came. I tightened my grip on the staff, took a slow breath, and looked at the two.

If Gerrard joined in, it was unstoppable.

“Then shall we try one more time?”

At the same time as the voice, the snake moved towards me again. The moment I put my staff forward and was about to say a spell, I heard footsteps.

It was just one step. But, at the same time as those steps.

The front of my eyes was full of fire. The moment I turned around, in a wave of blue flames that seemed to set everything on fire, she was standing there.

If there was star dust, wouldn’t it sparkle in this color? If a really great craftsman treated amethyst like thread and made silk, wouldn’t it look like this?

Purple hair, black eyes that look like they were carved from black crystal. As far as I can remember, there was only one person who looked like this.

“I’m sorry, but this student and the student lying there are students at the academy.”

Senior Isabel, the reincarnation of Denatus.

He was standing there with a smile on his face.

“If you don’t want to die, could you please go back? Unlike others, I take things too far.”
