Chapter 319 – Fixer, the Hound of the Wiseman #2
Now it’s my turn to repay the magic I received from Fixer.
I, along with the Ego Books, blew magic at the Fixer, who was releasing telekinesis.
“Bake it hot!”
The Ego Books that surrounded the Fixers released the fire magic I was learning as it was.
The flames spewed out by the ego drums created a splendid scene in the sky, as if a fireworks display were taking place.
Roaring!
“Keuuuuu.”
Even if you wrap your body with a barrier and apply telekinesis on top of it, you can’t even block the heat of the blazing flames.
In an instant, Fixer’s whole body turned red as if he was being tortured in a sauna.
“This noooooum…!”
Fixer couldn’t stand the intense fire from the Ego Books and eventually turned her target to me. The telekinesis from his fingertips was compressed into a spear-like form and fired at me.
Receiving it with the body was an act of suicide, so I stamped the quarter staff into the ground to create an ice wall.
Kwaaang! The ice wall and the spear of telekinesis collided, annihilating both at the same time.
I spread my wings and flew up and began to circle around Fixer.
He is measuring the angle to break his head with the quarter staff!
“Oh! As expected of rune mages, in the end they compete in close combat. The only weakness of rune mages is that they cannot extract maximum firepower unless they directly hit the quarter staff.”
“Why do you consider that a weakness? It’s an advantage that can increase the efficiency of magic.”
“Kuh… Do you think I’ll let you approach it anyway!”
Fixer caused a storm with telekinesis in the surrounding area, blowing sharp winds.
Objects floating near the fixer were swept away by the telekinesis storm and shattered.
‘If the storm approaches, my body will be cut.’
Unfortunately, it became difficult to break the fixer’s head with a quarter staff.
It was because it caused a storm with telekinesis, making it difficult to get close to it.
If I used space leap magic to close the distance, it seemed that I would be crushed first before killing the fixer.
“Don’t come any closer!”
I had no choice but to hover around the fixer, then folded my wings and landed on the ground.
In fact, other rune mages might not know it, but I had enough ways to attack the enemy from a distance.
I’m just sticking to close combat to make sure I finish off the enemy.
“Hehe! Try that amazing ice magic from earlier. This time, I’ll smash the ice pillar with my telekinesis.”
Fixer looked at the ice pillar that was still in the middle of the road, revealing its majesty.
It was a pillar of ice that was created when a large amount of flying objects were blocked earlier.
Freezing magic with the power of OPG was great, but I didn’t want to fight head-to-head with the fixer.
‘Clashing with force is something only unmanned people do.’
Why do I have to fight hard while sweating profusely instead of turning my head?
Insisting on a head-to-head match is something only top sellers do.
I wasn’t a top recruit!
“Hagalaz.”
I unleashed cold air with my quarterstaff, creating a frozen orb in the air.
This orb was not just a block of ice, but a frozen bomb filled with cold elements.
[Frozen Orb]
Out of the ranged attack magic I can handle, the most firepower magic!
Until now, no one had ever been unharmed after being hit head-on with the [Frozen Orb].
The barbarian old man I met during the promotion match was also almost destroyed.
If you hit it right, you’ll be able to send a weak mage down the nether road.
“…A tremendous amount of cold elements are gathering at the tip of your wand. But since it’s so far away, can you hit me?
The fixer let out her mocking laugh and fired her psychic spear at me at random.
While I was casting, ego books came and blocked the spear of telekinesis.
While blocking the projectiles that applied telekinesis, he focused on completing the Frozen Orb in silence.
The Frozen Orb, which gradually grew in size, was completed to the size of a cannon ball.
However, even after the Frozen Orb was completed, I did not stop blowing cold air.
‘The frozen orb has reached the limit of cold air intake.’
The finished Frozen Orb is in a state where the inside of the sphere is filled with cold elements.
In this state, if additional cold elements are blown into it, it will explode like a grenade heated by fire.
In the eyes of the other wizards, it was no different from an act of suicide.
Indeed, the fixer saw my strange behavior and questioned it.
“What are you doing? The cold sphere has swelled up to explode. It means that the capacity of the element set in the attack magic has been exceeded. If you do something like that, the sphere will explode and you will die!”
“…”
I didn’t answer.
He kept his mouth shut and acted like he was a madman.
“Not only you, but everyone around you freezes! Are you doing this sanely!!”
When the frozen orb was not fired until the end, the fixer made an expression of staring at something mysterious.
Damn it!
It’s almost time to explode.
If I fire the Frozen Orb late, it will explode around me.
The people who were watching me seemed to have noticed that it was dangerous after hearing Fixer’s words.
The eyes of the citizens of the city and Jakartans, including Princess Rebecca, Kate, and Princess Selma, were focused on the Frozen Orb.
“Mo, Mongma-sama! What kind of self-destruction are you doing while fighting!!”
“Sir, let’s just leave it alone! Luke must be thinking about something! I believe in Luke even if his head is broken!”
Meanwhile, Rebecca was breaking out in a cold sweat and shouting that she believed in me.
Indeed, he is a reliable colleague who has followed me since the first trip.
With a big seed! No, is it Daekkaeru?
Eventually, the time came for the Frozen Orb to explode.
“Quaaaaah!”
“Help me!!”
As the citizens screamed, I recited a rune that meant space while swinging my quarter staff.
“Thurisaz!”
The [Space Leap] Magic that transfers an object to another space through a wormhole.
Until I was a second-class wizard, the objects that could be moved with [Space Leap] Were limited to myself, clothes, and quarter staff.
However, now that his capacity as a space magician has increased, even magic can teleport him by hitting him with a staff.
The moment the magic was activated, a flickering wormhole appeared behind the Frozen Orb.
The opposite exit wormhole connected to it was created right in front of Fixer’s eyes.
Only 0.5 seconds!
During the time the wormhole was created, the fixer probably thought of this.
What the hell is this weird hole? Do!
Because there were very few people who could use space-type magic on the current continent.
The Ninggard side is also conducting research on space magic, but they are secluded and do not disclose the researched data to the public.
Even Wiseman doesn’t know much about space magic.
Of course, Fixers, who are only their minions, would not know what a wormhole is.
“Ah…?”
The moment the fixer furrowed his eyebrows, my quarterstaff touched the frozen orb.
The frozen orb that collided with the staff was pushed out and sucked into the wormhole.
It was sent to the other side of the wormhole just before it exploded!
To the vicinity of Fixer, who is causing a telekinetic storm.
“I-why is this here…?!”
Fixer froze when he saw the frozen orb that suddenly jumped out in front of his eyes.
It wasn’t a metaphor for the surprised expression, but it was literally freezing.
The overcharged Frozen Orb spewed out cold air in all directions, causing frost to form on Fixer’s body.
“Huuuuu!!!”
What would happen if you dropped a frozen orb in a telekinetic storm?
The answer was ‘burst’.
Kwak Kwak!!
Unable to withstand the pressure of the raging storm, the Frozen Orb exploded fiercely.
The compressed cold air spread out, creating a huge block of ice in the sky over the theatre.
Looking closely, I saw that Fixer was trapped inside a block of ice like a dinosaur from the Ice Age.
It was stuffed with a bewildered expression, so it was worth looking at.
Fixer must feel the reason why dinosaurs went extinct in the ice right now.
If there were dinosaurs in this world too.
“Uh, wow, wow…”
The fixer, which was like a natural disaster on the theater road, finally collapsed.
Since he’s a first-class wizard, he must somehow keep his lifeline in the ice.
However, unlike the Barbarian old man whose body was like a diamond, Fixer was a wizard.
Although alive, it is almost the same as dying.
You don’t have to suddenly break through the ice and play Game 2.
“It’s over! The terrorist is subdued!”
I shouted out loud and informed the citizens on Theater Road that the battle was over.
The orcs who were tied to the roots of the noose tree no longer went wild, as if they had come to their senses.
“Waaaaa!!”
“Luke! Luke! Luke! Luke!!”
“As expected, you had a plan for everything!”
Citizens of the street, nuns of Kwangmyeongseong Church, and Jakartans cheered while shouting my name.
‘Now I can use the great magic that Fixer used, right?’
Since I observed Fixer’s great magic, I should be able to create a telekinesis storm as well.
Although it was a deteriorated clone, where did one of the means to protect the body increase?
Later, I will ask Rumi to analyze what exactly the fixer’s great magic is.
Your strength has increased.
If it was a game, this system message would probably have been displayed.
――Luke has acquired 〈 Telekinesis Storm 〉!
I finished the arduous battle, but I felt like it wasn’t too bad because I had learned something.
