Chapter 575 – Reversal (5)
When the game started, it was Avon Jack who moved first and moved Mana.
The eight fireballs that appeared around gave the impression that they were still mainly dealing with flames, and flew in the straight path that could reach Roanna as quickly as possible.
Roanna immediately created eight water arrows and fired them in the direction of the fireball.
Paang!
Almost simultaneously, the eight fireballs collided with the water arrows and lost their power, and this time Roanna fired a water spear that used more mana than the water arrows.
Avon Jack stretched out a huge whirlpool of flame to block the water spear, and the water spear lost its power due to the strong power of the flame, so Roanna built a huge rock wall.
“Both players are amazing! Chris Roanna uses water and earth to counter the intense fire!”
Unlike Asui’s boasting of physical abilities that are difficult to explain in words, a battle between wizards with a strong sense of giving and receiving.
Once the caster was able to explain the situation, she started talking excitedly.
“Chris Roanna creates a huge ball of water behind the rock while the flames are blocking it! Avon Jack must be ready to block it!”
Roanna was creating a huge sphere of water, and looking at the speed at which it rotated, it seemed like there was a little bit of wind mixed in as well.
When it was confirmed that the water sphere, which began to rotate at a very fast speed, was loaded with sufficient force, Roanna went on the offensive.
I deliberately broke down the rock wall and fired a water sphere through the gap. Avon Jack, who was shooting flames in a wide area, continued to spout flames and summoned another image.
Save the country!
“It’s a giant hammer of fire! If I’m not mistaken, it looks like it’s naturally joining forces with the flame vortex!”
He hit the water sphere flying towards him with a hammer of fire.
As the caster said, the vortex of flames that continued to burn the broken rock wall began to be wrapped around the hammer of fire, and not long after, it struck down the water sphere.
Paaaaa!
As a huge amount of water vapor filled the stadium, transparent blades of wind began to fly towards Avon Jack.
Avon Jack erected a wall of flames around him and immediately saw where the blade of wind was coming from, and fired several arrows of flame at that direction.
“Avon Jack calmly blocks an attack that is barely visible to the eye with two magic spells. But Chris Roanna doesn’t stop attacking!”
Roanna began pouring out spears and arrows using the two elements of wind and water, and Avon Jack, who had initially been on the offensive, turned to the defensive.
I am also a person who uses fire, so I thought fire was not suitable for defense, but it was clear that Avon Jack was more skilled than me.
If flame doesn’t work, I think it’s easier to respond with something else, and that’s what I’ve done.
At that time, Roanna mixed the rocks with the wind and water and started throwing them.
As the elements that were difficult to block with flame flew in, Avon Jack frowned and moved his hands left and right.
“Could this be called a firestorm? It appears to have overwhelming power!”
The firestorm containing her powerful rotational power began to advance towards Roanna, blocking all of Roanna’s checks.
Even rocks that would have been impermeable could not withstand the fierce firestorm, and Roanna created a water storm to counter it.
Two huge elemental storms that filled the stadium collided.
“Wow! Wow! Those with abilities can fight in really unbelievable ways!”
“I think it’s worth watching because it’s a match with a time limit of 5 minutes. The two players’ skills are really outstanding, so it’s a treat to watch.”
I couldn’t check because I was concentrating on the fierce battle between the two, but there was about a minute left.
At that time, the two wizards moved as if they were about to settle the matter.
Avon Jack created more firestorms, and when a total of three firestorms were created, it felt like the stadium was completely full.
“Avon Jack’s new firestorm! And I’m not sure what Chris Roanna is!”
Chris Roanna floated five circles with gold borders in the air.
He can launch six circles, including flames, but he seemed to have left out the flames because he thought it would be of no use to Avon Jack.
In order to block the only element used by Avon Jack, flame, Chris Roanna began pouring out five elements.
Elements of water, wind, earth, light and shadow began to pour down to replace the disappeared water storm.
The three firestorms combined into one occupied most of the stadium, and the five elements were doing their best to break through the flames.
“Huh?”
It seemed that way.
Shoo!
At that moment, a colorless beam of light shot out from Roanna’s side, piercing through the storm of flames without any resistance and hitting Avon Jack’s body.
Due to the impact, Avon Jack began to retreat significantly, and the storm of flames was suppressed by the baptism of the five elements.
With twenty seconds left until the 5th minute, a barrage of elements began to hit Avon Jack’s body, and he tried to spew out a large flame from his body to counter the attack.
“Match is over! Chris Roanna wins!”
Before that, the referee declared Roanna’s victory and the game ended.

“Roanna, what was that at the end?”
When Roanna returned to the waiting room, Asui asked.
“Pure. It’s just pure mana.”
“Really? You used countless elements and then turned around and chose pure mana?”
“After suffering from Xian, I learned that there are times when you can be strong without mixing anything.”
Roanna looked at me with a slight smile.
“One way or another, we all improved a lot because of you.”
“It was enough stimulation.”
I felt embarrassed when Asui and Vulcan even looked at me and spoke.
“Now I’m the only one left?”
“Yes. What trouble is it that you came all the way to us?”
As she said that, Asui opened a drink left in the player’s waiting room and started drinking it.
Roanna followed Asui and Vulcan sat down.
What should I say about this feeling where no one cares whether you win or lose? It was similar yet different from a year ago.
There was a time when he didn’t care about me because he thought he would inevitably lose and be in last place, but now he seemed relaxed because he knew that I would win.
While watching the magic battle on the monitor, I heard my name being called and walked towards the stadium.
*
“This is the final match between the students of Olympus and Utopia. The player coming from Olympus this time is Julian Loa, a knight who controls the mana of light! His refreshing smile is really cool!”
Julian Loa also seemed to have memorized the location of the camera and waved his hand to those around him with a nice smile.
I felt like I was fully armed with silver shining armor, a shield, and a sword.
“The player coming from Utopia is Yu Xian, and he is said to be a master of shadows and fire. I’m looking forward to seeing what kind of fight he will have!”
I didn’t say that I had the ability to possess, but mentioned the shadows and fire that I use in battle.
I felt fortunate that there was no need to explain that it was a little different from what is commonly thought of as possession.
Julian Loa, whom I met for the first time in almost a year, approached me and said.
“Thank you for joining me on my quest.”
“Yes. If a similar type of quest comes up, we need help too.”
“If such a quest comes up, don’t hesitate to contact me.”
Julian Loa reached out his hand first, and I held his hand and moved it up and down a few times.
After shaking hands and exchanging glances, Julian Loa returned to his seat and raised his weapon.
As expected, if the opponent was holding a shield, the pressure was quite strong just by facing them.
As I raised my mana in a leisurely manner, a subtle golden light began to linger around my silver armor and body.
‘Are we on the verge of possessing divine power?’
I feel like Julian Loa’s growth has been faster than I thought, and I think I understand why the quest to spar with me came out.
It seems like you can move on to the next step if you just touch it, so maybe that’s what you’re hoping for.
‘I will do that.’
Black and white twin wheels.
It resonated by creating a ring of shadow and heat within the body.
The gong rang when a strong force began to circulate through the body.
It’s time!!!
I immediately stretched out both hands and held them together.
To Julian Loa, who is not fully focused on defense until then.
The union of black and white twin wheels, the explosion of the Yeonggeom Storm.
A gray storm full of shadow swords was launched.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-ga-gag!

“If that were the case, it would be over right away, right?”
Asui Miyama asked Vulcan Rudrik while sipping her drink.
“Yes. If I had used the Afterflame Breakthrough over there, it would have been the end right away.”
Vulcan Ludric, who sparred with Yu Xian the most and had experience with both techniques, knew that Afterflame Breakthrough was overwhelmingly stronger in destructive power.
It was difficult to block the ultra-high-speed rush, which puts all the force into a single blow, even if you knew it was being used.
It was a technique that was enough to penetrate the gap of Julian Loa, who was lax when he started to look down on Yusian.
“The way I see it, even if the opportunity arises, it will only be a storm of spirit swords. I think I’ll use the Afterflame Breakthrough last, right?”
The two people in the waiting room nodded at the words of Chris Roanna, who was sitting next to Asui Miyama.
“Ugh… Are you planning to tell me that you had several chances to defeat him? Hasn’t Fort Xian’s personality deteriorated?”
“Julian was the one who didn’t deserve Xian’s presence in class Q… Even if Xian didn’t know, it’s a fair punishment.”
Yulian Loa, the first-ranked first-year academy student with a tall appearance and fighting style called the Knight of Light, and Yusian, the overwhelming lowest-ranking first-year student with the always-dispiriting and slightly unpleasant skill of possession.
No one in class Q would have thought that in less than two years, the weak side would change to be able to manipulate the other side.
“It’s worth a quest for Julian.”
The third storm was already pouring down on the monitor.
Yu Xian has already given up his chance to defeat Julian Loa for the third time.
