52 – Collapse-4

Embarrassed, Xenia tried to regain control by constantly moving her hands.

“Wait a minute, I’ll try to do something about this!”

However, Wade did not allow her to come to her senses.

“It’s dangerous, this. Ugh…”

The tempo is different. The speed is different.

As for Xenia, it never occurred to her that she could move her magic at a faster speed than her own.

“This is…”

It is torn apart. Her magic barrier, which she thought was nearly infinite, was broken down so easily by his magic power.

It doesn’t matter if that’s all. With a magic barrier of this magnitude, she could cast it again in an instant.

For her other magicians, it was a great magic that required minimal time and chanting, but for her, who was called a genius among geniuses, it was not an impossible task.

“What…”

However, once the magic barrier was breached, his magic energy passed through the gap.

I feel dizzy. It feels like it’s shaking.

‘I’m not even a warlock… Am I this much of a threat?’

A wizard is a being who inevitably accepts, studies, and uses all kinds of power.

Although she never made a contract with the devil, Xenia also accepted a small amount of demonic energy for academic purposes.

‘Rather take it away!’

If he had just taken that power, it wouldn’t have been this confusing.

However, he took that demon energy as his own and used it only to shake Xenia’s spirit.

“Ugh, uh, ah…”

There was so much to do.

We must suppress the demonic energy that is stirring within her.

We have to block his magic coming from outside. He was shooting out demon energy from all directions, as if this black fog was his domain.

The direction of the flames she created must be adjusted. The flames must be controlled to prevent them from harming the princess.

A new magic barrier must be created, and the mass of his magic energy that is still pouring out must be pushed away.

“Ha, I can do it! I can… I can!”

However, Xenia was a person who ‘could’ do it all.

An ordinary wizard would not have been able to finish even half of the task before his magic power ran out and he would have fainted, clutching his head as if it were about to explode.

Or she would have been a little wiser than she was, and she would have given up on the ‘can’t’.

“You don’t have to overdo it, Xenia.”

The princess’s compassionate voice, in turn, touched her pride.

“No! I can win! I can win…”

Xenia’s ability to do everything, on the other hand, gave her the arrogance that she really could do everything.

If she had given up on some of the things she needed to do sooner, this wouldn’t have happened.

But she did not want to give up anything.

“uuut!!!”

I had no practical experience. Even if it existed, she couldn’t have ‘the experience of fighting a very strong warlock’ as she had not fought Katharine head-on.

“Jebaaal!!!”

Xenia searched her brain for what little time was left, but there was no hypothesis that could explain this situation.

‘How much Magi is left?’

I knew it in theory. It is said that powerful warlocks equivalent to the Demon Lord can even control the spells of wizards whose level is significantly different from their own.

But there was no way he had that much magical energy. If ‘anger’, his motivation in the first place, was the source of his power, the power he had already shown so far was at an unrealistic level.

‘But, this…!’

It’s a waste. It’s a huge waste.

Xenia also did not consume an ‘appropriate’ level of magical power to create this flame.

And now he was trying to attack her by gathering magical energy that was several times her magical energy.

‘If only we could stop that-‘

If a huge piece of ice had been dropped to lower the temperature of the atmosphere and caused a spray of water to stop the advance of the flames.

If such an attempt had been made from the beginning, this unpleasant deadlock might not have occurred.

Her actions were reflexive. She didn’t want the spell taken away, so she tried to get it back, and she thought she could get the flame back if she “Poured just a little more magic,” So she cast the spell.

And the price was a terribly bad situation.

“Didn’t you say it was okay?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry…!”

It was unstable. It was impossible to conclude that the fire was dangerous, and it was impossible to rush the princess believing that it was safe.

One woman is disturbing the princess. Xenia couldn’t bear it.

“I can do it. I can do it. I can do it…!”

The thought that she just needed to push a little more filled Xenia’s head.

The belief that his demonic energy could not be infinite and the conviction that he could not lose dominated Xenia.

“Oh?”

However, her extremely common sense thoughts did not match reality. It was a wrong judgment.

Xenia, who had stretched both her brain and her magical powers beyond their limits, collapsed like a doll whose strings had been cut.

/////

“Wade… You’re sharp. It was a great fight.”

The princess applauded and praised the mythical fight between me and Xenia.

“Are you also complimenting me?”

“Yes. It was such a great fight that I didn’t want to interfere.”

If it had been a real fight, the princess would have forced Xenia to come to her senses and stop her pointless struggle for power.

Xenia’s flame was certainly strong and dangerous, but it was not strong enough to instantly burn the body of the princess, clad in her armor and clad in her magic.

“It doesn’t mean I looked after you. But there’s a lot at stake for me. I can’t be satisfied with victory.”

But then, it becomes ‘scorched’.

Even if it was Xenia’s attack, it was not very pleasant to see her clothes become dirty and her face burnt.

“I am the princess. I must always be flawless, in perfect condition, and win overwhelmingly.”

Wade is already a hero at the academy. However, the only people who have seen how strong he is are Xenia and the princess who are now in front of him.

If she is defeated by Wade, people outside the academy will think that the princess has become weak instead of acknowledging Wade.

“Others may fall, but there shouldn’t be even a single hair-sized wound on my body.”

To the point where I can’t even think that Wade won an equal fight with the princess, and to the point where I don’t even feel like he’s defeated her.

The difference in strength is so great that measuring her strength through this fight itself is deemed meaningless.

Only such a victory was the victory that Yurishia wanted.

“But, I will admit it. You dug into Xenia’s weaknesses without mercy.”

“Because I lack practical experience.”

Inside a well-controlled laboratory, she always used perfect spells.

A wizard on the battlefield had to be able to use spells even if they were a bit distorted. He had to either pour out attack spells at the risk of having his defensive wall broken, or keep himself intact even if it meant giving time to the enemy.

You have to choose. Many events could occur on the battlefield, so the wizard had to decide which of them was the most important.

Although Xenia was certainly a capable wizard, she lacked her experience in that field.

“However, this may be the only time I can defeat her with this method of hers. You are her sharp friend, so I’m sure she will soon get through this with her wits.”

“I agree.”

Although she had her mistakes, Xenia’s talent could not be ignored.

She was a wizard from her birth. She will overcome this level of weakness and return at any time, if given enough time to prepare.

But, not now.

“However, I tell you in advance… I will not be defeated by such clever tricks.”

“Yes. I have prepared another method.”

“I’m curious. I’m looking forward to it.”

Yurishia smiled brightly and sincerely.

“That Wade… Is a warlock who is stronger than Katarin but also holds pride in his heart. The warlock who uncovered Khazot’s plot and defeated an instructor-level swordsman…”

I felt a little sorry. My strategy wasn’t that great.

“For me. What is the strategy you have prepared just to defeat me? What are the moves you have made with the sincere determination to defeat me…?”

It was not that her curiosity was not understood.

To date, there are very few people who know her ‘weakness’.

Even if there are people who know about the incident itself, no one knows how the princess perceives the incident.

Even if someone who knows it appears, she will not be strong enough to deal her blow to the princess.

‘I’m sure I’ll hate this once it’s successful, but…’

Yurishia was mistaken.

Since she was doing hand-offs at a level ‘suitable for a tournament,’ I naturally believed that I would also be doing hand-offs at that level.

Or, I was letting my guard down. I had no doubt that no matter what I did, I wouldn’t be able to give her the blow.

“I’m going.”

“…Ugh!”

There was no difficult smile on Yurishia’s mouth. The corners of her mouth were clearly trembling, but she could not hide her pain.

“Is this… Everything?”

Mobilize all of her magical power and disturb her magical power that protects her. Make a hole in her head.

“I don’t think you can move even one step?”

For an ordinary person, the pressure is such that it wouldn’t be surprising if they lost their senses and collapsed. It’s that much pain.

But the princess can bear it.

“I know. All I can do with this is show one or two meaningless illusions.”

Her thoughts were not wrong. However, this is not a meaningless prank.

“So, let me ask you one question.”

The information has been secured. She is not the only person who remembers the ‘incident’ committed by the princess.

-Why did you kill him?

The little boy’s voice became an illusion and echoed in her brain.

A flawless female knight, the pride of the imperial family, a symbol of honor.

Armidion Yuri Sia fell down with her legs giving out.
