Overpowered Archmage Doesn’t Hide His Talent

81 – Illusion Blessing.

─Phase 10 begins.

All 5 minutes given as a break had passed, and even the moment the 10th stage began, it was completely still.

I broke that silence.

“At step 10, I do not intervene at all.”

I took out the scoring sheet from my chest and slowly ran it from top to bottom.

“As soon as the total number of points deducted by you guys exceeds 100, our group will forfeit. And.”

The point is simple.

This meant that if you wanted to advance to the finals, you had to complete stage 10 while avoiding deductions.

“You have been deducted a total of 99 times so far.”

The moment I noticed that fact.

“….”

Suddenly, Ella quietly opened her mouth.

“The other three….”

“Huh?”

“Aim for the other three.”

As if she hadn’t recovered from her shock yet, her voice was hushed up.

Cassel asked.

“F-Flan?”

“Ignore the plan. I just think she doesn’t exist, and only aim for the other three.”

“Ignore him… ?”

“Ignore it if you want to ignore it! You didn’t even participate anyway!”

Ella groaned. Her trembling body seemed furious, and she seemed terrified.

“Flan. Flan…. Never mind the flan. Never mind flan….”

In the end, with Ella at the forefront, Igor and Cassel attacked the wizards except me.

“Hmm.”

I checked the time.

From noble mtl dot com

The 10th stage monster is fixed as a fantasy tree, but nothing has been revealed exactly when it will appear.

“… Not bad.”

I just took out the scoring sheet and listened.

Since we haven’t scored the ‘PvP’ part yet, this will be a great test….

◈

Kwaaang—!

Igor’s greatsword hit the ground.

At the same time, the knight clone summoned by Cassel appeared. They lunged menacingly at Becky and Louis.

The two wizards immediately spread out and escaped.

Boom—! Bang-! Bang-!

Numerous sword attacks hit the ice barrier.

“I will do the defense!”

Becky shouted, concentrating on the strength of the barrier. Lewis nodded her head and immediately counterattacked.

Lewis’ flash is fast and heavy. She calmly put the clones away one by one.

At the same time, something blue covers the entire field of view.

Hwareuk—!

Blue flames.

It swept over the knights like a wave.

Belatedly, Ella’s four swords rushed in. The speed was noticeably slow. All were easily dodged.

With a small smile on her lips, Louis looked at her three siblings.

“You guys don’t seem to be in very good shape, do you?”

Compared to when the preliminaries began, the expressions of the three siblings were noticeably different.

His self-confidence is gone, and he just looks impatient. Even the second child, Wendy, was in a state of panic and could not even participate in the battle.

“You won’t be able to break through Becky’s ice if you do it now, right?”

“….”

Despite Lewis’ apparent provocation, the three siblings only chewed their lips.

Currently, they have not been able to answer the representatives of the Faculty of Magic, neither with their voice nor with their swords in their hands.

Kung!

But then, huge tree roots began to rise from the ground.

Finally, the Witchbeast appeared. He was a giant tree, a phantom tree, reminiscent of the Great Forest’s World Tree.

At the same time, the three siblings kicked the ground again.

Lewis quickly retreated out of range, and the remaining attacks were naturally directed at Becky. Becky quickly spread the ice into a shield.

“Ohh….”

However, the defense was easier than I thought.

As Lewis said, the current three siblings couldn’t break through Becky’s ice barrier at all.

Becky murmured involuntarily.

“… Look, are you watching?”

“… ?”

“Oh, no. I’m not saying this with really bad intentions…. Whoa, whoa, wasn’t it really strong originally?”

“Uryaaa!”

Igor doubled his size and swung his greatsword. However, doing so did not change the results.

Every movement of the sword is clearly visible. Now it was quite leisurely to protect not only his body, but also the bodies of his comrades.

“Trixie!”

Exclaimed Becky excitedly.

“Attack. All you have to do is attack! I’m all defending!”

But no answer came back.

As he rolled his eyes and looked to the side, he saw Trixie just standing there blankly.

“Excuse me. What are you doing standing still? .”

Roots and swords came before the words could be finished. Cried Becky in frustration.

“Hey! Do something!”

“… Saw.”

Trixie then uttered a low tone.

At the same time, nearby mana began to glow with tremendous heat. My peripheral vision is all about to glow in a haze.

To be honest, Becky was a little taken aback.

“… Did you do that? Hey, are you mad?”

Trixie swung the flame without answering.

In front of the blue fire, the sword bounces and the root splits.

Before long, Trixie was convinced. I thought it was long at first, but it’s really certain.

Even now, even in a rapidly changing situation, when you can’t even look at the future…. Trixie could be strangely calm.

No, maybe she knows ahead of time.

“Obviously, I saw it.”

One of the many pictures I saw at the fairground Sapphore. He was the one who stood with both feet proudly in the arena of the Knights Faculty with victory in hand.

She clearly saw the scene of this moment.

And the next moment.

Anger—!

The sense of flame is more vivid than ever.

A stage that has grown even more than when training in the world of illusion. As of right now, I’m not afraid of anything….

Trixie drew in her breath slowly.

The mana from the flames was concentrated, and the girl began to wield it. With all your might.

◈

“Hmm.”

I was so absorbed in scoring that I suddenly narrowed my brows. At the same time, roots pierced the ground from behind.

Exactly!

She snapped her fingers.

The ferociously swung roots stopped.

I completely paralyzed it. The gigantic root, frozen and hardened, becomes a protective barrier in itself.

I silently resumed scoring, blocking other roots from being swayed by me.

“… It’s worth watching.”

The three wizards began fighting with great vigour. The element hits the foot knights that are manifested.

Bonus points in hit rate.

Each of them was not a fatal and strong attack, but even that was a very big blow to the current three siblings.

At the same time, giant roots raged like a whirlpool.

The three wizards quickly spread their distance.

Bonus points for dodging.

However, the knights who had to engage in close combat did not. One two three four…. All of a sudden, the roots of the three siblings were full.

Bang─ Bang─ Bang─

Fantastic Number has achieved the value of the stage. The massive Igor was eventually swept away by a single root.

After flying far and crashing into a wall, he was immediately repatriated.

Cassel struggled as well.

The alter ego was repelled by the roots that were created, and Cassel’s unique ability was virtually sealed.

Lewis penetrated the gap with an arrow of light. Blood vomited from Cassel’s mouth, and he was also sent back to the clinic.

“Haa…. Ha….”

Left alone, Ella let out a rough breath. Her blood dripped from her lower lip as she chewed on her.

Three swordsmen who lost their spirits and three wizards who rode their spirits. There was no need to argue which one had the advantage.

“….”

As if making a decision, Ella held her sword in reverse. Her hand was shaking badly.

Ella looked at me wordlessly with her eyes closed. And at the same time muttering something in her.

Fuwook─

He pierced his own wrist with his sword.

“… !”

The eyes of the three representatives of the Faculty of Magic widened.

Giving up halfway through suicide and repatriation is a clear violation of the rules, and this confirms the Magic Faculty’s victory, but now is not the time to rejoice.

Everyone’s eyes turned to the fantasy beast at once.

Kung─ Kung─ Kung─

This guy is still raising countless roots from the ground into the air.

Unless that guy is defeated, the Faculty of Magic won’t pass the preliminaries in first place.

“Well, that’s good.”

I tucked the scoring paper into my chest.

I have confirmed the performance I want to check, and I have scored everything I want to score, so I am willing to deal with fantasy numbers.

The remaining mana is insignificant.

It was natural. It wasn’t enough to intervene in the stadium’s structure, he handled Hwarang with pure flames, and even dealt with Ella’s death sword.

However.

“It is more than enough.”

I think I know why this gigantic tree was not called the World Tree and remained as a Demon Beast.

‘After all, it’s because he’s a summoned beast.’

I put my hand on the still hardened root.

The structure is clearly visible. Weaknesses, circuits, formulations, ingredients, principles…. What to do now

There was no reason to worry.

The dismantlement order was given without the slightest error.

Coo-goo-goo-goo-

In the next moment, the phantasmagoric water slowly began to scatter like particles. It turned into a glittering powder that shimmered all over the air.

Things like small jewels slowly fall.

Each and every one of these powders contain magical ingredients. Of course, it was possible to delete this too…. I left it on purpose.

It is a small reward given to those who have suffered.

Louis looked up at the sky. A smile and admiration mingled on his lips.

“… This is a fantasy blessing that I’ve only heard about, I’m not kidding.”

“….”

Trixie also looked up at the sky and was quietly sentimental. The scenery of small jewels falling down was enough to steal her attention.

Louise slowly sits down and closes her eyelids. Trixie soon fell to the floor and fell asleep as soundly as her own child.

However, I was fine.

Even if you want to be beaten, you can’t. It’s because this magic powder doesn’t exceed my mental strength.

In the midst of that, Becky moved around.

Pick, I just accepted Becky, who collapsed and leaned on me. This kind of foolishness can be counted as one deduction.

‘Then…. A total of 100 deductions?’

While I was thinking about that, the stadium regained its original shape. The ceiling was the same.

The grandstand finally revealed itself.

Thousands of pupils, only looking at me.

◈

Glittering enchanting powder fills the space.

In the scene that seemed like she was being baptized, Becky felt her mind getting hazy.

Fantastic Blessings.

I’ve heard of it.

It is said that fantasy beasts leave illusion powder behind when they fall, giving humans a blissful illusion.

There are quite a few jokes among the students that this ‘illusion blessing’ is the real reward that the winners of the preliminary round of the Punishment Festival can receive.

Soon you will become drowsy.

The intensity of falling asleep is more than I thought. It wasn’t long before it became difficult to even focus.

It’ll be fine.

I quietly closed my eyes.

Anyway, the preliminaries have ended. It’s hard to believe, but the Faculty of Magic won. So, you can rest for a bit now.

“….”

Becky’s body clenched against something.

It was something hard but also strangely reliable, so Becky opened her eyes quietly.

“… ?”

And when she realized that she was in Flan’s arms, Becky’s face hardened for a moment because it was absurd.

However, I was soon convinced.

… Yes, because this is a fantastic blessing.

The feeling of being alone with Plan, Becky felt familiar for some reason.

Sooner or later you realize why.

The moment Becky was endlessly thrown underground in the magic labyrinth, Becky was alone with Plan even then.

When I think about it now, I think it was really good.

My body doesn’t move anymore. I couldn’t open my eyes, and it was impossible to resist the drowsiness.

Becky just squeezed Flan’s collar.

Big fantasies.

At the same time.

It was a small prize given to oneself.
