Chapter 523: Irene: Keep the noise down and don't attract other people
Rock magic, stone pillar stabbing.
This is one of Kira's signature magic spells, and its effect is similar to Natsu's "Fire Dragon's Fist". Both are used to start a battle. As the first move to start a war with the enemy, it is a tentative magic attack.
So looking through all of Kira's battle records, this move appears most frequently, but never kills a single person... After all, Kira only plays in high-end games, and a powerful magician will not be defeated by this kind of magic.
Even a harpy could dodge a probing attack like the stone pillar stab, not to mention a queen like Irene who had participated in the battle between humans and dragons and had rich combat experience.
In just a moment, Irene relied on her body's instinctive reaction to activate additional magic, adding heat to the air!
The huge magic power was used as the energy source for casting spells. In an instant, a red fire snake that was more than ten meters long and as thick as a person's embrace appeared out of thin air in a spiral form half a meter .
The fire snake was like a small sun that had changed shape, emitting terrifyingly high temperatures from head to tail. Under the influence of the high temperature, even the space it was moving in became blurred and distorted, giving people a confused visual experience that seemed slow but was actually fast.
When the fire snake was fully formed, it looked like a red shield that covered 360 degrees without any flaws or omissions, blocking all the stone pillars that were piercing forward.
The moment the stone pillars came into contact with the fire shield, the explosion and heavy blow that Kira had expected did not occur. Instead, there was no sound or trace, as if these stone pillars had originally belonged to it and disappeared without a trace like water into the sea!
This strange scene made Kira swallow his saliva to calm down.
He knew that this was the result of Irene's deliberate restraint of magic. Otherwise, with her strength, even if she only used half of her strength, the fire magic she released would be able to burn the town below her feet to ashes in an instant.
But Irene did not choose to do so. Instead, she perfectly controlled the output of her magic power, and even minimized the impact of the collision of the two magics, without even damaging the ground!
The meaning of this silent move was obvious: to show off her control over magic to Kira, and at the same time to test Kira's control over magic.
The fire shield slowly dissipated, revealing Irene's beautiful face with a hint of provocation and a half-smile inside: "This area is the most expensive land in town. It will take a lot of time and money to rebuild it. If possible, can you try not to cause too much damage?"
I have Urrutia, what should I be afraid of?
Kira complained in his heart and silently glanced at the stone pillar that was not even a piece of debris left. Irene, who was so close to the fire snake but didn't even sweat, felt the increasingly drier and hotter night air with her skin and was secretly surprised.
You know, in the use of magic, controlling energy is much more difficult than releasing energy! What's more, for Irene's magic power, it is almost impossible to control it perfectly!
But judging from what Irene had just done, it seemed like all of this was just a piece of cake for her.
That’s right, after all, climbing to the sky is not a difficult thing for her!
"I think you can afford it!" Kira said the most arrogant words in the most cowardly tone.
"Huh?! You were the one who proposed the battle, so of course you should pay for the repairs, right? And didn't you take advantage of your position to collect some money these past two days? This is a crime in the Albares Empire!"
Oops! I've been discovered!!
Kira wiped his sweat awkwardly: "Ha...haha...I've decided. After the fight, I 'll leave here right away!"
"Since you're working for Team Erin, you can't just leave as you please! Without my permission, you can't leave the Albares Empire!" Erin sneered and pressed her magic power towards Kira.
Invisible pressure fell on his shoulders, and Kira felt as if he was in a training ground with gravity dozens of times heavier than his normal gravity. His every move was severely hampered.
It is said that where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the more severe the oppression, the greater the resistance will naturally be.
The powerful magical pressure was like a stimulant shot at Kira, instantly awakening the dormant power in Kira's body. The magic power automatically started to operate, gathering into a powerful momentum that burst out and completely eliminated the gravity on his shoulders.
"Why don't you let people resign? Is this a den of bandits?"
As Kira complained, the situation in the space of dozens of meters around the two of them suddenly changed. Two equally terrifying magical powers confronted each other, constantly rubbing against each other in the small space, but not leaking out at all.
This situation is like continuously pouring water into a sealed box with openings on both sides. The barrier of the box is sealed tightly by the two people pouring water. The water flow cannot advance an inch due to the resistance on the other side. There are no vents around, while water continues to pour in from the back. As a result, the water pressure in the box becomes heavier and heavier, almost to the point of explosion!
The two of them continued to output magic power for a whole minute. The entire space was already in danger and seemed to be on the verge of exploding. At that time, these two tremendous magical powers would surely sweep across the entire town in an instant. Causing a storm would be a minor event. It would be a real tragedy if the soil was overturned, rocks were cracked, and lives were lost.
As if they realized this, the two looked at each other and tacitly reduced the magical pressure at the same time.
"It's better not to make too much noise, otherwise it will attract irrelevant people and disturb us." Irene raised her head slightly, revealing her white neck. Her originally dark pupils turned light gold under the influence of magic.
These eyes are just like Naruto's magical power...
"Don't say such misleading things! I'm just a 21-year-old kid!"
The test is over, and the next step is the formal battle.
Irene gently raised the deer antler staff in her hand, raised her hand to attack first, and the additional magic was cast instantly.
The whistling sound of the wind brought with it a wave of heat from above his head. Kira had a keen sense of perception and instantly determined that this was the result of Irene adding heat to the air above him.
When I looked up, I saw a huge fireball falling towards me.
Kira suddenly wanted to pull Natsu over for a midnight snack. This terrifying magic power, this flame that made the air sizzle, was definitely a rare taste.
But Kira was not in a hurry, his body was as steady as a rock, his lips moved slightly, and the magic of words instantly locked onto the fireball: "Freeze!"
In just a moment, the sphere in the air seemed to have suddenly changed its material game components, and the originally blazing flame skin turned into snow-colored ice skin.
The ice ball fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound, and the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.
"You said you wanted to fight less noisily, but you used this level of magic. Could it be that you are the one? If you use this move, I'm afraid we'll lose this land."
Irene's eyes fell on the ice ball on the ground, which was completely intact without even a single icy particle being shattered. After carefully sensing the magic power, her eyelids suddenly lifted: "Could this be... Word Magic?!"
"Oh?? You actually know this kind of magic?"
There was a hint of surprise in Kira's eyes, but at the same time he felt that it was as expected. Besides that, there was also a little disappointment.
Although he knew that Irene had a wealth of magical knowledge in her head because she had lived for four hundred years, Kira still had a little bit of luck.
I am a time traveler, and the word magic I use is self-awakened, and the effect is so good that it is almost at the level of "Words come true" in the fantasy novel next door.
Could it be that this magic was brought by me when I traveled through time? Could it be some kind of magic in this world that has not been recorded in history? Could it be that even Jeref, Mavis, and Irene, who are famous for their knowledge of magic, don't know my magic, and even Auguste can't copy it? ...
It's similar to how the author of the fan fiction next door arranged "special magic" for the protagonist of his novel. When Kira first awakened his magic, he often fantasized that his magic was special and unique!
Even though he grew up and became stronger, and could defeat anyone with ease, he still secretly retained this almost naive idea, because even the knowledgeable Makarov had never heard of this kind of magic before meeting Kira.
Last year on Tenrou Island, when Kira mentioned the name "Word Magic" to Zeref, the other party also acted as if he had never heard of it, which further strengthened his speculation.
However, Kira didn't expect that the magic would eventually be discovered.
After just one move, Irene mentioned the name "Word Spirit Magic". Since it was recognized, it meant that this kind of magic had been recorded before and was not exclusive to her, so she felt disappointed.
But Kira soon figured it out. Since Word Magic does not contain any plug-ins and is just ordinary magic, doesn't that mean that the truly strong one is still himself?
I am indeed a genius!
