Chapter 524: Kira and Irene's outdoor battle
"This is the first time I've met someone who knows Word Magic."
Kira was somewhat curious about the fact that Irene could recognize Word Magic. "Have you heard of it before?"
"Of course! Word magic is a type of 'lost magic'."
The lips with pink lipstick sparkled in the moonlight, which had a special appeal to a young and vigorous boy like Kira. But...
Kira didn’t know if it was the moon’s fault, but he suddenly felt that Irene’s eyes looking at him became a little strange.
"Lost magic?!" Kira murmured to himself, repeating Irene's words, his mind full of doubts.
How disappointed was he? Even Jellal had never heard of it? No, it might be because this kind of magic was eliminated by the times, so it didn't catch the eye of this great genius.
Irene talked eloquently, constantly telling Kira some little-known stories: "Legend has it that in the distant past, when even the concept and system of 'magic' had not yet been fully perfected, some humans were able to communicate with 'gods' and use their 'divine power'."
"Scholars of later generations all agree that the so-called 'divine power' refers to magic; but there are different opinions on their means of 'communication'."
Kira's eyes suddenly lit up: "Ohhhh??!! Could it be that this method is Word Spirit Magic?!!!"
Irene did not answer and continued, "Hundreds of years ago, influenced by the saying that 'all magic originated from one magic', a group of scholars studying magic proposed a hypothesis."
"[Whether it is the mainstream writing system of the four continents, or the runes used to write rituals, they all originated from the same magic]."
"Later, this hypothesis was somehow connected to the story of 'communicating with gods', and scholars immediately connected this 'magic of the origin of writing' and 'a means of communicating with gods' together, and gave it a name."
"That's 'Word Magic'!"
Kira's eyes lit up again: "Ohhhh??!! So, isn't 'Word Magic' the prototype of all current text magic?!!"
"Idiot! Didn't you understand?!" Irene seemed very unhappy about being interrupted and cursed softly, "What I mean is that the so-called 'Word Magic' does not exist in essence!"
"Hmm...but I think what the scholars say makes sense!"
Kira narrowed his eyes and whispered back, "The humans in the story are communicating with the gods, but the only means of communication they can use are speaking and writing, which correspond to language and writing... "
"It seems that what I said is reasonable!"
etc!
At this moment, Kira suddenly had an idea and thought of the 'Curse of Anxelram'. Could it be that, or that was also the so-called means of 'communicating with the gods'?
"Let's stop here for the small talk!"
Before Kira could think about it, Irene suddenly took action again. This time, she did not use magic like fireball, which was large in size and easily restrained, but instead attached an effect to the ice ball that had just fallen.
Under the cover of magic power, the ice ball quickly deformed and turned into several ice chains that broke through the air towards Kira.
Whoosh! Whoosh! …
The sounds of breaking air occurred simultaneously, and the ice chains were around Kira in the blink of an eye, either left or right, up or down, as if to tie up Kira's neck, arms, feet, and entire body.
"What a familiar magic... Isn't this my favorite trick?" Kira's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but complain.
Then he spread his arms, and powerful and fine shattering magic burst out from all over his body, breaking all the oncoming ice chains into tiny ice crystals that were too tiny to be seen with the naked eye!
The disorderly scattered ice crystals float in the air, reflecting the bright moonlight in the sky, like silver-white fireflies.
"Crushing magic? Is this the third type of magic you've used?"
Even Irene couldn't help but marvel at Kira's talent. "You are truly talented to be able to practice three completely unrelated magics to this level at the same time!"
"Thank you for the compliment! I deserve it!"
You deserve it! Aren’t you lazy and gluttonous every day?
The deer antler magic wand turned slightly, and Irene attacked again, this time targeting the ice crystals floating around Kira.
Additional... Explosion!
Boom! Boom! Boom! …
Just as Kira used magic to crush and cut out as many ice crystals as he had just done, he would now have to face as many explosions as he had to deal with. The explosions continued one after another, and Kira's figure was gradually engulfed by smoke and energy.
Not far away, Irene had nothing to do, so she started casting spells on the air to strengthen the sound insulation and shockproof effects of this space.
It was not until a minute later that the explosions gradually stopped, and the moonlight lifted the curtain of smoke and dust, revealing the scene in the middle.
Irene withdrew her gaze, but saw that Kira was still as still as a green mountain. Three feet away from him, there was a pale white, glass-like spherical barrier that blocked all attacks and prevented them from advancing.
"Is this the fourth kind of magic?"
Her tone was calm, and it was obvious that Irene was not at all surprised by Kira's ability to block the explosion.
"Ah, no! This is just one of the effects of Word Magic, a defensive barrier."
Kira shook his head and explained, "As long as it's here, basically no attack can hurt me!"
Can't hurt you? Then try it!
Without further words, Irene raised her hand to attack again, pointing the top of the magic wand in front of Kira. The magic power easily crossed the space of more than ten meters and created a red ball of light at the target location.
Holy Light Shock!!
The ball of light expanded instantly, and Kira could clearly feel the tremendous demonic power and ultra-high heat energy coming from it. He knew that if it was allowed to explode, the barrier could withstand the frontal impact, but the land beneath his feet would be destroyed.
Who was it that said to keep quiet just now? ! This guy really has the potential to join Fairy Tail! !
From the very beginning, the duel between Kira and Irene was not the barbarian fighting style of the guild with fists and fists, but a standing battle, comparing casting speed, control of magic power, and of course, the most important thing, the strength of magic.
This is the kind of battle a wizard should be in!!!
Kira and Irene both pay attention to their image, so asking them to fight in close combat would be ungraceful.
As a star wizard known throughout the country, Kira has always paid great attention to fertility... No, it's a reputation issue. It's okay for a tall and strong man like him to fight with a lady in scantily clad clothes and high-heeled boots in the wild at night, but if he gets in close combat with her, it's really hard to explain!
It damages your own reputation!
Besides, Irene has the two buffs of hidden dragon scales and thick fat, and Kira can't break her defense with his fists and feet. He would not humiliate himself!
Seeing the red ball of light getting bigger and bigger, Kira no longer hesitated and attacked directly: "Dark Water!"
A black substance of unknown composition gushed out from under Kira's feet like a fountain. Under the control of his mental power, Kira's magic power quickly wrapped around the red ball of light and then began to squeeze inward.
This outer shell composed of black matter seemed to be connected to a bottomless black hole. As it gradually eroded the red light ball, it absorbed all the energy, devouring it completely without leaving any trace of magic power.
This time, before Irene could ask, Kira explained: "This is also one of the effects of Word Magic!"
"But this move should actually be classified as dark magic! This is a defensive dark magic, and then..."
"This is offensive!"
As Kira finished speaking, a pitch-black rope broke out of the ground at Irene's feet. Part of it formed a black net on her sides and behind, and part of it shot towards her face, wrists, and ankles.
These ropes had been lurking in the shadows of the clouds or beneath the ground, waiting to be unleashed, just to capture Irene in the net at this moment.
This is giving someone a taste of their own medicine!
