NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
Chapter 21: Close Combat Sorcerer
Alice hadn’t expected that Linley Bart was proficient in using fire magic!
Not only was he good at spiritual magic, but he was also good at fire magic!
Fire magic could be said to be the most common among sorcerers because fire magic was easy to learn. However, it was very difficult to master it.
This was because the higher the level of fire magic, the harder it was to stabilize the fire element. The fire element itself was harder to control and stabilize than any other elements. Even a Holy Magister could not be certain that he could completely control the fire element.
There were too many uncertainties about the fire element. Sometimes, it was very easy to control but sometimes, it was extremely volatile.
Therefore, there were many basic fire magic sorcerers but very few advanced fire magic sorcerers.
But Linley Bart was completely different. When he used fire magic, all of the fire magical elements were tightly grouped, just a general commanding a tight-knit army.
There was no trace of instability.
In Linley’s hands, the fire magic elements were completely under Linley’s control.
Therefore, the Flaming Storm displayed a power that far exceeded its original level!
At that moment, the flames on the magic dueling arena had turned into lava. The place which was originally filled with snow and ice had been completely changed after Linley Bart had cast the Flaming Storm.
The ice quickly melted, turning into white vapor before rising into the sky.
Although hail continued to fall to the ground, it could not extinguish the raging fire.
The red flames were gradually covering the entire magic arena, and the magic power of the ice element was slowly decreasing.
Anyone could tell that Linley’s Flaming Storm was far superior.
Although the two spells seemed to be evenly matched and seemed to be in a stalemate, one must not forget that the Flaming Storm was originally ignited within the World Of Ice and Snow.
The level of difficulty for doing this was extremely high. If it had been an ordinary sorcerer, they might not even be able to use magic in the World Of Ice and Snow.
Not only had Linley Bart used fire magic, but he had also even completely melted away the ice magic that was originally overpowering in the arena.
Fire magic occupied the ground while the ice magic occupied the sky.
However, experienced sorcerers could tell that Alice’s magic power was gradually weakening.
If this continued, Linley Bart would be able to easily win.
Alice also understood this. She understood her current situation better than anyone else.
She could already feel that her control over magic was gradually decreasing and her magic power was depleting rapidly.
Linley Bart, on the other hand, was as stable as ever. His magic power was still surging and it didn’t seem to be weakening at all.
The raging flames were about to even force Alice out of the arena.
However, Alice was unwilling to fail. She did not want to lose.
She wanted to win. She wanted to keep winning. She wanted to defeat everyone!
Her eyes were fiery and her long golden hair was floating in the air. The surging flames were closing in on her as if they were gradually devouring her.
The snow in the sky also stopped. Alice’s magic had lost!
Her World Of Ice and Snow hadn’t been able to cover Linley’s Flaming Storm.
This was her defeat. However, she had already done her best.
But Alice couldn’t accept that Linley managed to defeat her in such a relaxed manner.
She had always thought of herself as a genius at using magic. How could she be willing to lose this match?
Alice closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
She still had one last move. She had planned to hide it and only use it at the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition. She did not want to expose her full strength so quickly.
However, Linley was simply too powerful. If she didn’t use this technique right now, she definitely wouldn’t be able to win.
If Alice lost this match, there was a chance that she might become a substitute member.
This was something that she could not accept.
It wasn’t easy for her to get to where she was now and gain the recognition of others.
She could win this match. She wanted to win everything.
This victory was right in front of her.
She would not allow herself to fail.
The Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition was held only once every five years, and there were a total of six grades in the sorcery academy. The best geniuses could even cross a grade every year.
If she lost this match, she might very well lose this opportunity to show her talent at the Five Great Sorcery Academy Competition.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for every sorcerer. No one would want to lose such a chance!
Alice dropped her wand.
The audience below the stage was somewhat surprised. This was because throwing down one’s own wand on the magic arena was equivalent to admitting defeat. It was equivalent to throwing down one’s own weapon.
The other party could not hurt a sorcerer who had thrown her weapon away.
But just as the teacher was about to end the match, Alice did something that shocked everyone.
She bit her finger and blood started oozing out from the wound. She then drew a magic array in the air with her blood.
Many teachers were surprised. This was a summoning magic array…
A third-grade student actually knew such a magic array! This should be something that could only be learned at a higher grade.
Alice was a magic genius. She had already learned advanced magic spells beyond her grade!
In the magic array, a black hilt gradually appeared!
It was a blade!
It was a long, thin blade that was covered in frost.
The moment the blade appeared, the surrounding flames disappeared, leaving only cold frost surrounding Alice.
Alice then pulled out a long blade from the void!
This was a sorcery academy. Even Alice’s mentor did not expect her to pull out a blade on the competition arena.
Only the principal on the spectator stands understood. “She’s a close combat sorcerer!”
Close combat sorcerer! It was a profession where one used elemental magic to strengthen oneself or one’s weapons. They were known to be able to use both magic and weaponry
However, because close combat sorcerers needed to practice magic and martial arts at the same time, it was a very difficult profession.
Most people would choose to be proficient in martial arts or magic.
However, as the ultimate profession in fighting, a close combat sorcerer was always the best choice for someone proficient in both magic and weaponry!
The moment Alice obtained the ice blade, her strength erupted once again. This was Alice’s true strength!
