It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

19. The Wizard of the Stars.

The magic of reading afterimages.

The range of magic is very narrowly limited, the visible afterimage is blurry, and the speed is arbitrary.

Therefore, Eris Betelgeuse only knew that the man in front of him wielded a sword.

I couldn’t even confirm who the sorcerer was who restored the destruction site, how many people were in the scene outside the afterimage, or what time it was.

She was only certain that the Ichimaru Shiki in front of her was a bully who bullied her classmates.

Also, the fact that she will definitely win.

It wasn’t just an idea made out of simple arrogance. At the young age of seventeen, she had already risen to the honorable level of being a ‘senior wizard’.

There were not many adults to compare with.

Not to mention, they are about the same age as they are just taking their first steps in magic.

It was the same for wizards as well as swordsmen.

It was natural to win, but rather, I had to do my best to hit it.

Yes, she had to adjust her strength.

It was a very mean bully, but I shouldn’t have killed her.

No matter how high the level, it is difficult to weaken the magic fired remotely.

For that reason, Eris Betelgeuse spread a barrier and dared to approach even though it was a surprise attack.

“Expansion.”

Brain magic.

Electric shock.

Pajik—!

A blue bud of lightning has bloomed underwater.

Originally, in the case of a normal wizard, approaching the opponent would be a very stupid choice, but there were exceptions everywhere.

An asymmetric force that rampages with one man power in war.

Battle Mage.

Also, her title as high mage made her confident in melee combat.

‘Paralyze and interrogate.’

After using her magic, Eris moved at high speed to block her sight.

Although she was right up there, her opponent showed no sign of turning his head.

Duduk-! He didn’t hold any weapon and just turned his wrist casually.

‘Caught.’

The moment I was so sure, a dagger suddenly appeared in the opponent’s hand.

A dagger as small as the palm of her hand.

What could be done in battle, the suspiciously small knife showed its meaning as soon as the mysterious man in front of him, Ichimaru Shiki, turned his head.

─It is swung around.

A foolish act of bringing metal to the thunderbolt.

But there are exceptions everywhere.

The blade, which moved twice as fast as she thought, drew a semicircle at some point.

Eris Betelgeuse opened her eyes and saw the scene in front of her.

Support positions… Lightning magic, which should have been organically connected, was split in half.

Through the electric shock that was cut to pieces like that, I could see half-open eyes and raised mouth corners as if they were laughing.

“Oops, that’s dangerous.”

Eris couldn’t get angry even though it was clear that he was sarcastic at me.

With her magic affinity high, she could see the movements of her external magic with her own two eyes.

‘…… It’s just clear-‘

Magic power rose to the dagger.

Blue magic was clearly coated along the blade of the dagger.

Sword Aura.

Like high-ranking wizards, a skill that only those selected from among swordsmen can perform.

That meant that the opponent in front of me was a monster that was not to be taken lightly.

A battle mage capable of neutralizing opponents.

The premise that had to be fulfilled collapsed from the first encounter.

…… You have to keep your distance

At the time that thought crossed my mind, a dagger was flying towards my forehead.

‘Huh?’

When I woke up, it was right in front of my eyes.

Shocked, Eris immediately ducked her head to avoid the flying dagger.

A blow she accidentally dodged, to the point that she doesn’t even know how she dodged it herself.

Realizing that she was about to die, she hurriedly set her spell in motion.

“Expansion.”

The wizard stretched out his hand. I fired a bomb at the prosecutor who tilted his head.

Punggye magic.

Air Bomb.

“──Fire!”

Kwaaang—! An air bomb exploded between the two, a wind bomb created a torrent of air.

Of course, the swordsman was blown away, but Eris herself flew backwards and increased the distance.

She started her magic again as she balanced herself in the air.

‘…… What about him?’

Then she checked the enemy’s condition.

Ichimaru Shiki, who had been spinning and flying in the air on the other side under the influence of magic, suddenly stepped on the steel frame pillar of the construction site with a chin.

The sight of standing vertically in the middle of the steel frame, ignoring gravity, was truly amazing, but I did not have time to leisurely watch it.

Quang!

Break through the steel frame.

It was a very terrifying sight to see the man flying through the air.

As a cannonball, I had physical power that I couldn’t dare ignore, but what was even more astonishing was that the small dagger was burning bright blue flames.

Blue flame.

All that seemed like shimmering flames was an ‘Aura’ of extreme skill as a swordsman.

“…… Expansion!”

First of all, I lifted myself up with the flying spell ‘Fly’.

Since then, she hastily prepared the order, and has abandoned the thought of handling it.

Pigjijik—!

A green lightning has blossomed anew.

A lightning spell that is several levels higher in the hierarchy than before.

“Chain lightning!”

Jijijijik!

The chain of electric current that was born in the air between the wizard’s hands and howled violently soon began to reach out to other places.

Teeing, teeing, teeing.

A thunderbolt started by a wizard and moved between the steel frames scattered throughout the construction site.

The movement of the current stopped for an instant, then triggered simultaneously.

Quang! A bluish electric current gushed out from all the steel frames that made up the construction site.

“Wow, interesting.”

However, the narrow-eyed man in the air still had a relaxed expression.

A chain of lightning attacks from all directions.

If it were Eris herself, she would have been able to hold out with protection magic or collide with attack magic and destroy it.

Then, in the case of a prosecutor, how do you get away with it?

She couldn’t imagine her magic breaking with a blade, even a dagger among her dogs.

It was not her own field, and it was difficult to draw her original self.

And, at this moment.

Eris Betelgeuse confirmed her correct answer.

“But, after all, I am still immature.”

Quang! The narrow-eyed man suddenly kicked the empty air.

“…… !”

Eris Betelgeuse widened her eyes.

A choice you never imagined. Therefore, the response was also delayed.

The opponent’s flight speed doubled, and the chain of current could not catch up with the target.

In an instant, the distance decreased.

Catch up Geek!

A constant barrier was deployed.

The knife that pierced through the protective film that I thought was an iron fortress like tofu stopped in front of my forehead.

Ichimaru Shiki, standing in front of her, said with a smile as usual.

“Did you die once with this?”

“…… What?”

Eris Betelgeuse blankly stared at the dagger in front of him.

What is this unreal sight?

It was an incomprehensible thing that even though he was a wizard who was searching for the truth, he didn’t want to know much about it.

‘I lost?’

A descendant of a star mage, the youngest high-ranking mage, and a great mage.

Innumerable glorious titles and honors passed through my mind.

‘I’m going to die right now?’

That can’t be.

I haven’t even started yet.

Suddenly, the blonde sorcerer, who gritted his teeth, raised the brilliance of the stars.

The immense star power of the constellation of Orion dyed the blue mana golden.

If the opponent is fast and has good skills, this side should also show off their skills.

The star wizard, Eris Betelgeuse, immediately triggered his magic.

Grab Jiji Jik—!

Brain magic.

Three shots of Chain lightning.

No window, no order.

“Oops!”

A blindingly blue thunderstorm bloomed from Eris’ whole body, and Ichimaru Shiki made a funny sound as if she was startled and opened the distance.

The prosecutor walks away on its own.

It’s certainly something to be happy about as a mage, but Eris Betelgeuse twitched her brow.

“…… You mean I looked funny?”

Eris poured the magic of the stars.

The chain of blue thunderbolts that swelled even more went beyond moving the steel frame of the construction site and stood up with its own body at will.

Kiiik, dozens of steel frames turned over in the air aimed only at one target.

“Fire!”

The wizard clasped his hand.

Kwaaang—!

The lightning strike and the steel bone exploded at the same time.

“hahahaha, I was the one who looked after you, so why am I being hated?”

Marushiki Ichi, who finally stepped on top of the precarious construction site, shrugged his shoulders.

“Well, it can’t be helped.”

He pointed the dagger in the front.

Facing dozens of ballistas (giant crossbows) reborn from modern mages.

He was still relaxed and muttered with a relaxed expression.

“Because repetitive education is what it used to be.”

Soon, electric shocks and steel bones collided, and Ichimaru Shiki swung his dagger at them all and slashed them.

Bang! Bang! Taang! Bang!

Sparks flew every time they collided, and there was the sound of bullets being fired.

Again, everything was cut at the same time.

Between the steel frame and the magic that split in half, the man’s face was visible.

“Let’s increase the difficulty instead.”

Ichimaru Shiki cut the air with a dagger.

And,

—Only then did time slow down.
