Chapter 36

“Get down from there, idiot!” Relin suddenly shouted, using more abusive language than Deculein. His reddened face was about to burst.

“Calm down, Professor Relin.”

“What? O-oh… But…”

Deculein calmed Relin down himself, then walked slowly and stood in front of Epherene.

“… I can, right?” She had lost her rationality, but Epherene still had doubts in her voice.

“I said you could choose anyone in here. I didn’t impose any limits.” Deculein shot his cane at the ground.

Thud—!

The thundering echo and shockwave disheveled Epherene’s hair.

“However, I need to put myself in an appropriate disadvantageous condition. I won’t attack you, and if this cane falls to the ground, it will be your victory.”

“… Okay.” Epherene clenched her fist as she nodded.

Deculein stood on the opposite side of her. She could feel her heart beating like crazy.

Regardless, for her, this was a moment of hope. It was as if the day she had been dreaming of had finally come.

“Hooooo…” After taking a deep breath, she first imbued mana on her bracelet.

“Begin.” gusts of wind enveloped Deculein’s body.

Acceleration. Pure elemental magic could also be used for accumulating and accepting elements of the wind.

People were often mistaken that Acceleration worked only on the movements of one’s body. However, it could also affect the speed of magic. The gap between firing magic could be shortened through it.

“…”

Epherene finished warming up silently.

A battle between wizards was usually no different from a battle between attributes. Each person charged into battle with the element appropriate for their abilities or for countering their opponent.

But Epherene didn’t need to do that.

Her attribute was a vessel and not an element. Her bracelet itself was her attribute.

It served as a ‘catalyst’ that commanded magic, allowing all four elements to be used without penalizing her or reducing her performance.

“Huph!”

Epherene conjured flames by casting [Wind of Fire], an intermediate class magic. She then let it run wild around Deculein, trapping him in the scorching currents so thick he could no longer be seen.

She then added earth properties to the flame, dropping particles of coal that amplified the flames and generated a high concentration of oxygen inside.
