Chapter 149 Chase
Little Star Gate High School,
Frank Lambert took the initiative to attack. He gripped the spear in his hand tightly and dashed towards Victoria all of a sudden. He believes that with his speed he can surprise her.
When it happens, he can easily escape from her ice-attributed attacks. So, before testing his own limits, he didn't plan on using the spell right away.
At the same time, Victoria didn't even blink an eye. Seeing that the opponent was coming at her directly. She held the ice sword in her hand and waited for any opportunity to attack.
Seeing Frank's impatient behaviour, Victoria believes that he will soon reveal his flaw. In her opinion, it's best to end the duel as soon as possible.
She doesn't want her tactics to be understood by Brent Dale and Danny Quinn. The less she exposes her strength, the greater the reward she can reap later.
Her eyes observed Frank's movement. Frank made a straight dash towards her at full speed. But his speed of movement is somewhat slow in her eyes.
Victoria immediately realised that Frank's speed was not up to the mark.
When Frank reached closer to her, He used his silver spear to attack her. The spear's pointy triangular edge was directly aimed at her abdomen.
It all happened in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Victoria was standing like a statue, Frank, released the spear with full strength. At this distance, it's impossible for her to escape unscathed.
Victoria easily read his thoughts. "I'll make him realise it's too early for him to challenge me," she thought to herself.
"Whizzzz," the spear's triangular edge tore through the empty air.
When the spear was one step away from her Victoria suddenly made a movement.
First, she sidestepped to evade the triangular edge of the spear. Second, she made a strong vertical slash at him.
When she made a slash, an icy cold arc went towards Frank.
Frank's expression condensed when his attack hit the empty air. "Her speed?" "Frank said in his heart." When he wanted to retreat, she already made a counter attack.
His face turned ugly. The distance between them was not enough to evade the attack. "Spear Break," Frank immediately used his defence spell.
A silver defense ball completely envelopes him, when the icy cold attack strikes the ball.
"Boom," a small deafening sound resonates in the area.
The atatack was completely deflected by the transparent defence ball. Using this opportunity, Frank immediately leaped backwards to get back to his previous position.
A slight glint flashes in Victoria's eyes. She didn't expect him to reveal his cards sooner.
But she is glad that the duel's result can be decided by one or two moves.
Outside,
Seeing her make a timely counter attack, the crowd burst into a loud cheer.
"Victoria" "Victoria"
The wizard students chanted her name in joy. Victoria's poise and elegant counterattack attracted everyone's attention.
When she made an effortless icy cold attack without any spell, everyone realised it was the power of her ice-attributed weapon.
After seeing her ice sword's power, most of the people already predicted the result of the duel.
In particular, the teachers with discerning eyes saw the difference between them.
Guest Room-North End,
"I guess we already know the result of this duel," Ms. Rivers said with a smile.
Ms. River knew that the future prospects for Victoria Shields were extremely high.
"Magic Swordsman," she uttered while recalling their predecessors.
Hearing that, Mr. Eric Wallace let out a small laugh, "Ha... Ha... Ha..."
"Our Red City is extremely fortunate to have her," Mr. Eric, unknowingly, revealed some information from his mouth.
Ms. Rivers' eyes lit up with surprise. "What does he mean by that?" She thought to herself.
The Magic Swordsman were highly sought after by every organisation around the world. They are even more sought after if they have rare elemental attributes.
She already wanted to know about Victoria's affiliation. Victoria is a senior student. It will be a matter of time before she graduates from this school. Maybe Victoria is already admitted into some powerful organization.
Ms. Rivers' inner curiosity was piqued. Information about Wizard Students' organisation is confidential. Unless the wizard students reveal it voluntarily, It's impossible for others to know about it.
The other classroom teachers in this room also lost interest in this match. After seeing Victoria's ability, everyone knew there was no suspense in this match.
"Mr. Eric, students in your class are truly dragons among others," one of the fellow class teachers said with envy.
How prestigious is it to teach these elite wizards' classes? Many of them guessed one thing, especially after seeing Victoria's abilities. Mr. Eric will make stronger connections because of his students.
"Harumph," Mr. Eric Wallace said, with a cold snort in his heart. He knew what was cooking in everyone's mind. He only knew himself and how hard he worked to reach this position.
So Mr. Eric didn't mind their attitudes. But on the other hand, he is impressed by Victoria's progression. Last time, she didn't release that mana attack quickly.
To use the mana attack effortlessly, she must have put a huge effort behind this. For reasons, he immediately thought of something. He feels she will soon pose a challenge to the second strongest wizard.
A flicker of interest flashes in his eyes. He knew the top 2 wizards in his class rarely made a move. Both of them were in different worlds compared to other wizards.
But what's more strange is: Mr. Eric has not seen much rivalry between them. He hopes to see a duel between these two before their graduation.
…
Bellbrook City,
Wizard Billy decided to return back to the branch office after investigating the last hideout. There are still some suspicious areas in this city. Yet he didn't have any time for that.
Just as he was moving towards the branch office, he thought about the other two teams. Without much thought, he opened the chat server to view.
His expression changed drastically after reading the message. He typed the reply to everyone. Wizard Billy also advised Ms. Eva and her team members, he wanted them to stay back in the branch office; he would head there to protect Alan's team.
Jimmy Herman's message made him realise one important thing. Someone is targeting Tyler Dixon's team. Who could it be other than Leon Willy?
"Tck, I downplayed his hatred towards Tyler Dixon's team," Wizard Billy said to himself.
He should have expected this, but due to unclear information from the anonymous sender, He couldn't confirm Leon Willy's existence in this city.
"Sighs," he sighed internally. Then,
without thinking much further, he flew towards the location at breakneck speed.
Alternatively,
Alan Pitts feels unbelievable at first, but he has the utmost trust in Jimmy Herman.
Since such a dangerous intent was coming towards them, Alan didn't hesitate to make some decisions.
Together with him, everyone used their mana to flee from this place. In order to keep up with others, Alan didn't use his extreme speed.
At the same time, Leon Willy, who had covered himself in a dark robe, noticed that prey were fleeing from the place all of a sudden.
Next, he didn't even hesitate to release his mana.
The surrounding areas were turned upside down due to his mucus magic. Ordinary people walking down the street quickly turned to smoke.
The situation was the same with any living thing near Leon Willy.
Death and decay follow along the way. Within a couple of seconds, his level-4 Mucus mana quickly spreads around the area. Half of the residents living in these surroundings turn to corpses.
Leon Willy quickly caught up with them. While Tyler Dixon's team is using every bit of energy to flee, he is just casually taking steps to cover up the large distance.
This was quickly noticed by Alan and his team members. "Fu*k!" "Alan, he uttered in desperation.
Alan initially thought it was just speculation, but now that he knows it's true, he's changed his mind. Then he knew it was a futile struggle to escape from the level-4 Wizard.
Images of Captain Tyler Dixon flash before his eyes.
"The cure!" Alan said in his heart. At the same time, as a responsible leader at this time, he needs to come up with some solution.
Then, without hesitation, he ordered his team members to flee without turning back. Alan told them he would escape using extreme speed magic.
After everyone agrees to this, Alan takes out a Grade-3 artifact from his storage bracelet. It's a flame explosion artifact.
After signalling his team members, he turned back to face Leon Willy.
He activated his extreme speed to face the level-4 wizard.
"Boom," a sonic boom resonates throughout the area.
The aftermath swept away the nearby building.
Alan Pitts dashed towards Leon Willy with breakneck speed. In one hand, he held the flame artifact for timely use. His mind is only occupied with timing.
Alan wants to activate the flame artifact after nearing Leon Willy's body. As a Vice Captain before, he had read some information about Level-4 Wizard Leon Willy.
Alan knew the opponent had an extremely weak body, as long as he succeeded in getting the enemy injured. His team will successfully escape from his hands.
