Chapter 70: He Was Very Strong
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Stephanie held the knight’s long sword in both hands and charged at Joelson.
If nothing else, the students of the Tulip Academy had a good impression of Stephanie.
After all, a tall, striking, and beautiful female knight would be welcomed anywhere.
With a light tap of his finger, just like when he had taught Hawthorne a lesson, five fire pythons shot out from his palm and pounced on Stephanie.
A silvery-white aura burst out. Stephanie raised her sword and chopped the fire pythons that were jumping up into two halves. Suddenly, she found that there seemed to be a pair of hot hands tightly clutching her ankles.
Level-5 spell, a ring of flame.
Stephanie’s ankles were tightly bound by two golden-red rings of flame.
Her feet lit up with a silvery light. She struggled to break free from the shackles of the flames, but she had lost the chance to strike first.
She was tightly bound by five giant flame pythons.
“Don’t you think...”
On the side of the Knight Academy, a Knight student who was watching the battle said with a strange expression, “The aura of the giant flame python summoned by Joelson Edward is a bit like the Asian dragon we met in the magical beast forest during the Survival Test last year?”
“Now that you mention it, it is indeed a little similar!” Someone said in surprise.
“This Joelson is too amazing. Have you guys noticed? From the beginning until now, every level-5 spell he has cast is instant cast!”
A few knights looked at each other and saw the horror in the eyes of the others.
Instant cast magic. Even as knights, they knew how difficult it was to master it.
Not to mention instant-cast level-5 magic.
Stuart, the level-6 mage who was also fighting with Stephanie yesterday, had to chant a long spell before he could cast a level-5 spell!
As for this Joelson, he raised his hand and threw it out with a tap of his finger.
What a freak!
He was a super genius who was not inferior to Don Quixote at all!
At this time, Stephanie was already very anxious on the stage.
She was in the same difficult situation as Hawthorne.
The power of Joelson’s level-5 magic was many times stronger than ordinary level-5 magic. The blazing flames on the body of the flame Python burned Stephanie’s face.
If she did not have the protection of the Silver Cross Battle Aura, she would have been roasted into a potato like Eddie Taylor and would not have been able to hold on.
Looking at Joelson again, his expression was calm.
From time to time, he would throw out a level-4 spell and a level-5 spell, causing Stephanie’s situation to become even more awkward and dangerous.
To him, this did not seem to be a duel, but rather a boring and tedious game.
Stephanie felt a trace of humiliation.
She gritted her teeth and gathered all the strength in her body.
Instantly, the silver light expanded.
She aimed at the five extremely troublesome fire pythons in front of her and slashed out a crescent-shaped battle aura blade.
“Battle aura release?!”
Someone below the stage shouted in shock.
This was something that only grand knights above tier 6 could do!
Wasn’t Stephanie only a tier 5 knight?!
Someone quickly refuted and explained, “It’s not the true release of combat aura. It’s just a part of the characteristics of the silver cross combat aura.”
But even so, it was still scary enough.
The five fire pythons were instantly cut in half from the waist.
The crescent-shaped combat aura light blade continued to maintain its speed as it shot towards Joelson.
Although the light blade was shrinking rapidly during this process, it still posed a significant threat to Joelson.
Joelson remained calm and snapped his fingers casually.
“This is impossible!”
Only then did everyone realize that the fire python that was chopped into pieces by Stephanie had not completely disappeared. The remaining flames hovered in the air like the sunset.
Under Joelson’s summon, the flames quickly gathered.
The fire elements around the duel platform were instantly sucked into an elemental vacuum!
A ferocious monster revealed its body.
“Fire... fire dragon?!”
A fire dragon that was completely formed from flames.
The fire dragon spread its wings and easily caught up with the light blade. It used its claws to extinguish the light blade.
Then, it turned around and slowly rolled in front of Stephanie.
The empty eye sockets that were burning with flames stared at Stephanie. A terrifying aura swept across the entire arena.
Stephanie’s face was pale. She wanted to raise the knight’s longsword in her hand.
However, after launching the previous attack, she had exhausted all of her strength. She could only helplessly put it down.
“I... admit defeat!”
This time, Joelson did not stop her.
A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.
This was the first time they had uttered these three words from the air of a proud knight.
This kind of feeling was really immersive!
“Joelson Edward!”
“Joelson Edward!”
The entire hall once again cheered Joelson’s name.
The cheers just now were because Joelson had vented the anger in everyone’s hearts.
And the cheers at this moment were because Joelson Edward was the hero who defended the glory and dignity of the Tulip Academy!
“He is very strong!”
Stephanie walked back to the Knight Academy and said in silence.
“She is the most terrifying level 5 mage I have ever seen. The pressure she brings to me is even greater than that of many level 7 mages.”
The knights seemed to be a little depressed.
The second genius among them, Stephanie who had cultivated the silver cross combat aura, had actually lost?!
And she had lost to a magician of the same level as her. She did not have any ability to resist and was mercilessly crushed!
If they had not seen it with their own eyes, it was really hard to imagine that this scene had really happened.
“I’ve said it before,” Engel said seriously. “Never underestimate the foundation of an academy with a saint-level magician.”
“Maybe you think they are weak.”
Engel pointed at the cheering mage students in the distance and said, “Actually, after the fifth rank, a qualified mage can defeat more than two knights of the same rank alone. The opponents you are facing now have not experienced much actual combat. Most of their time is spent accumulating magic power and improving spiritual power. That’s why we can win so easily.”
Engel was not lying.
The promotion methods of knights and mages were completely different.
The former required a lot of combat and training in order to break through quickly, while the latter required diligent meditation and accumulation of mana every day.
Mages were far more difficult to promote than knights.
Therefore, as students, the knight geniuses with a large amount of practical combat experience easily crushed the mages.
However, once the mages experienced the test of fire and blood, the explosive energy would be more than ten times that of the knights.
“Then what about Joelson?”
Someone could not help but ask.
Engel glanced in the direction of the people from the Tulip Magic Academy, shook his head helplessly and said, “He is a monster, and cannot be explained by common sense.”
