66 – Leap

“Academy 1st year kills the mage master…. Is it arrogance or confidence?”

Tarantra glared at me with her sneer. Her skin was prickled by her magical gaze.

“There is no way your spear will reach me.”

Magic power surges through blood vessels as if exploding. No matter what Tarantra says, I have already recognized spatial coordinates.

Magic power is amplified, and even the speed of implementing magic has been increased. Having created the entrance and exit of the dimension to the extent that it seems to have been made almost simultaneously, I stabbed the spear right away.

Quaaang–!

The spear of destruction aimed at Tarantra’s back was pushed back with a roar by an invisible, intangible force, and came out again through the entrance.

At the same time, I felt an intense force of magic behind me.

As soon as he turned his head, the magic that flew in unexpectedly created a new entrance right in front of his eyes and attacked Tarantra in reverse.

While Tarantra disappeared between the shock wave and the dust, mercenaries appeared from all over town and began to surround me.

Bloodstains on the clothes and swords of the mercenaries. And judging from the screams that were heard, it seemed that everyone in the village had been killed to silence them.

“Kill.”

At the sound of Tarantra’s voice, someone unexpectedly rushed at me.

I immediately used dimensional magic and pierced the back of the head of the attacker. The mercenary collapsed forward without screaming just as he was running.

“Wizard! Run together!”

At the cry of the leader, I looked around.

Twenty seems like a good number. Some of them were carrying crossbows.

The man with the greatsword charged at him with fierce force.

But I didn’t grant access. Just by stabbing the spear forward while standing there, the guy’s head exploded and thick blood splattered.

Shyyiik-!

A bolt flew aiming at the defenseless back, but I was expecting an attack aimed at the back.

The bolt that was aiming for my back came out in front of me through the dimensional exit as if it were penetrating it, and got stuck in the neck of another guy who was charging at me.

Even so, the number of people rushing towards me did not decrease. Rather, he seemed to think that the death of his colleague was an opportunity, and he confined me as if hunting a sheepdog.

It was the first time I had killed a person, and the people who were targeting me drew their weapons and rushed at me. My reason was in a state where I was not governed by any emotions.

As long as Indomitable Courage is active, I cannot lose my rational judgment under any circumstances.

A fleeting moment. All spatial coordinates within 50M were recognized.

The heads of the approaching mercenaries exploded one by one as a series of attacks emanated from unexpected angles in connection with space magic.

“Aagh!”

“Keah!!!”

Let’s break the heads of the approaching guys as if grinding them with a blender. The leader of the mercenaries hurriedly shouted.

“f*ck… ! Back off!!!”

With a look of relief at the leader’s words, the mercenaries stopped running at me like moths, and this time I rushed at them from my side.

Like a scarecrow standing still with a spear, the spear of destruction was pierced into the back of the head with space magic created in an instant, causing the skull to burst and the brain to flow.

“How can I stop this crazy magic….”

Even though it is far away, it can attack anywhere you want, such as the neck, chest, etc., Regardless of distance.

The mercenaries couldn’t see the change in attack, and their heads exploded. Vital points were pierced and he died.

“Tarantra!!! Help us alone… !”

In spite of the leader’s urgent cry, Tarantra disappeared somewhere and did not show up.

The guy who was shooting the crossbow exploded in the head, and the guy who wielded the sword suddenly appeared from the side and the sword he wielded reflected the attack and cut his neck with the sword he wielded.

“Tarantra!!!”

I slashed the spear of destruction between the brows of the mercenary leader who was screaming in fear.

“Hey… run away! It’s the devil That guy is a demon… !”

“Ahhh… !”

With a scream, several dropped their weapons and began to leave the battlefield.

When you are not chasing the fleeing mercenary and are wary of the hidden Tarantra. A tree that grew from under the feet of the fleeing mercenaries pierced their bodies.

“Ugh uh uh….”

A mercenary whose body had been pierced let out a small moan and lowered his head.

“Awesome. It was garbage to be sorted out after work anyway, but I thought it wouldn’t be easy for you.”

Tarantra appeared through the trees and smiled.

“It’s a very unusual magic. I’ve never heard of any kind of magic that uses dimensions….”

With a greedy expression on his face, Tarantra pointed his wand at me.

“I have to thank Lawton. I never thought I would prepare such an unexpected gift.”

Quaaa!

Just as I was about to finish my words, the ground around me surged high and attacked me. With a roar, dust and shockwaves poured down on the spot where I was standing, but I was already using space magic to get out of my seat and run towards Tarantra.

The green ring that appeared along with the green light tried to bind my body, but I swung the spear to dissipate the magic and immediately closed the distance.

A huge tree root tried to restrain my movements, but it jumped into the air and slashed a spear at Tarantra.

Pushuuu!

A flower that grew bigger than a person grew in an instant, and spurted out a suspicious pink powder while blocking the attack.

As I held my breath and stepped back, a tremendous amount of magic power rose from the ground.

Roll your body forward and use space magic to get out of your seat. A huge, withered tree broke through the floor I was standing on and grew furiously.

I increased my mana through mana amplification, but I had to manage my mana slowly because I had to move my body several times.

“Whoa.”

I sighed and at the same time, trying not to give myself time to rest, tree roots rushed towards me.

As I was cutting them off, Tarantra’s green flash hit the withered tree.

Koo-gu-gu-goo–!

The ground vibrates, and something rumbles from deep below.

The withered gray tree gradually regained vitality, and in an instant it began to bear fruit and spit out round seeds.

“Get crushed and die.”

Tarantra’s voice contains magic. There was an illusion of ringing in my head.

The seeds that fell from the air began to germinate in an instant, and even though there was no soil, they spread their roots in the air. The roots caught the trunk of the tree and began to fall to the ground like a meteorite.

Avoid the trees that fill the sky. There was nowhere to run. That’s why, rather, I rushed towards Tarantra.

In an attempt to block access, tree roots sprouted from the ground, but they were all annihilated by the power of destruction.

He gave strong power to his left foot as he stepped forward, and swung his spear at Tarantra as he rotated his body.

Trees growing under the ground tried to block the spear, but the spear blade, filled with the power of destruction, slashed them all in one blow, cutting off Tarantra’s neck neatly.

At the same time, the trees that fell toward the ground created a shock wave with a huge roar. I tried to hold on to the spear, but I was thrown out.

“Cool-!”

A clot of blood came out of his mouth as he coughed. Wiping the blood from my mouth, I struggled to stand on the spear of destruction.

As I was about to smile at the thought of successfully avenging Lawton, something pierced my thigh.

“…… Ugh!”

As I endured almost collapsing from the sudden intense pain, I checked the tree branch stuck in my thigh.

At the same time, the tree branches rushing at me like arrows. I made a dimensional entrance in front of me and sent everyone to another place.

Ignoring the throbbing pain in my thigh, I once again dodged the roots of the trees rising from the floor. An attack with exquisite timing that disrupts breathing.

‘I must have cut my throat….’

There was little chance that Tarantra could withstand the blow that even used the power of destruction. Then, what I cut out was not the real body, but a fake.

I continued to extinguish Tarantra’s magic with the power of destruction, but I was being pushed back little by little.

Insufficient stamina and unreasonable mana have reached their limits.

So, Tarantula skillfully attacked without giving him a chance to rest. Forcibly controlling my movements, forcing me to consume my mana.

After confirming how I fight with the death of the mercenary, Tarantra hides in the dark and waits with a spider web until his prey loses power.

“I would have told you. Your spear will never reach me.”

I gnashed my teeth at those words. If she continues to be dragged around like this, she will end up in a situation that Tarantra wants.

I was no longer conscious of my regular breathing. I took a deep breath and ran towards the place where the magic power was rising.

I gathered all the magic power left in my body and concentrated on the attack. The blood vessels of the whole body were infested with mana.

Slipping, dodging tree roots rushing to blow her head off. I ran towards the withered gray tree.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but the center of rising magic was there.

Kwa-kwa-kwa-!

The ground he was stepping on soared, and he lost his balance in an instant.

f*ck! A giant tree root slashed my back in the air with spine-shattering momentum.

Blood gushed out. As I was blown away by the impact, a huge tree root slammed down to explode my body.

Quaaang-!

With space magic, I got out of the attack’s trajectory and twisted my body to avoid the subsequent attack.

‘The difference is too great.’

I already knew that the difference between an academy first year student and a mage tower owner was vast. However, I had the space magic and the spear of destruction, so I had hope that even the owner of the Mage Tower could be killed if the attack succeeded just once.

But as if Tarantra had read my thoughts, he hid himself and dealt with me with magic.

It reads the fighting method of one-hit kills, and draws strength from places where one blow can’t reach.

A tree branch was stuck in my thigh, and my legs were numb. Every time I moved, the back hit by the roots of the tree caused unbearable excruciating pain every second. It really felt like my spine had been shattered.

I felt like my lungs would explode from the rough breathing. As if her forehead was ripped from the attack she couldn’t avoid, her eyes blurred red.

But only my mind became clearer. Although his physical strength and magic were low, it was a fight that he would win if he succeeded in attacking just once.

I didn’t give up even though I knew the difference was huge. Even if I hadn’t had the indomitable courage, I wouldn’t have given up.

I couldn’t forgive the monster that destroyed Lawton’s life.

It dissipated the flying green light magic and emitted mana that was exposed to the ground.

There was now only one way to solve this difficulty. In the meantime, because of the lack of mana, I practiced only the theory several times.

It is the next stage of [Basic space magic], And the principle of teleportation magic used by wizards.

[Space Movement Magic – Dimensional Leap]

That was the only way to approach and strike the Tarantra hidden in that withered tree.

It’s a magic I haven’t practiced once, but I can do it. No, I had to.

To turn the tables, you had to bet your life.

At the same time as the roots of the trees approaching me furiously, the surrounding ground overturned and attacked me.

The moment they reach my body. I gathered my magic and created a dimensional passage.

There is no need to recognize spatial coordinates.

It’s just that it shoots forward like an arrow.

The rough breathing and the excruciating pain felt all over my body disappeared in an instant.

The moment when the fleeting moment embraces eternity even for a moment.

I felt a strange sensation on my skin.

A feeling of floating, as if flying through the sky, and a feeling of pressure as if pressing down on the whole body. Even so, I felt an uncontrollable force pushing down my back.

My body was sucked into the dimensional passage. As if it were shot with tremendous speed, it passed through the dimensional passage and became a flash of light.

The moment when everything around you stops. Space was distorted, and a flash of red light flashed.

The withered gray tree was shattered by the spear of destruction, and it pierced Tarantra’s heart hidden in the space within the tree.

Tarantra just looked straight ahead, not understanding what had happened to him, his eyes wide open, and his body exploding and shattering as he opened his mouth.

With him, the time that had flowed very slowly found its place.

Like thunder comes later after lightning strikes. There was a roar in my ears.

Ku-Kwa-Kwa-Kwa—!

At the same time, exhausting all my strength, I passed out with a satisfied smile.
