Chapter 17: Magic · The Otherworld Version of Kidou!
Chapter 17: Magic · The Otherworld Version of Kidou!
Seeing that a betting pool had been opened for his sparring session with Rex, Yecheng originally wanted to take the opportunity to make some money. However, due to his current financial situation, he had to miss out on this chance.
"Ah——————!"
"Take this, Martial Technique: Lightning Slash!"
Rex was fully aware that, based on their previous sparring experiences with Yecheng, his chances of winning in a one-on-one fight were extremely slim.
If he waited for Yecheng to make the first move, he might not even have the chance to counterattack and would quickly lose the duel.
So, Rex's thoughts were crystal clear: even if he lost, he at least wanted to lose with style and not embarrass himself in front of so many people.
"No way, that Rex kid seems to be taking it seriously. He's actually using such a martial technique against a newbie. Is he trying to take that newbie out!"
As Yecheng had learned before, in "Gran Bahamal," almost everyone could master magic. Some skilled adventurers could even combine their martial techniques with magic, creating even more formidable techniques.
The martial technique Rex was using at this moment was one such power.
Golden light surged into Rex's longsword with a burst of magic, and thin, golden arcs of electricity began to dance along the blade.
Because of this martial technique, Rex's speed had clearly increased compared to before. In the blink of an eye, he had dashed in front of Yecheng.
Unlike the astonished onlookers, Yecheng was not overly worried about Rex's martial technique; he was more curious.
Since he had only just arrived in this world, this was his first time encountering its magic.
When Rex and the others were beaten up by Yecheng earlier, they had not used magic.
It wasn't that they didn't want to; it was because Yecheng's Hakuda speed was too fast, and they had been caught off guard, so they didn't even have the time to use magic.
Watching the lightning-fast slash of the Lightning Slash coming at him, Yecheng calmly gripped the crude bone knife in his hand and blocked the downward strike.
"Boom——————!"
When Rex's two-handed sword strike collided with Yecheng's bone knife, a massive shockwave erupted, and the fierce lightning instantly spread out, blinding the onlookers with a blinding flash of light.
"Rex, are you crazy? Yecheng is just a newbie, and you actually..."
As the fierce lightning emitted a bright light, the violent arcs shattered the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. Seeing Rex and Yecheng's figures obscured by the dust, Soya immediately scolded Rex with a look of anger.
Soya had thought that sparring with Rex would help Yecheng recognize his own strength. Even if he got hurt, it was better than dying foolishly to a monster.
But she never expected that in just a regular sparring session, Rex would go so far, even using a martial technique that seemed like a killing move!
However, Soya's angry words were cut short by what happened in front of her. She was now unsure whether she should even be angry.
It wasn't just her; the other adventurers watching the scene were also stunned and shocked, forgetting to take a sip of their ale.
Previously, everyone present only saw Rex gripping his sword with both hands, activating the martial technique "Lightning Slash" and slashing at Yecheng. The newbie adventurer Yecheng, standing in the same spot, didn't even have time to dodge and could only choose to defend passively.
Although the sandstorm obscured the figures of the two, most people believed that this duel and practice session had already determined a winner, and now the question was just how badly Yecheng was injured.
But what had they just seen? A figure had flown out of the sandstorm with a "whoosh," and it seemed to be Rex, who had just used the martial technique and was believed by everyone to have won!
At first, everyone thought they were seeing things, but when another figure slowly emerged from the sandstorm, holding a sword in one hand, they were stunned to realize that the figure that had flown out was indeed Rex!
"So this is what you call magic and martial techniques. They are very powerful, and they feel somewhat similar to the Kido I know, but it's a different kind of power.
By the way, can I still use Kido in this world? Why not give it a try now?"
Rex's "Lightning Slash" gave Yecheng a feeling somewhat similar to a spirit pressure slash, but its power was quite weak. However, the way he used his strength was refreshing to Yecheng.
"O rulers! Mask of flesh and blood, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bear the name of man! In the scorching heat and strife, across the sea, reversing the south, step forward!
Destructive Technique 31: Red Fire Cannon!"
Yecheng, who had slowly emerged from the sandstorm, held a bone sword with a crack in its blade in one hand and extended the other hand forward, starting to chant the Kido spell quickly.
Since the power system had been converted by the system to match the native world, a red magic circle appeared in front of Yecheng's palm as he chanted the Kido.
Spirit pressure transformed into magic power rose from Yecheng's body, and the gust of wind swirling around him instantly dispersed the surrounding sand.
In the next second, a red fireball with a diameter of about three meters emerged from the magic circle in front of Yecheng's palm and shot towards the direction Rex had been thrown with astonishing speed.
Yecheng was stunned, as he had thought he had controlled his spirit pressure, but he never expected the Red Fire Cannon to be so large.
Furthermore, the Kido, now converted into magic, had lost its ability to be maintained and was instantly launched from his hand the moment he finished chanting.
Watching the red fireball, which resembled a small sun, fly across the guild hall and leave a scorched path on the floor, Yecheng immediately took action.
No way, although he was dissatisfied with Rex's previous behavior, he only intended to teach him a lesson and had no intention of killing him.
From previous interactions, he had a clear understanding of Rex's strength. If Rex took a direct hit from this otherworldly version of the Red Fire Cannon, he would have no chance of survival!
He had just registered as an adventurer and planned to operate under this identity for a while. He didn't want to become a wanted criminal for accidentally killing someone.
Yecheng's feet tapped the ground, and with the boost of Shunpo, his figure instantly vanished from everyone's sight. When the onlookers came to their senses, they were stunned to see that Yecheng had already reached the red fireball he had released!
