Chapter 958: Night City: The End? The Game Has Just Begun!
"Shen Li, has the spell I used to disperse the commoners lost its effect?"
Looking at Touma Kamijou, Night City turned to the red-haired priestess beside him and asked.
"If the spell hadn't worked, we would have been discovered by others during our pursuit. Since the spell has no effect on him, there are only two possibilities. One is that he possesses a certain level of strength, and the other is that he is also a magician."
Upon hearing Shen Li's words, Stiyl, with a troubled expression, ran his hand through his hair and then glanced at Night City, saying, "Old man, this has nothing to do with you. Could you kindly stand aside and watch? We'll erase your related memories after we're done here."
Although Stiyl was confident in his abilities, not to mention Shen Li, one of the less than twenty "Saints" in the world, was by his side.
But Academy City was ultimately the territory of the scientific faction. If they caused a big fuss and attracted some big shots from the Academy City's backers, it would be a troublesome matter for them.
"Hey, hey, hey, regardless of whether you two oddly dressed individuals are suspicious, it's a bit much to call someone an old man upon meeting them.
I'm barely in my twenties, and no matter how you look at it, I don't resemble an old man!"
Night City could tolerate being called an old man by the beautiful girls of Academy City, but the red-haired priest in front of him, who was nearly two meters tall, looked to be around the same age as Night City!
"Blabber, I'm fourteen this year, and a man in his twenties is an old man to me."
Not only Night City, but even Touma Kamijou, who had been chased by them until now, was stunned upon hearing the other party's words.
The nearly two-meter-tall red-haired priest, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a demeanor of a street thug, was only fourteen years old?
"Although I've heard that people in the West mature faster, I've never seen a fourteen-year-old in such a hurry to grow up..."
"It seems you're intentionally provoking us. In that case, let's beat you down first!"
Stiyl, irritated by Night City's words, stopped wasting time and chose to take action directly.
The primary reason Stiyl didn't want to waste more time wasn't because of Night City's taunts but Index's condition, which couldn't wait any longer.
"Innocentius!"
The runic inscriptions pasted around them burst into flames, instantly illuminating the surrounding darkness. As the temperature soared, a towering figure, several meters tall and engulfed in flames, appeared before Night City and the others.
The scorching heat of three thousand degrees Celsius caused the surrounding air to distort.
When Night City saw the sudden appearance of the flame giant, he showed surprise but no fear.
"This thing doesn't seem to be a superpower, does it?"
Night City had heard of this world before but had never seen it, so he was genuinely unfamiliar with its story.
When he first arrived in this world, Night City worked temporary jobs in Academy City and gathered intelligence about this world.
It was only recently, after discovering the true method to use his cheat ability, that he shared a significant portion of Night City's power and knowledge. With his solid scientific background, he had just secured a position as a chemistry teacher at a high school.
The reason for his hangover was due to his new colleagues taking him out to celebrate.
Of course, none of this was the main focus. The key point was that during his time in Academy City, Night City had learned that the common knowledge there was that everything revolved around Espers.
Most students in Academy City acquired their powers through various means, such as drugs, hypnosis, and electric stimulation.
These Espers possessed various types of abilities, categorized by their range and power:
- Level 0: Powerless
- Level 1: Low-Level
- Level 2: Special Ability
- Level 3: Strong Ability
- Level 4: High-Level
- Level 5: Esper
- Level 6: Absolute Ability
Academy City was home to numerous educational institutions, and students made up eighty percent of the total population. Among the students, only sixty percent possessed powers, and only a mere seven individuals had reached the Level 5 rank.
As one might expect, in Academy City, students with powers, especially those with higher ranks, enjoyed better treatment and benefits.
After living in Academy City for a while, Night City's understanding of "common sense" was that in this world, only Espers existed, and there was no such thing as "magic."
However, no matter how he looked at it now, the power used by the red-haired priest in front of him didn't seem to be an Esper ability.
"They are magicians from outside Academy City. The power they use is not an Esper ability but what they call 'magic'."
As Stiyl summoned the flame giant that had previously destroyed Night City's apartment building, Touma Kamijou quickly laid the unconscious Index flat on the ground and then prepared to rush forward to use his Esper ability to protect Night City... or rather, to use the "Imagine Breaker" to defend against the attack.
Almost all Espers in Academy City were students, and given Night City's age, the opponent couldn't be a student but was likely a Level 0.
Since the opponent was caught in this disaster because of him, Touma Kamijou, with his strong sense of justice, couldn't stand by and watch Night City get eliminated.
However, just as Touma Kamijou was about to rush forward, Night City grabbed him by the collar and threw him backward.
"Protect that girl well. After the battle, I'll immediately treat her injuries.
Magicians are rare, and this is such an interesting fight; I'll take care of it myself."
The flame giant rushing towards Night City extended its giant hand and pressed down on him, while the towering pillar of fire instantly engulfed Night City's body.
"It's over. I thought he might be someone of note, but..."
Before Stiyl could finish his sentence, a flash of blade light burst out from the flames, not only splitting the pillar of fire that had enveloped his body but also cleaving the towering flame giant in half, as if it were a watermelon!
"It's over? No, no, no! The game has just begun!
Come on, magicians, show me everything you've got, and let me enjoy the thrill of battle to the fullest."
Witnessing the bisected "King of Witches" and the massive trench left by the slash on the ground, Stiyl turned to Night City, whose face was filled with battle intent. Stiyl's expression was one of astonishment as he asked, "Who exactly are you?"
