Chapter 960: Night City, Another 'Saint'
Chapter 960: Night City, Another 'Saint'
"Damn it! My magic name is Fortis931 (The Strong), and now I'm getting serious. You better prepare yourself, you bastard!"
Night City's words were like a stab to the heart for the proud and mature-looking 14-year-old Stiyl, who had just been humiliated.
Without hesitation, Stiyl declared his magic name and prepared to unleash his full power to crush Night City, who seemed even more arrogant than himself.
"Magic name? What's that? Is it some kind of code name you guys use?"
Seeing Night City's ignorance about magic names and his seemingly genuine expression, Shokuhou Misaki, not far away, spoke up, "Magicians inscribe their desires and purposes in Latin on their souls, and this is what's known as a 'magic name'.
When magicians use their magic, they declare their magic name, which is akin to revealing their trump card or strength to their opponent."
After hearing Shokuhou Misaki's explanation, Night City glanced at Stiyl, whose demeanor had changed drastically. A hint of strangeness flashed across Night City's face as he said, "I didn't expect the magicians in this world to be so... well, 'juvenile'.
But in other words, after revealing their magic name, the power they use is their strongest, right?
In that case, I'm actually quite curious. Let's see just how impressive your resolve is!"
A towering inferno engulfed the runes, and the two Hunting Witches of Kings, which Stiyl had previously released, reappeared.
Just as Night City thought Stiyl's magic was more of the same, the three Hunting Witches of Kings suddenly converged.
Stiyl's three 'Hunting Witches of Kings' didn't act independently; they were originally a trinity.
The reason they were usually separated was to allow magic power to circulate among them, conserving mana consumption.
The true Pope-class magic was the trinity of 'Hunting Witches of Kings', far superior in both destructive power and size to the ordinary state of the Hunting Witch of Kings.
A fiery giant, standing over ten meters tall, rose up. The scorching heat emanating from its body instantly turned the cool night into a sweltering summer.
"TIAFIMH (Fire in My Hand), IHTSOTS (Its Shape as a Sword), AIHTR (Its Duty to Judge) - Sanguineous Bloody Rood!"
As Stiyl chanted his spell, the gigantic Hunting Witch of Kings now held two massive flame swords, one red and one blue.
Both their appearance and the aura they exuded clearly indicated that these flame greatswords possessed even greater destructive power and temperature than the Hunting Witch of Kings herself.
After declaring his magic name, Stiyl didn't waste any more words with Night City. The trinity of Hunting Witches of Kings was incredibly draining, and without the support of the Saint Church's spiritual equipment, he couldn't maintain it for long.
When the 'Hunting Witch of Kings', wielding two flame greatswords, struck with the force of splitting a mountain, Night City didn't try to dodge.
"Boom——————!"
The ground shook violently, and the area where Night City stood was instantly shattered like tofu by the red and blue flame greatswords. The scorching flames instantly turned the ground into molten lava.
Blazing storms erupted, covering the ground in a web of cracks for hundreds of meters. The center of the Hunting Witch of Kings' attack collapsed into a massive sinkhole.
And with that strike, Stiyl also knelt on one knee, clearly exhausted from the consecutive powerful spells he had just cast, which had drained his mana considerably.
Although he was undeniably a genius, he was only fourteen years old, and without a 'Saint' physique, his mana reserves for his age were already awe-inspiring, surpassing all his peers.
However, just as Stiyl believed that his last attack should have finished off Night City, a calm voice suddenly echoed from the nearby lava-filled pit.
"Not bad magic. The presentation and style are decent, but the caster's mana is a bit lacking, and the power is somewhat underwhelming."
Hearing this voice and seeing Night City emerge unscathed from the lava pit, everyone present was stunned.
Among them, Stiyl was undoubtedly the most incredulous.
After all, he had just unleashed his ultimate attack, declaring his magic name and staking his resolve, yet not only had he failed to defeat his opponent, but his foe seemed completely unharmed! This was hard to accept.
"Impossible! This can't be! Even a 'Saint' wouldn't escape unscathed from that attack. Who are you, and what means did you use?"
In response to Stiyl's disbelief, Night City waved the long sword in his hand and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "I'm sorry, but pure elemental magic attacks are useless against me.
This isn't a superpower; you can think of it as a special physique. In simpler terms, I have complete resistance or immunity to elemental magic attacks."

Upon hearing Night City's words, not only Stiyl but even Shokuhou Misaki, who had stepped forward, was left speechless.
As someone unfamiliar with magic, Kamijou Touma didn't find Night City's physique particularly impressive, as his own superpower, 'Imagine Breaker,' possessed a similar ability.
However, in Academy City, such a superpower was rated as a Level 1 Esper.
"I see, no wonder your strength is so formidable. So, you're a Saint as well? And an undiscovered, unrecorded new Saint at that!"
Due to his prolonged stay in Academy City, Night City's knowledge was primarily based on scientific principles. Hearing Shokuhou Misaki mention a new term, he asked with genuine curiosity, "What exactly is a Saint?"
Seeing Night City's bewildered expression, both Stiyl and Shokuhou Misaki realized something.
Previously, they had suspected that Night City belonged to another magic organization, but now it seemed that the man before them genuinely knew nothing.
A normal magician would never be unaware of magic names or the concept of Saints, which meant that he was a wild Saint!
"A Saint is a human with a physique similar to a 'God's Child,' someone favored or blessed by the divine.
They are born with divine power, possessing a unique physique and sacred stigmata. When they unleash the power of their stigmata, they can temporarily surpass human limits."
