Chapter 24: Chapter 24: 3rd Circle (2)
Reif crossed his arms in front of him to block the strong winds while his feet heavily slammed on the ground
"[Tremor!]" Compared to the time that Reif uses this magic against the guards of Baron Kar's Manor, the shaking of the ground he produces now was certainly stronger than before
Even Ram's rhythm was affected by a bit but it was not too serious that it would cause his defeat
Ram stops the wind magic to snap his fingers. The flying stars were immediately coated with flashes of yellow electricity and the speed even grew faster than before
Reif did his best to accurately move his body to dodge all the flying stars that are faster than they were originally
However, despite his skills, the fact that his body was still weak won't simply change
The flying stars managed to leave several shallow cuts in his body. The lightning they contained even had a paralyzing effect and Reif can feel his body getting number than usual
Despite that, Reif merely controlled the mana inside his body to dispel the paralyzing effect
Yet Ram continued as the flying stars suddenly expanded in size. Each of them was now as wide as a human waist
As a result, Reif stops dodging them to run towards Ram
The man created another magic circle in front of him as he uses the same magic as before
"[Wind Gust!]"
Winds with cutting power once again came out of the magic circle but the same move won't work at Reif
His legs were suddenly bent and before the strong gusts of winds reach him, Reif already jumped high in the air
An arrow created from condensed winds appeared on top of his palm that he threw towards Ram
In return, Ram created another magic circle above his head and it has the ability to block Reif's attack
The enlarged flying stars also didn't become idle as they continued flying towards the now descending Reif
However, Reif already calculated that Ram would do this and his feet were instantly covered with pieces of earth
With a landing Reif already calculated in his mind, one of the flying stars were used as his spring broad
Reif's body once again sent into the air. Thanks to the lightning in the flying stars, the pieces of earth on Reif's feet were smashed into smaller pieces but it was quickly replaced by fiery fire
"[Fiery Fall!]" The fire in Reif's right foot grew bigger and stronger
Ram just finished blocking the earlier wind arrow when Reif was already nearing him
In terms of spell casting and alternating into different types of magic, it can be said that Reif was top-notch
Even Ram can only blush at his own inferiority. However, he still currently holds the strongest raw power between the two of them and Reif can't defeat him
Ram dispersed the flying stars and focuses all of his magic into his right fist causing it to bulge
"[Giant's Strenght!]" Ram's arms immediately grew out of proportion. The right one was visibly bigger than the left one
A fist and foot met each other creating a loud banging sound. The shockwaves this collision brought was very powerful
It blew the surroundings dirt, leaves, and even small stones
Ram uses more of his power into this exchange and Reif was thrown several meters in the air
The kid's feet bled from and it was even slightly swollen. If Reif didn't use the impact to his advantage, his foot would have received more damage
Ram doesn't want to hurt Reif but he knew that this kid wanted an intense fight where he would also get injured
Reif's soul can accurately react in time but his physical body can't. Thus, he needs to push himself hard if he wants his body to be able to perfectly sync with the action his mind wants to take
While still in the air, Reif twisted his body and releases gusts of winds in his palms to regain his balance
However, as soon as Reif regained balance, he sensed a figure blocking the sun above him
Ram jumped in the air, ready to punch Reif using his strengthened arm
Reif barely managed to dodge and a loud 'bang' can be heard
Smokes rose from the ground blocking Ram from everyone's vision yet he didn't even wait for the smokes to vanish before attacking Reif again
The kid pushed his body to the limit but he didn't dare meet Ram's fist head-on. At most, he will dodge to the side and attack Ram from the side
Taking Ram's fist head-on is out of the question. Reif's body can't take the strength that arm has
As a result, several deep craters with long spider cracks were left in the ground. Ram threw a lot of powerful punch but they either miss or they can only hit the ground
After just a few minutes, the ground was already thoroughly abused. The two audiences watching the battle can't even believe that a mere 3rd circle mage can resist Ram for such a long time
After all, the two were also 3rd circle mage but compared to Reif, they are nothing but farts
Seems like the saying 'comparison would only hurt yourself' is true
Compared to Ram's younger siblings that are both 3rd circle mage to Reif that is at the same realm, the former is clearly too weak
They might not even be able to resist Reif's power for a few rounds
The battle continued and Ram's arm returned back to normal already. As for Reif, he was breathing heavily as the intense battle is taking a toll on his body
His whole body was already drenched with a lot of sweat and his hair was also in a huge mess
As for Ram, he only sweated a bit but he still has a lot of strength left
The two stood on opposite sides before Reif made another move. Above him, three green magic circles appeared and they fired tens of sharp leaves
As for Ram, he merely conjured two large flying stars in his hands and threw them in the air
The flying stars cut the leaves easily as they continued advancing towards Reif
Reif knew that Ram can easily deal with his attacks and he can only fight the man with fast spell casting of magic with various elements
Reif gathered mana in his palms before thrusting it in the air releasing strong gusts of winds
At the same time, Reif sent mana through his feet and sharp spikes immediately grew from the ground
At the same time, Reif also opened his mouth to release bullets of fire
Ram suddenly faces three different magical attacks but he just gathered mana in his hand again
Two large flying stars were once again condensed before Ram threw them in the air. The two flying stars were just released when Ram created another set
Ram turned into a machinegun that continuously created large flying stars. They easily dispelled Reif's attacks and in fact, they even surrounded the kid
Reif tried to use every magic he can currently use but it was all for naught. The sheer power of these flying stars are still stronger than what he can currently handle and he instantly lost
While lamenting his current lack of power, Reif's buttocks heavily landed on the ground and Seph immediately handed a bottle of water for him to drink
After drinking the water, Reif turned to look at Ram that was already looking at him
"What do you plan on doing next?" Ram asked. He knew that he can't keep a person like Reif
The Hanga Town is too small for Reif and Ram knew that the kid already planned on leaving soon
"I'll go to a nearby city and I decided to exchange for something with you again. This might be the last time as I don't know if we will meet again in the future. I would seriously think about it if I were you" Reif replied and Ram's eyes glowed with both anticipation and pity
If Reif stays with them, Ram feels like his Noble Family would achieve greater heights. Just the manual to help Ram reach the 7th circle is already enough to help him heavily
What more if Reif decided to help him wholeheartedly?
In fact, if not for Ram trusting his senses, he might have forced Reif into spilling all of his secrets already
In that way, Ram can benefit more but he feels that he would be incurring a disaster if he does that
Thus, cooperating with Reif is the only thing he can do
"Let me hear it, if it's something I can do, I'll do it" Ram replied and Reif nodded his head at that
"Do you have a Noble badge or something like that? I need something that would let me do or access places that only those with Nobility Title can enjoy"
Since this realm is controlled by the Royal Family and the Nobles, a lot of privileges are only available for those two kinds of people
Especially if it comes to resources that Reif currently needs
