Chapter 17 Reassemble

The atmosphere became tense. Lord Ezhel was like a man who had received a treasure before his eyes, he saw my courage and was not afraid of the two noble clan leaders. I was foolish to challenge Lord Carlos to a match within the thirty-minute time limit. There is no winner or loser, this match is easy in my opinion and will most likely be successful. I have challenged Lord Carlos to a fight on the condition that I will not use any magical weapons, but rather the power of my spirit. Whoever steps outside the circle will lose.

I risked everything. If Lord Carlos comes out of the red circle, he will have to free Helen, and if I lose, who knows what punishment I will face?

The red-haired man looked happy, seeing a unique event for the first time in this poor district. A teenage boy, a power level magus with level 10 spirit power, was fighting against the leader of the Silva Noble Clan, a level 90 magus.

Stupid. It's really stupid. I was overconfident and entered the lion's den. But I risked everything to free Helen and avenge Lord Carlos for hurting Lyra. The crowd in the square was growing, people were curious and this was the first time they saw a fight. A sixteen-year-old boy challenged the leader of a noble clan.

The fight began. Lord Carlos was already in front of my eyes when the fight started, his hands clenched tightly, ready to land a blow. Very fast. Of course, I was surprised by his martial arts skills, channeling spirit power to increase his strength.

A spirit magic aura flowed and enveloped my body, and I did not feel the heavy burden that was on my body. Moving as fast as the wind, my body felt very light. However, when I deliver a kick centered on the leg, the power will be many times greater. This time, my speed was quite steady. When Lord Carlos dealt a blow, I defended myself with my arms crossed. I blocked the attack even though I could feel that the blow was quite strong. My feet almost went out of the circle line, Lord Carlos made a sour face. In a flash, I was in a safe place.

This time, I can't be careless, I have to think quickly and analyze Lord Carlos' attack pattern. As usual, the silver-haired man couldn't control his emotions and attacked first. In this fight, I had the advantage because I was calm and did not react rashly.

Lord Carlos looked annoyed, his punch didn't hit me. I jumped up, my palms on his wrists, my feet up and my head down. My movements were so fast that Lord Carlos realized too late that I was behind him and gave him a hard kick in the tailbone.

The silver-haired man was thrown back, but not so much as to fall to the ground or get out of line. I often annoyed him, deliberately playing around so that I wouldn't feel tired and my strength wouldn't be drained too much.

Every time Lord Carlos attacked, I quickly dodged and turned to attack without his knowledge. I learned these basic things with the help of Professor Lupine. It's not easy to have a uniqueness where I have five major elementals, but I can't directly master all the elements.

"Morgan, you understood the Primary Elemental from the beginning. You train independently without knowing that you have already mastered two of the five Primary Elementals. The ability to speed up and make you as light as cotton shows that you have understood the Wind Element. The sharpness of your attack at one point means that you have already mastered the Lightning Element. Professor Lupine explained this to me once.

I took a quick step to avoid the blow, and this time Lord Carlos' hand was covered up to the wrist in a sharp wave of water. I almost hit one of the water needles.

It was a blanket of deadly water, the Water Elemental. One of the Primary Elementals that Lord Carlos possessed.

Lord Carlos raised his arms and slapped his palms on the ground. Water stakes with very sharp points appeared and moved toward me, but I dodged the sharp water stakes. It seemed that Lord Carlos was pushing me backwards until I would end up outside the circle line. I could not.

I was behind him, preparing to kick, when at the last moment a sharp stake appeared and hit my ankle. I quickly returned to my original position with the sharp water stake still stuck in my ankle.

I pulled out the small water stake, the white color was covered with blood. I have to find another way, Lord Carlos seems to have used his new tactic of using magical power to activate the Primary Elemental. The water element is the true form of the element, while the two Primary Elementals I have so far have not been able to form their original form, they can only be channeled through my body.

But a blanket of deadly water enveloped Lord Carlos' entire body. Perhaps I can destroy it. Not wanting to act like someone who could easily defeat the enemy, I understood my own abilities.

Most importantly, I just want to get Lord Carlos out of the way and be done with it. Same fighting pattern, Lord Carlos attacks first and I dodge the sharp water blades covering his hands.

Spirit magic power gathered in one spot, and with a very fast movement, my legs swung forward. A heavy kick hit his stomach, which was protected by a blanket of deadly water, and finally it was shattered by my blow. The silver-haired man was pushed past the edge of the circle, unable to stop my push.

It was all over within the thirty-minute time limit. Lord Carlos had lost, and he should have kept his promise to free Helen and apologize to Lyra.

That promise was not kept. It was as if someone had splashed dirty water on his clean face. Lord Carlos felt insulted by a poor boy like me. No one insulted him, in fact, the place was very quiet even though there were so many people watching our fight. Until Lord Carlos was defeated, lost in such a small match, the spectators fell silent for a moment.

The water waves were numerous, revealing a huge spirit magic aura. They don't dare to simply hide their voices. They were afraid that the deadly water waves would drown everyone in the square.

Lord Carlos could not accept being defeated in public. It was humiliating for a noble clan leader to lose to a lowly magus boy like me, to be humiliated in public.

Lord Ezhel tried to calm down Lord Carlos, it seemed that the silver-haired man's behavior was very bad. Don't accept small defeats. A radiance of spirit magic enveloped the silver-haired man's body, and a cold aura spread throughout the square. A very deadly cold aura, a rather large amount of spirit magic power.

For the first time, I felt extreme fear when I faced someone with a level 80 spirit magic power. Someone whose power level was far above mine, seeing the power of Lord Carlos, who was at the top of the ladder. Nothing compared to me at the bottom of the ladder.

The spirit magic aura was very strong, and so was the magic power pressure. His arms extended forward. The white light radiated out, and the water in his palm solidified more and more. The white light was blinding to the eyes, the light shot towards me, but there was a small ridge blocking the white light. Exciting moments. My eyeballs widened as if they wanted to pop out of their sockets, a hoarse voice said the name of the girl who was my shield. "LYRA!" The girl lay on the ground, her left hand partially covered in water that had turned to blood.

Lyra winced, bearing the pain in her left wrist. My hands clenched into tight fists, a fire raging inside my body. The hot sensation returned just as I was in a state of overwhelming emotion, a red flash in my blue eyes.

I feel like I'm out of control, like I'm going crazy. My movements were very fast, but they didn't scare the silver-haired man. He calmly fought against me, who was burning with the flames of anger. The continuous punches and kicks meant nothing, just an outburst of anger.

My punch was blocked by a very thick wall of water, and the wall of water shattered, causing an explosion. Due to the sudden explosion, I didn't have time to create a protective shield before I was thrown and fell to the ground.

"Impudent brat! How dare you embarrass me?" The hand reached out to me, the white light flashed brightly, the white light gathered in the palm of his hand, getting bigger and bigger, and I could feel the immense power condensing in the white light.

"Lord Carlos, you better calm down. Don't use the Deadly Water. Do you want to kill his son Jim? Don't you think of the consequences?" said Lord Ezhel warningly. For the first time, Lord Ezhel looked angry and frightened.

It doesn't matter if Lord Carlos uses his killing spell just to vent his anger on me. If I die, maybe Lord Carlos will be satisfied after venting his anger.

I couldn't do anything else, the blow was so hard that my whole body hurt, I couldn't even stand up. Although I have many advantages, I have limitations, and I ended up like this when the blinding white light approached me.

The flash of white light and the red aura collided. I was transfixed by what was happening in front of my eyes. Everything was like a recording camera that was deliberately playing fast, not noticing the presence of the red aura colliding with the white light. The figure of a tall man, so tall and towering. A red aura surrounded the man's body.

A figure that I had always admired, but harbored deep disappointment. The figure of a father on the forefront of protecting his son, this is the first time I have seen a father's angry expression shown to someone in front of my eyes.

"If you dare to hurt my son, I will not hesitate to break your neck!"
