Chapter 477 – Chapter 477. Imsol (3)

Kwaaaaang-!

A magical clash that marks the beginning of the battle between the two wizards.
A roaring sound erupted from a simple magical shock, and the shock was transmitted to the outside of the arena.

“… It boils.”

Imsol muttered as he watched the magic collide in the air.
Standing in front of him, Lee Ho-yeon calmly raised her magic power. This must mean that it is a physical exercise for him as well.

Beasts have senses from birth.
Is your opponent stronger or weaker than you? He can tell just by making eye contact.
The weak lower their tails and run away before fighting, and the strong naturally take their prey.

Im Sol is the same.
You can tell what level the opponent mage is by just looking at them.

‘It’s gotten much stronger.’

Much more orderly and destructive magic than the last sparring.
A huge presence that you can feel just by being in front of your eyes.

Im Sol still remembers that day vividly.
The day I first met Lee Ho-yeon.
The day she recognized his talent.

That’s when he found out that there was a wizard with similar talent as himself.
Imsol felt unbearable joy.
At first, it was just the joy of finding someone who could communicate with her.

But now Ho-yeon Lee is fighting against herself.
Imsol was excited about his pupil’s remarkable growth.
Imsol raised the corner of his mouth.
Since the disciple has shown something, he is obliged to prove himself as well.

Pah ah-

Magic power that gathers at one point.
In the middle of the arena, Im Sol’s magic power rises.

‘… Excited. Very.’

Lee Ho-yeon watched Im Sol’s magic.
Neither Im Sol nor Lee Ho-yeon showed sincerity to each other.
Just as she was hiding the magic of hell herself, it was clear that Im Sol was also hiding a dagger.

‘I can’t use Macheongung yet.’

The duration of Macheongung is not long.
Moreover, there is no way that Im Sol did not prepare for Macheongung. She wanted to save it if it wasn’t something she could definitely finish.
The best situation is that after checking Im Sol’s dagger, she unfolds Ma Cheon-gung… Because it doesn’t always flow in the best situation.

Gying-

Hoyeon Lee’s eyes glow golden, and her magic orb rises above her head.

‘Dog… And the arc.’

Concentrate her magic in her right hand.
Lee Ho-yeon gained confidence from the sparring with Rebecca.
Her own strengths can be exploited in a fight with an arc.
She wondered if she would work for Im Sol.

Kwai-ang!

The magical energy gathered at one point rushed to Lee Ho-yeon.
A violent bombardment of light.

Tuung.

With his right hand, he weakens Imsol’s magical power and creates a barrier of runes. Although he was quite powerful, he couldn’t break through the rune’s barrier.
Hundreds of thunderbolts unfolding in an arc at the same time.
Im Sol smiled as he stopped the lightning from falling over her head.

“As expected, he is our disciple. He has become stronger than expected.”
“Thank you so much for the compliment… Aren’t you too excited…!?”

Quadd deuk.

Im Sol smiled at her and she fired her magic nonstop.
Lee Ho-yeon smiled bitterly at the dozens of magic shots hitting the barrier of the rune.

‘I don’t even have an arc, but the magic implementation speed is similar to mine.’

She thought that her strong point was fighting magic numbers using arcs.
However, Im Sol surpassed Lee Ho-yeon’s imagination.

Im Sol kept drawing new magic circles for her while completely mastering her constant pouring magic.
The product of great talent and hard work.
Once again admiring her magic that reached the limit of humankind, Lee Ho-yeon looked at Im-sol through the cracked rune’s barrier.

Kiik-

Lee Ho-yeon strengthened the rune’s barrier and raised her magical power.
Her best defense is offense.
The war situation can’t get better only if you’re suffering.

Pounding-

Blood Beat.
The magic circuit inside the body reacts.
The mana in her raging body is sucked into the arc and draws her magic circle.

Shiiyi-!

At the same time, Lee Ho-yeon snapped her fingers. In an instant, Lee Ho-yeon’s magic takes control of the air in the arena.
A snowy wind swirling around her.
The wind with her magic pushed away Imsol’s magic, and acid rain fell from the clouds in the sky towards Imsol.
The acid rain, full of her magic, devastated the surroundings of her imsol and neutralized her magic circle.

‘Lightning connection.’

Caddeudeuk-!

In an instant, Imsol’s boundaries collapsed, and a sharp spear of lightning rushed at the empty front.
Sensing the destructive power of her magic, Im Sol stepped back and unleashed her magical power.

“… Okay. It’s getting better and better. I think our student will get better!”

Aaaaang-!

‘Dimension Force.’

Imsol burst her magic power by overlapping her thick barrier dozens of times.
Explosions of her mana that erupted again and again enveloped the entire arena, dispelling the cloud of her acid rain.

‘This thrill, it’s the best… !’

Imsol couldn’t stand the corners of her mouth rising.

Equal battles come and go, and she herself is overwhelmed by her enormous magical power.

It was the first feeling she felt.
Wizards exchanging magic with each other is an imagery conversation that goes beyond words.
Im Sol was overjoyed that she had a partner who could accept her conversation.
I feel a throbbing headache. This feeling of mana draining from her body was very pleasant.

‘I can’t miss it either.’

The person she had been looking for all her life. Whatever happens, you have to take it.
Im Sol held her heart once again and looked at Lee Ho-yeon at her with a smile on her face.

‘… The smiley face is so scary.’

Lee Ho-yeon swallowed her saliva.
Imsol’s hair blows in the wind.
It was so strange that she had such a happy smile in this situation, but she was still beautiful.

“Thank you for liking me… I don’t usually put pressure on people I like, right?”

Even if the flow of battle is fast, it’s too fast.
I wanted to say more of her playful words, but to resist Im Sol’s magic, Hoyeon Lee had to put all of her focus into it.

Kung-Kung-Kwaang-

Imsol’s shockwaves bursting out endlessly take over the space.
Lee Ho-yeon, who resisted the shock by twisting her body, immediately switched her magic circle.

‘Ice howling.’

A cold wave calms Im Sol’s shock wave.
At the same time, he took out the arc hidden in the rune’s barrier.

From the start of the battle, Ark, who had secretly possessed magic, had stacked hundreds of burning flames.
The ever-rotating flames were released, united as one, and became an arrow pointing towards Imsol.

Dozens of layers of mana stretched out before him.
Lee Ho-yeon smiled and accelerated the space she occupied.

‘… This is dangerous.’

Sensing her sinisterness, Im Sol immediately opened a thick barrier, but the flame pierced Im Sol’s body faster than that.

Faaaaang-!

As soon as the flame touched Imsol’s body, it exploded and burned fiercely.
The power of her explosion was enough to deafen Lee Ho-yeon, but Lee Ho-yeon continued to pour her mana.

Because I believe in Imsol.
I firmly believed that I would not collapse just like this.

‘… It went in perfectly, obviously.’

The magic that was just unfolded was a move that had been hidden since the beginning of the match.
In order to remain undetected, the flame using weak magical power was rotated hundreds of thousands of times inside the arc. After that, when fired using space acceleration, it turns into a flame bomb with tremendous destructive power.
Imsol didn’t expect it, and she thought it was perfect timing too.

By the way….

The magic circle in the arena was so peaceful, and the flames were slowly getting weaker even though magic was pouring in.

“I’m sorry…!”

Magical power poured from the center of the explosion.
Lee Ho-yeon, who was staggering, covered her face with her hands and spread her barrier.

As expected, the spark lost its power even before her own magical power supply was exhausted.
Although the fact that the magic he had put so much effort into was destroyed in an instant was exhausting, Lee Ho-yeon smiled.
It was because he felt strong magical power from Imsol.

Im Sol, floating in her air, closed her eyes.
Behind Imsol’s back covered in blue magic, dozens of brilliantly shining magic circles were spinning.

It’s already the third time I’ve seen Im Sol’s sincerity mode.

Pure white light descends on the arena.
Four huge pillars of light fall around Imsol.
It was like an angel descending from heaven to punish evil.

Slowly descending to the ground, Im Sol slowly breathed in her and looked at her in front.
Lee Ho-yeon, who is smiling happily, comes into Im Sol’s field of vision.

That moment. Im Sol and Lee Ho-yeon understood at the same time.
Of the two, Im Sol was the first to be sincere.

“Deployment of Macheon Palace.”

Lee Ho-yeon immediately deployed Macheon Palace. She was no longer in a situation to spare.
Ho-yeon Lee’s magical energy shimmers around her body.
The spreading wave of magical energy emitted an intangible wave, establishing an area that dominated the surrounding space.

Pounding- pounding-

As Im Sol grows stronger, the sense of battle stimulates his heart once again.
Thanks to the strong magic that Im Sol exudes, her headache was worse than usual during the process of unfolding her Ma Heavenly Bow, but in the end, the Ma Heavenly Palace covered the entire arena.
A peculiar flow of magical power felt inside the Macheon Palace.
Feeling the magic flowing into her, Lee Ho-yeon raised the corner of her mouth.
If it was inside the Macheongung, it didn’t seem like it would be possible to lose.

‘… Macheongung has also grown. The pressure I feel is much greater.’

Imsol frowned at her.
Unpleasant sensations enveloped her body.
To Im Sol, magical power is like a part of her body.
However, there was a sense of difference in her magical power.

“Flame Strike.”

Jijik-. Support position-. Pushik-.

Her magic, which Im Sol spread, burned weakly, and then she lost its power.
Her magic, which she has used all her life, does not respond to her own wishes.
This is the magic of his disciple, the genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon.

“Ah….”

Imsol let out an ecstatic voice.

“It’s beyond imagination. It’s much heavier than I expected.”

Of course, preparations for Macheon Palace were over, but Lee Ho-yeon’s magic showed more than that.
No matter how this confrontation ends. Wouldn’t it be okay to grant Lee Ho-yeon’s wish at least once?
Imsol thought so and she took a step forward.

“Thunderstorm.”

Lightning strikes around Imsol.

The principle of her Macheongung is in a state where she also grasps it.
Magic that expands the realm and exerts control over the magic around it.
In the realm of mastery of magic, the efficiency of Lee Ho-yeon’s specialty, magic inversion, is maximized. That’s why you can interfere with the opponent’s magic.

At first glance, it seems like an invincible ability when dealing with wizards, but in other words, it means that you only need to avoid ‘reverse calculation’.
Reverse magic means going back to the opponent’s magic circle.

Composition of the magic circle. The magic circle’s solidarity. A gap in the magic circle. Strength of magical power. Until the sorcerer’s breath.

All elements necessary for inversion are adjusted in seconds. Even if he lacks magical control, Im Sol can take the lead in reaction speed and control.
It all started with the process of changing the already activated magic circle shown by Lee Ho-yeon.

Pajik- Pajikjik-.

The interior of the arena is filled with lightning.
The lightning that fell with a certain rule drew a magic circle on the floor at the same time as it exploded.
Imsol’s specialty is the double magic circle. It is a technique that maximizes efficiency by drawing a magic circle with the mana contained in magic.

‘… Such a fuck.’

Lee Ho-yeon opened her eyes to see the magic circle drawn by lightning.
It was the first time seeing magic. It’s probably Imsol’s original.
It was not the first time that Im Sol showed original magic. It wouldn’t be strange if there were a few more hidden.
The problem is, how can such a huge magic be used inside the palace of Heaven?

‘The magic circle… No, mana is changing in real time.’

Inverse calculation does not work.
Lee Ho-yeon’s magical power, which was climbing up the magic circle, quickly lost its way and was scattered in the air.
Imsol was converting all the information of the magic circle in real time.

‘Is that possible while using the magic that fills the entire arena?’

But there was no time for questioning.
Im Sol in front of me was actually doing it.
In order to destroy Lee Ho-yeon’s Macheon Palace, he prepared such a ridiculous thing.

“I’m satisfied with this much. Hoyeon-ah. It exceeded my expectations. Really… I felt like I could catch up in a few years.”
“…”
“I can grant your wish. Oh, it’s not too harsh, right?”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled bitterly at Im Sol, who was smiling happily.
Before he knew it, he returned to his usual mischievous Im Sol.
It was as if she had already won.

“…Don’t pretend you won everything, Professor.”

Even if Im Sol wins, he won’t give up until he collapses.
Certainly Im Sol was strong.
A heavy feeling of pressure was pressing down on Lee Ho-yeon’s shoulders.

‘But what?’

The first time I saw Im Sol’s sincerity mode at the magic fair. My legs trembled with fear and I couldn’t move at all.
When I saw it for the second time during sparring using the arc, I felt the pressure so strong that it was difficult to breathe.
But now, she was able to move. He could use magic.

“Have you already forgotten who spoke your mind first?”

Lee Ho-yeon raised her magic.
A [Spiral] Explodes in the air.
The spiraling magical power shattered all the magic circles drawn by the thunderbolt.
Imsol opened her eyes wide, then slowly opened her mouth.

“… Yes. There’s no way our student will end here. Show me more. Push me even more.”

Imsol smiled confidently.
I was so excited to see how the disciple would break him down.
