Mage Adam

"Ignas, no!"

The twins yelled as soon as they saw the figure stab at Peter Aum.

Adam raised his eyebrows and stared at the figure. Looking at the merit bracelet, he didn't expect a battlemage apprentice to butt in and steal his points.

"Hahah! Adam of the Moldo Tower, you are strong -- stronger than I expected. But now, you have no magic, so allow me to accept the points in your honor!" the apprentice named Ignas cackled. He merely wanted to follow the three to see what they were up to, but he didn't expect such a bountiful harvest.

"One hundred points is no small amount," Ignas mentioned, stabbing at Peter Aum again.

"Interesting," Adam murmured. In his magnetic field, nobody below his power level could cast magic faster than him. He couldn't let a hundred points slip through his fingers so easily.

Adam stepped hard on the ground, forming a huge iron sword that rose from the ground and blocking Ignas' slashes on Peter. The iron sword swung violently, slashing through Peter's body.

Ignas recalled the shadow towards himself, shrouding his body in a mass of darkness under the sun. He didn't expect Adam to still be able to cast magic especially after defeating an antimage, and fear struck him.

The magnetic field was gathering Peter Aum's remaining magic that leaked out of him, and under Adam's guidance, it shot towards Ignas. Ignas' eyes widened, instantly forming a black shield to block the magic.

Boom!

Peter's body finally exploded into pieces, and Ignas takes three steps back.

Adam hovered and flew towards Ignas, and the magnetic field moved with him as the centre. His fingers pointed at Ignas, and countless electromagnetic guns shot at Ignas.

Adam may be low on mana, but his mana reserves far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Facing Ignas, Adam didn't even bother using powerful, large-scale magics, instead choosing to use efficient magic that consumes little to no mana, and all of his systems were rushing to restore as much mana as possible.

"Damn it! I get it! The points are yours, stop trying to kill me!"

Adam was unmoved. He should be responsible for his own actions.

Ignas wanted to escape into the shadows, but was unable to channel it as he was interrupted by the magic being bombarded on him.

Ignas dodged, shooting out shadowy figures from his fingers that opened its maw and clawed through the air, like poisonous snakes.

"If you are courting death, then I shall fulfil your wishes!"

The snake pierced through the air, flying towards Adam.

Adam mimicked Ignas' movements, sending out an electric snake of his own.

Crackle crackle!

A series of explosions sounded one after another as the snakes met, and the shockwave formed from it rendered the already desolate town even more miserable.

"Just how much mana do you have left? Stop struggling and die!"

Ignas sent out a Shadow Sword as Adam landed on the ground. Adam quickly conjured another iron sword, infusing it with electricity.

This sword was far stronger than Ignas' own, since Adam used his systems to channel the spell. The Shadow Sword dissipated instantly, and Ignas vanished.

"Ignas' shadow magic is dangerous! Watch out for stealth attacks!" Shirley yelled, keeping her sister close to her. They didn't want to become targets for Ignas either.

Adam nodded, taking a piece of ether crystal to restore his mana. Although Ignas was constantly phasing in and out of the shadows, Adam could track him accurately.

Adam soared into the sky, and he could see a shadow forming around his initial position, enveloping the area like a black flower.

Rustle rustle.

Adam tossed away the ether crystals, forming countless runes around his feet. Gathering the elements before him and superimposing multiple layers of electricity on it, crafting a railgun in thin air.

He shot the railgun towards the ground where there wasn't anyone, and Ignas' body emerged from the shadows. His eyes widened as he tore three scrolls in quick successions, forming a black shield that firmly protected him.

Boom!

The twins were blinded by the dazzling light formed from the collision of magic, and the shockwave chipped away at their defences, "Ignas used a magic scroll... just what kind of magic did Adam use? I didn't know electric magic was that powerful..."

As the light dissipated, they could see Adam walking towards the crater formed by the explosion, where Ignas was lying motionless.

"I win," Adam said emotionlessly, raising a sword over his body.

Ignas exudes the smell of cooked meat as magic leaked out of his body.

"You... you can't kill me!" Ignas said weakly. "I'm a battlemage apprentice... I'm a member of the War Alliance... if you kill me, you won't get any help during the trial."

Adam was unmoved, slashing downwards.

Suddenly, an ice shield blocked his blow, and Adam could hear Shirley's voice, "Adam, don't be hasty. The War Alliance is indeed powerful."
