Chat Group For Magicians Chapter 118

Around 1 in the afternoon, we finally arrived back on the ruins . Moonlight is already fine with most of her wounds almost healed enough . The Dryad, Leto is also there on her side to make sure she doesn't really push too much on her body . It was quite a thing that she stayed in the ruins without going back to the forest which is good for me because I can ask her to train with me in using Forestry Control .

Maple is already back to her usual place to continue her duties . Miya on the other hand also undergoes training with me . What I am surprised with is that Miya is no longer using her daggers for training but a bow and arrow like the typical elves do .

"You are using bows and arrows now?" I asked Miya when I meet her at the archery hall in Catmod's place .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Yeah . I am much more proficient in bows and arrows than in daggers," She said and put an arrow to her bow and aimed it on a target .

"Then how come you are using daggers during the time we had in the forest? I never saw you brought out a bow or any similar kind of it but only daggers in battle . Why is that?"

Miya shot out the arrow on her bow and squarely hit the bullseye . "The Chief is the one who taught us that bows are something that only the elves' ancestors use and since we are the descendants, we just have to change our choice of weapons and not just stick to bows and arrows . Therefore, he banned and burned all of the bows and arrows that existed in our tribe . That is why most of us elves are either stale already in using bows and some are not even a master of it anymore . "

I nodded hearing her explanation . Still, why does the chief is so adamant in changing the ways of the elves' way of fighting? Isn't that just strange? However, I did not press further because I might be stepping a landmine from her and it is best for me to just stay quiet at the moment .

My training continues as I was under the guidance of Catmod . I was also getting help from Leto from the control of the Forestry Control . Now I know who to approach whenever I learn a nature skill like the Forestry Control . As time went on, the training is getting intense but it seems easy on me now . If I was the same guy who did not know battle tactics too much, now, I can just deal a lot of good moves against Catmod .

1 month pa.s.sed by and today, my final battle against Catmod is finally here . I have trouble against Catmod because he is still holding back . However, as I train hard, I managed to predict his movements and slowly but surely, I managed to almost best Catmod in a brush . Today, I plan on settling the battle with Catmod right now .

In the same place, the arena is now full of other audiences, not just Moonlight, but with Miya, Leto, Hikari, Itazura, Maple and the others working in the mansion . Since this was considered as the last battle, the arena is full of people and I am also preparing for the worst . I can't underestimate Catmod and even with my new abilities, it is hard to beat him without a plan . Devising a good chain of attacks will work to defeat him .

I stood in front of Catmod while the latter was adjusting his monocle . He is still confident as usual which is hard to determine what he was thinking at the moment . Waiting for his signal, I can feel my muscles tense as if they can't wait to go to battle . When Catmod signals me to engage, I did not hesitate and darted forward to him .

With my training for a month giving me obvious results, I have already done some good maneuvers using different magic to enhance my movement and fighting capabilities . While I was in the middle of going to attack Catmod, I already activated my flames and covered my fist with a red flame . I did not bother to cover my defenses this time and just dashed forward . To others, this is a suicide style of attack and it looked like I was just a charging truck that didn't bother to change tires .

Catmod claps his paws and a forcefield appeared around his body . However, that is not enough tactics for me to stop my attack . While I was still not engaging on Catmod, I clap my flaming hands together and a green magic circle appeared . And while running, I made a stomp my right foot into the ground and a quick green magic circle appeared on my feet before it disappeared . It was fast enough that Catmod did not notice the magic circle that appeared on my feet and was more wary in my hands' magic circle .

When I was around a few inches from Catmod, I threw a punch on his barrier . Of course, Catmod just keeps his paws together to maintain the barrier . But he never expected that I shoot out a green sprout on his barrier . Catmod stomps his foot and the sprout was immediately cut with a blade of wind . However, that was just a distraction because my real attack is in his blind spot . Two st.u.r.dy vines appeared beneath his legs and before he can even react from the attack, the vines coiled around his arms and pulled the clasped hands away from each other, causing the barrier to disappear .

"Now is my chance!"

"Too naive Kazuma!"

While being held into the vines, Catmod has no chance to use a few magic skills that involve clapping both hands together . But this time, Catmod managed to unleash a counterattack by blowing a stream of wind to my direction, creating a small gust to attack me . I did not calculate the attack of his that he can do that but I already know what he will be doing and before the gust can attack me, I unleashed a fireball to my hands to the gust and dodge from the direction the gust is moving before moving again forward towards Catmod .

Catmod whistled and a few blades of wind came and sliced the st.u.r.dy vines easily without any efforts . I have seen enough trouble and I know that Catmod is not just batting an eye on the attacks I made . However, at least I can deal enough damage to him and whittle him down . I have to deal with Catmod as long as I can .
