Physics The Greatest Magic 81 Chapter 28: Point-Blank

"80... Huh..." I muttered as I looked down at my badge number

The number displayed was 7

"I never expected there to be so many people here at the beach..." I said as I looked towards the small concretes and frozen sand on the ground.

They were stronger than I expected, some continued chanting even after they dodged my glacies. But I shouldn't be seeing any mage soon who can fight one-on-one.

"*sigh* mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble... Deprehendre" I whispered

I cast deprehendre in search of only my teamates

3 scattered lights appeared scattered around the forest. One of them was close to the beach was pretty far.

"That must be them..." I muttered

I guess I'll head for the closest one.

I wonder how everyone's doing?

As I thought that I entered the forest.

"Well... Walking will take a while so..." As I said that I reinforced my body with magic and started to run

I zoomed past the trees in a speed unnatural for a kid of my age

I never took the time to deeply think about it... But magic sure is revolutionary... I wonder what my previous world would be like if it existed... With reinforcement I'm much faster than the faster man on earth.

"It sort of feels like a cheat..." I muttered

Suddenly, I felt a chill go down my spine and stopped.

"?!"

After that, something came into contact with the tree which was right in front of me and it... Vanished?

I cast deprehendre without saying anything and looked around

Nothing, I couldn't find anyone, the nearest person was at least 30 meters away from me, there's no way they could have launched an attack and I wouldn't have noticed

Suddenly I felt another attack coming and leapt to the side. A small hole was formed on the ground where I had been stood. But I managed to catch a glimpse of it.

The effects of deprehendre were still active, that was why I managed to notice. The person who was at least 30 meters away, suddenly appeared around 10 meters in front of me and cast some sort of spell.

How?! When? Is deprehendre bugging out?

"Is it... Teleportation...?" I asked

After I said that the person slowly approached me, he had a staff in hand and I could see his characteristics. A guy... moderately long white hair which reached all the way to his ears and frost white eyes.

He was mumbling something... It's a chant!

A smirk formed on his face when I started fake chanting and propelled myself at him using velox duplici and Levite

With these two combined I may as well be moving at the speed of a bullet.

That's when I heard him mutter

"Advanced Spatial Magic: Spatii in sese unda reductos" Translation: Ripples in s.p.a.ce

What..? Did he just say spatial-

Right when I was about to hit him, he vanished

Where did he?

I rotated my body midair and gathered air on my legs and started fake chanting again. While I did I noticed that he was right in front of me. He was chanting something again

As I was about to propel myself straight at him to cancel it. I stopped. Instead of using velox to propel, myself I used it to stop my momentum and simply landed on the ground.

"?"

I took a deep breath and then started to concentrate

This guy isn't someone I should take lightly, Ripples in s.p.a.ce... I'm Sure that's what he called it, meaning if just charge in, he might teleport again.

For now, let's watch... There must be some sort of pattern to his moves something...

he had completed his chant

"Intermidiate Spatial magic: Ianuae Magicae pila" Translation: Teleport ball

6 Spheres of light were formed around him and slowly circled him

That sphere... I recognise it. It's what caused the tree to vanish... what'll happen if I get hit by that?

As I thought that, he propelled two of them straight at me

They weren't that fast. Slower than glacies. I took a leap back and to my surprise, they were following me.

Seriously!? Homing killer b.a.l.l.s?

I started to fake chant, while I leapt in the air, at the same time, I noticed that he was chanting another spell. That's when I got an idea.

"Glacies Murum" I muttered after I finished the fake chant.

A wall of ice was formed in front of me. He looked surprised when he saw it. It looks like he expected me to only have apt.i.tude for a wind element.

And just like I had predicted, he disappeared.

At the same moment, I cast Deprehendre. This time I set it to search for a distortion in the s.p.a.ce around me.

8... It was hard to tell but I could sense it... Tehre were 8 distortions in the s.p.a.ce around me, the nearest one was...

The wall of ice I had formed disappeared and one ball was heading straight at me. I ignored it and turned around

"Behind me! Glacies Lancea!" I shouted

In an instant four ice lances were formed at least one meter long in length

"! Saint-Cla.s.s Spatial Magic: Wormhole!" He shouted with a surprised expression once he noticed that I had predicted his next move

What? Saint cl?

We attacked each other from point blank at the same time
