Chapter 86: Crazy Battle! Blood Rage Upgrade!
Tron, as well as the trees body inter structure started to change as ice begun to spread from the Frost blade all the way to every tips of its branches and roots. Its cells started to freeze as its body and branches transmuted into an ice sculpture tree.
"BANG!"
Tron along with the massive tree wide enough that three adult male would have to wrap their hand around exploded with a massive burst.
Ice shards exploded in all directions, like the shrapnels of a grenade. The mages around quickly manifested their magic circle and activated their forcefield in the process.
The fragments spammed into various colored forcefield and then dropped to. The ground as their kinetic energy faded.
"Suuu!"
The others gasped as they saw this. Tron was actually defeated in a single move! The way he spoke earlier and behaved, they actually thought he wouldn't be defeated easily.
"Tron!"
Selene gasped as her eyes turned teary while Morgan's face was frozen in disbelief. She didn't think Tron would actually die just like that. Was it because of his pride he didn't let want to let her help and simply perished in such a a... She couldn't find a word for it.
"What a shame, I truly thought the slave would put up more of a fight. I guess I overestimated him." Eric snorted as the flare his magical circle emanated receded and the energy outburst radiating from his body reduced.
The entire forest turned quiet and the student nearby didn't know what to say or think. From Tron's behavior, they had thought he would at possess a little bit of strength but from the current looks of things, he didn't seem to possess even the strength to even delay his death by a second.
"What a pity. I was actually looking to watch an interesting battle." One of the spectators whispered.
Another shook their head in disappointment. "I came here to waste my time."
Just as everyone was feeling different emotions with most of them been of disappointment a voice suddenly rangout.
"I didn't expect your conjuring speed to be that slow Eric."
"What!?"
Eric's face change slightly as he looked up. On a nearby ancient tree, Tron was actually standing at the top of on an ancient tree just two hundred meters away from him. Casually staring down at him with a soft smile in his face.
"How did he reach there?"
Eric stared at the shattered tree and his expression turned ugly.
"An after image."
Selene laughed in joy. While Morgana heaved a sigh of relief.
"He's alive!"
The surrounding students had various expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"What terrifying speed."
"What sort of spell did he use to achieve such speed."
"Could it be the Substitution Spell?"
"I don't think so, the spell is a Rank 3 spell. No matter how talented he is, it would take more than a minute for a 9th-circle magus to cast."
"No, it might actually be his physical strength. See he didn't actually use any spell."
"Are you telling me, Tron is actually a Body Magus? I didn't think people would actually waste their time on such a branch."
Eric's face was ugly. He didn't even see how Tron had moved. Wouldn't that mean Tron was actually more powerful than he was?
The brain wave and mental capacity of a magus increases as they advance. It was to the extent that they could even calculate countless possibilities and and predict the future ahead once they reach a level.
It was what allowed them to react quickly to anything, cast spell immediately and even use a steal projection once their mental capacity had increased to a terrifying level.
Immediately, Eric's brain went into overdrive as he thought about the multiple possibilities and came up with the most likely conclusion.
"A body magus with the physical strength, speed and physique of a real magus."
"Hahaha. An actual slave trying to become a body Magus and not even a Runic magus. It's truly laughable. It seems you have no idea why such a profession shut down long ago did you. Now let me lecture you and show you what a true Magus is!"
Eric yelled. An enormous pressure burst out of him like a tsunami. His six magical circle flared with blue mist like aura as tens of ice swords appeared in mid-air.
"Go!"
The barrage of frost blades descended upon Tron like an avalanche, each one carrying the weight of Eric's immense magical energy. The ground quaked, freezing over as a layer of ice expanded outward, consuming everything in its path. Trees shattered like brittle glass, their fragments raining down in a crystalline cascade.
"BOOM!" "BOOM!" "BOOM!" The force of the attacks echoed violently, shaking the earth beneath them. Each explosion of magical power sent shockwaves through the area, sending loose debris and snow flying in all directions.
Everybody in the Thorn team held their breath. They knew how powerful Eric was. A 6th-circle magus was someone far beyond any of them. This attack was enough to instantly obliterate any one below the 7th-cirle!
They did not know whether or not Tron could endure it…
Their gazes were filled with worry as they watched Tron's figure. The latter remained motionless against the sharp swords that rushed over.
Tron's black eyes reflected the overwhelming Frost blades as well as Eric's appearance.
"Rage!"
