My Magic Age

Ivan held up the pale golden magic shield and stood in the square passage in front of the gate of the Tower of Pride. On both sides stood marble houses with a diameter of about two meters and a height of more than 20 meters. Under the reflection of the golden magic light, when I turned to leave, I saw that iron-blue face became extremely distorted. The hatred in his eyes towards me was like a burning flame. He stood in the golden eggshell with his hands clenched into fists.

"Fireball"

When I felt a ball of hot fireball suddenly condensed behind me, Ivan had already released the instant magic "Fireball" in his hand at the first time, and in the cold midnight, he cast the spell silently behind me. He activated the "Time Stagnation" magic, which originally only took more than a second to cast, and completely transformed the "Fireball" that originally only took more than a second to cast into an instant magic. If I hadn't felt that the fire magic in the air behind me suddenly became extremely chaotic, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed Ivan's sneak attack at all.

The scorching flame raised a long tail behind me, like a meteor in the night sky, smashing towards me.

“Petrified skin”, the turquoise drum totem appeared beside me like a small and exquisite light green lantern, and my whole body was instantly covered with a layer of rock patterns.

Although I didn't turn around to look, I could feel the magic fluctuations of the scorching fireball with my sharp 'magic perception'. The fireball flew much faster than ordinary feather arrows in the air. I knew that in the next second, I would be completely engulfed by the fireball. At this time, I didn't even have the chance to activate the 'Ice Shield'. When the heat wave of the fireball made the skin on the back of my neck feel a tingling pain, my body suddenly disappeared completely...

In the dim night, I turned into a shadow of nothingness, and my body became completely transparent. I felt the fireball pass through my chest, with a long tail, rushing straight to the stone steps at the end of the stone corridor. Just above the stone steps, there was a loud 'bang' sound, and a fireball exploded like fireworks.

Ivan shouted in disbelief and fear behind me: "This is impossible!"

Yes, how could a sneak attack that gambled on the dignity of a magician noble fail? How could it fail?

The various privileges of the nobles in the Green Empire are actually for the common people. For example, killing a pariah is just a fine, or if you don't control your lower body and forcefully sleep with a girl from a commoner family, you may not even have to pay a fine. Although it will damage the family's reputation, if it is handled properly, there will be no substantial punishment. This is like the common people facing the slaves living at the bottom, and they also have the same privileges as the nobles. This is the gap between the various classes of the empire.

However, in the laws of the Green Empire, fighting between nobles is not allowed. The laws between nobles are very strict, just like Ivan has already touched the laws of the Green Empire. If he sneak attacks behind others, if the arbitration office of the Magic Guild finds out that the matter is true, Ivan will face inquiries from the arbitration office. If the content is verified, Ivan will be punished by the Magic Guild.

For me, the dark night is my real home, because I can blend into any shadow and disappear completely.

Ivan stood in the golden magic shield, his eyes out of focus, looking around blankly, not knowing what to do for a moment. However, after just a few breaths, he gradually began to calm down. Standing in the magic shield, he carefully moved his body, letting his back stick to the marble column. At this time, Ivan exhaled gently, and then, he felt that even this was not safe, so he began to prepare another unknown magic.

Just look at those cumbersome fire magic runes on his fingertips, released one by one, connected together to form a very complicated fire magic array.

Ivan seemed to be very cautious in reciting the awkward spell. As he continued to recite the spell, a huge vortex of fire magic elements gradually formed around his body, and it kept gathering powerful fire magic energy with Ivan's body as the center. His eyes had already revealed a cruel look. Countless fire magic elements formed a huge vortex of mana with Ivan as the center, and kept condensing towards the center. The place where Ivan stood was already the most densely populated place of fire magic elements.

At this time, I saw him stretch out a finger, and his eyes were nervously staring at the bean-sized flame on the tip of his finger. Just when I was caught off guard, Ivan once again recited the most incisive spell.

This bean-sized flame was ignited all at once, and it actually detonated all the fire elements in the space of ten meters around Ivan's body, but Ivan was hiding safely in the magic shield, avoiding the attack of the "explosive fire technique".

To me, this heat wave was like a sudden burst of hot white light. The powerful air waves and the embers of the flames spread outward, forming a huge red light circle, like an extremely huge fire ring.

And I stood in the heat wave of the flames, slowly revealing my figure like black mist. At this moment, three ice shields quickly condensed in front of my body, but these ice shields quickly melted under the absolutely hot flames.

This made me stand in the circle of the 'Explosion Fire', and I was burned by the powerful fire magic released by Ivan, and my whole body was burning. I didn't expect that Ivan's 'Explosion Fire' could break my shadow magic. It seemed that the center area of ​​the Explosion Fire had slowly changed from the extreme fire to a hot white light. It was precisely those weak white lights that made me reveal my figure as I approached.

There was a sea of ​​fire under my feet, and Ivan was just relying on a magic shield and standing in the center of the sea of ​​fire. When he saw me reveal my true self, he showed a look of surprise on his face, and quickly manipulated the flames around him, turning into three fire snakes and flying towards me. Under Ivan's precise control, the three fire snakes suddenly seemed to come alive, twisting their bodies flexibly and completely dispersing, appearing and disappearing in the sea of ​​fire, and trapping me from three directions.

The temperature around me continued to rise. I felt that I might be burned to charcoal by Ivan in the next second. I gritted my teeth and took out a scroll of 'Frost Nova'. I didn't dare to hesitate any more. I spread it with both hands quickly. A touch of cold air burst out from the magic scroll. It first burst out suddenly at one point, and then formed a silver halo that kept spreading outward. The temperature around me dropped suddenly. However, the power of the 'Frost Nova' scroll was far from being comparable to the 'Explosive Flame' released by Ivan. It was just to extinguish the flames of a few square meters around my body, and the magic power of the 'Frost Nova' was exhausted.

I thought to myself that Ivan was worthy of being a second-year student of the Royal Magic Academy. His methods were really endless. He even learned this second-level high-level magic. I admired him very much. Sure enough, the students who could enter the Royal Magic Academy were all elites.

Ivan saw that my 'Frost Nova' magic scroll had extinguished part of the surrounding sea of ​​fire, but it was not big after all. Seeing that my magic scroll was very ordinary, Ivan began to look pleased. He stood in the center of the sea of ​​fire, gathering the power of the fire element and preparing to brew the next magic. There was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

But before Ivan could be happy for long, I took out another 'Frost Nova' scroll from my waist bag and unfolded it without hesitation. A ring-shaped cold air burst out from around my body again.

"I really want to know how many ice magic scrolls you brought. In my opinion, you'd better surrender obediently, so as not to suffer." Ivan hid in the magic shield and said to me coldly.

Before he could finish his words, I had already unfolded the third 'Frost Nova' scroll... followed by the fourth magic scroll... the fifth, sixth, seventh...

While Ivan was stunned, I had already thrown the 'Frost Nova' magic scroll all the way, and actually smashed out a 'Frost Trail'.

Holding the Shura Axe, I walked towards him step by step. There was only a layer of light yellow magic shield between us. I grinned and sneered at Ivan, raised the Shura Axe in my hand high in front of him, and smashed it hard at the light yellow eggshell around his body...

Ivan never thought that I would smash several "Frost Nova" magic scrolls along the way, directly extinguishing most of the sea of ​​fire under my feet, and then rush up savagely, trying to break the solid magic shield around his body with a sharp axe. At this time, Ivan, who was standing inside the magic shield, was so scared by my full momentum that he fell to the ground, looked up at me in horror, and couldn't say a word for a while.

Although, in front of me, the magic shield did not break, it was obvious that Ivan's inner world was completely collapsed.

The two of us made such a big noise outside the Tower of Pride. When Ivan used the 'Explosion Flame', the strong light and shadow effect had attracted the attention of many people. Even some people in the Tower of Pride felt that there were several figures approaching me in the dark. I suddenly lost the mood to smash the shield. I thought, even if I opened the magic shield, what would it matter? Can I chop him down with an axe in front of everyone?

And it is obvious that Ivan was born in an aristocratic family in the imperial capital. Those knights in the guard camp could not fail to notice this. For an outsider like me, even if I have the halo of the Royal Magic Academy, they will never embarrass Ivan. And I will inevitably be questioned. Don't think about sleeping tonight.

Thinking of this, I stopped in front of Ivan, then bared my teeth at him, sneered and said to him: "Take those little tricks of yours and stay away from me. Don't let me see you next time."

Straightened up, put the axe in my hand into the magic waist bag, turned around and walked towards Yulin Street without any hesitation, thinking in my heart, I hope there will be a carriage back to the Royal Magic Academy at this late hour...

...

In fact, as for Ivan's sneak attack, I began to be careful and guard against it the moment I turned around and left. Although I don't think Ivan is brave enough to sneak attack a magic noble in secret, it is always better to be prepared. So when I walked forward along the marble corridor, I kept reciting a very familiar spell "Shadow Cloak" in my mouth, and my hands inside the wide sleeves of the magic robe were also drawing the magic pattern array.

This is the only magic that I can cast while moving, but I have been reciting the first half of the spell over and over again, and the hand in the sleeve is also drawing the magic pattern of the "Shadow Cloak", but every time I draw it halfway, I stop and end it, and then start again.

It is because of this that I can react immediately to Ivan's sneak attack, and then turn into "Shadow Black Mist" to avoid Ivan's sneak attack.

I can imagine that he looks down on them in his heart. As for the people in the northern provinces, for the nobles in the imperial capital, people from the northern border exude a wildness and fierceness that only barbarians and orcs can have. To put it nicely, they are unruly, and to put it bluntly, they are barbaric and uncivilized.

However, it seems that he has learned some lessons from our previous team battle and is afraid of my skills, so he has been secretly holding the "Magic Shield" scroll, just waiting for me to be furious under his taunts and hit him, and then he will immediately open the Magic Shield scroll to block my first wave of rapid attacks.

Perhaps, in Ivan's heart, he still vaguely believes that the real reason for their team's failure in the team battle in the arena of the Magic Ecological Park is because they met the priest and the water magician. Such a team with dual healing ability is very powerful in combat endurance. I also know that many magicians in the Royal Magic Academy who heard about this team battle attributed the victory of the battle to the fact that our team has a priest. Otherwise, how could a freshman team that had just entered the Royal Magic Academy to study be able to defeat a team composed of pure fire magicians in the second grade of the Warrior Academy?

Perhaps it was in such discussions that Ivan had some new ideas in his heart.

I'm not sure how far my guesses are from Ivan's real thoughts, but just when I turned around, I saw some clues in his angry eyes. Combined with some rumors that were circulated privately in the academy before, I think Ivan will not give up so easily. Moreover, he has torn open an expensive magic scroll, and it is unlikely to be wasted in vain. So when I turned around and left, I began to be secretly on guard.

I didn't expect that he would actually dare to attack me.

Seeing me leave without looking back, Ivan, who fell on the marble floor, had a more intense hatred in his eyes...
