Chapter 77: Tier Two Magic - High-Temperature Annihilation!

After a few courteous words, both of them turned their gaze toward the grand wizard, who was acting as the referee.

Herlram showed no intention of delay and spoke directly, "Let's begin!"

The moment those words were spoken, Lynn took the initiative. Seizing the advantage was crucial in any battle. In an instant, seven Magic Missiles materialized, shooting like arrows from a drawn bow.

Rohl furrowed his brow, feeling a hint of dissatisfaction. Using Tier Zero magic for probing in an official wizard's duel seemed a bit disrespectful.

[Minor - Magic Shield]

Rohl casually raised his hand, forming a magical barrier before him. However, to his surprise, these seven Magic Missiles curved, avoiding the protective barrier and approaching from both sides.

Caught off guard, Rohl's pupils contracted, but his reaction speed was no less impressive. Almost instantly, an invisible magic shield enveloped him, blocking the Magic Missiles. They created ripples upon impact but failed to breach it.

This was Tier Two magic, the "Mage Shield"! However, before Rohl could catch his breath, the second wave of "Magic Barrage" was already upon him.

This time, Lynn didn't hold back. The magical spheres were merely shells, with highly combustible elements mixed inside. Upon collision, they exploded! The sound of multiple muffled explosions filled the training ground.

The magical protective wall was breached instantly, and cracks appeared on Rohl's Mage Shield.

"Is this really 'Magic Missile'?" Eilock, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but exclaim.

The other wizard apprentices were equally astounded. They were familiar with the "Magic Missile" spell, a basic element of their studies. However, its power was usually underwhelming, so it was rarely used.

But Lynn was now using this Tier Zero magic in a battle between official wizards, and the power was astonishing!

Lynn, still in overload mode, sensed the increase in the strength of Rohl's protective magic and noticed his diminishing mental energy reserves. He decided to finish the battle swiftly.

In an instant, a total of thirty-six Magic Missiles hovered in the air. This was the limit of his casting! This single attack was already on par with Tier Three magic!

Rohl watched the approaching magical spheres with a grave expression. He raised his index finger and slightly trembled it in the air, causing an invisible wave to spread forward in a semicircular shape.

The thirty-six Magic Missiles exploded in mid-air before even reaching him. The continuous explosions reverberated throughout the training ground.

Eilock and others who thought Lynn was on the verge of winning were left dumbfounded, unable to make sense of the situation. Had the professor made a mistake while casting his spell? How could it explode before it even reached the enemy?

"As expected!" A smirk crept onto Rohl's lips. After this brief battle, he had already identified the weakness of this magic.

While Lynn had turned the Magic Missiles into explosive devices, it had made the spell itself extremely unstable. It only required a slight application of force to disrupt the surface shell, causing it to explode spontaneously.

Now, it was time for Rohl to strike back. And he did so in a mocking manner!

At the moment of the explosion of dozens of Magic Missiles, Rohl activated a Tier Zero spell, [Water Solidification], causing countless yellow-green water droplets to appear around him. Riding on the dust and smoke generated by the explosions, these droplets shot toward Lynn like a continuous barrage.

Realizing that his magic had been countered, Lynn immediately deployed one of the few protective spells he had mastered - [Curtain of Ice]! A wall of ice emerged, blocking the oncoming attack.

However, when the smoke from the explosions cleared, Lynn quickly noticed something was amiss. The opponent's attack seemed different from what he had expected.

Rohl clenched his fist, and countless yellow-green water droplets burst instantly, transforming into a high-temperature, highly toxic, and highly corrosive steam that enveloped Lynn directly.

This was Tier Two advanced magic - [High-Temperature Annihilation]!
