Chapter 634: Quick Battle


    Ang and the master level mage from Rygis, Emilia, walked to the open area and faced each other. From what Emilia’s grandmother said, Patricia, the other master level mage from Rygis, Emilia has simr personality to Ang. And she loves to spar against strong opponent.


    “She loves fighting. But after reaching master level, there’s no one else who can be a match with her except me. And since I’m her grandmother, she feels reluctant to request for a spar with me,” Patricia said.


    “Is that so? By the way, what about Emilia’s parents?” I asked Patricia.


    “They died of old age because they couldn’t reach master level,” Patricia replied casually.


    From how casual she said it, it seems that they have died a long time ago. That means Emilia could be the second oldest person in Rygis after Patricia.


    “I warn you. It’s impolite to ask ady about her age,” Patricia said before I said anything.


    “Then I will ask you another question. When were you born?” I asked.


    .....


    “I was born around... wait, that’s the same question!” Patricia said.


    “But I’m not asking your age directly,” I said.


    “And the answer is the same! Anyway, let’s watch the match. We’ll talk again after the match is over. I’m curious about how strong the one called the strongest mage in the continent is,” Patricia said.


    “And I’m also curious about the power of master level mage here. Let’s just watch the match. Victoria, get us some seat,” I said.


    There’s only Shirley, Patricia, and me watching directly on the side of the open area. The others are protecting the carriages and the horses just in case the Ang’s and Emilia’s magic is too strong and can reach them. They also moved back a bit until they feel safe.


    They are still in the range of Patricia’s detection, so it’s fine. Patricia must be thinking that if we do something suspicious, she can react quickly.


    And she must have sensed Victoria from before. Though after I said that I’m a summoner, she lets down her guard a bit. And when Victoria suddenly moved, she reacted quickly and put up her guard before she rxed again.


    “A sofa out of nowhere?” Patricia was shocked to see that a sofa was suddenly appearing in front of her.


    “It’s not out of nowhere. You’re a master level mage so you should have sensed my familiar, right? Meet Victoria. A ck Slime. And she can shapeshift into anything and make clones of herself. Please take a seat and enjoy the fight,” I said.


    Shirley and I sat on the same sofa, and I prepared another sofa for Patricia.though she prefer to stand in the end. I guess she doesn’t want to feel at disadvantage by sitting on a seat prepared by stranger.


    Well, that’s fine.


    “That’s a unique familiar your friend have over there,” Emilia said to Ang.


    “That’s not everything she can do though. But let’s ignore them and focus on our fight. Are you ready?” Ang asked.


    “Whenever you are,” Emilia said confidently.


    Seems like it’s going to start soon. There’s no need for a signal or anything.


    “Your friend might have powerful earth magic. But that’s not enough to defeat my granddaughter,” Patricia said.


    “Oh, Ang is not just an earth mage, you know. Let’s just watch the match,” I said.


    If that master level mage is not any stronger than the master level mages we trained with, the ancient Aura users who were also master level mages, then I don’t need to worry about Ang. She has managed to defeat all the master level mages on her own. An achievement that only she had. While the others can only defeat one or two, but can’t defeat the others.


    I didn’t count myself in that. I just count the mages who practiced with the master level mages using their magic only. Not using Aura.


    As for me? I would have died if I can’t defeat all of them. That’s a requirement for the fight against Timmy after all.


    “Well, I doubt she can win against my granddaughter. Emilia is strong. Her ice magic has reached master level. And her wind magic is advanced level. She can fly freely in the sky and attack using her ice magic,” Patricia said proudly.


    Is she the type of grandma who loves spoiling her granddaughter? She probably is. Though she looks younger than her granddaughter, so I’m kinda creeped out.


    “Is it okay for you to say that?” I asked.


    “It’s fine. There’s just no way that she could lose,” Patricia said.


    “Then I will tell you about Ang. She had four elements. Fire, ice, earth, and wind,” I said.


    “Had? What do you mean by that?” Patricia asked curiously.


    “After reaching advanced level in all of them, Ang tried to cultivate all four elements at the same time. She seeded and all her elements reached expert level. Except that they’re all counted as one now. We called it multielement. She’s the only one in the world who have achieved it. I believe that she has a chance to win this match,” I said.


    Multielement. But it doesn’t have all type of element like lightning, light, healing, or other element. Just fire, ice, earth, and wind. The element she had before.


    I still don’t get it after all this time. How she can make all four different element into one. And Ang being Ang, she couldn’t exin it herself.


    While Patricia is confused, the match started. Emilia and Ang quickly fly to the sky. And obviously, Ang is faster.


    Emilia cast ice magic to attack Ang. And Ang cast the same ice magic as well. The two magic shed and they’re both equal in power.


    “Oh, the victor is obvious,” I said calmly.


    “No way!” Patricia then noticed that Emilia is the weaker one.


    “No matter how long you live, you can’t win a fight even if you start as the more powerful one. You need experience as well. Seems like you have been staying in Rygis for so long and there’s no one that can test your strength anymore. So your progress is muchcking to Ang’s. The winner is obvious, but Ang seems to want to test her ice magic more,” I said after looking at the fight.


    Emilia is obviouslyck in experience. She should have known that not only her magic, but her physical strength is improved as well. But as a mage who have been fighting using magic all her life, she can’t just change her fighting style and use her superior physical strength to fight all of a sudden.


    If she had experience, she could give some trouble to Ang. Seems like they have a lot to learn these master level mages.


    “Oh, I need to remind you that the cult I’m talking about has increased the number of master level mages they have. And since the four kingdoms have started a war against them, they should have prepared and have some experience in battle as well. If you want to protect your country, you need fighting experience. Just being the stronger one in magic doesn’t mean you can win all the fight,” I said.


    “...You’re not here to threaten us with your strength, right?” Patricia asked.


    “No. As I said, we’re here for a tour. We want to perform. And if we can’t get permission, we will leave,” I said.


    While we’re talking, Emilia started to panic and she finally lost after Ang attacked her with fire magic enhanced with wind magic. Ang has done testing her ice magic it seems.


    Ang and the dejected Emiliae to us after their match is over.


    “I won,” Ang said.


    “Yeah, I can see that.”


    Meanwhile, Emilia is being consoled by Patricia. They know now that the world is bigger than they think. An expert level mage can defeat a master level mage. Even though the master level mage could be much older than the expert level mage.


    “Don’t be so down. With your strength, you can still be called as one of the strongest mage in the continent. All you need is experience,” I said.


    “Yeah. It’s obvious from that match. Emilia, send this letter to the president. And you need to tell everything that happened here to her. I’ll have a chat with them here while waiting for the respond,” Patricia said.


    “...Yes, Grandma.”


    Emilia flies toward the city. Obviously less energetic than when she’s approaching us before.


    “I wrote a letter to our president. And I wrote it positively in hope that you can get permission toe. Though I want to ask you something as well. If you don’t mind, can you spar with us in your spare moment,” Patricia asked.


    Shortly after the match, I exchanged information with Patricia a bit more before she wrote down a letter to give to the one in charge of Rygis. It wasn’t much information, but I think that’s enough to give some information to them about the outside world.


    “Just a spar? Well, I don’t mind. Ang and Shirley would love to improve as well. As for the other circus members, they are not as strong as these two. But you may ask them for instruction. They may ept it,” I said.


    “...but most of them are men,” Patricia said in a low voice.


    It’s here. So we’re right. As someone who is most likely live in Rygis the longest, she should have some hatred toward men. And she showed it here. Though her voice is so low that no one but me can hear her.


    Let’s dig up more info from her while waiting for her granddaughter to return.
