Chapter 34: Final Episode: Fall 2
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> The walls around were inlaid with various compartments, each housing different weapons, armors, shields, and a variety of precious items, such as gemstones, necklaces, and crowns.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> The room was not large, only about a hundred square meters, yet it was filled with most of the wealth of Moon Harbor City.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> Kuziman stood in the center of the hall, beneath his feet was an incomplete magic array.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> Lynch stood just over 5 meters in front of him.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "You've arrived."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Yes, Great Mage."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "I don't know how you escaped my magic, luck? Skills? Or is there some magic item I don't know about. After all, Caso was quite fond of you, his student, giving you one or two of his collections is not surprising, but..."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "...you shouldn't stand against me again." Kuziman looked at the young mage before him, with a strange smile.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "You're right, Great Mage. But as you see, I am here, standing in front of you."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Why, my foolish child? For a Moon Harbor City, for those ignorant civilians? Those pests? Those rats eating rotten flesh in trash-filled ditches? You are a mage! A noble mage!"
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "For my friends, Great Mage."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Haha, that quasi-knight? That stinking drunken dwarf? That elf doomed to die? Or perhaps, that little tool I sent to the Underdark?"
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "..., What do you think, wise Great Mage?" Lynch raised the wizard's staff to his chest.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "I am telling you one last time, I will let your friends go, now you can get lost!"
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Yet I still stand here, Great Mage."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Hahahaha, is this the magical genius of the millennium? A clueless brat? Do you think you can defeat me? Or do you believe that last time's good luck can happen again?"
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "I, Lynch, challenge you."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Very well, then. Battle it is! I, Great Mage, Kuziman Dodger Disagangmu, high-ranking Great Mage of the Mage Guild, accept your challenge."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "I, mage apprentice, Lynch Von Dutchland, intermediate mage apprentice of the Mage Guild, now challenge you."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> Kuziman was momentarily stunned, an intermediate apprentice? How is this possible? In the ritual of mage duels, every mage swears by their power and knowledge, never to conceal or falsely report their abilities. An intermediate mage has already reached the level capable of using quasi-high order magics.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "So you've been pretending this whole time! An intermediate mage? Very well, very well, you've already become the closest to the seven Great Mages!"
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "I appreciate the compliment, Great Mage."
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "But it's still far from enough to challenge me! Kama Mime Arda!" Instantly, at least four protective spells appeared around the Great Mage, and a red beam shot towards Lynch.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> Lynch raised the magic wand and silently recited a spell; a white light shield stood before him, and the red beam fiercely struck the light shield, pushing Lynch back a step, but the white light shield rippled in concentric circles. The red beam was unable to penetrate the shield. The gust from the strong impact blew some small items off the shelf, crashing them into the wall with a rattle.
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "So you have the Great Mage's staff, Caso really dares to let you use that! Such indulgence, truly indulgent, hahaha. Seems last time you relied on this to escape, right? But, do you think that thing has any meaning to me? Mage apprentice? You'll never succeed if you over-rely on items!"
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> "Blind!" Lynch used his first spell, Command Truth (Blind).
<div style="display:none">www.cmfu.com发布</div> At the same time, the Great Mage also shouted "Blind!" When two identical spells collide, counterspelling takes effect and can cancel them out. However, due to Kuziman being a Great Mage, his prolonged spellcasting practice had granted him advanced counter-spell abilities, allowing him to make minute adjustments to cause the countered spell to backlash on his caster: Lynch.
