Chapter 84: Light and Darkness, Good and Evil (1)
ub2jwCanis, clearing his mind of distractions, glared at Shirone. His pretty face, looking like he never faced hardships, twisted Canis’s gut.4A4sue0
88RmaAmHmph. You think of me as a villain. But…XQVtPvV
w5xN1From Caniss shadow, Might of Darkness arose. Despite being diminished by the lighting magic, its regeneration rate was tremendous.XhdxON
IhiTo me, you are the evil!Fr0
IpJhAs Might of Darkness surged, Shirone cleaned the ground with Photon Output. He then threw the Photon Cannon he had mounted on his right hand. Harvest intercepted it, absorbing the impact with his body. The Photon Cannon burrowed into Harvest’s torso, pushing him back into the forest. But rather than being affected, Harvest provocatively wriggled its long fingers at Shirone.29CW1
44A3Kikikiki. Come on, come in.mpnQSe
k1t7dThough the forest was practically a home ground for a dark mage, Shirone rushed in without hesitation. He then launched dozens of photons from left to right, right to left, above his head.8J0qL0a
yZ4iTDudududududu! Dudududududu!tjMimqP
G4qHOver a hundred lighting rounds pierced the forest canopy, lighting up the sky like day. Nade and Yiruki looked at the bright sky in disbelief.39OMDm
X8ImI7PThat guy, hes really set off.0vDeX1
CABzHe knows, right? If Shirone cant stop him, we lose.oToE
d03BYiruki slowly shifted his gaze. Lucas was following Shirone into the forest. As he spotted a gray smoke rising ahead, he leaped quickly. An Atomic Bomb exploded with a bang, and Lucas, who had jumped back 10 meters, glared at Yiruki with menacing eyes.ZyhW
L9lYou!kgxo
2Ydks6aDont do anything unnecessary. We’re already thinking what youre thinking. Just stay put there.FPFrQaP
J8dGThat’s ridiculous.XR8u5
Oa6DQxiEven if he was immature, a mere magic trainee facing off against a B-class fugitive was absurd. Lucas drew his twin swords, producing a swishing sound. His Spirit Zone, transmitted through Schema, flared like burning wood.bsPaWX2
ueBxZIXThe human body, enhanced by Schema, has infinite potential, but unbalanced enhancement can lead to severe side effects. Most use verified builds.YMC1zdk
iOBMHA lopsided build destroys the body. For example, too much enhancement of the nervous system could lead to muscle ruptures as they fail to keep up with the nerves’ speed.NPS
iuelLucass current build, the Mitochondria Build, boosted the energy factories of cells, momentarily increasing energy efficiency.exiy
hkZQQEThough it rapidly drains stamina, the overall enhancement of the body is appealing, making it a base build for most users.DjFG
xlvMve5It could be dangerous…69v
PLGpP3xYiruki observed Nade’s condition. Nade’s cold eyes reminded Yiruki of the summer five years ago. On a day of heavy rain, the two had clashed. It was a miracle Nade could smile now. He would probably never show his old face again. He hated the face that resembled the person he loved the most in the world.nbH1tPq
NR2wjntBe careful, Nade. Hes a Schema user.td9O
pSr7JwOI know. Lets increase our firepower and suppress him early.OeuCOv
q2vONLPLucas was incredulous. ‘Be careful’ is a phrase for avoiding puddles or crossing rickety bridges, not for situations where your neck might be sliced off by a sword.fTQ6Pkj
SFjrMZAh, these kids nowadaysbK3ZdT
GZEuAs Lucas scratched his head, his figure blurred. Simultaneously, a golden flash arose between Nade and Yiruki. Teleportation sparked, and they appeared 10 meters away from Lucas. Yiruki checked his chest. His clothes were sharply cut, and blood seeped from a line across his chest.40rrVA
uhyZUGYou okay?STgzNu
4JIYh40It’s not fatal. But hes really fast.AhgV
rstFEEven if magic is transcendental, a mages body is human. Excluding magic effects, reacting and responding to a Schema swordsmans movements is naturally challenging.L7U
XKYGMdConversely, the same applies to swordsmen. The force of magic cannot be endured by Schema. Even a student-level spell, if it hits, could be lethal.H2nKNw
5jsG0YNade and Yiruki concentrated their firepower. A chain explosion of Atomic Bombs snaked through, and Nade calculated and launched predictive shots at Lucas. However, Lucas’s movement, entirely different from the mechanical patterns trained at the school, was too elusive for direct hits.3Su9Er
oplxTDamn! Why am I outmatched by kids?afmvzF6
QZsdLucas was not in a comfortable situation either. Due to the Mitochondria Build, his stamina was dropping by the second.fIzF6c
AKPBoosting his energy metabolism, his speed increased significantly. Swiftly circumventing a wide radius, he leaped from Yiruki’s side, swinging his twin swords. Nade extended his hands, and Electric Shock magic struck Lucas’s abdomen, vibrating his body at a rate of 60 times per second.Nob
ple3yYiruki, now!nZfJ
soaQYiruki was already prepared. As Lucas, stunned, had gray smoke rising from his face, he tried to move desperately. His muscles felt charred, unable to generate strength.YwpVn
SZiDamn it! Damn it!34h2F
ewjFacing death against mere kids was unthinkable. No, was he really going to die? Facing an unexpected situation, he felt a loss of reality.2PsbO
PnQf0ovYiruki was certain it was over. The detonation reaction confirmed it wasnt a rash decision. But suddenly, the Spirit Zone vanished. Before he could figure out why, his legs started to go numb. Unbeknownst to him, someone else’s shadow had connected to his feet. It was unmistakably Arin’s handiwork.6N3
SwyDamn it!Ff90
sXn9Lucas escaped the vibrating shock with all his might and charged at Nade, who had humiliated him. His anger, having reached the brink of death, was at its peak, and his charged swords gleamed menacingly.eRQyE
FKd0TNade, run!Oxt2dTW
L1KatNade, caught in the blades, still generated electricity in his hands. As Lucas swung his swords for a double attack, unexpectedly thick ice pillars erupted beside Nade.1SSz
XdYiBipClang! The swords stuck in the ice. Lucas’s eyes shook with shock. His swordsmanship could split rocks, but now he couldnt cut through mere ice.ZWzo
Orri58Slowly turning around, Lucas saw a familiar face. The female teacher he had thrown off the cliff earlier.zAB
Z5i3igTeacher Siena!M4uw5
AIUNade, visibly relieved, shouted. But Siena remained silent, her eyes emotionless, focused solely on Lucas.TmD
3ogcHaah. Haah.btObwjF
S4HnVEthella, leaning against a tree trunk, looked ready to collapse. She had been in a chase for 30 minutes, yet couldnt completely shake off Arcane.9nIqp
tHLThe poison is spreading. I can’t delay treatment any longer.Twjw
9ULSitting down, Ethella tore the waist of her nun’s habit. Black blood flowed from a scar above her navel. It was a wound from Poison Cutter. She had been stalling the poison’s spread with breathing techniques, but it was only a temporary solution. She needed to suck the poison out, but it was a difficult area to reach with her mouth.cnTITO
mb4EE0bBending her back, Ethella stretched her hands behind and gripped the tree trunk, then curled her spine. Her hips rose off the ground, bending her waist dramatically. Twisting her body into a spiral, she finally reached her navel with her lips.r54yu63
05RbjtgEthella pushed all the toxins in her body towards the wound. Filling her lungs with air, she sucked on the wound. As the poison was drawn out, she experienced searing pain. Grimacing, she lifted her head and spat out the poison. The black blood fell on the grass, instantly drying it.zhRhtYe
pFlZL6Ethellas face regained some color. She threw off her askew glasses and wrapped her torn habit around her fist.ywP
ljZpWhew. Now I can live a bit longer.7raJ7v
P6DvruKAs her Spirit Zone stabilized, she felt the energies around her through synesthesia. Opening her eyes wide, she leaped up. Dozens of pitch-black hands emerged from the ground.khxnRW3
mUZi89qHe’s already this close…X2R0q
LRmLWeThe fact that Arcane, an expert in tracking, could relentlessly pursue a Zoner like her proved how agile a dark archmage could become when merged with darkness.cslAey
R5dOThe poisons gone, I see. The more I see, the more I like you.af7
gp4yDgArcane emerged from the darkness. But Ethella no longer needed to flee.PISF
U4TWridFrom now on, it wont be easy.0q2BL
B6sReady to fight for real? Then I won’t hold back and enjoy it.hYn5
mqyrkTEthella pushed strength into her fist, charging the Ethereal Resonance Fist. Arcane quickly noticed her change. She had completely abandoned her Spirit Zone.egN7TW
fJ21A mage handles Spirit Zone, a swordsman Schema. But monks train both simultaneously. A monk’s existence is not about reaching higher but embracing the world with the broadest heart.2FIXFH
5fBUArcane disliked this. Had she focused on one field from the start, there would be no one on the continent who didnt know her name.8Rd2tnA
SeHEAz8Such a pity. Why choose asceticism with talent that could reach the summit? But I suppose its pointless to say this to someone who never intended to climb.IsrU
ZcZArcane extended his hand, chanting a spell. Against a Schema-using opponent, he had a specific countermeasure.8i0V1
U8lNMinions of Darkness.Oqg5Dis
zfcIbzCountless spiders crawled out of the forest shadows. The sight of spiders as big as human heads swarming was spine-chilling.BtaH1gg
GARqGrrrrrrrrr!0nc
m0WtaDThe true value of Minions of Darkness was just beginning. A Dark Golem over three meters tall rose beside Arcane.UYWsvu
8LqRIts face was buried in its shoulders, and its body and limbs were swollen as if wrapped in yarn. Its arms were long, legs short.wpLFe
ip7gMinions of Darkness was a spell that converted 100% mental power into physical force. Unlike Might of Darkness, which absorbs external energy, it wasn’t immune to light but was incredibly powerful at night.TFrvl
78AX02Go, my minions.UIiOxr
8mdThe Dark Spiders initiated the attack. As they clumped together, it was impossible to tell how many were moving.I8Q
vCEELEthella jabbed and flicked the spiders in all directions. A straight punch into the cluster created an explosion, scattering the shadows.GbHzN1n
ftGEeGrrrrrrrr!5IYHXcv
8GCfrDark Golem charged through the dispersing spiders. As Ethella leaped like a squirrel, the Golems thick forearm slammed into the ground.OJS2m
UZ3fBang!2cIjyG
M8SA shock surged through Arcane’s mind as the equilibrium was disrupted.jwVSB
