Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 66:
“On whose commission, have you come?”
Oliver slowly approached Helene . He appeared to be serene, but inside the gloves, his hands were already moist with sweat .
“I know that you are not someone that will act on own volition . ”
Finally, the two reached each other within a handshake distance .
The differences in their sizes were striking .
However, what about the difference in their powers?
“What will a mere knight, such as you, do?”
It was the same Helene’s voice of the old days . There were no longer any dark spots around the eyes . The personality has also returned to normalcy . The only difference was the absolute, blind loyalty to the tower lord, as a result of the much advanced black magic’s influence .
“Have you been hit in the head with an arrow?”
“What an impossible woman to be talking to . ”
“Yeah?!”
Oliver’s questioning ended there . From this moment on, everything that he does will go down the ‘history for the first time’ . The first prose of the story will be ‘Oliver dared to launch the initial attack against a high ranking sorcerer’ .
Chi-Chang!
Of course, battling wasn’t an easy path . Her staff was stronger than steel, her physical strength and reactive speed, in countering the sudden sword attack, were much more advanced than that of a skilled knight . The power was certainly come from the innate talent, supported by sorcery and mana .
Keeanng! Kkang! Keeaanng!
Helene retreated from Oliver’s continuous, irregular attacks . Instantly distancing herself from Oliver, she summoned magic immediately .
“Pyro-blast . ”
Six huge, fiery **** of bullets came, flying into Oliver’s direction . For an ordinary knight, it would have been impossible to dodge such a high level of multi-shooting magic as Helene showed an aura of confidence in her face .
“Die well . ”
However, her wishful thinking wasn’t to be . Who was Oliver? He was, after all, the ‘swordsman with the skill to cut thru fire’, which even Ian used to tell was a skill that only exists in mythical stories, in his earnest astonishment .
Shook!
A gigantic fireball was sliced into two halves and diagonally broke apart . It was like as if a passage has been opened thru walls of fire that was surrounding Oliver . Oliver dashed out of the fire through the opening and fiercely reengaged .
“Cut, cut thru fire?”
It was the sword skill that even Ian was astonished about . Forgetting what’s happening, Helene murmured . But, she could not remain in shock for very long . Strengthened by mana, Oliver’s every bit of muscles, veins and joints created movements that are faster and stronger than many ferocious beasts .
“Aaah!”
Sorcerer must maintain distance at all times . Of course it wasn’t an easy task . Applying a few spells could create the needed distance even when a knight encroaches with all his might . That was the biggest difference between a sorcerer and a knight . However, this advantage did not work on Ian at all .
Sheekang! Kiang! Kang!
It was fast .
It was very, very fast .
He was even more agile than when he sparred with Ian last . No matter how a sorcerer tried to create the distance, he was already anticipating, be it ten or hundred paces, at every time .
