Chapter 255

Kuh!

Zich barely managed to escape from the explosion, and looked terrible. His whole body was flushed red and pus oozed out. The scorched areas of his body were crumpled and exposed the bones underneath. However, the bones that were supposed to be white were burnt black.

I am going to die at this rate. Zich hurriedly gulped down some potions. The pain disappeared; as expected of Karuwimans top-rate potions, their effectiveness was on another level.

Ah, I suddenly want to really see Lubella right now. If she were here, she would have been able to heal Zichs injuries instantly. Walwiss attacks were so brutal that Zich began to miss Lubella, whom he usually treated as the zombie maker.

Lyla wouldnt even be able to compare against him. Of course, Lyla would be more than able to catch up to Walwiss given the time, but currently, in terms of skills, Walwiss was above her in every aspect. Yet, Zich couldnt continue his private, half-escapist thoughts for long.

Whoosh! The fireballs rushed toward him again. Zich quickly took out a new robe and hid his body. The current robe he was wearing including his clothes were now handfuls of ash. The only thing he managed to save was his magic box. Thankfully, the explosion created a cloud of dust that covered the view and hid Zichs face from becoming exposed.

Slam!

A fireball struck the area where Zich used to be.

I should avoid fighting head-on.

Breaking just one fireball almost cost him his life. Choosing to fight head-on after that would be a stupid decision. Zich evaded the fireball that was coming from behind him. However, he couldnt keep escaping. Not only were the fireballs extremely fast, but there were also many of them.

Slid!

Zich took out some daggers and threw them towards Walwiss who was hovering in the air. However, the remaining fireballs around Walwiss moved and blocked his view.

Crackle! The daggers rapidly melted inside the fireball.

Its an all-in-one type of magic. I wont be able to scratch him at all with some shabby attacks.

The situation turned a bit grimmer. However, Walwiss didnt even begin to officially attack.

Wool! Cro! Shin! Win! Kul! Woen! Walwiss started his incantation.

Hes adding more magic on top of everything. Its too much, damn it! Zich hoped that the fireballs would stop moving or at least halt a bit during the incantation, but it was futile. The fireballs continued to swiftly move and hit Zich.

Swoop! Swoop! Swoop! Swoop!

New fireballs formed in the air. Their sizes were comparably smaller than the ones that were continually swooping down on Zichthey were about the size of an adult mans fist. However, Zich couldnt feel relieved. To compensate for their small size, the small fireballs boasted its incredible numberto the point that the sky seemed to have been colored in raging red.

Ah, please tell me its not what I think. Zich thought. However, since the beginning of this battle, hope had been completely turning its blind eye to him.

Whoosh! Walwiss staffs movements dyed the sky red and small fireballs plummeted to the ground. It would have probably been an incredibly beautiful sight from far away. Perhaps, it could have looked like an asteroid drawing a beautiful line across the sky or a giant firefly landing on the ground. But for Zich, it was a hellish sight that would have left him unsatisfied even after hours of swearing.

Babababababam!

The sound of crashing and explosions showed no signs of resting. Red flashes bloomed and disappeared on the ground like flowers with short lifespans. The Jaewick familys garden was already in a state that it could no longer be called a garden in any form or logic. It wasnt even in a ruin. A magma lake had formed over the melted ground, and the place looked like the early days of Hell that descended onto the human world.

Crash!

The last fireball struck the floor and ended the magic.

Wayne had been looking at the magic show through the hole that Walwiss made inside the mansion, and he asked with a trembling voice, Do you think he will be alive? He couldnt imagine that the mysterious trespasser would be alive after those monstrous spells.

I hope so. Orland thought the same thing as Wayne. His eyes lingered on the devastated garden and shot towards his father.

As the master of the magical tower, Orland had always tried to calmly lead the different schools of magic as much as possible. Although he often butted heads with Orland over Elenas education from time to time, their fights usually ended with yelling at most. For that reason, people began to grow comfortable around Walwiss, or in more negative terms, they began to think that he was a pushover. Even though they knew he was an amazing mage inside their minds, it had been a long time since they saw him display his skills.

Now
