Chapter 22 (1/2)
Mightiest Melee Magician
Chapter 22
Herb of Awakening, Burning Flower.
As this potion exhibited an explosive awakening effect that allowed the user to exceed their bodily limits, it also carried a fatal weakness.
Which was pain suppression.
Just hearing about it may make it sound like an upside.
However, this was only an upside to soldiers who had resolved themselves for death.
And in this place where the flow of magic power was suppressed by 99%, in the , this ability was not an upside, but a downside.
At least when fighting against me.
He shouldn’t have drunk this potion.
Why?
‘My strength isn’t suppressed at all.’
A whopping +++
If you were hit by my fist that could face evenly against an ogre, all the damage would be taken by the body without being about to feel the pain.
“I’m coming, Michael.”
I used to instantly leap towards Michael.
As if having waited for me, Michael used his specialty to show off his double casting.
In one hand, an Ice Wall.
In the other, a Fire Barrier.
Ching! Fwoosh!
The two conflicting elements rapidly flowed out from Michael, and…
Crrrrrash!
The ground froze over in an instant, and an icy wall erupted before me, blocking my way.
The spells had completely stopped me from approaching him.
However,
“It’s useless.”
They’re gone if I destroy them anyways.
I spun my body 360 degrees in the air while I was running, and using that tension, I pivoted my body and smashed the ice wall in one blow.
Crack!
Shatter!
The thick wall of ice shattered into pieces like a glass window, and the students could only exclaim at seeing such a display.
“Woah, what magic is that?”
“I-is that even magic?”
“He looks like some rhino.”
Even without casting magic, my physical strength was enough to destroy the ice wall.
It was enough to make Michael flustered.
“You-you bastard…”
Michael panicked hard while spreading both palms in front of him.
As he did that, a massive lizard climbed out from behind the fire barrier he had cast before.
“Keaaaaa!”
3rd-class magic that created the image of a flame lizard and turned everything nearby into a sea of fire.
Speed, Destructive power, Size.
They were all impressively strong.
However, this too could not stop my advance.
I leapt into the flames without slowing, and I slammed the ground with my fist to cast an introductory 4th-class spell called Earthquake.
Ba-Boom!
Centered around my fist, a high-speed sound shockwave exploded out, and the winds created by it started to smother the flames.
Simultaneously, the ground began to shake, and the sandy floor of the testing ground shot up and started extinguishing the flames of the Fire Lizard.
“Wow!”
“He countered the fire element with an earth spell.”
That wasn’t all.
“Ah… Ack!”
As the ground suddenly lurched, Michael Galehill lost his balance and started to stagger.
“Now, it’s your turn, Michael.”
“……”
I compressed my body, and as if fired from a bow, I charged towards Michael at high speed.
Michael’s face had solidified in fear.
“D-don’t come here!”
Michael stared at me with a face as pale as if he had seen a ghost, and towards that Michael, I lifted up my right hand.
“Uh-uh… Uh!”
Michael bent his shoulders and clenched his eyes shut at the sight of my fist, but…
“Don’t be a pussy.”
“……”
I didn’t launch my fist at Michael.
Rather, I bent my middle finger under my thumb and smiled brightly.
“Let me flick you on the head once.”
And I aimed at his forehead after I focused all my strength on my middle finger.
“…F-flick my head?”
Before Michael could finish talking…
I fired the cannon sealed in my middle finger by my thumb.
CRAAACK!
“UCK!”
A flick containing a whopping 1200 strength had flung Michael off his feet as he gasped out.
About three or four steps away.
After getting hit by a flick and flying for about 5 meters, Michael hit the stump of a tree and went unconscious from hitting his head.
Stillness immediately dominated the testing grounds.
“……”
“What was that just now……”
“Did-did it finish?”
“O-of course it’s finished…… He just hit his head and…”
No.
It hadn’t finished yet.
If he had consumed the Herb of Awakening, Burning Flower.
Michael wouldn’t have felt the pain just then.
He should be up by now.
Sure enough, it was as expected.
“Ruin… You scared us…”
“M-Michael stood up!”
The one who broke the atmosphere of silence was none other than Michael Galehill.
Even though he collapsed from nothing more than a flick, he stood up as if nothing happened.
And, as he shook his head trying to regain his senses, he spoke up.
“You dare look down on me? Just a little flick…”
“……”
Right.
Just a little flick.
He didn’t know if it was little or not.
Since he didn’t feel any pain.
However, the damage had accumulated in his body.
Doing more than this was definitely dangerous for Michael.
“You… You shouldn’t have done that.”
Without hesitation, I ran up to Michael and planted my fist into his abdomen.
Bang!
“Heup!”
Experiencing another dizzying situation where he couldn’t even breathe, Michael flew backwards again.
This was just a beating.
However, Michael…
“Keke… Do you think you can win with such a soft fist?”
“……”
