225 Magus Tang - Part 2 (1/2)
”Deril is in trouble!” She told the other party members. She was a cleric and familiar with the strong outburst mana. From the mana wave, she could tell that the man was a high-level mage, ”He's a mage, not a warrior. He tricked us by showing the big battle-ax.”
Deril was of course not a normal warrior, he was the second advancement warrior, Great Warrior. However, a warrior that relied on heavy movement was not a match of a mage.
Argil, the bulky man also stood up from the seat, ”That bastard dared to cheat! We have to stop the trial!”
”Don't be stupid, Argil. Trial of the Duel has no rule state you have to show your class, it's Deril's stupidity who does not investigate his opponent first, and he jumped into a pit now. No wonder, that man did not try to prove himself to be innocent, he was tricking Deril into the bet. This trial is easy money for that man,” Murie remarked when the big guy tried to interrupt the battle.
”What should we do, Rina?” Rodian, the Earth Mage of the party, asked his leader. He was quite concerned since Deril was still part of the White Tiger, ”Deril would not be able to hold against Lightning Mage.”
”Don't try anything funny. The trial of the Duel is a sacred battle between adventurers, the guild will not tolerate anyone who tries to interrupt the trial. If you want to do something stupid, don't involve your party in it!” Murie coldly reminded his party members.
”Hah…” The mature woman let out a sigh as she slumped down back to her seat. Just like Murie said, Deril at the point of no return. If she even tried to stop the trial, the whole party would get punished instead.
”Hah, I told him that there's no way a Wood Rank is capable of killing Dire Wolf King. He never changed, at all,” Arina shook her head in regret. 600 gold was not a small number even for Platinum Rank, it would take them years to save that amount. Now all Deril's saving would be gone in a single duel.
Not only the Deril's party was shocked by the sudden revelation by Tang Shaoyang. The Guild Master, Carlos was shocked by the storm of mana from his back.
'What? What happened?' The old man was utterly confused. From one glance, he expected Tang Shaoyang was a fine warrior with his fine build and also his intimidating weapon. However, now the man changed, not a warrior but a mage, a very strong at that.
With his eyes wide open, the old man recalled the Dire Wolf King's body condition. There was no burn mark from lightning, not even a trace of magic could be found on the body. The wolf died by brute force, he was sure of that. But was it really possible for a mage to do that?
Carlos's head was filled with confusion and also curiosity. He wanted to know what actually happened, 'Or is it a unique class? But what kind of class gives such a strong magic power and also physically stronger than an elite warrior?'
Deril was also stunned by the sudden revelation. He was not expecting the man to be a mage instead of a warrior, 'The plate armor and the battle-ax were used to trick me! Damn!' He realized that he had been tricked.
However, he was at the point of no return, it was a do or die, 'Fortunately, I just learned a new movement technique, I can use that to surprise and also get closer to him. I have to end the battle quickly, I can't afford to let him cast his strong spell,' Deril started to make a plan for the battle.
He looked down on his opponent before, but he had to take this seriously. A single small mistake would lead him to his doom.
The adventurers who came to spectate the trial of the duel also gasped in surprise. Tang Shaoyang truly surprised them.
While everyone was surprised by his change, Tang Shaoyang focused on his status screen. He was checking the skill he got from the integration with Zowen.
