Chapter 24: A Burst of Emotion (1/2)

”Oh, look who is trying to play the hero in the middle of the day, the weakest magician, Elliot,” Alexander said in a taunting manner.

”Looks like you don't only like to pick on the weak and bow before the strong, but also remain ignorant to the world.” Elliot chuckled as he looked at him with his God's eye of Wisdom.

<Name: Alexander>

<Race: Human>

<Ability: Wind>

volutionary Stage: fifth Level of the Magical Realm>

<Strength: 15>

<Speed: 14>

<Stamina: 14>

Alexander's stats were weaker than him!

Elliot smiled, knowing well full that he can defeat Alexander and that he will only feel satisfied by playing with him in the same way a cat plays with a mouse.

”Elliot is no longer the weakest magician without an ability. He is now an awakened magician with a powerful ability. Does Alexander not know of that? If he doesn't, then it is not wrong to call him ignorant.” John made fun of Alexander in his mind as he looked at them. He didn't dare to move from his spot as Alexander was standing beside him and he was worried that he might be attacked if he moved.

Alexander knew that Elliot has awakened but it has only been a day since he awakened, just how much control does he even have over his ability when compared to himself who has been training his ability for four years!

Alexander believed that he will because he has trained his ability for far longer than Elliot.

”Did awakening boost your confidence to the point you've started to look down on me even in a deserted place? Look around you, Elli. There's no one here but us. This time no one's coming to save you!”

An instant after Alexander said those words, wind burst from beneath, launching him forward, alongside his fists that aimed directly at Elliot's face.

Whoosh!

Alexander covered the distance between them in a second, and his fists were about to crash on Elliot's body when at that very moment, Elliot's eyes brighten in a profound light, an image of two shields popping up inside of his mind.

Two shields suddenly appeared just in time to block Alexander's fists.

Bam!

His fist crashed on the shields, causing web-like cracks to spread on them from the point of impact.

”How could this be? How could a loser stop my attack two times in a row?!” Alexander said in a surprised voice, finding it hard to believe that Elliot has blocked his powerful attack so casually.

However, his eyes widened the very next instant as Elliot rushed out from behind the shield and landed on a heavy punch on his face.

Alexander slid back on the floor before coming to a halt some meters away from Elliot, blood dripping out the corner of his mouth.

”I will make you pay for this!” Alexander said in an angry voice as murderous desires flooded out of his eyes.

”Ha! I'll be the only one getting paid,” Elliot said, a smile stretching across his face.

Alexander's hands sprang forward continuously, throwing wind blasts at Elliot from a distance.

Elliot dodged them by moving to the left and the right while using his shields to block the one he couldn't dodge.

”Having a hard time, now aren't ya!” Alexander laughed, thinking that it is hard for Elliot to dodge his attacks.

However, in John's eyes, Elliot was moving around and dodging Alexander's wind blast with ease.

It didn't take too long for Alexander to realize that none of his attacks were connecting and that he was on the last few units of his magic energy. A magician channeled magic energy into the supernatural cells present in the bloodstream to activate their ability. Magic energy was necessary to activate an ability. Without it, a magician cannot activate their ability.

”How can you keep on dodging my attacks? How have you become so fast?” Alexander said, looking at Elliot with an expression of bewilderment.

”Seriously, your ability isn't even that good. It's too easy to evade and block. You don't know that. Do you know why? You've always been picking on the weak, and that's why you never realized your own weakness.” Elliot taunted him while landing a few quick punches on his face.

Alexander was pushed back to the wall under his brutal punches.

”Ugh! I will kill you!” Alexander suddenly channeled the last bit of his magic energy into his supernatural cells and released a powerful wind sphere that was many times quicker and more powerful than the attacks before.

Just as it was about to crash on Elliot's body, an enormous amount of the essence of life burst forth from his body, immediately shaping into a golden shield several times thicker than the ones before.

Boom

The wind sphere crashed on the shield, resulting in a loud booming sound. The impact generated gales of wind which dispersed in the surrounding, ruffling Elliot's hair just the way he likes it.

”You're still fine?!”

Alexander felt shook arising in his heart as he saw Elliot walking towards him without a single scratch on his body.
