80 Chapter 28: Point-Blank (1/2)

”There are 80 players remaining, there have been no added rules.” Said the voice

”80... Huh...” I muttered as I looked down at my badge number

The number displayed was 7

”I never expected there to be so many people here at the beach...” I said as I looked towards the small concretes and frozen sand on the ground.

They were stronger than I expected, some continued chanting even after they dodged my glacies. But I shouldn't be seeing any mage soon who can fight one-on-one.

”*sigh* mumble, mumble, mumble, mumble... Deprehendre” I whispered

I cast deprehendre in search of only my teamates

3 scattered lights appeared scattered around the forest. One of them was close to the beach was pretty far.

”That must be them...” I muttered

I guess I'll head for the closest one.

I wonder how everyone's doing?

As I thought that I entered the forest.

”Well... Walking will take a while so...” As I said that I reinforced my body with magic and started to run

I zoomed past the trees in a speed unnatural for a kid of my age

I never took the time to deeply think about it... But magic sure is revolutionary... I wonder what my previous world would be like if it existed... With reinforcement I'm much faster than the faster man on earth.

”It sort of feels like a cheat...” I muttered

Suddenly, I felt a chill go down my spine and stopped.

”?!”

After that, something came into contact with the tree which was right in front of me and it... Vanished?

I cast deprehendre without saying anything and looked around

Nothing, I couldn't find anyone, the nearest person was at least 30 meters away from me, there's no way they could have launched an attack and I wouldn't have noticed

Suddenly I felt another attack coming and leapt to the side. A small hole was formed on the ground where I had been stood. But I managed to catch a glimpse of it.

The effects of deprehendre were still active, that was why I managed to notice. The person who was at least 30 meters away, suddenly appeared around 10 meters in front of me and cast some sort of spell.

How?! When? Is deprehendre bugging out?

”Is it... Teleportation...?” I asked

After I said that the person slowly approached me, he had a staff in hand and I could see his characteristics. A guy... moderately long white hair which reached all the way to his ears and frost white eyes.

He was mumbling something... It's a chant!

A smirk formed on his face when I started fake chanting and propelled myself at him using velox duplici and Levite

With these two combined I may as well be moving at the speed of a bullet.
