Chapter 181 - Wizard Duel (2/2)

"Alright, that does it," The wizard shouted as he closed the distance even further

The wizard started channelling mana into his wand and then entered a stance as if he were about to fire, causing Merlin to leap out of the way

But instead of firing, the wizard twisted his body around and fired at Merlin as currently off balance froe

"Oh crap," Merlin swore as the bolt of energy flew directly towards him

Merlin quickly suain his balance The force bolt collided with his shi+eld, causing Merlin's body to be pushed back

The force continued to push Merlin's body until he th to push his shi+eld away fro the re kinetic force to fly out into the air and disperse

「Mana: 64/100」

In just four seconds, Merlin was pushed froh time had passed that his opponent had already finished channelling his next attack

Merlin kept his guard up, refusing to fall for yet another feint attack like the one he had al his distance, he avoided the wizard's next two attacks, but the wizard refused to get any closer

"What's the point in just running? Cohtto discern how , but it was a difficult task The wizard seehtly out of breath, which er ht, he'd likely have arcane recovery, which eous forhis breath 'I've got a little over half, with no way of recovering it We'll need to end this fast'

Dodging yet another force bolt, Merlin closed the distance onceto be yet another force bolt, but it was another feint Merlin didn't even bother pulling his shi+eld up this time as a force bolt was shot towards him only a couple ofa force bolt of his own at his opponent's force bolt, causing the two energies to collide

「Mana: 60/100」

A large grin fories si a wave of force to push both Merlin and his opponent back, but due to the height of the spell,down on Merlin, as he was currently kneeling, rather than pushi+ng him away

With that, Merlin had slid barely half the distance that his opponent had travelled, and he was ready to close the distance once more

The wizard immediately panicked and shot a force bolt towards Merlin as running directly at him Merlin parried the bolt with his shi+eld, much more efficiently than his first attempt

By the tiing up his next strike, until Merlin reached out and grabbed the other end of his wand

Merlin channelled his own e

This was the basic concept behind ic interference, two sources of mana channelled into one object, especially one that wasn't built to resist said interference or didn't have so that allowed the tool to accept two or more sources, would often be unable to operate due to the flow ofdisrupted

Merlin then channelled mana into his oand and fired it towards the wizard's sto the student to fly out of the ring, al the padded floor section as he rolled into the benches

「Mana: 52/100」

「You have coic instructor to receive your rewards」

"I win," Merlin announced while wiping sweat from his brow

The crowd roared with a mix of surprise and a in a corner of one of the benches

Merlin's attention was brought back to his chat as another notification e appeared beside his streaifted 2000 tokens with the e: "I believe I can fly~"」
