CH.328 Fighting Tests
“Ha, Ha, Ha.” The now healed up Rudevik was laughing. I question how he can laugh in this situation, but maybe he is just crazy. “I really underestimate you. I didn’t realize that the magician put a barrier around you. He really is perfect.”
“Well, you are the one that asked for the force I’d use against SS-rank monsters. Quintet is definitely one of my strongest summons, so you better not underestimate him.” I told him.

“Hawk Eyes!” I heard Dale cast a spell using Quick Chant as I was activating my own card. It was a spell to help see better, so maybe he can use it to see through Alice’s Shade spell.
Alice didn’t seem too taken back by the spell, as she began casting weak spells using Quick Chant. A few Dark Bullets and Fire Bullets soon headed towards Dale, but the magic swordsman used his sword to cut the spells.
“Wind Slash!” Dale then countered with a spell of his own. As he swung his sword, a blade of compressed air took off from it, flying towards Alice.
Alice seemingly didn’t want to try cutting the spell and instead she used her Mana Flight skill to take off into the sky. That seed to surprise Dale, at least based on his reaction, and he began chanting a spell of his own. I didn’t hear most of the chant, but the activation word I heard clear. “Flight.”
Like Alice before him, Dale took off into the Shaded air. Flying towards Alice, Dale took a better hold of his sword, while also Quick Casting a few Air Bullets.
Alice for her part Insta Casted both Dark Armor and Dark Shield to protect herself, while also seemingly filling her swordstaff with so mana, as its blade began to glow a bit.
The duo’s swords clashed in the air, letting out a ringing sound. But this wasn’t a swordfight, but a sword and magic fight, so those two won’t blade lock each other or anything. Because where Dale stood, soon a small inferno appeared. It was actually Fire Wall cast by Alice, not an inferno, but it will still burn you if you aren’t careful, so Dale had to quickly back off. Alice then burst straight through her own wall of flas so she could attempt to strike at the retreating Dale.
While that attack did seem to take Dale off guard, he was still capable of parrying Alice’s strike with his sword, while also Quick Casting Wind Blow. The spell sent a lot of air to Alice’s way, pushing her away from Dale again.
With a bit of distance between the two again, both of them Quick Casted so bullet spells, Alice both Dark and Fire Bullets, while Dale just used Wind Bullets. But out of the two, Alice ca out the better, as she was able to use Instant Cast to cast another Dark Armor spell to defend herself, while Dale took her bullets head on. Dale took so damage from the spells, but he was still hanging in there, and the match continued.
“Wind, Rage to your heart's desire, Wind Storm!” Dale casted a powerful spell with a full chant. Well, it might have been shortened, as it was … well, short.
Powerful winds began to whirl around the arena, to the point where they even blew away Alice’s Shade. And with the winds as his ally, Dave Quick Casted Flight again, and flew towards Alice with his sword ready.
“Dark Flare!” In response, Alice Quick Casted a spell I haven’t seen her use before. Because of it, a raging dark fla appeared before her. The fla then quickly moved to attack Dale, almost like it was a snake, covered in dark flas.
With his sword shining with mana, Dale prepared to intercept the flaming snake. It might have only taken him three slashes to do so, but that was enough ti for Alice, as her next spell was ready to go.
“False Fla!”
This was actually a spell I knew. It was Alice’s anti-personnel fire spell. It looked like Fire magic, but it was actually a mix of fire and dark. And the best part about it, it wouldn’t inflict any HP damage to the opponent, it just hurt like heck. Alice designed it as a tool to subdue people that she didn’t want to really hurt. At least hurt their HP. Because as soone who did act as a test target for that spell, I can say, it hurts a ton.
The False Fla hit Dale head on, just as he had finished the Dark Flare snake fla thing. He let out a loud scream as the fire ‘burned’ him. I know physically he would be fine, but I still cannot understate the ntal damage that spell causes. Maybe I should ask Alice to not use that spell again, as I feel like she is becoming more sadistic with each spell. I don’t want her to end up like Marik, who burns people with false divine flas. I don’t think this world will have a Joey who can stand up to the pain of those kinds of flas.
Perhaps because of the pain caused by Alice’s flas, or maybe so other reason, Dale’s Flight spell seed to have been interrupted, and the A-rank adventurer fell from the sky. He was still conscious, and was able to land on his feet.
“... Good move. … but you lose.” He said to Alice.
“..?”
Alice didn’t seem to realize what was going on, but I did. Well, for us it was a lot easier to see.
The Wind Storm spell had broken a piece of earth off and lifted it above Alice. And now, because of the False Fla Alice cast, all of Dave’s spells seed to have run out. Including the Wind Storm keeping said piece of earth in the air. And perhaps as a showcase of Dale’s skill, or maybe just dumb luck, as that slab of earth fell, it hit Alice, taking her down with it.
As both Alice and the slab of earth hit the ground, the slab broke apart, showing the force of the impact. But the pile of rocks didn’t stay still. There was clearly so movent under it. And eventually, Alice dug herself out of there.
“... HOW?” Dale yelled, as he took a good grip of his sword.
“... no.” Alice said quietly. “You win.” As she admitted that, her clothes shined a bit, and her magical girl outfit turned back into her regular clothes, before Alice seemingly passed out and began falling towards the ground.
I quickly took a hold of her falling body with Telekinesis as I rushed to her side.
Match over. Winner Dale. Opponent ran out of mana and passed out.
