I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 262 Chapter 50: Noble Soul(15)

Noble Soul (15)

The Queen of All the divine beasts, spirits, fairies, and elves, Florin. People speculate that her ability is equivalent to that of a 9th-class mage within the World Tree.

However, that assumption is slightly mistaken.

The 9th-class 'magic warriors' have accumulated vast experience and knowledge to reach their positions, but Florin reached hers solely through meditation rooted in faith and patience, which is a significant difference.

Although she had perfectly memorized various military tactics and combat manuals, could she truly conduct a battle as described in the textbooks?

Absolutely impossible.

"...Damgal toweol's blessing."

Florin bit her lower lip and hardened her expression.

Behind her, something like butterfly wings mixed with green and purple emerged, enabling her to fly freely. She thought it would be advantageous to float in the air to counter Chelriban, who was of the earth element.

But reality was different.

As long as Chelriban wished, the earth was always there.

He could summon the earth as a foothold anywhere, drop meteors from the sky, so the advantage of flying was almost non-existent.

Boom...!!

The airborne fortress, which had been providing solid support from above due to Aryumun's summoning technique, collapsed like a sandcastle.

It wasn't a special attack; it happened with just one shout from Chelriban.

Aryumun used a unique strategy of summoning various creatures and items to fight, while Chelriban possessed a special ability that automatically defended against all attacks perfectly.

But who could have documented such unique abilities in any manual?

'Create an opening in the enemy and strike at their weak point. Then you will achieve victory.'

The most basic magical combat rule explained on the first page of a combat manual.

But would such 'basic principles' work on Chelriban?

This battle, which defied common sense, was incredibly challenging for Florin. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't come up with a way to penetrate Chelriban's absolute defense.

Damgal toweol's defense was perfect, and it seemed endless.

Even without conscious effort, the protective shield would automatically deploy, consuming almost no mana.

(TL: cheap copy of gaara......)

In contrast... Florin and Aryumun's mana was depleting rapidly.

Unlike them, who used their mana to control the World Tree or perform summoning magic, Chelriban's mana was supplied by the earth itself.
