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

Episode 343 Chapter 61: Special Clan(2)

Special Clan(2)

Rumble...!!

A sudden tremor shook the inverted Ilajeliden Reverse Mountain, sending waves of snow crashing down. In such a precarious snowy region, even the smallest shock could trigger an avalanche, but there was no need to worry.

After all, almost no life existed on the Reverse Mountain.

[Balance of Harmony]

Two magic circles formed at the tips of Flame fingers, quickly transforming into a scale in the sky.

Giiiiing!

As the scale tipped to one side, a small mark appeared on the chest of the Angel Hunter, Alpha.

"...Annoying trick."

When facing a stronger opponent, this was a special magic of the angelic race, designed to steal their strength and bless the user.

"But you didn't know about the opposite, did you?"

[Balance of Punishment]

"Ugh?!"

The moment a crimson scale appeared in the sky, Flame felt a slight drain on her strength.

This was the counterpart of her magic, a demonic curse that weakened the target when they were stronger. It was a direct counter to Flame's ability.

'Damn it, demonic magic?!'

She spread her wings wide, diving between the sharp cliffs of the Reverse Mountain.

"Is running all you can do?"

Though Flame thought she was flying at her top speed, Alpha had already caught up, reaching out towards her.

[Come, to Hell]

Alpha's magic circle dispersed in midair, and a crimson claw lunged towards Flame's body. She tried to dodge, but one of the claws managed to tear into her wing.

Rip!

"Aaagh...!"

Her angelic wing was shredded, and the pain brought tears to her eyes. She couldn't even manage to project a shield as she plummeted downward, earning a scoff from Alpha.

'How pathetic.'

According to ancient records, angels were once powerful enough to split the sky and summon colossal spears to judge demons on Earth.

But compared to those legends, this young girl before him was weak and insignificant.

The wings that should have been strong enough to soar through a storm conjured by a grand mage were torn apart by simple magic. The heavenly shield, said to withstand even a demon king's strike, was shattered with ease.

'But allowing her to grow any further... would have been dangerous.'

Flame was no older than her late teens, yet she had enough power to stand against him. It was clearly the blood of an angel.

'Female angels must be eliminated quickly.'

In ancient times, both angels and demons had few females, leading to difficulties in reproduction.

In a way, this balanced the ecosystem. Had angels and demons been able to reproduce as prolifically as humans, they would have already ruled the Earth.

'I'll kill her here.'

As Flame plummeted, she once again drew power from the heavens, spreading her wings to take flight once more.

Alpha watched her calmly, summoning a crimson spear in his hand.
