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

Episode 348 Chapter 61: Special Clan(7)

Special Clan(7)

A cold wind blew across the icy peaks of Ilajeliden Mountain. Despite the bone-chilling cold, Flame managed to keep her wings moving.

"Haa..."

Her body had already reached its limit.

Even though she was protecting her body temperature with mana, flying for such a long time over the notorious Reverse Mountain, known for being one of the coldest places, had left her entire body frozen and numb.

"Looks like I'm definitely going to be sick when I get back..."

But now, it's okay.

It was exhausting and painful, but Flame forced herself to smile.

Even in times of misfortune, she always tried to smile—it was part of her identity. But smiling in this situation was nearly impossible.

"I lost."

Dozens of icy blades pierced through the body of the angel hunter, Alpha.

And a single spear of light had impaled his abdomen.

Alpha's magic was completely sealed, and his body was immobilized. He could no longer fight.

Crunch!

Stepping onto the thick snow, Flame met his gaze.

"The Stella Knights will be here soon. Just stay put until you're captured."

"...Captured? Haha, how naive."

"What do you mean?"

Flame stood her staff up and looked around. Did he mean to escape? But that was impossible. With the spear of judgment lodged in him, he wouldn't be able to use any demonic magic.

Moreover, the icicles, presumably from Eisel, had frozen all his mana channels, making it impossible for him to use any magic.

"What do you think you've done to me?"

"I sealed your magic with the Spear of Judgment. Now you can't do anything..."

"You're wrong."

Cough!

As Alpha coughed up blood, Flame recoiled in fear. The ankle she had injured earlier in the battle throbbed painfully, but she had no time to worry about that now.

"If I were an ordinary human, sealing my magic would've been enough."

"...You are human. You're just using stolen demonic magic."

"Well, I used to think that way too. A hundred years ago, when I gave up being human and started using demonic magic... it wasn't until recently that I realized I was becoming more like them."

Alpha laughed, a wet, gurgling sound.

"I'm dying soon. It's so futile. I spent my whole life searching for angels, and when I finally meet one for the first time, this is how it ends—so pathetically."

"W-What...?"

She never intended to kill him.

Flame had always been reluctant to take a life unless the opponent was a black mage.

"You're no different, are you? The more you use angelic magic, the more you become like them. Do you see it as a curse? Or do you think it's a blessing?"

"I..."

Becoming an angel was a blessing.

She had overcome countless situations using the power of angels, including this one.
