Chapter 214 -9: Puppet Mage_3

Mr. Mihailovich’s eyes sparkled with starlight, a Mud Giant Demon?! Heh, this Lord indeed possesses exceptional abilities, summoning high-tier Earth Magic effortlessly, as if lifting a feather. With such an air of contempt for the world, it seemed Komer would need to reveal his true abilities to subdue this Baron Lord. A smile formed at the corner of his lips, his gaze steely as he raised the prepared magic wand towards the heavens. The Slender Mage’s expression turned solemn, and his deep voice echoed across the empty wilderness, “In the name of the gods’ will, grant me the power of the starry sky! Go!”

The sky suddenly darkened, a severe spatial distortion whirling around Komer, even his steadfast ‘Holy Starshine’ Light Shield began to falter and fade under the immense twisting force. His own creation, the Mud Giant Demon, managed only to take a single step before disintegrating into dust and scattering with the winds under this overwhelming power.

As the strange twisting force approached, Komer had already layered Acceleration Spells upon himself, constantly moving significantly to avoid the epicenter of the Starry Sky Attack Magic. He countered with two consecutive high-level Thunder Magic spells— Hammer of Thor. The sky roared with thunder and flashes of lightning, enveloping the Slender Mage in a storm of electric arcs streaking across the firmament, with thunderclouds rolling and the shadow of the Thunder God faintly visible amidst them, his head morphing into various visions with each peal of thunder. The mage had already summoned three Magic Puppet Men, who leveraged Wind System Magic to float in the air and draw the thunder god’s strikes. After two puppets were reduced to fragments under the incessant bombardment, the shadow of the thunder god faded, and the sky returned to its original color.

“Impressive!” Komer couldn’t help but exclaim. The thunder-based spells he had diligently practiced for half a year, the only showcase-worthy aspect of his magic, had been casually neutralized by his opponent. Komer had never conceived that Thunder Magic could be deflected using Magic Puppets instead of countering with brute force or evasion. It was evident that the opponent had not exerted full strength; the casual creation of three puppets suggested they were not of high caliber, otherwise releasing three at once would not have been possible. Yet, the lingering skeleton warriors on the sidelines remained a force to be reckoned with. Even under the full force of his ‘Heaven Light Crossing Demon,’ only a few marks appeared on their bones, and Komer noted that as the Necromantic Aura around them grew heavier, those marks slowly disappeared without a trace.

“Sir Lord is no less skilled, I’m quite curious how you manage to harbor both Dark Power and Holy Power. To my knowledge, while it is not impossible for contrasting magical forces like light and darkness to coexist within one person, the ‘Heaven Light Crossing Magic’ you just demonstrated is nearly a top-tier Light Divine Magic, which should be impossible for a mage with Dark Power. Could the information Rebry gave me be false?” The Slender Mage was indeed puzzled. The spells just witnessed had no connection with darkness or Necromancy, but showcased Light Series Magic and Elemental Magic, besides a few neutral auxiliary spells, contrasting greatly with the scenario described by Rebry, sparking wonder in the mage.

“Mr. Mihailovich, nothing is impossible in this world. Many things’ appearances do not represent their true nature. Just like the Light Series Magic and Elemental Magic you now see me using, these are trivial. What truly is the origin of magic power, light and darkness? Who can hastily define that? It all requires infinite effort to explore. At least, I believe no one can make such judgments easily at present.”

These ambiguous words left the Slender Mage feeling as if he had grasped some great truth, yet also as if he understood nothing. Komer achieved the desired effect: not to reject the other party, avoiding raising any suspicions, nor to reveal his real secrets, letting the other party conjecture in ambiguity was precisely what Komer aimed to accomplish.

The contest, initially thought to be a fierce battle, thus inconclusively fizzled out to the disappointment of watching mages and Dark Knights who had prepared to enjoy the spectacle. Nonetheless, even with so few moves shown, the Slender Mage’s profound mastery of Puppet Magic was evident, and the vast array of Komer’s magic skills amazed the onlookers. Just the ease of switching between Elemental Magic Powers was something not every mage could achieve.

Komer was equally intrigued by the Puppetry displayed by Mr. Mihailovich. The purpose of their exchange was mutual learning, promoting growth in their magic. Mr. Mihailovich’s curiosity in Komer’s Light System Divine Magic became the basis for Komer to share the secrets of his Puppetry. The two soon became confidants in the magical world. Mr. Mihailovich was far more straightforward than the old fox, Rebry, and Komer learned much from him. In return, Komer, albeit reservedly, shared his insights on the Conversion of Magical Properties with Mr. Mihailovich. How much benefit the other gleaned was not Komer’s concern.
