"Time Stop!" Avan had no mana for that kind of spell. A ninth tier spell that completely stops everything. He only had one and a half second. He powered up his feet and launched himself at the man, pushing him to the side. And time began to resume. "This should've been an easy fight. Damn it..." Avan coughed up blood and felt incredibly weakened by the after effects.Avan seeing the system give him about 400 mana was something that he didn't expect that he had in him. But seeing that he could get one million mana to cast an unlimited supply of spells was like a gift to him. But he didn't know at that time until he found out a couple of months ago, that he always had that mana in him.A limitless amount of mana, one milion, enough to power the whole world. It wasn't how much he could grow, it was nothing more than a limiter.And if he tries to go past it, the limiter, his body begins to break down from the abundance of mana that he possibly couldn't handle. That's why the greatest mag
Avan was there, completely confused. In that open green plains area, there was no one near him. "Area Search." He invokes a spell and a large surge of mana emitted out of his body. Only traces of small molecules of mana appeared from the plants and the animals that were all around him. He cancelled out the spell with no luck. He reached out his hand, "Materialize." And a bow made of blue mana appeared. He grabbed it with both of his hands and aimed it at the sky. He opened up his subspace inventory and grabbed one of the flares that was given to them before they went on their journey. He pulled back and shot it up in the sky. A deafening sound echoed throughout the forest and a bright red light. The animals began to run away in terror. Avan casted body enhancement magic on himself and jumped on top of the trees and saw several flashes of flares along the vicinity. And he only found one flare that's the same as him. He opened up his subspace once more and grabbed a staff. It was ma
What Argus and Schaffer saw that day in the mock battle flared their souls. "This time... it'll be different." Schaffer said as he drank the finest wine that he could buy, wrapped around in a golden foil, while the glass was beaming with magic and mana. A knock on the door, and then followed up by a woman going in. "Headmaster, it is time." His whole body emitted a terrifying aura, filled with excitement. "So it is." Schaffer opened his door and summoned a teleportation gate in front of him. A blob of a violet, pink colored swirl appeared in front of him. As he step foot, showing up on the other side, loud roaring cheers and shouts of young men and women can be heard echoing through the entire academy."It. is. TIME!" He shouted, as he imbued it with mana, reverberating.The students stomped their feet as a battle cry as they sang in unison."You all have been training for this very moment. We all enter in this war driven world, in this war driven campaign, because of a wish. A wi
It was as if all magic was being unleashed at the chaotic battleground as they were observing. Thousands of spells were flying everywhere. The green and grassy ground that they were once fighting is just a burnt ground. "War does things to these grounds. Don't you think, Schaffer?" Argus asked as he looked down at the chaos below. "How many Elemental Wars have we fought together? I've long lost count." Schaffer replied. "I don't know, but I'm sure that its a battle well fought." "Do you still remember why we continue to fight?" "Its because we sought for knowledge, honor and the benefits as the monarchs of the world." "Of course. Of course." Schaffer had a sorrow face. "Even if it costs us half our kingdom's population, including the children?" Argus paused for a moment before answering, "Morals doesn't matter headmaster when war is at hand. Its just the reality. We're simply the old people manipulating children into heading into war so that we can gain power and knowledge about
It was at the middle of a night. A mock battle between all the students that were randomly picked. A total of a hundred candidates will be picked and will be declared as victor. And then they'll be split up into twenty groups for the Elemental War to be distributed into other locations of the world. They'll be accompanied by a single professor.The factions on the mock battle were as such. The red team versus the blue team. There's three ways of victory conditions that they have to take.The first one is making everyone on the opposing side of the winner's team be unable to fight or is forced to surrender in a way. Killing is prohibited, but knocking everyone unconscious or making them incapable in a fight in a non-lethal way also counts.The second is knocking down the opponent's castle by their spells. There's two castles on the battlefield. One for each team. This is where their main base is at and the very core of the both teams. Once it gets destroyed, the team that still has the
The god from above placed something at the top part of the world. It was something powerful and unimaginable.'It,' spoke.The light beam that descended from the heavens can be seen from everyone in the whole world.Everyone ran towards that light. It was like a marathon between everyone in the world as they fought towards that light.And finally, a successor, a human reached the very peak all alone and entered the light.And what was in front of her was a being that transcends all of reality. That is, god itself.The god spoke before she could. "One question, one wish."She then wished for the war to end and retain the honor that all of the races once had. "World Peace, in her own words."The god with a single tap, created a giant ripple that surrounded the whole entire world. And everyone dropped their weapons as they heard what she wished for.Her wish was granted. But the next one was something that she didn't think of.She thought of thousands of questions, but the question that
Argus and Schaffer stood before the stage auditorium looking at over thousands of students. There was a small silence as the domineering presence of the both of them stood tall like a gigantic statue.But instead of it being admired because of their beauty, its strength that made the thousands obey.The guardians of their city and their kingdom. There was no other honor greater than being under those who were powerful.A single swift of their magic and villages will be burned down, gust away by the winds, swallowed by the darkness, purified by the light. Whatever magic comes out at the end of their staves, everyone knows that destruction ensues, and the idea of peace follows.A magic imbuing their mouths with mana. "Greetings students." Two words and everyone felt the chilling words coming out from Schaffer's mouth.Argus tapped his shoulders and touched the bottom of his own chin to signal Schaffer's excessive use of mana.Schaffer coughed as if trying to adjust his words. "Welcome t
"How long were you in there Argus?" Schaffer asked.Argus looked around and saw that his spell was still in effect. "I don't know. It must've been some decades or so. But I saw it all. From his first life, how he was born up to the point that he died.""I saw the same thing." Schaffer sighed. "You've been gone for less than a second.""I've never seen a mind reading spell like that to last for that long. It should only give me a glimpse, not the entire thing.""Its not your spell, its whatever is inside this child. It was to try and entice you to join his cause. To feel pity, to feel remorse and to feel the same thing this child felt. Its a good thing that we're the only ones that know this child's memories. Its our willpower that let us still know that we're still a part of ourselves.""His mind and willpower is either way too strong for us to completely enter so he manipulated his own so that we could see that..." Argus swallowed his dry saliva.Only for Schaffer to continue what he
Argus couldn't believe what he saw. Mind Reading was used to see fragments of a person's memories. But what he saw was just an endless void. As he walked to what seemed like an endless space, footsteps began to appear on the ground, laced with the color of gold.Curiosity captured his mind as he began to run to the direction of the footsteps.It was a long run, taking him an hour to get to the very end. Until he stopped as soon as he saw the monstrosity before him. A golden colored armor surrounding... something.There was no flesh, no bones, it was... nothing.It was as if the fragments of the very armor that its capsuled in is just an empty shell that has nothing. A raging living armor that drives on the dark energy in this endless void.Argus reached out to it. As soon as his hands touched the armor, its eyes... or where normally the human's eyes were lit up in a brightly colored mixture of black and white.Words appeared in front of him. It was the armor communicating to him.'BE
