"My teacher, Circe, had once taught me about physical forces like kinetics and potential. However, as a mage, we unconsciously disregard but that didn't mean the forces were weak. Punching a slime with Lv.1 strength….. would be impossible, right? But what if you can massively increase your momentum, making you able to generate the strength of a boulder when your base strength is the strength of a meager stone?"
Reve pushed out the boy's fist as the latter allowed him to converse. He seemed to be just like Reve. They both enjoyed analytical battles. If not, Reve knew he would have died a thousand times.
"You harness momentum. Turning the smallest feats of speed into something as dangerous as a final attack. When you move, destruction follows. Not just that, you have perfect control of your speed, capable of minimizing the area of your damage. Truly terrifying. When you hit me, the damage gets transferred to my body. It leaves internal damage rather than external, which was why I never got blasted away," smiled Reve with blood dripping from his lips.
He coalesced himself with energy and the natural healing process began, "You didn't retort, which means I'm not wrong. Now that I know all these, let's continue....[Frozen Gate]!"
A magic circle appeared beneath the boy. The boy blitzed away before the hellish ice particles could swallow him, but he got caught in another magic circle.
The magic spell activated and the ice particles rushed up to swallow him. The boy released a sharp aura of lightning ki and disintegrated all ice particles.
He distanced himself from Reve and smiled, "Perfection…..."
That was the only time he engaged with Reve. His snake-like eyes watched everything as he silently whispered, "[Sky Steps]"
Multiple ice constructs made of ice appeared in the air. They had a unique flair about them that was highlighted with the beautiful pattern on their surface.
Before another magic circle could appear beneath him, the young boy jumped on one step and then to another. He suddenly became a flash to Reve's eyes as he was moving too fast and unhindered.
'Damn, the [Frozen Gate] can't reach him in the air. That was why he chose this attack,' cursed Reve.
'[Ice Fantasy]!'
Two magic circles appeared in the air and coiled around each other. They created a small green blob of energy which later split apart. A small flower plant rose up and when it finally blossomed.....a glacial paradise was unleashed in this hidden part of the world.
The frozen plant opened and released multitudes of ice spears at the lightning streak that was the young boy.
It was the perfect counter for someone like him, especially when [Ice Fantasy] predicted his movements.
The young boy locked in a pinch. The array of ice spears aimed at him was controlling his movements. He couldn't even get to Reve's location.
Suddenly, he made a hand-sign and a shield made of multiple steps appeared in front of him. It blocked the incoming ice spears!
Reve sighed as he had anticipated this. His thoughts became super fast as the young boy inched closer to him, 'I can't let him close to me. His mere physical contact is unnerving. Also, his speed is one that rivals mine. I need to find a way to even the scale so I can perfectly cast my spell. Hmmm…..perhaps this might work?'
The peculiar attacks of the young boy had inspired him. Up till now, he had used eighty percent of his physical abilities and twenty percent of his energy reserve. He was maintaining a perfect efficiency rate.
Reve sighed as he recalled the feeling he had when he got punched by the young boy. It was as if he was a slip of paper and the boy was a stubborn pencil trying to pierce it.
The boy was in perfect control of every body part, from the bones to micro parts like veins and arteries.
Reve focused on this feeling. The young boy viewed his body as a weapon. He viewed speed as a weapon of destruction.
'Body as a weapon. Speed as the tip of the weapon. My body is under my control. I shall maintain perfect control of it. At this point, it is not something intimate to me. It is just a weapon.'
'My body is the marionette and I'm the marionettist! [Morai]!'
A green enveloped his body as soon as he thought of the last word. Suddenly, his thoughts warped. He began to think of his body as a puppet and his [Telekinesis] was directed at it.
Using it, he could now feel every inch of his body as it should be. He dissociated himself from the pain of his injuries and raised his arms, feeling the brush of wind on his skin.
Rev chanted confidently this time, "[Morai]!"
A beautiful melody went on his mind and it was his time to perform. Before the young boy's sword could slice him apart, Reve twirled in the air and sent a sidekick to the head at the same time.
This sent the young boy flying in the air. Reve smiled triumphantly. He finally got a hit on the boy.
Suddenly, the energy in the rampaged. A hymn solemnly played in the air and four words were heard before everything went asunder, "[Full Revised Limitless Slash]!"
A beautiful beam of energy appeared in the air and increased marginally in size. It destroyed everything in its way, including the physical system. Cracks of space could already be seen.
Seeing this attack, Reve gaped, "What a sad life?! I can't possibly tank this. Oh, damnation!"
The heavenly slash descended on him in an instant. It buried him along with the hall. Everything crumbled in the wake of this terrifying attack. It revealed the true darkness that was lurking around the hall.
After a while, the young boy illuminated the surrounding with his fingers. Despite the chaos that he created, a smile escaped his lips as he turned his head backward.
There was a door. The only door of the hall. It still stood tall despite everything that happened. The young boy smiled at a figure that appeared beside the door. The figure was none other than Reve.
Before he unleashed [Morai], he had cloned himself and fooled the young boy, or at least, the young boy had allowed himself to be fooled.
Reve donned a victorious smile as he sent a "Thank you" towards the young boy. He opened the door afterward
