Chereads / The Demi-Human With Blood Magic / Chapter 6 - Touch Me

Chapter 6 - Touch Me

It's time, said a young mage, pointing to one of the head mages with a small grin on his face and his silvery white hair fluttering in the breeze.

"Does he go insane?" "Get this arrogant kid off the battlefield," "Teach him a lesson," and "Win and marry me my darling," all kinds of voices began to echo from the audience.

However, it appears that the young mage is unconcerned about any of these voices.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's before catching its prey, his hands were as steady as a lion's paw before striking its target, and his posture was as strong as an elephant defending its kids.

Seeing his green eyes glow like an emerald kept in sunlight, eager for a life-or-death battle, the head mage decided to accept the challenge and step forward.

"SILENCE..." with a loud voice, the head mage struck the ground with his staff and looked at the young mage standing in front of him, then he looked at the audience and told them that any more bad mouthing about this young mage is not allowed.

Every other Royal mage who was standing on the battlefield began to move outside the battlefield and sat on a chair that looked like a replica of the king's throne with a golden border, each chair was embedded with a big shiny stone at the top, each stone had a different color depending on that mage's elemental mastery.

The audience was so quiet that if someone dropped an orb they were holding, everyone in the crowd could hear it fall to the ground. It's a scenario of "Orb drop silence."

"HaaHaaaHaaaaa, I never thought someone would challenge me in this way, being young is always great, can do all reckless things, HaaHaaaHaaaaa,"

"ASTERIA DISASTER..." an old mage chanted a spell while talking to the young man.

"REFLECTIVE SHIELD..." The young mage instantly countered the spell; to be more precise, he not only countered the head mage's spell but also countered the head mage's attack with his own spell.

"SCATTER…" The head mage dealt with the backfire caused by REFLECTIVE SHIELD as if it were nothing.

"That was a brilliant counter for an ASTERIA DISASTER, I expected you to use a protective shield, or in another case, dodge, but you using a REFLECTIVE SHIELD is unexpected, it almost looked like you were expecting this to happen, HaaHaaaHaaaaa"

The head mage began speaking in an unexpected manner, saying, "It's been almost 100 years; when I joined the Royal Magic Council at the age of 30, I was the youngest Royal mage in history. However, I'm afraid that the title of the youngest Royal mage in history is going to be taken by someone today, HaaHaaaHaaaaa."

The young mage with a fierce look on his face stood before the head mage and denied the head mage's idea: "I am glad you recognize me as someone worthy, but I am not going to accept your offer if you are thinking about dropping your position as Royal mage like this for me, I am afraid that I am not going to fill the spot."

"HaaHaaaHaaaaa, don't worry young lad, even if you use your full potential, you have no chance of winning; do you still want to have a fair fight with me?"

Everyone in the battle arena appeared to be frozen, and everyone in the crowd could sense a blood lust emanating from the head mage, who appeared to be barely keeping himself under control.

At this point, the young mage realizes that one wrong move could end his life in an instant, so he slowly took his battle stance while smiling a little and asked the head mage, "What's the condition?"

"HaaHaaaHaaaaa, I know choosing you was the right thing, you are a fast learner kid, HaaHaaaHaaaaa," the head mage looked very pleased.

"Touch me," that's the condition, and the head mage burst out laughing after saying it.

The entire audience was perplexed by the situation "Touch me!" What kind of condition is that?

The condition is so straightforward that anyone in the crowd can understand it. The young mage only needs to physically or magically touch the head mage.

It's almost as if the head mage is claiming that none of the young mage's attacks will hit him.

"WIND WALK..." the young mage charged at the head mage in an instant.

The head mage deflected the blow with ease, saying, "You don't wait to make a plan before making an attack, don't you? I like your recklessness, HaaHaaaHaaaaa."

"EARTH SHIELD" "FIRE BURST" the young mage strengthens his legs with EARTH SHIELD and uses FIRE BURST along with WIND WALK to boost his acceleration before charging toward the head mage.

But this time, he didn't aim at the head mage because he knew his speed wasn't fast enough to reach him.

He kicked the ground where the head mage was standing so hard that many rocks flew out.

He used EARTH SHIELD and FIRE BURST to strengthen his legs again, then increased his acceleration and kicked a large rock that came from the ground.

Everyone in the arena was dumbstruck, including the head mage, who was taken aback by the young mage's ability to cast mid-high tier magic.

At his age, casting two of those spells consecutively is a huge accomplishment, but he did it twice in a row.

The rock he kicked also astounds everyone in the crowd; it is well known that mages are physically weaker than knights, but it appears that the young mage's physical strength exceeds that of the majority of the knights.

His plan appeared to be to use the rocks to touch the head mage, but the head mage quickly found a gap between all the rocks flying towards him and moved towards that spot.

The dust from the rocks completely obscured the audience's vision, and the head mage, who was standing in between the dust, felt someone touch his shoulder.

"So, finally you caught me, HaaHaaaHaaaaa"

The crowd was baffled; they had no idea what had occurred, but one thing was clear to them.

"LUKAS WON..."

The audience began to cheer Lukas...

The head mage went over to Lukas, who was clearly exhausted and congratulated him. He also whispered, "I never thought I will see another light user like me."

Lukas looked at the head mage and made a small smile.
