God of Mages: Creating a Mage Scoreboard at the Start - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Dragonkin Challenger

The crowd cried out in alarm.

The magic stone, with the support of sound wave magic, created ripples in the air and flew toward the defender, Tian, with the force of wind and thunder.

The magic stone flew straight toward Tian.

He was not in a hurry at all and merely stretched out his hand to grab it.

Many people were ready to watch the best part of the show. If one even used their hands to catch the magic stone that was covered by such sound wave magic, there would only be one outcome. The sound waves would enter the person’s internal organs and they would be considered to have lost.

Whoosh—

The sound wave dissipated, and the magic stone flew into Tian’s hand.

Gauss suddenly became nervous.

Tian had managed to counter his magic.

He slowly raised his staff and said, “Noble Wind Spirits, help me move like the wind.”

“Noble Sound Wave Companion, please help me eliminate strong enemies.”

“Sound is everywhere. Come here, Sound Wave Armor!”

In an instant, Gauss, who was on the stage, changed completely.

Invisible sound waves covered his entire body, and it was a type of supersonic wave.

The frequency was so high that normal people could not hear it.

The aura around his body had changed drastically. The stones on the ground disintegrated into dust when they were within three feet from him.

On the other hand.

Tian, the defender, stayed aloof and there was not a single fluctuation in his emotions.

However, it was precisely because there were no ripples that it was somewhat abnormal.

This was because the entire arena was currently filled with sound waves and wind blades.

Yet not even his clothes were fluttering.

No one knew what method he used to neutralize the sound waves.

“Humph.”

“Try again this time!”

Gauss continuously waved his magic staff.

Waves of sounds invisible to the naked eye, immediately attacked the defender.

Soundwaves were invisible and formless, not to mention, these were ultrasonic waves. So this kind of attack was extremely detrimental.

If an ordinary person was attacked by soundwaves, their body would instantly explode and die. They might not even know how they died.

However, when these soundwaves attacked the defender, he merely lightly waved the longsword in his hand.

The waves of sounds instantly shattered.

“Do you think that you can block the sound waves with that? Sound is everywhere!”

Gauss shouted loudly, never halting his actions. He chanted the spells crazily and the sound wave attack came wave after wave.

“What is Gauss doing? Why do I feel that he’s not really attacking the defender?”

“I don’t understand either. Let’s just continue to watch.

“However, the defender really did have a lot of tricks up his sleeves. I wonder if he’s a warrior or a mage?

“And why is the sword in his hand able to disperse sound waves?”

Everyone was baffled by what they saw.

It seemed like he had not broken a sweat, and no one knew what tricks he had used to defend himself.

He did not even need to cast a single spell.

They had never seen such a warrior before. Without combat aura, what kind of power did he borrow to disperse sound waves?

Meanwhile, Tian, the defender’s speed was getting faster and faster, so fast that it was almost impossible for anyone’s eyes to see him, as if he was dodging something.

“Holy Light Magic, let us see the truth.”

Someone in the crowd suddenly chanted a spell and beams of holy light enveloped the arena.

When the holy light was extinguished, everyone widened their eyes.

“Hiss! So that’s the look of this method.”

Everyone merely saw countless thin lines of sound waves in the small arena.

These sound waves continued to collide with each other for a long time.

In the end, they almost filled up all the space in the entire ring.

“If that’s the case, I reckon that Gauss has won this time.”

“Oh my lord. How is his sound wave magic so terrifying? It can actually be everywhere like how he said it.”

“No—the sound wave magic is not the terrifying part. The terrifying thing is that there’s a strange formation in this stage that prevents the power from leaking out.

“This also caused the amplification of the sound wave magic.

“It seems that the mage god training hall’s host is shooting himself in the foot here.

“The longer it is, the more omnipresent this sound wave attack will be. It’s not something that can be dodged just by fast speed.”

“Hahahaha, what defender! I thought you were oh-so capable, hmm?”

Within the arena, there were sound wave attacks everywhere. If one’s physical body were to touch it, they would instantly meet their tragic end.

However, the next moment later…

The defender showed a strange smile and suddenly stopped dodging.

He stood still where he was.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless sound wave attacks landed on his body.

Dust and smoke gradually rose up.

All the spectators were extremely nervous.

“Did he die? Did Gauss win?”

Soon after, the dust and smoke dispersed.

Everyone widened their eyes in horror.

The defender gave a slight smile, and his entire body was burning with an inexplicable blue aura.

It was hard to tell what kind of power it was.

All the sound wave attacks would scatter around when they hit the blue aura that was exuding up to three feet away from his body.

“No… no… What kind of magic is this?”

Everyone was also extremely curious.

They did not see the defender chanting a magic spell earlier?

The blue fire-like aura around him did not seem like combat aura armor.

So how did he do it?

“Well, I won’t play with you anymore.”

The defender immediately slashed out with his sword.

The moment the sword was slashed, it brought with it the power of wind and thunder. A sword aura that was dozens of meters long sliced through the air and directly attacked Gauss.

Gauss’s Face was ferocious. He continuously chanted magic spells and a sound wave magic attack was still hitting the sword’s energy.

However, there was no doubt that his sound wave attack would not cause any damage to the sword’s energy.

Puchi!

After the sound, Gauss let out a blood-curdling scream. He was sent flying by a huge force and immediately exited the arena. A terrifying external wound about half a meter long appeared on his chest, and fresh blood continuously spurted out of it.

“I did not kill you, nor did I chop off your vital parts.

“As for your ranking, you belong at the bottom tier. I will not rank you anywhere.”

The defender, Tian, said coldly.

“Next!”

His gaze scanned the arena.

“He’s too strong.”

“He actually defeated Gauss in a single move. His Level is indeed at the level of a great mage, but the aura energy he uses is extremely strange. It doesn’t seem to be some sort of combat aura?”

“I think it’s some kind of strange magic.”

In this world, no one would know every kind of magic that existed.

The basic elements that made up this world were merely those few, but magic derived from the most basic elements had too much combat aura.

“I suspect that he cheated. He’s the defender himself. What Level do you think the longsword he’s holding belongs in?

“After all, he’s undoubtedly using magic.”

“Do you think that he’s using star-ranked magic treasures…”

These words shocked everyone.

If that was the case, then Gauss’s loss was not unjust at all.

A star-ranked magic treasure could save a mage the time to chant any magic.

A star-ranked magic robe and magic equipment were basically immune to most attacks from those below star-ranked.

“Humph, I, Long Xiaoying, will challenge you next!”

At this moment, a young girl in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Then, she abruptly jumped onto the stage.

Everyone was shocked, but when they saw the symbol on the collar of this girl named Long Xiaoying, they were all immediately taken aback.

“F*ck, it’s a dragonkin…”
