There were two ways to stop the festival.

Either the party surrenders, or the inability to fight becomes certain.

This included consuming all of his mana, but when he got close to exhaustion, he judged that he could not fight.

‘There’s no way this guy Hones would surrender.’

That’s why Morgan attacked while keeping a tight line.

The festival will end when Hones is clearly unable to fight.

‘I’ll straighten that mental head right now.’

He’s been a bad guy ever since.

I have been fighting against him, claiming that he did not recognize me as the future king.

‘What kind of person is he that dares not acknowledge me?’

Since he had no tips, he was not a threat in terms of power.

However, the comparisons of people who said that he had the strength that Morgan didn’t have, and that he surpassed his talent, were very annoying.

What do you mean by talent?

Are you saying that upright and upright hypocrisy is so great?

I heard that the crown prince’s appointment has not yet been decided because he is less qualified than Hones.

Morgan really hated this.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like it because of the comparison, it was because I really thought the queen might think that way.

That’s why Morgan was relentlessly trained.

The reason why he was able to reach 6 stars at such an early age was because of his greed for the throne.

It was great to deny these words and to prove myself.

‘It’s noisy.’

I could feel the crowd’s resistance to pushing Hones.

I could have put an end to it, but I was attacking like a bully instead.

But Morgan didn’t care.

‘At the front, people who can’t help but be noisy.’

No one except the queen can say anything to herself.

The position of crown prince was his own, and he believed that only he could succeed the queen.

‘I’ll treat it as crushing a leg.’

The moment you are about to strike the final blow.

Whoa!

A sudden spring of solid earth enveloped Hones.

A sign of magical power that had never been seen before in the arena.

“Do you enjoy teasing children? older brother.”

At this, Morgan’s ferocious eyes twisted, and the corners of his mouth were raised.

“You’re finally here, Cruz.”

“My older brother came out first because he was so clumsy.”

Originally, no one could interfere with the festival.

This confrontation was allowed because it was me and Hones against Morgan.

“Why don’t you abstain?”

He half-forced Hones, who was limping, to stand up.

Then he pondered a little, and opened his mouth heavily.

“I know very well how heavy these couplets are.”

There was a strong tremor in Hornes’ voice.

At least if you show the appearance of standing upright in this confrontation, even if you lose, the aftermath will be less.

But let alone consume mana, he must have been resentful because he only suffered one-sidedly.

“It’s not even a war, it’s just sparring. I won’t overdo it.”

“… … It’s still a big deal, though.”

“If you think so, keep quiet and watch. I’ll show you something fun.”

So I sent Hones back and stared at Morgan.

There was quite a bit of arrogance in his eyes, which were wide open.

“You’re not wearing armor, are you okay?”

“It doesn’t matter, because I have no intention of getting hit.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha-!”

Morgan’s loud laughter echoed throughout the arena.

It was a heartfelt mockery that felt truly ridiculous.

“Yeah, I really like that you didn’t disappoint me.”

“Surprisingly, it makes sense. I’m also looking forward to my brother’s skills.”

Quaang!

Suddenly Morgan’s Earth Magic flew in.

Intense earth tremors with shockwaves.

So I blocked it with the same earth magic that protected Hones.

The bloody Morgan’s voice continued.

“I’ll see how long this presumptuous speech continues.”

“Your brother is very angry.”

Roaring!

As if no further words were needed, intense flames shone around.

The flow of countless magical powers felt at the same time.

‘It’s a stronger magic than before.’

I felt stronger energy than when I was dealing with Hones.

Is it simply out of anger, or is it because of the judgment that you shouldn’t look down on me.

Wow!

A breath of flame erupted from the magic circle floating in the air.

I had to block all of them because I didn’t have the mobility like a soldier, but I sensed it.

‘This is bait.’

It seemed to be focused on putting out flames.

The power and the flow of the surrounding magic power.

However, behind the scenes, there was another sign of a very weak spell.

‘I have to search first, so should I respond?’

Magic usually has speed, range, and power.

I adjust and use these three things, but I focused only on the power and activated the magic.

Wow!

He responded to Morgan’s attack by spitting out the same breath of flame.

However, my flame was smaller than Morgan’s.

This was because it focused only on power.

Since there is a difference in realm, if you use the same level of magic, you will inevitably be pushed back.

So, I was just trying to block it by focusing only on power.

Wow!

Even so, it was swallowed up by Morgan’s flames.

I managed to break the attack by shooting out the second flame I had prepared.

‘It’s a difference beyond what I expected.’

Now, I figured out how much firepower difference there was.

I’ve always heard that Morgan’s talent lags behind his other brothers, but I didn’t know the exact level.

Surprisingly, the difference in physical talent did not seem to be that great.

‘If it wasn’t for that, the first step would have offset it to some extent.’

Quaaa!

This time three flames burst in.

Morgan also found out about me from the previous battle, so I attacked at a level that I couldn’t cope with.

coo goo!

Earthen walls were built on all sides to block the flames.

damn

However, the earthen wall did not last long.

As soon as we hit it, it cracked.

Kwaaang-!

At that moment, I had a storm inside.

It was intended to confuse the senses by blocking the view with earthen walls and causing magical reactions here and there with the wind.

‘It’s going to be hard to be safe if I just avoid it.’

The moment I escaped from the breath of flame, I felt a flow of mana flowing in all directions.

It was a magic that Morgan secretly laid down when he first activated his breath.

Kwagwagwagwa!

Eventually, a mass of sparks pouring down like a bombardment.

I could feel the activation of earth magic here and there.

‘I was thinking of sending me away with this.’

Roaring!

From nob le mt l dot com

Likewise, it responded by pouring out flames.

Originally, it was a bombardment that I could not counter with my current firepower.

Because it confused Morgan’s senses, he was barely able to block it.

It obstructed sight and senses, reducing the accuracy of attacks.

The attack ended just like that.

The arena was thick with smoke and dust from the fire and earth.

Between them, Morgan’s smile was visible.

“You can’t get out of the level I predicted.”

“I’m surprised you rated me so highly.”

It was said because if it was a normal 5-star intermediate, it would have suffered considerable damage from the current attack.

“I already know you don’t need enlightenment to become a high mage. I saw it at the Proof of Struggle.”

“As I thought, that was the reason my brother was in a hurry.”

Morgan’s brow wrinkled at my answer.

He didn’t answer, but I didn’t care and continued talking.

“I told you that if it wasn’t now, you couldn’t beat me. But after experiencing it today, I can be sure.”

“… … assurance?”

“The conviction that if I reach the 5-star level, I will win unconditionally against my older brother.”

It was hard to live in the eyes of Morgan, who wrinkled his forehead and floated.

A qualitatively different, intense aura from the one I had at the beginning.

It was beyond hot, it was cold.

“You seem to be the only one who knows how to grow, right? You arrogant and ignorant scumbag.”

“Brother, your mouth is too rough.”

Kwak Kwak -!

There was an explosion that seemed to express Morgan’s anger.

Earth magic that condenses mana and shakes the ground.

In response, I strengthened my body with magical power to increase my mobility.

Although it is impossible to show the same efficiency as unmanned.

It was because I realized that I could not respond by standing normally with the previous battle.

“ha ha ha-! It’s embarrassing for a wizard to pretend to be a warrior!”

Jiying.

Magic circles of flames appeared everywhere.

Soon, it was blazing fiercely.

It was as if I was going to burn wherever I went.

‘It’s smoke.’

However, it was judged that this was also a trick.

There was a high possibility that it was a camouflage that seemed to focus only on attacks because of enrage.

‘It’s stable.’

When the detection ability reaches a certain level, the composition of the magic formula or the state of magical power can be recognized.

When I put it off, Morgan’s magic was no different from before.

That anger is real, but it doesn’t break your composure.

‘Contrary to the appearance, he’s the type who uses his brain very well.’

From the confrontation with Hones, Morgan’s attack method was consistent.

After inducing the opponent’s reaction with the magic that he uses proudly.

A type of surprise attack with secretly activated magic.

I didn’t feel like I was trying to activate another magic yet, but I thought the technique would be the same.

Kwakwawang!

In response, I actively moved while receiving Morgan’s attack.

By sharpening his senses, he preoccupied a position where he was not cornered on the defensive, and responded with magic that focused only on power.

Of course, this wasn’t a good move.

It consumes a lot of mana as much as it pours mana into movement.

Because if this situation continued, there would be no way to fight back.

Koo Goo Goo!

But nonetheless, it stayed that way.

This is because you need to fully understand its tendencies and magic so that you can effectively deal with it later.

Roaring!

Due to Morgan’s offensive, the arena was scorched or destroyed.

This meant that the workshop did not come and go once or twice.

I sensed a slight change in the flow.

A subtle difference felt in the flow and magic that is different from the existing magic power.

‘I used a different magic.’

Instead of maintaining this situation, I was thinking of completely suppressing it.

The fact that a 6-star lower class exchanges battles with a 5-star middle class for a long time must be an unpleasant picture for him.

Jiying.

The moment I moved away from the breath of flame as before, numerous magic circles floated in the air.

It was intended to pour out a large amount of magic and hit it somehow if it was nearby.

From the perspective of others, the situation was close to a desperate situation, but I was not taken aback.

‘I’m pouring about 90% of my consciousness into the attack.’

This was also an opportunity.

If you counterattack while responding to this attack, you will be able to successfully attack.

Chara la la rock!

Activated numerous spells for the first time.

A number similar to that of Morgan.

Kwagwagwagwa-!

Numerous fire and land bombardments were blocked with a water barrier.

A method to withstand the attack by continuously activating multiple water magics.

After hiding the main attack, Morgan’s method of pouring out in an instant was inevitably one-shot.

With the magical performance he could achieve, he couldn’t even afford continuity.

‘Kuh… … !’

But even this was not easy.

It was an imminent situation in which an attack would break through the shield if you were even a little careless.

Feeling the difference in firepower due to the realm, I barely endured it.

‘… … Now!’

Do-do-do-do!

While activating the shield, he aimed for an opening and fired an invisible bullet.

An attack that creates an ejection point near Morgan and launches it.

Because it is an attack that focuses only on speed and stealth, it cannot inflict fatal wounds even if it is hit.

With this, you can accurately gauge his level.

Kurrr!

A wall of earth soared at breakneck speed, blocking the bullets I fired.

After that, the soil that fulfilled its role quickly turned into powder and disappeared.

It was only activated to block an attack of this level.

Now I realize he had expected this too.

Taat!

When Morgan’s attack was over, I hopped lightly and got out of the mess.

Then, I took a light breath.

I saw Morgan’s dissatisfied look at me.

“As you said, I haven’t even been hit yet.”

“Did you really care about that? You have quite a bit of room.”

“yes. Your attacks have not deviated from my expectations so far.”

A slight smile appeared on Morgan’s frowning face.

Just like he said, he was concentrating on attacking while preparing for invisible magic until the end.

It was a possible prediction because I saw my sparring in Proof of Struggle.

It was undeniable that it was excellent.

“I was surprised that you were better than I thought, brother.”

Morgan listened in silence at the sudden evaluation.

“To be honest, I looked down on you a little because you had just reached the lower 6-star level.”

What he said now was sincere, not provocative.

My talent is inferior to the target I possessed.

I thought it was a little better than 5-star because I had just reached 6-star.

When I first saw it, it was not pushed back even compared to the average 6-star lower class, and it had enough potential.

If I had been a lower 5 star, I would have had very little chance of winning even if I did my best.

“It’s not at the level of sarcasm. I salute you.”

It was quite an honest compliment and evaluation, but Morgan’s expression crumpled.

The guy who reached the 5-star intermediate level with the elixir must have wanted to say something like that.

“… … I also change my rating. You are crazy.”

“You speak harshly, brother.”

“I look down on an opponent who is at a higher level than you because I have grown rapidly recently. If not crazy, what is?”

“I guess that sounded sarcastic. I was quite sincere.”

Shaking off Morgan’s cold eyes, I smiled slightly.

Although he had spent quite a bit of magic in figuring out the opponent’s exact level and information.

That’s enough.

“Then let’s stick together properly. I don’t like struggle either.”

“What nonsense you keep talking about… … .”

coo coo coo-

As if cutting off Morgan’s words, I radiated darkness.
