Infinite Mage

After 20 seconds, the casting of the explosion ceased. accent When Shirone searched with his Spirit Zone, he could no longer feel the magic circle’s energy.

The diameter of the zone being four times shorter than during the test increased the speed exponentially, putting even Shirone on edge.

Shirone, following the collapsing ground, was gradually being buried deeper into the earth.

Shirone’s explosive magic didn’t stop there. armor Photons laden with physical force continued to pound the thousands of rock fragments until they were reduced to the size of grains of rice.

No one answered. harbor Everyone watching Shirone was in a state of shock, their faces mirroring the same dumbfounded expression.

Amy let out an incredulous laugh.

“Ha, seriously Shirone, can we stick to conventional magic?”

“Phew, Amy, is this satisfactory?”

Amy entered her Spirit Zone to check, though it was unnecessary. harbor Even without Synesthesia, the surroundings where the magic circle had been were utterly devastated.

“Huh? orbit Oh, yeah, probably.”

“What? harbor I put a lot of thought into this. acid Anyway, the magic circle is destroyed, right?”

Despite its limited range, the force capable of pulverizing the ground into dust made any disadvantage insignificant.

The combination of Vajra Body’s resilience, Immortal Function’s use of God’s Particles, and the brilliance of Photon magic created a perfectly synergized magic.

Approaching Shirone’s location, Amy observed the concave terrain and realized the unique nature of Shirone’s new magic.

‘Amplification of photons using mental pulsation. echo He must have thought of this during practice, but this destruction is absurd, isn’t it?’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Ah, I see. atomic So, this is a defensive magic?”

“But what on earth made you think of this?”

“Huh? anxiety Oh, I didn’t plan to use it like this. admire Defense Form is my specialty, so I was thinking I needed to learn a defensive magic. shadow Then I thought of mental pulsation and tried combining it with God’s Particles.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Yeah, a defensive magic.”

In essence, it’s a magic that creates a barrier of light packed with mass, which is rapidly repelled, creating a counterforce.

Amy almost slapped Shirone but restrained herself. sphere Among the defensive magics she knew, this was arguably the most destructive.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Though multi-attack magic is classified as a shotgun, Wildfire surpasses that, acting more like a barrier, and would likely be registered as a defensive magic by the association.

Either way, strictly speaking, it was indeed a defensive magic.

While a single blast might be weaker than a Photon Cannon, at twenty pulses per second, nothing would remain intact around it.

“I’m fine. meadow The magic wasn’t as dangerous as I thought.”

“Shirone, are you alright? matrix Are you hurt anywhere?”

“Not dangerous? altitude I thought even you would be shattered.”

Tess rushed over, concerned. apple Wildfire was the most ruthless and brutish magic she had ever seen, and Shirone being at the center of it seemed miraculous.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Unlike typical defensive magics, which rely on the thickness of a barrier for durability, Wildfire uniquely uses the momentum of the maximum and minimum radii to create a repelling force.

Indeed, Wildfire was designed to protect the mage, making its destructive power a secondary feature.

“Ha! abstract Really, I’m okay. portal It wouldn’t be called a defensive magic if it injured the mage, right?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Therefore, as long as the minimum radius is set just outside the mage, the mage will never be swept up in Wildfire, akin to being in the eye of a storm.

Coming to her senses, Amy immediately revised their strategy.

“Let’s get serious now. aluminum Now that I’ve got the rhythm, I can cast it faster. amber It won’t be a problem to destroy a magic circle in 30 seconds.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone and his team formed pairs and teleported. meadow Two streaks of light darted through the forest, seeking their next prey.

There was no disagreement.

“Right, with this magic, we can keep destroying the magic circles. anchor Let’s avoid combat as much as possible and focus on demolishing the magic circles first. canvas We’ll provoke the enemies. sphere And when they can’t stand it anymore, we’ll counterattack all at once. auction How about that?”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Wildfire.”

* * *

An explosion of light centered around Shirone. action As the barrier of photons battered the ground, the magic circle was obliterated without a trace.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Damn it! audit How long are those bastards going to keep this up?”

However, as the number of destroyed magic circles surpassed fifteen, the enemies began to show signs of change. audit They feared leaving the magic circles unattended any longer would result in their total destruction.

Despite gritting their teeth as each costly magic circle was destroyed, they maintained their stance, enduring the situation.

Shirone’s team was now on their seventh magic circle demolition. adopt During the battles, they had also reduced the enemy numbers by seven, but the veterans didn’t easily fall for Shirone’s team’s tactics.

The ten-man squad captain shared the frustration.

“We’re in real danger now. arch We can only use magic circles at specific points, and three is the limit. arcade At this rate, our operational range will shrink drastically.”

“Captain! atlas What should we do? atlas It seems like they’re hell-bent on ruining us.”

To fortify the northern forest, the Freemans had invested half of their five-year earnings.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Leaving things as they were meant that even if they won, it would be as good as a loss.

A messenger relayed the captain’s orders to other squad leaders through the magic circles. arrow The other leaders, sharing the same thoughts, quickly responded.

Shirone’s team immediately sensed the shift in the battle atmosphere. avalanche Not only the enemies’ movements but even their gazes had changed.

“Gather everyone. autumn We’ll trap them and take them down.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The most significant change was their shift from guerrilla tactics to surrounding them with dozens at once.

Tess marveled at the enemies’ tactical adaptation. arcade They were clearly experienced in such situations.

Despite their numerical advantage, they weren’t foolish enough to engage in a head-on battle against a party that included two mages.

But the vast encirclement aimed not for Shirone’s team’s annihilation but to lure them somewhere.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“But what if it’s a trap?”

“It’s fine. orbit We’ll break through there. album It’s better to conserve our strength for now.”

“This poses a new problem. amateur They’re trying to corral us somewhere. shadow There must be a trap waiting to eliminate the mages.”

Shirone wasn’t concerned. athlete If the enemies were coming at them with all they had, it was now a race against time. crystal They had to reach their destination and rescue Yuna as soon as possible.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone sped up, taking the lead. harbor He believed in his Schema’s ability to turn the situation around, but Tess couldn’t muster the courage to overtake him.

To Tess, the current Shirone was unrecognizable. avalanche He had always been kind and gentle, so it was natural to be surprised.

“Whew, Shirone is really something.”

“I’ll break through. portal Leave it to me.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Shirone was her biggest concern during this battle. adapt She had asked Rian if he could kill, but Shirone was implicitly included in her concern.

He showed no fear, and his approach to enemies was flawless.

Yet, once they engaged in real combat, Shirone transformed completely.

This was a uniqueness only Shirone possessed.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Their swordfight in the training ground was still chilling to recall.

While brutality and cruelty can be virtues in a struggle, the way Shirone fought was like watching a machine, calculating efficiency over and over.

Shirone’s insight could even comprehend the fear of death. action Rian had sweated bullets watching Shirone charge with nothing but his sword in mind.

Sensing Tess’s emotions, Rian quietly smiled, reminded of when he first met Shirone.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

She knew how impressive Shirone’s insight was, but it seemed powerful variables like Yuna and Marsha were influencing him now.

While Rian was nostalgic, Amy looked worriedly at Shirone.

“Remember this, Tess. apple That’s Shirone. legend Once he gets going, no one can stop him.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian threw his support behind Shirone, accelerating his pace, but Tess agreed with Amy. adopt Even as they ran, she analyzed their surroundings and spoke seriously.

“We’re running out of time. alpha If Shirone says he’ll do it, I won’t stop him.”

“Isn’t this too reckless? antenna He’s just charging straight ahead without analyzing the strategy.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Okay, that sounds good. antique But what do you mean by ‘strange terrain’?”

“Amy, the terrain is strange. atom The men are fired up, so let’s balance things out.”

“If it’s not artificially altered, we’ll soon enter a valley. absorb It’s an ideal spot for setting a trap. aluminum It could be dangerous.”

Nature follows its laws. amateur While humans alter shapes to suit their needs, nature never goes against its principles.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The increased moisture and prevalence of ferns over shrubs indicated they were heading towards a valley.

Considering the mountain ranges they had passed, the terrain was steadily descending.

Blocking the front and attacking from both sides is a textbook strategy in warfare.

‘That means they’ve dammed the valley.’

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

The biggest problem was the dwindling number of enemies previously forming the encirclement.

Amy nodded without complaint. acoustic The path was narrowing, and the cliffs were becoming insurmountable.

“Amy, we have to stop Shirone.”

Tess was conflicted. admire The urgency was real, but playing into the enemy’s hands could lead to their demise.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Why is he doing this?”

Amy’s call went unheard. anxiety Before she could speak, Shirone had teleported away with Rian, unwilling to slow down.

“I’ll tell him. antique Shirone! alert Wait!”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

If teleportation magic was the sole criterion, Amy’s skills were comparable to Shirone’s but not enough to surpass him.

But catching up to Shirone was futile.

Despite everything, Amy had to pursue. altitude She grabbed Tess’s waist and teleported.

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian, puzzled, asked, “Shirone, why the rush? abandon Even I can tell this is a trap.”

Rushing forward, Shirone and Rian quickly reached the valley entrance.

Shirone knew Amy was following and didn’t stop his magic. portal He seemed determined to continue regardless.

There, Shirone halted his teleportation and ran along a shallow stream.

“It’s not just about difficulty. timber We could die. adjust Let me do it.”

“That’s why I’m hurrying. action I have to destroy the trap somehow. abstract Depending on the trap, I can concentrate the enemy’s attacks using Wildfire.”

“What if you fail?”

“Then we’re trapped. aspect If we don’t succeed here, the mission’s difficulty will skyrocket.”

Content of Infinite Mage - Chapter 150: Forced Breakthrough (4) published by TrungTu Reads.

Rian realized why Shirone had sped ahead. arcade If Shirone had mentioned facing the enemy’s assault alone, neither Tess nor Amy would have agreed.

“No, I have to do it because I can. wizard If you keep this up, I’ll have to leave you behind.”

Shirone was willing to take risks for a higher chance of success. adapt He sensed the urgency to rescue Yuna.
