SPELLCRAFT: REINCARNATION OF A MAGIC SCHOLAR - Chapter 526

No one could have known this, except it and its creator, but if not for the power of Spellcraft, Gawain wouldn’t have been able to move so freely.

That was how dangerous Aloe Vida’s Original Magic was.

Even with its speed, Gawain was unable to catch up to the woman.

The only thing it could do was surround her with enough threats, so she could be still for a moment.

‘You’re too cautious.’ Gawain had been assessing his opponent since the start of their fight, and this was his conclusion.

If only Aloe Vida was more proactive and brutal in her assault, he would have been far more pressured.

“You lack enough violence.”

With those words, he increased the level of projectiles he sent, and also their numbers.

“Tch!” Aloe Vida clicked her tongue as she was overwhelmed by the sheer numbers that seemed to push her to her limits.

Her barrier’s integrity plummeted, and Gawain sharply moved to deal the finishing blow.

“Damnit!” Aloe managed to dodge his strike, even while being incapacitated in midair, but she could not have predicted what came next.

>BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!BOOOOOOOOOMMMMFWUUUUUSSSHHHHBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM<

Space seemed to break as Gawain also let out the fierce energy that was within it.

Pure shire power surged from its armored body.

A white blade appeared on its hand, and several white orbs danced around it.

The climbing energy it had dominated the atmosphere, and it stared at Edward with resolve.

"Martial State. Plus Mage Mode. And then, Fusion Mode."

"Uh?!!"

"I have access to all three forms… so I suppose we have revealed our cards now," Gawain spoke, brandishing the blade it wielded as it approached Edward.

The Martial Artist was stunned that the Automaton he was fighting had attained Martial State despite being so proficient in Magic.

Mage Mode and Martial State at once… how was that even possible?

Plus, since it could use Fusion Mode, that meant it had a Familiar as well.

Edward couldn't believe the absurdity of the situation, but he calmed himself.

No matter who his opponent was, it wasn't like he would lose his nerve.

Besides…

"Isn't this what you wanted? An opponent to stimulate you!" The boy smiled underneath his armor.

Also brandishing his purplish-white blade, Edward readied himself for the action to come.

~There's something you should know, Edward.~ His familiar chimed in.

"What is it, Perci?"

~…~ For a moment, there was silence in Edward's inner realm, but it only lasted for a brief moment.

Afterward, the deep voice of his Familiar returned.

~If you fight that guy… you'll lose.~

Edward's smile did not cease despite hearing that. No, he smiled even wider.

"It doesn't matter. I want to fight him!"

Unlike the time with the Demon General here he achieved such an easy victory, this was a fight where he had to exert himself to the max.

Even if victory wasn't in sight he would push himself to the limits and evolve further.

That was how Martial Artists grew!

"HAAAAAAAAA!!!" With a surge of power exploding within and without, Edward roared and dashed in Gawain's direction.

'I'll fight to keep getting stronger. Until…!!!'
