Blue Salt Enhanced Moonblade Impact
Chapter 434 Blue Salt Blessing - Moonblade Impact
Even among freshmen of the same year, different groups would emerge. Especially after the groups were divided at the beginning of the semester, students from the 'Gomoshu District' and the 'Milne District' would roughly be divided into two groups due to differences in their upbringing and personal relationships. The group division after the opening ceremony further exacerbated this distinction and competition, resulting in students from the 'Gomoshu District' and 'Milne District' rarely interacting with each other and usually communicating and acting with students from the same district.
This conflict is an extension of the contradictions and competition between the two groups. However, most people would not make such a big fuss, but Mogshe and Vilik are the troublemakers of the two groups, which escalated the originally small conflict to the point where it is now.
The competition was a three-on-three contest, with each side sending three people. Before it even started, Vilik and his companions were already discussing how to deal with Mogsh.
"If we don't teach him a lesson now, he'll probably start bragging about how we chickened out, while he becomes the 'good guy' who's always helping his friends," one person said sarcastically.
“We should keep him bedridden for at least a month,” another companion suggested.
"But we have to be careful, the professor will investigate if it's too heavy." The students still have a lot of respect for the professors of the Tethys Academy.
“Break his leg, so that even if it’s set, he’ll have to use crutches.”
"Let's do it this way." After discussing it, the group entered the battlefield.
"The competition begins!" After the teacher announced, both sides immediately started their actions.
Murgish activated the bronze golem beside him. Driven by its core, the golem moved with its willow-like legs, rapidly twisting its joints.
On the other side, the three of them, including Verick, raised a circular curtain barrier. Then, one of them used the secret technique of 'Golden Steam' to briefly solidify the barrier projection into a physical entity, enhancing its defensive capabilities.
The golem quickly approached, then unleashed its sharp twin blades and began slashing at the pale golden curtain barrier. Mergesh's two companions also cast spells to imbue the golem with different abilities, making its twin blades gleam with silver light and become even sharper. The golem's surface was also covered with pale silver patterns, gaining resistance to earth magic.
Inside the curtain, the three of them, including Verick, faced a golem about three meters tall, which was only inches away from them. They began to cast spells. One of them used a more powerful 'Mobius Twisting Spell', which twisted and knotted the copper bars inside the golem, destroying part of its structure.
Then, another person took out a potion and broke it open. The pale blue liquid floated up and, under manipulation, transformed into a large, flowing crescent-shaped blade.
[Blue Salt Enhancement - Moonblade Impact]
After the azure liquid formed a curved crescent blade, a faint cold light flashed, and the entire liquid emitted a strange radiance. Then the curtain disappeared, the crescent blade passed through, slicing the bronze bar golem in half, and continued its momentum towards Mogsh behind it.
At this speed, Murgish has no extra reaction time, and if he cannot withstand it, one of his legs will be severed by the Moonblade. Moreover, due to the special potion, the wounds cut by the Moonblade will cause infection and salting, making recovery extremely slow.
The opponent's plan was not complicated, but without prior preparation, it would have been almost impossible for Mogsh to evade it.
"You really think highly of me." Upon seeing this, Mogshe spat out a remark.
Enhancing spells with potions to amplify their effects is not uncommon in mage combat; the renowned 'Four Salts School' is particularly adept at this technique. However, consuming a third-tier potion in a contest solely for the sake of victory is quite unexpected.
Fortunately, he wasn't completely unprepared. After Hiltiah explained the requirements of the bet, he had prepared a plan to avoid any injuries during the match. Moreover, Hiltiah had also said that if he fought according to her instructions, she would help him upgrade and improve the golem for free, so he naturally couldn't miss such an opportunity.
At this moment, Murgish activated the magic orb he had prepared long ago. The crimson grid spread out and collided with the incoming moon blade, shattering together. Simultaneously, Murgish pushed off with his feet, and the lightness ability his companions had recently granted took effect. His body leaped nearly three meters high, then thrashed awkwardly in the air a few times before landing on the back of the bronze golem. Next, he grabbed the golem's joint with one hand, and with the power of the 'Golden Steam' aspect flowing in, the previously paralyzed golem reactivated. By this time, the curtain that Verick and his companions had erected had dissipated, leaving them no time to use it to create cover. With the golem reactivated, the three were forced to scramble to dodge, having no time to organize a powerful counterattack. Murgish's other two teammates didn't stand idly by either, continuously casting spells to attack. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Verick and his companions fell into a disadvantageous position.
A few minutes later, the three were defeated one by one.
"Morgash's side wins!" the teacher announced the result of the match. In his opinion, there was nothing special about the match, except that Verick spent a lot of money to use the spell blessed by blue salt, which was unexpected.
After the results were announced, some students from both sides were surprised, some were excited, some were indifferent, and some looked at Hilti thoughtfully before leaving.
After cheering and enjoying the praise, Mogsh walked over to Sylvia, hoping to get the reward the girl had mentioned earlier.
"Your reaction speed is not bad." The girl nodded slightly. Of course, she would keep her promise to help, but she also wanted to take this opportunity to discipline Mogsh and make him focus his energy on studying this area instead of causing trouble every day.
“I will help you improve the golem’s structure, which will involve some theories from the ‘Phantom School.’ I will only teach you once, and how much you learn depends on yourself.” She knew that with Morgesh’s personality, he would definitely not give up this opportunity to learn and understand, and would immerse himself in it for at least a month.
That should keep them quiet, the girl said, smoothing her hair behind her ear before leading a group away from the battlefield.
Spencer and a few others arrived several minutes after she left, only to find that the competition had already ended.
He glanced at Verick, who was still somewhat disappointed and embarrassed, and frowned slightly.
He disliked Vilik forming cliques in the first place; it was like creating another state within a state among the students he led. Now, he had lost to Hedra's group in a grand manner, making him lose face. It made it seem as if not only he couldn't beat Hedra, but even the students he led, who were supposed to be more outstanding, couldn't beat Hedra's leading students.
"Tell me the reasons and the process." He already knew the result.
Afterwards, Verick gave a general account of the process, and other classmates around him added some details. Spencer quickly grasped a certain detail.
"You mean Hedra came all this way specifically and gave me some instructions before the competition in Mogsh?"
"That's right, Chief Spencer."
“I understand,” Spencer said with an expression that said, “I knew it.”
I was wondering how that stubborn guy from the 'Gemash district' had suddenly become so smart and even knew how to use tactics. It seems like someone was giving him pointers behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, she not only wanted to surpass him in personal strength, but also wanted to make him appear incompetent in terms of leadership skills. How treacherous and despicable! Spencer felt that Hilti was not as innocent and gentle as outsiders said. In his eyes, this girl who had defeated him was a black-hearted, evil opponent who made him feel anxious and fearful.
I can't just sit here and wait to die. It's time to think of a way to suppress her and teach her a lesson.
