The Mage Will Master Magic Efficiently In His Second Life

Translator: Jiro Editor: Ryunakama

Hm! Silverie said as she tried to dodge Yeras relentless strikes.

However, it was to no avail. The button of Silveries cloak flew off from the impact and her cloak fluttered in the air. Beneath it, Silveries shirt also tore, exposing her chest.

The crowd raised their voices as they witnessed that defenseless chest.

WHOAA! Good job Yera!!

You sure know how to entertain the crowd!!

The vulgar cheers resounded in the venue, while Yera waved their hand at them.

Her bad tastes never change.

?!!

Silverie backed off and tried to cover her chest as she held onto her cloak.

She then looked towards Yera and saw her drop the button that had been holding her cloak just now.

Yeras aim had been not to injure Silverie, but rather strip her from her defensive equipment.

Yera let out a boastful laugh as she looked down at the bend over Silverie.

Your equipment becomes useless once its stripped, isnt that right?

Still the thing that probably affected Silverie the most were the cheers, filled with excitement, that could be heard from the spectators.

Yera and Silverie faced each other.

Yera then once again charged at Silverie.

While dodging Silveries spells Yera continued to flutter her sleeves. Each time she did so more buttons fell, Silveries clothes were torn and the crowd grew even louder.

WHOAAA?! Sellies clothes are being cut up by Yeras fierce attacks!! Is this the end for her?!!

It was true that an opponent who had specifically prepared equipment with resistances was a hard one to deal with, however considering Yera had heaps of experience it was only natural for her to have a way to deal with it.

It was just as she said, she needed to just strip it.

That is why it was way safer to opt for cards that would raise your fire power or your physical capabilities.

Especially since Silveries opponent this time is none other than the Wind of Wind Yera.

Shes probably faced countless opponents like this before.

Yeras countermeasure is that wind covering her

As long as she touched Silverie, Silveries clothes would get caught up in that wind and be torn.

There were probably numerous other means to go about it, however considering that Yera loved to hype up the crowd, it was no surprise that she chose this one.

Relying on resistance equipment is definitely not a good strategy. I said

Then why did Silverie do it? asked Milly.

I dont know. She probably has something in mind

The determination that I saw from Silverie the other day.Theres no way that determination was based on a strategy of this level.

Even though her clothes were constantly being ripped by Yeras attacks, Silverie kept trying to dodge as if she was trying to get a feel for the distance.

Yera wasnt able to land a clean hit on her, however even more and more parts of Silveries pale skin became exposed under her cloak.

Well then, what will you do? If you still have something up your sleeve, then let me see it!!

As Yera spoke she threw out her arm forward, however her hand was stopped by Silveries cloak.

The cloak continued to wrap itself around Yeras arm until it had completely gotten a hold of it.

Huh?!

Yera desperately tried to pull out her hand, however the cloak wouldnt let up.

WHOOA?!! Sellies cloak captured Yera!!! What in the world happened?!! said the announcer

Zeph, what happened? asked Milly while pulling on my clothes as I was concentrating on the match.

Think on your own for gods sake

That cloak. It cant be destroyed. It has a Thorn Snails card applied to it.

I see But didnt you say before that theres not much point in a card that makes an equipment indestructible?

Even if clothes are high grade, and durable they still dont cost that much. That is why its more efficient to equip it with another type of card rather than using up one of your precious five slots to make it indestructible.

I thought that she had used all of her five cards for Sky resistance but in reality she only used four.Guess I was wrong But this just means that her other defenses are just too weak.

It seemed like Yera had the same thought as me, as she looked at Silverie and laughed.

So? Do you think youve caught me with this? If I managed to shoot at you from this range, then theres no way for you to w

Enchant Spell: Quick

Alongside Silveries words a black snake appeared.

However, Yera promptly figured out that it wasnt meant for attack and immediately prepared to attack.

Hmph, youre slow, slow!!

A wind began to envelop Yeras body. It was Black Boots.

Yera then immediately began to unleash a flurry of attacks.

Silverie tried to counter, however Yeras attacks were just way faster.

Silverie was forced on the defensive, while being able to land just a single attack.

Ill commend you on forcing me to use something besides Sky magic.

A screeching sound rang as it shaved off at Silveries mind.

It was Green Rush.

With four cards, Silverie was able to raise her Sky Resistance to a 100%, however on the other hand her resistance to other systems, such as the Green System, was significantly lower.

But even so, Silverie refused to give up as she continued to circle her magic power within her body.

Oh raging storm, oh lightning, annihilate your enemy!! whispered out Silverie softly, and with confidence as Yera was about to cast another Green Rush

?!!

Black Thunder!

The lightning struck the isolated space and fell on Silverie and Yera.

Sparks fluttered from Yeras charred body.

Originally one wasnt able to use Black Thunder unless the sky was cloudy. However, because this isolated space strengthened Sky magic to a ridiculous degree one could still use it.

U Urgh?!

Yeras expression twisted as she suffered from the pain.

The Sky Systems Great Spell Black Thunder, albeit for a short time it was able to paralyze the body, preventing movement.

However, since it had a cast time and was quite powerful to boot, almost no one used it with that purpose.

Oh raging storm, oh lightning, annihilate your enemy, Black Thunder!!

You So thats what your aim wa AHHHH!!

The lightning fell down on Silverie and Yera once again.

Silveries cloak was still wrapped around Yeras arm and due to the effect of the spell Yera wasnt able to escape.

Silverie was able to block the paralyzing effect of the spell due to her Sky System Resistances, which meant that only Yera got paralyzed.

While looking at the stumbling Yera Silverie cast Black Thunder for the third time.

WHOAAA?! This is gruesome! A suicidal attack by using Black Thunder! However, due to her resistances Sellie is able to nullify the effect on herself!!

The announcers voice was drowned by the sound of the thunder and the whole isolated space was illuminated by the thunders light.

I see. Shes using her equipment in order to prevent the paralyzing effect of the thunder, while at the same time reducing the cast time with her unique spell. Not a bad tactic if I can say so myself.

Isnt it kind of unfair though? asked Milly kind of troubled.

The spectators had the same feelings as her, as their loud boos were heard.

However, this was a type of tactic as well. It couldnt be called unfair.

A lot of work is required in order to lure your opponent up to that point. If you think its unfair then just try to do it yourself.

Thats true but

Still it is quite unusual to prepare so thoroughly.In order to be accepted as one of the Five Heavenly Mages, in the end one must show that theyre powerful enough.This method probably wont leave a good impression on the Magician Association.Even if she wins, theres no guarantee that shell be chosen.And last but not least, Yeras fighting spirit is still alive.

Even though she was being struck by lightning, Yera continued to look for gaps and used Green Crash whenever possible. Each time she did that Silveries clothes were torn.

If Yera was able to somehow destroy Silveries defensive equipment, she would ruin Silveries plan. As long as she did that Silverie would have no hope of winning.

So in the end its an endurance contest

Yeah.

Even so for Yera to be able to hold on this much, she sure is a tough one.Still theres no way shes not exhausted even after taking all those great spells.She must have a limit.Please hold on Silverie

Both of them continued that stand-off until the eight lightning brought about its end.

Urgh!!

The thunder charred Silveries body and the sparks moved about her muscles.

Yera laughed as she opened her hand to let go of the remains of Silveries white shirt.

This is it said Yera. As she threw away Silveries shirt the crowd roared.

I dont mind if you continue. said Yera provocatively.

!!

She then began to launch attacks as Silverie was still stunned by the last thunder.

Yera began casting repeated Green Rushes and between the time it took to cast each one the wind that enveloped her body also bared itself at Silverie.

Silverie undid the binding of her cloak and tried to create some distance, but Yera provocatively began to leisurely walk towards her.

It wasnt just Silveries shirt. Due to Yeras fierce attacks, most of Silveries clothing was ripped apart.

Silverie was desperately trying to hide herself with her cloak. No matter how one looked at it, it wasnt a pretty sight.

This is the end. If youre going to surrender now is the time

I see. Yera ordered her wind to attack Silverie as she chose to stay quiet until the very end.

This is it.

I circled behind Milly and covered her eyes and ears.

W-What are you doing Zeph?!

Youre too young to see this.

Youre still treating me like a kid! Let go of me!! she raged desperately so I also blocked off her mouth as I continued to watch Silveries fight.

From there on out it turned into a one-sided battle.

Yera continuously attacked Silverie, as she was left almost butt naked. The enchanted equipment the Silverie wore was torn one by one, and each time it did so the crowd cheered.

Silverie give up!

Silverie didnt even respond to my Telepathy.

Silverie stood up as she covered herself with her already tattered cloak.

Zeph it hurts!! said Milly as she used her hands to hit my head

Im sorry.

It seems I accidentally put strength into my hands.I had completely forgotten that I was covering Millys eyes.

Its over. I said.

Yeras attack landed on Silverie and she fell to her knees.

Using Scout Scope, I managed to see that Silveries Magic Power had dropped to -124. With that she wouldnt even be able to stand up anymore.

The battle was over. She was unable to fight anymore.
