Chapter 244: Witness
The magic around Flamme was no longer in its previous violent and surging state, but had become extremely restrained, yet it carried a sacred aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Her teacher, Kurtz, once told her that he created the Light Devouring spell in the field of light magic, which devours all light, compresses it, and then explodes it.
Later, based on sacred magic, he created powerful magic capable of slaying gods.
And now, Flamme was doing the same thing.
Instead of pursuing the more powerful holy magic, she chose to use it as a fusion material, combining it with offensive magic.
This was something she had been trying to do, and it was also a surprise she wanted to give her two teachers.
But now, this surprise had been used on Lady Serie.
The magic that Flamme cast was not any existing magic spell, but a unique fusion magic that she created by combining Kurtz's understanding of holy magic with the powerful offensive magic she learned from Serie!
As her magic power surged, the enormous magic circle floating above her head suddenly burst forth with blinding light.
Divine power and destructive force intertwined and were forcibly combined to form a gigantic sphere whose energy level increased exponentially!
"Teacher! Please bear witness!"
Flamme exclaimed, unsure whether the teacher she was referring to was Kurtz, Serie, or both.
As she completed her magic, the world changed color in an instant.
The once-clear sky suddenly darkened, dark clouds gathered wildly, and the surrounding light became distorted and uncertain.
The magic in this space began to rage, affecting even the surrounding weather.
Kurtz's expression changed drastically.
He could clearly sense that although Flamme's magic was very crude and unstable, its core concept was extremely bold and even crazy.
The combination of holy magic and offensive magic was simply not a field that a mage at her stage should be exploring.
If one were not careful, the first one to be devoured by this out-of-control power would be the caster herself.
What troubled him even more was Serie's reaction.
Faced with magic powerful enough to send the surrounding magic into a frenzy, Serie gradually lost her composure.
Instead, there was an extremely rare solemnity, and even a hint of fighting spirit that had been truly stirred up!
In her eyes, she saw the ever-expanding chaotic energy, from which she clearly sensed a threat.
It didn't come from the magic's current power, but from the immense potential it revealed.
Fusion Magic!
This disciple, whom she had always regarded as someone who needed to be taught, had unknowingly already explored a field that was enough to make even her take notice.
"Excellent!" Serie murmured to herself, her voice soft but brimming with excitement. "That's more like it!"
She no longer regarded Flamme as a disciple who needed guidance, but at this moment, as an opponent worthy of her serious attention.
The fighting spirit within her was fully awakened, and she was determined to completely defeat Flamme in front of her before she could stop.
Without further hesitation, she raised her hand, and a surge of magical power erupted from her body, unleashing a magic circle far more complex and ancient than Flamme's.
A vast, ocean-like surge of magic power erupted from her body, instantly suppressing Flamme's seemingly astonishing magical fluctuations.
Even the surrounding light began to be swallowed up by the magic circle in a strange way.
All the light, whether it was sunlight, magical radiance, or even the faint energy emitted by Flamme's magic, was drawn by this magic circle and frantically converged toward Serie's palm.
An exceptionally white singularity, so extreme that it was impossible to look directly at, appeared in the center of her palm.
That was a compressed mechanism, containing a light of destructive power.
It was the ultimate destructive magic that Kurtz created and taught her, which would later become the pinnacle of light magic.
"Strive to live on, my foolish apprentice!"
The white singularity suddenly expanded, not emitting light, but frantically devouring all the light and energy around it.
The compressive force within it caused the surrounding space to groan under its strain, and it even began to distort.
On one side was fusion magic, which touched taboos and was also an entirely new field; on the other side was the strongest light magic, capable of making gods bleed.
Two potent and terrifying spells were about to collide in this forest.
At this critical moment!
"Enough!!!"
Without warning, Kurtz appeared simultaneously in the center of the two destructive energies.
He had his back to Flamme and was facing Serie, with his arms outstretched to the sides at the same time.
As his own domain expanded, two extremely complex magic circles suddenly appeared.
These magic circles neither generated nor absorbed energy; their sole function was to create an absolute magical vacuum, forcibly interrupting and repelling any energy flow that attempted to enter.
This naturally included the magic that Flamme and Serie were about to unleash.
"Disperse!!"
Creating a magical vacuum zone was not enough. The magic of these two was almost complete. He must also turn the energy within it into nothingness, so that it had no power as much as possible.
Upon seeing Kurtz appear, Serie did not hesitate and immediately abandoned the idea of continuing to cast spells, allowing him to dissolve her magic gradually.
But Flamme could not stop.
Her magic was inherently unstable, and given that she had forcibly gathered such powerful energy, she couldn't let go of it easily.
Otherwise, the caster would be annihilated immediately.
Fortunately, Kurtz intervened in time.
He forcibly took control of the magic in their hands, suppressing it until only a small amount of energy remained. Without hesitation, he threw it high into the air, where it exploded like fireworks.
Even after the explosion's shockwave subsided, everyone remained standing, unable to recover for a long time.
Kurtz's breathing became much more rapid; forcibly interrupting two such powerful spells at the same time was by no means an easy task, even for him.
To his left, Flamme collapsed to the ground, her magic completely depleted, unable to move even a finger. She could only stare blankly at Kurtz's back, her eyes filled with lingering fear.
Her unfinished forbidden spell had been forcibly dispelled.
To his right, Serie landed slowly, her magic began to subside, and there was no sign of paleness on her face.
There was a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at Kurtz; she clearly hadn't expected that he would be able to stop the two of them forcefully.
Although Kurtz thwarted the final spell, the forest was left in ruins thanks to their previous battle.
The only sound in the entire arena was Kurtz's slightly rapid breathing.
Kurtz first looked at Flamme, who lay on the ground, with a complicated expression that combined blame, relief, and lingering fear.
He then turned to Serie and said: "Nonsense! Do you both want to wipe this forest, along with yourselves, from the face of the earth?!"
