“Enough!” (?????)

Suddenly Oz, Sen, Alfred, Albus, Edreale, Peter, and the generals’ movement got restricted by something similar to a fire bind.

Who could make Oz and 10 sword saints movement restricted!?

(S-so strong!) (Oz)

(Master, I believe it’s a spell cast by a magic god) (Reo)

(Magic god…) (Oz)

Oz tried his best to tilt his face, trying to see the figure who had the power to bind 10 sword saints and him.

“You’re in the presence of her majesty, the queen, don’t disgrace yourselves,” Oz finally sees the figure who is floating above of them.

“M-master Oxius…” The supreme commander mutters the mighty name while slightly shivers.

Oz could sense enormous fire mana from the magic god. Oxius stares at his adopted son, Albus for a moment, and Oz captures a little grin formed at his mouth.

(Damn… I’m Dead) (Albus)

But Oz is not satisfied yet, to give such an arrogant person the position of a supreme commander, no wonder the people always got oppressed by the nobles.

(Magic god my ass! It’s your fault for interrupting the fight!) (Oz)

(Master! Don’t be rash!) (Fenrir)

“Hm?” (Oxius)

Oz musters all his strength to move his index finger, and point it to the magic god, Oxius.

“Fire bullet,” Oz mutters.

!!!???

Oz’s sudden attack surprises everyone present at the magic arena, but different from the others, old man Kyron only grins broadly when he saw the scene.

“HAHAHA! I believe you feel it too, Oxius! That spirit! That strength!” (Old man Kyron)

Fire bullet, a spell that makes a bullet made from the fire element. The stronger the supply of fire it gets, the stronger the bullet will be, and the reason why Oz chooses that spell.

Is because the fire element will only strengthen the bullet.

(T-this kid…) (Oxius)

But Oxius is a magic god! He had countless experiences of battles. He dispels the fire bind he cast to bind Oz and co and cast: “Fire Staff,”

The fired bullet hits the magic god’s staff, but it doesn’t damage it, but the fired bullet scatters and enveloped the staff.

Oz clicked his tongue.

“Tsk. As expected of a magic god,” (Oz)n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Whoosh!

Oxius waved both of his hands to the side, and the generals and Alfred and co got thrown away to their seat at the spectator place. He slammed his staff to the ground, and a fire circle enveloped the battle arena.

Oxius and Oz size up each other.

“Not bad, kid. As expected of the one that old geezer has chosen as his successor, you made me remember our old friend,” (Oxius)

“….” Oz remains silent.

(I start to understand why you chose this kid, Kyron) (Oxius)

(His fiery gaze when he saw a rotten person) (Oxius)

(His bold way of fighting) (Oxius)

(His presence that made people inspire others) (Oxius)

(He resembles him… As if they’re the same person from the beginning…) (Oxius)

(He resembles him. The legendary king of Grandaria. Our mentor. Arthur Godwinson Grandaria!) (Oxius)

Seeing the strangely silent Oxius, Oz started his move.

“Fire Guardian!” (Oz)

A dense fire mana gathered in front of Oz, and a countless fire starts to gather and forms a huge figure, a 2-meter burning knight, using a burning armor, and a burning shield and a burning sword at both of his hands.

“Fire manipulation,” Oxius cast, and the fire guardian’s master changed.

(Just by using one spell, he takes over my fire guardian? Fine!) (Oz)

Oz gathers his enormous mana, and planning to turn the table once more, “Fire dragon…”

But Oz’s cultivation level isn’t that high enough, so the dragon is only at the size of a horse, but it’s more than enough. The mini dragon absorbs all of the fire from the fire guardian, and absorb its armor too, making the mini dragon to form an armor protecting its body.

“Naive!” (Oxius)

“Fire typhoon!” Following Oxius’s shout, a huge fire typhoon enveloped the fire dragon and swallowed it.

Whoosh!

The fire typhoon suddenly disappeared together with the fire dragon, but when Oxius shifts his gaze to Oz, he got surprised.

(H-he’s gone!?) (Oxius)

“Fire claws!!!” Oz appeared above Oxius’s above, but Oxius didn’t get flustered.

“Hmph! Blast!” (Oxius)

The tip of Oxius’s staff always pointed upwards, so without having to make any other movement, Oxius blast Oz, throwing Oz away for about 40 meters.

“Ren!!” (Alfred and co)

(Shit… Even a simple ‘Blast’ spell become so powerful when it is used by a magic god, I never thought it will give me this much of damage) (Oz)

An advance spell needs a longer time to use than a basic spell, so Oz thought that his ‘Fire Claws’ spell wouldn’t be deflected by Oxius. But he never thought that his advance spell will get overpowered by a basic spell, and it even injures him quite badly.

With his breathe start to get disordered, Oz started to think to use his cards.

“Since it came to this…” Oz about to summon his cards, but his sight suddenly gets hazy and blur, and his body starts to lose its strength.

“D-damn…” (Oz)

(Master!!!) (Fenrir and Reo)

Oz could faintly hear Edreale shouting his name, but his consciousness had started to fade away.

(I lost to another old man, huh…) (Oz)

***********************************

Oz vaguely sees a scene, he felt very familiar with the scene, he knew that he ever saw this scene before, Oz tried to focus his sight more, and suddenly anger and hatred envelope his heart.

It’s the demon king that killed the old owner of this body.

It’s the slave dealer that conspires together with the demon king.

The scene rewinds multiple times as if craving the scene deeply to Oz’s memory. Even though Oz felt so angry, but somehow, he couldn’t shout or even let out a voice from his mouth.

Oz could only clench his fist strongly as he saw the hometown of his body old owner got destroyed by the demon king. As Oz’s heart started to get more corrupted by the hatred and the anger he felt, Oz vaguely hears a voice he didn’t know from.

“Master!!!” Fenrir’s loud voice wakes Oz up from his dream.

“Huh? Where am I?” Oz confusedly asked.

“This is the magic academy’s clinic, you’ve been sleeping here for a whole day, master,” (Fenrir)

“I see…” (Oz)

Oz observes his surroundings. A room filled with medical equipment appears at Oz’s sight.

(As expected of the famous magic academy of the kingdom, huh. They had the complete set of medical equipment) (Oz)

Oz takes a look at his body, and he found that his body is covered with bandages. Again.

Oz leak out a sigh.

Oz suddenly remembered by the dream he just had. He promised to himself that he’ll find them, and kill them all to let the old owner of the body rest in peace.

“What happened to you, master? You suddenly get enveloped by a demonic aura! But when I wake you up, the demonic aura suddenly disappeared!” The small white puppy said to Oz with her child-like voice.

“Demonic aura?” Asked Oz.

“Yes, master. I think that the source of the demonic aura is from the curse at your arm,” The black cat told Oz with his deep voice.

Oz takes a peek at his right arm, and he got surprised when he saw it.

“W-what the hell?” (Oz)

The curse that looks like a black wing tattoo at Oz’s right arm suddenly got bigger than before. Oz’s sure that when he checked it before, it hasn’t become this big, it’s almost covered his whole arm now.

(D-don’t tell me, it eats from the anger and hatred I feel?” (Oz)

“It might be, master,” Fenrir suddenly answers Oz’s thought.

“Ah! I forgot that both of you could read my mind,” Oz clicked his tongue.

“Yes. We’re connected, master,” Reo said with his deep voice.

“Seriously, Reo. Hearing you say that words with your deep voice made me shivers,” (Oz)

(It sounds like a pervert…) (Oz)

“A pervert!?” Reo shouted, shocked.

“Pfft!” Fenrir tried to restrain her laughter.

“Ah! I mean per… perfect and mighty spirit king. You sound like a perfect and mighty spirit king, Reo,” (Oz)

“Nice save, master,” (Fenrir)

“Hmph!” Reo snorted.

“By the way, how the hell could I suddenly fainted anyway?” Oz tried to change the topic.

“You know that your movement got restricted by a fire bind cast by the headmaster, master?” (Fenrir)

“Yea, I remember that,” (Oz)

“The spell actually didn’t restrict your movement, it only restricts the mana that enveloped your body. The spell takes control of your mana and interrupts your command to the body, that’s why you couldn’t move,” (Fenrir)

“But because you’re using an excessive amount of fire mana, he got a medium to take control of your body once more, and he uses that to drain your fatigue, that’s why you got a lot of damage only by one ‘Blast’ spell and immediately fainted, master,” Fenrir explained to Oz.

“I see… That old fox, fighting him while using a handicap of only using fire magic is damn difficult,” Oz complained.

Suddenly, the door of the clinic got opened.

(Go back!) (Oz)

Poof! Reo and Fenrir went back to Oz’s body.

“Are you awake, kid?” An old figure came inside the clinic with a broad smile.

“O-Old man!!!” (Oz)
