Chapter 22: Chapter 22: A spar between a student and teacher (2)
Lucius saw Aaron charging towards him, the moment he said start. He didn't even waste a single second.
"Damn it, the teacher didn't give me the time to use summoning magic. Regardless, I will have to stop his attacks to survive" Lucius thought to himself as he took a defensive stance.
He waited for Aaron to strike him, just as Aaron was about to strike him, he channeled mana into the book of creation and let it go.
The Book of Creation didn't fall to the ground, instead, it started to float. A surprised look covered Aaron's face when he saw this.
"Interesting, you can make a book float despite not being a mage, you have made me proud Lucius" Aaron said to Lucius as he kept charging towards him without any intention of stopping.
Lucius just nodded his head slightly when he heard that. He didn't let his guard down when he heard, he gripped the sword tightly with two hands.
When Aaron was in range, Lucius quickly launched a slash directed towards his shoulders.
"This isn't enough to hurt me, Lucius," Aaron said with a smile.
Aaron quickly halted his steps, then he used his sword to block the incoming attack.
The moment their blades collided, a loud metallic sound was produced. Both Lucius and Aaron tried to push each other's swords away.
A few seconds later, Lucius was overwhelmed by Aaron, he was being pushed backward.
The people who were watching Lucius and Aaron battle from outside were convinced of Aaron's victory.
"Aaron is going to win," A Divinity said.
"Yeah, it seems like Lucius, who just became a Divinity, doesn't stand a chance against him." Another one said.
Lucius heard their comments but he ignored them. He knew that they were probably right.
"I must do something or else, I will lose very soon, '' Lucius thought to himself .
He started to think of a way to reverse the situation but no matter how much he thought, he just couldn't think of a way. Just as he was losing all his hopes, his gaze stopped at the book of creation that was floating beside him.
"How could I forget about this!" Lucius exclaimed as he got an idea.
"Go and strike him" Lucius ordered the book of creation as he tried to push Aaron.
The moment he gave the book of creation this order, it closed up, and then a few seconds later it started to charge at Aaron at an incredible speed.
Aaron, who was immersed in pushing him back, didn't even see the Book of Creation rapidly charging toward his head.
"I am not even able to believe that you have grown to such an extent within a day. Your aura is also quite stable for someone, who just mastered aura two days ago" Aaron exclaimed as he stared at Lucius's aura.
Lucius's face became a bit guilty when he heard Aaron's praises, in the end, there was only one thing that Lucius could say as the book of creation got nearer and nearer.
"I am sorry" Lucius exclaimed.
Aaron couldn't understand why did, he apologized, was it for not being able to live up to his expectations or something else? Lucius just stared at the confused Aaron. A few seconds later, the Book of Creation slammed at Aaron's head, Aaron lost his balance causing his sword to fall to the ground.
A notification flashed in Lucius' retina but he ignored it.
(You have dealt 15 damage to the target Aaron)
When the crowd saw him use the Book of Creation to hit Aaron, their eyes widened in surprise.
"He just used that floating book to hit Aaron to catch him off guard," A Divinity said loudly.
"Yeah that was a very clever move but can he defeat Aaron?" Another one asked.
"I don't think so since it's not a matter of being smart, Aaron has an enormous amount of combat experience. He also knows a lot more sword art. Lucius can't defeat him" Another Divinity replied.
When the others heard that, they nodded their head because they thought that it made sense
Lucius heard their conversation but he ignored them since he was focused on the battle.
"This is my chance to create distance between ourselves and cast summoning magic" Lucius thought to himself .
He quickly retreated backwards creating distance between themselves while the book of creation followed him.
When Lucius was dozens of meters away from Aaron he stopped, he quickly turned to the red page of the book of creation.
"I should cast the Summoning magic now before teacher Aaron follows me" Lucius thought to himself .
Just as he was about to cast Summoning Magic, he spotted Aaron regaining his balance and picked up the sword within a second or two.
"I might not have enough time to cast summoning magic, '' Lucius thought to himself as he saw Aaron looking at him.
A few seconds passed but contrary to his expectations, he didn't charge towards him, and this caused Lucius to frown.
"Why is he not chasing after me?" Lucius thought to himself .
A powerful voice resounded through the entire dome, a few seconds later.
"Haha, you not only have become stronger but also decisive which is good. It looks like you want to cast summoning magic.
Cast whatever spells you want to, I want to witness the true strength of my student " Aaron shouted as he stood there.
When Lucius heard that, he nodded his head in approval.
"I will show you my full strength, you won't be disappointed," Lucius exclaimed a
Lucius opened the Book of Creation and flipped to the page detailing the Flame Warrior. With focused intent, he channeled mana throughout his body, following the instructions meticulously as written in the book.
As he channeled mana through his body, the Book of Creation began to emit golden light which engulfed him from head to toe.
A magic circle appeared on the ground around him. Notifications began to flash in his retina.
(You are using the sub-skills of summoning magic, Flame Warrior)
Lucius ignored the notification and kept channeling his mana uniquely. A few seconds later, a warrior covered in heavy armor and holding a sword formed above the magic circle.
A notification flashed on Lucius's retina.
(You have summoned a Flame warrior, 80 mana has been consumed.
Current available mana:43)
Lucius looked at the summon that was beside him, the summon was blue since he was created using Lucius mana. He was wearing heavy armor while holding a sword in his right hand.
The summon turned around Lucius, he kept staring at Lucius, quietly awaiting his orders.
Just as Lucius was about to give orders to the summon, a voice resounded through his ears.
"So that's your summon Lucius, the summon doesn't look too intelligent but I feel like he is very powerful.
Regardless, brace yourself, I am going to strike" Aaron declared as he channeled his mana into the sword, the aura surrounding his sword got even thicker.
Aaron charged toward Lucius at an incredible speed after saying this.
Seeing this, Lucius immediately gave a command to the summon.
"I order to attack that person who is standing there. But don't get more than 25 meters away from me" Lucius ordered the summon.
When the flame warrior heard the order, he nodded his head slightly in approval as he waited for Aaron to get into range.
"I must use the summoner's enchantment right now or else it will get difficult for me to win," Lucius thought to himself .
He used the summoner's enchantment but nothing happened. However, a notification flashed in his retina that caused his face to become pale.
"Are you kidding, why is this system only telling me this now" Lucius exclaimed, his carrying frustration.
