Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 160: Sho Amakura

Sho Amakura.

"One of the influential dark magician that can warp and bend space on his will. Controls a group he named the "Riot Massacre" and caused several uproars on his actions. He is one of the guys with the highest bounty in the magician world and his capture is one of the main priorities while the second is his death.

Still, death is far impossible to do since he was rumored to be "unkillable". Although the rumors are quite unreliable, he is a real deal of a magician. I witnessed his escape when he was still a young man. He managed to defeat many pursuing magicians and disappeared without a trace after. So if you are going to face Sho in a battle, do not try to let him use his space magic..."

The words of Catmod are still fresh in my mind and I mentally take note of that. Fighting hand to hand combat with someone who has been hunted by the Magician Society is a bad move. I wanted to face him head-on but I am not confident to win. If someone who is good in battle and can escape several people all by himself tries to fight against you, you will either get screwed or you will either get lucky on the strike. Though I am quite sure that getting the latter option is close to impossible.

PA!

I blocked his punch using my arm that I have enhanced using my mana to avoid injury. But I despite the attack had absorbed most of the pain, that was too reckless of me. The punch is too strong. His attack is enough for me to retreat a few steps backward.

"Ho? To be able to block my punch without getting his arm fractured from it, I think I have underestimated you quite a bit. You are quite interesting..."

Igniting my shoes and hands, I darted forward and aimed my fist at Sho. Sho did not block it but dodged it. Still, that is within my scope of expectations.

SNAP!

Crackling electricity popped out on my hands and it quickly crawls towards Sho who just dodged my flaming punch.

"NAIVE!"

He didn't even turn around and the electricity bent sideways, causing my attack to fall apart the moment it bent. But that doesn't mean I am already amazed and now have a hopeless chance against him. I don't believe he has no weakness, even a dragon can be killed, what is more of a human?

"Is that all you have got?" he looked in my direction earlier and grinned. But his grin froze when he saw me missing on that spot.

BANG!

"Tch," I clicked my tongue when he managed to block my Dragon Fist.

Sho was genuinely surprised when he saw my Dragon Fist.

"I never expected to see a Half-Dragon here. Did I finally hit a jackpot?" he grinned and grip my Dragon Fist.

But as if I will let him do that. Releasing the electricity I am just storing, he reluctantly removed his gripping hand away from my hand and retreating a little far from me to avoid the electricity that is crackling around my arm.

Keeping my Dragon Fist, I chased him down and released a lot of fireballs in his direction. I can see the irritation on his face as I continue to release an assault in his direction. My almost infinite mana pool will allow me to keep on throwing fireballs at him without exhausting my mana pool.

But he was quite a thinker. He didn't tire me out like most tactics would do to someone releasing fireballs in his direction.

"If you think you can prolong the battle, let me tell you something. I hate long battles. If I can do it, I will shorten it. I hate doing it for some sort of effort that I can just do with a small amount of work. Just drop and stop moving."

With a wave of his hand, the surroundings start to bend and twist. Without waiting for it to get worse, I started retreating away from him. Then, I just realized that I am not getting farther away from him. Instead, I am getting closer to him.

"Trying to escape?" he suddenly appeared before me and released a punch that I have not prepared.

BANG!

I was sent flying to the distance and I can feel my nose release a warm liquid of blood due to the punch. My head is also a bit dizzy due to the punch causing my surroundings to shake a little bit on my eyes.

"Kazuma! Watch out!"

Blue's voice allowed me to wake a little bit and quickly stopped the incoming attack of Sho to me. With the help of the Dragon Fist, I can hold on to Sho's punch without getting squashed further.

"Water Torrent!"

Sho was caught off guard from the Water Torrent and was sent a few distances away from me though it is not as far as the distance he sent me flying with his normal punch which is frustrating. But thanks to that, it's payback time.

"Freezing Wind!"

Cold air started to blow on the surroundings and the wet Sho who didn't expect the Water Torrent started to freeze all over his body.

"Multi... element magician?! You are a multi-element magician...?!"

His whole body freezes up as the cold win slowly blows over his wet body. He tries to wiggle out but I managed to freeze him over.

"I see. So the Magician Society has finally gained its trump card. However, this information is something I cannot just withhold by myself. So I will disappoint you this time, kid, but you will win this time. However, the next time we meet, you will not be so lucky..."

Cracks suddenly appeared on the surroundings like it was undergoing the mirror world transformation. However, it is not the Mirror World. Instead of the same mirror cracks, it suddenly bent and everything did not form into another field of the mirror but a new rift. Sho who was frozen from neck to toe fell to the rift while grinning.

"We will meet again boy, look forward to our next meeting because I will make sure that is your last."

Sho's body disappeared in the rift that seemed to be swallowed by the abyss. I tried reaching out but Blue stopped me.

"Don't follow him. You have a 1% chance of getting out of that rift alive. Besides, we have no idea where that rift will lead us in case you survive. Only he will be able to get out of there alive."

"Then, are we going to let him go?!"

"That is the only possible option we have, Kazuma. At least, he has escaped this realm which means we can now reclaim this place once again. Call for backup," Blue said.

Since I have no choice, I have to let go of Sho as the rift he opened up closed and everything once again became still as nothing happened. But now that he is gone, I sense someone's presence not too far away.

"Damn it, the fight was cut short and I am still craving for a fight. I will settle with this eavesdropping bastard instead."

...

As per Blue's suggestion, I called the Magician Society and in a few minutes, back up arrived alongside Voltaire and Catmod. The slaves were rescued and the remnants of the Riot Massacre's members were all captured. Illegal goods are also confiscated and will be sent to the investigation team to track down where these illegal things came from. Other than that, the Underground Mall has been swept and was later declared by Catmod as liberated from the hands of Riot Massacre and the Magician Society has reclaimed it once more.

Voltaire and Catmod asked me for a bit of a report on the situation that occurred earlier. I reported many things but I didn't include the part of the Multi-Element Magician part. I don't want to reveal it yet since the only thing they know is that I can use Electric and Fire Magic. They don't know about the other elements I can use at my disposal and the lesser people know, the better. I don't want to cause too much trouble.

"Looks like you did a good job on this one Kazuma. Although we failed to capture Sho Amakura, you performed well in reclaiming the Underground Mall. This only proves that you have the capabilities to even solo a mission. It takes a lot of power to even do things like reclaiming this place and you easily did it," Voltaire said.

"I don't deserve the praise. And besides, fighting against Sho is not easy. If I didn't have a few trump cards with me, I would have died. I also have to activate a little bit of the Dragon Power I acquired back then and now it is taking a little bit of toll on my body."

"That dragon power huh? I suggest that you don't overuse it. As a human, using the power of the dragon is too much for a human body. Do not kill yourself. We already told you, you should retreat if things get too awry. Being captured or killed by the enemy is something we have to avoid at all costs. You only live once," Catmod said.

"Go home for now Kazuma. I can see your hand still has the scales of the transformation and it is trembling. Get some rest and recover from it to avoid some backlash. The higher-ups will reward you later."

I bowed down and used the teleporter that the Magician Society use. While teleporting, Inari-sama communicated with me.

"Master... I think we have a little bit of a problem. Remember the beast we rescued earlier? It has already settled into your Familiar Field."
