This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"Come out!! Fight head-on!!"

"A fight doesn't start when you say it will start. It's up to your opponent to choose the time to attack. All you can do is fight back in the split second. I have no interest in suicidal confrontation with a giant monster."

The indigo eyes swept across the area around Aojun. To the naked eyes of humans, it was indeed impossible to see the existence of objects in such a thick fog, but to the Demonic Eyes that could interfere with all intellectual products.

There is more than just air and light floating in the atmosphere, including gravity, magnetism, and wind. Magicians can use their effects to directly interfere with matter indiscriminately.

"...Woo..."

However, due to the existing power, John was no longer able to interfere too precisely.

The power of just interfering magnetic force to manipulate metal objects for projection is just that limited.

He knew in the past that if he could unleash the full power of the Demon Eye, the previous blow would have decided the outcome, and there would be no need to drag on until now.

It is impossible to interfere with aerodynamics while interfering with magnetism, and it is difficult to control magnetism while interfering with aerodynamics. John's brain will be under a huge burden when controlling both.

The humidity of the air affects the force field of the magnetic field, and the kinetic energy required to accelerate matter comes from the stability of the magnetic field. Without the effects of these two, the function of electromagnetic acceleration is equivalent to a defective machine.

The most important thing is the control of magic particles. If the magic veins are still alive, no matter how the power of the magic eye is used, it can interfere with other substances through magic particles. Without this advantage, the power of the magic eye cannot be fully exerted.

Otherwise, he would have decomposed all the oxygen in the air. If he did that under the circumstances, even he would be in trouble.

There is still a way, think about it carefully...

"Well... if that's your plan, I have my own way of doing things."

"..." Before John could think of a solution, Ao Jun had already made a new move and raised the giant axe in his hand high. The magician, who used the power of the magic eye to observe the magic particles in the area gradually converging towards the weapon, could not help but have a bad premonition - that was...

"If possible, I don't want to use this move on a mere human, but it should be okay for you."

“——Shit…”

"Sickle Moon--" The formed magic particles turned into an arc-shaped magic outline fixed at the center of the axe blade. The gravel swept by the axe blade that was enlarged dozens of times all turned into dust in the air. The power was so strong before the move was released that if a person was hit directly by it, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would die on the spot.

"A head-on battle?...Okay...let me see what you can do."

"Hmm... If you have the guts, then you better take it. Currently, no creature can take this blow from me. I'd like to ask your name and identity for once, dark warrior. I'm a hybrid of a tiger man and a werewolf. My last name is Ao, and my given name is Qiyi. I'm one of the descendants of a tree-trunk-level adventurer from the original Adventurer's Guild. May I ask your name and identity?"

"——The 'Third Power Princess Leia', a former member of the human continent's royal family, and the 'Tactical Advisor' and 'Root-level Adventurer' appointed by the 'Adventurer's Guild,' the 'Magician' and 'Rebellious Hero' among the four heroes——the Intellectual Pioneer John, are you satisfied?"

"..." John, who had collected the magic particles in his palm while reporting his name, had already used the power of the magic eye to interfere with Aojun's huge axe blade that was emitting a sense of oppression.

Now he has indeed lost the ability to use skills, but if the opponent uses the same skill, John will have the opportunity to take back some power from the opponent's skill tree. This is not a fantasy, but a method with concrete basis.

The adventurer's skill tree is at best a product of the blueprint created by John and the power of the Valkyrie. All the skills and knowledge in this world are the "intellectual heritage" and "products of the Magic Eye" for intellectual pioneers, or it is more appropriate to describe it as "property". It can be said that all the skills possessed by all intelligent life forms are one of the abilities under the Magic Eye - as long as you seize the moment of counterattack, the success rate is not zero.

"It is a great honor to fight with a legendary hero. Today, I have no regrets in my death. Take it, dark hero. This is a move that combines destruction and cutting into one."

"Swoosh!" The power surging from the axe created a strong wind, and the wind pressure that was enough to blow the gravel away was continuously released with Aojun as the center point.

『——!』 On the other hand, the magician who raised the silver dagger and began to gather magic particles in the direction of Ao-kun had no way back. If he failed, he would be showered by countless wind blades and chopped into pieces.

"Kanyue——Wind Slash!!!"

"——!!!"

A powerful sense of oppression accompanied by strong wind pressure approached the magician's eyes. The huge outline of magic power almost shattered all obstacles on the road and swung towards him with a scale that was enough to sweep away everything.

"Bang!! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!" John, who was blocked by a small dagger, could feel the surface of his skin opening up under the influence of the magic particles. The immeasurable power knocked him from his original position to the wall behind him, and the powerful impact force was digging into his tattered body bit by bit.

“Gagaa ...

“DRINKUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!”

The moment he stepped firmly with the shout - the power of the Demon Eye began to take effect. The magician who was directly interfering through the skill tree of Ao Jun was calculating the intellectual information he saw in front of his eyes. Just one move was enough. To fight against such a monster opponent, this one move was enough. For this reason, he had to hold on until the end.

Even though the skin on his arms had been burned to pieces by the magic radiation, his gaze as he clenched his teeth and continued to stare at his opponent never changed or stopped for a moment.

“Gurgle—”

But at this time, the magic insects lurking in the magic veins began to feast. Stimulated by a large amount of magic power, their outlines gradually emerged from the broken skin surface, and the eroded parts were devastated like rotten food, but at the same time, they could not withstand the large amount of magic radiation, causing their bodies to swell violently - dying on the spot.

"..."

The burden on the body is gradually being reduced. John can feel the magic worms constantly disappearing from the magic veins, but this means that he will lose the medium for transmitting magic. The magic worms are no longer just objects of erosion, but the only intermediaries in the magic veins that can transmit magic particles. If he loses them, John will also lose the power of the magic eye.

Just keep a few, although it is an unexpected situation, if the extra ones run out, let them disappear.

"Um……"

"Is it my turn?"

Just as John grasped all the intellectual information of the skill in those eyes, he began to construct the outline of magic through the magic eyes and released a sharp light from the silver knife in his hand. The outline of the axe blade, whose power was reduced too much, was torn into two pieces on the spot and flew behind the magician.

"Bang, boom, boom!" Ao Jun, who had never expected that a mere human could use skills and magic, showed a look of surprise before he smiled in ecstasy again: "Skills... were copied... No... This proficiency... is as if I have awakened my original strength... Interesting, it should be usable more than once, right?"

"Want to try it..."

"bring it on."

The two sides looked at each other as if they knew that the upcoming battle would not be safe and sound, and the atmosphere was filled with gunpowder and was about to break out.

The magician who took the initiative released the magic power extracted from his own magic veins. The magic particles that flowed into the blade expanded the outline of the blade. The way of throwing it out was the essence of the skill: "Sickle Moon - Wind Slash!!"

"Swoosh - bang, boom, boom!!!" The magic outlines thrown by both sides produced huge magic ripples under the collision. With the remaining aftermath not yet dissipated, the two people once again threw a second attack - swoosh, boom, boom, boom!!

A huge amount of acoustic energy came from the direction where the magic outlines were confronting each other. The power and scale of each other were almost perfectly overlapped. The magician used the power of the magic eye to interfere with the opponent's skill tree to obtain intellectual information as a weapon, and the demi-human warrior used his own beliefs and proficiency in skills as a weapon.

Both sides started the fight based on the same standpoint, and no one can complain no matter who loses.

“Drinka ...

“Drinka ...

Thus, Ao-kun, who no longer held back in any aspect, freed himself from the shackles that he had set in his heart. He ran forward on the road and kicked away the gravel in front of him. The magician who stepped on it pierced it with the outline of magic power, then turned over and swung the weapon in his hand.

"Swoosh, bang!" The magic outline that cut through the rubble cleanly swept across the surroundings of both parties like a scorching hot line. At the moment when the shock wave kicked up dust, the magic outline with the power of a bomb also blew up everything in sight. The speed and power of the blow were enough to rival that of a cannonball, constantly tearing apart the rubble that was in the way. As the figures of the opponents appeared in the cross-section, they each immediately condensed magic particles again to form a magic outline and swung their weapons.

"Swoosh, bang, bang!" The magical outlines collided again, causing a conflict and a dust storm from the center of the dust. John, who was bouncing on the wall, used the power of his magic eye to interfere with the moisture in the area, reducing the impact of the dust storm on himself. In contrast, Ao Jun wielded a giant axe as wide as a fan to break through the encirclement of dust. After escaping the crisis, the two sides met each other's eyes again.

"Well!"

"Well!"

"Swoosh, bang!" The two men who were hacking and hitting each other back and forth tried their best to maintain the outline of the huge weapons. Every time the conflict caused ripples of magic, a wall would be shattered. The huge maze was turned into an empty wasteland arena in the blink of an eye under the confrontation between the two men. The outline of magic that dug up the surface of the earth swayed from the lower left to the upper right.

"Bang! Boom!" John dodged the attack and picked up the scattered throwing knives on the ground with the receiving technique, and gave the outline of magic power to the blade and threw it.

“Swoosh, bang, boom, bang!”

"This approach...has something to do with you..."

"Guuu——" Aojun, whose arm was pierced by one of the throwing knives, ignored the injury. He grabbed the giant axe and spun it while throwing out a huge magical outline straight in the direction of John.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!" The magician, who was unable to dodge at that angle, crashed into the wall behind him due to the damage caused by the direct hit. Several bones were broken in his body and the severe pain began to spread along his nerves.

“Not yet—finished!!”

“Hooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaa——”

"Swoosh, bang, bang, bang!" Immediately afterwards, the two men ignored their wounds and cast out arc-shaped magic outlines again. The magician, who didn't know how many times this had happened, picked up the contestant's lost spear and injected magic into the spearhead.

"Swoosh!" The arrow-cone-shaped outline of magic power scraped the floor in a rotating posture. If it hit you directly, you would definitely become minced meat in a blender. There was no other way except to use the same move to offset it.

"Swoosh, bang!" At the moment when Aojun cast out the outline of magic, the magician, who had shortened the distance at some point, swung the dagger in his palm from the front. Aojun, who thought that the distance could not reach his chest, took a step back.

"Clap!"

"Gu?!"

“——Sickle Moon…” The sharp weapon with the extended length of the magic outline pierced Ao Jun’s chest. He swung the axe blade at the opponent from the side without thinking twice. At the same time, the magician also released the power of the skill: “——Wind Slash ahh ...

“Gooooa ...

"Snap!!!" At the critical moment, the wrist that swung the dagger from a horizontal angle was infused with magic power, and the outline of magic power that overflowed from the blade cut off Aojun's right arm. The giant axe flying in the air lost control before it was infused with magic power, and John, who was reflected in front of Aojun's eyes, injected all his remaining strength into this attack.

“Drinka ...

"Guga?! Aaaaah! Gagaga!!! Gagaa ...

"Snap! Snap! Snap!! Snap! Snap! " He swung his sword without any hesitation, determined to kill Ao Jun. He kept chopping open the strong body with one blow after another. The splattering blood dyed his eyes red. At first glance, it seemed that this was a situation where Ao Jun could hardly fight back.

But he reached out and grabbed John's arm, then kicked him in the chest and used his arm strength to tear off the hand.

“Gooooa ...

Pah! The magician, whose entire hand and bones were torn off, fell to the ground and groaned. Ao Jun, who was looking down at him, kicked the body in the abdomen.

"Bang!" John flew towards the wall and rolled among the gravel and corpses like mud. Aojun jumped over the wall and fell from the sky with his remaining strength. John reflexively endured the pain and used the power of the magic eye again to interfere with the cell division cycle in his body. However, it was difficult to heal his hand in a short time with the remaining strength. Stopping the bleeding was already the limit.

"Bang! Snap! Ta!"

"Gu?!"

"Gah!?"

So, at this moment, both sides decided to use this fist to kill the opponent in front of them.
