Chapter 707: Useless Assassination Magic
When it comes down to it, it's a battle of magic .
Now that the fight has been confirmed, there's no point in continuing to argue.
"Pay attention!"
Kira raised his hand and attacked first. The magic power in his palm condensed into several chains of light that emitted a glittering glow and looked like some kind of metal. The chains burst out at an astonishing speed, shooting towards Jacob from several directions including top, bottom, left and right, in an attempt to restrain him.
Light magic has become one of Kira's most commonly used magics because of its miraculous effects in attack, defense, control, etc.
"Huh? This move..." Makarov's eyes lit up when he saw Kira's magic.
"What's wrong?" Mavis asked.
Makarov shook his head: "Nothing, it just feels very similar to the magic of the second generation..."
Mavis blinked and said, "Isn't this normal? Not to mention that the child can learn ordinary magic just by watching it, even if he studies it on his own, it wouldn't be difficult for him to create magic of this level."
This level? Do you really think this magic is easy? It took me a long time to learn light magic, and that was under the guidance of the second generation. What about Kira? I never saw him study seriously!
Makarov withdrew his gaze without leaving a trace, and complained silently in his heart. He suddenly regretted talking about this topic with Mavis. When chatting with these geniuses, he always had to endure their unconscious Versailles-style remarks.
The chain of light in Kira's hand is different from Preshito's. It is a distinctive red color. This is caused by Kira's magic power. The chain is long, big, hard and thick, and it is very fast. If it were an ordinary magician, he would not even have time to react, let alone take it.
Even though he knew he could not beat the boy who was much younger than him, Jacob still did not give up easily. Instead, he aimed at the chain in front of him and swung it hard.
Bang——!
A dark red magical energy exploded in mid-air, covering half of the chain of light.
The collision of energy temporarily slowed down the movement speed of that part of the chain, but Jacob did not feel relieved because the attack of the chain was hindered. Instead, he widened his eyes with surprise.
"It didn't explode? How strong is this chain..."
The attack just now was called transparent shooting, and it was the simplest and most brutal of all his assassination methods.
Before this, the hit rate of this move was over 90%, and the lethality rate was over 50%. It was only used to break through other people's defenses, and had never been used to defend against other people's attacks, let alone being unable to defend.
The chains were surrounding Jack back and forth, and were about to tie him up like a dumpling. He immediately leaned forward, then dodged sideways, avoiding all the swift chains as if he was strolling in the garden.
"As expected of a professional assassin, his eyesight and reaction speed are simply extraordinary!"
Compared to constantly emphasizing his own strength in battle, or belittling his opponent's ability, saying things like "It's nothing special" or "Let me show you what XXX is", Kira prefers to flatter his opponent, for example, saying things like "I would like to call you the strongest in XX" to elevate his opponent. This way, after defeating the opponent, he can better demonstrate his own strength.
Of course, this is limited to those truly powerful characters. After all, he can't say to an unknown minor character, "When it comes to XX magic, you're the only one I've ever seen in my life."
If it was Natsu, Gray or the others who used that move just now, they would either be unable to avoid the chains and be bound, or they would have to use a burst of magic power to block it, but they would definitely not be able to avoid it so easily.
This is the gap in experience!
As one of the Twelve Shields and a professional killer, Jacob naturally has much more combat experience than young people like Natsu who take on all kinds of jobs. Even Kira may not be able to compare to him.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
The chain pierced through the ground, creating a cloud of dust and smoke, and Jacob's voice came from it, but when Kira looked up, the voice of the suited thug was no longer in his sight.
"Oh my! Mr. Jacob disappeared in front of everyone!!"
Chapati cried out in shock, "Could this be his magic again? Can Kilasan find it? Or will the game be deadlocked until the end??!"
In the previous race, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Jacob had space magic, so they were not too surprised by his disappearance at this moment. They were more curious about how Kira would deal with it.
Kira looked around while turning his magic perception to the maximum.
On the other side, Erza and the two demons controlled by Neinhart were fighting again, but because Erza was so aggressive, she was able to fight three people with ease. This alone shocked countless audiences.
Especially when they knew that this was a move of the 'Nine Demon Gates', they were even more shocked, because it meant that Erza alone could defeat the combined 'Nine Demon Gates'. With such strength, not to mention Jura, even the legendary Four Heavenly Kings might not be able to do it.
Of course, this is mainly because the audience will not delve into the details of "being able to use all spells does not mean being able to use spells at the same time", "having skills does not mean the superposition of spell power and magic power", and "the strength of the materialized object will not exceed that of the magic user". Otherwise, they would not think so.
You will definitely not be able to find Jacob's whereabouts just by looking. He was able to become famous in the Western Continent with his assassination magic, so his strength is naturally extraordinary. Kira relies more on his magical perception that is far beyond that of ordinary people.
“Over there!!”
Magic perception is still useful. It covers the entire arena with magic. Apart from the battlefield on Erza's side, if there is any difference anywhere else, that is where Jacob is.
This was also due to the sophistication of assassination magic, which could minimize the magic fluctuations of the user and hide itself tightly, but it backfired. However, Kira transformed the magic into a torrent and distributed it to the entire arena. In that area filled with rich magic particles, the only place where magic was almost imperceptible stood out.
"Light Prison!!"
Driven by magic power, more than a dozen light beams shot up from the ground, and then the light beams stretched and connected to each other to form a multi-sided cage.
"Huh?! Discovered?!"
Jacob was shocked, he didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly. Even among the Twelve Shields, the only one who could discover him at such a speed was Magic King August. Apart from him, even Irene, who was also a double shield, was a beat slower.
"We can't be careless for even a moment!"
With a sigh in his heart, his hands and feet had already moved.
The moment the beam of light rose, Jacob jumped forward without hesitation. His amazing jumping ability allowed his body to move sideways several meters in an instant, and he took out the cage just before the light prison was formed.
He stepped on the ground with his leather shoes, then turned his body, and the next moment he pounced towards Kira.
"I'm a professional assassin, nothing can escape my eyes!"
"There's no doubt that your weakness is close combat!"
Running on the ground is faster than jumping. Jacob took two steps at a time and crossed a distance of more than ten meters to Kira in the blink of an eye. He lowered his body and attacked Kira's chest with his clenched right fist.
"Correct judgment!"
Kira smiled and stretched out his hand to gently block Jacob's charged attack. "But that's why I increased several special attributes on myself in advance to deal with close-range attacks."
The powerful punch was easily blocked, and Jacob was horrified. In his opinion, with Kira's physical fitness, it should not be possible for him to block his punch so easily.
After his unsuccessful punch, Jacob immediately wanted to withdraw and then kick, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not move his whole body. Looking closely, he saw that at the place where his fists and Kira collided, magic runes were spreading up along his arms like worms.
"This is……?!!"
"Binding magic, an improved version of the Binding Snake. It doesn't have a name yet."
Kira had a sly look in his eyes, "What do you think of calling it 'The Restrained Dragon'?"
Not very good, sounds terrible!
“It’s a good name…”
He is a professional at knowing when to be cowardly!
Jacob tried to exile Kira to another dimension, but Kira's magic power was too great, and his assassination magic could not shake him at all, just like he was powerless when facing Auguste.
"Thank you for the compliment!"
Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, since the other party praised his naming method, Kira was of course proud. A big smile suddenly appeared on his face, and then he raised his fist, which had been gathering terrible magic power.
His talent for multitasking allows him to control his opponent while launching attacks.
Seeing the fist so close, Jacob broke out in a cold sweat: "Can you please not hit me in the face?"
"People like you still care about this?"
Kira raised his eyelids and looked at the other person's head with hair so short that it was almost bald.
Jacob: “…”
"You're a killer, why do you care so much about your appearance? Besides, he's not handsome to begin with, so it won't be a big loss if he gets hurt. Besides, magic is so advanced nowadays, it won't be difficult to heal him."
"But……"
Boom!!!
Kira retracted his fist and said calmly: "Why are you talking so much? -Huh?! Why are you still here?"
“…”
Why are you still here? Don’t you have any idea?
At this moment, Jacob was punched in the face, but because the restraint of the restraint snake was too strong and Kira's fist just now had intentional force, the opponent was not knocked away, but stood stiffly in place.
"Sorry, I will definitely knock you away with my next punch!"
Kira apologized sincerely, and then raised his fist again: "Destroy evil and reveal justice..."
"Hmm?! Nani?! Break the evil...?!"
The magical tricks that seemed to be familiar to him made Jacob stunned: "Wait!! Please wait..."
“Shatter the sky!!”
BANG!!!
“Ugh!!”
The blow he threw with all his strength hit Jacob's face accurately, knocking him into the sky, and then he fell heavily to the ground in front of tens of thousands of spectators!
