Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 770: Mikeʼs Taboo Magic

From MCʼs perspective:

One by one the match-up appeared on the screen. Then we saw the name of Mike Curtis. He was matched against the Bloodline Hall Wizard.

Seeing that my mouth curves into an arc.

”Alright, this is going to be interesting,” Gilbert Reese commented.

”Ha...Ha...Ha...Carolina let out a bell-like laugh.

Gilbert Reese squinted his eyes. His gaze was now set on the name of the bloodline wizard Matt.

”The opponent of his was not simple,” He uttered.

Hearing that Carolina and I turned towards him. Apart from the name, other details are not mentioned.

So Iʼm not sure about the bloodline power of the wizard named Matt.

Carolina is also looking at the questioning gaze.

”Donʼt look at me like that. I donʼt even know. But someone mentioned this name before. So I was wondering,” Gilbert said with a smile.

Meanwhile,

The person named Matt in the bloodline hall saw the match-up as well. The first thing he did was curse at the Taboo Hall.

Taboo Hall might be on good terms with them. But it doesnʼt mean that he can give up the fight voluntarily.

He wanted to win the duel for himself and for the Bloodline Hall as well. He knows within a few minutes. Elders will contact him.

After a few minutes, just as he expected. Someone from the council contacted him. Instead of motivating, the bloodline elder advised him not to try to offend the Taboo wizard.

Matt agreed to his words on the surface. But a huge fighting intent rose in his heart. He has the bloodline power of an ancient flame monster. So he is very much confident in fighting against Mike Curtis.

He was aware that Mike had shadow magic. Because he is quite a popular Taboo Wizard in the academy.

Majestic Tower:

The old man Dean was watching the developments. Many rare talents are appearing in this internal competition. He is weighing whether these people have enough strength to fight against the other 2 academies.

Compared to their Weapon Hall. The Weapon Palace has many genius wizard students with Weapon Type Magic. On top of it, he was not satisfied with the performance shown by the Weapon Hall Wizards.

Whereas Royal Force Hall has wizards with rare magic. They are usually unpredictable. So itʼs hard to tell who is going to participate in their academy.

On the screen in front of him. He saw the name of the wizard who performed well in the competition. Though the top 50 was not yet fixed. The old man has predicted 15 names to be eligible for the top 10 spot.

Among those names, the names of Vincent Carey, Jennie, Kurtz, and Miranda are mentioned. Even the name of Mike Curtis was shown.

The duel had not yet started. But the old man dean knows that Mike Curtis is preparing for the level-6 breakthrough. He is just waiting for his chance.

Similarly,

The selection process for the other 2 academies has started. Their method of selection is different. Some wizards in that academy hold an indisputable place.

Their name can be directly written. So for outsiders, there is very little information that can be known about them.

Inside the Weapon Palace, the wizard students fight against each other on normal days. For this internal competition. Some are initiating challenges to stand out.

In this way, they can get the attention of their elders.

Outside,

While the 3 big academies are busy in their competition. The outside world is normal as usual. The Intel organizations hiding in the Capital City are trying to get information about the internal competition.

The competition is important for the academy. At the same time, the name list of elite wizard students is equally important to other forces.

For example the dark league and other killer organizations. If they have that list, they can reevaluate their target.

So these organizations are paying attention to this internal competition. Some of the names have been leaked already. Including the name of Vincent Carey and other new wizards who are doing well.

The Intel organization also got a few names from the Weapon Palace and the Royal Force Hall.

Time passed,

The duel started and spectators in the stadium were excited for todayʼs match-up as well. After a few duels, the duel of the Taboo Wizard came.

Seeing that spectators let out a thunderous cheer. On the big screen, an image of Mike Curtis is shown walking up to the stage.

Not every time you get to see the duel between the Taboo Wizard and others. And Mike Curtis is a person who rarely makes an appearance in front of others.

So seeing Mike Curtis on the platform everyone was thrilled. They have witnessed all kinds of magic so far. Itʼs time for them to witness the power of the Taboo magic.

At the same, the bloodline wizard Matt walked in. His image appeared on the big screen as well. Seeing his face, the bloodline wizard students cheered as well.

The bloodline wizard students are quite a number in the spectator area. So their noise is no less than that of the previous one.

Matt walked to the platform and stood opposite him. In the next second, the invisible barrier began to cover the dual platform.

When it is completely covered. The referee gave the signal.

Quiet!

The atmosphere quieted down all of a sudden. Mike and Matt are looking at each other. None of them are taking the initiative to start.

A hint of apprehension appeared in Mattʼs eyes. He knows that the opponentʼs magic has something to do with the shadow. So he is not in a hurry to jump in.

Mike is observing the opponent. He wants to win without exposing too much.

The silence continued for more than 5 minutes.

Seeing that the crowd and others started to get impatient. But people with a discerning eye can tell why this was happening.

At the Sub-Taboo Hall,

”Tck!”

”He is scared. If he gets closer to him, then Mike could use the Shadow cast by Matt on the platform against him,” Gilbert said in a normal tone.

Like he wasnʼt surprised by this scenario.

”He doesnʼt seem to be powerful to me,” I blurted out.

The next second, I found 2 piercing gazes at me.

”What?”

I turned towards Senior Gilbert and Carolina. Why are they looking at me like that?

”You havenʼt seen his duel before. Am I right?” Gilbert asked.

I nodded my head at him in response. If I were at that place, I could have completely crushed him in these 5 minutes.

Just as Gilbert decides to respond. Something happens on the platform.

On the dual platform, Mike decided to move. He activated the bloodline power. In the blink of an eye, a majestic coercion is coming from the body. Which is affecting the barrier behind him.

Gasp!

Seeing some changes on the platform. The crowd exclaimed in surprise.

Mike sneered inside. He just waited for this to happen.

Because of the bloodline power. Mattʼs body expanded in size. When he became a gigantic 10ft tall person.

The visual look made people gasp. Matt then set his gaze on Mike who is shorter than him right now.

He let out an evil grin before charging towards him. As he took the step forward, the platform shook. The power in his body can destroy any obstacle on the way.

Mike Curtisʼs eyes flickered. He didnʼt expect the wizard to have an ancient bloodline. Otherwise, this transformation wouldnʼt have happened.

But this thought appeared for a moment before his eyes turned cold. When Matt got closer to him. Mike saw there was a huge shadow cast on the platform because of his huge body.

Seeing that Mike wasted no time. He cast the magic spell.

”Shadow Spikes”

Matt raised his massive fist to punch. But something else happened.

Puchak!

Several spikes rose from the shadows and they pierced through the gigantic body one by one.

Mattʼs thighs, abdomen, and forearms are pierced.

Gasp!

Seeing that everyone sucked a cold breath of air.

Argh!

Matt let out a roar in heart-wrenching pain. When he tried to move his body.

Puchak!

Another spike passes through his left leg. From the outside, people can see that Matt was attacked by his own shadow.

Finally, Mattʼs face was replaced with terror. He underestimated the Taboo Magic. What others are seeing is just one side of the attack. But he is feeling the draining of mana.

When the realization struck him. His face becomes bloodless. He quickly admitted defeat in front of everyone.

The referee was shocked for a moment before declaring Mike as the winner.

Swish!

The next second, Mike canceled the spell. The spikes disappeared. The shadows returned to normal but they left a bloody hole in the gigantic body of Matt.

Matt wasnʼt able to continue the transformation. His body returned to normal.

Pfff!

The next second, blood starts to gush out from his body. Seeing that, the referee went to help him.

Quiet!

The atmosphere was quieted down. Instead of cheering, most of them are looking at Mike in fear.
