Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 223 The Limits of Imagination
Woz's resilience has been greatly improved now, and soon, the sequelae left by the previous battle with Azma will almost recover.

But Woz did not refuse Mirajane's support. The two were already familiar with this state. During the journey to High Berrien, Mirajane had always supported Woz in this way.

Because of Mirajane's support and guidance, Woz was able to walk without being distracted.He immersed himself in the array of spells, and re-examined the situation on the entire battlefield.

Lisanna suddenly turned her head and said, "There are battles ahead."

Lisanna, who maintained the soul of the cat, took on the task of scouting and walked ahead to scout the way.Although Woz and Mirajane didn't need to do this, Lisanna still stubbornly believed that she should play some role.

It is also because of Lisanna's vigilance that Mirajane can rest assured to recover her magic power while walking, so that she will not be tense and vigilant all the time.

Woz was also awakened, and looked at Mirajane, and the two immediately made a decision to help.

Although they were in a hurry to get back to the camp, Woz and the others did not deliberately choose a route to avoid the battle.In fact, the trio even intentionally searched for ongoing battles on the return route, so as to help their companions deal with the enemy as much as possible.

With two S-level mages, Woz and Mirajane, the combat effectiveness of this group is explosive. Unless it is Hades, Woz believes that other enemies will not be their opponents.

The three speeded up and ran over with all their strength.

After rushing out of the shelter of the trees, the battle unfolded before their eyes.

It's Rastyros!One of the Seven Families of Purgatory!Mirajane matched the man in glasses with the information at a glance.Knowing that this is a general of the Devil's Heart, Mirajane immediately became serious.

But what about the people who fought him?Where are our companions?Mirajane extended her gaze, looking for the fairies that should exist.

Soon, behind Rastyros, she saw two family members lying on the ground covered in bruises.

"Elufman! Eba Green!" Mirajane covered her mouth and screamed.

"Brother Elufman!" Lisanna also became like a crazy cat, ready to pounce on it.

Woz quickly pulled her back, then turned his head and held down Mirajane, who was about to run away, to appease the two sisters who were eager to avenge their families.

"Woz! I want to defeat this person myself!" Mirajane's voice was chilling.

Woz shook his head and rejected the girl's opinion: "This guy... Leave it to me."

"Why!" My request was refuted mercilessly, but the demon Mirajane rarely got angry on the spot, but asked why.

Woz looked at the enemy who had noticed them, and walked forward slowly: "Because his magic is incompatible with the compatibility of the two of you. To defeat him, even Mira, you have to spend a lot of time and magic power... …At this moment, it’s better to save a little bit.”

"Brother Woz, then I'm counting on you!" Lisanna trusted Woz's words unconditionally, "Then my sister and I will go and save Brother Eluffman and Eba Green."

After finishing speaking, Lisanna pulled Mirajane around and went to where the two of Eluffman were.Mirajane didn't refuse, which is why she is different from all other S-ranks.If Erza were here, the first thing to do would be to overthrow the enemy who hurt the companion first, and then heal the injured companion!Even if there are other companions around, Erza will let them save people, but she must fight in person.

Although Mirajane's magic is a real "demon", her heart is the gentlest and cares most about her family.

Rastyros pushed his glasses: "Hey, woman, who allowed you to pass?"

After finishing speaking, he swung his arms across, and his right arm suddenly swelled, turning into a thick and ferocious metal giant arm.

"Die, under my black sword!"

"Bang!" The giant black arm that swept across was stopped by Woz.

"Hey, kid, your opponent is here!" Woz picked up the magic book and slammed it hard against the giant arm.

There are countless spells attached to the cover of Woz's magic book. When he smashed it, even though Woz didn't activate any magic on purpose, various magic circles still popped up, forcefully smashing the black sword of Rastyros. It's broken!
"Yo! I know you." Lastiros kept smiling, but his tone became dangerous, "You are the guy who often breaks into our guild and always runs away."

"Don't provoke me." Woz retorted, "When I was fighting with you, President Hades, you didn't know where you were."

"That's because you didn't meet our seven relatives of Purgatory when you came! Otherwise, why would Lord Hades do it himself?"

"Actually, you really want to say that you haven't met you?" Woz sneered, "It's really shameless. At that time, the only reason President Hades didn't let you seven members of Purgatory fight was because you couldn't beat me!"

"Are you kidding me!" Rastyros became annoyed, "You are the one who speaks loudly! I am a man who has never failed!"

"Hehe, that's because you've never fought against a real strong man!" Woz explained, "Not to mention President Hades or Bruno Te, even among the seven relatives of Purgatory, I'm afraid no one has really had a heart-to-heart fight with you, right? I really don't believe that you can defeat experts like Urrutia and Azma."

Not far behind, the two sisters Mirajane rescued Elufman and Eba Green, and hurriedly backed away to keep a safe distance.After all, the scope of impact of this level of combat is usually very large.But what surprised the two girls was that Woz and the enemy didn't fight directly, but instead talked one by one.The atmosphere was obviously tense, but it seemed like a debate contest.Two men who are not weak are obsessed with arguing about childish and meaningless topics such as "I am stronger than you" and "No, I am stronger, you are weak!"

The sisters looked at each other in blank dismay, isn't Woz in their images like this?In the face of battle, Woz has always been a model of hands and mouths. Even in normal times, Woz can definitely be said to be a taciturn man.Why are you so keen to move your mouth like a different person now?
Woz didn't notice the strange looks of Mirajane and the others.With a proud expression, he despised him with a crazier expression than Rastyros, raised the magic book and pointed at the enemy: "I don't want to waste time on you, you'd better admit defeat and kill yourself."

Rastilos was so choked that he couldn't catch his breath. He had always used such an arrogant attitude to attack the enemy, but now he was turned back by the enemy!To make matters worse, Woz did have the qualifications, and the things he cited made him unable to refute.Although dissatisfied, facts are facts.Woz has indeed fought against Lord Hades many times, and he has indeed never fought against anyone above the Seven Families of Purgatory.

But does this alone make him feel weak?It's just ridiculous!Rastilos almost wanted to vomit blood: "So you rely on this mouth to become a strong man?"

"...Your mind is disturbed." Woz suddenly calmed down, and spit out a sentence that shocked him, "Lastiros, can you still maintain that undefeated momentum?"

"Of course!" Rastyros subconsciously responded.

Woz opened the book: "My understanding of the Seven Families of Purgatory is far deeper than you imagined. I also have a lot of information about you, Rastyros. As the Seven Families of Purgatory, you are also considered the world's One of the top-level wizards. As a powerhouse of this level, if you want to go further in terms of strength, the most effective shortcut is to fight; especially fighting with opponents stronger than yourself. However, after searching through your Years of combat records..." Woz turned the pages of the book, "There is not a single strong man!"

Lastiros said disdainfully: "What's the matter? There are not many mages who can reach my level."

Woz ignored him, and continued on his own: "I don't believe that you have lost your ambition to become stronger. If that is the case, Hades will not let you stay in the position of the seventh family member. .so the only explanation is..."

Woz looked up into the opponent's eyes and said seriously: "You have enough reasons to avoid fighting the strong yourself! For example...to maintain an undefeated record."

"Are you kidding!" Rastiros sneered, "Don't fight just to be undefeated? A fool would come up with such a way!"

"But you have to! Because of your magic!" Woz declared loudly.

Rastyros' face suddenly turned pale.

"What you have mastered is the arc of lost magic. It can manifest the imagination in the user's mind. It is a magical magic that can create something out of nothing, very powerful!" Woz talked calmly, " But unlike almost all other magics, the Arc of Manifestation completely depends on your imagination, and it has no reliance on reality. Whether its power is stable or not depends entirely on the strength of the user's will, that is, the strength of the soul Or not. That's why you pursue invincibility! Only in this way can you maintain a strong self-confidence, and your magic will become more powerful!"

Woz laughed: "But now, your will has been shaken by me, and you have begun to notice this fact-you are not undefeated, you just escaped all the battles that you will lose. Now...Lastyros, you Can your magic be as sharp and powerful as before?"

Mirajane and the others have returned to the area behind Woz with the unconscious wounded.Hearing Woz's explanation, Lisanna came to a sudden: "Is this really the case? It turns out that Brother Woz was talking nonsense just now!"

Woz even had the leisure to turn around and talk to them: "Of course, don't talk nonsense during the battle. All the words are 'spells'!" He turned back and looked at Rastyros, "Including now, my every day In a word, every action is a part of 'magic'. The most powerful magic is demagoguery. Magic is the product of the combination of spiritual and material power. If the will of a magician is shaken, it means that his strength will drop drastically. Especially your magic that relies entirely on spiritual power. Now, how much power is left in your magic?"

Woz threw the magic book to Mirajane for safekeeping: "Come on! Look, I don't even need a magic book, just here to see how powerful your attack is!"

Rastilos had long since lost the conceit and pride that had always been on his face, his face was slightly distorted, and he looked extremely angry: "Since you are looking for death, then I will personally send you to hell!"

"Pitch black... Excalibur!" The huge right arm appeared again, and this time it finally had the appearance of a "sword".The claws of the giant arms came together, turning into an enlarged version of Gajiru Iron Dragon Sword, and slammed down on the top of Woz's head!
Facing the astonishing blow, Woz just raised his arm lightly, and took it with his palm.Woz's body shook slightly, and there was no other reaction, only the strong wind and waves sweeping past him silently recounted the power of the blow.

With all his strength, Woz threw the "sword" in his palm to the ground next to him, and then looked at Rastyros with a playful face.

Mirajane, who was behind him, saw the truth.Even if the enemy's will is really shaken as Woz said, his magic will not collapse instantly to the point where Woz backhand catches him.

The moment Mirajane caught the magic book, she felt the automatic book appear.Now Woz can still see a few strands of magic power behind him.Just now, the automatic secretary took full control of Woz's body movements, and the moment he caught the black Excalibur, the careful Mirajane noticed the brilliance of the magic circle flashing under Woz's clothes.Obviously, when Woz received the enemy's attack, he had already been prepared, and he was not as bare-handed as he showed.

Does the magic really work?Rastyros, who was already in a panic, naturally didn't bother to notice the details of Woz, and really began to doubt his own strength.

Woz breathed a sigh of relief after he blocked the enemy's blow. It wasn't until this step that Rastyros really began to doubt himself.The foreshadowing made by Woz before finally worked!
Rastyros looked at his hands in disbelief: "Impossible! How is this possible! My magic is the strongest, what can compare to imagination!"

Woz reached out to recall the magic book, while continuing to hit the enemy: "Imagination? What ignorance. Although imagination is infinite, as a human being, imagination also needs knowledge and experience to support it. My magic book contains From the history of ancient times to the present, there are countless magical knowledge. With your meager knowledge reserves, what qualifications do you have to compare with my imagination?"

"Shut up!" Rastyros yelled frantically, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Tower of the Empire, come out!" He pointed to Woz's position, "Use all your sorrows to crush these stupid goblins..."

"B word ten, magic power isolation!" Woz tapped lightly, and the dark golden words formed an enveloping net, isolating the magic power communication between the enemy and the outside world.

Without the supply of magic power, Rastyros' magic ended without a problem.

Woz said: "You should know that this magic is not my strongest A-level magic. But it is more than enough to deal with you now..."

Mirajane stuck out her tongue at the back, she was blatantly deceiving the enemy!She remembered that Woz once mentioned that the strength of his numbering magic has nothing to do with the numbering at all, but the sequence of development and the frequency of use are different.

But Rastyros obviously didn't know this, he scratched his head tremblingly, repeating "impossible" in his mouth, like crazy.

"Ah! This is impossible! You must have messed it up!" Rastyros roared frantically, and rushed towards Woz.

"Of course I caused it." Woz shrugged, "My purpose has always been clear."

Watching Rastyros, who was already on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Woz stepped back, dodging his pounce.Then he picked up the magic book again.

"So, a book is a good thing. When it is opened, it can enlighten our wisdom; when it is closed, it can open the enemy's head..." Woz said, looking at the enemy who was knocked unconscious at his feet.

The three left quickly with the two wounded and continued to the camp.

Lisanna looked back with some anxiety: "Is it okay to just throw him over there like this? Wouldn't it be troublesome if he wakes up and attacks us again?"

Mirajani comforted: "Don't worry. That guy...if nothing happens, his magic path in this life has already been terminated."

Lisanna exclaimed: "So powerful? Tell the enemy to collapse?"

Woz said: "As I said, that's magic too, and everything I say in battle is a spell!"

"Is it a lie? What kind of magic is that! There is not even a little magic fluctuation."

"Hehe." Woz said softly, "Mind-attacking magic."
