Project: Mage - The Frugal Mage

Alexa Gordon was the first person to charge and attack the ice creatures with her magic.

A light blue light shone around her body and several sharp-tipped ice streams appeared on the floor with her. Chains darted towards the ice creatures.

But why was Alex using ice magic to fight the ice creatures? The answer was simple.

Pang… Pang… Pang… Pang…

The ice streams penetrated the creatures' heads as if they were made of paper. The creatures were very weak compared to Alex.

Without their heads, the creatures still paced as if disoriented. The creatures had no skills, only physical strength.

Alex did not stop and continued running from side to side while she destroyed the heads.

The other participants also split up and started to attack.

"Ice Chains!!!" Xie Xinyue also attacked with chains made of ice, but the difference is that it melted the creatures' heads after pierce. The heat emanating from the chains was very powerful.

"Flaming Impact !!" Yuan Chun brought the two hands together before creating a giant fireball. The ball exploded and the fire began to spread like rain towards the disoriented creatures. This ability was created by Yuan Chun.

The ice creatures began to melt like snowmen in the heat.

"Watch out for that skill !!!" Another participant screamed after being almost hit by the rain of flame. He was irritated by this.

"If you can dodge, dodge alone" Yuan Chun spoke dismissively. He was not concerned whether someone would be hit by his abilities or not.

Everyone had a truce at the time, but that did not stop the participants from using area skills to attack the creatures. If someone was hit, it would be considered unlucky. Everyone knows it.

Besides, Yuan Chun was not the only one who was doing this. Other participants were also skilled in the area to make others dodge or run.

"Interesting ... Don't blame me for that then" The young man with the sharp, thin eyes looked at Yuan Chun before speaking in a threatening tone. He belongs to the Empire of Korean.

A strong light of brown color shone around his body, the magical energy exploded afterward.

"Seismic Fist !!!" The young man hit the ground before an earthquake struck around him.

The ground started to shake and break.

Crack… Crack… Crack… Crack…

The snow was pushed aside, the block of ice was shown, but soon it was breaking quickly because of the Seismic Fist.

Booooooooom !!!!!

The ice pack was broken and some participants sank a few meters. Yuan Chun was among the youth who fell into the hole.

"Hey!!!! Why did you do that???!!!!!!!!" Another participant commented. She was frustrated after falling into the hole. The young Korean didn't have to do that.

"I am doing the same thing as that Chinese participant over there. He's also using area attacks to deal with the creatures, so I did the same "The young Korean justified himself. He didn't fall into the hole.

"Do you really think I can be bullied like that? I will show you. Thunderstorm!!!!!" The young woman who spoke had brown skin because of the sun, she belongs to the Union of Latin American Nations.

The power of a Great Magician exploded from the girl's body. She didn't hold back because she was going to show that she wouldn't be easy to be bullied.

The sky above everyone started to get dark, the black clouds suddenly appeared and completely covered the place around the hole.

Golden-colored thunder and lightning began to dance in the sky like snakes ready to attack their prey.

"Explode everything!!!!" The young woman ordered.

Booooooom !!!!!!

Lightning started to fall and bombard the ground like a rain of lightning and thunder.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... ZZZzzzzzzzz

The sounds of hissing were being heard everywhere. Lightning and thunder were blasting every area it hit.

To target only the people who tried to attack her, the young woman used only her magic around her.

Booooom !!!! Booooom !!!! Booooom !!!!

After ten seconds of thunder and lightning bomber. The site inside and around the hole was totally destroyed. The rays burned everywhere it hit.

"Crazy woman, are you trying to kill us ??? !!!" Another mage screamed in anger, he was almost hit by the violent rays.

The participants who were inside the hole suffered the most, as they did not have many places to run.

"I will say the same words as our friend before: If you can dodge, dodge alone. It is not of my importance if you chose to stand still and get hit "The young Latina woman did not back down and screamed in anger. She was already irritated by the attacks of the other magicians.

"You!!!!" The young man preferred to be quiet and not to show irritation. He knew that others who started this misfortune of using magic on a large scale to affect each other.

Since there were only participants who would rather attack the creatures than create confusion, they preferred to get out of the hole to avoid further problems.

Xuan Chun was inside the hole because he was the person who almost hit the Korean participant before. Xie Xinyue was far from him, as she did not want to create confusion with others and waste energy.

…

"Hot Water Wave" Xie Xinyue was walking while behind her there was a hot water trail appearing. As she walked, more hot water appeared. She was boiling snow to create hot water and melt the bodies of the creatures, at least the legs. The other participants would finish destroying the rest.

On the floor were hundreds of sparkling crystals, these crystals were the elemental crystals that the participants had to pick up to complete the mission. But none of them need this, as they had already completed the mission.

Furthermore, these elemental crystals were of no use to these young people. Since they all came from influential and powerful groups, they had all kinds of resources at their disposal to use.

At the site, there were only three people who were taking these crystals. Xie Xinyue, a girl with golden hair and a young man with tan skin and bald head. The three were taking the crystals because they had a use for it.

As there was a large quantity, neither of them tried to cause confusion or steal a crystal from the other. For the biggest goal of all was to be able to defeat the creatures and fight the giant ice wolf.

…

The fight against the ice creatures took a long time before everyone was defeated.

Since the creatures had an only physical attacks, using magic against them was easy. The problem was that not everyone was strong enough to break the creatures' ice bodies.

Some participants were just Advanced Mages, they didn't have the element of fire to help. As they did not want to use their magic equipment to increase their combat power and reveal some trump cards. They could only spend a little more energy to defeat the creatures.

Participants who had the element of fire or something that created heat, they had more advantages when it came to fighting.

…

"All creatures have been defeated. Now we just need the giant ice wolf "Alex was in front of the bubble, next to her was the others. Each was trying to analyze the bubble in its own way.

"Alex, do you have any idea how we are going to break this bubble of stone and ice?" Grace commented. She was on Alex's right side, on the left was Rhys.

"The only way to break is by using brute force. We have to use our magic to break this bubble and the inner layers until we reach the ice wolf "

Finishing speaking, Alex put her hand on the ice bubble before closing her eyes. A violet glow appeared from her body and entered the bubble.

(Wave element !!!) The other participants around saw the violet light and exclaimed in their minds. They already knew that Alex had the wave or sound element, but they didn't know which one it was.

The violet color represents the wave element, while the lilac color represents the sound. Mages can differentiate the two elements by colors.

After seeing the violet light, they were able to confirm which element Alex used to send the mental message to them.

The wave element was a type of rare and strange element, unlike attacks that can hurt the physical body like fire and thunder. The wave element affected the opponent's mind, as it can create illusions and dizziness directly in the person's mind. In some cases, a person can even be controlled by a user of the wave element.

The sound element was a little different, the sound element had relaxing or irritating effects depending on the user and what it was being used for. Like the wave element, the sound element affects the opponent's mind and ears causing dizziness and other adverse effects.

Fighting these two types of mages requires something very difficult to obtain: A strong mind to endure mental pain.

Improving mental power is something that will be presented later.
