The atmosphere became tense immediately because of Philo's words.
Ron sighed and silently gave a coded signal to his teammates behind his back.
Sure enough, the other side also tensed up, and Claude, who was about the same age as Ron, awkwardly returned to his original position.
Milton broke the silence, saying, "Ron Lance, since you have something to show for it, why not share it? Our Imperial Academy's ranking shouldn't be worse than yours!"
Ron replied, "There were gains, but not in the way you imagine. We should have decided to settle things in the last few days. I hope you can think this through carefully!"
Indeed, while both sides have suffered injuries, the other participating teams have benefited.
However, if the difference in strength is significant, a quick victory and enough points make minor injuries insignificant.
The opposing team, Baron Imperial Academy, has six wins in the top ten, Milton has five wins, and Darren has thirteen points.
Anyone would think that Baron Imperial Academy is stronger overall.
Because of his status as the Duke's son, Milton was still making the decisions there. He glanced at Philo beside him.
After the top ten matches, Philo defeated Milton, and the opinion of the team's strongest player was crucial.
Philo remained silent and took out the silver spear from his back.
The magical silver spear, its name unknown, gave Philo an undeniably dangerous aura as he wielded it.
Milton was at his wits' end; Philo was already armed, so what was there left to discuss?
Ron also drew the magic longsword that was tucked into his waistband.
"So, you have your answer now. Sorry, I'll take what you've gained so far."
Whether you steal or get stolen from, these are free points; why not take them if they're free?
With weapons in hand, both sides formed a formidable formation in an instant: shield warriors and warriors in front, mages behind, and the baron imperial academy students with priests in the middle.
In team battles, it's common sense to defeat the priest and mage first.
Originally, Ron should have let Mord's Shield Warrior go first, but the two opponents were top ten individual fighters.
Maud can't hold on!
As agreed upon several days in advance.
Ron the Demon Swordsman temporarily serves as the vanguard.
Modric replaced Ron as a center-back.
Mord is another line of defense for our side, including the magic archer Monroe and the mage Sherry.
The swordsman Carlisle is on the left, the assassin Pauline is on the right, and the summoner Sybel is behind them.
Depending on the situation, Ron, as a forward, may also leave the team to venture out alone and exploit the opponent's weaknesses.
The incantations of the two magicians rang out simultaneously.
A mysterious, whispered incantation caused nearby elements to surge forward at an accelerated pace.
Peng!
The two strongest members of the team clashed with their guns and swords.
On the other side, Carlisle was struggling to keep up with Milton!
Milton was originally considered the strongest team on the surface, but he lost to his teammate Philo in the top ten qualifiers. Now, Ron and Philo are rivals.
Teamwork is essential.
Ron couldn't afford to get bogged down by Philo; he estimated that Carlisle on their side couldn't hold out.
Carlisle, the duke's heir in the Kingdom of Gil, is very powerful in the kingdom, but he is far less powerful here.
A surge of magical power erupted from Ron's dimensional crystal.
The element of wind seemed to be raging.
The sword's edge extended, and the sword of wind struck Philo, while at the same time, a hand used mental power to guide a minor wind-type spell.
They struck each other several times.
A small spell was cast.
Spinning blade.
The wind blades swept past Philo, heading straight for their priest, but Philo remained unmoved.
Because he also trusts his teammates.
puff!
A square shield blocked the small wind blade; the opponent's shield warrior had good eyesight.
"Ron, you dare to be distracted when facing me!" Philo, who looked like a junior officer, blazed brightly with the light of his silver spear.
But this was the moment Ron had been waiting for.
The point is to act as if you look down on others.
In fact, Ron is about to perform another small spell.
The wind magic circle changed again.
It suddenly transformed into a small, combined wind and earth elemental magic circle.
At the same time, Ron blocked Philo's shot with one hand while chanting a spell.
"..."
Improved Composite Magic!
Having received instruction from seven demigods and legends, Ron's understanding of magic is now vastly different from before.
I was already lacking in understanding.
Since spatial magic hasn't been improved, simpler, compound dual-element minor spells are easily achievable.
Space! Three-dimensional and super composite...
Wind, earth, earth-ball technique.
However, as the magic was completed, Ron whispered to himself again:
"Bullets, present!"
The tiny grains of soil suddenly struck Philo, like a water arrow, but while it had a form, its power was weak and required a lot of mental energy.
Dual-elemental composite magic takes longer and requires more time, but the soil itself has a certain degree of hardness.
This soil is not real soil, but something formed from the solidification of soil elements.
hide!
As Philo dodged, she struck at Ron again, but Ron had already retreated a little.
The opponent's silver gun fell to the ground, raising a little dust.
It has the fertile ground of reality.
So!
Ron's lips curled up slightly.
Little dart, again.
Several attempts with homemade projectiles, unfortunately, were like the water rockets of the past.
Philo blocked them all.
However, thanks to the boost from the small earth bullet and the wind-type propulsion, Filo experienced a slight setback.
Its position is not exactly unstable, but it is not in its best condition.
Taking advantage of the rare opportunity, Ron charged forward with his sword.
In any case, during the battle against Tebbisa, his earth-type combat ability was revealed.
While charging forward, earth-based combat techniques are used for protection.
Flames emanated from the magic longsword.
When fire burns the earth element, fire and earth combine, and the earth element tends to harden.
Fire is used for offense, and earth is added for defense.
I am invincible, I will exchange injury for injury!
Philo smiled slightly as well! Let them come. I, Philo, have never been afraid to lead my army to wipe out the beast tide.
Bang... Clang... Clang...
The sound of weapons could be heard intermittently.
Ron's sword flash grazed Philo's arm, while his spear flash grazed Ron's other arm as well.
Wind Blade Sword.
The magic longsword, already imbued with fire magic, is further enhanced with wind magic, creating a dazzling display of flames and wind...
The magic sword slashed down diagonally.
puff!
This time, he blocked an attack for Filo from below.
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
As expected, Philo, who was hiding his true strength, is very powerful. I wonder how he would fare against Vicky if they went all out. No wonder he was able to defeat Milton, who was on the same team, during the top ten tournament.
Given his personality, he might hold back when facing Field and Tebbisa.
If we can win, we will; if there's a high chance we can't, we'll leave it for the team competition and decide the winner in one go.
Because the top ten teams are very close in points, and there are players like Milton and Darren, he doesn't need to put in as much effort in the individual competition.
So what? At worst, we can use level nine magic power for a short time, plus the four elemental combat geniuses, and we will surely win!
Ron pondered whether he should do everything he could to improve the college's ranking.
A demigod!
But the mentor isn't a demigod...
Ron's gaze toward Philo grew increasingly cold. Philo, a former general, suddenly sensed danger emanating from Ron, a feeling running through her: No way... Ron, two years her junior, has a backup plan!
No, no, how could that be? He's already incredibly talented.
Both sides possessed considerable spiritual and mental power, serving as rivals while harboring their own agendas.
At this moment, Ron was likely to go all out when suddenly, both sides' mages stopped chanting their spells.
The priest bestowed divine light upon Philo.
The divine art of light bestows mercy upon humanity through the power of light...
But the belated healing light was accompanied by large-scale magic from both sides' professional-level mages.
Light blades rain down.
The wind swept across the land.
Retreat, retreat, retreat...
Elemental rays enveloped the entire area…
