Chapter 149 Catching Magic Barehanded

With a nimble leap, Fen Yu dodged the oncoming sun disc.

"it's useless!"

However, as if guided by Hyacinthus's roar, the spinning disc, after flying into the sky, traced a huge arc, changed direction, and continued to chase after Burning Feather.

"Hmph, the peace of the soul."

Faced with this tracking magic that seemed to have a deep-seated, persistent effect, Fen Yu merely snorted coldly.

The raging flames on his body instantly dissipated, and the next moment, he swiftly switched his enchantment to the one that could grant immunity to all magic—[Garden of Silence].

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone in Orario, he reached out and caught the rapidly spinning sun disk.

The devastating sun did not make direct contact with his palm.

It was isolated by an invisible, absolute "silence," spinning wildly but unable to advance an inch.

"Holy crap!! Catching magic with bare hands!!"

"What am I seeing? Is this something a carbon-based life form could do?"

"Pause! Pause the replay right now! He just caught a Level 3 ultimate spell—?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the gods on the Tower of Babel went completely mad, shouting excitedly and dancing with joy.

The adventurers in Orario stared wide-eyed, their mouths agape enough to fit a fist.

Catching magic with bare hands?

They had never even heard of such a technique, let alone seen it; it was beyond their entire understanding of combat and magic.

"Damn it, this isn't over yet, Akakasa!!"

Seeing his prized ultimate magic so easily caught by his opponent with his bare hands, Yaxintos was utterly shocked, and a twisted, crazed expression appeared on his face.

He activated the final detonation spell of the magic.

In an instant, the solar disk that was "captured" by the burning feathers emitted a dazzling light, followed by a tremendous explosion.

The terrifying impact and flames spread instantly, completely engulfing Fen Yu.

Before the divine mirror, everyone stared wide-eyed at the area stained white by the flames, eager to see the final outcome.

But most of those who truly understand the truth about the Burning Feather Magic have already guessed the ending.

"It's useless—it's all useless against that woman's added magic."

In the Twilight Mansion, Riveria gently shook her head.

She had personally faced Alphia and deeply experienced the despair of being powerless against "silence," where any magic seemed futile.

She whispered, "Although Burning Feather's magic is not yet at the pinnacle of Alphia's, it is definitely not something that a Lv.3 Yaxintos can break through."

That's exactly what happened.

As the firestorm from the explosion gradually subsided, a figure stepped out unharmed.

The destructive flames seemed to possess a life of their own, parting to separate from him, making him appear like an emperor walking amidst the flames, completely unharmed.

Yaxintos, who had just shown a mocking smile because of the successful detonation, instantly froze.

"The magic is good, but unfortunately, it's useless against me."

Holding a long sword, Fen Yu approached Yaxintos step by step, who was trembling with fear, his voice calm and undisturbed.

"If this is all you've got, then let's end this farce here."

He paused, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the figures buried in the dust and ruins.

"After all, your companions won't last much longer either."

Those were all members of Apollo's clan, and they were wiped out in one fell swoop under his [Extinction - Admonition and Prayer].

But he ultimately showed mercy; most of these people were still alive and could be saved with timely treatment.

After all, adventurers are far more resilient than ordinary people.

As for the few unlucky ones who died, he could only apologize in his heart.

He wasn't yet at a level where he could precisely control the life and death of every target under magic of that scale.

Since they participated in this war game, it means they were prepared to die. They probably won't resent themselves.

Of course, resentment is useless, since he can't hear it anyway.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh—!"

Yacintos let out a final, desperate roar.

His last shred of reason was completely destroyed, like a warrior driven to the brink of despair, launching a final, desperate charge against the invincible demon king.

Everyone in Orario stared wide-eyed at this final scene.

"Keep it up!"

"We absolutely have to defeat that monster!!"

The square was filled with deafening cheers.

However, this was not because they sympathized with Yasintos, nor were they moved by his tragic fighting spirit; it was simply because they had bet on Apollo's kin to win.

If they lose, they'll go bankrupt!

Fen Yu raised the slightly dimmed fire spirit sword in his hand, looking at this third-level fire-resistant weapon that Lefia had given him, and silently apologized to the elven girl in his heart.

Even the third-level fire-resistant armor wouldn't survive long in his hands.

After this battle, this sword should be retired with honor; otherwise, it will only become a pile of useless fragments.

The next moment, his figure transformed into a blur that was difficult to catch with the naked eye, bringing with it a dazzling sword light, and he brushed past Yaxintos who was rushing towards him.

"Click—"

'

With a crisp sound of weapons breaking, what snapped was not the Fire Spirit Sword, but the short blade in Hyacinthus's hand that was already at its limit.

"Pfft—"

A gushing stream of blood spurted from Hyacinthus's chest, tracing a poignant arc behind him.

He fell backward with a crash, as if a mountain of gold had been pushed down or a jade pillar had been toppled, and the last glimmer of light in his eyes went out.

The wind stopped blowing.

The entire battlefield fell silent at that moment.

! !

After a brief silence, deafening cheers erupted throughout Orario, reaching the heavens.

Accompanied by the intense and rapid sound of gongs striking the ancient city ruins, the resounding bells announcing the outcome of the war game echoed throughout the city.

Countless spectators screamed and shouted with extreme excitement at the white-haired boy standing calmly in the ruins in the "mirror".

"Eina, they won! They really won!"

In the spectator hall of the guild headquarters, Misha excitedly hugged Eina beside her, cheering with joy.

Because of Eina, she was acquainted with Fenyu and the others. Compared to the Apollo Familia, which had a bad reputation, she naturally hoped that the Fukaros Familia would win.
