Chapter 358: Chapter 356: Champion and the Mysterious Grand Prize
About the knowledge of the [Contract Nullification] magic, it was quickly infused into Hilia’s mind by Rose.
Hilia carefully perceived it and realized that this type of magic is not difficult once you understand its principle.
The difference between magic and spells is that magic requires only magic power to cast, whereas spells require runes in addition to magic power, and some spells also have casting conditions.
For example, the casting condition of the [Contract Nullification] magic is that the opponent’s contract needs to be weakened to a certain extent before it can be used.
Hilia, as a rune genius, quickly grasped the spell, and within a few minutes, she had thoroughly understood it and successfully entered the basics.
"This kind of simple magic can be grasped quickly; you don’t need to waste time practicing it, and you don’t have the conditions to practice," said Rose.
Hilia nodded, "Got it!"
"Consider learning other spells when you reach Tier Four; learning spells before then will only waste time."
"Yes, yes!"
...
Soon, the third match started.
It’s been a long time since the team competition had such anticipation, raising the expectations of all the spectators.
Under the cheers and applause of the audience as both sides appeared, Hilia quietly calculated the time, waiting until the banter time was almost over before suddenly ’curiously’ asking: "Mr. Laine, during the match earlier you kept glancing at Miss Marica. Is she your true love?"
With those words, the atmosphere on the other side instantly changed.
The girl named Marica had hearts in her eyes, looking at Laine in front, while the other three girls also looked at him, but their gazes were cold.
Laine broke out in a cold sweat, shaking his head repeatedly: "I’m not, I didn’t."
"10, 9..."
He wanted to explain further, but the referee’s countdown had already started.
Laine quickly stabilized his emotions, but still felt sharp stares behind his back. He dared not look back to explain since the match had started; if he wanted to explain, it would have to wait until the match was over.
As long as the match was played beautifully, there would be no need for explanations!
Having come this far, his teammates understood what was important, so they didn’t say anything, and after the match started, they immediately began preparing the Dragon Language Magic.
However, they didn’t notice that the connection between them seemed to weaken...
Meanwhile, Hilia and the others also made preparations, following the plan discussed earlier. While the magic puppets stood forward using defense magic to confuse their opponents, they were all quietly gathering power.
This time, they would not use tactics and combination skills.
They were ready to unleash their most powerful attack, just waiting for the flaw that Hilia spoke of to appear.
The Blue Dragon Team’s Dragon Language Magic was used quickly, seeing that Hilia and the others did not use the [Super Invincible I Love You], they unleashed the magic puppet’s big fireball from the first match, or called it—Simulated Dragon Breath.
Laine stared at Hilia, calming himself down after realizing that Hilia was trying to sow discord, he sneered a little.
Sowing discord is useless and doesn’t affect the match result.
Without your strongest killer move, you are no match for Dragon Language Magic.
Victory belongs to the Blue Dragon Empire!
Take my Dragon Breath attack!
The magic puppet transformed into a massive white fireball, rushing towards the Holy Maiden Squad with scorching, ominous heat.
"Well done!"
Hilia raised her magic staff, a strange ripple spread out.
Everyone sensed this ripple, but didn’t know its purpose.
Until Laine suddenly felt the connection with his four teammates becoming unstable.
His expression changed, looking up at the magic puppet charging towards the Holy Maiden Squad and was surprised to see the white flames on the magic puppet rapidly dissipating.
"How is this possible..."
What met him was a powerful spell the Holy Maiden Squad had long prepared.
Without the support of Dragon Language Magic, they were just ordinary Tier Three limit mages.
Not even as good as other Tier Three limits, because their training for the league focused on Dragon Language Magic.
When Dragon Language Magic failed, they couldn’t even properly use regular magic.
Before long.
When the smoke cleared, the audience found the referee already standing before the Blue Dragon Team.
The five Blue Dragons were in a daze, seemingly not yet realizing what happened.
The referee made the final announcement:
"In this match, Holy Maiden Squad wins."
"Congratulations to the Holy Maiden Squad for achieving final victory, winning the Mage League Team Championship!"
Countless spectators rose excitedly.
"Holy Maiden Squad! Holy Maiden Squad! Holy Maiden Squad!"
"Hilia! Hilia! Hilia!"
"Indeed, Hilia is the strongest!"
"Had expected it, after all, Hilia hasn’t even used the move that defeated the referee!"
"This year’s match is truly exciting! Truly the continent’s most talented mage team!"
"Woohoo! I won 5 gold coins hahaha!"
"Aaaaah—! I lost 10 gold coins, damn Blue Dragon Team!"
"Betting degenerates should all die!"
"..."
On the stage, Laine was lost in thought, after a while he regained composure, looking towards Hilia opposite him, asking: "Miss Hilia, could I ask what magic you used?"
Hilia said: "Basic magic, Contract Nullification, your Dragon Language Magic is strong but relies too much on the contract. By nullifying your contract, even temporarily, it’s enough to decide victory."
Laine pondered, "I see, thank you, Laine admits defeat wholeheartedly."
With that, he mimicked the strong ones, flinging his sleeves, wanting to leave proudly.
But when he turned around, instead of leaving the stage, he faced his four teammates glaring at him.
His expression changed: "Not here, I’m begging you."
Saying this while running off, appearing very embarrassed, his four teammates following behind.
Watching the opponent leave, Doris whispered: "This guy, flirting with four girls at once, should split him up, one share for each."
"Ahem, such words can’t be said carelessly," Benovia reminded.
Doris gave a soft snort.
After the match ended, came the award ceremony and speech segment.
Every team competition, aside from match content, there’s another attraction, which is the league committee’s prepared mysterious grand prize.
This year is no exception.
As the temporary president, Ashburn replaced Adrian for the award ceremony, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, he read from the script entirely, quickly went through it, and finally announced the mysterious grand prize.
"The grand prize for this year’s Mage League Team Competition is—"
"First comes a tailored... High-Level Elemental Crystal Core for each participant!"
Numerous gasps were heard from the audience.
"Perhaps some don’t know what an Elemental Crystal Core is, let me explain here."
"Elemental Crystal Cores are similar to Magic Crystals, the difference is Magic Crystals are condensed by magic power, whereas Elemental Crystal Cores are individually condensed from various elements, not only can serve as gemstones for mounting on weapons but can also provide extra training efficiency when carried daily, and have special effects."
"For example, an Ice Element Crystal Core can allow a mage to walk freely in cold regions like the Land of the Far North, without additional magic power expenditure for warmth, and can also partly immunize ice magic damage."
"Hmm?"
Hilia immediately looked over, eyes blazing.
This truly was custom-made for her.
Because after the competition, she intended to visit the Land of the Far North.
What a coincidence?
