「Th-That magic―――Ulrike’s!?」
「Master’s number eighteen. Take that! ―――Pierce, flame!」
Densely concentrated flames shot from Sam’s arm toward Günther, whose eyes widened in surprise.
This is unnamed magic that Ur was good at and used a lot.
It was vicious magic that shot out high-density flames with heightened magical power, like lasers.
The power of this magic was equal to that of higher-level offensive magic.
He had overcome numerous crises with this magic.
It has overcome the barriers and hard scales of a giant dragon that has lived for a thousand years and calls itself the Dragon King.
The regenerative powers of a vampire leader who calls himself the Immortal King.
The magic of a vicious wizard who calls himself a great wizard.
All have been crushed and defeated with this magic.
Only wizards with powerful magic like Sam and Ur―――are capable of this high-density magic bombardment.
That was the true nature of this magic.
「UwooooOOOOOOOOO!!!」
Flames so intense that the vision is covered in red collide with Günther’s wards.
The magic that hit him with a roar shatters his wards one after another with a sound.
「I-I didn’t expect this much.」
Sam said to Günther, who looked at him with surprised eyes.
「This isn’t over yet.」
「―――No way.」
「I can fire several shots at once, just like Ur was!」
Multiple fireballs float around Sam.
Each of them was filled with powerful magic and dense flames.
「Impossible!」
Günther barks.
「Are you saying that you are as good as Ulrike? At your age, you’re already catching up to Ulrike!」
「You can measure whether I’m as good as Ur or not. Let’s go, Günther Ignaz. This is a residential area, so make sure you catch it without causing any damage to the surrounding area, okay?」
「―――Wait!」
Sam shot more flashes of flame without waiting for a reply.
There were ten of them.
The high-density flames hit Günther from all directions.
「Guu, kuu! Aaaaaaa, gaaaaaAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!」
Günther piled on the wards, but the power of Sam’s fire-heat bombardment was greater.
It ate through ward after ward, finally destroying all the wards protecting Günther.
The next moment, a huge explosion occurred with Günther at the center.
◆◇◆◇◆
Lise and Erica, both sisters, were stunned with their mouths wide open.
The ground shook with the sound of explosions.
The heat did not reach them thanks to their wards, but all of Günther’s wards that had protected them and their surroundings shattered and crumbled.
「―――Lies.」
「I can’t believe it. Is this what Sam is capable of?」
Lise and her family know that Sam is a protégé of her sister Ur, and that she inherited everything from her sister.
They have also seen him assimilate the body-enhancing magic he excels at, the skills he inherited from his sister, and the combat skills he has absorbed one after another through his training.
They also know that Sam is aspiring to become a court wizard, and that his ultimate goal is to become the most powerful man in the world.
But the sisters underestimated Sam.
They thought he was a young boy who had yet to reach adulthood, but that he had great talent and a promising future.
Even Lise, who was actually training with him, thought it would be a long time before he became a court magician.
She had never dreamed that Sam would be capable of destroying the wards that Günther, the fifth seat court wizard, was so proud of.
Günther’s ward technique is so robust that it is used to protect royalty going to their offices, and no one has ever broken it except for Ur.
He has already prevented several assassination attempts.
Despite the fact that Günther had deployed many layers of wards, all of them were destroyed.
Even Lise, who is not familiar with magic, knows that this is impossible.
Even more frightening, Sam still seemed to have room to spare.
「I mean, is Günther safe?」
Erica voiced her concern as she recalled.
Lise huffs at the sound of her sister’s voice.
Although the confrontation had been initiated by Günther, if Sam took his life, it could turn the duke’s family against him.
Even such a pervert is the next head of the ducal family.
He didn’t want to put his cute little brother through unnecessary hardship.
「Call the recovery wizard! Get me the best recovery wizard in the country!」
「I-I-I’ll just go get the recovery wizard at home for now!」
Lise shouts to the maid who was waiting for her, and Erica tries to run.
But,
「Lise, Erica, I appreciate your concern, but it doesn’t extend beyond that.」
A calming voice arrived from the earthly smoke.
「Günther?」
「I see I’ve worried you. But I’m fine.」
A naked Günther, with lacerations all over his body, appeared.
