Chapter 113: Turns Out to Be a Novice Mage

‘Just as I suspected!’

William silently observed Lisa’s panel in front of him while continuing to engage with her.

Following Lisa’s challenge information, the system also refreshed a new challenge task.

—

[Ding~]

[Limited Challenge Task Triggered]

[Objective: Defeat Silver-tier Mage Lisa Cain]

[Reward: Depending on the completion of the task]

——

Alright, now is not the time to consider Lisa’s identity!

The thought of being able to glean skills and expertise from Lisa, a legendary-tier talent, excited William.

‘I have to give it a try. Although there’s a significant gap between my strength and Lisa’s, how would I know if I don’t try?’

William tightened his grip on the emerald staff in his hand, first casting shield and enhancement spells on himself, then waiting in anticipation, earnestly releasing attack spells towards Lisa.

Lisa didn’t know what was happening. Why did Young Master William suddenly become serious? Wasn’t it just supposed to be an exercise?

Feeling bewildered, Lisa reluctantly cast a magical shield on herself, blocking William’s attacks.

Young Master William seems to have recently broken through to Silver-tier, why does it feel like he’s a bit strong?

Lisa was puzzled, but then stopped thinking about it, attributing it to Young Master William’s genius.

I also need to work hard; I can’t disappoint Young Master!

Thinking to herself, magical energy surged into Lisa’s Frostbite Staff, and the advanced water elemental magic gem emitted a dangerously captivating azure light.

A massive, crystal-clear blue ice cone appeared in mid-air, pausing briefly before ruthlessly smashing towards William.

Tier-5 Cryomancy Spell: Frost Spear!

William’s eyelids twitched. The power was too outrageous!

He hadn’t even considered attempting to resist this attack with his shield spell; hastily he dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the colossal ice cone.

Wow!

Is this the effect of the talent, Elemental Dominator?

Indeed, it truly deserves to be a legendary-tier talent that enhances spell power so terrifyingly!

Though it wasn’t displayed on the panel, William remembered the detailed information about this legendary-tier talent.

[Talent: Elemental Dominator]

[Tier: Legendary]

[Effect: You are favored by the elements, a genius in the art of Cryomancy! When using elemental spells, spell power increases by 100%, mana consumption decreases by 50%, and spell cooldown time is greatly reduced.]

Violence!

Absolute violent output!

What is Cryomancy?

As the name suggests, it’s the shaping of magical elements and energy to form different physical spells, such as Fireball, Frost Spear, Lightning Bolt, and so on.

Cryomancy spells also have a more familiar name: Elemental Magic.

So, from the effect of the Elemental Dominator talent, one can see just how exaggerated the enhancement is for Lisa’s use of Cryomancy spells.

In his previous life, William still remembered the terrifying scenes when Lisa, as a legendary mage, cast her spells.

Those multicolored spheres that filled the sky, seemingly beautiful but harboring terrifying power, were all spells she used.

Indeed, worthy of the name Torrent, Lisa was truly a master of artillery-style magic!

At that time, Lisa was jokingly referred to by players as the Legendary Mage of Bullet Hell.

However, facing this challenge now isn’t the Blood Rose Princess Hilda from the previous life, but the current William.

William dodged the huge ice cone and looked at the deep pit smashed into the courtyard, somewhat astonished.

With you around, summer must be quite cool!

This won’t do. Facing a cannon-like mage like Lisa, I must close the distance. If Lisa is allowed to output without pressure, it won’t be good.

With this plan in mind, William swiftly moved closer to Lisa.

Lisa, too, was startled by the power of her recent spell and hesitated to strike.

She felt that if she cast a few more spells, the courtyard of the Cain Mansion would be destroyed.

Regardless of whether William and Lord Joyce blame her or not, Lisa didn’t want this to happen.

During her years in the library, this exquisite courtyard had become a small part of her world, and she didn’t want to ruin it.

So, after casting Advanced Elemental Shield and Advanced Magic Resistance Domain on herself, Lisa mainly used control spells, refraining from using the high-power Elemental spells she had used earlier.

William didn’t pay attention to Lisa’s casting of these control spells; after just a brief skirmish, he noticed the issues with Lisa.

She lacked combat experience and almost no combat skills!

Lisa’s fighting style was simple: stand in place to cast a shield on herself, then cast spells for attack, repeat.

In other words, there was no active engagement; she just stood there continuously casting spells. Moreover, Lisa’s spell hit rate wasn’t high either, and William easily dodged most of them.

This was probably because Lisa had spent most of her time in the library, rarely having the opportunity to practice combat.

Although in the future, after becoming a legendary mage, Lisa’s preferred method of combat was still standing and casting spells, it was just the most suitable choice to maximize her abilities and talents. The combat skills of a legendary mage like Lisa were quite terrifying.

Thinking about it, Lisa, who cast spells like fireworks filling the sky, was able to accurately hit every target, demonstrating her terrifying control.

In comparison, the current Lisa, still a novice, had quite a lot to learn, leaving too many opportunities for William.

Moreover, in order to avoid excessive damage to the courtyard, Lisa now used mostly low-power spells and control spells, posing even less threat to William.

So, after skillfully dodging the spell attacks, William easily rushed to Lisa’s side.

Blue Bomb+ Shatterburst!

The combination of these two arcane spells was still effective, directly dispelling all of Lisa’s defensive spells.

Lisa seemed surprised that William could easily break through her shield. Without hesitation, she hurriedly cast a new elemental shield.

Seeing this, William smiled lightly and surged forward towards Lisa.

With a flash of his emerald staff, it transformed into a chilling longsword, thrusting towards Lisa with a somewhat frightened look in her eyes.

—

[You switched weapons, activating the effect of “Mastery of Arms – Unique”!]

[You enter the “Excellence” state, increasing skill damage by 10%]

——

The newly generated elemental shield had almost no resistance to physical attacks, and it shattered directly under William’s swordlight.

Lisa didn’t have time to cast spells again; William’s sword tip steadily pointed at her chest.

Lisa’s eyes were filled with confusion.

Wasn’t Young Master William a mage? Why did he suddenly pull out a longsword?

After hesitating for a moment, Lisa said somewhat pitifully, “I-I lost, Young Master William.”
