Fake Professor, Misunderstood As Strong - Chapter 234

Chapter 234: A Chaotic Battle… Part-1.
*BOOM!*

Closing the distance at fast speed, Jareth punched towards Nathan and forced the other party to use more space magic to dodge.

[Grade-1 Fire Magic: Beam of endless pursuit!]

Jareth pointed his finger towards Nathan as the other party appeared out of another portal and fired a massive beam made of condensed true flames.

[Grade-2 Space Magic: Portal of Redirection!]

Nathan also immediately cast a spell to counter Jareth’s magic and tried to teleport that beam of fire back to Jareth.

“Have you not learned your lesson yet? You can’t teleport my magic idiot!”

Nathan’s magic circuit for space magic was immediately destroyed by the beam of condensed true flames, which burned straight through the portal without teleporting.

“Tch!”

[Grade-2 Space Magic: Spatial Shuffle!]

Nathan stomped the ground, and a massive circuit made of miasma spread out, making it possible, and immediately teleported away Nathan at random.

Similar to shuffling the position of cards in a deck, the spell shuffled Nathan’s location in a set area continuously, thus making it impossible for the tracking spell to keep pursuing him.

This kind of teleportation is random, and it’s like a gamble; there are even chances of you getting teleported right in front of the attack, which will make things even worse.

But Nathan had no other choice but to take the gamble.

If he uses his teleportation field once again, Jareth will smash it to bits with his physical power once again, and that will waste even more mana.

Thus, he had to use an alternate method.

Just when Nathan was slowly exhausting the power of the fire beam, Jareth raised his finger in a certain location and fired his magic.

[Grade-3 Fire Magic: Fist of the Fire Giant!]

Seeing Jareth try to fire magic, a mocking smile appeared on Nathan’s face.

‘Idiot, this shuffle is completely random; not even I can control it; there’s no way your attack will land on me…’

‘Once I get rid of this pursuing attack, I will show you hell and attack you with even more powerful space attacks!’

But just when Nathan was thinking about attacking Jareth, he got teleported to the exact location where Jareth had fired the flame fist attack.

A look of horror and shock appeared in Nathan’s eyes.

“H-how is this possible-”

*BOOOM!*

Before he could even complete his words, Nathan was hit by the flame fist directly, and he flew away like a cannonball.

His body broke right through the walls behind and crashed on the ground right after.

“Don’t forget my mana detection is exceptionally good… I can’t interfere with your magic right now because it’s made up of miasma, but I can definitely do other things…”

“For example, calculating the pattern of your attacks… In this closed area, you could only teleport to a few limited spots; obviously, I took everything into consideration…”

With Jareth’s insanely highly intelligent brain and powerful mana detection capability, calculating these complex possibilities was as easy as taking a walk in the park.

It was Nathan who was underestimating his capabilities a bit too much.

Just as Jareth was about to continue his onslaught of attacks, a gigantic snake came crashing down along with the ceiling.

‘A grade-1 monster? What is this doing here?’

And that was just the start; two more grade-1 puppets came flying and crashed down in front of Jareth like falling missiles!

*BOOOM!*

“BAHAHAHA, As I said, Jareth! You are dead meat today!!”

Nathan wiped the blood from his mouth and laughed like a maniac as he teleported once again to confront Jareth.

This time he has the support of his friends, though.

‘Puppet squad? Weren’t they only supposed to appear in the end stage of the story line… Well, I guess I messed up the plot so much that many things are coming out early…

Puppet Squad is basically a group of genetically modified test subjects that Fisur created to be his subordinates.

In the game, he used several hundreds and thousands of corpses to create the puppet squad that couldn’t use magic but had physical capabilities as strong as an early grade 1 warrior.

These are basically the direct guards and the most valuable assets under Fisur’s command.

‘And this snake must be some wild monster that he altered with his mutation magic and made his puppet…’

‘Tch, he’s trying to delay me…’

Jareth isn’t an idiot; he easily saw through what the other party was planning.

He knows Fisur’s character personality all too well.

Fisur is a coward type of person, and he never fights head-on; he always tries to use his puppets and others to do his bidding.

In fact, he doesn’t even have proper combat experience; his expertise lies solely in forbidden magic and illegal research that involves very shady stuff.

‘He’s likely already found the golden nail and is now trying to destroy it, but as I can cause problems in his plan, he’s going all out to delay me as much as possible.’

Jareth knows that Fisur is the type of guy who will run away as soon as the mission is completed if there’s any danger to his life in the vicinity.

‘His original plan must be to torture all the elven people after dealing with the golden nail, but now that I am proving to be much more trouble than he could handle…’

‘He’s going to run away as soon as he’s done completing his mission…’

Thinking about all this, a smirk appeared on Jareth’s face.

‘Idiot, you really think I am stupid enough to fall for this obvious plan? I am not a warrior or a knight; I am not obliged to stay in one place and deal with your subordinates first before dealing with you…’

Jareth is a wizard after all, who are known for their cunning and scheming nature.

Fisur’s thinking that Jareth will get swept by emotions and deal Nathan, who’s the enemy of the nation, at all costs first before doing anything else.

But that thinking is completely wrong.

Jareth doesn’t give a single sh*t about dealing with the problems of the human empire or taking revenge from Nathan.

What he’s after is preservation of the golden nail.

And thus, he has no need to entangle himself with these cannon fodders.

In fact, Fisur should be more worried about how to tie down Jareth in one place, not him.

[Basic Magic: Float!]

[Mana Command: Smoothen Mana flow!]

*BOOM!*

Jareth completely ignored the four grade-1 beings that were getting ready to attack him and flew towards Fisur’s direction like a rocket!

The moment he flew into the sky, he directly broke through the sound barrier and created a powerful sonic boom.

A powerful shockwave spread in all directions, and the four grade-1 being in the vicinity were forced to take a few steps back from this sudden movement.

They didn’t even have the time to react, and only when Jareth was gone for several seconds did they realize that Jareth completely ignored them and rushed towards their boss directly!

“Wait! You f*cking coward!! Where are you running to!!”

“Pursue him!!”

[Grade-1 Space Magic: Spatial Walk!]

Nathan was the first one to react and follow after Jareth. He controlled the space and accelerated himself towards Jareth at an insanely high speed.

The giant snake also used mana and rushed towards Jareth, although at a slower pace.

As for the two puppets, they had no mana, so they had to rush towards Jareth’s direction on foot with all their might.

Aside from Nathan, the other three couldn’t keep up with Jareth’s speed at all and were easily left far behind.

Jareth directly broke through the ceiling and walls that came in his way and flew towards the central training grounds at an extremely high speed.

Still, Nathan was faster; he used teleportation to appear in front of Jareth and tried to stop him.

But Jareth was ready for him; he had already covered his fist in fire elementals long ago.

He knew that Nathan would definitely teleport in front of him and try to stop him from flying away, like how he was fighting with Abella back then.

Thus, Jareth easily predicted this move before Nathan could even use any attack magic.

Jareth’s flame-covered fist hit him in the stomach, and the true flames started to burn his body with extreme heat!

“AHHHHHH!!! IT’S HOT!! AHHHHHH!!!”

*BOOOM!*

Once hit by that powerful punch, Nathan’s body flew away like an arrow, and he fell to the ground, creating a massive crater.

‘Hmm… he used a space-type shield to decrease the attack’s effectiveness… Still, this one must have definitely done some decent damage…’

Jareth knew that this one attack was not enough to completely kill Nathan, and at most it must have only caused internal organ damage and severe burn damage.

But Nathan will be able to keep fighting even with this much damage, and Jareth doesn’t have the time to get entangled with him here right now.

Thus, he completely ignored the other party and flew straight toward the central training ground at the highest speed possible.

‘You better not have destroyed it yet, Fisur Jolmoh…’
