Chapter 76
A golden flash surged forward. Swiftness like light itself racing. The ultimate knight he faced for the first time since his rebirth, an Avatar user.
But this was ‘Dale’s world’. That white and dark winter night, the world of death projecting its bitter cold and darkness. The arena imprisoning the two.
The significance of projecting one’s world of thought when a mage exerts their full power. It is akin to building a ‘mage’s fortress’.
For instance, a mere sixth-circle mage who doesn’t fully grasp its meaning… For ordinary Magic Tower elders, it remains at a basic level: amplifying their mental focus for spell optimization, strengthening their formulas, and increasing the purity of their mana color. But Dale was different.
The realm of thought… He understood the true meaning behind the ‘Mage’s Fortress’ and knew how to harness its power.
Wizards do not train with the purpose of excelling in war. Even if their power is of a destructive nature, no matter how high their circle, they do not specialize their magic for combat.
Take, for instance, the 6th-circle elders defeated by Dale after his rebirth.
They were merely ‘scholars’ who had acquired power slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Even if the principles of the disciplines they pursue are terrifying and cruel, even if they wield powers beyond the reach of ordinary men, scholars cannot defeat warriors in the first place.
But the ‘world’ revealed by the greatest battle mages who fell to warriors long ago. Mages who did not hesitate to become warriors. High-ranking mages who had reached the sixth circle and beyond.
