The two people were fighting in the air, floating as if it were the easiest thing to do in the world. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮
They moved through the air like they were stepping on the ground, moving as they attacked each other, dodging, defending, and counterattacking.
Amidst the rapid movements impossible for Vicente to keep up with, magical pentagrams would appear around them, glowing brightly as different forms of powers appeared in the surroundings.
Everything was happening at a speed difficult for someone with no control over their own mana like Vicente to keep up. But he could see when a yellow pentagram glowed intensely, and one of the arms of one of those two transformed into a limb four times as big, showing animalistic contours.
Then that person attacked his opponent with the claws that grew on his body, forming blades in the air towards his target.
Swooish!
The other man quickly moved against this attack while a green pentagram glowed in front of him.
From that green pentagram, something began to emerge from the void of space as if it were a space portal.
Soon a giant golden shield solidified in front of this magician, seeming to be something as concrete as the carriage the Fuller family was in.
Vicente opened his mouth, watching these movements, identifying several things in the short moments that had passed since he had noticed the disturbance caused by these two’s combat.
“Magic Sovereigns!” Andrew looked out the window of his carriage and shouted, not believing that right in this place, two such powerful magicians had appeared.
“What? They’re Magic Sovereigns?” Vice exclaimed as Lauren stared out the window with her mouth open.
‘Magic Sovereigns… Not for less that person has a Green Magic Pentagram!’
Magical Pentagrams had their own classification. They varied in quality according to their origin, ranging from the worst to the best in the following order:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Indigo, and Violet.
According to the magic theory Vice had learned, Red Magic Pentagrams could be found at a ratio of 1 for every 10 natural magical beings.
In other words, they were easy to find, and absorbing them should not be difficult, even for beginner magicians.
Orange ones could be found at a ratio of 1 to 200, Yellow ones at 1 to 4,000, Green ones at 1 to 80,000, Cyan ones at 1 to 1,600,000, Indigo ones at 1 to 32,000,000, and Violet ones at 1 to 640,000,000.
But Vice knew this record was based on the information cataloged by this magical civilization. In practice, finding such pentagrams could be more difficult or easier.
It was only a probability, so in one place, there could either be resources or places capable of generating a Violet Magic Pentagram or none at all.
Seeing that man with a Green Magic Pentagram, he saw an extremely privileged and lucky person, one of the few in this world who had something so highly ranked.
‘Will I be able to become like that?’ He wondered as he followed the little bit of the battle up to that moment with gleaming eyes.
Amidst Vice’s close observation, his father shouted to the men at the front of his carriage. “Quickly. Get us out of here as quickly as possible! It’s too dangerous for us to be near a battle of two Sovereigns!” He said in an agitated tone, breaking into a cold sweat.
After the initial surprise passed, his rational side kicked in and gave the order he should.
While the coachman did what he should, the two men fighting in the skies talked amidst their blows.
“Today will be your end, old bug!” The one with the better set of pentagrams said as another of his pentagrams glowed brightly, showing a Yellow this time.
“Malik, don’t be so confident. As much as I don’t have the ideal set of pentagrams, I can fully wipe out your race!”
Another Yellow pentagram glowed at this man’s feet while the Magic Gem on his forehead constantly refined his mana toward his pentagrams.
Then a skeleton of a giant bestial creature appeared from space, first revealing one of its claws and then showing itself completely.
This skeleton glowed gray, while in place of its eyes, there were two yellow lights.
It emitted a deadly sensation, and any creature for miles around would feel goosebumps as it moved its facial bones as it would howl at any moment.
Simultaneously, a yellow silhouette appeared behind Malik, its eyes glowing in a way that looked like they would explode at any moment.
“Dax!”
“Malik!”
The two ignored everything in their surroundings and once again ran at each other, attacking with as much as they had.
The eyes of the golden silhouette, which looked very much like a woman’s body, exploded, and a grandiose yellow bolt of lightning went off toward Dax’s body.
Simultaneously with that, the bestial skeleton strangely opened its mouth as wide as it could, and a thunderous roar broke out, causing the mana in the surroundings to vibrate intensely.
“Oh, shit!”
At that instant, everyone in the Fuller family carriage raised their hands toward their ears, hearing that shrill sound almost unbearably.
This was especially true for the children, who had not yet gone through their awakening and were totally unprotected against it.
“Aaaagh!”
Vicente screamed in pain as he felt blood draining from his ears, but worrying much more about his sisters, who were screaming even louder than he was.
Contrary to what some might think, witnessing a battle of high-level magicians was not a pleasant thing!
As much as one could learn marvelous things by watching powerful people fight, a deadly battle between experts could endanger all those in the vicinity!
The first time seeing magicians fighting for real, Vicente immediately realized this world was truly much more dangerous than Earth.
Not only that but with great power came great responsibility!
Those two didn’t care in the least who was in the vicinity, and now Vice’s entire family was in danger.
“Shit! Please! Please stop!” He tried to shout, but his voice did not even reach those in the carriage.
Meanwhile, the two attacks collided in the skies, with one diverting the other from its main focus.
Lauren looked out the window and saw the light beam from that silhouette’s eyes collide with the vibrations of mana generated by the sound waves of its opponent’s skill and come toward her carriage.
“No!” She shouted as she felt pain in her eyes.
A moment later, the light beam deflected by Dax’s attack almost hit this family’s carriage, melting the side ground where they passed.
“Aaaagh!”
“Andrew! Andrew, we have to escape on foot! If we keep going like this, we’ll all die!” Kate said to her husband, seeing that he was already trying to help Lauren and Nina.
This man was sweating coldly, but he made the difficult decision to try his own luck by running away.
“Let’s go!” He said to his wife, expecting her to go ahead.
When they got out of that carriage, he looked at the three men there and said, using his mana to communicate with them. “One of you lead the way, and the other take Vicente. We’ll escape on foot!”
“OK!”
Quickly the coachman and another man left the carriage and ran ahead, running a few steps ahead of Kate and the rest of the family.
Andrew had his two daughters in his arms, and Vicente was already on one of that General’s shoulders.
While being carried by that man, Vicente looked again into the sky and saw all the pentagrams of those people.
One of them had Red, Orange, Yellow, and Green. The ideal combination for someone at his magic stage in Polaris Realm. But the other one was missing a bit and had only Red, Orange, Yellow, and Yellow.
Anyway, all the pentagrams coalesced around their attacks, raising their intensity to the maximum.
“DIE!”
“That’s the end, DAX!”
The two attacks continued to collide, deflecting some of their power to the surroundings, while little by little, Malik managed to penetrate his rival’s sound barrier.
When that happened, a gigantic explosion appeared in the skies over that area.
BOOOOOOM!
