Magic System in a Parallel World
chapter-174-30041322

'Holy fuck… I managed to survive… That crazy bitch. Didn't she want me? Does she not care if I am dead or alive?' Leo felt a sense of relief wash over him when he survived the fall.

However, he didn't try to leave the crater and decided to remain in the cloud of dust, as his body was currently engulfed in golden flames because of the Divine Flame Fortification.

'If I leave now, everyone will see my flames and realize that I can use Tier 7 magic, and Headmistress Eve will question where I learned this spell.'

Fortunately for him, Divine Flame Fortification lasted only half a minute.

Meanwhile, the audience were making bets with each other.

"I bet you a thousand that he's alive!"

"Then I will bet you a thousand that he's dead!"

"Nobody can survive that kind of fall even with the magic protecting them!"

"Right? He was even being pressured by Lia Scarlet's gravity magic. He'd have to be made of steel to survive that kind of fall."

"Fuck… Did he really die?" Kevin tapped the floor with his foot in an anxious manner when Leo didn't come back out of the crater.

"Leo…" Valery muttered in a weak voice, her gaze filled with worry.

Eve had a deep frown on her face. Despite her confidence in Leo, she couldn't help but worry about what had just happened.

'I should've taught him some more defensive spells.' She regretted not teaching Leo more spells, but it was too late at this point.

Fifteen seconds after Leo fell back down, the medical team approached the stage and prepared to heal Leo if he was still alive.

After another fifteen seconds, Thalia spoke into her microphone, "Medics! Go check on him!"

The medics rushed onto the stage after hearing Thalia's words.

However, right as they reached the steps, Leo's voice resounded, "Calm down. I am not dead yet."

A gust of wind suddenly swept the stage as Leo used mana blast to blast away the dust, revealing his figure that looked completely fine besides a few scratches.

The medics and Thalia were baffled to see Leo in such good condition after suffering that kind of attack.

If they were in his shoes, they would have a broken limb or two at the very least.

"Holy fuck! He's actually alive!"

"And he doesn't seem to be hurt!"

"Is he even human?!"

The audience were once again shocked by the outcome.

"A-Are you sure you're fine?" The person leading the medics asked Leo just to be sure.

"Yes, I am fine." Leo nodded.

He turned to look at Lia and continued, "That was quite harsh of you. I really thought I was going to die there."

"But you didn't." Lia calmly said.

"I'm just saying what if I had actually died? If I hadn't used my trump card, I would've definitely died there."

"But you didn't die." She repeated, still with a nonchalant look on her face.

"Forget it. Let's continue our match now, shall we?"

Hearing his words, Lia nodded her head, and she began casting her spell.

However, she suddenly halted her movements when a large shadow suddenly entered her view.

Lia and the audience tilted their heads and looked at the sky, their heads moving simultaneously.

"T-That's…"

The audiences' eyes and mouth were wide open from shock when they saw a massive rock the size of a building that was engulfed in flames falling from the sky.

"That's…" Helia stared at the meteor in the sky with a dazed look on her face.

"Tier 6 magic, Meteor…?" John muttered in a low voice.

"Impossible!" The representatives from the Celestial Families stood up from shock, especially the Scarlet Family.

'Don't blame me for this, Lia.' Leo said inwardly.

During the thirty seconds that he hid within the crater, he didn't just sit there doing nothing, and he used that time to cast and overcharge Meteor, his Tier 6 spell.

Since everybody was occupied with the stage and Leo's condition, nobody there noticed the magic circle in the sky until it was too late and the Meteor was already falling down.

Lia gritted her teeth and quickly began casting her spell.

"Gravity Manipulation!"

"Reverse Gravity Well!"

She tried to slow down the Meteor by manipulating the gravity around the Meteor, and while she succeeded, it had cost her a lot of mana.

Furthermore, while it had slowed down, the Meteor was actually still falling and still a threat.

Without any other options left, Lia decided what little mana she had left to cast her final spell.

A large magic circle suddenly appeared around the Meteor, and to everyone's surprise, it had seven rings.

"T-Tier 7 magic?!"

This was Lia's first time using her Tier 7 magic in public, so this was news to everyone there.

Leo was curious about her Tier 7 magic, so he purposefully did not try to interrupt her even though he could've defeated her at that moment when she was distracted.

A few moments later, right as the Meteor was about to smash into the stage, Lia spoke in a cold voice, "Forces of Destruction!"

Cracks suddenly began appearing on the Meteor, and three seconds later, the whole rock shattered into tens of thousands of tiny fragments.

Lia fell to her knees afterward from experiencing mana fatigue.

"I'm impressed. You can actually use Tier 7 magic." Leo approached her slowly and nonchalantly.

Now that Lia had no mana, she was no longer a threat to him, and he didn't need to worry about any retaliation.

The whole stadium became dead silent from anticipation.

Is this the end? Will Lia Scarlet actually lose to Leo Magnus, who started training magic only a month ago? Is this the birth of a legend?

"Just like how you gave your opponents a chance to surrender, I will give you a chance to surrender." Leo said after stopping right in front of her.

"You have three seconds to surrender before I toss you out of the stage myself."
