Chapter 13 Night When Rising Up (2)
Rinoa nodded, her eyes filled with hope but shrouded in tension. She entrusted all her hopes to Hernandez, the figure who had now become her pillar in this critical situation. Now, she just had to hold herself together and fight against the effects of the paralysis paradox, which was slowly gnawing away at her strength, while also trying to save those around her. Ultimately, she knew that in time, the impact would strike her, and when that moment came, all her dreams would shatter in an instant, casting a deep sense of despair like a dark shadow enveloping her heart.
"Hey! Still planning to play again?" taunted the cloaked man, his voice dripping with mockery, as if he were ridiculing the courage that remained.
"There's still round 2," Hernandez replied, his gaze sharp as he looked at his opponent, ready to face the challenge ahead.
"It's pointless, your attack won't work on me," sneered the cloaked man, a cynical smile spreading across his face, confidence evident in every movement.
"Clearly, it won't work. You are aware of the weaknesses of the Rockwell family. It's obvious you're not an ordinary adversary. I must be cautious around you; one wrong step, and I could die. However, I still do not believe that besides the Rockwell family, anyone else is capable of using Magnetische Streu, " Hernandez said seriously, conveying the tension that enveloped their fight.
"Hehehehe... praising the enemy leads to doom," said the cloaked man with a patient smile, his eyes glinting with hidden intent, as if suggesting that there was more at stake than just the battle implied in his words.
Magnetische Streu is a form of magic that rightfully belongs to the Rockwell family, a revered and feared legacy in the world of sorcery. It is an extraordinary spell capable of altering the poles of the magnetic field around the user's body at will. Its strategic purpose is clear: to thwart close-range attacks from enemies, including dangerous weapons like swords. When this magic is invoked, it creates the illusion of an invisible shield, providing protection by repelling incoming attacks. By shifting the poles, the caster aligns with the attacker's polarity, causing similar poles to repel, and deflecting any strikes, regardless of the opponent's strength. This power represents the ultimate defense in close combat, capable of unsettling the resolve and strategies of any attacker. A concrete example of this magic in practice reveals how a skilled defender can effectively utilize this technique in battle to safeguard themselves from incoming assaults while also protecting those around them.
"I do enjoy giving compliments; it's truly an honor," Hernandez said with a blazing sense of confidence. "However, now it's the real fight. Are you confident enough to defeat me? I will be using phase 2 paramagnetic."
"Eh! That's frightening," replied the cloaked man, his voice trembling with anxiety.
Once again, Hernandez launched his attack.
Dash! With incredible speed, Hernandez charged at the cloaked man.
