People Are In The Magical World, There Is No Magic Power

The anti-magic power in his body flowed slowly. It was not as intense as when he was in the normal black state, but it had indeed greatly strengthened his body.

Rowan liked to call it the "Pseudo Black Form". Ever since he entered the Pseudo Black Form during the battle with Devil, Rowan had been practicing this technique.

It was naturally difficult to enter the normal black state. Even after years of meditation, he had only succeeded twice under the threat of death.

Then, what about the next best thing?

The answer was "half."

After practicing for a month, Rowan now had a 50% chance of entering the pseudo black state.

From the moment he entered the passage, entered the palace, and faced Julia, Rowan had been trying to enter the pseudo black state. He even allowed Julia to stall for time so that he could become stronger. However, it was obvious that he had failed that time.

By guiding the anti-magic power to flow slowly in his body, he could enter the pseudo black state after one cycle and maintain the flow. Rowan was still not familiar with maintaining the flow in the end. The success rate was only 50%.

If he suddenly accelerated and forcefully circulated the flow in the middle, he could also enter the pseudo black state. However, if he did not control the flow well, it would quickly collapse. He would exit the state in a few seconds, just like when Rowan's right eye turned red for a moment when he tried to break out of the mercury encirclement when his arm was chopped off.

Now, under the protection of the light barrier, Rowan had successfully completed the circulation and entered the complete pseudo black state.

"Phew."

Slowly exhaling a breath of hot air, Rowan stared at Julia who was on the other side of the mercury wave that was gradually gathering.

For some reason, Julia felt a little scared when she was stared at by the scarlet eye.

The time was 8 minutes and 32 seconds. This was the longest time Rowan could maintain the pseudo black state in his practice. It was the result of the test when he was not doing anything.

If he were to exercise vigorously, the highest time he could maintain the pseudo black state was 2 minutes and 14 seconds.

Therefore, he had to end the battle quickly!

Rowan's footsteps went from slow to fast. He ran towards Julia as fast as the wind!

"So fast!"

Julia's pupils contracted.

What happened?

His speed increased by a lot!

"No, even if that's the case, don't even think about getting close!"

Julia waved her hands, and a sky full of mercury blades and mercury waves surged towards Rowan.

The pseudo-black state gave Rowan a powerful dynamic vision. The mercury that filled the sky looked so slow in Rowan's eyes. Although it was not as slow as a tortoise, it was almost the same as a person walking normally.

It was very difficult to block all the mercury with just a slash while sprinting forward.

If Rowan still had both of his hands, he could try using the pseudo-black status. However, Rowan only had one hand now.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to expand the anti-magic sword's attack area so that it could eliminate even more mercury.

Well, the answer was simple.

For example, when a person wielding a gun was faced with dozens of arrows, he would definitely not think of poking each arrow away. Instead, he would …

The hand holding the iron chain suddenly exerted force. His strong and powerful fingers quickly spun the iron chain, bringing along Broken Magic and Crippled at both ends to rotate.

Today, he was going to cosplay as a humongous pillar!

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding …!!"

The two anti-magic swords that had spun into a huge windmill continuously endured the impact of the mercury shadows. Rowan also constantly changed the position of his right arm, allowing the "windmill" to revolve around him.

One moment he was on the right, the next he was on the left. He took into account the front, back, and top, blocking all the mercury that came from all directions. This allowed Rowan's speed to not decrease by much.

"What!"

Julia did not expect such a maneuver.

You can block my mercury waves with just one hand?!

"Then why don't you try to block this!"

The ground under Rowan's feet suddenly exploded. The mercury that was previously hidden underground turned into countless sharp blades and attacked from below.

However, it was useless. Rowan raised his left leg and exerted force with a standard step.

"Boom —!!!"

The entire palace shook as if there was an earthquake!

The terrifying force caused all the mercury to explode, creating a thunderous roar!

With Rowan as the center, the hard ground within a ten-meter radius sank by half a meter. Other than a portion of the mercury that was pushed out by the force, the rest of the mercury was pressed into a solid state by the terrifying force!

"How can this be …"

Julia subconsciously took a step back. She immediately reacted and realized her own actions.

'I … I took a step back?

I'm afraid?

I'm afraid of my junior?

I, who could be said to be the strongest fourth-tier, is afraid of someone who can't use magic?!

Why?!!!

'Shouldn't I be able to crush him easily?!

Why am I afraid?!

Why am I retreating?!

Why can't I defeat him?!!! '

Julia's face gradually became distorted as she realized the fear in her heart.

'How can I be afraid of you?!!!'

Julia shouted furiously in her heart. Her body turned into mercury and quickly flowed toward Rowan.

"Since you want to come, then come!"

Rowan, who was in his windmill form, could only release spinning slashes. The cross-section of his attacks was extremely small. It was easy for him to dodge them after his elemental transformation.

Rowan blocked another wave of mercury. Some of the mercury that was not touched by the anti-magic swords suddenly turned into Julia's upper body. Her lower body was still connected to the mercury.

Julia smiled maliciously. She held a sword made of mercury in each hand and stabbed it toward Rowan.

Rowan bent his body to the right and dodged the sneak attack. He stared at the smiling Julia and swung the spinning wheel in his right hand upwards.

"Hmm?"

With a sense of danger sharper than a beast, Rowan looked at the two swords that he dodged.

The Mercury Swords were no longer as smooth as before. Countless spikes protruded from the swords.

Almost instantly, Rowan's left foot slipped and his whole body slid towards Julia's left side. His right arm swung diagonally towards Julia.

"Crash — —"

His elemental body dodged the anti-magic blade in advance.

At the same time, the Mercury Swords turned into countless spikes and shot towards Rowan.

Rowan, who managed to dodge in time, was scratched on the left side of his body. Some of the spikes even pierced through his body.

It was okay, it was not a fatal wound and it would not affect his body's movements too much.

Rowan's movements did not stop because of this. After swinging his arm diagonally upwards, he continued to slide with the force of his body. With his right foot as the axis, he quickly turned half a circle and swept the heel of his left foot towards Julia.

Julia turned into mercury and scattered in all directions.

"Empty — —!!!"

The air exploded. The strong force caused the surrounding mercury to be emptied for two to three seconds.

Rowan put down his foot and quickly scanned his surroundings while blocking the mercury that was coming towards him again.

That was how it was when one did not know magic. One could only rely on the naked eye to distinguish.

Now that Julia had turned into elemental and mixed with the mercury created by magic, Rowan could not distinguish them at all.

"Is it possible to perform micro-maneuvers at a close distance …"

Rowan quickly thought about the Mercury Swords that exploded into countless spikes after his failed sneak attack.

If the opponent could perform micro-maneuvers at a distance, Rowan, who only had one hand, would have lost long ago.

"Crash — —"

The sound of mercury came from behind. Rowan swung his hand backwards.

"Hello, junior … … and then die!!!"

Julia once again turned into elemental to dodge the attack. Her face was filled with killing intent and the Mercury Swords in her hands slashed down without hesitation.

Rowan dodged to the side. His eyes were fixed on Julia while he was on guard against the Mercury Swords.

As expected, spikes appeared on the Mercury Swords and were about to explode.

Rowan withdrew his right arm in time and swung it towards Julia's body and the Mercury Twin Swords.

From the looks of it, she had to be in direct contact with Mercury to be able to manipulate it.

Rowan made up his mind.

"Hey, looks like you've already discovered my trick …"

Julia, who had been split into several pieces, curled her lips in displeasure and turned into mercury that mixed into the tide.

Rowan suddenly sensed something and looked up.

In the sky, huge pieces of building debris were suspended in the air by mercury.

These were all captured by Julia when she released Quicksilver outside the palace.

Rowan's "Tyrannical Calamity" had overturned the entire palace except for the hall on the first floor. Now, there was no need to use the metal door or the secret passage to enter and exit the palace.

"You can't possibly eliminate physical attacks, right?"

Julia, who had appeared in the distance, swung her arm down with a crazed expression.

Pieces of large building debris were thrown down by Quicksilver, smashing towards Rowan. Quicksilver on the ground also launched an attack.

"Hmph!"

Rowan snorted coldly and charged toward Julia, who had distanced herself from him, without any fear. He kept moving to avoid the physical attacks that were falling from the sky.

The ground trembled as the building debris fell like pearls.

Rowan, who was running, swung his right arm wildly. Under the violent force, any building debris or mercury that couldn't be dodged had no way of getting close to him. The mercury on the ground opened a path for him.

"Still not dead?!"

Julia's face was twisted and ferocious.

Why is he so difficult to deal with?!

"Bang!"

A subtle and crisp sound of metal breaking was heard. It was covered by the sound of the mercury waves and only Rowan, who was closest to it, heard it.

Rowan glanced at the chain in his hand.

Part of it had already cracked.

The chain projected by Belaria could indeed withstand his power, but it could only withstand his power in his normal state and not in his pseudo-black state.

At the same time, his scarlet right eye flashed black for a moment. Rowan's swinging movement slowed down for a moment.

When Rowan unleashed his full power, the pseudo-black state couldn't last much longer.

He had to end it as soon as possible!

Then …

Rowan's face revealed a crazed and ruthless expression.

He closed the distance between him and Julia again.

"Tsk, how annoying!"

Julia's body turned into flowing mercury and dodged Rowan's spinning slash. She also controlled many mercury blades to shoot at close range.

"Puchi!"

n

The mercury blades pierced through Rowan's body and blood splattered everywhere.

"You actually …"

Julia, whose abdomen was cut open by the spinning slash, looked at Rowan in confusion and anger.

Rowan wasn't the only one who was injured when the blades pierced through his flesh!
