The Extra's Return

92 Great Barrier

Just as warriors have a rank structure, in this world, magicians also have their own rank structure.

Adjusting the abilities of the magicians, the magician ranks were divided into this:

1st Class to 3rd Class Magician - Beginner.

4th Class to 5th Class Magician - Intermediate Magician.

6th Class to 7th Class Magician - Advanced Magician.

One of the standards used to determine the high or low rank of magicians was how many magic spells the magician could master.

The more magic spells the magicians mastered, the higher their rank would be. The higher their rank, of course they would be more powerful and respected. But to become a high-rank magician was difficult.

When talking about magic spells, magic spells also have their own levels. Magic spells are divided according to level. From levels 1 to 7. Maybe the division was adjusted to the rank of the magician.

The higher the level of the magic spell, the greater the power that the magic spell would produce, but mastering high-level magic spells was also very difficult. That was what often hindered the growth of magicians.

If someone wanted to become a 2nd class magician, then he had to master a 2nd level magic spell after having mastered a 1st level magic spell. One could not master a 3rd level magic spell when he had just become a 1st class magician.

To master a new spell and move up the rank was not easy, so I can understand why the magician wanted to show off what he had mastered.

When I saw his status window earlier, where the magic spell Fire Cyclone level 3 was written there, I became convinced that he was chanting to cast that magic spell.

I could indeed understand when he wanted to show off the magic that he had mastered so hard, but I would not understand him if he was going to actually cast that magic.

'If he really casts level 3 fire cyclone magic which was likely to have a large power output, he must be crazy.'

Was it possible that he didn't realize where we were?

This was still in the center of the city. Although this area was quiet, there were still houses of ordinary people here and there were also many ordinary people's lives that could be affected by the magic he released.

Was it because he was immune to the law that he didn't seem to hesitate when he had been chanting spells using his mouth?

The first fireball magic shot he had done earlier did not produce much damage because it was weak, but it was a different story if the magic that he would shot would produce a larger scale of destruction.

'I won't let him destroy the inn that I've bought.'

If left alone, not only will the inn I bought be destroyed, but this entire area will also be burned to the ground.

Especially if you see that he had a fire element of magic.

It was common to know that most magic spells mastered by a magician would cause extensive damage, regardless of the element.

Because all magic spells have very destructive and wide-ranging effects, rules were made to restrict the use of magic in the city.

The rule was made by the Kingdom of Misonia and was supposed to be implemented by the nobles in all areas of the Kingdom of Misonia. If not, then the punishment could be given. Even if it was the nobles.

That's what should be done.

However, it was obvious what the end result would be. Such laws end up on paper without ever being realized.

The main reason was that all magicians were affiliated with nobles. There was no way the nobles would impose punishment on magicians under their control.

Another reason was that everyone thought that power was the law.

Such rules restricting the use of magic ended up only calming down the common people. It did not prevent the magicians from rioting in the center of the city.

Even if he wiped out the area here, he would still be free from the punishment.

I noticed the extent of the magic circle he had created.

Fwsshhh! Sizzle!

As more and more flames appeared in the magic circle he had created, the more intense the movement of the flames in the magic circle in front of him looked. The sound produced by each movement of the fire was also heard more clearly.

It seemed like he was really going to do it.

The target that he targeted was Jeanne.

Jeanne had been standing still staring at me. Her eyes were so sticky on me. Clearly, she was looking for an opportunity to free Colby and Nina, whose necks I was still holding.

That's why she realized it too late.

Perhaps because she felt the heat approaching her from behind her body, she immediately removed her gaze from me.

Too bad she was too late.

The magician had already finished reciting the magic spell he had been chanting.

".... Fire Cyclone."

As the magician spoke the keywords of the magic spell he had cast, a blaze of fire erupted from the magic circle in front of him.

'Was she going to have time to avoid it?'

The Fire Cyclone spell cast by the magician was very similar to its name, which was similar to a hurricane. Only, the cyclone consisted of a blaze of fire, not just wind.

Slowly but surely, the flames began to swirl in the air forming a huge cyclone.

Swirl! Fwssss!

As the magic got closer to Jeanne, it became bigger and bigger. Like a snake opening its mouth more and more when it was about to eat a frog, the magic also adjusted its expansion rate as if it was ready to eat her alive.

When I saw a huge fire coming as if to devour her body, I thought she would be eaten raw until she was gone.

Perhaps because of the wide scope of the fire cyclone attack, I suddenly made such an assumption.

But that was not the case.

She had not received any burns. Although the area effect of the Fire Cyclone spell was huge, however, I clearly saw that she was still standing and was fine. She had received no damage at all.

There was no need to rub my eyes to convince myself that I wasn't mistaken.

Jeanne's reaction when she realized that she had attacked by the fire cyclone was, she put her hands in front of her face to protect her body, and immediately, she was not hit by the fire cyclone.

Now she held her hands, body, and face in confusion.

Her reaction indicated that she had been shocked.

After the sparkling light from the fire cyclone spell appeared, Jeanne seemed to fall silent as she knew that she was still fine.

It wasn't just her who was surprised, I was surprised too.

In order to overcome my curiosity, I used the Judgement skill as usual. And the result was...

[The target had been using the Great Barrier skill.]

Without her realizing it, it seemed that she was using her newly acquired Great Barrier skill.

No wonder she was still fine.

I suddenly thought about how someone in this world knows what skills they have.

The way a person knows their skills in this world was the same as what Jeanne experienced.

Unlike myself who could know what skills I had using the help of the World System, people in this world tended to have to go through various scenarios on their own in order to know what skills they had acquired.

Apart from Jeanne's surprise at the new skills she had acquired, I marveled more at the effects of the skills she had.

The skill she cast produced a transparent wall similar to glass. The transparent wall stood majestically in front of her. It stretched from end to end. Its diameter was probably around 10 meters.

Amazing result, the barrier successfully prevented the fire cyclone from hitting her.

The barrier not only protected her but also managed to protect my inn. As a result, the children and I managed to survive unharmed.

But the good news didn't last long.

"Kugh!"

Jeanne suddenly dropped her knees to the ground. She half knelt down.

It seemed that maintaining the Great Barrier skill required a lot of energy and Mana.

She seemed to be struggling to maintain the barrier.

I saw that she was stretching her hand forward with all her might.

But she failed to persevere.

Crack!

The sound of something that would be destroyed could be heard.

Sure enough, a crack suddenly appeared in Jeanne's barrier. The crack was small at first, but as time went on, it became bigger and bigger.
