Although I had heard before that the 【Thane Gate】 and the 【Simu】 family had signed a contract with 【Blue Moon】, and started manufacturing weapons that combined technology, magic, and formulas, which are the evolved versions of the weapons I acquired earlier.

But I didn't expect the finished products to come out so quickly.

Just as I arrived at the library entrance, I was startled by the weapon in Miren's hand. If Aliyah's dual magic saw is considered small, then the sword-sized magic saw in front of me must be the extra-large version.

One and a half meters... no, maybe it's two meters? It is a large chainsaw with a red color. At the end of the outermost magical saw chain, there is a physical chainsaw, which should automatically convert to physical attacks when magic is depleted.

The entire weapon is built like a greatsword, with only the blade part made of chainsaws.

Moreover, the hilt has added handguards and reinforced armor, presumably to prevent others from disarming her weapon.

It seems that my fighting style of slapping away the opponent's weapon and throwing it out of the arena in the previous battle forced them to add this component, but this will decrease the flexibility when using it.

And her armor is obviously new armor with reinforced thickness. The gaps have increased, seemingly to increase flexibility, but wouldn't this leave the joints without armor coverage exposed?

Is it because I never attacked the joints of the weapon?

Could it be... this entire set of equipment was developed to defeat me?

Too extravagant!

"Yo, Miren, long time no see."

"That's right, and I can sense that you have become even stronger than before."

Unexpectedly, this guy actually replied properly. Although I wanted to say that you have also become stronger, because your level has become 35.

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have let me use this set of equipment to deal with you, right? This is the 【Extermination Set for High-Level Monsters】, which is used to hunt down high-level monsters. And this weapon is the 【Monster Ripper Zero】, it can tear apart the shells of all high-level monsters except for earth elemental monsters. For humans, only heavy knights or paladins' armor can barely withstand it."

"Thank you for the explanation, but you're quite talkative today, not like your usual self."

"Well, because I want you to use all your strength to defeat me, so that I can discover my limits. Although I don't want to say it, all the students in our school can already understand that you are now the strongest person in this academy, because you can defeat those who rely on artifacts without borrowing any. We are far behind in this aspect."

"In that case, I won't be able to use many things~"

Saying this, I directly inserted 【Blood Moon】 and 【Ghost Breaker】 into the ground.

"For example, these weapons."

"...No, I didn't say you can't use them. After all, my equipment is already the strongest in our Knight Order, so... let's give it our all!"

"And then you'll tell me my weaknesses?"

"Something like that."

"Okay, but I need to point out two things. First, I'm still not the strongest in the academy. Many strong individuals haven't shown themselves yet. Second, watch out for your joints!"

"Thanks for the advice. Captain of the Royal Knight Order's Annihilation Squad, 【Vanquisher】, Miren·Aurensis, here to learn!"

"the Ais Empire's National Mage, Fir·Lin, accepting the challenge!"

With a wave of my hand, I collected the two weapons from the ground, then took a step back and entered stealth mode.

"Invisibility?"

Miren's expression changed suddenly. Indeed, she had recorded all of my previous battles with people, but there were only records of me using ice magic and a sword. The data for "Blood Moon" and "Ghost Breaker" were not used under my current identity, so there were naturally no records of them.

Moreover...

Using invisibility was definitely my first time. This skill was rarely learned by anyone other than dual-sword masters, assassins, and thieves. It wasn't scientifically practical for mages to use magic because they needed to chant while using magic, and the chanting would gather magical elements. In a one-on-one battle, unless the opponent was extremely weak, how could they not feel the energy gathering?

Unfortunately... this wouldn't pose any trouble for me.

Because I don't need to chant!

"Blossom, Arcane · Ice Flower · Plural."

A blue magic circle lit up at Miren's feet, but she didn't pause for a moment and charged straight ahead. The ice flowers exploded right at their previous position! The ice thorns aimed directly for her back!

"Release Ice Magic Form!"

Smoke billowed from Miren's armor, and a red phoenix emblem appeared on the outer layer of her armor. A layer of red twilight covered her entire armor, causing the ice thorns to melt before they even came close!

"No way..."

Ice flowers bloomed directly beside her, but they melted as soon as they appeared. In just a few seconds, the ground was left with only water.

This fighting power... or rather, this can't even be called fighting power anymore. What kind of bug-like armor is this?

"Ice Totem · Plural!"

Five pillars thrust towards Miren, but before they could reach her, the ice pillars turned into water and splashed onto her armor, turning into white steam.

Miren turned to face me, raising her magic saw high in her hand. Her body transformed into a red shadow and charged towards me!

"Ultimate · Hell Chain Song!"

With her slash, black-lighted red sword auras shot up from the ground, resembling black fountains. Although I didn't know what kind of attack it was, my instinct told me that if I were to touch that thing, it would definitely not feel good!

And now, my advantage lies in "All-knowing Eye" and the level gap between Miren and me. It allowed me to perceive that her speed was noticeably slower than it should be.

Relative speed!

Dash!

I charged directly to the right, avoiding Miren's attack range.

However, her attacks clearly couldn't be stopped. She struck a total of eight times before stopping... leaving behind a whole trail of black imprints on the floor, with some places even cracking.

Extreme heat? Or something else?

Unfortunately, I don't have the analytical ability of Ms. Mary or Dale. I can't even begin to analyze anything.

And I can't go all out either. It's already insane enough that I can simultaneously use ice magic, healing magic, and sword techniques. If I were to use other element magic or skills, I think many people in the academy would have heart attacks and never love again.

"Oh, you actually managed to dodge that move!"

After saying that, she accelerated again and chased after me, the magic saw in her hand emitting a roaring sound!

My goodness, this is like a chainsaw maniac!

Dodging the first slash with a backward roll, she swung her large sword backward and then brought it down from above.

I didn't dare to compare the durability of my "Ghost Breaker" with hers. After all, Bai Yueguang's weapon shattered right in front of me, and my staff also broke during the battle. This showed that weapons were not invincible, and going head-to-head with her would surely lead to death.

"Ultimate Ice Imperial Court!"

At the same time, I summoned the "Ice Knight Armor". After all, she was a fire user and even had an electric saw effect...

Just as I finished speaking, her giant sword smashed into my ice wall! A burst of white steam emitted, and then...

Boom!

The entire ice wall was actually cut open!

"Charge!"

I rushed forward, but I noticed my HP bar decreasing slightly. I looked down at my chest, and the "Ice Knight Armor" was cut open and blood flowed out from the middle.

If I went a little further... I would be disemboweled!

"Hey! You're too ruthless!"

"Don't worry, if you're near death, the battle enchantment will automatically restrict me!"

This guy was still enjoying himself. Really, I couldn't hold back any longer without using my true abilities.

So, I reached into my pocket, feeling for the switch, and smiled faintly.

"Good luck."
