Chapter 290: More Than Just a Sword Master
Chapter 290 Not just a sword master...
Looking at Claire Latorea who had drawn out the magic wand in front of her, Wood understood that this was a test from her grandmother. On the one hand, she wanted to know more about Wood, her grandson.
On the other hand, Claire probably wanted to see if Senis had trained Wood as well as she did.
"Therese, lend her your sword. No matter how good a swordsman is, he can't defeat a magician without a weapon."
Wood had sensed Claire's magic power before and had a general understanding of her level. Coupled with the fact that the other party was an elder, Wood wanted to refuse.
However, when he saw the seriousness on his grandmother Claire's face, and even asked Therese to lend the sword to Wood, he couldn't help but look helpless again.
"Wood, you have to be careful. Even though your mother is old, she was also a member of the Temple Knights when she was young.
Although she is definitely not comparable to her former heyday, as a loyal believer of God Milis, her mother is a water saint level magic user. In addition, she also has a certain degree of swordsmanship. "
After hearing Therese's words, Wood looked at Claire with a slightly surprised expression.
Wood was not surprised that the opponent was a "Water Saint-level" magician. After all, Senis' previous talent as a high-level magician could not have come out of thin air.
However, what surprised Wood was that the young Claire La Torreya was not only a Water Saint level magician, but also had swordsmanship abilities comparable to those of a superior swordsman.
This is the first time since Wood came to this world that he has met someone who has achieved great achievements in both swordsmanship and magic.
Alice and Kirenu may have strong swordsmanship talents, but their magic skills are poor. Even if they were exhausted, they would still be at the level of junior magicians.
Rudy's magic talent is good, but even if he has practiced swordsmanship with Paul since he was a child, and even has the guidance of famous teachers like Kirennu and Ruijerrod, he is still at the level of an intermediate swordsman at most.
"There is no need to worry about hurting me, just use your strongest strength."
The magic wand in Claire's hand is somewhat special. Its length is slightly longer than an ordinary magic wand, and it does not appear to be made of ordinary wood.
Claire held the wand in her hand, it was like a wand and a thin sword.
Claire had specially sent people to collect information about some people in Wood.
Claire is naturally quite satisfied that her grandson actually has strength comparable to that of a "Sword Master".
However, Claire didn't know the specific extent of Wood's strength, so she planned to test it herself.
As for whether Wood, who was attacking with all his strength, would hurt her, Claire was not worried about this.
To put it bluntly, Wood is really at the level of a "Sword Master", and she, Claire, is not a vegetarian.
With water saint level magic skills and the close combat skills of an advanced swordsman, Claire has no fear of fighting any sword master.
"If that's the case, it would be rude. Please be careful, Lady Claire."
For the knight's sword handed over by Therese, Wood did not reach out to take it. Instead, a blue magic circle appeared in his right hand. The next second, a water knife condensed by the rushing water was struck by Wood. Hold it in your hand.
"Wood, you kid, you can actually use magic!"
"The magic was actually used directly without chanting!"
Seeing Wood's exposed hand, Therese and Claire who were present simultaneously exclaimed, but the point of their surprise was different.
For Therese, who is the leader of the Temple Knights, she is even more surprised that Wood already possesses "Sword Master" level skills, but he can also take into account magic!
The eleven or twelve-year-old "Sword Master" has such talent as a swordsman that he can be called a monster, but Wood actually still has free time to practice magic.
As for Claire, because she also has both magic and swordsmanship, she feels that this is not impossible. It is just "magic without chanting". This ability has always been considered exclusive to gods. This grandson, whom he has never met, is actually able to do it!
Although Claire said that Wood could attack with all his strength, would he really do that? That's obviously impossible...
Juggernaut? That's just his level of swordsmanship in this world. If he uses the "Hyakki Sword Style" that Wood is good at, he can definitely compete with the King of Swordsmen.
As for magic level, before challenging the Nine-Headed Dragon, Wood's level was about the level of a "king-level" magician.
But after absorbing most of the magic crystal in Maze Moving, the quality and quantity of Wood's magic power increased dramatically.
Now, his water and fire attribute magic has reached the "Emperor Level" level, and as for other attribute magic, it has indeed reached the "King Level" level.
And whether it is swordsmanship or magic, if Wood uses the power of "Heart of God", the power can be greatly improved.
Wood's grandmother, Claire La Torreya, is very powerful, and she should be considered one of the best players in the entire Holy Kingdom of Milis.
But for Wood now, if he really tried his best, Claire might not be able to get past three rounds in front of Wood!
Looking at Claire who had already started to chant magic, Wood did not continue to sit there and wait for death, but rushed towards her in an instant.
His feet kicked back on the ground, and spider-web-like cracks suddenly appeared on the thick floor tiles. At this moment, Wood's body, relying on this reaction force, shortened the distance between him and Claire in one breath.
"What a fast speed!"
Claire was only halfway through chanting the spell, but she couldn't help but sigh when she saw Wood approaching her.
If it were an ordinary magician, being approached to this distance by a swordsman before releasing magic, most of them would have been defeated.
However, Claire was not an ordinary magician. She had the physical ability of a superior swordsman. Although Wood's speed was fast at this moment, it was not so fast that she could not cope with it.
With a kick of high heels, Claire's body also jumped back to avoid Wood's water knife slash. When Wood's water knife reached the empty space, it even cut off a few strands of Claire's light golden hair.
"Advanced Water Magic: Swimming Shark!"
Claire finished chanting the magic she had prepared while jumping back to avoid Wood's attack.
A blue magic circle as tall as a person unfolded in front of Claire, and then a giant shark with sharp teeth, formed purely by water, swam out of the magic circle and opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, rushing towards Wood.
Because Wood was already very close to Claire, the opponent's magic was almost released at her face, and even a "Sword Saint" level warrior could not hide at this moment.
