A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 1862: Fire!

The square was in complete silence when the competition started.

The audience’s gaze was fixed on the giant screen as they watched the two semifinal matches between the powerful opponents.

Jeremy raised his magic wand up, and a minute amount of lightning began to converge at the tip of the wand. Then, he pointed at where Amy was standing.

Crack!

With a crash of thunder, a silver flash of lightning appeared above Amy, and struck towards her.

“It’s really lightning!” Amy looked above her as she stepped to her side.

The lightning struck the ground where she had been standing earlier, and left a blackened crater as big as a bowl on the tough rock surface.

“She actually evaded it so easily!”

“Lightning magic is the fastest magic, and she actually evaded it by walking away? Maybe she is just lucky?”

“That is not luck. If I am not wrong, she is still using close combat magic. Her reaction and speed are so fast that they allowed her to leave the range of the lightning in an extremely short time.”

Jeremy’s first attack had failed, and the atmosphere began to get heated.

“Huh?” A hint of surprise also appeared on Jeremy’s face. Although the lightning strike was just a basic spell, its high speed made it a favorite of the lightning magic casters.

It was very difficult for people who had no experience with lightning magic to predict and evade it. They could force themselves to take it head-on, or use magic to counteract it. However, Amy actually evaded the lightning strike. This was a method that only a knight would use.

However, that didn’t affect Jeremy’s actions at all. He pointed his wand, and another bolt of lightning struck down.

However, Amy used a side step to evade the lightning strike again.

Thunder kept sounding in the arena, but Amy kept using her secret techniques of skipping sideways, and moved around within a small range. She actually evaded all the lightning bolts, and none of them stuck her.

“Hmm? I don’t think I am fast enough. I am not as fast as Ah Zi.” Amy blinked before she grasped her magic caster’s staff, and stared at Jeremy. She smiled, revealing her neat and white teeth. “In this case, it’s my turn now.”

Jeremy felt as if he was being watched by a cheetah, and a hint of wariness rose in his heart. He wasn’t angry and regretful that the lightning bolts didn’t strike Amy. He looked at Amy, who transformed into a faint red shadow and dashed towards him, with narrowed eyes. He quickly chanted, and pointed straight ahead.

Sizzle!

An electric current sounded, and a ringed electric network appeared in front of Jeremy. The silver lightning crisscrossed into a net, and surrounded him within it.

Amy’s forward-dashing figure suddenly halted in front of the electrical net. The tip of her magic caster’s staff gave out a red light, and then she smashed it down onto that electrical net.

Boom!

Rutilant light exploded where the magic caster’s staff touched the electrical net.

Between the sparks and flickering, Amy stumbled a few steps backwards. The magic caster’s staff in her hands was pushed back, and she almost dropped it.

The audience, who was expecting Amy to perform another miraculous strike, broke into a commotion. Amy’s irresistible close combat magic had finally met the electrical net that she couldn’t bulldoze through.

A smile appeared on Richard’s face too. He nodded at Jeremy with satisfaction. This young magic caster was not bad. He could be one of the few lightning magic instructors in the Magus Tower if he managed to break through to the 8th-tier.

Krassu still looked as calm as ever. He didn’t think that Amy was going to lose.

“It’s a little numb.” Amy shook her right that was a little red as she looked at that electrical net that was surrounding Jeremy. It was tougher than she expected and stronger than those previous magic casters’ defensive means.

“I evade!”

Amy moved to her side.

Boom!

A loud explosion occurred above Amy’s head, and a lightning ball the size of a human head exploded suddenly. It transformed into bolts of lightning, and fell down on her, covering a range of 10 meters.

“Ice shield!”

Amy raised her magic caster’s staff above her head, and a thick ice shield appeared above her head.

The lightning landed on the ice shield like raindrops, smashing out craters on it.

In the midst of the thunder clapping, that little figure clenched her teeth while she propped up her magic caster’s staff. She made the audience feel sorry for her.

Everyone held their breath as they secretly prayed that Amy could pull through this magic attack.

However, the lightning strikes were the tip-top existence among the intermediate magic spells. How could a mere ice shield resist Jeremy’s full-powered attack?

The ice shield shattered into ice shards after being struck by a bolt of lightning. The remaining lightning bolts struck towards Amy.

Her little figure looked especially helpless.

The hard power difference between an intermediate magic caster and an advanced magic caster was completely revealed after speed couldn’t make up for it.

However, Amy, who was holding her magic caster’s staff, looked up at the lightning bolts with a gleam in her eyes.

The judge at the edge of the arena sighed softly. The result of the match was clear. He took one step forward as he prepared to end this duel.

“She hasn’t admitted defeat yet.” Krassu’s voice appeared, and the judge instinctively halted his footsteps.

“No!”

Many members of the audience instinctively closed their eyes.

“This!” Jeremy was shocked too, and instinctively wanted to step forward to stop it.

He didn’t expect Amy not to evade and the judge not to terminate the duel. Lightning strike was the most destructive magic among the intermediate magic spells. Even a mid-tier knight would be injured if he tried to resist it, let alone a little girl.

The magic that had been released naturally wasn’t under his control anymore.

The five bolts of lightning landed on Amy under everyone’s watchful gaze.

The anticipated scene of destruction didn’t appear. The lightning bolts seemed to be absorbed by Amy after they landed on her and pierced three holes in the cape.

There seemed to be a hint of understanding in Amy’s bright eyes. A smile blossomed on that adorable face.

A powerful aura emanated from her, making her look more awe-inspiring.

“She actually broke through the 7th-tier!”

Brent suddenly stood up in disbelief.

“Sh-she actually became an advanced magic caster after being struck by five lightning bolts?”

“Advancing in the middle of a duel?! This is simply against the usual rules!!!”

The audience, who had thought that Amy was already destined to lose, couldn’t believe their eyes.

The judge heaved a breath of relief. He almost couldn’t get through his shock.

Jeremy was equally stunned when he looked at the perfectly unharmed Amy.

When did the lightning strikes become so weak? Also, they even had the effect of helping people advance?

If one could really advance after being struck by the lightning, he really wanted to strike himself once to try it out too.

“Thank you, Big Brother. I understood Master’s words after you struck me with the lightning.” Amy looked at Jeremy smilingly.

Jeremy didn’t want to reply. He tossed out three more lightning strikes at Amy.

However, Amy already vanished from where she was standing as soon as the lightning ball appeared this time. She instantly reappeared in a corner of the arena tens of meters away. Frost formed on the ground when her feet touched it.

“Ice Escape!” Jeremy narrowed his eyes. He didn’t expect that she could already grasp the high-level ice escape methods the moment when she advanced.

“Master Urien said everything is under my control within the domain.” Amy waved as she mumbled. An Italian cannon that was completely made of ice appeared in front of her.Follow current s on Noᴠelꜰire

“Wow. I can really do that!” Amy lit up her eyes before she released a bunch of ice and fire lotus flowers from her magic caster’s staff, and stuffed them into the cannon. Then, she mumbled to herself, “Since I can’t smash open the electrical net, I will try firing a cannon at it.”

Dozens of ice and fire lotuses were stuffed into the cannon. Amy poked the narrow end of her magic caster’s staff into the cannon to pack them tightly before aiming the cannon at Jeremy, who was preparing to release advanced magic spells.

“Fire!”
