Chapter 708 Is Someone Fighting in Here?
Amy had climbed three levels in five seconds, and everyone was completely flabbergasted.
All of the magic casters who were preparing to leave immediately faltered in their footsteps as they stared at the number above Amy’s door, unable to believe their own eyes.
It was almost impossible even for a 7th-tier magic caster to pass three levels in five seconds, but a four-year-old little girl had achieved this next-to-impossible feat!
She had passed the second level in one second and the third level in three seconds, so there was no way that it would’ve taken her 61 seconds to pass the first level. That could only mean that she had given Kola 60-second head start! That was a scathing insult!
“H-how could this be?!” Richard’s face immediately paled upon seeing this. He had thought that the contest had already been decided, only for such an extraordinary turn of events to unfold. If Krassu’s disciple could keep up this speed, then there was no way that Kola would be able to beat her.
Meanwhile, Kola was still on the fourth floor, and all of the magic casters in Richard’s faction were getting very nervous. If that little girl really did manage to beat Kola after giving him a 60-second head start, then that would be extremely humiliating.
A short and portly magic caster chuckled coldly as he said, “The first three levels are too easy, but she won’t be able to play any tricks on the fourth level. Without mastering powerful intermediate spells, there’s no way that she would be able to beat the guardian magic beast on that level. Kola will be sure to emerge victorious.”
All of the magic casters nodded in agreement. This man was right; the trial on the third level examined one’s mastery over intermediate spells, and only those who were proficient in intermediate spells could quickly defeat the manifestation magic beast on that level.
“She passed the fourth level at 70 seconds! She only used five seconds to pass the fourth level!”
As soon as the fat magic caster finished his sentence, the number above Amy’s door turned into a five.
The bright red five was like a slap to the face for that intermediate magic caster. His cheeks immediately became flushed with humiliation, and he lowered his head into his chest, wishing that the ground would swallow him up.
“This is beyond extraordinary! She’s a freak! A freak, I tell you!”
“Even though she gave Kola a 60-second head start, I have a feeling she’s going to set a new record for the fastest to pass the fifth level!”
“Is melee magic really this powerful? In that case, why won’t the Magus Tower teach us melee magic? I really want to learn it!”
None of the magic casters present could remain calm any longer. They were the cream of the crop among all of the magic casters in the Roth Empire, but all of them were suddenly struck by a crushing sense of inferiority.
As expected of my prized disciple; she’s a spitting image of my younger self! Krassu stroked his beard with a beaming smile on his face.
That’s my daughter alright. Mag also wore an elated expression on his face. He was feeling very satisfied with the sight of the bewildered expressions on the faces of the magic casters around him, even more so than if he were to receive a direct compliment.
Amy had passed four levels in merely 10 seconds, while Kola continued to grind away on the fourth floor.
He was on track to break the record that he had set not long ago, but that record pace was more like a snail’s pace in the face of Amy.
“Will she be able to pass the fifth level?”
“I feel like that’s already a given. I’m just interested in seeing how many seconds she would take to pass the fifth level; I have a feeling it’s a record that’s never going to be broken.”
Everyone was looking at Amy’s door with anticipation and curiosity on their faces.
The short and fat magic caster raised his head again, seemingly having recovered some confidence as he predicted, “Only a magic caster who had mastered manifestation magic and ability endowment can pass the fifth level. She only just progressed to the 4th-tier a month ago, so there’s no way she could’ve mastered those types of magic already!”
On the fifth floor, within a cavernous dessert space, Amy was holding her staff, which was several times taller than herself, as she looked into the distance with a thoughtful look on her face. Her gaze was aimed directly at a massive sabertooth tiger that was close to five meters in length and over two meters tall. After a brief moment of contemplation, she shook her head, and murmured to herself, “No, I can’t use only magic taught to me by Master Krassu. If I do that, Master Urien will be sad.”
“Roar!”
The massive sabertooth tiger glowered at Amy with a pair of red eyes as it let loose a thunderous roar of rage. It dug its four paws into the ground before rushing directly toward Amy, sweeping up four sandstorms in its wake.
The staff in Amy’s hand transformed into a wand as she waved it toward the massive tiger in an unhurried manner. As she did so, a serious expression appeared on her little face, and she said, “Big-teeth tiger, you have to make sure to be good. Otherwise, a fat cat will fall from the sky and squash you.”
However, the huge sabertooth tiger clearly didn’t understand what Amy was saying. It accelerated even further, and aside from the four sandstorms it had whipped up, there were also yellow blades of wind appearing beneath its paws. It seemed as if it would be able to easily crush a person under one of its massive powerful paws, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached a distance of less than 10 meters away from Amy. At such close proximity, Amy could even clearly see the saliva hanging from its long and menacing saber teeth.
Right at this moment, a gargantuan shadow suddenly appeared over the sabertooth tight.
The massive tiger looked up, only to discover an astonishingly huge orange backside.
“Boom!”
A massive ball-shaped orange kitten over five meters in radius came crashing down from above, instantly crushing the oncoming sabertooth tiger. The four sandstorms it had whipped up were also squashed as if they were nothing more than tiny flies.
“I told you to be good, didn’t I? See what you made me do?” Amy heaved a faint sigh as her wind fire wheels flashed, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed out of the desert space through the opening that had appeared up ahead.
The entire Magus Tower tremored slightly.
“What’s going on?”
The magic casters on the first floor were slightly concerned as they felt the tremors run through the entirety of the Magus Tower.
“It must be Kola! He must be about to pass the fourth level!” The short and fat magic caster seemed to be very confident in his judgment.
“Kola has passed the fourth stage at 80 seconds!”
All of the magic casters were elated upon seeing this. Not only was this a bet between Richard and Krassu, the honor of the entire Magus Tower was on the line. Furthermore, this was also a clash between long-range and melee magic, so this really was an extremely important contest.
Kola had made it to the final level, so there was hope for him to attain victory. After all, he had far more experience in these trials than Amy did.
However, almost at the exact same moment, an even louder announcement rang out. “Amy has passed the fifth level at 80 seconds!”
The entire first floor of the Magus Tower fell completely silent. Everyone was shocked beyond belief by what they were seeing.
Within the cavernous space of the fifth floor, Kola looked at the magic beast up ahead with an excited expression as he murmured to himself, “It’s only been 80 seconds, and I should be able to defeat this 5th-tier manifestation magic beast within a minute. In that case, I’d be breaking my own record! When that time comes, that little brat will most likely still be struggling on the second or third floor.”
Amy emerged from the trial space on the fifth floor and appeared in a long corridor. There was a series of closed doors lining the sides of the corridor.
“Where’s the exit?” Amy was looking around for the way out when she suddenly heard the sound of something being broken in one of the nearby rooms, followed by a burst of anguished howling.
“Is someone fighting in here?” Amy’s eyes lit up as she gently pushed open the door.
