Laiern

Divine Heavenly Might Magic, the ultimate magic inherited from the mythological era.

An epic-level enhanced version of the Gaze-Binding Magic.

A powerful area-of-effect skill that can take on thousands of enemies single-handedly, requiring no incantation, can be activated with just a glance.

Wherever the gaze falls, it can seal the flow of magic power in all enemies, bind their bodies, and control their movements.

Even more terrifying is that the Divine Heavenly Might Magic doesn't require the gaze to cover the enemy's entire body; just a slight touch is enough to bind all of them, no matter how far away. Its power is immense and unparalleled.

Of course, even Divine Heavenly Might Magic has its weaknesses.

If the enemy's magic power exceeds that of the caster, there is a certain probability that the skill will not take effect.

If the enemy's magic power far surpasses that of the spellcaster, exceeding it by several times, then the magic will be completely ineffective.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the amount of magic power; you need to be strong yourself to succeed.

"This is a powerful spell. When you get back, make sure Dugu Qing practices it diligently and masters it as soon as possible."

A light smile spread across Serie's face. The magic she had painstakingly researched had found a master with exceptional talent, and it was about to display its power on the battlefield against demons, which truly delighted her.

It feels like following a comic book; it's something to look forward to.

"I see."

Frieren turned and left, exiting the main hall and giving the Divine Heavenly Might Magic to Dugu Qing.

"This magic... I can't control it if I'm stronger than me, so I can only bully those weaker than me."

Dugu Qing glanced at the magic description and felt it was somewhat useless.

He possesses the Overlord's Power; when he encounters an enemy, he can simply slap them across the face.

The Divine Might of Gods is no match for the magic of cleansing the skin! This is a huge loss.

"Shh, keep your voice down, don't let Serie hear!"

Frieren tugged at Dugu Qing's sleeve and walked towards the Moonlight Hotel.

Fern followed the two, stretching her arms slightly, her sleeves fluttering, her face beaming with smiles, walking closely behind them as if she were performing an elegant dance.

"Fern, you seem very happy!"

"Yes! I've received the Magic of Eternal Youth! From now on, I'll never have to be afraid of getting old again."

"Then to celebrate, I'll cook for you myself!"

Frieren patted her chest, looking completely confident.

"No~"

Dugu Qing and Fern, however, reacted as if they had heard a ghost story, and loudly and righteously refused.

The moon hangs high in the branches, its hazy light illuminating the earth.

The advancement party within the Magic Association is about to begin.

Dugu Qing, Frieren, and Fern left early and returned to the hotel, where they gradually fell asleep in the quiet.

A peaceful night.

The next day, Dugu Qing got up early, went to the forest, sat cross-legged high in the air, abandoned all distractions, and focused on studying the magic of cleansing the skin.

Frieren didn't get up until almost noon. After taking a shower, she went for a walk in the garden in her pajamas.

An elderly figure emerged from the shadows of the house, his deeply lined face bearing a resolute determination, as if he had already committed suicide.

"Lord Frieren."

Upon hearing the sound, Frieren quietly looked up.

Laiern introduced himself and stated his purpose.

To become a human hero, to kill the legendary sorceress Frieren, and to be remembered in history, for honor and glory.

To remain by Serie's side, he challenged Frieren to Duel.

"Absurd reasons for fighting."

Frieren couldn't understand Laiern's thought process at all when she heard what Laiern said.

Laiern gave Frieren no room to refuse; her wand appeared in her hand, and a powerful Mana Bullet shot out suddenly.

A pleasant day came to an end, and then a storm arrived.

Frieren felt no desire to fight; in fact, she almost wanted to laugh.

She casually cast a defensive spell, frailly soaring into the sky, like an ordinary girl who wasn't prepared, dodging Laiern's attacks in mid-air.

Laiern's attacks were like a raging storm. Seeing Frieren dodging left and right, he felt good and thought he was invincible. Even the legendary mage Frieren was no match for him, so his attacks became more and more fierce.

Caught off guard, Frieren was struck by a Mana Bullet, her robes torn, leaving a vivid scar on her shoulder.

Dugu Qing descended from the sky, blocking all of Laiern's remaining attacks.

"I wish to spar with Frieren. Anyone not involved, please leave immediately."

Laiern looked at Dugu Qing without any politeness.

Dugu Qing moved his wrist, summoning the Clear Radiance Sword. His white figure flashed and appeared above Laiern's head.

"Wow, that's fast!"

Laiern hadn't expected Dugu Qing to be so fast; he truly lived up to his reputation as the chosen one recognized by the Hero's Sword.

With a light tap of his wand, he unleashed his most prized and meticulously crafted golem spell. As the void trembled, three massive, mountain-like golems appeared in the world.

The three demonic statues raised their heads and roared deafeningly, baring their fangs and claws as they charged towards Dugu Qing.

Dugu Qing slashed down with his sword, the force of which was as heavy as Mount Tai, accompanied by a vast and powerful wind, sweeping down from the sky with awe-inspiring power.

"Boom~"

The two collided with a deafening roar, causing the air to tremble violently.

The three demonic statues looked terrified, their arms disintegrating inch by inch, turning into a pool of broken mud that was swept away by the gale.

"How is that possible!"

The golem that had protected countless students during the magic test was now utterly vulnerable, which Laiern could hardly believe.

Dugu Qing descended from the sky, slowly moving forward.

Laiern hadn't expected Dugu Qing to be so powerful; it was simply unbelievable. He frantically cast defensive magic.

Dugu Qing unleashed a punch with Overlord Divine Power, shattering the defensive light mirror into fragments.

"You're kidding!"

Laiern's nerves twitched, her eyes turned bloodshot, and she was completely unable to accept reality.

Dugu Qing remained expressionless, stretched out his hand, grabbed Laiern's throat, and gently lifted him into the air.

He glanced sideways at Frieren.

Frieren smiled and stepped out from behind Dugu Qing.

"I will not Duel with you; that would be a waste of time."

Laiern pounded on Dugu Qing's wrists with both hands, her legs swinging helplessly. The question now was, should Duel?

The problem now is that I was easily taken care of!

And what was with that look in Dugu Qing's eyes? Was he trying to strangle me?

How terrifying!

"Cough cough~"

Laiern coughed violently, her thin body like a candle flickering in the wind.

Dugu Qing's gaze was sharp, as if he hadn't heard, and he held Laiern's neck without moving.

Frieren felt sorry for Laiern and looked at him with pity, repeating what Serie had told her before.

"Serie is a stubborn but soft-hearted girl. She told me that she remembers the personality and favorite magic of every student she's ever had, so you don't need to leave your mark on history. Because Serie will remember."

With that, Frieren stepped over Laiern's body and walked away.

As Laiern watched Frieren disappear, he mumbled something he couldn't quite make out.

Don't go, come back here!

Tell Dugu Qing to put me down!

The surroundings were quiet. Dugu Qing had no interest in Laiern, so he left him aside and chased after him.

Cast a healing spell on Frieren to heal her shoulder injury.
