Chapter 234

Two days before his duel with the Flaming Salamander Lord, Phoebe found Remian pondering over a book .

"What's on your mind?" she rubbed his back slowly .

"I was wondering about how scientific magic could be . "

Phoebe stared at him blankly . "Isn't magic itself unscientific? Aren't they in complete contradiction?"

"Well… not exactly . A lot of magic has to do with imagery and knowledge . What if you used magic in conjunction with scientific knowledge? Would that work?" Remian asked .

"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked, completely baffled .

"No, no, it was just an idea . I was looking at three different elemental systems and thinking about how all of them work according to the understanding of different Magi's understanding . One system supports four elements; earth, fire, air, water . Another says there's five, from wood, metal, earth, water and fire . The other says there's about ten, including light, sound, lightning, and ice being separate from water . Their understanding was what enabled their systems to work, so even if they all have different systems, they all work just fine . "

"Your point is?"

"Well, magic also works with the laws of physics, right? Some of it is in contradiction to physics, but then there's a price to pay, usually in mana, which means an expenditure of energy . But the fact that ice is often used to counter fire is proof that it could work . "

"Could what work?" Phoebe's eyes narrowed . "Remian, what are you trying to do?"

"How about I just try it?" Remian asked . He pointed a finger . "Fireball . "
Advertis.e.m.e.nt
A head-sized ball of fire flew out and exploded, lightning a fire on the floor .

And then he cast a single spell, something Phoebe had never heard of before, and instantly the fire died . Completely snuffed out, without so much as a flicker of protest .

"That… that works too?!" Phoebe gaped . "How much mana did it cost?"

Remian checked and found himself stunned . "Almost nothing . "

Phoebe stared at Remian, jaw dropping . "Seriously?! But if that's the case… if this really works like it did just now…"

Remian grinned . "Then the Flaming Salamander is done for . "

Darian came by to check and see how he was doing afterwards . "So… I just spoke with Phoebe . She says you're pretty confident . "

"I have a few ideas, yeah . " Remian said, with a small grin .

"Care to share?" Darian said, crouching with his hands up in a combat stance . "Hit me with an ice spell . "

"Which Tier?" Remian asked .

"Try a Tier 5 . " Darian said, straight out .

Remian blinked at him, startled . Hitting a human with a Tier 5 ice spell… wasn't that basically trying to kill them?

"I'll be fine . " Darian said, snorting .

"Put up some defense first . " Remian said, after hesitating .

Darian sighed, and a layer of s.h.i.+mmering light covered him . "There . Silhouette Armor . Good enough for you?"

"More, please . I don't want Mom and Dad yelling at me for hurting you . "

The s.h.i.+mmering grew to roughly three feet, surrounding him like a bubble . "Protective Aura . Is that enough?"

"More . "

Darian frowned, and tapped his foot on the ground . A solid two-feet thick stone wall rose up, covering him up to his neck . "Still not enough for you?"

"No, that's good . " Remian said, finally satisfied . He raised one hand . "Glacial Spike!"

A huge shard of ice three times bigger than Remian shot out from nowhere and rammed into the barrier . There was a loud BOOM and the ground shook . The impact sent a burst of air in all directions, almost knocking Remian off his feet .

"How's that?" Remian asked .

"Too weak . " Darian snorted . "Got anything stronger?"

"Oh?" Remian's eyes narrowed . He raised both hands . "Avalanche Stream!"

A surge of ice and snow twice as thick as the previous Glacial Spike blasted out at Darian's wall . Darian ducked for cover as it slammed into his barrier, sending an explosion of white fountaining twenty feet into the air .

"Stronger, please . You can't even get through ONE of my defenses!" Darian yelled over the wall .

"Now, you're asking for it!" Remian scowled . "Instant Blizzard!"

A dark cloud formed overhead, sending cold wind and snow directly downwards . But Remian wasn't done yet . "Flash Freeze!"

A sudden icicle appeared where Darian stood, completely covering him in ice .

But it burst apart a moment later and Darian barked, "Was that supposed to stop me? That couldn't even hold me for a second! You have to throw everything you've got at me!"

Feeling irked and running out of ideas, Remian rolled his eyes and raised both hands to the sky . "Ice Everything But The Kitchen Sink!"

Out of nowhere, an absolute flurry of ice spells flooded Darian's position . Everything from single little s...o...b..a.l.l.s to a torrent of ice shards to Twin Glacial Spikes, animated Ice Sparrows to giant Frost Golems… even a whole freshly formed igloo went barreling at Darian's wall, hammering down on it .

Darian shouted . "That's all you've got?"

Remian's eyes narrowed . He crouched and laid a hand on the ground . "Sink!"

The ground under Darian's feet suddenly softened, dropping him up to his neck in sudden quicksand .

"That's not the kitchen sink you left out!" Darian pointed out .

So, for good measure, Remian yelled, "Ice Kitchen Sink!"

With that, an especially large, deluxe style kitchen sink made of ice fell down on Darian's position from above . It grew in size and weight as it fell, easily reaching twenty feet across as it landed .

Darian caught it with both hands above his head . "Mmpfh!

"Ice Kitchen Sink! Ice Kitchen Sink!" Remian called down two more right on top of the first . "And one more for the road!"

A fourth sink landed on Darian . Darian gaped . "Wha…?! Even THAT works?!"

Still feeling a little irritated, Remian threw in the finisher . "Giant Left Shoe Of Ice!"

An absolutely enormous boot big enough to stomp the entire national library slammed down on Darian . It completely covered him and his wall, and the whole field to boot (pun belatedly intended) .

"Satisfied now?!" Remian called .
