LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 247: Chapter 244 - City of Calais (4)
"Don't be afraid, I'm a kind man, very kind." Noticing the change in Philip's expression, Rose commented in a gentle tone, although she could not see the maniacal smile on his lips. She was someone who could control herself perfectly, given her overwhelming power.
But that limiter disappeared as she fought, it was as if her brain was releasing a huge amount of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin into her bloodstream. Frankly, the feeling was exhilarating, to the point where she was increasingly looking forward to a fight where she could use her powers without any qualms.
Gently?
If it weren't for the mad smile on the girl's lips, Philip might actually believe it, after all, Rose's appearance showed nothing but beauty and elegance. Unfortunately, the smile on her face would make anyone uncomfortable, no matter how beautiful Rose was.
Drawing his sword, Philip wanted to end the fight quickly and retreated quickly, not that he was a coward, but they were only a few dozen kilometres from England and there was a monster he definitely didn't want to face.
Albus Dumbledore - the most powerful man in the world.
As the fight began, he had no doubt that the man would quickly arrive to support the extremely talented young woman in front of him.
Perhaps sensing his intention, Rose rolled up the sleeves of her white military uniform and spoke casually. "If you're thinking of running away, I have the bad news that you can't escape. I've sealed off all space within a few kilometres, which means Aparatar won't work."
The white-haired girl's words made Philip's expression change drastically. He looked around, but instead of seeing, he felt with his special wizard senses. As Rose had said, there was a large cage surrounding the entire city, like a great dome.
This shocked Philip; he hadn't noticed anything. Not even a hint of magical energy!
Which was shocking, considering how sensitive his senses were, even the slightest magical energy could be detected miles away, especially at such close range and with him inside the dome!
"If I defeat you, this dome will disappear." As a Special Grade wizard with decades of experience, Philip calmed down quickly as he drew his sword.
"That's the spirit I want to see in you." Rose commented with a smile, what would be the fun of fighting if Philip just ran away? She didn't want to play cat and mouse, she wanted to kill a lion with a bloody bazooka!
Arrogance. I can use that. Philip thought as he analysed his enemy, Rose's arrogance was no surprise to him, if he had that strength at fourteen, he would be even more arrogant than Rose herself.
In an instant, Philip moved and huge thorns emerged from the ground and moved through the air towards Rose. They were like giant pillars, darkening the sky.
Whoever was fighting at that moment stepped back as they saw the apocalyptic battle unfolding before them. Rose didn't move, allowing herself to be attacked as she analysed the enemy.
She knew all the Special Grade Wizards and Witches, at least the ones who were public figures, and Philip Bourbon was a public figure. And like any important figure in the wizarding world, his information was on the desks of every powerful wizard in the world.
She knew the House of Bourbon's innate technique, Planetary Manipulation.
The Inherited Technique was simple and easy to understand, one could manipulate the earth as one wished, it was a very annoying ability for others, after all there was earth wherever one stepped.
Unfortunately for Philip, this was not the case with Rose. Before his shocked eyes, all the thorns he had manipulated had stopped and were no longer able to advance towards the girl, as if they had stopped in time, or rather were unable to reach their target.
The Potter house! Philip quickly recalled the information about the Potter House and couldn't help but take a deep breath, this damned technique was always able to provide him with information. Attack from a distance? Boundless would stop his attacks. Attack at close range? His attacks would also be stopped by the infinite distance between them!
The only way to get through Limitless was to cross the infinite space between him and Rose, but that was easier said than done, and extremely difficult to do with actions.
In an instant, Philip realised that he couldn't beat Rose while she was using the Limitless. His only chance was to force her innate technique to cancel itself, and there was only one way to cancel someone else's innate technique.
Sheathing his sword again, Philip laced his fingers together and spoke in an instant.
"Domain Expansion - Primordial World Creation."
Rose, of course, saw what Philip was doing and didn't stop either. She still remembered Asterion's words about Domain Expansion.
"Before the physical body, we are mere mortals, incapable of withstanding such a large amount of magical energy. Therefore, even you would be shattered in the face of the brutality of a Domain Expansion."
"Domain Expansion - Unlimited Void."
In an instant, black barriers rose around both of them, they both imbibed their respective innate techniques, and the purest ripping of the fabric of reality took place.
A long black corridor formed around Rose, then purple rays tore through space at extreme speed as a gigantic inhuman eye rose into the sky.
Rose's Domain expansion was similar to Asterion's, but instead of driving the enemy mad with vast amounts of negative emotion, Rose drove people mad by pumping endless amounts of useless information into the enemy's brain.
Philip's Domain Extension unfolded behind him like a huge piece of stone floating in space, ancient and primordial. Yet it was elastic and extremely heavy, as if its own weight were sinking into the fabric of time and space.
BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!
As the two realms collided, an explosion dwarfing any atomic bomb appeared in the sky of the city of Calais.
All the wizards and witches present lifted their heads and stared in horror at the explosion, which would easily sweep away a gigantic city.
Alice looked at them and wondered if these were really powers that humans should have. She felt that sooner or later the world would be destroyed by human hands. It wasn't an exaggerated worry, because mankind really was killing its own planet, and not just today.
But things weren't going as well as Alice had hoped.
Crack!
Philip watched in horror and fear as his Domain Expansion shattered in front of him, fragments ripping through him as the enemy's Domain Expansion enveloped his body in an instant. Never in his life had Philip expected to be defeated in a Domain Expansion match by a child barely fifteen years old!
It was completely insane that a fourteen-year-old girl could have a more refined Domain Expansion than he, a man of almost eighty. Still, reality hit him in the stomach, letting him know that he had lost the confrontation.
He was dead, of that he had no doubt.
As his own Domain Expansion passed him by, Philip remembered his life and how much he wished he could have kissed his daughter on the forehead and said goodbye with more emotion.
Rose watched the Special Grade Wizard's crazed gaze with extreme irritation. She wanted to fight, she wanted to fight hand-to-hand, but because of this man she couldn't and she felt extremely dissatisfied.
She hadn't wanted to use her Domain Expansion because she knew how good she was at controlling and refining magical energy; even Asterion was no match for her in that respect. If it hadn't been for a two-thousand-year-old aberration like Herpo the Dirty, he might well have been one of the strongest beings on the planet!
Philip, his mind ravaged by an endless stream of information, had a mad look on his face and his body began to fall from the sky.
Everyone watched in utter shock as the body of the French Special Grade Wizard fell to the ground with a thud.
The epic and incredible battle that everyone had been waiting for lasted only a moment before ending in an anti-climax for all the spectators.
Clovis de Valois gulped as he saw Philip's body on the ground, horror on his face as he watched the mad expression on the Special Grade Wizard's face.
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!
Clovis didn't hesitate and fled, abandoning the city and his soldiers. What did it matter in the face of his own life? He couldn't die, he hadn't reached the special grade yet, he had a lot to do and he didn't want to die.
But his hope was extinguished in the next second when Rose Potter appeared before him.
- I can do anything. You want information? I can give it to you!" Clovis spoke quickly, his expression full of panic and terror. He didn't notice the increasingly cold look in Rose's eyes.
If there was one thing she hated, it was traitors.
"Die." Rose said in a cold voice as she grabbed Clovis' head and ripped it from his body in a brutal manner that would have made Escorpion from Mortal Kombat proud.
