Colle's childhood wasn't easy.
When he was 7 years old, he was diagnosed with an inability to cultivate martial arts. His mana circuit was completely unsuitable for martial arts, and forced him to kill him.
To the son of a martial generals family, it was a huge blow.
His status in the family went down overnight. Even his father, the leader of the family, looked at him with disappointed eyes.
But Colle didn't give up.
When her family ignores her, she turns to the only thing she can count on, magic.
Using magic in his family was considered a disgrace, a taboo. As a family of valiant generals, they underestimated the thought of fighting from the backline like cowards.
But Colle was already discriminated against for his inability to use martial arts. How could he care about that?
So, he started learning magic.
He wanted to show his family that even without martial arts, he was not trash. He wanted to show them that he was valuable.
Fortunately, Colle's magic talent was above average. He quickly advanced through the first and second cultivation layers and became one of the strongest in the younger generation of his family.
However, the fact that he used magic continued to be his disgrace.
Until he created (Grond).
Seventeen different spells joined together to create a secret armor with offensive and defensive characteristics. (Grond) is Colle's pride. He started making it when he was just a third-tier practitioner, and now that he was at the sixth layer, it had undergone many modifications.
But the complexity (Grond) is too great. Even using another spell could cause the entire armor to fail. So, Colle stopped learning more spells. He dedicates all his time to strengthening and improving (Grond). To make it stronger, faster, and tougher.
In fact, Colle could be considered a failure as a mage, but a genius fighter. He used the term 'close combat magic' to the extreme. From the day he created (Grond), no one at the same level was able to break through his defenses.
Even Alan only won against him after a long battle of attrition in which Colle spent all his mana.
But today, (Grond) broke for the first time.
Facing Rose's sword, the defense (Grond) was as weak as butter.
Colle's eyes were wide open. After (Grond) was sliced, his entire body was paralyzed.
He could only see as Rose's sword pierced through his defenses and pierced through his shoulder.
Where the sword passed, (Grond) seemed to disappear. It was as if he was afraid of being touched by the sword.
Only when she felt pain in her shoulder did Colle react again.
“Arrrrrgggggg!” He shouted furiously and confusedly and threw a punch. Rose was forced to dodge the attack and retreat back.
However, damage has been done. Colle stood there, staring at the ground with a blank look.
Surprisingly, Rose did not utilize her condition to attack. Instead, he stood opposite her with a relaxed expression.
"… How do you do it?" Colle finally asked after a long time.
Smiling roses. "I told you, magic is useless against me."
"That's impossible." Colle sneered.
But Rose shook her head. “I understood the technique a few years ago. Prince Claus called it (Purity) after he saw it. He said it was a magic curse. When I use it, magic becomes useless.”
"… So it is." Colle thought for a moment and trusted Rose's words. He also saw her, after Rose slashed, her magic armor became useless.
Rose (Purity) is a very strange concept. It brought the power to return everything to its normal state.
In fact, this concept was very useless as a means of attack, but it was very good for fighting magic and laws. Magic works by twisting the word law to create the desired effect, while (Purity) returns the law to its original state. Results clear.
Colle took a deep breath. For a moment, a sad expression appeared on his face.
But in the next second, he recovered his confident appearance.
“No, my path is not wrong. I'm the one who's not good enough.”
He then looked straight into Rose's eyes with a strong gaze. "Miss Rose, even if you manage to break through my defense today, I won't lose so easily!"
His presence changed many times stronger. The heavy aura pressed down on the stage, pressing Rose's clothes onto her skin.
But instead of being intimidated, Rose curled her lips upwards.
"Come, let's end it!"
He then raised his sword and charged forward.
His body accelerated while leaning forward, and his sword pierced Colle's neck.
Colle answered with a punch.
The blows and clashing swords created a powerful explosion, but as expected, Rose's sword pierced through Colle's defenses.
However, Colle did not care about the sword that cut off his hand and instead, used his other hand to punch.
Rose opened her eyes wide and hurriedly created a magic shield while jumping backwards.
"Hahaha, as I thought." Colle grinned ruthlessly. “You need a short pause before using (Purity) again. Looks like you haven't mastered it!”
Rose grunting. He created a rain of magic arrows and thrust his sword into Colle's chest.
Colle grunting. He crossed his arms and stopped his sword.
But the sword did not bring about a refining effect.
"Omong empty!"
In the next instant, one of the light arrows broke his defense and pierced his right leg.
“Ugh!” Colle frowned and lost his balance. He then knelt on the floor and looked at Rose with a complicated look.
“Huh... really unexpected.”
Rose put on a serious look. “You are very strong, senior. The only reason I can win is thanks (Purity).”
Colle shook his head. “Not only that. I can see you are still in top shape. I, on the other hand, have spent most of my mana. ”
He then closed his eyes…
"Unfortunately, I can't let you win."
… And activate the last card of his armor.
"Istuped."
Suddenly, Rose's expression changed.
Before he can react, Colle's (Grond) property turns into light and mana explodes.
"EXPLOSION!!!"
Panic roses. He hurriedly raised his sword and slashed forward. At the same time, he activated (Purity) to calm down the rampaging mana that came towards him.
“AHHHHHHH!!!!”
Rose's sword is burning. A dazzling light filled the sword and cut through the raging mana waves that came towards him.
Under the intense pressure, Rose felt her (Purity) becoming stronger. Concepts that had stalled a long time ago began to grow back.
He felt that he could obliterate everything using his sword.
When the explosion was over, Colle looked at Rose with a wry smile.
"You are a monster."
Then, he collapsed on the ground.
However, Rose was not happy.
Looking down, he realized that his feet had left the stage.
