Chapter-77 The Final Battle pt-3
(Yotsuba Maya POV)
Ruthless!
If I had to describe Mr. Saltzman in one word, it would be ruthless.
I can see why Sensei acknowledges him as one of the leaders of the new generation.
Yotsuba Clan has many talented individuals, including my nephew but none as talented in magic as Mr. Saltzman.
This man can not only use [Ancient-Magic] and [Modern-Magic] interchangeably, he also does it without a C.A.D.
Not to mention the smoothness of his casting has already reached such a high level that even seasoned magicians like me or Saegusa didn't sense him casting the spell.
Hm...
First, he asked the crazy doctor about the origin of the core of this creature, its power source. Proposing some interesting theories when Dr. Eriskiel didn't reply.
He is indeed monstrously observant.
I wonder if it's a viable option to sent Tatsuya and Miyuki to [First-High School] with an individual like Mr. Saltzman as their senior?
Anyways, so after not getting a reply from the crazy doctor.
He just stabbed Dr. Eriskiel in the chest and fried the man using electricity.
Absolutely unbothered by what he did, the actions he took. He turned towards Elder Retsu.
I followed his line of sight and found myself looking at the clone of Mr. Saltzman standing near, Sensei.
Hmm...
I narrowed my eyes as I watched the clone disappear into multiple crows, fascinating use of [Ancient Magic:-Familiar].
Looking towards Sensei, I caught Kouichi looking towards Mr. Saltzman with a calculating gleam within his eyes.
Tch!
He is probably thinking about how to get Mr. Saltzman on the side of the Saegusa Clan, using his daughter as a bargaining chip.
As much as I hate to admit it, Kouichi always had a talent for leading, something which I myself don't lack yet still can't compete with him in.
Fortunately, I don't think he can manipulate Mr. Saltzman, at least not after seeing the level of intelligence showcased by him.
Not to mention, he as a businessman wouldn't involve himself with any of the factions and is likely to stay neutral.
I am looking forward to seeing how will this turn out.
Bam!
My head snapped towards the source of the sudden sound, the creature had an enraged expression on its face.
It trashed Juumonji Katsuto using its superior strength, burying the latter in debris before shooting towards Mr. Saltzman at a barely visible speed.
Talking about Juumonji Katsuto, I must mention that I have never seen a Juumonji achieve something of his level before.
The future heir of the Juumonji Clan is far stronger than I thought, not to mention this strange...mode of his.
Anything that comes in contact with his psion gets destroyed!
Similar to Tatsuya's decomposition yet his strange psion armor actually destroys even psion itself, making it impossible for any spell to affect him!
This makes him theoretically immune to all magic, keyword:-theoretically.
I can't understand what kind of magic he is using, but I do know that this "Game of Chess" suddenly has a lot of powerful variables.
Not to mention, Juumonji Katsuto and Mr. Saltzman are also business partners in the new project the latter has been working on.
I wonder what is going on.

(Erik's POV)
I observed the raging King with a serious expression.
I don't even remember being this serious when confronting someone previously; in my entire life.
Now that I was limited to use a reasonable portion of my strength, I will make the most of it.
Using subtle [Time-Magic], I accelerated the time perception as I saw fit, making it look like I was using [Acceleration-Magic] on myself.
Taking a [Special Flash-Grenade] out of my sleeve, I flicked away the pin before releasing the pressure of the trigger.
Now you all must be wondering, 'Why I was doing this?'
Well, first and foremost, I must escape the attack of the creature who's fist was about to pulverize my body.
Click!
Chink!
The pin fell on the ground as the grenade glowed with blinding white light, making everyone go blind, temporarily.
None escaped the grenade's effect, not even the powerful creature as he too was forced to close his eyes.
By doing so, not only multiple shadows were formed, allowing travel using the [Hollow's Body] but also nobody could see what had transpired in that period.
All this, meaning I was safe.
Due to the positioning of The King, a long shadow was formed on the wall near Katsuto's current location.
I quickly submerged in the shadows and emerged again, near the wall.
While others were temporarily blind.
Without wasting any time, I raised my palm towards The King as a magic circle appeared over my right palm.
"[Acceleration-Magic]....." (Erik)
I rapidly launched multiple stakes towards my target as high-speed projectiles, using [Acceleration-Magic] to provide speed to the attack.
Space rippled as the projectiles tore through the air before impacting The King's back, similar to how a tank fires a shot.
Ding!
Unfortunately, The King's skin was impossible to penetrate. So other than leaving a few scratches, no real damage was done to the creature.
Though that didn't stop me from bombarding him with my attack.
The King had already recovered from the flash and feeling the attacks on his back only served to further anger him.
"Rhaaa!" (King)
He coated his left arm with his aura before swinging it backward, creating a vertical slash made of his psion.
"Not so fast!" (Katsuto)
Juumonji had already recovered from the previous exchange between him and The King.
Putting his hand forward, he made a thrusting motion. A considerable sized sequence could be seen on his arm.
He was getting used to his newfound power.
"[Phalanx]...."
A three-dimensional wall appeared in front of the vertical slash, both smashed against each other, successfully negating the other.
Boom!
The collision creating a dust cloud, successfully blocking the vision of both parties.
I knew that using this as an opportunity to attack, The King would immediately rush through the smokescreen.
And my prediction indeed came true.
He appeared in front of me with a smoldering orb of green energy within his hand, giving off nasty amounts of energy.
Normally, an opponent would be caught off guard due to the screen smoke.
Unfortunately for The King, both I and Katsuto have special abilities which give us quite an edge over others.
I once again raised my hands in the air before pulling them downwards.
Whoosh!
The King found himself to be restricted, completely immobile for the time being.
From a third-person view, it looked like the creature suddenly froze in front of me, but that wasn't the case.
I had used [Vibranium-wire] to restrict the creature for a few seconds, knowing well enough that the wires wouldn't hold him for long.
Even so, it was never my intention to restrict him for long.
"[Maelstorm]..." (Katsuto)
Katsuto smashed a huge sphere formed using his grey aura right on top of The King's head.
Due to the latter being restricted, Katsuto found an opening to deliver a fatal blow.
And he didn't hesitate.
Bam!
The floor was immediately crushed as both Katsuto and I, we both decided to retreat.
The King sunk into the ground, falling through a couple of floors but we knew better.
He will be back.
And this time, he would go all out.
