CHAPTER 1137: CHAPTER 842: ALL RIGHT, LET’S PLAY

"Use magic and spar with me."

When these words came out of Bagaman’s mouth, everyone present was momentarily stunned before collectively erupting in chatter.

"So that’s the Marquis Muralijit’s true objective?"

"He came specifically for this, didn’t he?"

"What a clever calculation."

The crowd couldn’t help but discuss animatedly.

At first, they were wondering why Bagaman would directly provoke Reiger like this, what on earth was he trying to do?

Even if it was for the sake of the Marquis Frenzel, for the woman he fancied, provoking Reiger without cause was undoubtedly a very foolish thing to do.

The other party was not only a superpower who even the kingdom’s strongest old Sword Saint acknowledged as superior, but also had two female Sword Saints following him. No matter how one looked at it, it would be more beneficial to win over and befriend him than to offend him.

Especially when Sword Saints, unlike magicians, are not subject to numerous constraints. To rashly offend three Sword Saints is an extremely unwise decision.

Magicians and the like are not feared at all by those in power.

Defensive barriers like the [Light of the Celestial Pillar] are set up in major noble families, though their level is far inferior to the former.

In the City Lord’s Hall of the Neutral City of Sinielle, there are also barriers that render magicians powerless.

Only Sword Saints are truly dreaded.

This was the main reason everyone began to fear Reiger.

Not only was he a powerful Sword Saint himself, but he also commanded two female Sword Saints, and this force was truly terrifying, capable of easily destroying a powerful family.

Moreover, the kingdom would likely not dare risk offending them by holding them accountable afterward.

After all, apart from Reiger, Yuloli, and Lilith, the kingdom only had five Sword Saints, each belonging to different factions, making it difficult to unite fully as Reiger’s side did.

Thus, against Reiger’s three Sword Saints, the kingdom of Ginas had virtually no deterrent power left.

Naturally, no one wanted to offend Reiger, including the Royalist and Ducal factions.

Who would have thought Bagaman had such an idea?

A magic duel?

This was somewhat intriguing.

"What do you mean by this, Marquis Muralijit?"

Yuri looked at Bagaman with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"Miss... Miss Lilith?! Calm down! Calm down!"

Behind her, Liz desperately tried to restrain Lilith, and the commotion spread over.

"It’s just a spar," Bagaman laughed it off, saying, "Because everyone says Lord Brilliant excels in both swordsmanship and magic, second to none, so I became curious about this."

"Aren’t you all curious?"

"As for swordsmanship, Lord Brilliant has demonstrated it many times, even setting up an arena where he fought a thousand matches a day and was invincible. I believe no one would doubt he is a great and powerful swordsman."

"But in terms of magic, Lord, you have never showcased it before others."

"Why not take this opportunity to show us the demeanor of the most talented individual in the history of the Akasha continent?"

Bagaman praised Reiger highly, spreading his arms and smiling.

"You don’t even need to demonstrate magic above the strategic level, or even tactical-level magic. Just use combat-level magic to spar and let everyone see your magical prowess, Lord."

Saying this, Bagaman could hardly disguise the pride in his tone.

Because everyone knew that even a tactical or strategic-level magician, capable of using extremely powerful tactical or strategic magic, might not necessarily excel at combat-level magic.

Bagaman, like most people, didn’t quite believe Reiger mastered magic above the strategic level, but regarding the rumors that Reiger was a strategic-level magician, they preferred to cautiously assume it was true rather than false.

But what if Reiger truly was a strategic-level magician?

Bagaman simply didn’t believe this genius, much younger than himself, whom he envied and was jealous of, could master combat-level magic while achieving such great swordsmanship.

It was with this belief that Bagaman dared to provoke Reiger and challenge him.

He wanted to defeat Reiger and establish himself as the number one magician in the noble circles of the kingdom, to tell Yuri that he was the best match for her.

So what if he was a Sword Saint?

So what if he was stronger than the kingdom’s strongest old Sword Saint?

Excellent magicians should combine with excellent magicians to continue outstanding bloodlines.

As a bloodline supremacist, Bagaman firmly believed that as long as he demonstrated the excellent magician lineage of the Muralijit family, Yuri would choose him.

No matter how foolish this idea was, the moment Bagaman proposed the "magic duel" challenge, the crowd’s interest was piqued.

Including Reiger, who gave Bagaman a glance, and suddenly smiled.

"Are you sure?"

He smiled mischievously, looking as if he was witnessing a clown performing before him.

"Of course."

Bagaman was extremely confident and affirming.

The crowd immediately turned their attention to Reiger, eyes filled with anticipation.

Clearly, their curiosity had been aroused.

Thinking carefully, in this world, Reiger indeed mostly showcased his swordsmanship, rarely displaying magic in public.
