Picked up a Demon King to be a Maid Chapter 293

Hebrew patted Lin Tian's shoulder and thoughtfully took two steps back to make some room for him.

“Okay, just watch!”

Lin Tian cleared his throat and turned around confidently. He fixed his gaze on the ugly black stone doll and began moving the magic power in his body.

At that time, the people from the lobby were standing at the door and watching Lin Tian getting ready to challenge it.

“Strange…”

Yao Zi didn't know what those guys were planning, but something didn't feel right. But she could only silently stand behind her little brother and cheer him on.

“Good luck, bring out your full strength!”

“Hehe, sis, just wait and see!”

Lin Tian smiled and formed his hands into fists. He raised his arms to chest level and extended his thumb and index finger.

“Ice Comet!”

The youth cried out as a pale blue light gathered between his hands, quickly forming a magic circle that was almost as big as a person. The complexity made one flabbergasted, each part of the circle required extreme concentration to complete.

“Oh? This kid isn't too bad, I heard he's not even sixteen.”

“Un, both his magic power and affinity are high, although still far from those geniuses from Loran Academy, but he's still quite excellent.”

Although they heard that Bamboo Academy won the Academy Tournament through luck, but from what they saw, that might have been biased.

Ice Comet, fifth-level ice magic, was considered to be more difficult out of all the fifth-level magics. There was no way to complete a circle that large and complex unless they were highly skilled, since Lin Tian was able to successfully form it without any mistakes, it showed his excellence.

“What a shame, even if it's the powerful ice comet, it's still no good…”

The people standing there smiled at one another and regrettably shook their heads.

On the other side, Lin Tian was finished with his magic.

In an instant, the huge magic circle vanished, all the magic power concentrated to one point and a huge sphere enveloped in blue mist appeared in midair!

“Isn't it just a small stone doll… take this!”

Like throwing a ball, Lin Tian single-handedly raised the large ice ball that was several times larger than the stone doll and forcefully flung it over!

The ice blue sphere was crystal clear and let out a brilliant glow under the sun. It was also extremely fast and left a streak of light behind it, scattering ice crystals around, it was as beautiful as a comet.

Though, this beautiful ice ball contained terrifying destructive power!

Boom!

The ice comet collided with the doll and exploded, sending a mist of ice everywhere, the temperature instantly dropped to the freezing point and the people watching where shocked.

“Hmph, what's the fuss.”

The ground in front of them was still covered with a layer of thin ice, the remaining ice crystals still remained. What a destructive power, even if it was a stone doll made of refined magic stones, it'll still fall!

Yet when the ice mist dispersed, Lin Tian opened his mouth with shock.

“What… it didn't fall?” Yao Zi held her face in shock and cried out.

The fat and round stone doll didn't fall as easy as he expected, it merely swayed back and forth a couple of times before stopping and sitting stable in its original spot. Even if its surroundings were completely frozen, just the doll itself didn't have any ice on it.

Seeing that scene, the spectators weren't surprised at all and Hebrew secretly snickered and earnestly walked over to console him.

“The refined magic stone can absorb most of the impact from the magic, your magic attack was too weak. It looked strong, but its power was completely absorbed, so it didn't fall over.” Hebrew acted like a mature uncle and patted Lin Tian's shoulder, “It's a shame, but you failed. I can't add your name into the roster, and you can't claim your salary.”

“How is this possible…”

Lin Tian looked at that blackish stone and sighed dejectedly.

Didn't he say that fifth-level magic was enough to knock it over? Why did his Ice Comet not work?

Was there something wrong with his magic circle? Although it looked powerful, but it was lacking strength?

Lin Tian repeatedly ruminated over the details of his casting, but he couldn't find what was wrong. He just silently stood there in a daze.

“Yao Zi, your turn.”

Hebrew ignored Lin Tian and called Yao Zi over.

“Eh? … I-is it my turn?”

Yao Zi timidly walked to where Lin Tian was standing earlier and glanced at him with worry. She couldn't comfort him right now and clenched her nervous fists first.

How could she do something that even Lin Tian couldn't do?

“I-I'll try.”

Since Hebrew kept urging her, she could only push forward.

Which magic should she use?

Since Yao Zi couldn't think of any other magic at the moment out of stress, she could only use her impression from earlier.

“I-Ice Comet!”

Yao Zi chanted as she imitated Lin Tian's movements and tried forming the magic circle.

“Eh? She can also use Ice Comet? Then that means she's also a fifth-level magician…”

“Impressive, the youth nowadays are really something else.”

“But… she doesn't seem too bright.”

Lin Tian already showed that an Ice Comet wouldn't knock the doll down, so it wouldn't work even if Yao Zi did the same thing.

As they were quietly discussing, Yao Zi's magic circle was almost complete.

The huge blue magic circle slowly rotated in front of her palms. She imitated Lin Tian and clenched her hands, extending her thumb and index finger and carefully constructed the circle and just before succeeding, something happened!

“C-comet… eh?”

At a crucial stage, Yao Zi accidentally got distracted and that momentary carelessness affected the entire circle. The pale blue circle cracked and shattered into a mist.

She failed to cast the ice comet.

“Uh… don't force yourself if you can't even construct the magic circle! If you get injured from the rebound, I can't afford to take responsibility!” Hebrew panicked and quickly stopped her.

“Sorry, I-I'm too stupid… wuu.”

“Sigh, forget it, it seems like neither of you can do it. Originally I was thinking that since you guys are siblings, if the older sister can pass, I'll also let that kid pass as well. But since you two both failed, if you want to get certified, then I'm afraid you'll have to pay some gold coins…”

Hebrew regrettably sighed and casually revealed his intentions, but Yao Zi focused on something else he said.

“You just said that if I passed, you'll also pass my brother, right?” Yao Zi lowered her head, her tone becoming kind of strange.

If it's for her brother… becoming an investigator is Lin Tian's dream, so if possible, she wants to help him!

“Y-yeah… but you already failed, even if I let you try again… what!?” Just as he was speaking, he realized something was wrong.

Yao Zi took it upon herself to try again, he wanted to stop her but he didn't dare…. because he saw a pair of white eyes.

All the color vanished from her eyes and were replaced with a deathly white, her medium black hair was also tinged with brown.

Other than her appearance, Hebrew noticed something else… all the magic power in the surroundings was sucked dry!

What the hell? Who did that?

Was it Yao Zi?

“Ice Comet!”

The girl cried out and cast the same magic once again.

“Is she an idiot? She couldn't even complete the circle, how can she cast it?”

“No, that's not right… it seems like she did it!”

Since they were standing behind Yao Zi, they couldn't see the change to her appearance, but they could feel the magic power!

Even without the magic circle, the light blue magic power still gathered towards her palm, not just that, the remnant ice left behind from Lin Tian's Ice Comet was also absorbed!

The huge sparkling ice ball grew larger and larger, from the height of half a person to a huge sphere as large as two people!

Yao Zi glanced at that stone doll with contempt and casually pushed her hands and sent the terrifying Ice Comet flying!

The huge ice sphere instantly exploded, the thick ice mist enveloped the entire backyard, even the people standing at the door were covered with ice shards. They shivered like they were living in the winter months.

How could fifth-level magic have that much power? If it wasn't heading for that doll, but to them, they would probably be instantly frozen and crushed to pieces by the impact!

“My god, is that still fifth-level magic?”

Hebrew looked at Yao Zi like she was a monster, his chin almost drooping to the ground.

But unfortunately… it still wasn't enough.

When the ice mist diffused, that doll was still standing!
