Fourth Prince's Debauchery - Chapter 176

Chapter 176
Colle infancy was not easy .

When he was 7, he was diagnosed with the inability to cultivate martial arts . His mana circuits were completely unsuited for martial arts, and forcing it could kill him .

For the child of a family of martial generals, that was a huge blow .

His status in the family dropped overnight . Even his father, the family's patriarch, looked at him with disappointed eyes .

But Colle did not give up .

When his family gave him the back, he turned towards the only thing he could rely on, magic .

Using magic in his family was considered a dishonor, a taboo . As a family of valiant generals, they disdained the thought of fighting from the backlines like cowards .

But Colle was already being discriminated against by his inability to use martial arts . How could he care about it?

So, he started to study magic .

He wanted to show his family that even without martial arts, he was not trash . He wanted to show them that he was not worthless .

Fortunately, Colle's talent for magic was above average . He quickly advanced through the first and second cultivation layers and became one of the strongest in his family's younger generation .

However, the fact that he used magic continued being his shame .

Until he created [Grond] .

Seventeen different spells joined together to create a runic armor with offensive and defensive characteristics . [Grond] was Colle's pride . He started to create it when he was just a third-layer practitioner, and now that he was in the sixth layer, it had undergone many modifications .

But the complexity of [Grond] was too great . Even using another spell could cause the entire armor to fail . So, Colle stopped learning more spells . He dedicated all his time to strengthen and improve [Grond] . To make it stronger, faster, and more resilient .

In fact, Colle could be considered a failure as a mage, but a genius combatant . He took the term 'close-combat magic' to the extreme . Since the day he created [Grond], nobody in the same level had been able to break through his defenses .

Even Alan only won against him after a long battle of attrition where Colle expended all his mana .

But today, [Grond] was broken for the first time .

Facing Rose's sword, [Grond]'s defenses were as weak as butter .

Colle's eyes opened wide . After [Grond] was sliced apart, his entire body paralyzed .

He could only look while Rose's sword sliced through his defenses and pierced his shoulder .

Where her sword passed, [Grond] seemed to vanish . It was as though it feared being touched by the sword .

Only when he felt the pain on his shoulder, Colle reacted again .

\"Arrrrrgggggg!\" He shouted in rage and bewilderment and threw a punch . Rose was forced to avoid the attack and retreat back .

However, the damage had been done . Colle stood there, looking at the ground with his eyes vacant .


Strangely, though, Rose did not take advantage of his state to attack . Instead, she stood across him with a leisure expression .

\"… How did you do it?\" Colle finally asked after a long time .

Rose smiled . \"I told you, magic is useless against me . \"

\"That is impossible . \" Colle scoffed .

But Rose shook her head . \"I comprehend a technique a few years ago . Prince Claus called it [Purification] after he saw it . He told me it's the bane of magic . When I use it, magic becomes useless . \"

\"… I see . \" Colle thought for a moment and believed Rose's words . He also saw it, after Rose slashed, his magic armor had become useless .



Rose's [Purification] was a very strange concept . It carried the power to return everything to its normal condition .

Actually, this concept was pretty useless as a means of attack, but it was very good countering magic and laws . Magic worked by twisting the word's laws to create the desired effect, while [Purification] returned the laws to its original state . The result was obvious .

Colle took a deep breath . For an instant, a desolate expression appeared on his face .

But in the next second, he recovered his confident look .

\"No, my path is not wrong . I'm the one that is not good enough yet . \"

He then stared straight to Rose's eyes with a powerful gaze . \"Miss Rose, even if you managed to break through my defenses today, I will not lose so easily!\"

Instantly, all the mana in his body surged out .

His presence turned many times stronger . A heavy aura pressured the stage, pressing Rose's clothes against her skin .

But rather than being intimidated, Rose curved her lips up .

\"Come then, let's end it!\"

She then raised his sword and charged forward .

Her body accelerated while leaning forward, and her sword stabbed towards Colle's neck .

Colle replied with a punch .

The punch and the sword clashed creating a powerful explosion, but as expected, Rose's sword broke through Colle's defenses .

However, Colle did not care about the sword cutting his hand and instead, used his other hand to punch .

Rose opened her eyes wide and hurriedly created a magic shield while jumping back .



\"Hahaha, as I thought . \" Colle grinned savagely . \"You need a brief interval before using [Purification] again . It looks like you have not mastered it!\"

Rose snorted . She created a rain of magic arrows and thrust her sword towards Colle's chest .

Colle grunted . He crossed his arms and stopped the sword .

But the sword did not carry the purification effect .

\"Crap!\"

The next second, one of the light arrows broke his defenses and pierced his right leg .

\"Ugh!\" Colle scowled and lost his balance . He then kneeled on the floor and looked at Rose with a complicate look .

\"Sigh… how unexpected . \"

Rose put on a serious look . \"You are very strong, senior . The only reason I was able to win was thanks to [Purification] . \"

Colle shook his head . \"It's not just that . I can see you are still in top condition . I, on the other hand, have expended most of my mana . \"

He then closed his eyes . . .

\"Unfortunately, I can't allow you to win . \"

… And activated the last card of his armor .

\"Explode . \"

Instantly, Rose's expression changed .



Before she could react, Colle's [Grond] turned into light and mana and exploded .

\"BOOM!!!\"

Rose panicked . She hurriedly lifted her sword and slashed forward . At the same time, she activated [Purification] to calm the berserk mana coming towards her .

\"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!\"

Rose's sword lit up . A blinding light filled the sword and cut through the wave of berserk mana coming towards her .

Under the intense pressure, Rose felt her [Purification] became stronger . The concept that had become stagnant long ago started to grow again .

She felt that she could vanish everything using her sword .

When the explosion finished, 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, she realized that her feet had left the stage .
