Whether Gray Merchant's little move will succeed is not mentioned for the moment, because even if it succeeds, it will only be after the second confrontation between the Shadow Giant and Gray Merchant.
The shadow giant's simulated fist of black mist was already hitting the gem shield made by the gray merchant.
The gray merchant was very confident in his gem shield, so he dared to make small moves secretly. However, what Gray Shang didn't expect was that the huge fist of black mist, the moment it came into contact with the gem shield, was directly... assimilated!
Yes, that’s assimilation!
Gray Merchant watched helplessly as the black mist fist turned into a ball of clear yellow crystals. These crystals were as round as gems, exactly like the gems produced by Gray Merchant after activating his bloodline, shining with a unique and luxurious luster.
According to normal circumstances, even if the black mist fist is assimilated into a gem fist, it should be blocked by the gem shield, because the physical collision must be resolved first.
But what Gray Shang didn't expect was that the moment the gem fist touched the gem shield, it directly bypassed the physical collision and passed through the gem shield in elemental form!
This sounds and looks like it's not very difficult. To put it bluntly, isn't it just elementalization?
But the real situation is many times more complicated and difficult than it seems from the outside world.
Elementalization is true. Indeed, only elementalization can penetrate the gem shield. However, there is a very critical point here.
Even if it is elementalization, you still need to follow the basic rules of an element:
The intersection of different elements will produce different results due to the different properties of the elements. For example, coexistence, fusion, dissolution, explosion, isolation.
Even if the same type of elements intersect, different results will occur due to the inertia of the elements themselves and the different shapes they take due to external influences. Although explosions are rare, they do exist, and the more common situations are coexistence and isolation.
Just like this time, the gray merchant's gem shield, regardless of the bloodline theory, purely from the elemental point of view, is undoubtedly the secret method of gems in the earth system and the qualitative change branch lineage.
Among the qualitative change branch lines, the most representative school is not the gem secret method, but the mysticism sorcerer.
Although the Mystic Metal Warlock and the Gem Mystic Technique are both qualitative transformation branches, after being transformed into elements, it is difficult for the two to blend together. Instead, they coexist and are isolated.
Even elements of the same structure, the same series, and the same branch are very likely to be unable to blend. This shows how amazing the attack of the shadow giant is, and it can even be said to be exaggerated!
The exaggeration is that the moment the black mist-like fist touched the gem shield, it immediately analyzed the element composition, element situation, and element properties of the gem shield, and directly transformed itself into the exact same element structure, and then carried out Only after becoming elemental can he pass through the gem shield!
Not to mention whether this is something that ordinary wizards can do, the difficulty alone is beyond imagination!
And the most important point is, how does the opponent transform the elements? Isn't he a shadow? Why did he become a gem secret?
These questions were the questions that came to Gray Merchant's mind when he was hit in the chest by the gem fist, flew backwards, and fell parabolically in mid-air.
Although the severe pain in his body and the sound of broken bones from the depression in his chest were so loud, these were just trivial matters to Gray Merchant. What he was most concerned about was... why and what happened?
Of course, in addition to this, the gray merchant has not forgotten the little tricks he used in secret. Can those unstable elemental gems cause harm to this strange opponent?
The answer was soon revealed.
After the gray merchant fell heavily, he rolled as hard as he could and lifted himself up from the ground. When he stood up, he saw an incredible scene.
The shadow giant on the opposite side... No, there is no shadow giant now, but a gem giant.
Before, only one fist turned into a gem, but now, the entire body has turned into a gem.
The gem giant is covered in yellow crystals. It looks more like...a gem earth dragon. But the gray merchant who truly possesses the blood of the gem earth dragon is as disgraced as dust.
The gem giant, which used to have various shadow fragments constantly appearing around it, is now replaced by the radiant rainbow mist.
And the gems shot out from Gray Shang's tail, the moment they came into contact with the gem giant, passed through it just like the previous gem shield.
This opponent who calls himself a fan of Earl has once again been elementalized, and directly assimilated.
All the gems passed through without causing a single explosion. Finally, it directly followed the trajectory, plunged into the void, and disappeared.
Watching this scene, Gray Shang felt his brain buzzing.
What kind of monster was he facing?
Why? what happened? what happened? These questions echoed in Hui Shang's mind repeatedly, but he still couldn't think of an answer.
After the gray merchant stumbled to his feet, his doubts were not resolved, so he simply raised his doubts directly to Ermi.
However, the gem giant not far away just looked down at the gray merchant and said nothing.
Gray Merchant smiled mockingly to himself: "Yes, we are in a duel now, and I would be stupid enough to probe my opponent's ability. However, I still have to thank you... No, thank you, Your Excellency, for not taking this opportunity to attack me."
The gem giant still didn't speak or take action, he just looked at the gray merchant indifferently.
Gray Merchant seemed to have some realization: "I understand, what you want is a real battle."
The gray merchant raised his head, his expression instantly became solemn, and his eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.
"I will fulfill your request!"
As Gray Shang spoke, the blood in his body continued to overflow, his muscles became huge, his limbs began to swell, and his two legs were like elephant legs, strong and thick. The crystals on the body are generated at an extremely fast speed, and these crystals cover the whole body!
This also means that Gray Merchant is ready for a real battle, with all his blood flowing!
The power of the Gem Earth Dragon is constantly rising.
Facing this terrifying dragon power, Doakes couldn't help but tremble outside the arena. The sandworm bloodline on the back of his sword is about to stir, and he has the desire to challenge Long Wei, but more of it is the fear and fear caused by the suppression of the bloodline.
Doakes suppressed the restlessness of his bloodline and looked at the center of the battlefield with a frown: "What is he doing? After letting Gray Merchant's bloodline fully activate, even Er fans may not be able to suppress it."
Doakes had reminded Angel before that it was best to get rid of the gray merchant before he went all-buy, otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Unlike transformation wizards, blood wizards use the same bloodline. Even if their bloodlines are fully activated, there will not be much side effects in the future. And a blood wizard with all his bloodline would be terrifying beyond imagination!
Only Vai responded to Doakes' question.
"What do you know? It must be meaningful for Sir to let the Gray Merchant fully activate his blood. The battle at the top is a head-to-head confrontation!"
Doakes was too lazy to communicate with Angel's idiot fans. He just stared into the distance silently, waiting for the next change.
Not only Doakes, but also the wise master, the black count, and the evil woman are all curious about what Angel is doing.
Really, just for a hearty battle?
The answer - of course not.
After Ermi turned into a gem giant and allowed those gem bombs to pass through him, Angel took the initiative to stop it.
Because Angel finally noticed the abnormal emotions.
It's just that this abnormal emotion is very vague and comes and goes. In order to prevent Earl's fan from making big movements and causing insensitivity in perception, Angel temporarily stopped Earl's fan.
However, Angel also understood the priorities. Defeating the gray merchant was definitely the most important thing at the moment. Finding out where "she" was was just a side option.
The reason why Angel dared to stop the Earl fans this time was that he was sure of victory. Therefore, the included options are ranked first.
After Ermi stopped, Angel began to carefully investigate the source of the abnormal emotion.
Without the obstruction of the rioting elements around him, Angel soon discovered the source of his abnormal emotions.
It was just this answer that surprised Angel.
Because this extremely obscure emotion comes from... gray merchants!
Yes, it was the gray merchant who was still in a duel with him.
Now, Angel sensed two completely different emotions from Gray Merchant. The first emotion was from Gray Merchant himself. It was the most obvious and unconcealed, with a slight hint of goodwill. ——Although Angel didn't know why the gray merchant was inexplicably excited at this time?
The second emotion is also from the Gray Shang. It is fundamentally different from the emotions conveyed by other creatures. It is very slight and comes and goes, as if it is separated by a layer of veil and is vague.
But even though it was so blurry, Angel still discovered this anomaly. Because it is "parasitic" on the gray merchant!
Angel, who is surrounded by malicious emotions, is very concerned about the limited good intentions, especially as his opponent and the only gray merchant in the Travel Merchant Organization who has good intentions towards him, Angel's attention The degree will be higher.
Therefore, when the gray merchant showed disharmonious emotions, Angel noticed it immediately.
The reason why it is called "disharmonious emotions" is because the gray merchant is kind to Angel, but the hidden emotion is completely opposite, and he has obvious malice towards Angel.
If this kind of malice were placed in the void and surrounded by those chaotic and vicious emotions, Angel would not be able to detect it at all. But when it comes to gray merchants, the contrast is too obvious.
In Angel's opinion, there are only three situations for this sudden malicious emotion: first, the gray merchant has multiple personalities, and his other personality is malicious to Angel; second, the gray merchant has something similar to Earl Mysteries or elemental companions, and other life forms or energy bodies, it is these intelligent beings that have malicious intentions towards Angel.
The third situation is the "one" who spies in secret.
Angel is naturally inclined to the third scenario, because the first two scenarios are only "probable", but what is certain is that the person will definitely be spying in secret.
Therefore, the probability of the third situation is relatively high in Angel's opinion.
But, if it is really that person's spy. Angel was really surprised. He had always thought that "she" would use the magic energy array to investigate the duel from a God's perspective. In other words, simply hide near the arena.
Unexpectedly, she was directly on the competitive stage, observing herself at close range as an opponent.
Angel didn't even know what he had provoked, so why did he target him like this?
Could it be that it was because of the oil painting that he destroyed? That oil painting is so important that even the Noah family can put it aside and only care about themselves?
Angel didn't know the reason, but the malice was unmistakable.
Now that he had temporarily locked "her" position, Angel withdrew his perception to avoid being discovered by the other party.
At the moment when Angel withdrew his perception, he heard the gray merchant's voice: "I understand, what you want is a real battle."
Angel: "???" What are you talking about?
Then, before Angel could recover from these words, the gray merchant began to activate his bloodline and said to Angel with a fighting spirit: "I will satisfy your request!"
Angel: "..."
In just a few seconds, why did Gray Shang's painting style suddenly change to such a passionate style? From the look in his eyes, it seemed that it would be a mistake for me not to "burn" with him.
Also, how did the gray merchant understand that he wanted a "real battle"?
If he wanted a real fight, would he let Earl fall for it?
Angel was completely confused now, but looking at Gray Shang's increasingly swollen muscles and increasingly surging blood, he knew that he might not be able to remain stunned any longer.
It's time to decide the winner.
…
It actually doesn't take long to activate blood vessels. In particular, a pure bloodline like the Bloodborne Wizard can be activated while fighting, even if the bloodline is fully activated, and the time will not exceed two seconds.
But now, it took Hui Shang almost twenty seconds just to activate his bloodline.
The shape of the bloodline is slowly taking shape: first, the skin slowly exudes various crystals and gems, and then the scales and armor made of crystals slowly cover the whole body, and then the muscles gradually expand, the bones are alienated step by step, and the dragon's power gradually increases to the top.
Another iconic feature is the gray merchant's mask, which first covers the entire face, then gradually becomes a "frontal ornament", then a "hairpin", and finally becomes a decoration on the crystal scales .
It can be seen from this that the size of the gray merchant is gradually getting larger.
Will it be stronger this way? No, it will look more handsome this way.
Of course, gray merchants are not looking to be more handsome. He was just waiting for his opponent, waiting for Earl's fans to make a move.
As long as Ermi shows his intention to start a war, he will immediately enter a fighting state.
In his mind, this is a "real battle" and a necessary respect for the opponent.
The gray merchant maintained a posture for about half a minute, and Angel finally came to his senses, and slowly stretched out his hand, aiming at the gray merchant.
Upon seeing this, the gray merchant knew that the battle had begun!
Without any further hesitation, the huge "Jewel Earth Dragon" jumped up, controlled the entire muscle center in the air, turned into a sharp crystal roller, and crushed Angel!
