Just like a fruit whose shell instantly overflowed after being cracked open, the overwhelming frost completely covered a large area including Duan Qing as the huge dark blue ice ball shattered. The ice and snow turned into substance and then With the power of an avalanche, all the air in the space where the gray-robed magician was located was squeezed out, and the last words he had not yet finished echoed in the hall with the unique harsh roar of winter. Squinting at the masterpiece of his hand, Nifeng Youran, who had been watching the man disappear under the ice and snow, did not relax at all. The scorching wind from behind was also mixed with a disgusting aura, He swept past the place where he had just been submerged and disappeared: "——Is this how you ensure the fairness of the competition?"
"This is called a stray bullet, do you understand stray bullets?" Without the polite and friendly feeling when communicating with Duan Qing, Qian Zhihe, who kept running around the dark flame giant, also raised his voice after Nifeng leisurely complained: " It’s very difficult to ensure your own survival while dragging the hatred of this stupid giant around the hall! How can I have the time to care where his attacks fly?”
"Huh, let's just think this is just an accident." Looking at the sight of the large area of ice and snow he had just created being melted by the rolling heat flow, Nifeng Youran's voice of doubts was also lowered. A few points: "But... just destroy my "Ice and Snow Domain" directly. The level and saturation of this fire energy seems to be very high. "
"Fire, earth, void - the giant's attack contains at least three energy systems. It's impossible that it can't even melt the ice and snow." In the storm of ice and snow that had almost melted away, Duan had already escaped at some point. Qing then also appeared at the junction of the dark flame streamer and steam: "This is the power that Prad obtained by sacrificing himself. If you want to try these "meals" head-on, please feel free to do it. I am not willing to do it anyway. Not even the slightest bit. "
"It seems the situation is more extreme than I imagined."
Putting away his hands that were still about to cast spells, Nifeng Youran, who frowned, then controlled his position and moved a little further away: "How did you let the situation become like this? Could it be that you saw that When Prader Inflidy had a problem, didn't he strike first and seize the opportunity to kill this troublesome person?"
"You think we don't want to? When we arrived here, the other party had already succeeded." Duan Qing, who kept pouring the bottle of unknown alchemy potion he took out on his arm, grinned and replied helplessly: "In the process How many ignorant people were exploited and how many were his accomplices - these are no longer important. At that time, we could only guide the situation into what it is now according to the existing situation and the resources at hand. "
"Prad Inflidy is an earth magician on the books of the Wizards' Council, but because he studied puppetry with Romulus, he usually doesn't show much of his elemental talent." Shaking. Looking back at the dark flame giant who was still roaring under Qian Zhihe's sharp taunt, Nifeng leisurely explained in a low voice: "But you just mentioned flames and void... Flame is not bad, as long as it continues Just practice a magic. How did the essence of "void" appear in him? "
"Then you have to ask him himself - the manifestations of his "chaos" nature may have revealed his background and identity. "Moving his arms covered with potion, Duan Qing replied indifferently: "Of course, after this period of observation, this guy who has become a monster BOSS has probably lost part of his sanity. , otherwise he would probably have controlled the power he obtained by now and beaten us to pieces——"
Tsk!
The sound of the air being torn passed by his face in an instant, and a piece of ice blocked by Duan Qing's raised arm then sank into the ground behind him without any hindrance. Nifeng leisurely stretched his right hand forward at this moment Blue light was blooming in his eyes, and the magic ball floating beside him also turned into an ink-like black as it accelerated its rotation: "...It was actually blocked?"
"The magic repelling potion can achieve an "attached" state through the action of the elemental isolating potion. ” Duan Qing swung his arms horizontally and put away his blocking posture with a proud smile on his face:
"It can be attached to a staff or other weapons, but it's really inconvenient to use, so I used it this way... Is that your amplifying weapon?"
"I have raised the "Magic Amplification Core" to level eight or above, and every ice pick I shoot has the effect of piercing the steel plate. " Nifeng Youran's blue-light-filled eyes also showed a hint of thinking: "But I did only consider the increase in power and penetration, and never took the factor of "deflection" into consideration. think--"
"I didn't expect that I was defeated in the first actual battle?" Duan Qing's face was full of smiles: "Don't be discouraged, maybe it's just a coincidence, why not... you try again?"
"I won't fall for your trick."
There were slight changes in the movements and gestures of casting spells. Nifeng leisurely replied while wielding his next magic attack: "Since the "shooting magic" with trajectory cannot take effect, then use "shooting magic" without trajectory and displacement." "Area Magic" That's it - Frost Magic Mist. "
"Frost Shield."
Using the same type of magic shield to resist the ice-colored magic energy that instantly condensed around him, Duan Qing then closed his eyes and clasped his hands together: "Elemental Amplification - Ring of Flame."
The liberated flames scattered on the ground around Duan Qing, and the blazing fire also baked the surrounding dark blue ice mist into light blue. However, before Duan Qing could take the next step to dispel the ice, a new round of fire came from diagonally above. The magic attack came again: "Wind Arrow."
The low words and sounds seemed to contain huge power. The magic ball floating beside Nifeng Youran also separated part of the ink color contained in it. The black stream of light instantly broke through the shackles of space, and then fell on Duan Qing's raised arm. The deflection shattered large tracts of ancient floor tiles: "Ouch, why are you still testing my reflexes at this age?"
"Trying is a virtue."
The side-by-side wind-colored arrows were lined up next to Nifeng Youran, and then were dyed black in turn by the magic balls around him: "Especially when facing people like you - Wind Arrows! Continuous emission!"
"Do you want to use a covering area attack to break through my deflection range?" Faced with the arrows coming from a fan-shaped attack with different angular speeds, Duan Qing finally gave up the idea of sticking to his original position: "In this case, Then I’ll just hide.”
"Can you escape it?" The ink-colored arrow shot down leisurely against the wind also changed its trajectory: "Can you escape my "magic tracking"? "
"Manual control of magic tracking? It is the operation and confidence that only masters can have." Duan Qing's voice was buried in the bombardment of countless sharp wind arrows in the next moment: "Then I will use it for the time being... um."
As if remembering some concerns, the gray-robed magician still did not fully release the counterattack he originally wanted to use. The sound of arrows missing and the muffled sound of the floor being penetrated also covered Duan Qing's place at the next moment. At the position, the holes that should have appeared due to penetration also showed the tragic appearance of fragments in the scene like strafing: "...So I said it, why don't you use all your strength to duel with me? "
"Then it depends on what "all power" means. "
Surrounded by scattered gravel and smoke, Duan Qing, who stayed on the spot, slowly lowered his arms that were blocking his face. There were countless other body parts that could not be taken into account by the magic shield and arm defense that had been penetrated. The same hole appeared, and as Duan Qing's words fell, a stream of blood flowed out: "As long as you can protect your head, face and chest, the high-speed wind arrows that have been buffered by the magic shield will probably not be able to cause any fatal damage. ...Ahem, it’s not impossible.”
"But you clearly have a better way." Nifeng Youran replied with a stern look: "You can obviously use more skills to deal with my tricks. In the past games and various battles, you have even won There are all kinds of methods that are amazing to the world, why are they not used now?”
"..."
"The world always knows that Wizard is a guild that puts profits above all else, and is a guild that does whatever it takes to gain profits. Little does anyone know that they have also put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.
Once again, he secretly regained his disadvantage. "
Faced with Duan Qing's reaction of being silent and only focusing on his own healing, Nifeng Youran, who did not kill the killer, just said to himself: "Including this competition, Master Military Advisor will do to you with the support of President Lu Riguyan. After a lot of investigation, they gave me a lot of weapons, magic and skill props, so that I can have a way to deal with the endless methods you use, so as not to be embarrassed in front of everyone."
"I didn't want to do this originally. Although it doesn't conform to the unique aesthetics of the game, I hope that the winner can be determined openly and honestly under the premise of fairness." Having said this, Nifeng Youran patted his chest hard: " I don't mind these preparations that exceed my own ability level, but I am standing here with full preparation and sincerity, facing a Sky-Breaking Blade who is unwilling to show anything and even lacks fighting spirit. How do you ask me to explain to Wizad, who behind me has put in a lot of effort to prepare for the game, and to Sunset Lone Yan and Floating Dreams who are working so hard to prepare for the game?"
"...It seems that you have a heavy sense of responsibility." Duan Qing raised the potion bottle in his hand towards the opponent floating in the air, as if he was toasting: "Can I drink it?"
"Please help yourself."
"It seems that Wizard has indeed earned your respect and trust."
He raised his head and drank the potion in his hand. Duan Qing's whole body began to be surrounded by the hazy emerald green light that represented life. He endured the severe pain caused by the gradual healing of the puncture wounds in various parts of his body, but the voice he spoke again was still the same. Showing his calmness: "I don't mean to disrespect you and Wizard. I don't want to use abilities above the "level". Naturally, there are some personal reasons... Of course, if you really have the power to force me to use it, Come up with extraordinary skills, that's your ability. "
"Like... Intention Sword?"
"That's a thing of the past."
Shaking his head and denying the words spoken by the other party, Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "I am referring to some... magic, something that goes against the common sense of this world. In this world that advertises "freedom" and "reality" Here, only magic can break through the rules and make the impossible possible. "
"Is this the reason why you chose magician as your new profession when you disappeared from the Sky City and were reborn?"
"Why, isn't this reason enough?"
"The reason why the famous Sky-Breaking Blade gave up the Intention Sword that he is famous for is actually the charm of magic itself - ha, it seems that we are of the same mind."
"...You also like magic?"
"Of course, in Windwind, even earlier and younger, I had given up my ambition to become a magician. Wizard supported and fulfilled my wish, invested a lot of resources in me, and even used Their status and reputation in the Council of Mages allowed me to inherit the mantle of the Water Mage..."
"The water mage's mantle? The draft of the Council of Seven? How could there be such a thing?"
""Delicacy and elegance are just useless decorations, only the beauty of magic can be eternal" - the first sentence in the manuscript gave me a lot of inspiration. It can be said that without it, I would not be where I am now. Achievement. "
"Well, another reason to fight."
"I'm not doing it to repay the favor, I'm just doing it for magic! To explore more magic! Abandon vulgarity, seek the root, discover more systems and moves, and find more great miracles that can be achieved by magic——"
"I'm not talking about you."
Interrupting Nifeng Youran's increasingly passionate words, Duan Qing put down the potion bottle in his hand, wiped his mouth and replied in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to be a potential martial arts idiot... No, "magic idiot", But your interests and intentions have nothing to do with me, and I won’t interfere, but——”
"You just mentioned the mantle of the water mage." The gray-robed mage raised one of his hands, and there seemed to be light shining in his eyes as he looked at his palm: "I inherited a lot from her in the past. Her kindness can be regarded as another example of "without her, I would not be where I am today." Although she herself is not out of danger, I can
He didn't want to see her name inherited and wasted like this. "
"you--!"
"Yes, this can be a reason for me to fight."
A few purple threads flashed out of his hand, and Duan Qing pointed at Nifeng Youran's face from a distance: "Just think it's for Christine."
"You, who inexplicably stole the "inheritance" while others were away, and now come up with a series of high-sounding reasons to convince yourself and feel complacent, you really need to learn a lesson. "
