"What just happened? Did anyone notice?"
Following the words of the handsome man, there was a moment of separation and silence on the battlefield. Xueling Huanbing, who took the time to retreat to his own camp, then asked Duan Qing in a low voice, and at the same time inadvertently moved towards the direction of Asahi Dongsheng. Pointed: "Can you say -"
"No, it should be some kind of magical effect." Duan Qing, who was also calm, shook his head: "The specific magical effect is still difficult to confirm. After all, it is a person related to the Magic Council who used No method is too strange..."
"Hey! What do you say now?" As expected, Asahi Dongsheng's cry came from behind him: "Is this a method used by the other party, or is it our own problem? Your sect - wait a minute, it's not you who is here Are you doing something secretly?"
He said doubtful words, and at the same time glared angrily in the direction of Mephisto. The latter was about to join Duan Qing and others in Sansheng Fish Pond, but stopped when he heard the sound. Still retreating slowly: "Humph, it's unreasonable."
"Don't get close yet." He loudly warned the two people not to get closer. Chao Ri Dongsheng raised his long sword with a look of distrust, almost shaking off Romulus on his shoulders: " Just stand there and don't move! Don't move! Lin Yuan cuts off the water——"
"I've detected it a long time ago. It's not their problem." Duan Qing's voice came from his side. The gray-robed magician kept staring at the surrounding scene, seeming to be on guard for any possible secrets. Attack that occurred: "If no other source can be found, it should be the person above, although I didn't get any warning before..."
"They saw that we had expanded the territory and opened the portal with the help of the repaired magic rules, but instead gave up further advancement and continued to maintain the encirclement situation as their main task." Then came the message in his ears. Mephisto chuckled: "It should be that we are sure that we can't leave through this door."
"Romulus seemed to have mentioned the other party's name before he fell." Duan Qing's expression gradually became solemn: "That is to say -"
"Welcome to the territory of our Magic Empire."
Without giving everyone present a chance to communicate, the young and handsome man floating in the center of the magician group spread out his hands again. The magic book that was originally floating next to him also released its freeze-frame state and re-opened. The sound of rapid flipping was restored: "I have heard about your deeds from Frakini and Ymir, and I have been yearning for you for a long time. When I saw you today, you really lived up to my expectations."
"The move that just repeled the 'Chaos Nebula' and the move that blocked my 'Surge of Psychic Energy' were magic I have never seen before." The handsome young magician flicked his hand at his side. The magic book was constantly being flipped, and curious eyes were flickering in the overlooking eyes: "In addition to the 'Type Zero' you claimed before - if possible, can you show it to me again?"
"This magician seems to be very curious about my magic." He secretly gestured to the teammates around him with his hands behind his back. Duan Qing still had a calm expression on his raised face: "But I still I am still a magic apprentice, and the magic I use cannot even penetrate the eyes of my two mentors. It is difficult for me to continue to be embarrassed in front of you."
"It doesn't matter. I have seen a lot of magic when I was walking in the world. Many of them were low-level magic apprentices and even ordinary people with no magic talent. They inadvertently displayed the so-called 'inferior magic' in front of me." The young and handsome magician smiled and replied: "But in my eyes, the way they use those magics is much better than the 'advanced magic' that I have seen that is powerful in name but extremely inferior in reality. , they are always full of novel ideas, full of creativity and imagination in the way of using magic! They are not bound by the existing magic system! They have not become victims of the old-era magic system's 'stalemate'!"
"They are the future of magic." He suddenly withdrew his increasingly excited tone, and the handsome magician sighed deeply: "Future magic research needs these fresh blood, which have not been corrupted by the old era. Young people, we old guys should have retreated long ago."
"This is not what a member of the Magic Council of the Magic Empire said." He held a few magic runes in his hands, and Duan Qing, who was facing the other party, still maintained a superficial smile: "And with all due respect, , Your Excellency, you don't look like an 'old guy'. Compared to Ymir and Frakini, your appearance and attitude towards magic seem to be much younger than them."
"It just looks like this. My soul has long been etched with a curse called 'ancient magic'." The young and handsome magician sighed and looked at the pages of the magic book that were constantly turning in front of him: "Although I have used many taboos, The method extended my life, but the knowledge I acquired was far from satisfying my thirst. Even after joining the Magic Empire, the magic theory here still did not break away from the control of the 'known' and became a 'star' that I could not touch. .”
"It does sound like a regrettable thing." Duan Qing smiled and tugged at the corners of his lips: "If you are interested, of course I am also interested in exchanging magic experiences with you, but at the moment-"
"I know what you want."
Interrupting the gray-robed magician's words, the handsome magician floating in the air smiled and shook his head: "But in the final analysis, you are still intruders invading the territory of the Magic Empire, rather than wanting to take the initiative like those adventurers. Guests who apply to join the Magic Empire want to have equal theoretical exchanges with me, but your status is not reasonable enough at the moment."
"The most important thing is that you are still protecting Romulus, a great magician who wants to trespass into our forbidden territory without permission." The handsome young man twirled the flowing hair in front of his forehead with his fingers. : "In addition to the few words that Frakini and Ymir specially took care of me before -"
"Then there's no need to talk!" As if he didn't intend to continue the communication - or to delay time, Duan Qing shouted and raised his hands: "Rune Release: Element Convergence!"
"Hmm, it seems to be a way of using magic elements that can be highly gathered together." Looking down at the surrounding circle below, which gradually condensed into a tetrahedral shape, like a pyramid-like magic wall, the handsome young man above nodded. Nodding: "What a pity-"
"This is still bound by the existing rules."
Invisible shock waves spread above, and the darkness that originally spread over the sky seemed to become a little darker at this moment. A trace of trance-like Snow Spirit Fantasy Ice flashed in his eyes. Then he hurriedly turned his head, and what he saw was holding up Duan Qing, with both hands vomiting blood, almost fell to the ground: "What's wrong with you? What happened just now?"
"No, that's not right...I understand." The tetrahedron of elements that maintained a high concentration did not loosen, and Duan Qing, who was swaying, finally used his own will to forcibly stabilize his body that guided magic: "This guy's The attack method...should be...a type related to mental power..."
"That's a mental shock, right?" Asahi Dongsheng, who also maintained a fighting posture, asked nervously: "Is the thing that blocked me from opening the door just now something like a mental barrier?"
"I don't know yet. I'm not an expert in this field." Duan Qing wiped the corner of his mouth with difficulty: "The only thing I know is that the magic runes I reserved in advance should not have any effect on him. It’s working... The sun is rising in the east!"
An iron chain swung from nowhere appeared out of thin air in the magic wall supported by Duan Qing, stabbing towards the direction of Chao Ri Dongsheng without any fancy. Duan Qing reminded him and he quickly turned over to avoid it. Come on, Romulus, who was carried on his shoulders, had to be thrown to the ground: "Damn it! It's that other master! What on earth is Goldman doing?"
"It seems that he has also been restrained." He turned back and blocked the snake-like iron chain to the side with a sword. Xue Ling Huanbing replied in a low voice: "Without any pressure, the magician over there It seems that the master can 'project' the chains directly in front of us."
"This is also an opponent who can ignore magic defense." He stretched out his hand and corroded the magic chain into black sand all over the sky. Mephisto also reminded Duan Qing: "You can take back your elemental polymerization shield. "
"No, this can at least block other people." Duan Qing still maintained his support movement and shook his head: "I forced this thing out, not to guard against these two members of the Magic Council."
"Nina."
Trying hard to maintain the guiding movement, Duan Qing turned around and asked the girl in white behind him in a low voice: "Is there any response?"
"Master is on his way." Nina answered with an equally light voice: "That's what she said."
"That strange energy...is it still by the door?"
"Nina can still sense that something is blocking it - no, it should be said that it is covering the surface of the 'door'. Nina can't tell clearly."
"That's 'mysterious'."
A low voice came from behind Duan Qing. The gray-robed magician looked back and saw that Romulus, who had been thrown to the spot before, had opened his eyes at some point. Above the weak voice that could not be concealed, there was a pair of With piercing eyes: "It's...ahem...that guy from Sphinxon...obtained...power that cannot be explained by normal...magic theory..."
"That's what he said, the power that doesn't comply with the 'rules', right?" Duan Qing took a deep breath: "How to crack it?"
"Normal magic means...cough! Normal means...cannot be cracked." Contrary to Duan Qing's hopeless expectation, the weak voice of Romulus, who was seriously injured on the ground, was unexpectedly weak. Confidence: "But...I...know some...mysteries, because I have also studied...ancient magic..."
"Use the fire element... as the torso, and the wind element as... the limbs..." He pointed his hand in the direction of the door that Nina had been maintaining, and his fingers seemed to be trying their best to outline something: "Quick... go Set up...the magic circle, use...'Hermann type'..."
"protect me!"
Duan Qing shouted to the other teammates around him. Duan Qing, who gave up maintaining the magic wall, rushed to the edge of the door. No longer caring about the direction of the battle behind him, he began to wave his hands seriously, and the magic energy on his fingertips also Various magical lights flashed during the process of condensation: "'Hermann type'... I remember it is a variant of Clariant's triangle magic circle, right? It uses three nodes in the middle, and two far ends on the left and right below. Use one for each - what about the top? What should I use for the top?"
"Water." Aina's voice came from above his head: "The last thing the great magician who fell on the ground said was water, and he is now unconscious again."
"Bang!" Looking at the rapidly disappearing magic walls that had lost their guidance and maintenance, Duan Qing gritted his teeth and had to make a decision as quickly as possible: "Then use the water element! Connect...use the earth element!"
In front of him, a triangular magic circle that had just been outlined on the door gradually became brighter under the shining of several rays of light. The triangular structure that should have been very stable gradually became tilted due to the mutual collision of these elemental energies. Finally, it twisted and deformed into an unimaginable irregular shape: "Is it 'disintegration' caused by irregular layout... Can this thing really work?"
Snapped.
The clear voice seemed to echo in Duan Qing's mind, seeming to remind him of some changes that were happening in front of him. The gray-robed magician opened his eyes and looked at Luo Mulu, who was unconscious again on the ground. Si stretched out his hand and said: "Quick! Take him -"
He turned around and saw that Asahi Dongsheng, who was previously responsible for taking away Romulus, had been stopped at the edge of the protective wall by several swords that came forward to attack him: "I, I can't get through!"
"How did you get to that place?" A black line flashed across his forehead for a moment. Duan Qing stood up and had to rush to Romulus' side: "Lingbing!"
"Know!"
The surrounding magic walls were completely shattered, and the heavy pressure from above came as expected at the next moment. The invisible energy fluctuations that could not be observed as solid and weighted like mountains were also in the hands of Xueling Huanbing at the moment before they reached Duan Qing's head. The white bone swords collided together, and with a tooth-aching creaking and friction sound, a large piece of dirt on the left side of the several people was thrown away. It hit the ground to the right like a ball being blown away. The white-haired female swordsman flew dozens of meters away and turned around in the air with blood spit out. Another line of sight came into her sight. The iron chain that emerged out of thin air bypassed the energy shield that the gray figure barely erected in front of him, and the snake bit the girl in white behind him: "Be careful—"
boom!
In the freeze-frame scene where time almost stopped passing, Nina in white seemed to be speaking her last words to Duan Qing who was very close at hand. However, a flame with a terrifying whistling sound broke through the door behind her at the next moment. , with an unstoppable force that rushed to the sky, the iron chain that was about to pierce her back flew into the air.
