"Old-school magic battle... It's such an unfamiliar term! Mr. Toho Ramen, as an 'old-school' character from the same period, are you interested in explaining it to the new viewers? "
"Why don't you just say that you don't know? Really... Okay, okay, actually, it's not that difficult to explain. It's just that you guys who are not old enough have not seen the fighting style of our primitive people. "
"The combat skills at that time were not as rich as they are now, and even the technical means to support us in fighting were not as modern as they are now. Since there were no various combat skills to support the performances of the players, the battle modes and competitions were The scene was naturally not as exciting as it is now, and the fight was also very clumsy and ugly."
"Let me recall...I remember that in the competition at that time, if it was a 1VS1 single challenge between legal professions and legal professions, the battle scene would usually be——"
boom!
The space next to Duan Qing once again burst into flames, and the five fireballs that flew one after another accurately flooded the air around the gray-robed magician. He did not use flying methods to evade, and then he was hit by the five fireballs flying from above. The fireball hit the front door, and the outline of the body bathed in flames did not appear for a long time: "Yeah, it's really nostalgic."
"I miss the days when I couldn't use my body skills to evade, and I could only hit you and me. Well, forget it, I miss you. It's better not to mention the backward things again."
The flames and smoke of the explosion gradually dispersed, and a pale transparent magic film was first reflected in the air. The gray-robed figure belonging to Duan Qing then appeared unscathed behind the transparent magic film, with a nostalgic look on his face. He changed his expression to a serious expression again: "If there are really spectators watching the duel between us, they probably won't want to watch a fool-like game where the two sides have no technical content and just throw magic at each other to compete for blood and magic power. , they must want to see something 'more exciting'. "
"With all due respect, we haven't seen anything more exciting from you." In the scene where five warrior figures joined forces to surround and monitor Duan Qing, the figures of the five old men in the white light background above also shone again. Each asked: "With your paper-shell magic shield now? Don't forget, we have the firepower of five experienced magicians here."
"I don't mean to look down on the lethality of your fireball technique. I know very well how powerful a small fireball is." A small, automatically rotating fireball condensed on the tip of his raised finger. Duan Qing nodded matter-of-factly and replied, "Speaking of which, until now, I haven't had a serious magical counterattack."
"Then let's take this opportunity to give you a good 'response.' "
The spinning fireball detached from the fingertips of the gray-robed magician and flew slowly but firmly in the direction above. Five fireballs with different flight speeds and different size trajectories also responded to Duan Qing's movements and covered them from above. Next, one of the fireballs also accurately captured the attack trajectory thrown by Duan Qing, and successfully intercepted the spinning fireball. Amidst the sound of roaring flames breaking through the air, the remaining four fireballs hit Duan Qing's face again without any fancy, but it was the same as the previous time. His unscathed figure still stood among the followers and warriors. Under the surrounding colorless shield: "Hey, it's ineffective, it's impossible for an attack of this level to penetrate my magic defense."
"Magic defense?" The old magicians who caught this sentence accurately identified the anomaly: "It's not a magic shield, but a magic 'defense'?" Isn’t that a shield-type magic used to offset magic damage, but—”
"Yes, the reaction is very fast." Pointing to the film-like protective shell around him, the gray-robed magician showed a relieved smile: "Since it is an old-school magic attack, it is natural to strengthen its own resistance. It depends on the beating ability. Instead of applying thick layers of magic shields to increase the blood volume, it is more effective to apply a layer of magic defense shield to directly increase the "quality" of the blood volume. "
"Of course, this method may only work when facing low-level magic. High-level magic
The magic penetration is very strong, and the resistance magic effects are almost useless. Duan Qing paused for a moment when he said this: "But now is not the time to say such things."
"You haven't dealt with my fireball yet."
Reminded by Duan Qing's words, the eyes of the five old magicians suddenly focused on the junction center of the battlefield. The spinning fireball that was supposed to be intercepted by them was now like a wildfire that could not be extinguished, swaying and dim. The fire light also reignited as it continued to fly upward: "...What?"
"Although the ingredients are different, it should still be called fireball." A low voice from Duan Qing then echoed in everyone's ears: "As for what ingredients are in it--"
"Let me ask you to taste it first."
Starting to change directions as before, the formation of the five old men began to rotate around the edge of the circular passage again. However, no matter how they moved, this slowly floating upward magic fireball was like a persevering hunter, never giving up. He gave up his pursuit: "Is this... tracking magic?"
"Oh? This is also one of the most basic methods of magic application. I thought you could do it too." Duan Qing's low laughter also came from below: "Modern magic is very convenient, no matter how bad the magician is, You can hit the enemy in this way, of course, as a traditional magician player from the old era——"
"You may prefer to use your own skills to ensure your accuracy."
boom!
The fireball, which was so small that it was easy to ignore, exploded with huge energy the moment it was about to hit. The explosive bright yellow flames quickly swallowed up one of the members of the Five Fireball God Cult, covering the old magician. The magic shield on the teacher's body did not prevent the damage caused by this counterattack. The health of his teammates displayed on the team panel was still being lost by the flaming fire in front of him: "Fourth!"
"Life sharing!"
One of the old magicians quickly shouted and connected them with each other with a dark red light. The blood volume displayed on the team panel was also instantly balanced under the connection of this red light. He used the damage reduction of the other four teammates in exchange for the survival of the magician whose health was about to bottom out: "That's no problem."
"It's too much, it's too much. Not only do you have to deal with the firepower of five people, but you also have to deal with the health of five people, right?" Duan Qing, who witnessed this scene, then sent a response from below like a broken thought. "If I hadn't mixed the fireball technique with seasonings, I wouldn't have been able to pull off your special move of pressing the bottom of the box with your hands?"
"We still have many tricks to beat the bottom of the box." As expected, his words made the old magicians' already unhappy faces turn darker: "I'll let you learn from them right away."
A chaotic exchange of magic then appeared on the upper and lower levels of the black and white dividing line, mixed with the crackling sounds of fireball launches and collision explosions. The two sides on both sides of this duel then used their best skills, All one-way attack magic and defense methods were used on each other. The gap in numbers naturally brings about a gap in firepower. The number of fireballs thrown from the direction of the five magicians above is obviously much greater than the number of magic thrown back from below. However, under the action of various offense and defense conversions and simple magic , these fireballs that flew halfway through the passage did not all fall on Duan Qing: "——Another wind barrier! Now the two fireballs on the left missed again!"
"Haha! Where are you aiming? At my toes? Can you be a little more serious?"
"Ice arrow, ice arrow, or ice arrow! What, now you know how to 'modify' your attack with tracking magic?" But using tracking magic means exposing the flight path! I only need a few ice arrows to stop them easily! Without the ever-changing spellcasting trajectories and time differences, what threat does your Five Fireball God Cult still have? "
"Hey, this set of early detonation deception methods is quite good, but have you forgotten that there is also a 'sand melting technique'? High temperature will cause changes in the casting environment, causing the fireball spell to structurally collapse... Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this thing flying in front of me.
A lump of something, can this still be called a fireball? Can this still be called the 'work' of your Five Fireball God Cult?"
An arrogant aura rushed out from the fierce battlefield below the passage along with extremely taunting words. Together with Duan Qing's harsh laughter, it continued to blacken the faces of the five old men above. The number of fireballs also reached its peak at a certain moment, connecting the fireballs flying downward into a spectacular rainstorm. Duan Qing, who also waved his hands into an afterimage, used various instant primary magics to block half of the "raindrops" in the fireball rainstorm on the way, and the remaining amount was part of it. It was deflected by him with various defensive magics, and part of it was blocked by his enhanced resistance mask: "Hahahahaha! Is this the fun of old-fashioned magic confrontation? I really learned a lesson today! But -"
"In addition to the competition between magic combat methods and magic defense methods, there is now a third dimension that needs to be competed, and that is 'magic power'." "It seemed that he was not discouraged by the "no achievements" of his full-out attack. The slightly heavy breathing sounds of the five old men from above also followed him: "You can fight one against five for such a long time without running out of magic power. In terms of physical strength and physical strength, you are already in the superhuman level, but you can’t hold on forever.”
"That makes sense, so I have to give you some more responses." Duan Qing, bathed in the arc of explosion light, said to himself: "In that case, let me show you another research result. "
"Do you still want to use that trick again?" The old magicians raised their vigilance as if facing a formidable enemy: "It is impossible for that kind of evil fireball to hurt us a second time!"
"It's just some fire and brimstone mixed into the flames. How can it be called an 'evil way'?" "
The laughter belonging to Duan Qing became more and more obvious in the continuous explosion of magic, and the dangerous atmosphere began to overflow around the battlefield passage: "Let's not talk about whether this hurts me as a soldier. The self-esteem of alchemists...you are not sure about this or that. If you don't study it carefully and lack imagination, magic will become no fun in your hands."
"Hmph, magic is magic, fireballs are fireballs, what else can be changed?" The old men all showed contemptuous smiles: "Aside from this evil way, how can you possibly be better than our five fireball gods? Teach and learn deeper fireball magic?"
"Then just take out another one." Duan Qing's response came from below the channel where various elemental energy flows were flying: "You are lucky today to see my most profound research on magic theory."
"This is a fireball."
Like a teacher who was explaining, Duan Qing's originally somewhat arrogant and domineering tone suddenly became calm and serious at this moment, and a fireball that appeared out of thin air suddenly appeared above the passage as he spoke. , floating up and down in the center of the pentagonal formation formed by the five old men: "Do you know why the fireball technique is called fireball technique? No matter it is the Wizards Council, the Magic Council or various ancient magic documents, it seems that this issue has not been mentioned Woolen cloth."
"..."
"Because it is a 'sphere formed by flames', it is called a 'fireball' - this is what Wiggins told me personally. Isn't it very simple?"
Without waiting for his opponent to answer, he asked the question and gave his own answer: "But this literal explanation obviously cannot satisfy my curiosity, so I did a little more in-depth research: why do they gather? Will the flames that rise up appear in a spherical state instead of some other state?"
"The wind elements will show a state of freedom and chaos when they are gathered together, the earth elements will show natural inertia when they are gathered together, and the water elements will become fluid when they are gathered together. They are the easiest to shape among all elements... Then What about the fire element? Why is it that fire, which has always been known for being wild and unruly, is the one that is most likely to clump together?"
"You, who are known as the Five Fireball Gods and study fireball magic every day, can you give me the answer to this question?"
A series of explanations led to a series of questions, but the five old men who heard these questions did not react much to them, just because the words floating in the field of vision of the five people
The magic fireball in the center gradually stopped floating up and down following Duan Qing's words, and its size began to become smaller and smaller, but its flame and brightness became larger and larger: "So I studied it carefully for a long time. I came up with an answer that might be the answer——"
"The fire element is the one with the highest single energy level among the four initial magic elements."
A moment of dazzling light filled the entire passage space, and the blazing fireball that was still shrinking suddenly shattered at the moment when the light bloomed. The violent explosion that was imagined to be enough to swallow everything did not follow it. The self shattered and appeared, but the five old magicians who had prepared all the magic defenses spit out a mouthful of blood when it shattered, and their bodies became shaky as if they were hit by something heavy.
