Magus Tech Chapter 296: Solmen reappears
Facing the small fireball technique, the girl Barbara reacted quickly, stepped back slightly, and the long sword fell downward, obliquely inserted into the surface of the wooden platform. With a wave of the short gray staff in his right hand, a blue gem inlaid at the end of the short staff lit up, and the water vapor quickly condensed, releasing a water arrow more than 20 centimeters long.
The water arrow flew out and hit the fireball precisely. With a "pop", it pierced into the fireball, causing the fireball to extinguish.
Zero Ring Spell · Evocation Water Spell · Spiked Water Arrow!
Seeing that the attack was cracked, the boy Simon frowned slightly, and was about to continue the attack, but saw that the girl Barbara had already made a counterattack.
Barbara opened and closed her lips and uttered a spell. A sticky green acid condensed at the end of the short staff. With a wave of the short staff, the acid ball quickly flew towards Simon.
Zero Ring Spell · Evocation Water-type Acid Branch Spell · Slug Acid Breath!
Simon responded, and also chanted the spell, the air condensed, and an air missile flew out, hitting the acid blob, crushing the acid blob. The acid dispersed and splashed all over the surface of the wooden platform, a lot of foam appeared with a "stab" sound, but Simon was unscathed.
Zero Ring Spell · Evocation Wind-like Spell · Air Projectile!
As Simon and Barbara continued to fight, the people under the wooden platform watched extremely nervously.
Li Cha shook his head in the distance, feeling that this fighting method was too inefficient and conservative. The fighting method of the two is nothing more than to consume spells from a distance first, forcing one of them to run out of mana ahead of time and have to fight in close quarters, and then decide the victory. It's like playing chess, all the pieces to be dragged to one side are eaten up, and then checkmate.
Because the distance between the two of them on stage is not close, this mode of stance output has a very high fault tolerance rate. It is impossible to make any major changes until the mana in the dual method sources is exhausted. Therefore, in the battle between the two sides, the competition is not at all combat awareness and magic skills, but the stored magic power.
Bringing into the mode on the modern earth, that is, two soldiers who are enemies, the comparison is not about accurate marksmanship or higher tactical literacy, but who has more bullets. When two soldiers meet, you take turns shooting one shot and the other shoots the other. Whoever empties the bullet first has to use the bayonet for close combat, and falls into a disadvantage.
In this mode, unless you have the advantage of crushing, in the end, the state is almost the same, and you need to fight hard and exhaust almost all your mana, energy and physical strength to win. Therefore, it is impossible for the best student to defeat two students of the same level, which will completely kill the combat effectiveness.
In Li Cha's view, fighting can be done in another way - a more efficient and faster-paced way.
The two of them can try to dodge the opponent's spells and release spells to attack the opponent's body. Even if the opponent can also dodge, they will inevitably be drawn into a mobile battle, and the chances of various flaws will greatly increase.
At this time, as long as you can seize the opponent's flaws and attack in time, you can win at a small price. Not to mention defeating two students of the same level, it is also possible to defeat three or four students.
To be more extreme, close the distance at the beginning of the battle and directly engage in melee combat, and the victory can be won faster and at a lower price.
Thinking about this, Li Cha shook his head, lost interest and prepared to leave for the library. And just as he turned around, with a flash of his eyes, Li Cha noticed a somewhat familiar person disappearing among the crowd of onlookers on the wooden platform.
Huh?
Li Cha raised his eyebrows, and recalled the face of the person he saw just now with the aid of his persistent vision.
It seems to be... the face of the man in the mysterious organization that I saw when I hid in the alley after attending the auction.
It seems to be called... Somen? !
What is he doing here? what purpose?
Li Cha became vigilant.
He has always been a little apprehensive about the other party's identity and the mysterious organization behind the other party, and according to what the other party has done before, coming to this White Stone Tower does not seem like a good deed.
Then...
Li Cha squinted his eyes towards the crowd, hoping to find the other party, but found that the other party had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared before.
This...
Li Cha frowned, he didn't think what happened before was a hallucination, so what exactly was the other party trying to do?
Looking at the wooden platform, Li Cha saw that the boy named Simon and the girl named Barbara were still fighting, constantly using spells to bombard them, and the power of the spells continued to increase.
After a while, Simon blasted out a flaming spear that was several meters long, and stabbed Barbara fiercely.
Barbara continuously released water arrows, trying to defeat the flame spear. But the flaming spear called "Strike of the Raging Dragon" is obviously stronger than the previous "Little Fireball Technique". Barbara's three consecutive water arrows hit it, but it only made the flaming spear shrink in half.
In the end, seeing that she was about to be hit, Barbara yelled and swung her short staff violently, a large stream of ice mist gushed out, wrapping layers upon layers towards the flaming spear.
Like a peeled onion, the flame spear shrinks down layer by layer, and finally dissipates completely.
"Hoo—"
Barbara breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned pale. The "Winter's Breath" she cast was a spell close to the first level. For her, it was very expensive to release it in an emergency.
At this moment, the companions in the audience issued a warning.
"Be careful!"
"Barbara, watch out!"
"Barbara, get out of the way!"
Barbara listened, looked at his opponent, and saw that Simon had released another attack spell in the gap of her defense. It was a ball of air compressed to the extreme, like a giant's fist slamming at her~IndoMTL.com~ There was an explosion in the air, Barbara's eyes widened, and she wanted to resist, but the mana consumption was too great, and she couldn't do it at all. No, it's too late to dodge.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, Barbara was sent flying hard and hit the edge of the wooden platform, her whole body curled up because of the pain.
Simon looked at it, showing no sympathy at all. He opened and closed his lips, mana gushed out, and a blazing flame emerged from the end of the short staff, ready to continue to attack and kill Barbara.
"Enough!"
A majestic voice sounded, and the teacher Baishi Gaota who was maintaining order suddenly jumped onto the wooden platform, blocking between Simon and Barbara.
"Boy of Black Fort, you have won this competition, stop now, and save the people of Deep Blue Castle from trouble with you." The teacher from White Stone Tower reminded.
Simon's eyes flickered, and the flame at the end of the short staff was extinguished little by little. With his hands together, he bent over to Teacher Baishigaota, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand." He walked towards the audience .
At this time, Barbara's companions from Deep Blue Fort had rushed to the stage quickly, trying to help Barbara up, fighting against injustice while doing it.
"Really, what kind of people are they in Black Castle, they are so serious!"
"That's right, it hurt Barbara like this!"
"The next time I meet them..."
As they were talking, the people from Deep Blue Castle looked at Suomen with unfriendly eyes, Suomen continued to walk down the stage and ignored him.
Li Cha watched from a distance, frowned slightly, and didn't notice anything wrong. Although I saw Somen, a member of the mysterious organization, appearing just now, everything is normal.
Then...
Li Cha turned around and was about to leave when a scream rang out.
"Ah!"
Huh? !
