Arcane Lord

But this is not a problem for Xia Duo. He only needs to disintegrate a very small number of spell elements involving drastic changes in the environment in time to prevent himself from falling into passivity. The remaining vast majority of random spells can be ignored by his own bloodline's ability to control laws.

As long as the movement is small enough, you don't have to worry about alerting possible enemies ahead. This is just like a large group of clear water moving in muddy water is not easy to hide, but if there is only a drop of water, it is much easier.

In this way, Xia Duo hid in the chaos and moved quietly forward. As the distance narrowed little by little, the slightly calm battle scene ahead appeared in front of him little by little——

His previous guess was correct, this place is indeed related to Iolum, or the fighting party is Iolum!

On the other side, there is a light elf whose whole body exudes strong spiritual light, but whose face is still clearly visible.

Xia Duo has seen this kind of scene more than once. This is the saint form that the high elf mage will show when he is desperate.

The elves in this form are extremely sensitive to the magic network. It can even be said that they are integrated with the magic network and are the magic itself.

Any change in the magic network, whether macroscopic or microscopic, seems to him to be like "looking at the tree in the forest", or in Xia Duo's words, "looking at the lines on the palm of the hand".

An elf mage in this state is almost impossible to sneak attack.

At the same time, due to the particularity of elf magic, the elf mage's perception of the magic network is basically equivalent to the ability to control the magic network itself.

Elf High Mages in their Saint form are able to easily disrupt their opponent's spells, making them nearly impossible to defeat quickly while in this state.

Using the analogy of the army, an elf mage in the saint state is like having the entire map unlocked, and at the same time, the combat power of every soldier under his command is directly maxed out.

If you want to defeat him, you must crush him with absolutely overwhelming numerical superiority.

In a normal magic network environment, the elf mage can completely evacuate before his opponent accumulates an overwhelming advantage.

It's just that this is not a normal magic network environment!

Not only is the state of the magic network violent and abnormal, there are also problems with the plane itself. Due to the overlap between the etheric plane and the main plane, teleportation spells based on the etheric link are basically unusable.

As for teleportation spells that use the astral plane as a medium, due to the natural repulsion between the astral plane and the etheric plane, the difficulty of casting spells is far higher than before.

More importantly, if you have not experienced such an environment, it will be quite difficult to temporarily piece together such a set of teleportation spells suitable for the current environment.

Even for elven mages who have more advantages than humans in this regard!

Sha Duo knew that the elf mage in front of him was really trying his best, rather than pretending to scare people. Correspondingly, facing a desperate elf mage, one can imagine the pressure on Iolum.

At this moment, Iolum and the elf mage each occupy two ends of the battlefield. Iolum has reshaped a relatively calm magic network environment based on the miniature magic network spread by the arcane fire, while the elf mage relies on the saint form. With his super-powerful perception of the magic network, he automatically gained a field of order that moved according to his heart.

The focus of the current battle between the two sides is not the victory or defeat at the specific spell level, but the invasion and oppression of the other side's territory.

The fragments of the rule structure that could occasionally be glimpsed from the perspective of the macroscopic magic network when Shado arrived were the result of the battle between Iolum and the elves.

Or to be more precise, every time the elf mage accumulates a certain advantage, he will try to shape the Mystic Lock to overwhelm Iolum in one fell swoop.

But Iolum obviously couldn't let the opponent arrange the secret lock calmly and put himself at a complete disadvantage, so he also grasped the timing of the attack very well, hitting the key point just when the opponent was about to succeed.

The invasion and oppression of the spellcasting field does not require the maintenance of specific spell elements. It is similar to the melee of small soldiers on a large-scale battlefield. It only needs to ensure that the opponent cannot form a local advantageous combat power.

The Mystic Lock is equivalent to gathering a large wave of troops, which not only consumes the commander's mental energy, but also causes weak troops in other parts of the battlefield.

That's why Iolum was able to break up such organized attacks again and again.

But "If you defend for a long time, you will lose." Xia Duo didn't know if Iolum had any backup plan, but he judged from the situation he saw so far that Iolum was at a disadvantage. If there were no other variables, he would lose. It's just a matter of time.

It is inconvenient for the elves to escape from the battle here. Similarly, Iolum will certainly not be an exception. Defeat is basically equivalent to death.

At this time, Xia Duo saw the fighting scene ahead and was anxious in his heart, but he knew that rushing could not solve the problem, and more importantly -

How to enter the battlefield without affecting Iolum, and at the same time suppress the elves.

Now both sides are anxious, and any random intervention may lead to Iolum's defeat in the next moment, and Shado himself sees it now, and he does not think that he will definitely be able to defeat the elf in front of him.

This kind of battle has gone beyond the normal sense of spell duel, and requires extremely high levels of knowledge broadcasting and adaptability.

In the former, Xia Duo is still certain, but in the latter, how can he, an ordinary human under a hundred years old, compare to an elf who has been immersed in this way for hundreds of years!

Especially since this elf dared to sneak into the headquarters of the Arcane Federation alone, there was a high probability that he would not be a parallel import, and he should have full confidence in himself.

This is evident from his ability to gain the upper hand in his battle with Iolum.

"How can I do?"

For a moment, Xia Duo reviewed his strengths and weaknesses at the moment in his mind.

He currently has two main advantages. One is that he has not been discovered yet, and the other is that he has a spellcasting ability that is (probably) not inferior to that of the elves.

There are two shortcomings. One is that it has not been discovered yet. It cannot cooperate with Iolum and may even interfere with the other party.

Another shortcoming is that Xia Duo has too few fights with elf mages, especially the number of fights with high mages is almost zero!

He knew what to do, but he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to perform it when it came to war.

At this moment, Xia Duo suddenly thought of a [Time Stop] that he had only heard of before traveling through time, but had never heard of before traveling through time.

Of course, this cannot be to pause time in a certain area, but to speed up one's own actions, whether thinking or casting spells.

This should be a change spell, but unfortunately, Xia Duo has not studied much in the field of change spells. It is of course impossible for him to stand here and create [Stop Time].

…

Two advantages and two shortcomings, what should we do?

The thoughts in Xia Duo's mind were like lightning, and he quickly found a solution that was almost the only possible solution!
