Arcane Lord

The first one to appear was Shado's acquaintance - Stuart, the arcanist from Morien Tower. He not only participated in the [Arcane Puzzle], but even participated in the [Spell Showdown].

While training Stuart and the others in chess routines, Shado learned that seven of the ten arcanists from the Seven Towers also participated in the [Spell Duel].

Not all arcanists are willing to participate in arcane competitions. Although there are rewards for losing, the pressure is also very high, and there is another very important reason, and that is——

During the game, you must show your battle strategies and spell details in front of others.

This is unacceptable to many people. After all, no one knows whether enemies will use this against them. Only spellcasters with people behind them dare to be so bold.

As far as Sha Duo knows, all ten arcanists participating in the [Spell Showdown] are from the Seven Towers. Even in an indirect competition like the [Arcane Confusion], there are only three non-Seven Tower arcanists.

The Seventh Tower Arcanist is not necessarily stronger than the Arcanist from other places. There are only three non-Seventh Tower Arcanist. Is it just because the snow melting competition has just been opened to non-Seventh Tower Arcanist this year?

Conservatism is everywhere, and of course, danger is everywhere.

Sha Duo watched quietly as Stuart picked an Ellan elf, and then both parties walked onto the fighting stage in the center of the arena at the same time. A magical scene happened——

When they completely stepped onto the battle stage, it was as if they had entered another world. The entire body began to gradually become smaller, giving the impression that they were getting smaller, but at the same time, the relevant details were not lost at all.

They can still be seen in full view, even clearer than when they were outside the battle stage before.

At this moment, the host El Carmon took the initiative to explain:

"The battle stage is a small demi-plane that overlaps with the main plane. The actual distance between the two opponents is more than two hundred meters! However, in order to facilitate our viewing, His Excellency the Grand Arcanist has made some changes to this small demi-plane. A small adjustment.”

Stuart had already been informed of the relevant information about the demiplane before he stepped onto the battle stage, and his opponent, an elf mage, had also received relevant information before today.

There is no need to hide this, and there is no need to hide it. Stuart is confident of defeating the opponent.

Hearing El Camon's "Prepare" in his ears, and at the same time a strange flickering phenomenon appeared in the demiplane, Stuart knew that the game had begun.

He calmly applied various protective spells to himself, whether it was a true protective spell to resist absorbing damage, or a recharging spell to offset [Dispel Magic].

After that, he blessed himself with anti-interference, anti-detection, and enhanced perception spells. After everything was prepared, he raised his hand and made a gesture.

Although the demiplane he is currently in overlaps with the main plane, he can see the inside from the outside, but cannot see the outside from the inside. The preparation time is limited, but as long as both parties are ready, it can officially start. .

Outside, inside the arena.

Stuart raised his hand to show that everyone was watching, and not only their physical movements, but also all the spells in the preparatory stage were displayed in front of everyone one by one.

Perhaps because the demiplane on the battle stage has been specially set, even from a distance, Xia Duo can still see all the details of the opponent's spells from the audience.

Of course, you can only reach the fifth level of the magic network at most, and you won't be able to see the deeper details.

But even so, Xia Duo has gained a lot. At least he knows what state other arcanists are in when they cast spells; what are the rules for dismantling the elemental units of a spell; and some unfamiliar spells that some may or may not understand. .

However, the half-dimensional battle space still made Xia Duo feel a little uncomfortable. Although he could see all the details, he also saw that their bodies had become smaller.

This sense of contradiction in the perception of spatial information is simply dizzying.

Soon, with El Carmon's "start", the game officially began, and Shado no longer focused on the superficial sense of difference, but went deep into the essence of the spell——

Go amidst the changes in the Magic Network!

Whether it was the reconstruction of the magic net in the arena or the special settings of the demiplane, Sha Duo greedily absorbed the experience of the two spellcasters in the battle on the operation of the magic net.

In addition to experience and knowledge, the concept of fighting also makes Xia Duo feel very happy!

Similar to Xia Duo's concept, the two opponents' main goals are to remove the opponent's protective spells and restrict the opponent's actions. Of course, this is at the offensive level, as well as the defensive level.

As for directly harmful spells, [Biquge www.biqugex.biz] has never been seen casting them.

Xia Duo always believed that the essence of the battle between spellcasters did not lie in the harmful spells. As long as the opponent's protective spells were lifted and the opponent's mobility was restricted, even a very ordinary dagger would be enough to cause very serious damage. fatal injury.

Unless you have a natural fine gold body, all you need to do is give it a gentle push on the weakest link. Every creature has weaknesses.

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown called "Attack the enemy unprepared". In fact, it means to specifically attack the enemy's weakness. Knowing that the opponent is covered with shields and still attacking desperately is not stupid.

Wouldn't it be simpler to break the armor first and then attack?

In Xia Duo's eyes, the gorgeous fireball is far less practical than a seemingly inconspicuous magic removal or restriction spell.

...

In the half-plane battle space.

Stuart looked at the opponent's vague and erratic figure. The restriction spell was really difficult to lock, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. The most familiar thing about the Naise mage was the Yeerlan mage. The snow melting competition has never been interrupted for hundreds of years.

Stuart had already studied the fighting style of the Yeerlan mage thoroughly. He even participated in a snow melting competition in his early years. He was fully prepared before this competition, but the previous experience was still a certain distance from his expectations.

"I can't lose the first game!" Such a thought floated through Stuart's mind.

But in the high-intensity spell confrontation, the result of a slight distraction was that he failed to counter the opponent's restriction spell. His figure suddenly became a little heavy. Looking at the opponent again, his figure became more erratic, and even had a faint sign of disappearing.

This is not a good sign. Stuart knows it is not good, but he can't get rid of it for a while. This is due to the changes in the surrounding magic network environment, and it does not directly affect him.

Now that the disadvantage is obvious, there is only one choice to fight back-

Deploy part of the magic network string of the source of the arcane fire to replace the surrounding magic network and form a more favorable field for himself. If it is a real battle, Stuart will certainly not use this method.

Because the expansion of the arcane fire is beneficial to himself, but it means that the enemy can also attack the arcane fire. Maybe it is only the loss of part of the magic network string, but it may even hurt the source of the arcane fire.

But now in this first duel, how can Stuart lose? In order to win, he is willing to pay a certain price for it.
