Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Teacher, why does water have the ability to heal?"

Seraphine watched Draven's wounds healed by green raindrops, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Of the four elements, only water is associated with healing, but it is clear that the two have little to do with each other.

"What is the most abundant element in the human body?" Ryan asked.

"water!"

Seraphine blurted out, and a look of thought appeared on her face.

She used to think that the most in the human body is flesh and bones, and has nothing to do with the elements.

Until Ryan, in front of her, draws a lot of water from the blood...

Only then did she understand why her teacher said that the most abundant element in the human body is water.

The blood in the enemy's body is the most powerful weapon of the water mage.

"The human body not only contains water in the blood, but also in the muscles and skin. The treatment of injuries requires the infiltration of life energy into the body. Water is the best carrier of the four elements."

Ryan gestured to the green raindrops scattered by the sky and explained in a teaching tone:

"The second-order water spell - Raindrop of Life, there is only one rune used to treat injuries, and the special type of 'recovery'. The other three are related to water, in order to allow the life energy in the raindrops to penetrate the skin and use the liquid to flow. The whole body injury can be treated quickly.”

"So water is not therapeutic, but it is the best carrier." Seraphine suddenly realized.

"It can be said that." Ryan nodded slightly. "In comparison, the light attribute is also a good carrier because of its strong penetrability, and sometimes it is even better than water."

The essence of magic is the use and understanding of nature.

Knowing how to use can not be regarded as a real mage, only if you fully understand the essence of magic, can you be called a mage.

As he and Syndra learned more about runes, the more they could understand the phrase 'to understand the runes is to understand the magic'.

They created the rune magic system, not only to allow those incompetent magic talents to have better performance, but also to allow individual magic talents to bloom with their own brilliance.

After learning the rune magic system, as long as there is a genius among thousands of mages, it is enough to support the future, and the brilliance of magic will become more and more brilliant.

The Freljord relied on the power of ice, and Shurima prospered through the Ascension.

So why can't Noxus create its own magical civilization...

"Your task now is to release first, and then understand each magic. Try to disassemble the spell model, understand the meaning of the rune, and understand why it is constructed in this way." Ryan reminded.

Now Seraphine is like a piece of uncut jade that needs to be polished continuously.

"Understood!"

Seraphine nodded, watching the two Dravens below recover from their injuries, and a new round of testing began.

Dozens of water-blue orbs surrounded Ms. Syndra, transformed into different runes, combined with each other, and cast out various water-based magics.

The dazzling magic dazzled her and the rest of the audience.

Other mages only use a few moves back and forth.

What element in the body, what power is released.

Even the method of casting spells is extremely fixed. At most, with the growth of magic power, the power of magic release is greater, and the scope of the spell is wider.

Today, Syndra's display was an eye-opener for them.

Diversity.

This is the audience's first impression of the magic that Syndra unleashes.

So many different spells can be derived from water magic alone.

Healing, direct attack, defense, restraint, curse, manipulation...,

A lot of magic covers all aspects, and the effects of many magic are simply beyond their imagination.

For example, in the current arena, a water mirror appears out of thin air, and two figures made of water come out of the water mirror.

One person holds the arm guard and can spray water jets. The other person is holding two sharp water axes, spinning and ready to go.

Not only the weapons, but the appearance and size of the two watermen are similar to the two Draven.

The battle began, the axe blades clashed, the water column and the arcane shot collided, blooming beautiful colors in the air.

In the fierce battle, the water man is not weak at all, and because the water is soft and difficult to break, it is more difficult to deal with than the flesh.

"Magic!! Magic!!"

"Noxus!"

"..."

Audiences sympathized with what happened to the Draven duo, but that didn't stop them from applauding Syndra's magic.

They all clearly understand the strength of Draven, and it is precisely because of this understanding that they can better appreciate the power of the mage in the sky.

Draven is much stronger than them, and Syndra is much stronger than Draven and Gaizreal combined.

All-round suppression is not like a gladiatorial fight at all, but more like a magic test...

"That's how it is..."

Listening to the audience's fanatical pursuit of magic, Seraphine woke up.

No wonder my two teachers are willing to come to the arena.

It's not that the two of them have changed their tempers. Everything they did was for magic.

She had seen quite a few people filming with a Hex camera, and Seraphine could have predicted that what happened today would definitely be publicized.

All this should be in the calculation of their teachers.

After today, there will be a maddening pursuit of magic in Noxus, as opposed to a kingdom next door that is chaotic because of the ban on magic.

"Teacher, can the talent of the mage only depend on innateness?"

She quickly thought of a problem. The mage talent is almost one in a hundred, and many have changed careers because of talent, or died prematurely because of danger.

There are too few talented mages, and my teacher must have thought of this as well.

"Magic talent can be acquired, but it costs a lot of money. Most people don't have that value. And there are very few valuable people who have their own opportunities and ideas." Ryan shook his head.

Just like Orianna and Victor, even though they were not born with a talent for magic, they still relied on their own talent to go a long way on the road of magic.

Noxus needs this kind of talent, and it needs to develop this kind of talent.

His deep eyes seemed to pass through the walls of the arena and saw the interior of the immortal fortress, the Noxians walking on the streets, and the children with laughter and sunshine:

"Everyone is worth looking forward to, but the resources Noxus occupies are too few. Books, teachers, magic materials, magic items, places of experience..."

"That's because the teacher's requirements are too high." Seraphine muttered.

She was nurtured in this way by her own teacher, and she naturally knew the cost.

Just the Soul Stealing Scroll given by his teacher, most mages have never even seen it.

Not to mention that there are various daily refreshing medicines, which greatly improve her efficiency.

"We don't have much time, and I hope we can do this before Noxus and Runeterra are in crisis."

Ryan sat upright on the seat, his eyes shot straight to the sky, as if he saw something unknown to others.

"Teacher, I believe we can do it." Seraphine had a serious face, although she didn't know what the teacher was talking about.

While the teacher and apprentice were chatting, the two Draven below were already miserable.

"Damn, why do I always feel like I can win."

Ezreal fired an arcane shot to disperse the water man, with a strange look on his face.

Although he was panting like a cow and almost drained his body's biological energy, he finally won.

Every time he thought he was dying, but when he let go, he was able to press the water man to fight.

This made him involuntarily raise a suspicion, doubting whether the water man was empty, but he was not much stronger than him.

Draven hit the water man with an axe, gasping for breath.

He just glanced at Ezreal lightly, and didn't even have the energy to speak.

In fact, he also felt the same, not only the water man, but even Syndra's every attack was far less powerful than before.

But even so, he was certain that what Brother Ezreal was thinking was definitely an illusion.

Obviously he was fighting with two watermen alone, and Ezreal certainly felt that he could win, just send a few arcane shots from a distance.

This requires two identical watermen to win a ball!

If it wasn't for Syndra's release of water, the more the spells were fused with the runes, the more powerful they would be, and they would have been instantly killed by magic.

"The next wave should come." Ezreal said with a headache.

He really doesn't want to fight anymore, but he's already here. Isn't it too embarrassing to surrender?

Maybe as long as he works hard, he can drain the opponent's magic power.

Draven paused for a while, looked up at Syndra with nearly a hundred runes fused with each other, and swallowed inexplicably.

Dozens of previous ones were a bit unbearable, now is it...

"Ms. Syndra's spells don't seem to be as strong as they started."

Seraphine was also a little strange. When Syndra began to release spells of the fifth rank and above, the strength did not increase but decreased.

"Because she is not good at water, if she casts dark spells, fifth-order magic can destroy a city." Ryan said lightly.

With the increase in the rune tandem, Syndra's energy is a little bit unable to keep up.

There's nothing wrong with casting spells successfully, but overclocking spellcasting is difficult.

Ryan could see that Syndra was going to cast seventh-order spells, but at present, with her understanding of water runes, she could only use standard spell models to successfully cast spells.

But even so, 128 runes activated the burst of energy at the same time, enough to shock the entire immortal fortress.

"Roar!"

A huge water-blue dragon head slowly emerged in the sky, making a fierce roar.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon neck, dragon body, dragon wings, dragon claws, and dragon tail appeared one by one, and the illusory dragon body slowly turned into reality.

Scales began to grow on the dragon's body formed of water, and pieces of dark blue dragon scales exuded a cold glow under the sunlight.

"Dragon...Dragon???"

Ezreal opened his mouth wide and looked up at the sky in shock.

Oh, Targon! How can magic still summon dragons?

Piltover's technology to create mechanical dragons is exaggerated enough.

How can hundreds of runes be combined to form a water dragon nearly 100 meters long.

"Ha ha..."

Draven's hand that turned the axe stopped, letting the two flying axes fall to the ground, and twitched the corners of his mouth with an ugly expression.

In front of this water dragon, they are like two ants.

They don't need to do too much movement, just press down with the body, and they will be crushed into a pulp.

The dozens of rune fusion spells in the past could still be blocked, but the giant dragon in front of him is not a mighty force that mortals like them can touch.

"Roar!!!"

The water dragon raised a roar in the sky, and the spiral water flow in his mouth condensed, as if to attack.

In the face of such a behemoth, not to mention the two people fighting below, the audience in the arena was stunned.

They only heard how powerful magic is, but even if the gods are defeated by magic, it is just a vague concept.

All the stories I heard did not have the shock of seeing the water dragon in the sky with my own eyes.

The body of nearly 100 meters almost covered the entire area of ​​the arena, the sky light was blocked, and the position they were sitting could feel a shade of shade.

They had no doubts that the water dragon's poised attack could turn the entire arena to the ground.

"Magic! This is magic!"

Suddenly a barbarian warrior stood up excitedly and couldn't help shouting loudly.

His behavior seemed to resonate with others.

No matter where the audience came from, even from the forbidden Demacia, they all stood up and looked at the sky frantically.

It seems that for them, the miraculous magic above is their lifelong pursuit.

Such a god-like might is the goal of joining Noxus.

"Buzz!"

The water dragon raised its head, and the vortex-like torrent swept past the floating castle and shot straight into the sky.

The Immortal Fortress and the surrounding people stopped their work and stared blankly at the water column that reached the sky and the majestic dragon body that could be vaguely seen.

The torrent flew so high that it exploded among the clouds.

The clouds and fog were swept away by the aftermath and completely turned into fly ash.

The blue water column spread out in the sky, turned into raindrops all over the sky and poured down, offering a drizzle to the entire immortal fortress.

The falling of raindrops is accompanied by sunshine, and a rainbow of seven colors hangs high above the floating castle. Beautiful, like a fairyland.

Click!

Ezreal had a hex camera in his hand at some point, and pressed the shutter button hard.

He had given up resistance long ago. Facing such a spell, lying flat is the best choice.

Well, he is still young, and he still has time to kill these people!

In the future, he will definitely be the protagonist of this world!

But... Ezreal looked at the water dragon and thought...

He felt that he should go to Mr. President of Parliament while he was young and ask himself if he had any talent for magic.

maybe...

Delevingne's movements were also unusually sluggish. He threw the Hex flying axe in his hand, and shouted and cheered up to the sky:

"Representative Syndra!!! Noxus!!!"

His voice made many audiences come back to their senses, and they followed him and began to shout Syndra's name, cheering for the mighty power he showed.

The sound is so loud that it can be heard even in the immortal fortress.

At the same time, more and more Noxians were shouting the name and learning what had just happened.

Syndra floated on top of the water faucet, her dragon wings flapped, and her figure and the giant dragon rose slowly under the sunlight.

Floating Castle, Water Dragon, Syndra...

All those around the immortal fortress could see the miraculous sight of the sky and the woman standing on the dragon head.

They could feel an overwhelming magical pressure coming from above, and almost everyone could not help but feel a fear in their hearts.

But the Noxians didn't hate this feeling, instead they looked up at the sky, calling Syndra's honorific title again in various ways.

Cheer for it, shout for it, pay the highest respect for it.

"Ionia, see? True power never needs to be suppressed!"

After Syndra whispered, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his arms slowly opened, and he shouted loudly at the bottom:

"I am magic!"

In an instant, a cold female voice came into everyone's ears, causing everyone to feel dazed.

They seemed to see the figure who fought against the spirit of Ionia;

They seem to be seen challenging the gods for Noxus;

They seemed to recall the dark orb that suppressed the entire immortal fortress when the Floating Castle appeared that day.

The name of Syndra is deeply imprinted in their hearts...

When they came back to their senses, the water dragon in the sky had dissipated, and the figure disappeared.

Only the rainbow hanging high in the floating castle is still radiating brilliance.

Ryan looked at the beauty in the sky with a smile in his eyes.

Seraphine seemed to realize something, glanced at her two teachers, and sighed in a low voice:

"The perfect stage is really enviable."
