I became the master of the alien world

Chapter 280 The duel begins (2)

"No, although actual combat experience is very important, this is definitely not the reason why Edward fell behind. His opponent had advanced defensive enchantments." Merlin shook his head and said.

"Boundary?! Then why didn't I feel the magic aura on that person? He should be a pure warrior." Luke immediately questioned Merlin's words.

"No, that barrier was not set up by that person. It was a barrier that someone put on him in advance. Although it is well hidden, it is indeed a barrier that wants to be high-level."

Just as Merlin said, Edward was also confused. Several times his opponent did not deliberately resist his strong attacks, but in the end Edward's sword would deviate from his expected position for some unknown reason.

"Boy, you are very strong. But it is impossible for you to defeat me now." The man once again dodged Edward's sword in disbelief and said, "Let your fellow magicians come with you."

"No, I'm just one person. Even if I lose, I, Edward, don't want to take advantage of others." Edward said while trying to fend off the man's subsequent counterattack, although his skills added a lot of wounds when he spoke.

At this time, the man stabbed Edward with his sword again. Edward was about to block with his sword, but someone was one step ahead of him. A ball of flames hit the man's sword accurately, forcing the man's attack back.

"What he said is right. As a warrior, it is impossible for you to defeat him." The one who took action was actually Merlin, who had been watching with cold eyes.

"Don't disturb my fight with him." Edward was not happy when he saw Merlin helping, but became even more angry.

"Soul Barrier, Star Protection, these two advanced defense combination enchantments of the light system should be the masterpieces of Teacher Hain.

I didn’t expect His Highness Brant, the Star Knight, to be interested in the mercenary fighting competition." Merlin seemed to ignore Edward's words, and still said to the man calmly.

The man in black was stunned for a moment after hearing Merlin's words, and then immediately laughed: "Hahahaha, I didn't expect someone to see through it so quickly. He is indeed the genius of the Great Mage of the Silent Temple, Merlin Halluto.

.His Royal Highness Mahabalu must be in good health recently."

"Master is fine now. But why did His Highness Brant..."

"Ah, I didn't plan to come here originally. But I can't help it because I was asked to do it!"

At this time, the entire arena was in an uproar. The powerful man in black in front of him turned out to be the first warrior of the Freedom Alliance, Star Knight Brant. But the most unhappy person at this time was Edward who was left alone.

"Hey, you two, stop waggling around on the side, it's a competition now. Merlin, I don't care who that person is, as long as you don't interfere with my opponent."

"Boy, your spirit is indeed commendable, but the magic barrier I have set up cannot be broken by fighting spirit. Unless you use the power of magic, your sword will never be able to hit me. Although this barrier has a time limit,

But it will take at least ten days for it to disappear automatically."

"but……"

"Okay, don't say any more. This time you and Merlin attack me together. Otherwise, if I defeat you, it will just be the elder bullying the younger. Let's do it!" Brent didn't care what Edward had to say and immediately attacked.

Cut him off.

"Cover me." Merlin simply said and immediately started chanting high-level magic.

Edward glanced at Merlin, and unwillingly raised his sword and attacked Brant. However, he had no idea of ​​protecting Merlin to let him complete the magic. All he thought about was that he was determined to use his own strength to defeat the opponent in front of him.

At this time, Brandt was obviously not in the mood to get entangled with Edward. After all, magic posed a far greater threat to him than fighting spirit, not to mention that Merlin was still a great wizard-level magician.

The two of them fought for less than two rounds. Brant deliberately used a loophole to let Edward swing his sword in the air. Taking advantage of this gap, he got rid of Edward's entanglement and rushed towards Merlin with his sword.

But at this time Merlin didn't panic at all, because his magic was already ready.

"In the name of the Wind Elf, please blow away all the barriers! Hurricane Tear!" Tornado Tear is a high-level wind magic. Although its lethality is much inferior to other magics of the same level, it is unique.

Destroys enchantments and magic effects.

Merlin's intention in using this magic was very clear. He wanted to destroy the advanced defensive barrier attached to Brant first, so that Edward's martial arts could be used to their maximum power.

Because if the opponent cannot easily restrain the power of his own warriors, then it will be difficult for a magician to gain much advantage in front of high-level warriors in this small space.

But it is a pity that although the speed of his magic preparation surprised Brandt, it did not have the expected effect.

Just when the magic was about to hit Brant, Edward jumped between Brant and the magic, and the whirlwind hit Edward's back!

Although it didn't cause much damage, it still knocked Edward flying to the side.

However, Brant took advantage of Edward being accidentally knocked away and forced himself to Merlin's side, raising his sword to strike at Merlin.

Fortunately, Merlin has always been very calm and released four or five low-level wind blades and fireballs in a row to force Brant back.

At this time, Edward regained his composure and raised his sword to strike at Brant again, and then Merlin continued to prepare advanced magic.

But this process was actually repeated three times in a short period of time. When Merlin's whirlwind tear hit Edward here, Edward finally couldn't bear it and exploded.

"Which side do you think has the upper hand? I have been able to gain the upper hand several times, but you have disturbed me every time. If you are deliberately trying to make things difficult for me, then simply don't help me."

Merlin ignored Edward and just snorted and said to himself: "I don't know which idiot he is. He just likes to bump into magic eggs. He messed up the whole battle and keeps shirking responsibility."

Although Merlin's words were not loud, they were just enough for Edward to hear them clearly. This also made the duo, who had little cooperation in the first place, become even more confused.

Often it was Merlin's magic that blocked Edward's attack, and then Edward's fighting spirit just blocked Merlin's inevitable magic. The whole battle became chaotic.

"No, there is no tacit understanding between the two of them." Luke said with a wry smile as he looked at this awkward battle situation.

"What does it mean that there is no tacit understanding? The two of them are simply looking for trouble with each other.

It is in line with the saying, 'Two smart people working together are not as good as one mediocre person.'"

Xilu on the other side shook his head and said, he could hardly stand it anymore.
