Mage? Spell Engineer!

Paul walked towards Rorschach. He had put down his bow and picked up the arrows that had lost the blessing of divine light.

"It's amazing." Saying this, "The Marksman of Garsiccone" looked at the arrow over and over again and rubbed the traces of runes on it, as if he was a little disappointed.

Paul regained his composure. He was about the same age as Rorschach. When he looked at his senior brother who was the same age but was already an intermediate mage, an idea emerged uncontrollably.

Paul took out the Evil-Breaking Blade bound to a short handle, which was equivalent to a dagger or a short knife. He raised the handle and waved it twice, and then issued a challenge: "Master Rorschach, shall we test the next weapon?"

Rorschach saw what the militant was thinking: "You will be the sword holder to fight against me?"

Paul nodded: "Yes, I want to challenge you. Of course, you don't mind if I take the guy in the battle between the apprentice and the intermediate mage, right?"

"Of course, I only use magic, and you can cast spells and use the current Evil-Breaking Blade, but you need to set a rule that we can both accept."

Rorschach didn't know what spells the other party had mastered. According to the empire's academy standards, mastering about five low-level spells would be enough. However, the education in the apprenticeship stage of the Magic Tower was much more advanced than that of the academy.

But of course he will not be timid. In fact, if he thinks about it carefully, Rorschach has never fought against a spell caster. His opponents are only gangsters and blessed knights, or they are disabled gods.

He took a good look at his opponent. At this time, the "Battle Mage" had already adopted a knife-fighting stance, and seemed to be planning to use the Evil-Breaking Blade as a means of attack. However, due to the close distance between the two, Rorschach relied on his orange-level "magic control" to feel that the cunning boy was secretly mobilizing the ether in the environment to prepare spells.

Kano thought for a while, and based on the tradition of mage duels, he put forward his opinion: "Rorschach's 'divine power dissipation' requires preparation time and has a casting range, right?

Then the rules are very simple. I designate a venue, and you fight in the venue. If Master Rorschach destroys the Holy Light blessing of the Evil-Breaking Blade, Master Rorschach wins; if Apprentice Paul uses the Evil-Breaking Blade to hurt Master Rorschach, then Paul wins. "

He thought for a while and then added: "Except for Paul's Evil-Breaking Blade, no other magic props or spell-casting materials can be used in battle.

I have brought a recovery spell scroll with me. Rorschach cannot cause fatal injuries to Paul. If anyone is injured, I will treat him as soon as possible and remember to pay. "

This rule also takes into account the gap between the two. The victory condition set for Rorschach is to destroy the Holy Light to prevent him from causing excessive damage to the apprentice. Not being allowed to use spellcasting materials is equivalent to restricting Rorschach from using advanced magic.

As for the judgment method on Paul's side, firstly, it limits the way he can win, and secondly, this evil-breaking blade has been used twice, and the effect is declining. Even if Rorschach is hit, Kano judged that the recovery scroll can still Perfect treatment.

While reshaping a circular battle arena with a diameter of about ten meters, Kano asked both parties: "Do you two accept it?"

Rorschach had no objection to the rules, except for one thing: "Any damage caused is my responsibility." Rorschach was disdainful of the master's charging for the healing scroll. Anyway, his [Forest of Dryats] also had a healing effect.

Even if you are cut by the evil-breaking blade, [Expulsion Technique] can remove the enchantment effect and complete the treatment.

However, these words sounded like harsh words to other people's ears, especially Mr. Philippe de Merowinga. He was very excited about this battle, and he didn't know that he was expecting Rorschach, who had once bloody tortured him, in front of the "tactics of war". Although he was overturned and defeated, he still looked forward to seeing others be defeated by Luo Xia's move, proving that it was not that he was too weak but that this kid was too strong.

Paul was ready to go, and Rorschach was not a nobleman who paid attention to etiquette. The mid-level mage took the initiative to distance himself and signaled that he was ready.

"Then start three, two, one!"

As soon as Kano finished speaking, Paul and Rorschach acted at the same time. Paul rushed forward to try to close the distance with the target, and his spell was ready to be released.

In order to prevent Rorschach's "Divine Power Dissipation Technique" from hitting the dagger, Paul planned to use his body to block his right hand, then rush sideways and release the spell [Acid Splash] at the same time.

He had also thought carefully about choosing this spell. If it were attacked by other energy or projectiles, the opponent would most likely directly use protective magic to resist it. However, regardless of whether the acid hit or not, the corrosiveness after it splashed would force Rorschach. The displacement gave him opportunities to approach and thrust, and more importantly, Paul aimed at Rorschach's head - he could use the green slurry to block the opponent's sight.

The preparation of the spell has been completed. This trick that he is familiar with is the strength that suits his fighting style. In order to be able to suddenly practice skills that do not require large-scale casting movements and chanting.

At this moment, he took a big step with his legs, almost bouncing out in the air, pulling Rorschach into the distance between the spell and the thrust of the Evil-Breaking Blade in his back hand. If the spectator stands behind Rorschach, he will also see that the trajectory of Paul's body is not a straight line, but an arc, trying to avoid Rorschach's attack.

"Huh?" Just when Paul thought that the opponent would misjudge his attack method and succeed in his strategy, an invisible impact suddenly erupted to the left side of his body.

Intermediate mages do have spell-casting actions, but there are no visible rays, projectiles, or phenomena caused by sound, light, water, fire, and electricity.

At this moment, Paul could clearly feel that it was like a torrent of hailstones washing over him. Not only did the prepared [acid splash] fail, but his brain also felt like being pricked by needles and blunt blows. The two types of pain were mixed together.

If he had enough experience in casting spells, he might know that this was the mental backlash after the magic was interrupted.

That's right, Rorschach used [Forbidden Demon Scream]. Of course, he did not use the oscillating crystal powder illegally. Instead, he analyzed the "magic condensation" frequency band and released the recoil interference in a targeted manner.

"Magic Condensation" is the first casting step of many spells, and it is usually the most time-consuming step among low-level spells. Therefore, the [Forbidden Magic Scream] aimed at it can still play a practical role even if it does not rely on oscillating crystal powder.

The improved spell has many benefits. For example, compared with an out-of-control crystal bursting out ether impact, hurting others and yourself, and for example, a spell focusing on a frequency band consumes less ether.

The young man easily interrupted Paul's "quietly" prepared spell. Although Rorschach did not know what "little surprise" the other party had prepared, since he was in a ready state, he needed to continuously condense the ether to maintain it.

Therefore, "Ban the Demon" was successful.

In Paul's shock, Rorschach immediately launched a second spell. The gap in spellcasting between apprentices and intermediate mages was once again reflected. Paul's most familiar attack spell still took a long time to prepare, but Rorschach started to cast the next spell at the same time as [Forbidden Scream] was released.

If there was no backlash caused by the first interruption of the opponent, Rorschach's second spell might not be able to be completed under Paul's sudden advance, but obviously the opponent could not stop it at this time. He saw Rorschach raising his left hand and pointing at himself. .

"game over."
