Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1401 Savile's Return and Sudden Battle
Although Niya said that it might be Savile who came back, Xia Duo still maintained full vigilance. The Tower of Time was originally designed by Savile and a considerable part was built.

Except for the undiscovered summoning circle, no one can be sure if there are other hidden hands. Savile has disappeared for nearly a hundred years, and no one can guarantee that he is still the original him.

In addition to temperament, maybe even the inner, human nature may be changed!

"Niya, are you sure it's your great-grandfather?"

"No, but besides him, who else would appear in the Tower of Time in this way?"

Seeing Nya's expectant look, Xia Duo couldn't help but secretly sighed. He knew that the reason why Nya was looking forward to Savile's return was not because of how much Nya loved her great-grandfather whom she had never met. emotion.

But because of Niya's father - Epps.

Two full years have passed since Epps entered the stasis of the Tower of Time. Xia Duo didn't feel much about this state of immortality, but it was impossible for Niya to forget it.

However, after becoming a great arcanist, Xia Duo also went to see Epps at the request of Niya, but Epps contained aging tissues related to the soul.

More importantly, Epps delayed entering the stasis room two years ago in order to arrange his funeral. If it had been earlier, Xia Duo might still have a way.

But now, as long as Epps' stasis state is lifted, he will not live long at all, and stasis state cannot be treated by magic.

There was no way for Xia Duo to both lift the curse and repair the loss of soul in such a short period of time after lifting the stasis state.

In his view, Epps can only continue to smuggle into the future to find possible treatment opportunities. As long as he is still alive, the future has unlimited possibilities.

But Niya may not be able to bear it for so long. After knowing that there was a change in the exploration layer of the plane, her excitement was completely written on her face.

But now, what Xia Duo is most worried about is not the invasion of foreign enemies, or Savile's inability to save Epps, but that the one who came back is indeed Savile from before, but his mentality has completely changed, ignoring family affection at all.

If that's the case, let alone whether Epps can be saved, but whether he and Niya can get out of the Tower of Time alive is a question.

Savile had been silent before, and Xia Duo could still pretend that this problem did not exist, and only regarded the guiding signs here as a psychological comfort for Niya.

But it is very likely that Savile appeared on the summoning circle now, so this question is hard to avoid.

……

As the illusory figures on the summoning circle gradually became solid, Xia Duo's heart became more and more tense. He wrapped his arms around Niya and firmly led her back a few steps.

Then slowly unfold the Arcane Fire, covering and encroaching on the surrounding normal magic nets with the miniature magic nets under his control, thus creating a more favorable environment for casting spells.

Niya noticed Xia Duo's actions, but she didn't say anything against it. At this moment, she almost put all her thoughts on the person who was about to appear in the summoning circle.

"Om-"

The magic net oscillated passively at high frequency for the last time, and the figures in the magic circle were completely solidified. Xia Duo knew that this was the moment, and without any hesitation, he manipulated the surrounding magic net to lower a calm field.

At the same time, another stasis field is also ready to go. This spell has only been upgraded to level 9 by him. This was done when he prepared the David string in the Iolum laboratory at the beginning of the month.

The 10th ring is more complicated, and it is difficult to improve the quality simply by accumulating energy levels. For now, the 9th ring is almost enough.

If the person appearing in the summoning circle is touched by these two spells, there is definitely no room for resistance, but it is a pity that the person who comes is not only skilled in casting spells, but also very experienced in the application of spell principles and the reserve of spell elements.

Almost at the moment when the calming field descended, he launched the Austrian Fire, squeezed out a bit of breathing room in this extremely unfavorable environment.

Immediately afterwards, they launched a very targeted attack on the stagnant field that Xia Duo hadn't fully prepared, often hitting key elements.

As the saying goes, "Creation is far more difficult than destruction", soon, Xia Duo's spell will be unsustainable, and what's worse, before he can dissipate the rest of the spell elements that will be used but destroyed to a discrete state, These spell elements have been controlled by the opponent.

At this moment, Xia Duo was sure that even if the opponent was not Savile, he must be a very powerful arcanist.

Under such circumstances, Xia Duo also had to admit that he had underestimated the opponent, thinking that only two spells and the home environment would be enough to win the opponent, but the opponent taught him a lesson very vividly.

What Xia Duo had to do now was the same as what the previous comers had to do—destroy the opponent's upcoming spell, and wait for the opportunity to attack.

As a result, the scene immediately froze. Fortunately, Xia Duo was slightly superior in spell composition and macro layout, so he was not defeated by the comer with his skilled skills, rich experience, and more powerful Austrian fire.

But the situation is not so optimistic. As long as the opponent is smart enough, he can continuously obtain the specific attributes of unfamiliar spell elements during the fight, and integrate them into his own knowledge system.

In such a close and decisive spell duel, it is almost difficult to encrypt one's own spell-casting operations, and more importantly——

Unless one side moves away immediately, it is almost impossible for this anxious battle to stop naturally. Whoever stops first may be instantly hit by the opponent's spell.

But Xia Duo couldn't escape, if he escaped, wouldn't he give up the Tower of Time.

And his opponent seemed to be desperate at the moment, and he didn't have any intention of backing down at all, which made Xia Duo a little bit hard to get off.

……

However, Xia Duo, who was concentrating on the magic duel, might have forgotten that there was a third person in the preparation teleportation hall on the plane exploration layer at this time.

Perhaps it was precisely because he subconsciously knew the existence of this third person that he dared to give it a go.

At this moment, Niya finally realized that one of the two people in the battle was her husband, and the other was suspected to be her great-grandfather. No matter which of them was damaged or even died, she didn't want to see them.

As a result, the defense mechanism originally designed to prevent the enemies from the other plane from counterattacking from the portal during the exploration of the plane was finally activated belatedly.

In just an instant, the turmoil in the magic net caused by the battle between the two of Xia Duo was completely calmed down.

In this powerful spell suppression field, although Xia Duo can still cast spells with his own Arcane Fire, it is also affected a lot. The most notable point is that at the same time, the casting distance is greatly reduced, which can only affect his miniature magic net.

This made him unable to interfere with the opponent's spellcasting, that is to say——

In this case, if the two want to continue fighting, they must use complete spells with undetermined actual effects to attack and defend, and cannot attack and defend at the level of spell elements.

This makes the intensity of the battle drop sharply, but the level of danger rises sharply. If a certain key spell is not prevented, it may be defeated immediately.
