Lord of Arcane

Chapter 516

The first one to appear is Xia Duo's acquaintance - the Arcanist Stuart from the Moraine Tower. He not only participated in the [Arcane Puzzle], but even participated in the [Spell Showdown].

When training the chess routines for Stuart and the others, Xia Duo knew that seven of the ten arcanists from the Seven Towers also participated in the [Spell Showdown].

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, that is——

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

This is unacceptable to many people. After all, no one knows whether there will be enemies who will use these to deal with them. Only a spellcaster with someone behind him dares to be so bold.

As far as Xia Duo knew, the ten arcanists who participated in the [Spell Showdown] were all from the Seven Towers, and even in an indirect battle like [Arcane Puzzle], there were only three arcanists who were not from the Seven Towers.

Arcanists from the Seven Towers are not necessarily stronger than Arcanists from other places. There are only three Arcanists who are not from the Seven Towers. Is it just because the snowmelt competition has just been opened to non-Seven Towers Arcanists this year?
Conservatism is everywhere and, of course, danger is everywhere.

Xia Duo watched silently as Stuart selected a Yeerlan elf, and then both of them stepped onto the arena in the center of the arena at the same time, and a miraculous scene happened——

When they fully stepped onto the arena, it was as if they had entered another world. Their entire bodies began to gradually shrink, giving the impression that they were getting smaller, but at the same time, the relevant details were not lost.

You can still see their full picture, even clearer than when they were outside the battle stage.

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

"On the battle stage is a small half-plane that overlaps with the main plane. The actual distance between the two opponents is more than 200 meters! However, for our viewing convenience, Your Excellency the Great Arcanist made some small details on this small half-plane. Small tweaks."

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

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

He heard El Carmon's "ready" in his ear, and at the same time there was a strange flickering phenomenon in the demiplane, Stuart knew that the game had started.

He unhurriedly applied all kinds of protective spells to himself, whether it was the real protective spells used to resist absorbing damage, or the recharge spells used to counteract [dispelling magic].

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

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

Outside, inside the arena.

Stuart raised his hand to signal that everyone could see it, and not only their physical movements, but also all the spells in the preliminary stage were displayed in front of everyone one by one.

Perhaps it was due to the special setting of the demiplane on the battle stage. Even if he was far away, Xia Duo could still see all the details of the opponent's spells from the auditorium.

Of course, only the fifth level of the magic net was reached at most, and the details at a deeper level could not be seen.

But even so, Xia Duo has gained a lot, at least he knows the state of other arcanists when they cast spells; a spell, what are the rules for dismantling its element units; and some unfamiliar spells that he either understands or does not understand .

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

This sense of ambivalence in spatial information cognition is simply dizzying.

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

Changes in the magic net go!
Whether it was the reconstruction of the magic net in the arena or the special setting of the demiplane, Xia Duo greedily absorbed the experience of the two spellcasters who were fighting in 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 main goals of the two opponents are to remove the opponent's protective spells and restrict the opponent's actions. Of course, this is on the offensive level and on the defensive level.

As for the direct damage spells, they have never been seen to cast them.

Xia Duo always believes that the essence of a spellcaster's battle does not lie in the harmful spells one by one. As long as the opponent's protective spells are removed and the opponent's mobility is restricted, even a very ordinary dagger is enough to cause very serious damage. fatal injury.

Unless it has a natural pure gold body, otherwise, it only needs to push gently on the most vulnerable link, and any creature has weaknesses.

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown called "Attacking the Unprepared". In fact, it means to specifically attack the enemy's weakness. Knowing that the opponent's body is full of shields, but still attacking desperately, this is not what it is.

Isn't it easier to break the armor first and then attack?

In Xia Duo's eyes, a gorgeous big fireball is far less practical than a seemingly inconspicuous dispelling or restricting spell.

……

The half-plane faces the battle space.

Stuart looked at the blurred and erratic figure of the other party. It was really difficult to lock the restricted spells, so he couldn't help but feel a little impatient. The Nether mages knew the most about them.

Stuart has studied the fighting style of Mage Ye Erlan thoroughly. He even participated in a snowmelt competition in his early years. There is still a certain distance.

"You can't just lose the first game!" Such a thought floated in Stuart's mind.

But in the high-intensity spell confrontation, the result of being slightly distracted was that he was unable to counter the opponent's restriction spell, and his figure suddenly became a little heavy. When he looked at the opponent again, his figure became more erratic, and even faintly showed signs of disappearing.

This is not a good sign. Stuart knew it was bad, but he couldn't get rid of it for a while. This was due to the changes in the surrounding magic net environment, and it didn't directly affect him.

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

Unfolding part of the strings of the magic net from the root of the Austrian fire, replacing the surrounding magic nets, to form a field that is more beneficial to oneself. If it is a real battle, Stuart will certainly not use this method.

Because the Austrian fire spreads out, although it is beneficial to oneself, it means that the enemy can also attack the Austrian fire. Maybe it is only a part of the loss of the string of the magic net, but it will even seriously damage the root of the Austrian fire.

But now this first duel, how could Stuart lose, in order to win, he was willing to pay a certain price for it.
