When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

"Can you give me an answer now? Sir Claude——"

Roswaal looked at the two people who seemed to have discussed it, with the same clown makeup on their faces.

"Okay, we promise you." Li Shanren said, "But there is a condition."

"Oh? I have to say, Sir Claude is really bold to put forward conditions at this time—" Roswaal said with a fake smile, "Then, let me hear your conditions for the time being."

"Let me see your strength and see if you are qualified to let me tell you everything." Li Shanren said without changing his expression.

As soon as these somewhat arrogant words fell, the air seemed to freeze and the surroundings fell into a slight silence.

There was a look of disgust in Ram's eyes, and then the violent wind elements gathered around her again.

"Lord Roswaal, you don't have to do anything. Even if I..."

"Okay Ram, you can't use that power right now."

Roswaal stopped him in an unquestionable tone, then he looked at Li Shanren, and the smile painted on his face curled up slightly.

"Mr. Claude, I have to say that your actions are really bold and surprising to me. In that case, I will fulfill your little wish."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked out the window.

Right now, the morning light is just breaking, and the sky is still tinged with a light red glow.

"Let's go outside. I don't want to destroy this mansion that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

......

Subaru Natsuki watched the three people walking away along the corridor, gritted his teeth, and was about to follow them.

At this moment, a gentle voice with a hint of worry sounded behind him.

"Subaru, what happened?"

When Subaru Natsuki turned around, he saw Emilia, still in her white pajamas, hurriedly walking down the stairs on the other side.

Looking at the angelic face and remembering the time when Ram furiously chased him, Subaru Natsuki suddenly felt a lump in his throat. He wondered if Emilia would think that Rem's death was related to him, just like Ram did.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing that Subaru Natsuki remained silent for a long time, Emilia walked up to him with concern and took a closer look at his dejected and somewhat helpless face.

Then she turned her head to look into Rem's room, and saw the blue-haired maid lying soundlessly on the bed.

"Rem...she...she..."

"She died of a curse."

The gray Scottish Fold kitten suddenly appeared on Emilia's shoulder, folded his arms, and spoke solemnly.

"How could this happen...Did someone attack the mansion? Where are Ram and Roswaal?" Emilia asked anxiously.

Subaru Natsuki sighed deeply and began to slowly explain what happened.

......

At the same time, Li Shanren and Roswaal had arrived in the forest outside the mansion.

Winter had just passed, and some light yellow-green leaves had just grown on the bare trees around.

Li Shanren held the meteorite staff in his right hand and stared solemnly at Roswaal, who was about a hundred steps away.

The pink-haired maid Ram was not nearby. She remained in the mansion, apparently observing the area from a distance using some kind of reconnaissance technique.

"Let's get started. You go first, and let me see your magic, how about that—"

Roswaal laughed with a long tone.

He put on a black high-collared cloak and tucked his hands under the hem, looking like he was not taking any protection.

Li Shanren's eyes focused, he raised his staff slightly, condensed a blue-green broom star, and threw it casually at Roswaal.

Looking at the strange magic meteor, Roswaal's eyes showed a little surprise, "Oh? This is a type of magic I've never seen before... It doesn't seem to belong to the six elements of earth, fire, wind, water, yin and yang--"

Seeing that the powerful meteor was about to hit his face, Roswaal slowly pulled his hands out from under his clothes and chanted, "Earth Barrier."

A magic barrier composed of pure earth elements appeared in front of him, blocking the flying broom star at the critical moment.

This scene was also seen by Li Shanren. He looked at the broom star that was blocked outside the barrier and had not yet dissipated, and his pupils shrank slightly.

As one of the highest-level magics of the Pyroxene magic faction, the greatest feature of the Broom Star is its unparalleled penetrating power. It seems that no matter what stands in its way, it will pass through it without exception.

Even a pure stone wall can be penetrated and attack the enemy behind the wall.

But now Roswaal blocked it with a magic barrier.

"It's very interesting magic. It's very offensive."

Roswaal stared at the blue-green meteor, and his hands seemed to increase the transmission of magic power, making the khaki barrier more solid and stable.

The broom star was like a stubborn fighting bull, clinging to the barrier tightly. After holding on for a few seconds, it seemed to have exhausted all its strength and turned into light dust and dissipated.

"So, is this your most powerful magic?" Roswaal asked with a clown smile, "Concentrate the magic power to the extreme, and then launch it, so that it has strong penetrating and destructive power. It's a very good idea--"

"If you increase the power of this magic a little more, I'm afraid that ordinary elemental shields will not be able to completely block it. Just based on this point, you are indeed at the Emerald level."

"Even if it's me, I can only counter it by consuming an equal amount of magic power and grinding it away. If I encounter many such magic meteors in succession, even I will have a headache—"

Roswaal commented very pertinently.

After saying that, six spherical objects with a diameter of two palms silently emerged behind him. The spheres, which seemed to be made of magic power, were of different colors, emitting yellow, red, green and blue light respectively, symbolizing the four basic magic elements of earth, fire, wind and water.

"Next, it's my turn—"

Roswaal raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a playful smile.

The next second, the four magic light balls behind him each shot out magic beams of corresponding colors, rushing towards Li Shanren like lightning.

On the way of flying, the four beams converged and merged together, condensing into a dazzling beam of light mixed with four colors, which contained terrible power, and even the space around it appeared slightly distorted.

Li Shanren's face changed.

If his broomstick merely tapped Roswaal lightly with a stick, the border marquis' counterattack was to pull out a mace and swing it hard at his head.

The intensity of the attacks launched by the two are not at the same level.

This made Li Shanren wonder if this sinister marquis wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

There was no time to think too much, not even time to dodge.

Li Shanren urgently activated the Spirit Shield Jade Ring, set up a Spirit Shield shield, and at the same time took out the hook equipped with the combat skill "Mist Raptor".

In an instant, a terrifying torrent of magic power hit the surface of the spirit shield, causing it to melt quickly like ice encountering boiling molten lava.

At the same time, the rune power in Li Shanren's body was also being consumed rapidly.

The spiritual shield lasted for seven or eight seconds before it shattered.

When the torrent arrived, Li Shanren instantly activated the "Mist Raptor", and his body turned into a ball of mist with fluttering black feathers, moving to the side.

After dodging the attack, Li Shanren reappeared and raised his hand to shoot three broom stars in succession at Roswaal.

"Whoosh whoosh—!"

Three broom stars hit Roswaal's earth barrier one after another, but considering the depth of his magic power, three broom stars were far from enough to consume all his magic power.

"Tsk... I think I've heard of that ring on your hand - the Soul Shield Emerald Ring made by Slater, which can simulate the elemental shield of an Emerald Grand Mage. However, if you can only rely on this kind of external force, even if you now have power comparable to the Emerald level, you will never be able to touch the higher level of the Holy Silver level in your lifetime."

Roswaal recognized the ring on Li Shanren's hand at a glance.

According to his knowledge, a master-level magic tool like the Spirit Shield Jade Ring is certainly not an unknown item.

Roswaal waved his hand to stop the terrifying four-color magic beam, and at the same time used his deep magical foundation to completely destroy the three broom stars.

At this time, a half-meter-deep gully had appeared on the ground, which was the trace left by the magic beam.

He looked at Li Shanren and continued, "There are always some lazy magicians who like to use external forces to master some abilities of the Emerald Level in advance, but people like you don't know that only those who truly master their own elemental shields can hold the key to the Holy Silver Level."

At this point, Roswaal raised his lips and said, "What I am going to tell you next is the real way to reach the Saint Silver level. This is a secret that many low- and middle-level magicians dream of. Anyway, the reason why you want to see my power is to figure out these things."

Li Shanren remained silent.

This was indeed what he wanted to know, because even the extraordinary knowledge related to the Emerald Level was rarely recorded in books, and the even more mysterious Holy Silver Level simply had a name in the books.

In addition, the abilities and promotion paths of the Holy Silver Level are not mentioned in any conventional supernatural books.

The big elf named "Parker" did not tell him the common sense in these areas.

Seeing that Li Shanren did not respond, Roswaal continued, "Many great magicians believe that the secret to becoming a holy magician lies in their magic spirits. After all, magic spirits are extraordinary creatures created by the lifelong knowledge and efforts of a low-level magician. They are the magician's best assistants, companions, and comrades--"

"At the same time, no magician dares to say that they fully understand their own magic spirits, so they desperately study their own magic spirits, hoping to get a glimpse of the higher-level magic secrets from them."

"As a living being born from the magician's own knowledge and heritage, the magic spirit is originally a part of the magician. No matter how much they study the magic spirit, they are only deepening their understanding of themselves, and it cannot be said that they are opening up a new path."

"In the path of magic, if you don't make truly groundbreaking moves, how can you get rewards enough to be promoted to a higher level?"

"We come into contact with the extraordinary at the gold level, understand the extraordinary at the emerald level, and truly become extraordinary at the holy silver level. Only when we reach the holy silver level can we truly touch the threshold of transcending this world. Those inferior people who can't even touch the threshold will only work hard on some boring things day after day, and don't understand the meaning of transcendence at all."

"The biggest difference between the Holy Mage and the Great Mage is that while they are still using their magic spirits to do their work, we have already truly made the world obey our orders completely, respect us as their master, and worship us as gods. Our power is no longer limited to the magic power in our bodies, but we rely on this world to create our own world."

"Now I will show you this world that belongs exclusively to the Holy Mage - the world we call 'the magic domain'."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roswaal slowly floated up from the ground and hovered in the air more than ten meters high. Then an invisible medium spread out from his body and instantly covered an area of ​​hundreds of meters.

"The field of skill..."

Li Shanren suddenly felt suppressed everywhere and couldn't breathe. He quickly retreated, wanting to leave this area, but bumped into a solid colorless barrier.

"You are really naive to want to escape after entering my domain, Mr. Claude. It seems that you don't really understand the power of 'controlling a world'."

Roswaal's faint voice came from above.

"The essence of the elemental shield is the prototype of the magic domain. This is why a great mage cannot be harmed without breaking the elemental shield. What protects the great mage is never just the shield, but the world."

"But... the shield generated by your ring is really just a simple shield. It does not have the conditions to generate a world of its own, and it is impossible for it to transform into a magic domain. If you rely too much on it, you will not be able to master your own magic domain, and your extraordinary path will end here."

"Within the magic domain, the magic power that a magician can mobilize is almost endless. This is also the premise for us to cast all kinds of powerful magic. At the same time, the enemies included in the magic domain will also suffer different types of suppression according to the form of different magic domains—"

"Okay... that's it for the magic common sense class. So, Mr. Claude, are you satisfied with this level of strength?"

Roswaal stood in the low sky, and the four magic spheres symbolizing earth, fire, wind and water were quietly suspended, emitting a faint light.

These four spheres seem to be Roswaal's magic spirits.

"Controlling a piece of heaven and earth... I really didn't expect the Holy Mage to be able to do this..."

Li Shanren forced a wry smile.

If a Saint Silver-level magician can steal a piece of heaven and earth for his own use, then how terrifying would the higher-level defending magicians, or even legendary magicians... those who are on the path to becoming gods be?

In comparison, can the end of pyroxene magic reach this level?

Li Shanren suddenly felt that even though his strength had undergone a leap-forward improvement, he was still stretched to the limit when facing higher-level enemies.

"Well, now you have seen it—" Roswaal said with a long tail tone, "So now you can tell me what you know about Rem's death. Or, do you want to try to compete with me with other magic?"

"It's just that, within my domain, you may not be able to cast magic normally—"
