Chapter 426: A Big Circle
The competition between mages and mages, if the comparison between people of the same level is consumption, who can save mana more naturally has more advantages.
So Durand thinks that it is very wise for Gray Girl to choose to release the Ice Storm spell at this time, but what he doesn't know is that she actually used it when she thought of it.
She just felt that the Ice Storm Technique had saved the field before and helped Qin Lao, so this time it should be right, and the theoretical knowledge of those elements and magic in her mind had long been forgotten by her to the point that she didn't know which forest.
But at least the effect is good, and even Duland, the great elder, agrees.
Although that was only a verbal agreement, because then the spell that Durand had already prepared was thrown.
"Wall of Fire!"
The elven elder drew a circle in front of him with his staff, and in his own perspective, this circle was exactly the two of Qin Wei and the gray girl in the distance.
And as the circle of drawing out of thin air completely closed, a circle of flames really burst out around the two people, and the scorching wall completely matched the position of Duland's circle, and completely trapped the two people inside.
It's really a wall of fire, and it's a big circle that can encircle the two.
In addition, the usual wall of fire spell cannot be thrown so far in the air, and most mages can only use it as a defensive technique to prevent the enemy from getting close to them, or throw it at some strategic position to prevent the enemy from shifting.
It's really rare for Grand Elder Durand to be thrown into a cage like this, but it's nothing for him to do so with his own magic power, he just wants to test how deep the Gray Girl's mastery of magic is.
The vision of the two people inside the wall of fire was severely restricted, and those rolling and surging flames could jump to a height of nearly 3 meters in a jump, and Qin Wei and the gray girl could not necessarily see the situation outside even if they jumped up.
In this way, they will not be able to know what Durand is doing, if the other party releases other spells from the outside to attack at this time, the little space under their feet is simply not enough for them to dodge, and if they are not careful, they will catch fire.
So the top priority is naturally to find a way to extinguish this wall of fire, or retreat to open a gap and run out.
And this didn't need to be reminded by Qin Wei, the gray girl naturally thought of it, she called out to the wind elementals, guiding their responses to gather a wind ball in her hand, and when the wind ball became larger and larger than her shoulders, she threw it towards the wall of fire with a throw.
She wanted to use the Wind Ballooning to blow a hole so that the two of them could escape from the flame cage, but the moment before the Wind Balloon touched the wall of fire, a wall of earth suddenly rose in front of the wall of fire, and the wind ball was completely captured.
After that, the earthen wall cracked and fell apart and disappeared naturally, while the wall of fire behind it remained untouched.
"Great Elder!?"
Of course, the Gray Maiden knew that this was the work of the Great Elder outside the wall of fire, and the other party could easily deduce what she wanted to do based on the fluctuations of the elements, and then she could cancel out her spells with a casual shot.
The Gray Girl didn't believe in evil and threw the Wind Ball Technique in several other directions, but they were all resolved by Durand outside one by one, and the Earth Wall Technique, the Ice Wall Technique, and even the Wind Ball Technique in the opposite direction canceled out all the Gray Girl's spells.
The Grey Girl wasted a lot of magic but didn't do anything, and was sweating and panting from the burning walls around her.
This Grand Elder Durand did not take the initiative to attack, but instead took a passive defense after dropping the wall of fire, the purpose was to completely trap them, so that they could not come out even if they had ideas, so that they would know the gap in strength between them and him and retreat.
He felt that there was no need to be so serious about dealing with such inexperienced juniors, it was feasible to defeat them with powerful spells, but it was best to force them to abstain on their own initiative, so as to show that his ability as a great elder was better and more graceful, and he would not incur the queen's displeasure because of hurting these two people.
After all, he also knew that the relationship between Gray Girl and Queen Brenda was close, although he felt that the Queen was too partial to Gray Girl and Qin Lao, but it was not good to suppress it too much.
So just force them to give up, this circle of fire wall is enough to achieve his goal, sooner or later the people trapped in it will not be able to stand it because of the heat, and if the gray girl inside insists on fighting a war of attrition with him, it will be even better, the experienced and powerful Durand must have the upper hand, which will only make the people inside hold on for a shorter time.
The Gray Girl realized the Great Elder's plan after failing to break through several times, but she was still devastated that she couldn't get out of such a predicament even though she knew the other party's thoughts.
She was still too young to know what kind of spell to use to crack it in this situation, and it was not advisable to consume herself without exerting herself.
As for Qin Lao, a person with zero magic power, he can't be counted on, he can't do anything but bombard aimlessly on the side, and that kind of bombardment naturally can't hit anything.
He wanted the Gray Girl to help locate Duland's location, but Duland's elemental control ability was obviously outstanding, and he hid his breath very well, coupled with the interference of this circle of fire walls, the Gray Girl couldn't sense the other party.
Therefore, Qin Rank's plan to directly defeat the caster ended in vain.
Qin Wei gave up using RPG bombardment, and helped the gray girl come up with an idea, what to use the trapping technique to hollow out the soil under the fire wall, what to use two ice walls to separate an escape route, and even planned to cut through the void to suck the fire wall away.
But when it came to the actual operation, it was still disrupted by the cunning Durand one by one, and the pit dug out by the subsidence technique was filled back by him with an earthen wall, and the two ice walls were beaten into ice slag as soon as he threw a fire explosion technique, and the gray girl finally tore open a little void crack, sucking the fire wall in front of her clean, and finally tore a gap, but looking out from this gap, there was a circle of fire wall outside, not much wider than the previous circle.
This Grand Elder Durand insisted on using the fire wall technique to disgust the two of them, and did not use other means to attack, that is, he used the fire wall to roast them and force them to abstain from voting.
But the gray girl and Qin Wei still can't dissolve this wall of fire, and the two people whose mana is inferior can only be played like this.
In the end, he made himself disgraced.
"Qin, I think I can only use the Storm Technique to extinguish this wall of fire, but after using that spell, my mana will be exhausted!"
The female elf thought for a long time and only thought of this one method, and this method is a bit of a ruin, summoning a wide range of storm spells to extinguish all the walls of fire at once, and the fire spells released in such a large-scale spell will be seriously weakened, and it is unlikely that Durand will release the wall of fire again.
