Longswords are used in battle.

But in special cases, it can also take on special responsibilities – such as digging holes.

If Delkora didn't have to maintain his illusions, his magic would be the best option for digging holes, but if he couldn't, the knight, as the protector, would have to take on the responsibility of taking on the work that others didn't like. So Assas dug the hole without hesitation, not caring about the dirt that would be contaminated by it.

He's a pragmatist.

If you're going to team up with a whimsical and somewhat neurotic magician all the time, you're going to have to be a pragmatist—otherwise, the team will drift into nowhere.

In many cases, Assas's role in the team is the bottom line. They are no ordinary mercenary squad. They don't have much to fight, they are agile, they don't have financial pressure, and all of their members have a wealth of knowledge and abilities that are beyond the comprehension of the average person, making them particularly susceptible to difficult problems beyond their own abilities. Del Cora is adventurous by nature, and if he doesn't have a measurer to think everything through, sooner or later he will run into trouble that he can't solve.

Of course, for Assas, it is enough for him to analyze calmly, and it is Satya's business to stop Del Cora's escape.

If only the sharpness of the sword itself was used, the process of digging the hole would be very cumbersome and time-consuming, so Assas used his skill to break up the soft dirt with his sword energy, and then raised it high, and a powerful blow could tamp the surrounding dirt and prevent the collapsed hole from blocking himself. The dirt was thrown out of the ground layer by layer, and in order to pursue speed, he even dug a hole straight down - it is estimated that it will be difficult to jump out on his own words.

But there's also Del Cola to help, isn't it?

When his sword stabbed down with a muffled thud, Assas knew he had reached his destination. He emptied the surrounding dirt, but the stones were as hard as steel under his feet. A wide "trench" ran through his feet, and there was a surging crimson color in the trench - Assas was stunned for a moment before he realized, this was a vein of this magic pattern circle.

According to the plan discussed earlier, he cleared a small space with a radius of three meters around his landing point, and then sent a signal to the ground.

Delkora then distracted himself and walked to the edge of the cave and began to condense the earth elemental—the heavenly illusion fluctuated slightly, and then the roar of beasts came one after another. But they didn't disappear, and Del Kora's magic wasn't interrupted.

Stone Shaping is a low-level magic, which belongs to the cornerstone elemental magic that every mage must learn, and its main function is to condense the free earth element into shape, or condense the soft earth into stone for later use. This magic is a precursor to earth-based magic such as "Falling Stone", "Stone Rain", and "Earth Cage", and the quality and quantity of condensed stones also directly affect the power of magic. But the magic itself was so simple that it didn't even require runes and magic circles, and Delkora only needed a little concentration, and along the hole, layers of soft soil were reinforced and compacted, and the entire passage space expanded a little. The excess scattered dirt was also cleaned up, and the veins of the magic lines under his feet became clearly visible.

"See the magic pattern circle under your feet?" Del Kora's voice came from the mouth of the cave, "Right at your landing point, did you sense the source point reaction above?"

Assas put away his sword, and his spiritual power extended along the red veins on the stone slab, but it only extended a few meters before it was retracted. He tried it again in the opposite direction, then retracted his mental power and shouted upwards, "There is a source reaction, but it looks normal. The width of the wood grain vein was more than half a meter, and judging from the scale of this magic array, there were no more than five hundred such source points. ”

This is because the wood grain that makes up the magic array is too thick, and if a magic array of this size is drawn with normal-sized wood grain veins, the source point reaction is estimated to be tens of thousands—such a magic array cannot have any effect on it unless it destroys more than two-thirds of the source points or destroys all the key nodes.

Therefore, even with the development of magic pattern science to the present, various theories of magic core construction have emerged in an endless stream, and the source point core with complex structure and cumbersome process is still applied to all kinds of magic arrays. Because it's safe enough.

"It seems that this magic circle is really shoddy, and the people who made the magic circle either made a half-finished product in a hurry, or they didn't want to keep it for a long time," Del Koramo rubbed his chin, "What about the constituent attributes?"

"Fire elemental, and the presence of other elements is not felt," Assas said, "As far as the current situation stands, it is estimated that the possibility of a composite elemental magic array can be ruled out - the other three points are estimated to be fire elements." ”

After all, if there was time and energy to build such a super-large composite element sealing magic array, no matter how it was, it would not be allowed to make the key core shoddy like this. Moreover, it would be too extravagant to seal a person with that kind of large magic array that was enough to protect a city.

"Mocarus gave me the right to throw a mid-tier hedron of any other element at the source point, and he said that this magic array was on the verge of collapse," Del Cora pouted, "I think he's really on the verge of insanity." He would actually think that a trainee magician would have a mid-rank spar on him, and he didn't say that it was a fire-attribute magic array!"

"He's been dealing with the Thorn Elves back then, maybe the Thorn Elves are so rich. Assas smiled, "Of course, it's also possible that he's really going crazy." After all, he was imprisoned for a thousand years. ”

"In fact, I am deeply skeptical of the number '1,000 years'...... Forget it, it doesn't matter. Delkora shook her head and asked loudly, "What are you going to use?" Explain in advance, there is a fifty percent chance that any hedron thrown down will not be recovered—this is a fire attribute magic array, and something has gone wrong! I don't think you want to bathe in the sea of fire!"

"Don't be a miser, Del Kora. Assas replied, flipped through his spatial ring, and after a while, he raised his head and shouted helplessly: "I only brought two mid-level magic crystals...... And it's all fire! Hey, Delkora, I remember you had an Ice Tears ring! ”

"God, that thing is worth three thousand gold coins!That's a luxury, not an ordinary elemental ore!That's the pride of the great jeweler Toquay!" Delcora jumped to his feet, "Why did you fight its idea?, absolutely impossible!"

"Then just give me two water-type crystals. I know you brought a lot. ”

“...... Well, that's not unacceptable. Delcora breathed a sigh of relief, grunted and found an irregular small spar and threw it down, "Jellyfish raw ore, haven't cut it yet - be careful, don't waste it!"

The spar fell from a hole more than ten meters high, and Arthas did not dare to reach out to take it, allowing it to fall on the stone slab. Fortunately, the hardness of the mid-grade spar was not bad, and it was not broken, Assas shook his head, reached out to pick it up, and first added a divine guardian to himself.

And added another firmness.

One more focus added.

Added a low-level elemental protection.

Then, taking the hedron in his hand, he carefully threw it towards the source location.

At the moment when the jellyfish stone fell into the source point, the fire element flow that was still running smoothly suddenly stopped, and the small jellyfish stone fell into the source point, without bringing a trace of waves, but incredibly directly sealed the veins of the fire element's flow - a large number of fire elements gathered on the other side of the source point, squeezing, colliding, and even pouring back, but it was impossible to get past the obstacle of the small jellyfish stone.

The jellyfish stone lay quietly at the source point, shrouded in the fire element, motionless.

"It's ...... Isn't this extreme?Pure Elemental Circle?" Assas opened his mouth, "Is there really anyone who would set up this kind of magic array?"

The so-called Pure Elemental Circle refers to the elemental flow used to form the veins of the Demon Emblem, with only one element involved from beginning to end, and all other elements are excluded - this is a common way to construct large, single-attribute attack magic, as it maximizes the power of a single element and reduces the difficulty of control. However, this method is very unclever when used in the drawing of the magic circle - this is equivalent to the self-consistent circulation structure of the entire magic circle is based on the stability of a single element, if there are enough other elements doped to the key node, the inner circulation of the elements of the entire magic array will be immediately blocked, and then the circulation core will be forced to pop out by the protection mechanism due to internal conflicts, and the entire magic circle will immediately stop functioning. This is equivalent to adding a big weakness to their magic array for no reason, so when any magician draws a magic array, even if it is a magic array that emphasizes a single attribute, he will add a small amount of other elements, and set the compatibility of various elements in the loop formula to allow time for buffering.

Of course, there is another way, which is to have a living mage act as the circular core of the magic circle, which can isolate the influence of other elements - but that idea is simply sick.

Pure Elemental Circle, a classic mistake written into a textbook as a warning, was the first time Asshas had seen it in reality.

"It seems that Mocaros is not wrong, there is really something wrong with this magic array," Del Kora's voice came - he divided a part of his spiritual power to sense the following situation, and immediately judged what the problem was, "This kind of super-large magic array, with its own structural stability alone, is enough to alleviate a considerable part of the influence from other elements, theoretically speaking, we need to use at least high-grade spars or even saint-rank spars to make the elemental internal circulation system directly disconnected, but now it looks like ...... This magic array is already dying. ”

“...... Would you like to take me up first?" Assas's expression was a little subtle, "I think this circle is about to explode." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, before the fire element overflows, the circulation core will pop out first, and the elemental flow will stop. Delcora laughed and said, "Even if something does go wrong, the most you can do is watch a fire fountain show - there are no flammable materials around, at most the temperature rises." You can protect yourself. ”

“...... I suddenly want to beat you up. ”

"Then don't even think about coming up. ”
