Section 7 Strong Opponents
"Harry, are you ready for tomorrow's game?" the old curator asked Harry.
"What to prepare, I don't even know what the other person looks like, how to prepare!" Harry said nonchalantly.
"Don't take it lightly, as far as I know, the strength of these 27 finalists is very good, there are two strong boys in the group you draw, and Divin's strength is similar to them before he advances. If you lose one of your three games, you may be eliminated. The old curator said uneasily.
"Hey, so the old curator knows my opponent, why don't you tell me something?"
"Hehe, whoever wants you to run to the library after the race, I don't know how to see other people's games. But young people, sometimes there are things that can be forgiven, so I'll help you talk about them. The old curator smiled and began to talk about the two formidable opponents Harry was about to face.
"One of them is a highly ice-type affinity, and although he is only a level 6 magician, he can perform high-level ice magic beyond the ranks. And all the mid-level ice magic can be instantaneous, and it is said that he has also created several hands of his own hand-level magic, which you may have never seen before. ”
"What the hell is this affinity all about, and what does moderate affinity mean and high affinity?" Harry knew what elemental affinity was all about, but he didn't quite understand the exact division.
"Elemental affinity refers to the innate compatibility with a certain magical element, and this type of person will receive different degrees of bonuses due to the different degrees of affinity when using this type of magic. There are three types of affinity, mild affinity, medium affinity, and high affinity: light affinity can increase the casting speed and save mana by casting their own magic, medium affinity not only has the characteristics of a beginner affinity, but can also cast their own magic at a higher level, and high affinity is more powerful in casting speed and saving mana, and can also cast magic at a higher level. For example, Medivan, as a moderate fire affinity, only needs 1/2 of the magic power to cast intermediate fire magic, and the casting speed is doubled. Your opponents, on the other hand, can instantly perform mid-level magic and only need 1/4 of the mana. So you can see him as a level 7 ice type high-level magician. ”
"Damn, such a pervert?" Harry couldn't help but exclaim, "Aren't all of those magic masters elemental affinities?
"That's not true, those with a high affinity for the elements generally only have one line, so their magic talent is not too high, and the price of the affinity line is that they are relatively alienated from other elements, very few can reach level 9, and most of them reach the limit at level 7 or 8. There is still a certain gap compared to level 9 magicians. If there is a dual-lineage elemental affinity, then his magical talent must be relatively high, and such a person can usually end up becoming the top of the magicians. The affinities of the third and fourth lines have never appeared, so let's not talk about it. ”
"But at this level, elemental affinities are indeed perverted!" Harry shuddered at the thought of the meteor shower he had unleashed last time Medivan, and that power was not something he could easily stop.
"It's true, elemental affinities have a very strong advantage in the early and middle stages. ”
"Isn't Medivan, a medium-friendly person, not very talented in magic?" Harry remembered a question.
"Devon is only a moderate affinity, and after he took Gentian, the magic elements of the other systems have returned to their normal sensing abilities. Therefore, his magic talent has also increased to level 9, and he did only have level 8 magic potential before. ”
"Gentian grass can also increase magical talents?" Harry asked.
"It is of some help to those who are affinity with the elements, but the average person can only improve their mental power. Don't look at the elemental affinity seems to be very powerful, the single-line affinity will slowly stagnate after being promoted to a high-level mage, and eventually become mediocre. Devon was lucky, and Ronin helped him get a gentian. ”
"Isn't it good for elemental affinities to use Nature's Dew, doesn't it just make up for their lack of magical talent?" Harry asked again.
"The lack of affinity's magical talent is caused by the lack of sensing ability with magic elements, especially those with high affinity, who can almost only communicate with the magic elements of their own system, so the growth of magic power in the later stage is extremely difficult, and the effect of nature's dew on elemental affinity is not too good, but it is not without effect, generally speaking, gentian grass is their best choice. ”
"I see!So how do I deal with this ice affinity? There are 4 level 7 ice magic, Blizzard is an attack magic, the ice barrier is a defense magic, and the Ice Prison and Deep Freeze are auxiliary magic, all of which are very tricky!"
"Hehe, don't worry too much about level 7 magic, after all, he has limited magic power as a level 6 magician, and although he is a highly affinity, it is impossible to use high-level magic frequently. I estimate that he can use level 7 magic at most twice, and if he uses his magic again, he will be in danger of running out, and he will definitely not take this risk unless he is desperate. The old curator reminded Harry with a smile.
"That's fine! But high-level magic is good, and you can cast it once to decide the winner!"
"There is another one who is not an elemental affinity, but he is good at wind magic, and it can be said that even some high-level magicians may not be as powerful as him in wind magic. His wind magic was all improved and created by himself, and there were almost no examples of magic in books. ”
"It sounds great, but my magic is all my own creation, and I don't necessarily lose to him!" Harry said confidently.
"Well, it's good to have confidence, but you still have to be careful!" the old curator nodded, "Then I'll rest assured, you see that my old man is so lucky, no matter whether you win the championship in the end or not, you can't go back on what you promised me." ”
"Hmph, are you calculating something about me again?" Harry grimaced as he remembered the last time.
"No, no! It's easy for you, it just takes some time. "The old curator sold it and didn't go any further.
Let's deal with the game in front of us first, and if we can win the championship, even if we are played by this old guy again. Harry didn't think much of it, and concentrated on the two opponents that the old curator had just mentioned.
The day passed quickly, and after the adjustment of the arena, all 18 small rings had been removed, and a large arena was replaced by a large arena that was more than 10 times larger. According to the schedule of the tournament, there are 6 matches in this arena in one day, and each match is a maximum of one hour.
The group semi-finals are not as casual as the preliminary round, all the judges are present to judge, and there are also commentators to explain to the audience, because there is only one game at the same time, so the audience outside the field is extraordinarily large, in addition to some low-level magicians to open their eyes, there are also supporters of the players.
Harry's match was scheduled for the fourth game, and his opponent was a level 6 magician who was good at the wind system mentioned by the old curator, and his name was Ace.
The first match started soon, and it was the first time Harry had watched the mage duel seriously, and most of the players who could enter the group stage were among the stronger players among the level 6 mages, so it should be something to watch.
After watching it for 10 minutes, Harry realized that this was not the case, the two of them on this game basically belonged to the competition of magic and mental power, standing face to face, you have a move, I have a move, that is called a fight in full swing, plus the passionate cheers of the audience outside the venue, people who don't know still think it's a magic show.
Yawned, Harry was too lazy to continue watching, if his opponents were all at this level, it was estimated that he would not be able to defeat the opponent in 1 minute, why did I have two masters in this group?
Finally, one of the parties on the field lost the game because of the huge consumption of mental power, and lost the game, and withdrew from the game, and the first game was over.
The players in the second game and the two players in the first game were in the same group, but this one showed Harry a rare master.
After the start of the game, the two sides had already turned on their respective guards, stood in their positions and began to cast spells. The man didn't use a medium-level magic that amplifies the power of ordinary people, but a level 4 ground stabbing technique, and he attacked the opponent first. If guardian magic is triggered, the caster will not be able to cast another spell at the same time, even if the spell is being cast. Therefore, the man took advantage of this feature, and although the ground stabbing technique could not hurt the opponent, it successfully interrupted the opponent's magic.
Immediately afterwards, the man continued to harass the other party with fast and low-consumption low-level magic, so that the other party has never had the opportunity to cast amplified magic, and his opponent is also stubborn, insisting on casting a pre-planned level 6 magic, so he has been in the point of being beaten, although the guard can be completely defended, but if he fights like this until the end of time, the judges will judge him to lose.
However, the master on the opposite side didn't seem to be ready to fight him to the end, and after harassing him for a while, he looked at a gap and cast a level 6 magic, which directly broke his Ice Guardian and won the game. It seems that this man has some actual combat experience, and he is somewhat similar to Harry in terms of tactics.
