Chapter Eighty-Nine: Armor and Flowing Fire

Ryan looked up contemptuously and sneered, "Isn't it okay yet? If it's over early, you'll have time to think about how to earn some points!"

He had little patience for the self-defeating first-year student in front of him, and after learning that Merlin couldn't connect to the Sea of Magic, he had Creo pass the word that he could cancel the duel as long as he apologized to himself, and he didn't think there was any glory in winning such a duel with a huge disparity in strength.

And what made him even more angry was that the little imp actually refused.

I don't know what to do.

Looking at the clothes he had conjured upon, did he think that he could resist his attack with that short sword alone? might as well put a turtle shell on himself and wait for death, or at least allow himself to cut a few more swords, Ryan thought disdainfully.

Maureen was a little hesitant at this point.

After thinking about it, he didn't choose light armor, not even any armor, but chose a set of black and yellow robes. Compared to armor, magic robes can enhance his control over mana, making mana conversion more efficient, and can also increase his affinity for the elements, making magic more powerful.

Another advantage is that the robe made of this magic cloth is much lighter than armor, and as for the defensive ability, it is all magic.

In terms of weapons, the boy still chose the usual short sword, if he can use magic cards, he can make the warrior unable to get close by quickly casting magic, just like the test with Strayer during the assessment, and Merlin obviously needs a short sword to fight.

Originally, he was going to conjure a light shield, but after thinking about it, he chose to modify the style of the cuff of his left arm, lengthening it a little to form a curved gauntlet, so that with magic, he could barely use it as a small shield, and if he used a regular round shield, his left hand would not be able to use spellcasting materials.

In the end, he put rows of small bags on his waist, and chose a lot of messy spell casting materials to put in, I have to say that the magic of the simulated arena can even be conjured up with these strange spell casting materials.

With a wave of his short sword, the boy said that he had made the choice, and all the light on his body condensed into substance.

Seeing that the equipment of the two was transformed, the students watching the battle in the audience also quieted down.

The official duel begins with a ritual.

"Bell bell ......" The two of them still tacitly understood to step on the direction and wave the weapon according to the habit, Lane deliberately tempted, and gradually increased his strength, and when the weapon was staggered for the ninth time, he felt that the other party was not very stable, so he no longer strengthened. Hmph, the strength of the first order is not bad among freshmen, but it is too much to challenge me.

After the sound of twelve crisp short sword parleys colliding, because of the large field, the two of them each jumped back five steps, and through the familiarity of the previous ritual, the distance and speed of the five steps backward between the two were almost the same.

At the beginning of the fight, each depends on his ability.

As soon as the heel of the fifth step touched the ground and the armor froze, Ryan burst into flames and rushed towards Merlin without the slightest hesitation.

Merlin was wearing a magic robe, and if he could use magic cards, Ryan might have watched more cautiously before charging, but for now, he felt that even if his opponent could cast magic, it would take at least some time to prepare, and it was best to settle the battle before Merlin could cast his magic.

He didn't want to waste too much time on this duel.

At the same time as Ryan erupted, Morin's left hand had pinched a small pinch of [Sunken Earth] from one of his pockets, which was a kind of earthy earth with magical power taken from the riverbed, which was uniform and dense in nature. As Ryan rushed towards him step by step, the young man quickly recited a few auxiliary syllables in his mouth, and sprinkled [Sinking Earth] on himself, already putting a layer of [Mage Armor] on himself.

Although the [Mage Armor] is transparent, the simulated arena will display additional information to the spectators, such as at this time, in the eyes of the nervous Marcus who was watching the battle, a slender glowing straight line extended from the surface of Merlin's robe to a blank space, and some glowing captions were conjured: [Mage Armor], strength 2nd order, has duration: 2 Cel (seconds).

Seeing that Mo Lin directly activated the [Mage Armor], the senior seniors in the audience were stunned.

He's crazy?!

Those who bet on Morin to lose are all happy in their hearts, and sure enough, rookies are rookies.

[Mage Armor] has a corresponding magic card, which is also a common card in duels, but no one uses it like Merlin. Generally speaking, in a pinch, in order to protect themselves and activate other magic, the mage will often use this kind of shield to hard-cap some damage, but how can it always be worn on the body as armor, and it doesn't take magic to maintain magic?

If Morin knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely be very puzzled and say: The name of this magic is [armor], and you know that it is used as armor, right?

The spell was cast so quickly, and a thought flashed in Ryan's heart, which had just been sprinkled with Merlin's casting materials, and it could be seen that it should be a defensive magic.

Ryan didn't hesitate, and the dagger slashed diagonally.

The icy blade sliced through the air, screaming like iron, and struck Merlin in the chest.

The strength is much greater than himself, and the teenager does not dare to fight hard.

He rubbed his short sword with his left arm against the gauntlet, which seemed to be blocked by invisible armor, and at the same time, he held the sword in his right hand against the shield, squeezing the space for Lane's shield to strike.

After a stalemate, the boy felt that he was not strong enough. Hurriedly unloaded to the side and stepped back.

This sword slashed into Morin's left arm gauntlet, as if it had been slashed into solid cotton, and Ryan immediately recognized the magic that Morin had cast before, [Mage Armor], hum, a rookie is a rookie, and he used this magic as soon as he came up.

Recognizing this magic, Ryan slowed down slightly, his short sword flipped over, his waist twisted, his stabbing shield shielded the enemy's vision in front of him, and the blade of the sword was then like a poisonous snake ready to strike a fatal blow at any time.

This action is so familiar, Mo Lin subconsciously took a small step to the side, flashed against the casting thorn of Ryan's shield, and then pushed hard, the blade behind the shield was like a sword, and the footsteps stepped back away the distance.

And Ryan was blocked like this, and his movements suddenly stalled.

There were a few cheers from the audience.

Maureen stood still, stunned for a moment.

White Feather Swordsmanship?

Ryan's movements just now were extremely similar to the white feather swordsmanship that Mo Lin had learned and trained since he was a child, and the young man dismantled the opponent's attack this time without even thinking about it.

After a moment's thought, Morin understood.

When Grand Duke Victor announced his separation from the empire, the army was originally from the Gesuk Empire, and the military swordsmanship was naturally inherited from the Gesuk Empire.

And after two moves, he felt that Morin's magic effect was no worse than that of his second-year classmates, and Ryan became a little more serious. He also realized that the other party's action of dissolving his swordsmanship just now was very skillful, thinking about the history of Lothar, he snorted disdainfully, traitor.

Of course, he would not think that his swordsmanship was inferior to the other party, and continued to use this swordsmanship.

It's a trick.

White Feather Swordsmanship emphasizes tenacity in defense and flexibility and accuracy in attack, and it is not a swordsmanship that is very suitable for exerting strength.

The two of them jingled from one end of the arena to the other, as if they were performing a ritual.

The classmates who watched the battle in the audience also saw the clues, the two probably used a swordsmanship, although Ryan was taking the initiative to attack, but seeing that Morin was not flustered, it was obvious that Ryan could not win with this swordsmanship alone.

Not...... As a teenager, I was forced by my grandfather to practice swordsmanship since I was four years old, and in the past few years, in my early tens, I was able to disassemble the white feather swordsmanship with others while sleeping! Even though the swordsmanship used by Ryan was slightly different, Mo Lin, with his familiarity with [White Feather], could often see the opponent's sword path and choose the corresponding method to parry.

Merlin grew bolder, and he found that the opponent's short sword could not cause penetrating damage to his [Mage Armor] as long as he removed his strength slightly, and this invisible armor would constantly repair itself.

He took the lead in changing his move, grabbed a gap, leaned slightly, and spilled a pinch of glitter powder in his left hand on Ryan.

It was the magic he practiced the most and the most skillful he had, and a moment later, a blinding light burst towards Ryan.

Ryan is worthy of being a senior of one year, and he is experienced and not reckless.

Seeing that the boy spilled some powder, he subconsciously blocked the shield in front of him, and when the [Flash Technique] was activated, although he was affected, he blocked the strong light in time, and his vision was a little blurry, but it did not blind.

Ryan stood on guard, slowing his eyes as Maureen pulled away again.

I saw the young man retreat as he took out a small thin-walled crystal ball from one pocket and threw it at Ryan.

When the crystal ball flew halfway, the boy completed the spell model and sent out magic power, and the crystal ball burst in the air, spilling a large yellow-green liquid with a choking smell.

Ryan's vision is not clear, he dodges sideways, and raises his shield to block again.

Some liquid splashed on Ryan's shield, sizzling white smoke that corroded a corner of it in a short time.

This is a ring of magic [Acid Etching].

Seeing that it didn't have much effect, the young man secretly said that it was a pity.

Flash and acid etching, this set of combinations includes movements, but the tactics he has practiced many times, if he has stronger control and faster speed, he can throw the [acid etching technique] on the opponent's armor, which can at least make a large piece of armor on Ryan's body lose its ability to protect.

And looking at the corroded marks on his shield, Ryan felt a pang in his heart, knowing that he had underestimated Merlin. He didn't hesitate any longer, summoning a white card and inserting it into the slot of his shield.

He's finally starting to use magic cards.

The second acid ray had no effect, and Ryan's shield lit up slightly, and the acid slid down to the ground as if it were shooting on an air shield. The simulated ground sizzled white smoke, and after a few moments it had corroded into a crater.

On the arena, Ryan dissolved the boy's magic, but several seniors in the audience who bet on Morin to lose frowned.

"It's strange, this guy Merlin has a lot of magic capacity. A senior said. They were not hostile to Morin, but simply did not like him and made a bet, hoping that the boy would lose.

Another senior looked at the simulation description and frowned: "It's been five minutes...... Why is his [Mage Armor] still so stable, it seems that I can't last so long when I am in the second order......"

Although Ryan on the stage couldn't hear the voice from the audience, he also noticed that Merlin's [armor] didn't seem to weaken, his eyes froze, and he no longer hesitated, and another magic card appeared in his hand, this time inserted into the hilt of the long sword.

As his magic power flowed into the hilt of the sword and activated the card, a layer of red flames burned on the surface of the short sword, and the flame was thin, changing and flowing, like qi and water, it was the first-order sword qi magic card [Flowing Fire].

The sword qi was activated, and the mana began to be consumed rapidly, and Ryan no longer hesitated and stepped forward with his sword.

Although it was not as terrifying as the frost sword aura that pierced the night sky through Minerma, Merlin did not dare to be careless and parried carefully.

The power of the sword qi was really extraordinary, and after a few fights, the young man's short sword was actually cut out of two cracks, and the young man's body was finally scarred for the first time.

Because the Flowing Fire Sword Qi was different from the cold and hardness of the sword blade, Mo Lin's habitual block actually failed to swing Lane's sword edge, and the Flowing Fire Sword Qi broke through the [Mage Armor], leaving a scorched black wound on Mo Lin's left arm, and he couldn't even flow blood.

The junior freshmen who watched the game exclaimed.

The senior seniors were overjoyed, as for Morin's injury, even if a duel of this level was fought to the death, it would be a small fight in their eyes, where would there be such a fuss as the freshmen.

It hurts!Maureen pursed his lips.

It seems to be a little bit higher than the simulation used before.

In preparation for this duel, he had applied to the elves for the most simulated arena and Osmond battle.

Or maybe it was because of the flowing fire sword qi, the burned wound would have been more painful, and there was even a faint smell of burning. The boy had not suffered such injuries and could not be judged accurately.

Fortunately, the wound is not deep, the impact is not great, and the broken [armor] is also slowly repairing.

Seeing Ryan rushing again, Mo Lin subconsciously used an illusion to create the illusion of an earthen wall, but Ryan saw through it at a glance, and the magic power sent directly destroyed the fragile illusion structure.

The blade of the sword burns fire, and the shield faces the demons.

Maureen was in a difficult situation for a while.

He must be extra careful now, and he must also choose the best angle when using [Armor] to resist, otherwise he will be cut by the sword qi if he is not careful. As for the dagger, it was more of a shield used to parry Ryan at this time.

The sword qi magic is activated by the blade, and if you don't use a magic card to attach it to the sword body to activate it, even if the sword qi formed by ancient spell casting, it will not be able to wrap the sword body at any time. This is also one of the disadvantages of not being able to use cards.

After a while, Morin parried more and more awkwardly, and Ryan suddenly took a few steps back.

Then he jumped high, and a dazzling barrier was formed under his feet, the shield was closed on one side, his body was like an arrow from the string, and the flowing fire burned more and more, like a crescent moon, and slashed at the boy with the momentum of ten thousand jun.

Merlin wanted to jump to the side, but to his surprise, the shield in Ryan's hand actually flew in advance, blocking the direction that Morin was supposed to dodge.

The action was seen through, and the young man hurriedly stepped back again, but he didn't want a dazzling barrier to suddenly appear behind him.

The earthy yellow dazzling barrier was Ryan's, condensed directly behind Merlin,

Because it was very close to the boy, the earth-colored barrier was not strong, and it was dissipated by Mo Lin in a flash.

But it's just a moment.

The fiery moon had slammed in front of him.

Morin's heart sank, and it was terrible.
