Chapter XXXI Determination
Leapfrogging is usually the last resort for every mage.
The reason why it is a last resort is not only because spells that transcend the rank often have the power to turn the situation around, but also because no mage will choose to use this method that may destroy them to win until the last resort - even if they are lucky enough not to be strangled by high-level spells that are beyond their control, it will affect the path to future promotion due to the overdrawn spirit.
For Monia, the probability of the above situation is negligible, but if she can, she doesn't want to cast spells beyond the level - especially with her current state of mind, using high-level spells at the next level is likely to cause headaches for several days and several days of malaise.
It's just that for now, she doesn't have a better way to cope.
- A god's side level magician, whose defensive enchantment is wide enough to invalidate all mid-level spells, and even high-level spells have the potential to penetrate the barrier only a few times.
Monia doesn't plan to gamble on the possibility, what she wants is a spell that can actually give damage to the other party, and the only one in her hand that can perfectly bypass the defense mechanism of the clergy is the only one - a high-level spell Void Strike, a spell that the mage uses to interfere with the space, which can pull the spatial turbulence to cause a small area of space to be disordered and finally shaken, maybe the lethality is slightly insufficient compared with other high-level spells, but the mental damage caused by the caster profession with keen perception is incomparable, at least empathy, Rather than eat a meteorite from the sky, she didn't want to enjoy the aftermath of a Void Strike.
It was just too painful.
If you really want to describe it, it is about the same as the feeling of a person going around dozens or hundreds of circles around him.
In her previous life, as one of the spellcasters who stood at the top of the player's ranks, she did not suffer less from this spell in the Sky Arena, and several times she lost the qualifying matches because she was dizzy and dizzy by a Void Strike at a critical moment, and lost the opportunity. And what's even more hateful is that for archmages, casting such a high-level spell doesn't take much time to cast spells, and shamelessness can almost make the opponent have a psychological shadow.
Of course, Monia hasn't reached this point yet, but thanks to a few defeats, when she has enough spiritual power to use high-level spells, she maliciously memorized the spell model of this spell - originally planned to use this spell to buy herself a certain amount of time when using phase space displacement or disordered space jump, but she didn't expect it to be used at this time, the nature of the space spell can just avoid the defense of the enchantment, and deal damage perfectly.
I just don't know what the final result will be, and whether it will have the expected effect?
She didn't know anything about it.
Rubbing his eyes, it took a while for the mage to see the world again.
"The sequelae are still too great." Not without depression, she said—even now, the world in her eyes was still full of ghosting, vaguely unable to see really, and at the same time, the headache like a hangover made her want to find a soft and collapsed bed, and plunge on it, and sleep well for a day and a night.
But...... This is obviously not possible.
There is also a battle waiting for her, if a simple high-level spell can solve a strong man on the side of the gods, then this world is already the world of mages - and how miserable mages are in this world is a matter for all to see, this is not something that can be explained simply by the existence of gods.
The clergy system of the Church is indeed not a soft persimmon.
What a naïve idea to expect a high-level spell to settle the battle once and for all!
Although it is not convincing to say this based on her height, she is indeed past the age of naivety, and there may be naïve thoughts like just now, but it is only a fleeting thing, and it will never be taken seriously.
Wait a minute...... Anyway, she doesn't have the energy to prepare the next spell, right?
It was only then that she realized the seriousness of the problem.
As early as when he fought with the cavalry before, he wasted a lot of energy to resist the impact of the cavalry regiment, and then in order to block their advance, he used three mid-level spells in a row, and the remaining spiritual power was less than one-third of what it was in its heyday...... But even so, she still forcibly crossed the level to cast a spell and used the Void Strike - if the average mage didn't die like this, there was almost no hope of going further now, right?
Even she, after such a toss, even struggled to use a few tricks.
It seems that the next thing has little to do with her.
The Mage had always been a person who knew reality, and she did everything she could—from following her sanity to rush to the convoy, to informing Eastamael with a telepathy, to using Void Strike to cast a spell at the next level, she did it perfectly, but at least it did the best she could at the time.
In this case, she is already worthy of herself and everyone, and she does not need to blame herself or regret it.
However......
Even so, she still wanted to do something, at least for everyone.
It's just that...... She......
The fist clenched unconsciously, and the mage, who was a little better, opened her eyes again—this time it was slightly better than the last time, although the vision was still a little flowery, but at least it was no longer a vague outline—but these changes that symbolized improvement did not make her happy, because when she opened her eyes, she saw a more severe reality than she had expected.
Brutal reality
Her efforts were meaningless, although the ascetic's brows were deeply furrowed, and his old face was bitter, but the speed of chanting did not decrease because of this, but because he had just suffered a loss, the holy light curtain spread around his body was even more condensed - if the original ascetic was still somewhat negligent, then now that the enchantment around him had been operated by him, space spells such as Void Strike might still have a certain effect, but this was not good news for the elven swordsman who had not yet arrived.
A clergyman who is strictly guarded, it is difficult for others to find a gap.
And if there is no gap to be found, it will be an impossible task for the high-ranking warlord to defeat the priest at the level of the god's side, no matter how you look at it.
"It's really superfluous," Monia complained to herself, although the current situation is not optimistic, but it has not reached the point of despair, even if the opponent has no flaws, it can still create flaws - judging from the opponent's rigid use of mantra, it is not a guy with a lot of combat experience, and it should not be difficult for Isdamel to use his inexperienced weakness to create opportunities.
Until now, the mage could only reduce his guilt in this way.
However, little has been achieved.
......Thinking of this, Monia suddenly laughed, and the smile that bloomed on her pale and bloodless cheeks was somewhat poignant, but the mage's feeling at the moment had nothing to do with poignant imagery, and it could even be said that it was the opposite, what she felt was the comfort she had not seen for a long time, "The field I lost, I still have to find it myself to be comfortable, blindly counting on others, but it has never been my style!" ”
But...... How?
After changing her thinking, Monia's thoughts suddenly became active, and the whole person immediately became a little energetic.
"You can assign someone to help them hold that guy down, but you have to leave someone to help me keep an eye on the situation." After hesitating for a moment, she explained to the two remaining guards beside her, "I'm going to enter deep meditation, and if the situation is not right, remember to wake me up immediately." ”
If you want to rely on your own strength to win back a game, a good mental state is essential, at least you must have enough mental power to use high-level spells to effectively intervene and help in battle. Deep meditation is one of the most convenient means for mages to recover their mental strength, but it really takes a bit of courage to enter such a state near the battlefield - if there is no help from a trusted person, a mage who is in a deep meditation state is likely to close his eyes and never have a chance to open them again.
"Yes," the two guards replied, but they didn't move—the situation was dire, but it didn't require them to give up their duties, and the mage had only given them a precaution to prevent the situation from worsening—and if she was left alone here, it would be the end of it.
Just in case, Monia is naturally trustworthy to the elven warriors. It's just that they put their lives in their hands like this, even if they have already explained, they are still a little apprehensive, but in the current situation, there is not so much to scruple about - without a little combat ability, it is still a small matter to become a burden to the team, and the real problem is still ...... With no power to fight back, how can she survive the chaotic battle situation and rely on the protection of others? What's the difference between that and now? It is better to take advantage of the fact that the situation has not deteriorated to that point, and take back her own power, the power that is enough to control her fate.
Thinking like this, she slowly closed her eyes, her consciousness gradually sank into the depths of her heart, and the breath of the whole person gradually disappeared, like an old tree that was about to die, and she couldn't feel any vitality and vitality.
Though alive, it is as if dead.
- Deep meditation.
It was the choice she made, and it was the path she chose.
