This seemingly overwhelming offensive didn't give Karan the upper hand in this fight. In fact, in the battle of mages, especially in the duel between two mages with similar strength, the real decision is not who takes the initiative to attack first, who can launch the most fierce attack, calm and reason are the keys to their victory.

As a skill that requires a high degree of intelligence and precise control, magic is extremely demanding to use, and the slightest mistake can cause the casting to fail, and emotions such as anger and excitement will undoubtedly increase the chance of such a mistake occurring. Even if some mages are lucky enough to avoid this outcome through skill, they will not be able to accurately control the original energy they summon, which will cause the spells they use to be skewed in some way, which will affect the effectiveness of the spells - sometimes off target, sometimes with less power.

However, this is not the most serious consequence.

Mages are extremely wise people, and the battle of magic is actually a battle of wisdom, using the right spell at the right time, this is the reason why they are strong, and mages who have lost their cool have undoubtedly lost this ability, which dooms them to defeat in battle, and now, Karan has embarked on the same path.

Rhaegar calmly wandered in the magical light in the sky, and with the help of detection magic and Origin Partners, he was able to sense abnormal energy fluctuations before the opponent's spell was formed, and then dodge or resist it, which was the most common tactic used by mages other than shielding or using magic to fight, and by now, he had no doubt that he would win the battle.

A massive web of shimmering blue light formed on Rhaegar's head and fell straight down, a corrosive web that could automatically lock onto and track its target, and its corrosive energy could turn a giant elephant into bones in an instant, ranking it among the most difficult spells of all the Eighth Order of magic. However, this was not the whole of this round of attacks, and at the same time under the huge net cover, countless thick vines drilled out from dozens of square meters of ground, firmly trapping Rhaegar in the center. Man-eating vines, creatures from the lower realms, sense the position of their prey with heat, their entanglements can deform steel, and the acid they secrete can turn any creature into a liquid being.

The simultaneous attack above and below seemed to put Rhaegar in a difficult position, and as he summoned several splitting missiles to turn the man-eating vines beneath his feet into particles, the web of corrosion was firmly enveloped in him, and white smoke rose from his body.

"You look worse. Karan shouted, and a cluster of energy arrows appeared at the tip of his staff, and then shot at Rhaegar trapped in the net, creating dozens of deep blood holes in the latter's body.

"I don't think so. A faint voice came from behind him, and before Karan could react, a ray of powerful energy had already shot into his back, knocking his body to the ground.

Almost as soon as Karan fell to the ground, the Web of Corrosion had completed its mission, and as the white smoke cleared, a cloud of ash appeared in front of Karan's eyes, the ash that clearly did not belong to a human or any animal.

- Rhaegar's second and final stand-in.

For a person like Karan who used to be an archmage, even if his current strength declines, even if Rhaegar can escape his attack with the help of a double puppet, he should never be deceived by illusion, and there is only one reason why this ending happened, he has lost his sanity.

Karan struggled to roll over, gasping for breath, glaring at Rhaegar as he was walking towards him, hatred and reluctance filling his chest.

"There's one thing I have to tell you," Rhaegar said calmly, looking into Karan's eyes without flinching, "I wasn't sent by the people who destroyed your family, and they have nothing to do with me. Ignoring the surprised look on the other man's face, he continued, "But at least in one point, our goal is the same, and that is to kill you. Two terrifying glints radiated from his eyes, "I have no intention of ignoring your grudges with the others, but your attempt to prey on me and my friends, and the harm you have made to one of my friends, is enough, and you must pay for it." His hand slowly raised, and a high-speed rotating ball of destruction hovered above his palm.

A strange smile suddenly appeared on Karan's face.

"What a pity," said the former archmage, "I was going to leave this to those people, but now it seems that I can only give it to you." A dazzling light suddenly flashed from his body, converged on his chest, and then submerged into an object that resembled a necklace.

This anomaly immediately aroused Rhaegar's high alarm, and he quickly dissipated the magic in his hand and retreated in the direction of the entrance to the hall - Karan had already received a fatal blow and would soon lose his life, so there was no need to accompany him on an adventure here.

However, before he could reach the entrance, Karan seemed to suddenly regain his vitality, and he grabbed the staff that had fallen to the side and threw it at Rhaegar like an arrow from the string, and landed between him and the entrance, and a powerful force field appeared in front of him.

Generally speaking, the role of the staff is mainly to help the mage summon and drive the original energy particles through its own materials and the spells engraved on it, and a very small number of high-level staff can also store several different types of spells, it is clear that Kalan's staff belongs to the latter, and what is stored in it is a defensive force field.

A cone-shaped missile glowing red instantly appeared in front of Rhaeggar, a powerful penetrating magic that spun and flew towards the force field in front of him, and the highly condensed energy was like a sharp drill that tried to break through the force field's obstacles, and succeeded in a few seconds.

But for Karan, such time was enough, and when all the energy of this mage was absorbed by the necklace on his chest, the necklace carved into the image of a monster suddenly disappeared, and the next moment, a huge black hole appeared above the hall.

The force field blocking the exit of the hall had been broken, but Rhaegar didn't flee, he knew that he had already been locked by Karan, and even if he fled to the other side of the continent, the imminent summon would not hesitate to chase after him. He stopped, turned around, and stared intently at the black hole, quietly waiting for his opponent to arrive.
