"I see......"

The black energy continued to hover around Duan Qing, as if it became more and more intense with Kang Weina's gestures, and looking at the corpses of many tribal warriors who fell around, Duan Qing, who sensed the gap between the enemy and us, also had to show a wry smile: "These black ...... Is energy all your thing? ”

"They're my magic, to be exact."

The old man, who coughed twice from time to time, nodded in satisfaction, and then re-waved the black energy air mass condensed in his hand into the air: "When magic is extremely pure, they tend to lose their original form, and these pure elements ...... In the hands of different people, the appearance is also different. ”

"Saying these words to you, a half-demon swordsman, may be tantamount to playing the harp to a cow." Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, and then raised his staff: "Let's explain it in a more direct way." ”

With his movements, the black energy gathered and formed again, and then turned into ice spikes in the sky, flying in the direction where Duan Qing was, Duan Qing, who had a solemn face, took a few steps back, and finally chose to roll and dodge, but the ice spikes that pierced into the ground turned into black mist in the sky in the next moment, and then drifted and converged again, turning into a fierce burning sky of light and fire.

"Huh, hehehe...... Do you understand? ”

Surrounded by a cloud of flames, Duan Qing's blackened figure rolled out again, and Convina, who was looking at all this, let out two low chuckles, and once again grabbed a little bit of the black energy that filled the vicinity: "Observe the last fragment of your life with gratitude, because these things in front of you are the prototype of magic, and under my control, they can be transformed into any other magical energy......"

"This is the origin of magic, and it is also the end of magic, as long as you step into my realm, even if it is the Council of Seven...... There is no resistance either. ”

In the ever-changing light and shadow of black energy, the rock spikes surrounded by the fierce strong wind gradually appeared in his hand, and then turned into a swift cannonball, shooting towards the place where Duan Qing was, Duan Qing, who was still lying on the ground, barely raised his short sword, and used the same extreme action to deflect this extremely fast blow, but the stone thorns that had been rubbed by his ears were not embedded in the ground next to him as expected, but turned into blue energy in the sky, and returned to his side again.

"Bad ......"

"Looks like you've got some of it."

The ice lines formed by the transformation of black qi gradually crossed Duan Qing's left and right, forming a dense web together with the fire clouds that were gradually approaching in front of him, and the hoarse low laughter belonging to Convina gradually sounded between the two spells that should be incompatible: "Formless magic is the strongest magic, because they have countless variations, and the magician who is eclectic and can control this form of magic is the strongest magician in this world." ”

"These are just the simplest variations, but they're more than enough to deal with the average adventurer." Looking at Duan Qing, who was trapped by the cage of ice and fire, Kang Weina shook the black qi on his fingers that had not yet dissipated: "If you want to enjoy more content, you'd better become ...... first It's better to be stronger. ”

"It's a very powerful ability indeed."

Duan Qing, who sat on the ground, protected his vital points with his arms, and struggled between the ice and fire cages: "Could this be the way the Ancient Magic Empire used magic?" ”

"The existing Council of Mages has long since gone down the wrong path, for magic is what it should be, even in the simplest of wield...... They can also exert their most powerful power. Convina smiled and nodded: "The only thing in the world that can limit this power is people's incomparably scarce imagination, and this ...... It is also the place where swordsmanship, which you have always valued, can never compare to magic. ”

"Imagination...... Hey, that makes sense. ”

Enduring the two heavens of ice and fire around him, Duan Qing looked behind him in the distance: "But according to our understanding, these black fogs of yours ...... It's supposed to have corrosive energy, right? ”

“……”

"During the Battle of Tania, we met two adventurers who claimed to have accepted your legacy and could use some of the same black energy to corrupt other people's armor." As if sensing the other party's hesitation, Duan Qing continued to accuse in a low voice, "Is this also one of the magical energies that you are proud of?" ”

"The origin of magic has many forms, that's ...... I've said it before. The old man looked up at the black cloud around him: "That form...... It shouldn't be called a corrosive form, but a ...... Assimilation is the right form. ”

"Assimilation?"

"Restore the magical energy that makes up all things."

The old man slowly turned his head: "Since there will be conflicts between the elements, there will naturally be fusion, and using different elemental energies to neutralize the opposite attributes is also a basic skill that a magician should learn...... It doesn't have much effect anymore. ”

"It works, but it shouldn't be the way magic is used." Speaking of this, Convina sighed: "So I discarded that direction and never used it again." ”

"The ...... that appeared in Tania"

"Probably someone else used my work."

The old man chuckled indifferently: "It's not a big deal, I naturally have also taught a few like-minded friends, presumably they have passed on this application to others in my name, although in my impression, this way of using it is not something that a few small adventurers can master, so I don't know how they learned the few adventurers you mentioned...... Well, to whom am I passing on these magics? ”

As if caught in some strange memory, a rare look of confusion appeared on the old man's face: "Among the people who were sent to Tania before...... And Tania's actions, how did they ...... No, no, there's something missing......"

"Uh, that ......"

Suddenly, the words that Gustan had said sounded, and a thunderbolt flashed in Duan Qing's mind, and then he leaned towards the ice and fire net around him that was beginning to loosen, and let out a few dry laughs: "What about this throne magic array?" You also relied on this method to crack it? ”

“…… No, this one is much more complicated. ”

Kang Weina, who stroked his forehead, finally gave up his inexplicable memories and returned his attention to the center of the field: "But for me, no matter how complex the magic array is, it is also composed of elements, as long as I can understand its operation rules, and then re-simulate the magic energy it needs...... Everything will be solved. ”

"The magic of the Throne Circle? Sounds like a powerful ......"

"The ratio of the guide chain to the use of the elements is the most difficult problem, and they need to be dealt with with with the same corresponding magic, because if used carelessly, these fragile creatures will break." Convina stretched out a withered hand and slowly placed it on top of the magic array that was still glowing: "The purpose of our trip is not to destroy the most powerful weapon of this free city, but to activate it, so unless we obtain the key, it is very hard work to forcibly obtain the approval of the magic array......"

"The ...... of the Free City The most powerful weapon? Duan Qing, who was still trying his best to break free from the shackles of magic, stopped slightly in his hand for a moment: "Aren't you invaders?" Why launch it for Liberty City? ”

"Huh, hehehe...... It seems that you still know very little about the past of Free City. ”

With another inexplicable chuckle, Convina replied without looking back, "As a city independent of the Free Continent, can the Free City be safe with just a few gang leaders and shadow guilds who can only kill each other?" Or do you think...... How could the few unconvincing covenants made at the time of the city's founding stop other nations from coveting the city? If you want to stand tall on this continent, it is useless to rely on negotiation and lip service, and if you want to stop the malicious will that others secretly have towards you, you must have a certain amount of force and ...... A powerful deterrent. ”

"Like a giant magic array that can destroy any other city in an instant......"

He pointed to the magic circle in front of him that was still glowing, and then laughed again: "How about this choice?" ”

"That so-called Molna Star ......" Duan Qing's face finally sank: "It's a magic array that can destroy the city?" ”

"Magic Cannon, to be exact."

The black qi continued to linger beside Convina, and at the same time appeared his constantly dancing thin fingers: "Molna is a genius, he used the power of the tide of the Endless Sea to bury this large magic array, and used the nature of the pirates to create the Twelve Thrones, and then absorbed part of their origin power, and used the form of keys and magic arrays to infinitely amplify their joint force...... Worthy of a magician from the Old Magic Empire! This is a miracle full of great power! If this magic circle really launches as described, even Tania and Redkar will be easily erased from this small world! Hahahaha! ”

“…… He's X. ”

A curse involuntarily came out of his mouth, Duan Qing landed his evil gaze on the old man who was still laughing proudly, and then slapped his hands hard, and drilled out of the ice and fire net that had already been loosened, and in the violent fluctuations of the black qi nearby, he threw out a subtle sword shadow with his backhand, and then rushed in the direction of Kang Weina before the surrounding energy reacted: "How can you be like a ......?"

Bang!

In the crisp and loud sound of shock, the subtle sword qi was like a bullet piercing into the water, and then under the action of the extremely sluggish viscous resistance, it fell to the ground crookedly, and Duan Qing, who flashed this strange scene in the afterglow, then hit an invisible wall, and stopped his steps with a golden star, and a black mist with various colors of light and shadow then surrounded his body, trapping him in mid-air again: "Do you think I will let my guard down so easily......"

"An adventurer who ever sabotaged our plans?"

Kang Weina, who flipped his wrist, turned his head sideways, and his playful eyes glanced at Duan Qing, who was still struggling, for a while: "Or do you really think ...... I don't know or guard against you as a divine help in Parliament Square? ”

"W-what kind of magic is this?"

Looking at his gradually disappearing physical strength, Duan Qing's voice also became weak: "You're not...... Don't you bother to use this corrosive power? ”

"A layman is a layman, and you don't seem to have enough knowledge of the existing magical system." Convina shook his head slowly: "The so-called corrosive power can only extract the magic on the item, and cannot have an effective effect on people or other living beings, and wants to truly limit a person's ability...... Extracting his own energy is the most straightforward way to do it, and while it's undoubtedly a lot more wasteful in terms of the amount of power required and the sophistication of the manipulation of the magic, but for me...... It's not too difficult to simulate such an effect. ”

"The people of the Old Magic Empire called this kind of magic 'vitality extraction,' and it was a method often used to imprison criminals." The old man looked at Duan Qing's extremely pale face, and then turned around slowly: "What can you do in this state...... I'm looking forward to your reaction. ”

“…… It seems that there is no other way. ”

The boundless momentum gradually rose from Duan Qing's body, and then surrounded all his body, the power that did not belong to this world immediately attracted Kang Weina's gaze back, but what caught his eye was Duan Qing's solemn and calm eyes, as the green tendons around those eyes emerged, the pale white light gradually extended beyond Duan Qing's body range, and then in Kang Weina's unexpected and suspicious sight, the black lines wrapped around him were shocked into fragments: "This may be the last time, It was supposed to be left for Oxon's ......"

"I'll leave it to you now!"

The white light was like a thin airflow, completely dissipating the surrounding black fog in the blink of an eye, and then gradually condensed in the retreat of the old man, turning into the sword shadow of a huge lightsaber, the silhouette of the hazy sword light then broke through the roof of the thatched house, and soared into the sky with a piercing scream, and finally with Duan Qing's broken cry, it turned straight to flattened, and slashed down in the direction where the old man was.

"Open the sky!"

Rumble!

The sudden black gas turned into an irregular energy shield, and it was blocked in front of the light and shadow giant sword in an instant, and then in the violent impact, it exploded into countless scattered fragments, and one side of the thatched house was then completely overwhelmed by this raging energy, blowing up half of the room into an open-air square, and Duan Qing, who was standing in the center of the square near the dark side, was half-kneeling on the ground, panting and looking at the figure of the old man who was still protecting in front of the magic array.

"Hehehehehe......"

In the black aura that was still surrounding, Kang Weina let out a few low laughs, but the thin staff that was in front of him in a hurry was scattered and split in the wind, revealing his still trembling hands in front of Duan Qing: "Is the sword qi changing......

"It was an eye-opener."

With such an admiration coming out of his mouth, he slowly sat down on the pedestal in front of the magic array.
