Act 274. cataclysm

Reiner smelled something unusual, and he looked at Agnes, a young and beautiful mid-level mage who was extremely excited at this time, his eyes glinting.

"Mr. Baptiste, have you never tried to conduct human experiments, transferring one person's soul into another's body?"

Agnes asked, slightly surprised, Baptiste took a half-step back.

"No, thisโ€”this is contrary to ......"

"Do you want to say that it is unethical, Mr. Baptiste, that these hands of yours have been stained with countless blood, and it is not a thing to be praised for transferring the souls of men to animals."

Agnes' aggressive attitude caught Edgar's attention.

"Hey, Agnes. Wildfield, do you know what you're talking about yourself? โ€

Although Edgar is a little tired on weekdays, he is the person who is most reluctant to get into trouble, and now Agnes's actions are undoubtedly a huge trouble!

"While you're just talking about it right now, I warn you that any of these things, as long as you do them, will be ...... by the Magic Association."

Before Edgar could finish his words, he was knocked down by a powerful shockwave, and even the passive defense wall built by the magic props he carried on his body was shattered in an instant, Edgar's back slammed into the wall, if it wasn't for the part of the magic barrier behind him that had not been broken, he might have directly broken his spine and killed him on the spot.

This is the power of a mid-level mage?

Reiner didn't move, because Agnes showed far more strength than he had expected, as evidenced by the fact that Edgar, who was also a four-ring mage, couldn't even survive a single spell.

Despite the sneak attack factor in it, it is still undeniable that Agnes's combat power is not as gentle as she seems.

Touching the Hohenheim Gold Cup ring, Reiner tried to send a message, but the ring's feedback was as calm as water.

Is it because you are in a half-plane, so the signal cannot be transmitted?

Edgar coughed twice and slowly got up against the wall.

Buzz โ€“

At some point, silver chains stretched out from all sides, binding Agnes.

Baptiste hesitated, but finally raised his hand, restricting Agnes's movements.

Edgar wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, his two hands opened, and he could see that his palms had condensed into a cloud of black mist, Edgar quickly closed his hands, and an obsidian pillar condensed by the black mist immediately flew out of his hand and shot straight into Agnes's chest.

Reiner was about to raise his hand and use the magic in the Hohenheim Gold Cup Ring, he chose Lanchester's Eternal Blazing Sun, the Four Rings spell, although the destructive power was a bit great, but the current situation did not allow him to hesitate.

However, after a few moments, Reiner felt that the flow of magic in the air was very abnormal, and although the Hohenheim Gold Cup contained enough magic power for him to cast the spell, the intense uneasiness caused him to forcibly suppress the magic that was activating.

Bang โ€“

The sharp obsidian pillar was about to sink into Agnes' chest when her eyes jerked up, black taking over the entire eyeball, emitting bursts of black light.

The black light spread like ripples, and the obsidian pillar shattered almost the moment it touched the black ripples, and the next moment, the chains wrapped around Agnes's body were all broken.

Black ripples swept over Reiner and touched Edgar.

Flutter โ€“

Red blood spurted out, and dozens of obsidian shards could be seen inserted into Edgar's chest, piercing through his robes, and the blood was staining his clothes black, Edgar's eyes widened in disbelief.

On the other side, Baptiste was hit by black ripples at the same time, and silver chain fragments encircled him, and the mage, although not as directly hit as Edgar, was also wounded, and half-knelt on the ground, moaning incessantly.

"Spell Counter...... This is the spell of the five rings......"

Edgar said weakly.

Spell counter is a classic five-ring spell, almost the vast majority of mages choose to be engraved into the heart lake when they are promoted to the five rings, this spell can parse most of the known spells below the four rings, while destroying its spell model, the remaining magic power will be counterattacked, it can be said that it is precisely because of this spell that the five-ring mage has absolute suppressive power when fighting against mages who are weaker than themselves.

Of course, spell countermeasures lack a direct response to self-created spells that have not been recorded in the Magic Association, and usually require the mage's own analytical ability to be sufficient to achieve the purpose of countermeasures.

There is no sign of using magic items, there is no spell casting process, even when it is used when it is bound, all the signs are superficial, and the spell countermeasures used by Agnes are engraved in the heart lake!

Being able to engrave the Five Rings spell into the Heart Lake has already reached the level of the Five Rings Mage, and for mid-level mages, the magic test is just a formality.

Agnes is the one who has reached the level of the Five Rings, but for some reason did not apply for advancement to the Magic Association, and still maintains the status of the Four Rings Mage!

It dawned on Reiner that this was the reason for the strangeness he had noticed earlier.

When a high-level mage casts magic, the free magic in the air will spontaneously flow in the direction of the high-level magic, which is the suppressive effect of the high-level mage on the low-level mage.

Originally, Baptiste and Edgar, as well as Agnes, were all four-ring mages, and the battle between them should be equal, but just now Reiner realized that most of the magic power was flowing in the direction of Agnes, which was unreasonable.

But if Agnes was already using the spell of the Five Rings, then everything makes sense.

If Reiner had activated the magic in the Hohenheim Gold Cup just now, then he might not have been able to withstand the scorching heat of Lanchester's eternal blazing sun, and he would probably have been like Edgar.

"Mages with five rings and above are not so free, and for me, rank is just a false name."

Agnes licked her lips, at this point, Baptiste and Edgar lost the ability to fight back, Reiner was just a one-ring mage, and those present were not able to compete with her at all.

She raised her hand, and a chain immediately appeared on Edgar's body, and the battered Edgar was powerless to resist and could only allow himself to be restrained by it.

This is a four-ring spell, Isaris's law is imprisoned, which can restrict the use of magic by a mage who is lower than herself, obviously, Agnes thinks that the biggest threat to herself is still Edgar, and she doesn't want to kill Edgar at will, so she uses this method.

Edgar will definitely leave a mark on the Magic Society, and as long as he dies, then the Magic Society will inevitably learn of this and sabotage Agnes's plan.

As for Baptiste, Agnes was able to subdue him steadily, so naturally she didn't need to think too much.

What's more, she also needs Baptiste to show off his soul-shifting spells.

Seeing that the scene was under control, Agnes smiled slightly, she turned her head, and looked at Reiner, who seemed to be motionless since just now, but in fact had deduced many situations in her heart.
