Rhodes' "combat teaching" (i.e., hammering you while telling you how to hammer you) is famous in Dalaran.

In the beginning, when Rhodes was not yet the chairman of the Council of Six - or even a member of it, he established a dueling club to spread the word about this interesting way of fighting.

So the question is, why did the people led by Antonidas mess around with him at that time?

The reason is very simple - Rhodes really played a role in training students, and Rhodes himself did not cherish himself at all, although his mouth was the most poisonous when he fought, but he also had the most dry goods in his words.

Although this "demon king vs. brave" fighting method looks vulgar, the strong side is in a happy mood, and the weak side gets the harvest, and the two sides can be said to "take what they need" to a certain extent, so they can be able to sweep the entire Dalaran with the acquiescence of Antonidas.

And Rhodes ...... It's been a long time since I've tried this feeling.

The last time he faced that hurricane dregs, Rhodes tried his hand at explaining some basic combat knowledge to Annie, but overall it wasn't enjoyable - and now, Rhodes had found a better opportunity.

The only regret is ...... It's a pity that Anne wasn't around.

……………………

A stream of high-purity arcane energy caused quite a serious crystallization effect, and this pure flow of energy was the easiest to "trick" the triggered spell defenses, and the Noxians with the spell defenses on their bodies were crystallized into a shiny crystal sculpture without even triggering a single item.

Luckily, there were enough Noxians around—and although the arcane rays refracted through the crowd several times, they finally ran out of energy after crystallizing a dozen unlucky eggs.

Seeing this, Rod frowned slightly.

"Look, the effect of pure arcane energy is quite impressive, but the cost of this move is still a bit larger after all, you have wittily prepared enough manpower, otherwise I should have directly turned you all into crystallized sculptures, and then smashed them one by one."

"Well, by the way, I'm quite fond of the sound of crystallized sculptures shattering, and that crisp chirp is the highest level of enjoyment for my ears."

"Now it looks like you've prepared a lot of things that can resist spells, including energy-absorbing equipment - from the perspective of fighting mages, except for picking the wrong opponent, the rest of the preparation is still adequate."

"The small space can force me not to release the fire magic, otherwise it will easily cause the effect of igniting the body, and your preparation for this is also very good."

"But when it comes to destructiveness, a good friend of mine said that the power of arcane is far greater than that of fire, and I think the long ear is right."

Loudly evaluating the enemy's strategy, Rhodes did not stop working on his hands.

The staff was held in front of Rod by him, and a thin purple shield completely enveloped him - the ice shield summoned casually in front of him had long been shattered under the erosion of negative energy and the attack of arrows, and Rod commented while preparing a second line of defense for himself.

Of course, this arcane shield is also a normal thing.

After all...... Unlike his teacher, Rhodes is an offensive guy.

During the existence of the Arcane Shield, Rhodes did not continue to speak, he lowered his voice and began to chant spells.

The spells that need to be channeled are always more powerful - Svein and his men know this, so they increase their damage output as well.

Soon, the thin arcane shield was punctured like a soap bubble, but relying on this time, Rod's next spell was completed.

"Arcane Interference - Gravitational Failure!"

Under the effect of arcane energy, with Rhodes as the center, within a range of nearly thirty meters, the effect of gravity was canceled.

The sudden gravitational failure caused the Noxians' formation to finally become confused.

The heavy infantry advancing in a tight formation in the front row could not control their movements, and they became more and more scattered, and even simply walked to the ceiling because of the problem of force development; The archers in the back were even more embarrassed to find that after shooting an arrow, the whole person began to retreat rapidly; Although the mages were slightly affected, Svein found that the defenders between himself and Rhodes had lost their role as a barrier due to the sudden gravitational failure.

That is, now Rhodes...... General!

Realizing this, Svein directly flapped the demon's wings behind him and quickly retreated.

Rod, on the other hand, happily put his staff on the ground, summoned an ice shield to block the stray bullets, and then silently began to create a huge fireball.

Wait a minute!

Svein's eyes widened - didn't you just say that a small space is not suitable for using fire magic?

As if to Svein's surprise, Rhodes spoke calmly after finishing the spell chant and throwing the huge flame blast out.

"Confined spaces are really not suitable for using fire magic, as unstable fire magic will explode as soon as it hits the target, dealing area damage - but now, the ones who get in the way have been cleared by the gravitational failure, and as long as the fire blast explodes more than 28 yards, I will be almost unaffected."

"Magic is never dogmatic, we need to be able to analyze specific situations, have you learned now?"

Learned a P?!

Are you TM the devil?!

Svein had realized how stupid his subconscious retreat was - if he hadn't retreated, he could have solved this big fireball with the mages accompanying him, and even been able to "treat others the way they would", but now that he had subconsciously retreated, it was too late to act with the other mages!

At times like these, Svein can only count on his men to be clever enough.

"Don't be wiped out by this big fireball!"

Svein may not be a combat specialty, but he has experienced a big scene - when Rod's spell is a fait accompli, Svein secretly hopes that his mages will make the right choice, and on the other hand, he begins his own counterattack.

Gravity is gone, isn't it?

Well, then you can taste the power of demons!

"Never again!"

Svein raised his left hand, and the demon's negative energy quickly condensed into a huge arm, grabbing Rhodes fiercely.

At the same time, the arm was aimed at Rhodes' soul with extremely precise positioning—a position that became especially evident when gravity failed and space was blocked.

Svein's return fire, came.
