Chapter 801: Charcoal-grilled octopus feet
Whether it's slashing people with weapons or smashing them in the face with fireballs, there's a coherent process before the attack is complete.
In the game, this is called cast pre-swing and attack pre-swing - but in Valoran, this is reflected in the pre-action of the limbs and the accumulation of energy.
To cut people is to raise weapons, and to cast spells to accumulate energy.
While the magical rules of runes allow the user to mobilize energy like an arm, the process is unavoidable.
The Watcher's eye rays were able to obscure the transfer of energy, but the act of writhing its tentacles betrayed it - when Rodfa noticed that something was wrong with the tentacles, he immediately began to flash.
And this flash also allowed Rhodes to avoid the deadly eye rays.
The Watcher's routine is actually perfect - those who stare at its eyes will be affected by the will of the Void, and those who do not look at its eyes will not be able to judge the timing of the eye prisms, and you will always have to eat one of the two attacks.
But it's a pity that Rhodes didn't eat any of them.
Even because of the brief stiffness of the Watcher as he released the eye ray, Rod launched a counterattack.
Several fireballs exploded in the backs of the watchers.
It's a pity that the Void Barrier once again blocked Rod's spells, and these few sneak attacks of the fireball technique still failed to work.
Seeing the watcher turn around, Rod touched his chin with a bit of a headache.
This weird barrier of void creatures is really annoying!
Starting with the Sun Divine Envoy, any void creature will do this, and the level of the lilac film energy around them is quite high, unless Rhodes has mastered some kind of secondary law, the usual arcane spells can only cause consumption.
Well, the secondary runes are at the level of the Sun Divine Envoy - for the watcher in front of him, Rhodes estimates that only those who have mastered the world runes can easily pierce that thin film......
And Rhodes obviously doesn't have world runes.
As the power of the dark ice dissipated, Cana also came to the battlefield, but Rhodes dared to guarantee that Cana could not do anything with this big eyeball - the world runes also depended on whose hands they were, right?
It was really clear to Rhodes what level of his own family, allowing Cana to break through the Watcher's Void Barrier...... It's better to let Rod himself be reliable.
At least Rhodes still has a hole card.
Ultra Magic Specialty!

Why are plastic mages called spell barbarians?
Because the essence of plastic energy spells is the transformation of arcane arts and the impact of energy - this thing has such a connotation, and more competition is only on whose mana is sufficient, whose spell structure is more rigorous, and whose spell release timing is more ingenious.
A fireball that's amazing, it's also a fireball.
Although Shaping Mages have always been at the forefront of their studies, they can become very weak when facing enemies with strong elemental resistance and arcane resistance - they need a lot of spells to break through defenses, and in this way, the damage conversion rate of spells is ridiculously low.
And this kind of bottleneck, Rhodes has also encountered.
So, how did Rhodes solve this problem?
The answer is the Ultra Magic Specialty.
Spell Penetration and Spell Breaking Talents, two super magic specialties that give Rhodes the confidence to face enemies with high magic resistance - Spell Penetration is what makes Rhodes' spell structure tighter and more difficult to interfere with; The spell-breaking talent will cause a layer of arcane field that is destructive to the law to appear on the periphery of Rhodes' spells, so as to destroy the target's spell defense.
The former is [Reduces the Effect of Spell Resistance on Spells], and the latter is [The moment a spell hits the target, some of the target's magic resistance equipment and attributes are disabled].
To the Watcher, spell penetration didn't mean much - the Watcher itself had no spell resistance, and it was the Void barrier that stopped Rhodes.
If Rod's spell was able to break the Void Barrier, the Watcher who had lost his protection...... It's no different from a big flying octopus!
After sorting out the battle ideas, Rod entered a state of time chrysalis.
The five senses were blocked, and Rhodes confirmed the situation on the battlefield according to his memory, and then began to cast a lengthy spell.
This time, Rod's spell is only a fireball spell, and there are only two supermagic specialties - time coupling and spell-breaking talents.
But this time, in the state of time chrysalis, Rod's spell has been prepared for a long, long time.
Rhodes tried his best to compress the small fireball in his hand, and as the energy continued to compress, the structure of the fireball itself became more and more unstable.
In the process of compression, Rhodes also "injected" a large number of other energy types into it.
Time, Space, Elemental, Arcane......
In this case, as long as the fireball explodes, a large number of regular laws in the small area of the explosion will produce a temporary disorder, and the time turbulence, spatial turbulence, elemental turbulence, and arcane tides will all be generated in an instant - of course, this violent destruction will not last long, and the time turbulence, spatial turbulence, elemental turbulence, and arcane tide will also disappear in an instant.
But for Rhodes and Rhodes' spells...... That's just a moment enough.
Time chrysalis ended, and Rod finally threw this fireball.
The monitor, who didn't realize what Rhodes had done, naturally didn't know that this fireball was unusual, and it ignored the small fireball as before, and continued to stretch out its tentacles towards Rhodes - but the tentacles were just halfway through and retracted more than the speed of the extension.
The moment the small fireball technique came into contact with the Watcher's Void Barrier, it triggered the spell-breaking talent under the control of time coupling.
The turbulence that was created and disappeared in an instant caused a small hole in the Void Barrier, and it was with the help of this small loophole that this small fireball successfully penetrated the Void Barrier.
Within the barrier, the fireball spell hit the watcher's torso, then set it on fire.
The slime that protects against arrows became the deadliest accelerant at this point, and the moment the fireball touched the watcher, the flames spread directly throughout its body.
The Void Barrier that protected the Watcher was now its coffin board, and after the Watcher was ignited, the Void Barrier concentrated the flames even more, causing serious secondary damage.
"Ahem...... After completing the spell, Rhodes covered his mouth with his hand and coughed lowly, "It's a pity I can't smell itβI really want to know the charcoal-grilled octopus legs made from the Void Watcher...... How does it taste? β
With Rod's taunt, the fireball spell, which was already about to be extinguished, expanded again under the effect of time coupling.
"Boom-"
Within the Watcher's Void barrier, there was an orange-red patch.
