The golden glow enveloped Fawkes, and with a majestic roar, his face quickly lengthened and widened, his hands turned into huge claws, and his originally chubby figure became tall and muscular, and the muscles of a bodybuilder bulged up, almost tearing the robe. By the time the spell was completed, Fawkes had transformed from a "fat fox" into a giant monster with a bear's head.

Born into a grassroots family, Lendl Fox has been making a living from his grandfather's generation, and Fawkes was also raised by his father and grandfather as heirs to the family heirloom, and before being discovered by his teacher Anatoly to have a talent for spell-casting, Little Fox who lives in a small town on the outskirts of Zoche has grown into a skilled young blacksmith. Don't look very round, in fact, the fat is full of muscles trained by heavy physical labor all year round, and it is also known as a "strong fat man" among the mage group in Beacon Mountain. The strength attribute was already very good, but after transforming into the "bearman" form, it increased dramatically, and the wrestling with the nightmare giant beast next to him did not fall behind.

In addition to the increase in strength, transforming into a bearman form also greatly enhances Fawkes's physique and innate defense, and retains the original spellcasting ability, which is obviously more comprehensive and practical than transforming into a "Mechanism Titan" in the current situation.

Across the dueling arena, Roland and Nikita were also preparing for the battle. Since both sides were imposed by the referee on the "mage room", they could not see what kind of spells the opponent had blessed in advance, and they could not make targeted arrangements, so Roland and Nikita could only prepare according to the conventional routine - mainly to give full play to their own tactical characteristics, taking into account the prevention of spells that the opponent might cast.

Roland first blessed himself and Nikita with "Evil Protection" and "Death Barrier" to ensure immunity to most of the Confusion and Necromancy spells. Nikita blessed Roland with "High Heroism", and then blessed him with "Eagle Might" to improve his charisma attribute at Roland's request, and she photographed "Fox Cunning" to improve intelligence, as well as the signature "Arcane Surge" that accelerated the casting speed.

Roland looked at the opposing camp on the other side, shielded by spells, and after thinking for a few seconds, he turned to face Nikita, patted her on the shoulder, and blessed her with "True Knowledge".

"If my memory is correct, the 'Ancient Owl' on the other side should be good at casting illusion-based instant death spells such as 'Phantom Killer' and 'Shadow Killer', and blessing the 'True Knowledge' in advance can avoid being killed by one of their moves."

Nikita was already familiar with Roland's erudition, and when she heard his reminder, she also gave Emperor Peng, the Four-Armed Ape King and the Land Shark King a "True Knowledge", and then asked Roland: "Is there anything else that needs attention?" ”

"The two groups of people on the other side are very strong together, and we have little chance of winning against each other, so we can only try to win by surprise." Roland groaned.

Miss Mage's eyes lit up: "You're going to use that secret tactic?" As soon as that trick is used, it will definitely make everyone, including the referee, dumbfounded on the spot! ”

Roland shook his head and smiled bitterly: "There is never an invincible tactic in the world, if the other party has taken precautions in advance, that trick may not work, even if the other party does not make targeted precautions, there are still two nasty 'hard bones' that don't eat my set......"

Nikita guessed who he was afraid of, "Mercury golems and ancient owls?" ”

Roland nodded slightly, "The ancient owl has lived for thousands of years, its vitality is the highest among all enemies, and the plant constitution is also immune to abnormal states such as paralysis, I can't do anything about it, I can only hand it over to our three-headed giant beast to contain, as for the mercury golem, although it can be immune to the spell I want to cast, but she has one thing in common with other types of golems - specific spells can break through its immunity and cause unexpected effects." ”

"I'll leave the mercury golem to deal with, but you'll have to tell me what kind of spells she's afraid of." Nikita asked eagerly.

Roland whispered in her ear. Miss Mage nodded frequently, her face showing a look of realization.

After telling Nikita, Roland took pictures of "Protecting Evil" for Emperor Peng, the Four-Armed Ape King, and the Land Shark King, and told them to focus on beating the "Ancient Owl" after the war, and don't worry about anything else. He remembered that the spell-like spells and supernatural abilities of the "Ancient Owl Wood" either belonged to the illusion system and were restrained by the "True Knowledge", or they could be classified as the confusion control system, which was overcome by the "protection against evil", excluding the ability to cast spells to compete in hand-to-hand combat, and the slow-moving magic tree was definitely not the opponent of the three giant beasts on his side, and it would be torn into a pile of sawdust if it lasted less than two minutes.

At this time, Master Saliya announced that there was still one last minute before the duel began. Roland hurried to make the final preparations. Activate the "Mana Rosary" to temporarily increase the cast level by 4, and then spend a "Rebuke the Undead" to convert the negative energy into "Divine Potency". "Eagle's Might" increases his charm by 4, and the charisma attribute is 44 at the moment, and under the effect of "Divine Strength", the charisma modifier is temporarily counted as a cast level, which is +17. In this way, Roland's cast level has increased to 35, and will maintain this perverted cast level for the next 100 seconds or so. A hundred seconds was short, but it was enough time for Roland to pull off that mysterious and crazy tactic.

Master Saliya announces the start of the match, and the spell barrier that obscures the view of both sides is removed. Roland used the short time he was on the field to quickly observe the enemy's formation distribution, and a strange light appeared in the depths of his eyes, quietly showing the Tier 6 psychic ability "Undetermined", so that he could teleport at will within his line of sight, ensuring that he appeared in the right place at the first time, and inflicted damage on as many enemies as possible at the same time.

The dueling sides stopped at a distance of 100 feet and looked at each other with different expressions.

The eight referees also came to the sidelines to watch the battle, expecting to see a wonderful and fierce spell duel. However, when Master Sariya announced the start of the duel, what happened next left the eight well-informed archmages stunned, and their jaws hung on the top of their feet!

The duel can indeed be called "wonderful", but as for "fierce", I am afraid it will be a question mark.

Once the duel begins, the most agile behemoths on both sides react first!

The fastest movement on Roland's side was Emperor Peng, who flapped his wings and soared into the air, and the four-armed Ape King and the Land Shark King were not slow, followed by the two wings to the ancient owl wood that was slowly swallowing on the opposite side.

The quickest move on the other side was the Mercury Golem, which took off into the air and flew towards Nikita in a silver streamer, trying to wrap itself around Miss Mage's neck. Nikita, who had blessed the "Grace of Cats" in advance, reacted in time, and instantly evaded the pursuit of the mercury golem through the "Any Gate" and fled to the edge of the dueling arena.
