Chapter 108: Claire VS Vinson
In the arena, Vincent stood in front of Claire, looked Claire up and down, and then his eyes fell on the scar on the right side of his face and said, "You can kill a viscount-level demon outside the gate and still get out of the way, are you really a magician?" ”
Claire didn't seem to want to mention the experience, and said, "Can you start?" ”
Seeing that Claire didn't mean much, Vincent pouted and said, "Your boring temperament hasn't changed at all, so I wonder how my cousin took a fancy to you." ”
Claire stopped talking, and used her spiritual power to activate the virtual personality of the space, and then an ethereal female voice sounded in everyone's ears: "Welcome to the magic arena!" This is a separate space where students can enjoy using magic to compete with others, and if a person's life is seriously threatened, they will be automatically teleported to the infirmary, so don't worry. ”
"That's it, now, it's countdown time, so get ready for both sides."
At this time, Vincent's eyes immediately became focused and serious, and his temperament changed suddenly, only to see him take out his staff from the space ring, the main body of the staff body is silver-white, this is a tree called Starlight Wood, it is said that the whole tree will shine with silver-white brilliance at night, with starlight as nutrients, growing in the Four Holy Mountains, it is an extremely rare wood, and the affinity with the four elements is amazingly high. The top of the staff is inlaid with a crimson orb that faintly seems to have blood flowing in it, this gem called "Dragon's Blood Stone" is said to have a strong magical power due to being contaminated with dragon blood, and has a high affinity with the fire element.
Claire saw Vincent take out his staff named "Starlight", his eyes narrowed, and he also took out the staff called "Flowing Flame" from his spatial ring.
One is silver and white, and the other is red and gold, which makes the audience immediately clamour.
The two slowly retreated until they were ten meters apart.
“…… Four, three, two, one, the competition begins! ”
As soon as the words fell, Vincent took the lead, raised the starlight in his hand and pointed at Claire, and a fourth-order magic array immediately appeared on the top of the staff, a fiery red color appeared on the magic array, and four rings appeared outward, which were engraved with complex magic spells, and there was a circle of pure white color that was almost invisible on the edge of the ring.
The next moment, a huge flame turned into a fire lion, roaring and pounced on Krar, who was ten meters away.
The fourth-order fire-based magic, "Mimic Flame", can transform the flame into a form to attack the enemy according to the will of the magician, and the duration is two minutes.
In addition to the effect of the staff itself, Starlight will also add a "Starlight" effect to all the magic cast by the magician, that is, the layer of white light at the very edge of the magic circle cast by Vincent, which can absorb a small amount of different elements in the air and extend the duration of the continuous magic by twenty percent. In other words, the duration of the Flame Lion controlled by Vincent is now two minutes and twenty seconds.
Clar's expression remained unchanged, and at the moment when Vincent cast the magic array, he had already judged the magic that Vincent wanted to cast, so he raised the flame in his hand, and without thinking too much, he cast the second-order magic stone wall technique of the earth system, and the defense power increased again compared to the earth wall technique, and then a stone wall ten meters long and two meters high rose from the ground, just in front of Vincent's fire lion.
And Vincent didn't dare to be careless when he saw this, how could he, who had already fought Clal three times, not understand Clal's fighting style, would he be the kind of person who was passive and defensive? Of course not!
So Vincent didn't think much about it, and a fire-based third-order magic array appeared on the staff in his hand, and then a huge aura spread out around him, so the figure of Krar suddenly appeared ten meters away from Vincent.
The third-order fire magic "Ring of Fire Resistance" can push surrounding objects, including elements, up to 10 meters away, and although it does not cause any damage, it is an absolutely mandatory effect that cannot be weakened by other magic.
"I've suffered a loss once, do you think there will be a second time?!" Vincent smiled smugly, raised his starlight and cast the "Mimic Flame" again, only to see the second fire lion jump out of the magic circle and rush towards Claire with the first fire lion.
Claire didn't expect Vincent to deliberately learn the magic of resisting the ring of fire in order to target him, and a trace of surprise slipped across his face, but he immediately regained his composure, and a second-order magic array appeared in his hand, and then immediately retreated, moving at an astonishing speed.
Judgment in magic warfare is the most important, Vincent saw Claire retreating, and made a judgment in an instant, manipulating the two fire lions to pursue Claire from two directions, because the fire lion is an elemental body, the speed is still above Clal. However, just as the two fire lions caught up with Claire one after the other, two brown and yellow second-order magic arrays suddenly appeared under the feet of the two lions, with a diameter of two meters, and then countless broken stones rose upward, wrapping the two fire lions, and when the two fire lions were completely wrapped in the broken stone and isolated from the air, they immediately lost Vincent's mental power control, and turned into fire elements again and dissipated.
The second-order magic circle of the Earth system, "Stone Gravel Trap", causes objects that step into the trap to be attacked by suspended rubble.
It's just that Vincent seems to have guessed that Kraal has a way to deal with it, and just when the gravel trap took effect, Vincent almost didn't pause, immediately cut off the spiritual connection with the fire lion, raised the Starlight Staff in his hand high, and a huge fifth-order magic array appeared under his feet, and the five rings slowly rotated, resonating with the elements in the air, magnificent and extremely solemn.
"Everything I see is ashes; All that I hear, we weep; Whatever I take, it is ruined; All that I forsake is dust; Wherever I am, there is a sea of fire. ”
I saw that the ground around Vincent trembled violently, and then the terrifying flames broke through the earth, churned, and covered the entire arena in an instant, turning into a violent whirlpool to sweep the creatures in it, and then forming a frenzied storm over the arena, making the audience unable to open their eyes, and raised their hands to cover their eyes.
The fifth-order magic of the fire system, the Flame Storm, creates a flame field with a diameter of fifty meters, and the duration depends on the strength of the magician's mental power, which has an extremely terrifying destructive effect. It turned out that Vincent's idea of a quick solution was to start out.
The students of Luther College looked at the arena in shock, which had turned into a sea of fire, even though they all had absolute trust in Kral, but they couldn't help but be afraid.
"Holy, this TM is too exciting, isn't it?!" Marcus looked at the situation in the field, slapped his thigh and burst into a foul mouth.
Kenneth glared at Marcas, but was also shocked by the powerful fifth-order magic in front of him, and the churning flames that soared into the sky made his heart throb: could he also perform such a spectacular magic?
"Boss, our student council president should have stopped eating, right?" Marcus asked.
"How is that possible? If he only had this ability, he wouldn't be a president. Kenneth said with great certainty, staring at the field without missing any clues.
The other members of the student council thought the same thing, just because it was their student council president.
And that's exactly what happened.
Vincent's spiritual power had only just reached the fifth-order level, and a top-level fifth-order magic like Firestorm couldn't hold it for a long time even with the blessing of the Starlight Staff, and after holding on for eighteen seconds, the flames gradually subsided, and the ground of the entire arena was scorched black, emitting a strong smell of burning, and only the ground under the feet of the central Vincent survived.
Vincent looked at Claire, who appeared three meters in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect you to have this hand." ”
I saw that at this time, Klar's body was covered with a layer of pitch-black shell, which cracked with his movements, fell to the ground and turned into dust, revealing the original thin windbreaker underneath, but there was a hint of approval on his face: "I didn't expect you to be a fifth-order magician." ”
Vincent only felt his head dizzy for a while, so he simply retracted Starlight and lay on his back to the ground, shouting, "I'm convinced, how many times did you use the primary space movement in those eighteen seconds just now?" Twenty times? ”
Claire looked down at Vincent and said, "I remember that your highest record was to control eight fire lions at once, why don't you use that tactic and rush to use fifth-order magic?" You think I can't handle it? ”
Vincent snorted unconvinced: "Isn't this a new fifth-order magic that wants to cut you?" I didn't expect it to be broken by you in this way. ”
Although most of the people outside the stadium looked puzzled at this time, Vincent on the field naturally knew how Claire remained unharmed in the firestorm.
It turned out that after casting the stone wall, Klar cast the third-order magic "Rock Armor" on himself behind the wall, that is, he attached a layer of rock to his body as a defense. Originally, it was to bear the attack of the fire lion to defeat it if necessary, but he didn't expect Vincent to directly use fifth-order magic, so Krar kept using space to move in the flames, and walked away in the sea of fire, so as to resist Vincent's attack. In fact, Klar used a total of twenty-six primary space moves.
However, the reason why Krar chose this risky method to crack Vincent's Firestorm was also because of his knowledge of Vincent, knowing that he would not be able to hold out for long. If it were someone else, Krar would never be so arrogant.
"Aren't you an earth and fire magician? How can even wind magic? Vincent thought of this and asked Klar.
"Enchantment." Claire said flatly, "Also, let's save the sneak attack." ”
"Damn, you've found out! You added this magic last year? Vincent burst into a foul mouth and withdrew his spiritual power from the spatial ring. Just as Claire added a third-order magic to the Flowing Flame for primary space movement, Vincent's staff Starlight also had offensive magic attached to it, and he wanted to sneak attack when Klar was slack, but he didn't expect to be aware of it.
Because the magic array has been engraved on the weapon, it does not need to consume mental power when using it, but only needs spiritual power as a medium for communicating elements. However, the efficiency of elemental communication is necessarily not as good as the magic released by oneself, so for high-level magicians like Kral and Vincent, it is not better to attach more powerful magic, but to choose low-level but practical magic as much as possible to ensure sufficient casting speed.
Although the enchantment does not need to consume mental power, it does consume the spiritual imprint of the enchantment itself, and once worn to the point that the magic array is flawed, the enchantment will become invalid. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the enchanter's spirit mark durability, the higher the durability of the spirit mark, like Clal's fourth-order enchantment was completed by Derrakley's only sixth-order enchanter, so the durability limit is as high as thirty. As long as there is no one-time damage, the spirit mark can be repaired by the user himself, provided that the user's mental power level is the same as that of the magic power.
"Your shameless style of play is also well-known in the empire, how could I not find out?" Claire said expressionlessly, "Now you can throw in the towel." ”
Vincent was a free and easy person, and he didn't care about any face, so he raised his right hand happily and said: "Convincing, I admit defeat." ”
So the ethereal girl from before sounded again, announcing the results of the competition: "Claire wins." ”
Although most people didn't know what was going on, the Lutheran students erupted in a roar of cheers.
