() Diamond Stardust is a mentor-level water-based frozen magic, which is at the top of the six-level division of magic levels, but this magic is more difficult to study and master than other frozen magic that is also a mentor. It is not easy for an ordinary high-level magician to inject mana into a complete piece of ice to strengthen it to a hardness close to that of a diamond, but to be accurate enough to complete such a task one by one in hundreds of millions, as thin as ice crystal dust, it requires the precision of the elemental control ability and the amount of mana consumed, which is very conceivable, and it will take a considerable amount of time. Therefore, although this magic is extremely gorgeous and powerful, since it was created more than a thousand years ago, there are not many frozen magicians who have truly cultivated "Diamond Stardust".

Because of the ridiculously high threshold for casting, Cassius was able to barely maintain the release of his magic after drinking two bottles of mana replenishment potions in a row, and even though the "Grip of Endurance" could greatly increase the speed at which his mana could be restored, it was still far from the speed at which it was consumed. But the high threshold in exchange for high returns, "Diamond Stardust" is distinguished not only by its powerful destructive power, as Cassius said, it is not dodgable and defensive is its most powerful, even if you barely use space magic to escape, there will be tens of thousands of ice dust into the spatial crack to chase it. That's why Cassius chose Diamond Stardust over other advanced magic as a final means of destroying the formidable enemy in front of him.

In the center of the stardust, the black fox only left one sentence: "There is such a hand, it seems that I still underestimate you." Then he was overshadowed by billions of crystals of crystal ice dust that were so sharp and glittering.

Cassius, who collapsed, was almost unconscious, and he could barely hold on to his body after drinking two more bottles of healing potions and a bottle of mana replenishment potion in succession. The consumption of "Diamond Stardust" was too huge, and although I had been mentally prepared for it, it was still completely unexpected. If it weren't for the fact that the original order of the Snowy Federation had been broken after experiencing the demonic catastrophe, Cassius would not have had the opportunity to sneak into the ring area of the National Library to practice such a tricky magic, but he never expected that he would use it in actual combat soon after he finished learning.

Still, the price is worth it for the sake of victory. As the sparkling light gradually dimmed, the ice crystals and dust that filled the surroundings dissipated one by one, and the situation on the battlefield was finally clear, the black fox had disappeared without a trace, and the all-round and dead-angle attack of the "Diamond Stardust" made him not even a little scum left. It's a pity that Cassius doesn't have a sense of accomplishment after defeating a strong enemy. One Eight Sages is already so powerful, how many of these guys will have to fight to save Sophia, not to mention the vampire prince who even Sophia, Joika, Ray, and Dani have lost all the way to defeat each other.

But even so, Cassius still had to move forward, and he believed that Owen, who was fighting in another place at this time, thought the same way. But just as Cassius turned around and was about to take the step of leaving, he shivered all over his body, and a chill of fear rose from the depths of his heart. Because he sensed that a dangerous and familiar aura had suddenly appeared behind him.

"Well done. This trick 'Diamond Stardust' is used so beautifully. "The black fox, the man who should have been completely shattered by the ice crystal dust, his voice sounded like it came from outside the sky, but it actually sounded very close.

There is no need to go back and confirm the despair. Cassius let out a long sigh, an enemy that even mentor-level magic like "Diamond Stardust" couldn't kill, even if he broke his neck in an instant, it wasn't surprising at this time, it seemed that his magic was far from being practiced at home.

The shadow behind Cassius slowly rose upwards, then materialized into a human form, and finally took on the form of a black fox. In the process of change, the black fox explained the reason why he did not suffer any damage: "You don't have to sigh. The 'Diamond Stardust' was so successful that both physical and magical spells would be crushed by the countless sharp ice dust, but you missed that this magic had a special design when it was first developed: in order to avoid accidental injury to the caster himself, there was no ice dust left in a small area around the caster. In other words, you are in an absolutely safe area. If I hadn't hid in your shadow, I would have been torn to pieces. ”

"Hiding in my shadow, how did you do that?" Cassius was surprised, he didn't expect this to be the reason, and turned to the black fox and asked.

"The shadow magic I created is not only as simple as materializing a shadow, but it can also be reversed, materializing my own into a shadow, as long as there is a shadow in my field of vision, it is my casting range. ”

"I see, it looks like I'm going to have to isolate my shadow with ice before attacking...... Wait a minute!What did you just say?Shadow magic was created by you?" Cassius suddenly noticed a heavy message hidden in the black fox's words.

"You noticed. The black fox smiled with relief, "My name before I died: Alexei Romankovich. ”

"Alexei Romankovich, are you really the founder of shadow magic?" Cassius blinked, his expression of disbelief. It turned out that the other party was a senior of the Snowy Federation, no wonder he had never met him, but he had a familiar feeling similar to "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land".

"Isn't my portrait already included in the current historical materials of the Snowy Federation?" the black fox laughed to himself.

Hearing this, Cassius showed a sad expression: "Last year, the Snowy Federation suffered a devastating disaster, almost all the cities in the country were destroyed, only one-tenth of the original population was left, the National Library was also destroyed in the disaster, and the part that recorded the history of the Federation was gone. ”

"Disaster?hmph, don't ask, someone must have caused it to summon demons. The black fox said disdainfully, as if the country where the city was almost completely destroyed and nine people died, was not his hometown at all.

"How do you know?"

Even if it is explicitly condemned to death, since my time, there have always been countless people in the Snowy Federation who are willing to risk the death penalty and want to try to summon demons. ”

The Black Fox's words made Cassius break out in a cold sweat. He originally thought that Kasenlov was just a special case, but he didn't think that in the past thousand years, there had been countless Kasenlov's existence, and whether there would be new Kasenlov in the future, he didn't know, but one thing that must be worried is: a failed demonic invasion has almost destroyed the great magical country of the Snowy Federation, if someone succeeds in summoning demons in the future, what a terrible nightmare it will be for the creatures of the three continents of Olopa?

"I know what you're thinking, it's human nature to pursue greater power to gain vanity, and it's also their insatiable instinct, and they don't know if they can control that kind of power, and in the end it will only harm others and themselves. Even if a few people can understand things, there are very few people who truly exercise self-restraint and are not driven by instinct. ”

"What right do you have to talk about others? I've read the history of you, who led your magic to run wild in order to study more powerful magic, and as a result, nearly half of the residents of your hometown of Rush City were swallowed by your own shadow, and you died in that accident. I just didn't expect you to become a vampire. ”

"Ha, it turns out that in the history of the Snowy Federation, the tragedy of urging Fanke is recorded like this. Sadly, the historians of the Snowy Domain Federation are still the most objective and fair, but they didn't expect to be a group of hypocrites who tend to be inflammatory. For the disasters and evil deeds caused by himself, the Snowy Federation still has no reflection and remorse!" When he said this, there was a faint anger in the black fox's eyes.

"What the hell happened back then?" Cassius sensed that there might be a shocking secret to the tragedy that had been happening in the city of Van Ke.

"The past has been buried in the long river of history with the death of Alexei Romankovich. When I abandoned the name, the identity of a human being, I had nothing to do with this person. If you want to know, please also throw away your name and human identity, and become one of my kind. ”

"This kind of thing...... How could I possibly do it?" Cassius certainly couldn't have accepted the Black Fox's request. If you want him to become a vampire? That's something you don't have to think about.

"Since you don't have this awareness, please get out of here immediately. This place is the territory of the Bloods, not where you humans should be. With that, the black fox turned and walked away, no longer pestering Cassius.

"You...... You're letting me go?" Cassius didn't believe his ears.

"Although I definitely have enough reasons to slash and kill the guys in the Snowy Federation, for the sake of you having so much fun with me, I will spare you this time, and roll as far as I can before I change my mind. The black fox said as he walked.

"I can't go! My companion hasn't been rescued yet. And at the moment I have other companions fighting elsewhere, how can I walk away. ”

"Companion!" the black fox stopped, his tone changed suddenly, "Stop these two disgusting words in front of me!"

Cassius felt the murderous aura faintly emanating from the black fox. Although Cassius had too many doubts in his heart, before he could figure it out, the black fox had changed his mind in an instant.

"Vanish, hypocritical Snowy Federation magician. The black fox raised his left hand back and said coldly, "Devouring Shadow!"

Suddenly he felt his feet sinking, Cassius exclaimed "Wow", and he found that the shadow under him had somehow become like a swamp, dragging his feet down! Cassius had no strength at all, and was gradually overwhelmed and swallowed by his own shadow......
