Chapter 224: The Consequences of the Competition
Seeing this, Xiao Chen suddenly realized that Assiros may be a very good researcher, but he is not a good leader, when he was in the Eastern Continent, he has always used the method of directly confronting and opposing the Tower Lord of the Source Tower, insisting on his own opinions.
The owner of the Tower of Sources is a leader who knows how to make good use of people, and can also tolerate Asirus's stubbornness, and finally pinned his hopes on Asiros for the Tower of Sources.
When he arrived in the Western Continent, after Asiros himself became the supreme leader, no one tolerated him like this anymore, and his weaknesses were clearly exposed.
Xiao Chen had found out before that most of the time, he was immersed in his own research, and there was a lot of basic external information, which was derived by asking Carl Rodi.
He didn't grasp the changes in the minds of the other sages, as well as those in the Sage Society, in time. He didn't understand that most people, no matter how strong their strength was and how high their realm was, it was difficult for them to plan for thousands of years from now.
He didn't even take into account that for most people, it was too difficult to learn the Origin Spell in the first place.
Even in the current Tower of China, basic education has been fully rolled out, and almost all students have a good foundation in the subject, they still start learning magic from ordinary spellcasting, and the theory of origin spellcasting is only used as an auxiliary to learn together. Except for mages with particularly high talents, only those who have reached the intermediate level or above will begin to practice the Origin Spell.
And Assiros asked the natives to convert magic apprentices to directly use the origin to cast spells, which is really difficult for some strong people.
Now he proposed to compete with Lusato, much to the surprise and embarrassment of everyone present.
As a Sage, Lusato, naturally, was not idle, and he said angrily: "Asirus, I know that you have put a lot of energy into casting spells from the Source, but what you are saying now will help us develop here?
Asiros said, "The point is to let you know that the Origin Spell is not a secondary choice at all, but the way magic should be. Our magical civilization has been on a crooked path from the very beginning, and it won't be possible to go down this path without completely banning the normal spellcasting mode!
It's only been so long since you already care so little about the threat of the gods of nature?"
Lusato said: "Let's develop this continent, and when it is rich enough to compete with the Eastern Continent, it is not too late to study the origin spell." ”
Asiros sneered: "With your current attitude, how is it possible? Now you are not willing to use the Origin Spell, can you still believe that thousands of years later, your descendants will do this? I'm afraid that even the Origin Casting technique will not be able to be passed on!"
Now, in the name of the Sage, I make a formal challenge to you!"
The picture of this discussion came to an abrupt end here, and Xiao Chen had a hunch that the development of this matter would surprise him.
Those golden dots formed a picture in the laboratory, and Xiao Chen saw Asiros in it again, but this time he felt much older and mentally tired, he was not doing experiments, but sat face to face with Carl Rodi. Both of them had unsightly faces, especially Carl Rodi, who said to Assiros with a look that was almost pleading, "Lord Assiros, please withdraw your challenge agreement with Lusato." The power of the Sage's attack is so great that life and death are in an instant, and the damage to both you and Lusato, is an immeasurable loss to us. ”
"It's too late, the news of our duel has already spread, and many people will be looking forward to this day," Asiros said. Even if I cast a spell for the sake of the source, I won't lose!"
"But even if you win...... Can it really change their minds?" asked Carl Rodi.
Asiros didn't speak for a long time, and the atmosphere in the laboratory made Xiao Chen, who was watching, feel depressed.
Asiros said, word for word: "If I know the right path, but do not bring this kingdom into it, it will be a denial of my own existence."
Most people are blind and short-sighted, so there has to be an external force to push them down that path. Even if someone has to pay with their lives. ”
Carl Rodi exclaimed: "The price of life, my lord, what are you talking about!"
In the latter scene, in a valley outside the city, in the middle of a huge clearing, Asiros and Lusato, facing each other, surrounded by countless chaotic strips of energy, which are the magic of each of them.
Lusato, who seemed to be good at mixing various elemental magics to attack, responded in the same way. It's just that Lusato's use of ordinary spells, and the magic he unleashes overshadows the opponent in terms of speed and strength.
At first glance, Xiao Chen felt that Asiros was in a predicament, but after looking at it for a while, he found that Asiros seemed to be taking the initiative to show weakness and did not show his full strength.
Every time he seemed to be at the last moment, he barely managed to resist the opponent's attack, but in fact, it was the result of his calculations. He only uses the Origin Spell method at a time, attacking the weakest node of Lusato's magic. Although his strength is not as good as that of the other party, he can destroy the effect of the other party in four or two.
This allowed him to use much less strength to fend off Lusato, who was attacking with all his might, and the power he had saved had accumulated little by little before his left hand turned into a magic that was ready to be unleashed.
Lusato hadn't noticed this yet, and was dragged into this duel by Assiros, he was already angry, and at this time, he wanted to take the other party in one go, but he lost his judgment of the situation.
Lusato's unleashed a turbulent flow of Holy Order magic elementals, which, while not severely damaging Assiros, pierced Asiros's defenses and shaved off the hem of his mage's robes. However, the spell created a cast gap of about three seconds, only to see Assiros suddenly unleash an unknown piercing attack spell in his left hand.
This spell was cast by the Origin spell, piercing Lusato's shield in one fell swoop. The magic struck him in the chest, opening a hole directly in it.
Lusato looked at his chest in shock, but before he could react, why Asiros was able to suddenly launch such a sharp counterattack, and the final blow contained such a huge amount of energy.
"Why...... We are not always comrades......" Lusato's heart had been shattered by Asiros, and before he could finish the sentence, he fell to the ground and died.
