Chapter Ninety-Six: Strange Crystal
The transparent crystal in Lorenzo's hand floated an inch above the palm of his hand and swirled gently, his eyes half-open and half-closed, feeling the magic coming from the eight nodes, and adjusting the position of the small crystal in his hand.
This circle is called the Mapping Crystal, and its power lies in the fact that any magic that Lorenzo casts on the small crystal in his hand will be instantly fed back into the large crystal, turning into a continuous group magic that maintains a consistent intensity throughout the crystal. As long as it is used properly, it is a magic circle that fights more with less.
However, the Mapping Crystal is not the original magic of the Tower of Runes, but a new type of magic circle that Lorenzo has learned a lot of newly developed magic theories since he came to Riverfront City, and has cooperated with other magicians to improve it.
The original basic magic circle was a relatively simple magic expansion array, and both the magic amplification effect and the operation itself were not as good as the current one.
The biggest difference between the Mapping Crystal and the original magic expansion array of the Rune Tower is that the resonance principle in the combined casting is added, which can not only enhance the effect of casting, but also allow the people at each node of the circle to be in a wonderful coordinated defense.
The small crystal in Lorenzo's hand spun slower and slower, and finally stopped at the exact same angle as the crystal coffin below. A layer of streamer flashed from the crystal, and the size of the two crystals had been successfully mapped.
Many of the mages below who are fighting are focused on the battle and have not yet realized that they have been locked in a huge transparent crystal.
The three archmages had all noticed this scene, but they were all entangled by the mages around them and couldn't leave easily. Moreover, they couldn't tell what kind of magic this was, and how threatening it was, so they couldn't easily give up on the other mages around them because they couldn't judge with certainty. However, while they were still watching, Lorenzo had already cast a weakness spell on the little crystal.
Although Lorenzo only needed to cast his magic on the small crystal in his hand, the small crystal at this time was like a black hole that absorbed spiritual power. This single debilitating spell alone consumed a quarter of Lorenzo's mental power. This is also the price that the mage who presides over the formation must pay, and the consumption of his spell casting will become more than ten times the original magic consumption.
But the effect is also extremely obvious, the weak magic power is transmitted to each node through the magic circle, and then the power of the magicians on the nodes is added to spread to the entire formation, and suddenly everyone in the magic circle, including the mages on the Chinese side, is cursed with weakness. It's just that the mages and archers from the Tower of China have been prepared, and each of them has a halo bursting out of their bodies, which is a pre-prepared resistance rune that counteracts Lorenzo's debilitating magic without the need for their own extra effort. But the mages of the empire are not so easy to deal with. Most of them had not been able to carry the magic, and many of them felt that their strength seemed to have been reduced by a few points all of a sudden, and even wielding their wands was much harder than before.
"And that's just the beginning. Lorenzo whispered to himself, after the previous magic test, he cast the spell again, and chose the more difficult "spatial interference".
This time, the casting time was nearly doubled, and the spiritual power consumption was more than just now, and spatial ripples began to appear in the middle of the big crystal, these spatial ripples looked harmless to humans and animals, even if they were touched, there was no problem. However, it blocks the possibility of any mage teleportation. In this kind of spatial interference environment, if someone casts teleportation magic, these seemingly peaceful spatial ripples will suddenly become very violent, becoming spatial cracks, and the person who casts teleportation magic is like many spatial blades in his body, and he will die a miserable death.
The last weak magic only made the imperial mages a little wary, but this time the spatial interference really made them nervous, most mages are used to leaving a back path for themselves when fighting, and fighting to the death has never been the fighting style of mages. But such a large-scale space interference is equivalent to cutting off everyone's way of retreat. If this circle is not destroyed, everyone will have to fight until the last moment or raise their hands in surrender.
Avilino was the best of the three great magicians of the Empire, only when he was fighting, he still had the strength to carefully observe the surrounding situation, he saw that the group of magicians around him who had arranged strange magic circles, did not make any movements, but at the same time released the magic of weakness and spatial interference, the range was particularly wide, and the duration was particularly long, and he realized that this was a problem with the magic circle.
He didn't know what magic would come behind them, but he knew it was going to get worse and worse. This strange circle blockade must be broken.
With a long-prepared group attack, Avelino repelled the surrounding group of besiegers and flew towards a mage maintaining the circle below.
It was a very young mage, according to his estimation that he was at most a mid-level, and as a great mage, Avelino naturally had some tricks that could solve an opponent of this level with one blow.
He kept approaching the other party, and the negative energy in his hands had already begun to gather, and the black-purple energy escaping to the surroundings was bewitching and terrifying, looking very terrifying.
Avellino could see the fear in the other party's eyes, the kid was already panicked, and he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet, let alone use magic to defend, Avelino had seen this look on the faces of many dying enemies, and this kind of enemy was often some vulnerable guys. But Avilino had always been a very cautious man, and he never underestimated any of his enemies.
The lion fights the rabbit, and with all his strength, he unreservedly unleashes a tide of negative energy, a powerful single attack magic.
The surging negative energy slapped towards the young mage, and the mage froze there without making any movements, as if he was about to be swallowed by the negative energy in the next moment. However, at the top of the formation, the crystal in Lorenzo's hand suddenly tilted, and at the same time, the position of the young mage below also shifted accordingly. It was as if he had been pulled violently, and suddenly disappeared from his original position and moved diagonally more than ten meters away.
The other seven mages who make up the node also move the distance accordingly, causing the large crystal and the small crystal to change exactly the same angle.
Then, the color of the crystal in Lorenzo's hand suddenly lightened again, and Avillino watched as his full force struck the air, crossed the boundary of the large crystal, and flew towards the rocks on the side of Kuroki Pass.
