Chapter 66: A Sharp Downturn (Part II)
Rheinth's 'Flame Blast' did not completely neutralize the attack of the remaining ice arrows, and with his experience and understanding of magic, he immediately understood the methods used by the other party. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
While most of the classic spells in the wizard's realm are masterpieces that have been created over the years through years of research, it is not to say that they are perfect and immutable. In fact, every mage who has cultivated to a certain level will bring very obvious personal habits and styles when casting spells, and through precise control of the nature of magic and spell-casting skills, they can often create transformation spells on the basis of existing spells that are no less than new ones.
Although the mysterious mage in front of him should only be at the realm of the seventh order through Rheinter's judgment, he is no less than himself in terms of magic control and spell comprehension, and he is no less than himself, an old top mage who has been promoted to the eighth order for more than twenty years.
And then to the later attack on Little Pete, those seemingly simplest spells Ice Arrows are not the same in purity and attack power cast by high-level mages, not to mention that these magic products have been specially improved and also have hidden mysteries, the general Ice Arrows are a whole ice spike formed by the freezing and condensation of water vapor, but the spell cast by this mysterious person is to compress the water element crystals into countless ice edge fragments and then forcibly blend them into the appearance of ice arrows.
If no external force intervenes during its flight, it is an ordinary ice arrow, and once someone tries to block these attacks, any form of impact, whether it is magical energy or fighting spirit, will cause the kneaded ice arrow to shatter into countless fragments to escape and hit the target in a larger area.
And Rheint, who has no insight into the mystery, is actually very cautious to use the more advanced 'Flame Impact' to block, but judging from the level and power of the spell, most people will see this as a fuss and a painstaking move, and even those who are confident in the accuracy and subtle adjustment ability of their spells will choose to use the same number of ice arrows to accurately intercept, so you can imagine what the end will be.
As for why Rheint used such a safe high-level spell but still failed to block all the attacks, it has to be said that the mysterious mage on the other side does have some tricks, not only does the travel speed of the ice arrow far exceed that of ordinary spells, it is estimated that it should use a buff magic such as the wind system 'light spirit technique', and the ice edge fragments created by it can preserve enough remnants under the scorching heat to continue to strike at the target, which is enough to prove that the magic power he used to create ice crystals is extremely pure.
All in all, in addition to the objective reason of this round of confrontation, it is true that Rheint underestimated the opponent a little, but does this mean that Pete Jr. will be killed or injured on the spot under the attack next?
No kidding!Although it was calculated, it would be naïve to think that an eighth-order mage would be so easily exhausted!
At the moment when the ice fragments flew in front of Duke Aiko, a 'mana shield' opened in time, just like the means used by mages to protect Pilo, and in the face of high-level defensive spells that specialized in dealing with spell attacks, the ice crystals formed by magic power were naturally all canceled out.
Seeing that the trick failed, the other party's magician did not make a sound, and continued to raise his hand slightly towards Little Pete, and began to gently chant the spell in his mouth, and at the same time, a large number of ice picks continued to be produced above Little Pete's head, and Rheint also responded after seeing this scene, urging the magic input of the blessing mana shield to the limit, after all, the opponent's level is lower than his, and the suppression of the quality of the magic will make the opponent's any form of attack spell be offset by the mana shield, not to mention the other party's use. Although the impact surface of Icepick Rain is very large, the strength of the attack is only equivalent to the power of a fourth-order spell.
As the two sides continued to output mana, the concentration of the mana shield on little Pete's body had blurred the small figure he was wrapped in, and the density of the ice picks on his head had also gathered to the extent that the clouds obscured the sun.
Everyone held their breath at this time, it was not that they forgot to make a move, but the battle between the two high-level mages was really not an ordinary battle that ordinary people could intervene in, but a spell fight that required a high degree of mental concentration, and it was someone on their own side who accidentally hindered it, and if even the court mage Rheint couldn't stop the opponent, looking at the others present was probably in vain.
The mysterious mage, who was still hiding his head and face, made the first move, only to see that he suddenly clenched his fist at the hand blessed with magic on the head of little Pete, and the countless ice picks did not fall directly to attack, but quickly converged to the center point and fused into a huge ice block several meters square in an instant, and then he directly withdrew the blessing and control of the magic power, just letting this Xiaoice mountain-like ice fall freely.
And this strange spell that ended in a loud but sloppy way made Reinth's face change drastically.
Because the mana shield has a very big drawback, that is, the magic defense ability is off the charts, but the physical defense ability is simply scum.
I never expected that the tactics used by the other party were so strange and changeable, and they actually forcibly turned a magical attack into an attack using the physical attributes of the magical creation.
Although the huge ice block that was pressed down by the head was the product of magic, the magic shield could not eliminate such a huge magic ice block in such a short period of time in free fall. What's even more uncomfortable is that although Rheint has the ability to remove the mana shield and convert it into the 'Ice Armor' with the best physical defense effect in an instant, don't forget that the person under the shield is not a high-level warrior like the other party, Pilo!
Without direct contact with the target, the impact force generated when the huge ice block was pressed down was enough to inflict fatal damage on the body of a ten-year-old boy who had no combat effectiveness. The most difficult thing to do is that little Pete himself has no ability to escape from the range of the ice, and the people around him have been far away from the combat area in order to avoid accidental damage from magic, and they can't catch up with the rescue in time.
If the other party's mage had already taken these calculations into account before choosing to attack Little Pete, the means might be a little despicable, but this calculation and change in actual combat is really terrifying, for example, now there are many masters in the field, but they can only watch Duke Kerry's beloved son be killed on the spot.
Faced with this, Rheint gritted his teeth, immediately broke the spell that put pressure on Pillo, and freed up his hand to touch his storage ring. But at this moment, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the neck of little Petebox, and a golden pendant floated up from his collar, guiding the light to spread sharply to the outside world.
Everyone who was caught off guard did not expect such a change, and could only witness this unknown golden light, and after the dazzling, there were only two changes, and the iceberg that was falling on the top of Little Pete's head was shattered into countless ice slags as if it had been smashed by a hammer and fell around Little Pete, and the mana shield was really no pressure in the face of this hail-level physical 'attack', and Little Pete was naturally unharmed!
On the other hand, the mysterious mage, who has been there since the shot, staggered a step backwards, and at the same time broke the mana shield maintained on Pilo's body in his hand!
Everyone wondered, what the hell was going on?
