Chapter 39: The Duel (Part II)
ใWrath of the Earthใ
Julils was not a pampered aristocratic son, and after being injured, he did not panic, but calmly activated the next incantation, dozens of sharp vertebrae formed from dirt and shrouded the body of the dragon lance youth.
The mud on the shore of the lake soaked with the moisture of the forest, but now it turned into a sharp weapon of attack, and shot out like an arrow shot by an archer.
Even a thick-skinned orc can't withstand the [Wrath of the Earth]'s thrust attack.
However, Rommel was obviously much more difficult to deal with than an orc, and in the face of the oncoming earth thorns, he snorted coldly, and did not pay attention to it at all, but raised his hand unhurriedly, and drew a shining ring in the void, and the runes in the ring exuded amazing magical power.
He was going to use a powerful elemental magic to teach the Farlane a lesson he would never forget.
But at this time, an inexplicable sense of crisis rushed into his mind, reminding him that this opponent is not so simple.
The ground cracked suddenly, and Rommel quickly retreated, and a sharp earthen thorn emerged from the lakeside wetland, like a brown spear, and stabbed into his body, but Rommel reacted surprisingly quickly, and the earthen spear only scratched his clothes a little. If he reacted half a beat slower, the spear would have pierced through the soles of his feet.
Before his heel could hit the ground, a second stab burst out of the earth and stabbed hard at his back.
If it were another magician, it is estimated that he would have accepted his fate at this time, but Rommel once again showed his strength, in the face of the extremely tricky ground thorn, he tilted his body, supported the ground with his left hand, and dodged with a beautiful side roll.
However, as if anticipating his actions, the third earthen spear appeared in the direction where he landed at the right time, and Rommel, who was caught off guard, hit it head-on, and his whole body was bounced back by this "spear", and an ugly scar appeared on his forehead, and the wound dripped blood.
The crowd erupted in cheers, and many of the magicians who had long seen Rommel was not very pleasing to the Holy Empire shouted in cheers for Julils.
"Very accurate prediction. Mendeleev in the crowd commented that he was also a recognized genius in earth elemental magic, and it was only then that everyone realized that the three earth spikes formed a triangle that surrounded Rommel.
Rommel wiped the blood from his forehead, Yingting's eyebrows and eyes were slightly distorted, his expression was cold and abnormal, and he said in a cold voice: "Do you think this is useful?"
With a flick of his hand, dazzling flames erupted from around him, swamming around him like a snake for weeks, the three earth spears and the thorns flying towards him quickly melted in the heat and turned into a cloud of dirty mud.
Rommel quickly chanted incantations, incredibly fast, and in less than half a minute, he had completed three incantations.
A cyan breeze swirled around him, and the [Breeze Surrounding] of the elemental spells was able to disrupt all spells with the nature of physical attacks, causing them to deviate from the tracks.
[Elemental Veto], the spell of choice used by mid-tier mages to resist elemental magic.
The most dangerous spell was the blue-white arc of lightning that swirled around his head, writhing restlessly, bursting into tiny sparks and crackling as it came into contact with the air.
[Lightning Chain], this is the mid-level version of high-level magic [Lightning], an extremely domineering attack magic, and its power even surpasses the high-level magic of many factions.
The difficulty of casting this spell is also one of the most recognized among all mid-tier magic, and no one of the magicians present is capable of using it except Maxwell, who is the most outstanding in lightning-type magic.
This dragon lancer is not only proficient in the elemental magic of the fire and frost systems, but can even control the magic of the electric attribute freely? The magicians in the field all changed color, and were once again shocked by Rommel's talent.
The blue-white arc of lightning shot out, like a whip towards Julis, and wherever the electric light went, the leaves all over the ground burned, and it was automatically ignited just by the edge of the electric light, and it was not difficult to imagine how strong the magic of this blow was.
In the face of such a sharp blow, Julils, who should have panicked, smiled, and his smile was very sarcastic.
"Mr. Kant said in the first class that magic is first and foremost a law, not a force, but unfortunately you didn't listen to the lecture properly, Rommel. Julils smiled, and snapped her fingers.
Several soil thorns burst out of the earth, blocking the path of lightning, and the electric light hit the several mud pillars made of the soil of the lakeside wetland, igniting them, and the mud pillars instantly collapsed, but the mud pillars perfectly directed all the electricity to the earth, which took a lot of Rommel's mental power to release the lightning chain was easily cracked.
Julius chanted softly, and pale yellow magic runes lit up on the ground, and sharp thorns of earth sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, instantly forming a dense brown forest, surrounding Rommel.
He calmly faced Rommel's slightly angry gaze and said, "This is the home arena I chose for the duel, how dare I come if I am not prepared?"
The "forest" in front of him is the full version of [Wrath of the Earth], but this magic is manipulated by a magic array buried in the ground in advance, and Julils only needs to provide less mental power to drive, similar to an enlarged magic scroll.
Juliles, while brave, is not stupid.
In the six months after entering the school, he had been to the shore of Inmeng Lake many times, and unexpectedly found that the concentration of magic near this lake seemed to be much higher than that of other places in the academy.
After secretly researching the information, he found that using the characteristics of the environment here, it was easy to set up a medium-sized magic array.
This [Wrath of the Earth] magic array was what he prepared for Rommel.
The magicians present were not ordinary people, and they quickly understood the current situation, and in addition to lamenting Rommel's contempt for his enemies, they also had to admire Juliels' wit and forbearance.
"It's really the style of the Francos. A magician said with a complicated face, it is true that for hundreds of years, the Duchy of France has been torn between two empires, and this unfavorable situation has made the Franks accustomed to using all conditions as much as possible to defeat opponents far stronger than themselves, as Julius did in front of him.
"What a surprise for my old man, boy. Joey in the distance sighed, "This method is not much worse than Innocent back then." โ
"Oh, did the teacher use a similar method to deal with that senior?"
"Almost, but Julils may not have imagined that the reason why the concentration of magic power in this lake area is ridiculously high is that Innocent guy did it back then, don't look at his serious appearance in front of the world, he was more powerful than anyone else back then. Joey snorted, mocking.
In the Temple of Radiance, the Pope, who was taking a nap, sneezed.
Rommel stood in the center of the "Wrath of the Earth" magic array, he was surrounded by thousands of ground thorns at the moment, and he seemed to be helpless, but the fighting spirit burning in his eyes was stronger than ever.
"Well done, you're the first magician to push me to this point. Rommel said coldly, waving his hand to remove the two protective magic spells on his body, "It's a pity that in the face of real power, this little trick is useless, let me teach you a lesson." โ
A dazzling silver light flashed, and dozens of silver limans erupted from the brown thorn jungle, spinning rapidly, cutting off all the thorns in front of him like wheat harvesting, and countless dirt splattered in all directions.
Julis's face changed slightly, and he began to chant another incantation.
However, in the few minutes he had recited, the magic trap he had laid had been unrecognizable.
Those dozens of silver rays of light "opened the killing ring" in the ground thorn bushes, no matter how strong the earth spear was slashed by this silver light, it would be split in two, Rommel waved his hand easily, and commanded the dozens of silver rays to cut through the thorns all the way towards Julils.
When all the ground thorns were smashed, the dozen or so silver lights stopped turning, revealing their true faces, which were actually a dozen silver swords with cold light and glittering.
[Sword Blade Barrier], the caster transforms the magic into metal elements, summoning many sharp long swords to defend their own defensive magic, which belongs to the compound spell of the three fields of arcane, alchemy, and elemental, and is known for its super high casting difficulty, even in the group of high-level mages, few people can master this spell.
Rommel looked at each other condescendingly and said indifferently: "Now, do you understand the gap between you and me?"
Julils smiled bitterly and gave up chanting the incantation, knowing that at this distance, any more forced attack would only be a dying struggle.
"However, I'm not going to let you go like this, and if I let you go like this, wouldn't it be too cheap for that old thief of Lyles. โ
A cruel smile squeezed out of the corners of Rommel's mouth, and then Julils felt his body go numb and froze in place, Rommel used the [Immobilization Technique] so fast that he couldn't even react.
The next moment, a [Mage's Hand] slammed into his body, and Julis's body flew up like a cloud, hitting his head against a tree, and blood was left on his forehead, wetting his robes.
Rommel stroked the scar on his forehead and sneered, "It's miserable, Julils, this is my return gift to you." โ
Bang! Another spell fell, this time with much lighter force, leaving only half of Julis's cheek swollen.
Some of the mages in the field couldn't bear it and wanted to step forward to dissuade them, but they were glared back by Rommel with murderous eyes, and no one wanted to get along with such a mixture of genius and madman.
"See, wanton is the right of the strong, and wastes like you and them deserve to lie here and beat me. Rommel glanced contemptuously at the cadets watching the battle.
"With this shame, go back to Fran. Rommel narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
The chill quickly condensed in his hand, and a dark blue frost spear was already in his hand.
"Stop. A terrible roar rang out, and a pale, beautiful girl rushed out of the crowd and stood in front of Julius, who was none other than Juno, except that she looked no better than Juliels, and her whole right hand was wrapped in a bandage.
"If you dare to do it, my father will not let you go. Juno stared at the dragon lance youth and said angrily.
"If you didn't want him to have a leg ruined by me, you shouldn't have made a move on me the other day, Miss Juno. Rommel scoffed, "Besides, your father is not Lord Joey, and he has nothing to do to stop me, and I will only be locked up by this broken academy for a month or two, and all the dragonlancers will applaud my actions." โ
Juno couldn't bear it any longer, an arcane missile smashed directly into Rommel, the dragon lancer youth lazily waved his hand, the missile turned around in mid-air, and fell into the lake of Inmeng, he waved his hand, and a whirlwind appeared out of thin air, blowing Juno away.
He then aimed the ice spear at Julils, who looked at him fearlessly, showing no sign of pleading.
The crowd continued to exclaim, and several mages who usually had a good relationship with Julils had gloomy faces, but they had no intention of helping.
A wave of magic fluctuated, and the lilac ball of light appeared very suddenly, falling towards Rommel in a wonderful arc...... Ice spear in hand.
With a bang, under Rommel's incredulous gaze, the ice spear shattered under the blow of the arcane missile, turning into ice slag and splashing away, hitting Rommel in the face, leaving a few thin traces of blood.
Not only him, but the rest of the mages who reacted were also stunned.
The Ice Spear was a true mid-level elemental magic, how could a mere Arcane Missile destroy it?and, at such a distance, what an astonishing magical control it would be to let the Arcane Missile hit the shallow Ice Spear in the Dragon Lance Mage's hand?
