Caster Duel

It wasn't very difficult for Xi Xiangyu to make it to the quarterfinals, and although he met classmates who were equally strong, there was still a way to win by opportunism.

After all, his instincts were originally the ability to be used exclusively in battle, and it was not difficult to know the opponent's strengths and weaknesses in advance and target them.

Fighting warriors targets their weak resistance to magic, and mages target their fragile bodies, and the joy of encountering a variety of spells without preparation can deal with a wide range.

This will only happen when he is much stronger than the enemy, and the next day he will meet a mage who is comparable to his ability to cast spells.

It was Elven Mage Elenia Siamnod from the mage department, who not only inherited the elves' secret magic skills, but also traveled abroad for decades, both in terms of arcane knowledge and the application of spells, he was the best among this class of students.

As soon as the two sides entered the venue, the high elf mage met with angry questioning.

"Happy to meet, the murderer of the former prince, you dare to show up with a swagger?

"You are fighting for power internally, and you are bringing the fire to others, who will I go to to cry out for injustice, even if there is no basic law in this world, you have to be reasonable, okay? 」

Hearing his argument, Elenia calmed down, concentrating on the staff in her hand, feeling the remaining stock of spells in it.

"I see, it's really hard to negotiate with you. ”

"Two students, don't bring the hatred of reality to the playing field. ”

With the command of the instructor who served as the referee, the two spellcasters, who were both in the spotlight in the academy, began a duel.

The Mage of Gorantia...... Battles between primary casters are neither like other worlds that smash shockwaves with each other, nor like some worlds that deal massive damage with each other.

Casting protective spells on oneself, countering/disarming opponents' spells, summoning monsters to support and interfere, and finally casting spells to defeat the opponent are the mainstream of Gorantia's spell duels.

Of course, each class also has its own characteristics, for example, the warlock bombards each other from beginning to end, the druid casts spells and transforms wildly to fight with the opponent, and the priest may lead a large number of undead creatures or bless himself with a few magic spells and copy the war hammer to do it.

And the mage is omnipotent, and the mage who prepares spells for purpose is almost invincible in the face of the things he targets.

Elenia had apparently prepared a targeted spell because she knew in advance that her opponent was happy to meet, and as soon as she started, she quickly flew away from the spot and flew into the air. This makes the druid's heavily ground-based spells completely ineffective, such as the Fossil Mud and Mud to Stone he used in the first game, while also preventing both beasts and druids from meeting in close combat.

Flying is always one of the most classic and effective spells.

"What's the matter, don't you want to beat me in public and taunt me? I still have to save my hole cards to guard against assassins, I won't use all my strength to fight you, now is the best time to defeat me." 」

Seeing Elenia's rational distance, he was happy to meet and cast a spell and took out a green branch full of life from his bag, while constantly talking and harassing the elven mage in the air.

The fact that sorcery-like spells do not require any ingredients fosters the habit of doing things in combat, such as constantly taunting or bombarding each other with spam.

Elenia had long since investigated that Joy was a user of similar spells, so she paid a lot of money to use the "magic constancy technique" to constancy the "arcane vision" for herself, a spell that allows the recipient to automatically see all magical aura within 120 feet with the naked eye. So even though the Joy Encounter-like spell doesn't have spells or gestures, she can still "see" the Joy Encounter's spell.

Unimpressed by the taunts of the Joy Encounter, the mage's sanity told him that he must ignore all information given by the other party in battle. Focusing on the battle itself, and discerning the aura, she judged that the same spell she cast was flying.

Elenia then casts the "Advanced Mirror Shadow Technique" to create 8 identical mirror images of herself, so that she can't easily hit her with a directional spell.

At the same time, she began to observe the branch in Xixiang's hand, and from the strong magical aura, it was obviously a magic item that was not weak. Is this a magic weapon for happy encounters? Or is it a magic staff? Elenia began to pay some attention to the movements of Happy Encounter's hands.

"It's rare that you've spent a lot of magic to perform advanced mirror shadow arts, should I make a wrong directional attack as a courtesy?

The said Elenia was shocked, and her mind was full of questions about how to see through her true location. This momentary distraction prevented her from leaving the explosion range of the Joyful Encounter Spell Fireball Technique in time, and she suffered a lot of shock. (Regular spell duel casters usually have the damage dealt by the spell converted into a harmless mental shock, otherwise it is a foul.) ）

"Ahem......"

"Actually, I don't even know where you are, so I'll just talk about it. 」

Injured by Joyful Encounter, Elenia triggered the "Trigger" spell that had been cast the night before—a spell that could be triggered under certain conditions in advance. Her injuries were healed by a triggered Elven Esoteric Magic.

Having learned her lesson, Elenia was determined not to be affected by the words of happy encounters, and this person would use words to confuse the enemy outside the scope of normal combat, so she had to be guarded against.

Regrouped, Elenia calmly and gracefully cast spells, chanting incantations that were connected like a beautiful ballad. This is not a regular arcane, but a special mystical arcane that has been passed down from time immemorial by the elves.

Even after reading all the books in the school library and the Heras Mage Tower, I don't know what kind of spell it is, what effect it can have, and how to prepare for it. Elenya's spell-casting skills are not something that can be dismantled by the ordinary dissolving spells that he can only cast now, so he chose to meet each other......

"If you can understand this kind of magic, it seems that you are not your average high elf, but it doesn't matter. You sound wonderful when you chant the mantra seriously, would you be interested in singing it?"

Saying that, he took out a green branch from his waist bag again.

If you are happy to meet, the hearts of the audience will be instantly cold, and at this time, if you open your mouth, there is no chance to escape, and the attack called infrasonic waves will have no effect even if you block your ears.

Elenia, who was angry in her heart, also became anxious, and the chanting of the incantation increased significantly. Finally, the spell came to an abrupt end, and nothing seemed to happen on the field.

The audience was silent until someone noticed something unusual in the sky.

"Look, what is that in heaven?"
