Chapter 18: Narrowly Won
Renard watched as Jeremiaia Campbell of the Fire faction defeated Kleist Walker of the Thunder with a beautiful combination spell, but his mind wandered a little. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć As for what the mind wandered about, he couldn't remember it himself, only remembered that his emotional seal fluctuated many times, and in the end his heart was still peaceful, although he didn't remember any of Jeremiah Campbell's and Kleist's Walker's movements at all except for the beautiful combination spell at the end.
The next game is his match with Sally Tirpitz, Renard is a little in a trance, he feels as if he is worried about something, this worry is so strong that the emotional seal is a little uncontrollable, but the emotional seal is not as simple as directly calming the emotional fluctuations, if the emotional fluctuations of a thing are too strong, the seal will help you not think about it, and press this thought in the bottom of your heart. He raised his head, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, stood up, and prepared to go on stage. He looked at Sally Tirpitz, the pink-haired girl still quietly reading the book, as if she was not affected by the next match at all. Natasha, who had been defeated by Renard before, kept talking in her ear, but Renard didn't listen.
When the referee announced that the players were on the field, Renard walked into the ring with his legs a little mechanically, and Sally gently handed the book on her lap to Natasha, and then walked up as well. The match began after the referee refilled the two layers of shields on the two men.
Reynard, who was a little agitated, didn't want to dwell too much, so he hit a punishment blow at the beginning, Sally didn't react to the shield on his body becoming a little dim, Renard was still guiding the second punishment, Sally's spell was completed, a spring of water rushed up from the bottom of Renard's feet, he lost his balance and fell to the ground suddenly, and the spell in his brain that should not be affected was also interrupted.
Renard was doused with water, a little sober, and understood that this was the Spring Surge Technique, a very insidious spell, in addition to knocking down, but also allowing the water element to temporarily "trap" the affected person, this effect is called elemental isolation, and then they only need to be in the shroud area of the water element, when using spells outside the water system, the caster's level is reduced by 1, which is equivalent to silence for the apprentice.
But at this time, Sally's next spell also hit, a greasy spell, so that the fallen Renard could not get up, Renard knew what was going to happen next, supported the ground with both hands, knelt on one knee, and used force on his back feet, rushed forward two steps, and immediately fell to the ground because of greasy, Renard slid forward, and at this time Sally dropped a splash of acid in the direction of Renard's slide.
The shield on Renard's body quickly became dim, and after he rushed out of the area of effect of the acid splash, he hurriedly used a holy light spell on himself, because he felt that there were spells coming next, and he could only use one spell, and a single punishment could not break Sally's shield.
Renard's shield became bright again, and when he turned around, he saw that Sally's hand was glowing with a blue light that was lighter than the color of water-based magic, and he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly began to cast the Holy Word Spell. Battles that could have been easily won are now a bit dangerous because of the distraction he started with, the wrong tactical choice.
The Word Spell was completed before Sally's spell, and Sally was forced to get down on one knee and begin to repent, but the incomplete ice spell still took effect, and a small blue aura spread out on the ground beside Reynard, and Reynard's feet and calves were frozen into a large block of ice. Renard was bitter, and he could feel that the elemental isolation effect was still there, albeit weakened. He didn't know that Sally could use ice spells.
Ordinary water mages can only control ice at the same time when they are full-fledged mages, but a small number of talented water mages have this ability at the apprenticeship stage, and it seems that Sally is definitely one of them. Renard doesn't dare to wake Sally now, Sally wakes up and uses the Ice Arrow again, although the damage of the Ice Arrow alone is not high, but the damage will be very terrifying when combined with the freezing effect, it will be increased by five to ten times compared to usual, and the shield on Renard's body will definitely be finished.
Renard was not idle when he was frozen, he endured the slow speed of light elemental gathering, and used nearly five times the cast time to use a light banning spell on his side, similar to Bart Owen's shadow web before, an area around Renard became completely dark, and then Renard carefully gathered a little fire element in his hand to accelerate the melting of the ice.
Everyone has a little bit of all-element communication ability, but each person can only use one elemental spell at most, and Renard gathers a little fire element in his hand, which has no effect other than neutralizing the ice element opposite to the fire element. When Reynard's time was almost up, he raised his hand to slash at him, just as the effect of the Holy Word spell ended.
Sally woke up and couldn't aim, so she didn't hesitate to give up using the ice arrow, and instead started to use acid sputtering, Renard grabbed the fire element in his hand to melt the ice, and after the acid splash came out, the freezing technique was finally weak enough to break free, Renard rushed out without hesitation, and after being out of the range of acid splashing, Renard was not surprised to see a greasy technique.
Renard didn't try to resist the process of losing his balance, but instead pushed his back foot, so that he could slide out faster, leaving the area of influence of the greasy technique, and as soon as the elemental isolation effect disappeared, he saw that the ice arrow in Sally's hand was almost complete, Renard knew very well that if he was hit by the ice arrow again, the slowdown and elemental isolation effect of up to five seconds would make him completely unable to fight back, and the thought turned for a moment, and he made a move.
Vertigo!
The elemental light in Sally's hand disappeared randomly, she didn't have the same nosebleed as Jasam, but her eyes became dilated and unfocused, and her body shook from side to side twice, and finally she didn't fall to the ground. Renard took the opportunity to land two consecutive punishments to completely break Sally's shield.
The referee gave Renard a suspicious look, but Renard still responded with a zombie face, pretending not to know anything. The referee didn't ask, just declared Renard the winner. At this time, Renard saw that Sally was a little unsteady on her feet, walked up to her, and gently held her arm, but Natasha rushed up and viciously opened Renard's arm and replaced it with herself to support Sally.
Renard was noncommittal, and just walked with Sally and Natasha. Although he didn't know why he was like this, he seemed to instinctively want to find something to rely on.
Sally seemed to have recovered from sitting in her chair, she smiled and comforted Natasha, Renard sat expressionlessly, he was vaguely uneasy, but he didn't know what the problem was, and he didn't have the heart to smile like before.
