Act VII: The Raven's Decision (7)

Uls Leinster's task was not to break the enemy's spells head-on, as that would undoubtedly allow the ensuing destruction to spread further. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is almost an unwritten rule in the industry that a qualified sorcerer should show respect when facing opponents who are also sorcerers. Therefore, the magic that poured out in the direction he was pointing was not too aggressive, but gradually wrapped around the wave that hit the wall at an extremely slow speed.

He needs to use the corrosive magic of the Moonstone Fragments to infiltrate the Scourge that has fallen apart, replenishing the crumbling Rubik's Cubes and seizing control of the spell. It may be a complex and lengthy project, but the results are beyond imagination.

The biggest point in reverse engineering a spell is not to make a dangerous spell harmless, but to understand and master the principles of a spell and use it for yourself. Historically, there have been many techniques that were once called "arcane techniques" that have been the sole possession of some schools, and it is through the reverse analysis of the techniques used by other schools of thought that they are enemies that the hidden knowledge is widely understood.

Understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing are words that alchemists often use on their lips, and they are also the core part of the basic theory of the discipline. When they understand the qualities of something, they can disassemble it in the cauldron and remake it into metal, potions, or other things.

Sorcery is a technique that perceives the world and then constructs magic into phenomena through algorithms called "magic", which may seem mysterious and convenient to the layman, but more often than not, it is just a knowledge that requires a lot of mental energy to study for those who control them.

Just because a person has magic doesn't mean they can cast spells, as they don't necessarily have the knowledge to understand how a "phenomenon" is created, and they don't have the computing power to support a complex spell. It seems that in many cases, people's eyes tend to only see the phenomenon of the spell, and do not look beyond the surface to see the Rubik's cube that is constantly running underneath and the large number of calculations.

In the course of his past battles with other Learned Wizards, Urs Leinster has mastered many of his enemies' techniques through reverse dismantling of spells. Even though the spell had broken down to almost the same now, he was still confident that he could put it back together.

"This old crow is thinking about something, does he really think that he has such a big belly that he can swallow this thing that is designated for a simulated natural disaster? ”

But Akuli obviously didn't think so, and just said in a voice mixed with suspicion, "How much does this guy want...... He was only a crow, but greedy as a snake—did he really think that this magic in form was just a mold, and that he was not satisfied with the ability to limit the harm to such an extent, and was even ready to take this power into his own hands?"

When Uls Leinster began to try to use the magic in the moonstone fragments to reconcile the calamity that had little power left outside, a look of worry gradually appeared on Akuli's face. Even now, she could feel the suspicious magic emanating from the remnants of the spell maintaining some kind of operation, and it was impossible for Urs, who was unaware of this, to take the risk of reversing the spell for the sake of the possible gain.

It's often said that the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, but when the potential threat to one's goals is high, these benefits are not worth trying. Now Urles Leinster is doing the same thing as gambling, and he is gambling on many hands.

It seems that humans like to use creatures such as snakes to describe greedy people, and even extend many colloquialisms to strengthen the perception of this image. However, in Akuli's opinion, some people who should have been nothing more than "crows" are really greedy compared to themselves who have inherited the blood of the serpent.

It wasn't that she couldn't understand how tempting it was for a sorcerer to use spells to simulate the phenomenon designated by the Scourge, but it was still far from being completed. If he wanted to decipher any useful magical theories from the current tattered wreckage, it would take less than a fraction of the reward—but even if he knew it, he couldn't help but want to try it.

This esoteric and unsolvable spell has such a strong attraction that a high-ranking wizard like Urles Leinster, who has studied spell theory for many years, can't help but want to explore the hidden truth within. There was no doubt that dismantling the spells that attacked the manor was only his apparent purpose, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to learn about the types of spells used by the opposing group, and at the same time bring those powers under his control.

This is undoubtedly a large and complex project, which cannot be completed with just a few sporadic reverse interpretations, so the most that needs to be done here is the first step. But because of this, he would not easily give up the opportunity to interpret it, after all, the technique condensed in the spell in front of him should be the latest knowledge that the other party has mastered.

Exploring the unknown is inherently dangerous, let alone stepping into a spell array that is on the verge of disintegration at his own risk. In the process of interpretation, Sir Leinster not only had to carefully place the pieces of the disintegrated puzzle in the correct place, but also had to transform his magic into part of the spell from time to time, filling in the missing pieces of the Rubik's Cube.

Most of the techniques used to repair the core part of the Rubik's Cube were arranged by Urs Leinster according to his own understanding of the theory of magic, and he directly filled them in without trial and error. To put it bluntly, if there was a slight mistake in the spell he had compiled, the already fragmented spell would further disintegrate, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.

I don't know if it's because of his luck, or if his knowledge of magic theory is enough for him to see the subtleties and discern the proper form of all the Rubik's cubes that reside in the entire spell. The magic of the moonstone shards was vast but delicate, pulsating nimbly on his fingertips.

Under Sir Leinster's subtle harmony, two distinct but extremely similar magical forces snapped together to form a crooked spell structure. The grand magic of the moonstone fragments swelled, but it didn't swallow all the turbid magic of the Scourge in one breath, and the two different magic powers rippled under the run-in, causing layers of spotted patterns to appear on the surface of the broken spell.

The phenomenon of killing - the state of manifestation when two mutually restraining magical powers erode each other, and those "ripples" that ripple from the surface of the spell are actually the magic that has been squeezed out of its original person. This is a rather unstable state, and while the sorcery phenomenon as a whole will level off due to the intrinsic constraints of the two magical powers, the slightest mistake in detail can lead to a complete collapse of the delicate balance.

Generally speaking, this state does not last long, and the strength of the two types of magic power has already determined the final outcome from the beginning. It won't be long before the ephemeral balance of the killing state will collapse, and the side that lacks the power of follow-up has retreated step by step under the erosion of the magnificent magic power of the moonstone fragments, and even the Rubik's Cubes in the core area that are protected by residual thoughts are about to be crushed.

But this wasn't what Uls Leinster wanted, because if he let them collapse on their own, his plan to dismantle their infrastructure by usurping control of spells would be in vain. In order to keep the few remaining intact spells, he must gradually integrate his magic power into the surrounding spells, and capture the core of the Rubik's Cube without triggering the part of the self-destruct spell that the enemy mage wrote with his last will.

This is the most critical moment, and whether Uls Leinster can gain control of the technique depends on what he does next. There are more than a hundred possibilities for the other party to fail and self-disintegrate, but there is only one ultimate path for him to achieve his goal.

Even Frick, who was only watching from afar, felt Sir Leenster's nervousness in the slowly unfolding moon phases, and they climbed up the serpent's body like chains to reveal the existence of the "natural scourge", leaving a faint mark on the crumbling and broken shell.

The patterns that seem to be chains are in fact coherent and coherent ancient texts, which begin to be embedded in the outermost form of the spell, and gradually probe deeper, and the parts that are entangled by them quickly crystallize and solidify. The shimmering words not only gradually restrained the spell with the designated appearance of the Scourge, but also barely maintained it to the point where it would not disintegrate from the inside out due to the overload of its own internal mana.

This wasn't just the old crow's ploy to delay time control spells, as Frick found that the ancient texts embedded in different regions had corresponding power, and he had barely held some of the spells that were about to fall apart in place, maintaining their basic functioning ability.

Soon, Urs Leinster controlled the part of the magic derived from the moonstone fragment to reach the Rubik's Cube area, the core of the local magic, and I don't know if it was because those residual thoughts had gradually been swallowed up by the corrosive magic power, he didn't even encounter the most basic resistance, and effortlessly passed through the "wall" that was supposed to protect the core part to reach the target area.

The layers of mana were like an extension of the arm, peeling back the shell that wrapped around the Rubik's Cube in the core area, connecting with the only complete spell in the entire spell. At this moment, he had an unprecedented feeling that his body was integrated with the "Great Snake" on the verge of collapse, and he could control his actions as he pleased, and he also understood what kind of ability was needed to maintain this spell.

In the end, he won the game.
