Chapter 721: Patience and Waiting
The central battlefield of the manor, at this moment, it is no longer possible to see where the former manor mansion is located. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Both the inner hall and the outer hall, which had been "knocked out" at the beginning of the battle, no longer existed, and there was nothing left except for a pile of ruins.
And in the midst of the battlefield, where all the buildings have been destroyed and what looks like a wilderness platform, the offensive and defensive battle between Tafel and Cheruth continues.
The fluid-like mutated wind elemental flew in the air like poisonous snakes, and at the same time, the mutated thunder magic spear array with a solid form also flew down towards the ground below like a torrential rain, but in the next second, from the ground below, countless light blue magic rune sequences of different lengths soared into the air, flying towards the magic vision in the sky.
The moment they were fused by the magic runes one by one, both the mutated wind snake and the mutated thunder spear quickly began to collapse strangely, but before they could completely dissipate, a red fire cloud composed of the mutated fire element gathered in the sky again, and in the next second, the red lotus flame, which was enough to burn everything, turned into the form of lightning, and with the amazing speed and power that lightning should have, it directly slashed towards the source of those magic runes on the ground.
Boom!
The "Fire Thunder" fell to the ground, but was blocked by a thick wall of light, and the two collided with each other with a huge popping sound. Although the wall of light could see that the magic structure was slightly unstable because of this blow, a new sequence of magic runes soon flew out from inside the wall of light, canceling out all the next flames and thunders through the spell inducing collapse, and also allowing this light barrier magic that firmly guarded the wolf girl to use this time to restore its best state.
The caster of mutated elemental magic, Tafel stood at one end of the battlefield, his unusually calm expression combined with the amazing magical power of the mutated elemental magic that was constantly being bred around him to produce arcane magic, which looked very disagreeable.
It seemed that he didn't care at all about the magic consumption caused by the continuous release of these arcane-level mutant spells without pause, and he didn't have any anger at the opponent's use of that weird magic rune as a resistance to hold on to his hands until now, as if he was just a magician scholar who was simply conducting some kind of magic experiment, and the content of his experiment was how long Cheruth and his party could last under the endless baptism of mutant elemental magic that was enough to destroy at least a medium-sized city with any random one。
Such an expression fell into the eyes of Cheruth and the others, which naturally made them feel extremely pressured.
While Wolf Maiden's self-destructive method of using magic runes to induce self-destruction of magic spells developed against Tafel has proven to be effective in actual combat, in reality, it still has an unavoidable weakness.
That is, no matter how powerful the magical perception and magical manipulation abilities that Cheruth obtained by using the laws of evolution to minimize the events required to search for flaws in Tafel's new spell and send the edited sequence of magic runes into Tafel's spell, the most important step, the step of editing the sequence of magic runes targeted to the flaws of the spell through Cheruth's mind, took a hard and hard drain that could not be reduced。
How the sequence of magic runes should be edited had to be decided by Cheruth through thought. Cheruth's brain is not only not slow in this regard, but even the absolute number one master in editing the sequence of magic runes with special effects on the continent today, but after all, even if the machine is running some complex calculation programs, it will be stuck for a few seconds or more than ten seconds, no matter how fast Cheruth's thinking speed is, it is impossible to draw conclusions the moment she sees Tafel's technique.
Strictly speaking, this rune editing thinking time that cannot be omitted is actually only a dozen seconds behind, although it is said to be a weakness, but in fact, there are not many people who can seize the gap of more than ten seconds, no, it should be said that no one on this continent can do it except Tafel.
But Tafel just did it.
No matter how far Cheruth exploited the application potential of the magic rune spell, she had to admit that from the perspective of casting a single magic spell, the traditional magic spell that uses mental power to guide it always had an advantage over the magic rune spell in terms of casting speed. It is obvious that you can cast spells just thinking about it, and on the other hand, you have to have an operation and editing process.
The advantage of the magic rune spell is that it can rely on the machine to perform spell manipulation, and the caster only needs to use his brain to calculate and edit, so there is no continuous spell fatigue and hard spell casting stiffness, and after combining the negative effects that will occur in these actual spells, the magic rune spell will be low in continuous long-term casting, and has the advantage of casting speed over traditional spells.
However, continuous spell casting fatigue and hard spell casting stiffness are things that cannot be avoided as long as they are magicians, but they don't seem to be a problem at all when they are put in Tafel. It should be said that it is worthy of being the final boss leader, Tafel gives Cheruth the feeling that it is more like a real idealized spell casting machine than a magic channel, and even Cheruth is a little skeptical that Tafel has actually modified his body and equipped a biological magic guide circuit that does not produce spell casting fatigue.
Putting aside the difficulty of releasing mutated elemental magic that only Tafel can use in this world, which has a completely different morphological law from normal magic methods, and simply starts with the magic power and the frequency of spell casting. To tell the truth, even if it is a top spellcaster in the continent at the level of Herlan and Sumario, to release this super arcane at such a frequent speed, I am afraid that it is only the limit that can release five or six rounds in a row, although it is not five or six rounds that can consume their magic power, but the accumulated fatigue will make them have to slow down the casting speed to give their mental power a sufficient chance to rest.
However, Tafel didn't need any rest, just shot after shot, repeating the action of building the spell to complete the spell at an astonishing speed, from the time Cheruth showed the ability to induce the collapse of the spell until now, Tafel has maintained it for more than ten minutes, and it still hasn't shown a bit of decline, and even the speed has not weakened or stopped at all.
There is an upper limit to the editing speed of Cheruth's magic runes, this upper limit is theoretically only a little faster than Tafel's continuous casting speed, in a short period of time, Cheruth is completely able to suppress any magic of Tafel with magic runes, but this is like magic fatigue after a long spell casting, long-term efficient mental operation, so that the wolf girl's mental state will inevitably be affected by fatigue, Tafel's monster can always maintain that amazing spell casting speed, but Cheruth can't always maintain the theoretical upper limit of the spell editing speed。
And once Cheruth's speed decreases and begins to slow down Tafel's casting speed, even if it is only a little slower, then naturally, the complete suppression of Tafel's magic cannot be constituted. Originally, when Tafel's magic was just formed, it could cause the spell to collapse, but now it has become a time lag that after Tafel's magic has been formed and has begun to attack, Cheruth's inducing rune sequence has been edited and shot. Although Tafel's magic will eventually be destroyed by Cheruth's spell inducement before it can exert its original full effect, the first few attacks are enough to threaten Cheruth, who has reduced her abilities other than magical energy perception and magical energy manipulation in order to exert the maximum power of the magic damage induced.
Because of this, except for Able Qi Ruth, the other five seventh-order high-level powerhouses had already gathered around the wolf girl and consciously assumed the role of guardian.
Selman and Herlan and others have been very clear about the gap between themselves and Tafel in the previous battles, if they are still fighting separately, no matter the offense and defense have no chance of winning against Tafel, and if they want to join forces to pour out a combined attack, Tafel will not give them that opportunity and time to brew. At the moment, although they were a little unwilling, they had to admit that if their side wanted to confront Tafel head-on, find and reap the opportunity to win, they really had to rely on this hand of Cheruth that made them feel amazing and incomprehensible to induce collapse.
Using the energy confluence magic of the White Elf High Priestess Alain, the five people except for Cheruth concentrated all their original magic power on the body of Luna, the archer of the light system. Although Luna usually shows very strong bowing skills and attack power in battle, her knowledge in the field of defensive magic is not weak. Using the vast amount of magic she had gained from the others, she was able to build a light-magic barrier around Cheruth that was so powerful that it could rival the magic power of Tafel.
Most of Tafel's magic was solved by Cheruth using a spell to induce Honkai, and the few attacks that leaked due to the time gap were blocked by Luna and others with the concerted efforts of Guardian Magic, and in this way, everyone finally withstood Tafel's earth-shattering magic bombardment, although they were at a disadvantage, but they were able to maintain the balance of power in the end.
However, it will not work out after all, as mentioned before, in the eyes of Cheruth, Tafel, who has been continuously casting spells for such a long time, does not show any fatigue at all, both on the surface and from the magic power cast, and originally planned to consume the opponent's battle in this way, but now it seems that the effect of fatigue has a greater impact on Cheruth on their side.
However, the solution to the situation is not so easy to find, Tafel's strength is too strong, and those mutated elemental magic full of strange properties are even more unheard of for them. Flames that can burn more vigorously when they encounter water, thunder and lightning that can spread along the earth, as long as they are not careful, even the seventh-order high-level ones may be hit by a blow in the battle with Tafel and fall into a state of inability to fight.
Eventually, in this situation, Cheruth came up with a feasible solution.
Using the insertion of a sequence of magic runes to induce the collapse of the spell, although it can destroy the magic from the root of the spell in defiance of the caster's will, it will not cause the magic to backlash against the caster.
After all, this is not a magic collapse caused by a mistake on the part of the caster, but an error in the operation of the magic after the connection with the caster has been severed by the magic rune inserted from the outside world. Therefore, although it is an abnormal collapse of magic, it does not harm the mage itself.
However, on the other hand, if you can detect it as soon as the opponent constructs the technique, and insert the magic rune sequence with the extremely effective guidance technique collapse function into it before the spell is formed, then the backlash will occur.
The method that Chelus thought of was to use the method of inducing the collapse of the spell to inflict a magical counterattack on Tafel, which was also the most reliable and threatening counterattack they could think of after being completely suppressed by Tafel. The backlash of arcane-level magic, even Tafel will definitely not feel good.
But while the idea is good, the implementation is not so simple.
Cheruth, who was already mentally fatigued, couldn't edit the magic runes at the same time as Tafel's mental power to build traditional magic spells, so it was obviously not feasible to start editing spells at the same time as Tafel cast spells. However, if you want to edit the corresponding magic rune in advance and send it over immediately when the other party starts to cast the spell, then you will face the problem of the compatibility between the magic rune sequence and the spell in Tafel's hand.
Because the biggest difference between the magic system in the process of building the magic spell and the magic that has been separated from the magician and started to operate on its own is that there is a large amount of spiritual power and will from the magician's personal inside, so unless it is a very targeted and powerful enough magic guide rune, and the insertion process is neat and concealed enough, the caster's mental power that has not withdrawn the structure of the spell will immediately notice and easily smooth out this piece of the wrong spell that has been inserted.
In the end, Cheruth chose to write a technique in advance, and then kept it in her own hands and ready to go.
Wait, wait for Tafel to unleash a spell that is extremely compatible with her powerful induction technique, and then strike a blow, and until then, resist and endure with all her might......
