Chapter 715: Battle in the Rainstorm
Outside the manor, some distance from the entrance, in the wilderness, a war was raging in the midst of a rainstorm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the pouring rain, countless warriors, much taller and stronger than normal people, armed with spears and knives, confronted the strange-looking monsters that were surrounding them. Some of these monsters look like beasts, some look like crude dolls with no facial features or detailed body lines, and some are simply a mass of slime-like monsters...... The only thing they have in common is that the bodies of these monsters are made of crystalline water masses.
That's right, it should be flowing water that can't be fixed at all, but these waters, which fell from the sky due to heavy rain, spontaneously gathered on the ground, and then formed one monster after another with different forms, and then entangled with the warriors around them with fearless battle intent. After all, they were just a mass of water, with no life, and therefore no such thing as death.
In the face of such an enemy, even the strongest army in fact will not be able to cope with it. Even if the opponent is scattered for a while, it will only temporarily return the water blocks to their original normal state for a short time, and then they will regroup and become new enemies. Compared with physical exhaustion, psychological helplessness and despair are the biggest weapons of these water puppets who will not die.
However, the tall warriors who were fighting fiercely with these water puppets as enemies at the moment did not see the slightest wavering, and in the face of enemies who could not be killed at all, and even underwent strange transformations in battle, these warriors just silently waved the heavy and offensive weapons in their hands, repeating the monotonous movements of defense and attack. It was obviously a scene where the battle had reached a fever pitch, but apart from the sound of rain and weapons breaking into water blocks, not a single soldier in the arena let out the bloody or tragic battle cries of the normal battlefield.
Speaking of which, the identities of these tall warriors must have been clear, although because of the cover of the rainstorm and rain curtain, it is impossible to distinguish it at once like those puppets who know at a glance that they are not humans, but as long as you look closely, you will find that these tall and strong warriors are not human beings at all, but a group of puppet warriors who are also tireless and do not care about life and death.
The only astonishing fluctuation of magic that was so different from each other was that it was powerful, constantly coming from both ends of the battlefield. Wherever the earthy yellow magic fluctuations went, the earth elemental warrior puppets continued to "grow" from the ground, replenishing the vacancies of those companions who had been knocked down by the enemy, while the dark blue magic fluctuations were constantly gathering pieces of water from the ground and the air, and then "matching" them together as if there was an invisible big hand, pinching them into one water elemental puppet monster after another, with a roar but sounding more like the sound of water waves rushed towards the stocky earth elemental warrior puppets around them.
Yes, this is a war that takes place in the middle of a torrential rain, but the protagonists of the war are not the monsters and warriors that can be seen at first sight, but the two magicians who use magic to create them behind them.
Earth elemental artificial magician, a young man with a harmless round face, Leyson, and his opponent, who followed Celeth and others to crusade against Leyson's master Tafel, the former princess of the Kingdom of Lorris, and the current guardian of the covenant of Celeth, the water mage Sekaria.
To be honest, the situation between the battle with Sekaria has developed to this point, and although it did not surprise him too much, it did surprise him.
Among the man-made magicians under Tafel, in terms of frontal combat power, Leyson, who is in charge of the earth system, has never been the opponent of Silaire and Wood, who are in charge of the wind system, and Fran, who is full of firepower, and even compared to Rogers, Leyson does not seem to have any obvious advantages in terms of combat power other than combat effectiveness.
Something inconspicuous there, never a brilliant job to be delivered, but never a big deal, is the image that Leyson has always had under Tafel. Even Leyson never seemed to express too much personal feelings about the fact that he was forced by Tafel to become a monster in human skin like an artificial magician through a cruel magical experiment that subverted common sense.
That's right, compared to Silaire's arrogance that "although the magic transformation is painful, but in the end Lao Tzu became stronger and therefore invincible in the world", Wood's fanatical admiration for Tafel who transformed himself because he regained the strength he dreamed of, and Rogers and Farran's struggle and confusion about the meaning of their existence that has wavered between "human" and "tool" to this day, Leyson has never felt that his life or life goal has changed significantly because of Tafel's transformation.
Originally, he was just a poor apprentice in a small workshop, and in order to survive, even if he was beaten and bullied by his grumpy master every day, he had to work hard with Xiao against his will. And now, transformed by Tafel in a forbidden way, with the original power that he can't even dream of, but Laisen feels that he still hasn't changed, he still shows his self-worth in various tasks in order to live well under Tafel, not seeking the best, just so that Tafel who assigned the task will not be disappointed in him.
It's a little ridiculous to think about it, obviously he has the power to surpass more than ninety-nine percent of the living beings on this continent, and he is also doing big things that can have more or less impact on the fate of the underworld beings on this continent, but Laisen's mood has always been like a working boy who doesn't have too many lofty ambitions, adhering to the most unnecessary caution, pursuing the minimum goal that actually has little to pursue value.
However, at least Leyson felt that his caution did help him a lot this time.
At the gate of the manor, Cerus and the others entered the manor in order to defeat Tafel, leaving Sekaria and the three of them to deal with him on their side, as well as the Hand of Death and Wood. Wood's idiot, Leyson doesn't have to think about it to know that he will definitely despise the chestnut-haired girl who is his opponent and gives Leyson a strange sense of familiarity, and the hand of death, Leyson has never seen what he is thinking and has no interest in the psychological activities of this colleague who is always filled with an eerie atmosphere, and he himself, as always, maintains his trademark harmless smile at Sekaria as his opponent, while secretly evaluating his opponent.
He had enough reasons not to underestimate the blue-haired girl in front of him, habitual caution was one thing, and more importantly, it was because he was shocked by the growth of Sekaria's strength. A month ago in the Eastern Continent, although Leyson didn't go head-to-head with Sekaria, he also knew that this girl who was good at water magic had not reached the seventh order at all, and was only a super sixth order who had no chance of winning in front of the flange of the same level as him. But now, just from the magic fluctuations emitted, Leyson could know that this girl had definitely entered the realm of the seventh order.
In a month's time, he broke through from the sixth order to the seventh order, and it was very likely to be a seventh-order intermediate level that could compete with himself...... This kind of accident should be said to be the partner chosen by the orphans of the Nolan tribe who even the master Tafel can't figure out the context.
Therefore, from the very beginning of the battle, Leyson took out his highest-level opponent state - reserving one point of strength as the last hole card, and then showing the remaining nine points of strength without any concealment.
The plane law realm created by the law of the earth element realm is exactly what Leyson is good at. Just like when he fought against Grey Wind in the Eastern Continent, Leyson unleashed this move, turning most of the battle with Sekaria into an Earth Elemental Law Realm that he could control like a sibling from the very beginning of the battle.
However, it was clear that the other party had also come prepared, and as a companion, Sekaria had obviously heard from Grey Wind about the Leysen Earth Elemental Realm. Because of this, Sekaria used the countermeasures that had obviously been thought of before the battle, and finally succeeded in defusing the natural geographical advantage that Leyson had gained through the laws of the Earth Elemental Realm.
Originally, water elemental magic, like earth elemental magic, was a magical attribute that was good at defending rather than attacking. From the very beginning of the battle, Sekkaria launched a literal "Fury" attack on Leyson, who possessed the Earth Elemental Law Domain.
The torrent of waterfalls created out of thin air using water magic washed over and over again in Leyson's Earth Elemental Law Realm like a doomsday flood falling from the sky, and at the same time, a man-made magical rainstorm began to brew in the sky that only gathered above the area where they were fighting, and for a while, Leyson, who was in the middle of the battle field, even had the illusion that he had strayed into the legendary water elemental plane.
It was this momentary experience that led Leyson to comprehend Sekaria's intentions.
Because of the power of Leyson's law and the super strong affinity of the earth element provided by the elemental core in his body, the earth element occupies an absolute dominant position in both purity and density in the realm of Leyson's earth element law. Because of this, not only does Leyson use magic like an arm in this large area of earth elemental realm, and the magic used can gain bonuses in terms of power and efficiency, but at the same time, as his enemy, if he is not also an earth magician, then any elemental magic other than earth magic in this field will be naturally suppressed by the environment.
However, since it is not a single elemental realm formed naturally but because of the power of Leyson's law, then that means that if there is a large influx of another single elemental magic energy that is too much for Leyson's law power to interfere with, then Leyson's advantage in this field as an earth-based artificial magician will also be weakened with the influx of another element that cannot be cleaned, and it may even be interfered by the other party.
Sekaria saw this very well, and at the first moment of the battle, she did not hesitate to spend her magic to release several large-scale water-based arcane spells one after another, so as to completely destroy the balance of the earth elemental environment originally dominated by Leyson.
And to be honest, this approach is really difficult for Leyson. Water magic, like earth magic, has the ability to change the environment and use it. Leyson can collect a large amount of earth elements from around the ground, and Sekaria can also gather the water elements in the surrounding air and create a local rainstorm that falls from the sky, even if the rainstorm environment created by Sekaria does not rely on the power of the law, so it can't really offset the influence of Leyson's earth elemental domain law, but it does greatly weaken this advantage.
But having said that, this is not to say that Sekaria's approach is also quite beneficial to herself, if it is in a normal environment, such a rainstorm environment is of course beneficial and harmless to her as a water magician, but the problem is that there are a large number of earth elements in the battlefield now because of Leyson's ability, and the huge amount of water elements that fell from the sky and the original rich earth elements in Leyson's earth element field were mixed together, and these two magical energy elements that were also good at creating and blending into the background environment eventually became inseparable in this battlefield。 The result, neither for Leysin nor for Sekaria, was not good news.
Almost half of Leyson's earth magic has turned into "soft mud" magic and lost its original solid properties, and in order to restore these "soft mud" to its original solidity, Leyson has to spend more magic than normal to cast the water element as impurities at the same time, and Sekaria's water magic has almost become "mud" magic, the original changeable and flexible water magic, because of the mixture of a large amount of earth elements and began to appear stiff, making Sekaria cast spells much more difficult.
If you want to ensure the quality of your casting, you must at least eliminate the excess water or earth elements that have infiltrated your surroundings due to the opponent's abilities or magic, and because of this, the battle between Leyson and Sekaria has set the tone from the beginning. Compared with the head-on magic duel, the two of them were more in the life-and-death competition over the distribution of their magic energy elements on the battlefield, and as for the magic battle, they were not invested too much attention by the two.
As a result, the scene of the Elemental Puppet War in the Rainstorm now looks spectacular, but in fact it is not a magic to make a fuss about for a mage of their level. It's not so much about using these puppets to attack opponents, it's just about using these puppets to harass and counter-harassment on the auxiliary level.
