Chapter 48: A New Power (2)
Glancing at the dark scene around the room, Eren used his intuition to catch Soth's movements, to be honest, he was not actually a magician, but a knight who was proficient in strengthening arts, and received the teaching of the legendary knight Algie Eden, his intuition was sometimes even more effective than a magician's mental force field. [Full text reading]
But unfortunately, even so, Eren still didn't catch any of the breath of Soth, and even his subconscious told him that there was no one here......
Is this the result of practice?
Source power mastery?
In fact, it was not only him, but the others did not show Soth, until the Great Elder used his magic to light the lampstands on the walls around the room, and everyone was stunned, in fact, Soth was standing only about ten yards away from them at most.
Staring at Soth standing in the center of the room with wide eyes, Abel muttered with a little surprise and surprise, "Completely cut off the spiritual force field, this is the effect of the source force?"
"Hehe," the Great Elder said with a smile as he stroked his white beard that hung down to Xiong's mouth, "This is just the basics!" As he spoke, he glanced at Alan and said with a smile, "Ellen, you want to be careful!"
"Xiao Xin?" Alan smiled conceitedly, looked at Soth who was standing in the room with his eyes closed, and said angrily, "Hey, don't be too complacent, hún egg!" As he spoke, he turned to his wife Lisa and said, "Lisa, go to my room and get my knight's sword!"
"Oooh......" Lisa nodded stunned, and then said in surprise as if she remembered something, "You said yes, the sword Uncle Eden gave you, do you have to have that sword?"
What Lisa is talking about is the magic sword that Alan used when he was at the Reox Academy, that is, the sword of the legendary knight Algie Eden, the blade is attached to the wind, fire, earth, and ice four series of enchantment runes, which can add magic damage while striking the body, and it is the legendary sword named after this legendary knight, [Great Knight's Sword].
At that time, it was Alan himself who smuggled it to Reox, and since he took over the Knights of the Freedom Wind, Algie Eden, who was severely injured in his right hand, officially passed on his sword to Alan and became Allen's sword, but in normal times, Alan does not use it too much, because he thinks that defeating his opponent with this powerful magic sword cannot be regarded as his own glory, so Lisa has doubts.
"Of course," smiling at Soth, who had closed his eyes and a calm expression, Alan turned to look at Lisa and said with a grin, "That guy is no ordinary opponent, go ahead, Lisa, and see how I teach him a lesson!"
"Hee-hee!" Lisa staggered out.
And taking advantage of this time, everyone kept looking at Soth in front of them, and what made them feel strange was that Soth's momentum could not be said to be very strong, on the contrary, like Ulrike and Connell, their momentum was much stronger than Soss, but looking at the pleased and satisfied smile of the Great Elder, it was obviously not the case.
Just when everyone was surprised, Lavia, who looked at Soth deeply, whispered, "It's very similar...... Now Soth, and Beria ......"
Connell subconsciously glanced at Lavia, and then glanced at Soth, as Lavia said, the current Soth is very similar to Beria in Sassen at the time, of course, it does not refer to the appearance of the two of them, but refers to the courage, Beria's courage, because he is too powerful, he will not be afraid of anything at all, even if he is a strong man in today's world, in his eyes, it seems to be just an ant, as if condescending, The god who looked down on all beings, and the current Soth, although he was not at the level of Belial, but from his eyes, Lavia still saw a strong sense of confidence.
You must know that the opponent is Allen, after Prince Theo ascended the throne, he has been honored to become a figure of a great knight, with a talented strong body, coupled with the blessing of strengthening techniques, this great knight can simply be said to be a magician's nightmare, especially when Alan unfolds [Domain: Battle Horn], his body can be immune to magic below level five, in other words, even if it is a flame flash, it can hardly hurt this rough-skinned guy, unless it is Professor Hodd's improved flame flash, double power.
It can be said that this big knight is perfect in other aspects except for a little frivolous in the life style of the sī people, from the very beginning he asked Lisa to get the big knight, which is enough to prove that he is serious, and now he is not a crappy knight who will lose as long as he is ten yards away by Sos Bī, Allen, who is fully open, can be comparable to the queen puppet Quin in terms of degree, and even surpasses the castle puppet Kanso in terms of wrist strength, as far as human beings are concerned, he is indeed a complete monster.
And this, Lavia knew very well, seeing that Soth still had her eyes closed and looked confident, the female lord who had received a formal aristocratic education from Xiao frowned slightly, and said reproachfully, "Hún egg, don't be careless!"
"That's it," Lavia's words were answered, and Alan saw that Soth's eyes had been closed, and because of his self-esteem, he was faintly dissatisfied in his heart, and said with a smile, "I hate guys who are even more arrogant than me, hún egg!"
As soon as the words fell, the laughter of the Great Elder came.
"That's not the case," the Great Elder explained with a smile as he looked at the puzzled crowd, "Soth doesn't open his eyes, not because Xiao is looking at you, Allen, but because his eyes can't take in the light for the time being......"
As if thinking of something, Abel pouted in astonishment, "I can't accept the light for the time being, isn't it ......?"
"Yes," as if guessing what Abel was trying to say, the Grand Elder nodded and said with a smile, "For the past month, this room has remained as dark as you just saw, without any light...... Because the extra light may not make people completely calm their hearts, but the source power can only be realized after the mind is completely calm......" As he spoke, he glanced at Soth and said with a smile, "Almost, it should be okay, try to open your eyes and see!"
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Sos slowly opened his eyes, and he could see that the Great Elder's words were not false in the slightest, even if it was the faint light from the lampstands on the surrounding walls, Sos still took more than ten seconds to completely open his eyes.
"Yo!" said Soth with a smile.
However, his greeting seemed to have the opposite effect, only to see Alan standing opposite him with wide eyes, stunned at the sunny smile on Soth's face, and exclaimed in horror, "Hey, don't scare me, man, I've known you for so many years, and I've never seen you smile......"
"Didn't you?" Soth's eyes flashed with surprise, and he muttered, "There should be?"
"No, absolutely not!" Alan shook his head again and again, and couldn't help but walk forward and look at Soth, and moused his head, and said in surprise, "Are you alright, man?"
Not only Alan was surprised, but even Lavia, Ulrique, Connell and others had stunned expressions on their faces, with the exception of Nina and Dia, Nina because she was not familiar with her brother's xìng grid in the past few years, and Dia, because she had seen Soth's smile when there were no outsiders.
So, it's not nothing, it's just very little, very little.
What was even more surprising was that the dark aura in Soth's original body had disappeared without a trace, and in its place was the unique divine aura of the Holy Power, a breath as warm as the sun, which was completely different from the indifferent aura of Sloth.
Lavia, who had clearly noticed this, smiled knowingly.
"Seriously, I'm really a little unaccustomed to it......" Looking at South's sunny smile, Alan scratched his head, then smiled, put his arm around South's shoulders and said with a smile, "But, whether it was you before or now, you are my best friend......" He lowered his voice and said in a small voice, "By the way, remember to be merciful later, I really want to try the knife for you, don't even chop my whetstone......"
“......”
"Haha," looking at Soth's stunned expression, Alan laughed, patted Soth's shoulder and said a little arrogantly, "I'm kidding you, don't take it seriously, just use any move later......"
As he was talking, there was a rush of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and then, Lisa held a heavy sword with a golden scabbard and said breathlessly, "Alan, Alan!"
"Hey!" Alan screamed, walked to the door and took the heavy sword in Lisa's hand, chou took out the blade, casually threw the scabbard aside, the smile on his face gradually retracted, he held the sword of the Great Knight, and he was like two people just now.
"Can Soth win?" looked at Alan and Soth who were standing in the field, Dia held her hands in front of Xiong and muttered worriedly.
Her tone made Lavia, who had already faintly regarded Soth as her pride, a little dissatisfied, her brows furrowed, and she was about to speak, but she heard Nina say confidently on the side, "My brother, you won't lose!"
As soon as the words fell, Lisa said with a grin, "That's not necessarily, Sister Nina!" As she spoke, she shouted at Alan, waved her Xiao fist, and said with a demonstrative look, "Alan, don't lose!
"Ahh Just follow the rules of a general duel," Standing aside on crutches, the Great Elder glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Try not to destroy the walls of Vander, there is no limit to the type of magic, and the attack magic must be below level four...... Forbidden to cast the field, Thus is forbidden to use the improved flame flash, the flame temperature is below cyan......"
"Huh?" After listening to the Great Elder's words for a long time, Ulrik said in surprise, "How do you feel that the Great Elder deliberately let Soth contain the power, is there such a big difference after mastering the source power? Allen's strength is not weak......"
Leaning against the wall with his arms folded, Connell glanced at the two men in the room with a smirk and muttered, "Look at it!"
"So...... Let's go!"
Seeing that the Great Elder retreated to the side on crutches, neither of them seemed to have the intention of attacking.
Taking a deep breath, Eren held the Great Knight's Sword in his right hand, and wiped his left hand on the blade, only to see a line of crimson symbols appear on the blade, and the sword immediately burned with flames.
Staring at Soth with serious eyes, Alan Tian tia and whispered, "Let's see, the so-called source power!"
"Ahh
"So...... Xiao's heart, man!" As soon as the words fell, Allen's body flashed with a trace of green and red light, accompanied by the crackling sound of muscle growth, both hands clenched the heavy sword, and slashed forward, only to hear the sound of the bear, the burning blade actually split a full four or five yards range of fire 1ang slash, hitting Soth at an extremely fast degree, and in the process of flying, this flame slash still continued to expand the range, only to hear a bang, accompanied by a burst of flames, the place where Soth was standing, was surrounded by flames in an instant, like a sea of fire。
Magic sword, how can it do this?
"...... Soth" Lavia, Nina, and Dia couldn't help but let out a slight exclamation, and even Katerina, a girl from Thessalonia, gave a frightened look, obviously worried about Soss.
However, it was surprising that Soth was standing in the middle of the fire, and the flames did not seem to have burned him at all.
No, that's not right......
Lavia's eyes lit up, and she clearly noticed that there was a strange flutter in Soth's body, especially the double tuǐ part of the lower body, which was almost completely submerged in the flames, and what was even more concerning was that the flame slash that Eren slashed out clearly passed through Soth's body before hitting the wall behind him.
"Elementalization?!" Ulrik said with a look of horror.
You must know that although Vander's black mages regard [elementalization] and [elemental materialization] as the hallmarks of the more ordinary great magicians, the difficulty of the two is different.
[Elemental materialization] refers to the condensation of a certain element in the atmosphere into a physical form, just like the apostles are used to condensing the dark power into a weapon, and this weapon condensed by the elements has a hardness comparable to steel, of course, in fact, the solidity of this elemental sword depends entirely on the strength of the individual's will and spirit, if the individual's will is weakened, then it is better to condense this elemental sword, it is better to find a wooden stick in hand.
The difficulty of [elementalization] is even higher than the former, to be precise, the full name should be body elementalization, which is what the dark mages originally envisioned, but except for the apostles, humans can hardly do this, and throughout the history of magic, only Hodd Kendi successfully used the incomplete elementalization state during the battle of Argus.
"He did it......" The scene just now, Abel also saw it clearly, her eyes couldn't help but show a little sadness, she covered her mouth and sobbed silently, suddenly, she felt someone gently pat her shoulder, turned her head to look, but it was the Great Elder looking at her with a loving face.
As if seeing through the heart of the Great Elder, Abel chuckled and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Soth, stroked the two rings on his left hand, and muttered, "See, Hodd, your student has already surpassed you, even if he doesn't use the forbidden method, he has reached the point of elementalization......"
"Ah," the Great Elder nodded and looked at Abel lovingly, as if he were looking at his own granddaughter, and whispered comfortingly, "Without Hodd's Enlightenment, the child of Thus might not have achieved such an achievement, so ......"
"Hmm!" Abel nodded slightly, asking curiously, "Is this also achieved after mastering the source power?"
"That's not it," the Great Elder bit his head with a smile and explained to Abel and Ulrik and the others who were looking here, "To achieve elementalization, magic power and spiritual power are not the key, the key lies in soul power, only a strong soul can ensure that one's body will not collapse due to elementalization...... The child was once an apostle, and he was also an apostle of Sloth, and you also know that [Escape Power] Sloth dominates [Oblivion], except for the apostle, all creatures in this world can be wiped out in an instant, and as the apostle of Sloth, Soth usually needs to be vigilant to curb this negative power, and over time, his soul power is much stronger than ordinary people......"
"Then he's a [General Great Mage] now?"
"Well, almost," the Great Elder nodded, and said softly, "Now he is much weaker than he was in his heyday, after all, he has lost the power of Sloth, but he still has the existence of holy power, and he can barely reach the [More Ordinary Great Mage], hmm...... The more ordinary the Great Magician is too hard to remember, why doesn't Wellman redefine this title?"
"Yes," Abel smiled slightly, then seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Actually, this level means that the elements can have better communication, and the elements can be freely converted from the physical and the imaginary, so it is better to be called a magus!"
"Magister......" The Great Elder was stunned for a moment, then read a few words, nodded and said, "That's pretty much what it means...... Hold's mentor, Barrett, and your grandfather and Weston, have lost count of how many people have tried to break the shackles that bind the Dark Mage's head, but no one has been able to do so...... It's a pity that the kid is limited by talent, talent, and he can't really do it...... However, without Xiao Huode's exploration, I wouldn't dare to casually let the child try elementalization......"
"Is it for Beria?" Abel asked hesitantly.
"Well," the Great Elder nodded, frowned, and said, "Once the child of Soth has mastered the source power, Beria will definitely not treat it as a joke in the past, and once the other party gets serious, the odds of the child of Soth winning are very small, very small...... In the face of an opponent like Beria who has mastered the source power for a long time, just using flashes is too passive, at least, you have to learn an ability to protect yourself!"
"What are you talking about......" Thinking that Beria had almost single-handedly suppressed all of Fandel's magicians, Abel couldn't help but sigh slightly, and refocused his gaze on the battle between Soth and Allen.
And at this time, Allen also seemed to realize that the flames generated by the magic sword were not enough to hurt Soth, who had mastered the elementalization, although the damage of the flames was high, but if it could not cause damage to Soth, on the contrary, it would increase the magic power of Soth, so it was undoubtedly quite stupid to continue to attack with flames.
Thinking of this, Alan Chou took a few steps back, and in Lisa's cheering, his left hand once again wiped the blade, only to see a line of light blue runes appear on the blade, and then, layers of frost formed between the entire big knight, and the scorching air around it was also lowered in an instant.
Another slash.
And this time, Soth couldn't avoid it in the slightest as he did just now, and as soon as his figure disappeared in place, the sea of fire was suddenly frozen by the frost aura carried by the slash, forming a large block of ice, and then crumbling and scattering to the ground.
"Changed your move?" said Soth, who had reappeared, smiling at Alan.
"Ah," Alan said with a grin as he swung his slash without stopping, "I'm not that stupid since I know I can't hurt you...... Xiao Xin, man, even if it's elementalized, it can still freeze you!"
Soth smiled slightly, in fact, the reason why he avoided it just now was that he felt the enchantment power of this great knight's sword, even if he transformed his body into a fire element, he would still be frozen by this frost power.
"What's the matter, man, what's the matter with just dodging?"
In the eyes of everyone, Soth seemed to be very embarrassed to dodge Allen's attack, but looking at it, the eyes of Ulrike and Connell and others couldn't help but become a little strange.
All dodged......
The other party is Allen, who has the same degree as his queen puppet Quinn, and in the face of his long-range and close-range attacks, Soth completely dodged ......
However, in Lavia's eyes, Soth dodged Allen's attacks almost always with subtle movements such as turning sideways and turning his head, and on a few occasions, those slashes clearly grazed his body, was it because he didn't have enough time to dodge?
No, that's not right......
Lavia noticed Soth's eyes, which were still as calm as they had been before, that is......
"How come?" "How could it be?" Ulrik muttered as he stared wide-eyed at Soth, who was dodging Eren's attacks, "Allen's attacks didn't work at all, I had a strange feeling, as if Soth could have known about Allen's movements in advance, you see, again...... This feeling is exactly the same as the battle we had with Belia a month ago, when all our attacks could not cause any damage to Beria......"
Frowning and looking at the field Soth dodged Allen's attack a few times without looking at it, Connell's face showed a solemn expression, and he said in a deep voice, "At that time, because Beria's guy was too strong, I didn't pay much attention to it, and Soth, who lost the power of Slos at that time, should be relatively close to Allen's strength, and the magician was originally at a disadvantage for a knight like Allen, but I didn't expect it...... If this is the strength of the source force after mastering, then ...... Our battle at that time, in Beria's opinion, was really just a game...... Damn, is there such a big gap?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard the Great Elder whisper on the side, "Perceiving the opponent and predicting the opponent's next move, this is only the most basic ability for the source force to master, if you don't master this power, you are not qualified to stand in front of the child in Belial, and the next ......" As he spoke, the Great Elder paused his cane and shouted loudly, "Soth, it's almost time to try to attack......"
"Oh!" stopped as Southton was dodging, and Alan was standing not far in front of him.
"Xiao's heart, Alan!"
"......" Looking at Soth's serious eyes, Alan couldn't help but clench the sword of the Great Knight in his hand, and he had an inexplicable premonition.
If you are distracted at this time, you will die......
