The first to appear is Shado's acquaintance, the Arcanist Stuart from the Tower of Morion, who not only participates in the [Arcane Mystery], but even participates in the [Spell Duel].

When he trained Stuart and them in chess, Xia Duo learned that seven of the ten arcanists from the Seven Towers had also participated in the [Spell Duel].

Not all arcanists are willing to participate in arcane competitions, although there are rewards for losing, but the pressure is also very high, and there is a very important reason, that is-

When you are playing, you should show your battle strategy and spell details in front of others.

This is unacceptable to many people, after all, no one knows if there will be enemies who will use these against themselves, and only a caster with someone behind him would dare to be so bold.

As far as Xia Duo knows, the ten Arcanists who participated in the [Spell Duel] were all from the Seven Towers, and even in indirect battles like the [Arcane Maze], there were only three non-Seven Tower Arcanists.

The Seven Towers Arcanists weren't necessarily stronger than the Arcanists elsewhere, with only three non-Seven Tower Arcanists, was it just because the Snow Melting Contest had just opened for non-Seven Tower Arcanists this year?

Conservatism is everywhere and, of course, danger is everywhere.

Shado quietly watched as Stuart picked a Yerlan elf, and then both sides walked up to the battle table in the center of the arena at the same time, and a magical scene happened-

When they fully stepped on the stage, it was as if they had entered another world, and the whole body began to gradually become smaller, giving the impression that they were getting smaller, but at the same time, the relevant details were not lost in the slightest.

You can still see their full picture, even more clearly than when they were fighting outside the stage before.

At this moment, the host El Carmon took the initiative to explain:

"On the battle platform is a small half-plane overlapping the main plane, and the actual distance between the two opponents is more than two hundred meters! However, in order to make it easier for us to see, the Grand Arcanist has made some small adjustments to this small half-plane. ”

Stuart had already been informed about the situation in the Half-Plane when he stepped onto the stage, and his opponent, an elven mage, had also received the information before today.

There is no need to hide it, and there is no need to hide it, and Steat is confident of winning the other side.

Hearing a "ready" from Elcamun and a strange flicker in the half-plane, Stuart knew the game had begun.

He unhurriedly applied all kinds of protective spells to himself, whether it was a real protection spell to resist the absorption of damage, or a recharge spell used to counteract the [Removal of Magic].

After that, he blessed himself with spells such as anti-interference, anti-detection, and enhanced perception, and when everything was ready, he raised his hand and made a gesture.

Although the half-plane he is in now overlaps with the main plane, he can see the inside from the outside, but he can't see the outside from the inside, and the preparation time is limited, but as long as both sides are ready, he can officially start.

Outside, inside the arena.

Stuart raised his hand to signal everyone to look at it, and not only their physical movements, but all the spells in the preparatory stage were displayed in front of everyone one by one.

Perhaps the half-plane on the battle table has been specially set up, and even if he is far away, Xia Duo can still see all the details of the opponent's spells from the audience.

Of course, at most, you can only go to the fifth layer of the magic web, and the deeper details will not be visible.

But even so, Xia Duo has gained a lot, at least knowing what the other arcanists are in when they cast spells; What are the rules for the dismantling of the elemental units of a spell; and some strange spells that you may or may not understand.

However, the form of the half-position battle space still made Xia Duo a little uncomfortable, although he could see all the details, but at the same time, he did see that their deformation was smaller.

This sense of contradiction in the perception of spatial information is simply dizzying.

Soon, with El Carmon's "start", the game officially began, and Xia Duo no longer focused on the superficial sense of difference, but went deep into the essence of the spell -

The magic net is changing!

Whether it was the reconstruction of the magic net in the arena or the special setting of the half-plane, Xia Duo greedily absorbed the experience of the two spellcasters who were fighting against him.

In addition to experience and knowledge, the concept of battle also makes Xia Duo feel very happy!

Similar to Xado's philosophy, both opponents have the main goal of disarming the opponent's protective spells and restricting the opponent's movements, both offensively and defensively.

As for the spells that deal direct damage, they have never been seen.

Xia Duo always believes that the essence of the caster's battle is not one damage spell at a time, as long as the opponent's protective spell is removed and the opponent's mobility is restricted, even a very ordinary dagger is enough to cause very serious fatal damage.

Unless you have a natural Adamantite body, you can just give a gentle push on the most vulnerable part, as any creature has a weakness.

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown called "attacking the unprepared", in fact, it is to specifically attack the enemy's weakness, knowing that the opponent is full of shields, and attacking with all his might, this is not what Han is.

Isn't it easier to break the armor first and attack it?

In Xia Duo's eyes, a large ornate fireball was far less practical than a seemingly inconspicuous spell to disarm or restrict.

……

Half-position face battle space.

Stuart looked at the other party's vague and erratic shadow, the restriction spell was really difficult to lock, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, the most known mage was Mage Yerlan, and the snowmelt competition had never been interrupted for hundreds of years.

Stuart has long studied the fighting style of Mage Yerlan, and even participated in a snowmelt competition in his early years, and he was fully prepared before this competition, but the previous experience is still far from his expectations.

"You can't lose the first game!" The thought crossed Stuart's mind.

But in the high-intensity spell confrontation, the result of a slight distraction was that he failed to counter the opponent's restriction spell, and his form suddenly became a little heavy, and when he looked at the other party again, the shadow was even more erratic, and there were even faint signs of disappearing.

This is not a good sign, Stuart knows that it is not good, but he can't get rid of it for a while, this is due to the change in the environment of the surrounding magic net, and it does not directly affect him.

Now that the disadvantage has been revealed, there is only one choice if you want to fight back-

Unfold part of the magic net strings of the arcane fire roots, replace the surrounding magic nets, and form a more beneficial realm for themselves, if it is a real battle, Stuart will certainly not use this method.

Because the arcane fire unfolds, although it is beneficial to himself, it means that the enemy can also attack the arcane fire, maybe it is only the loss of part of the magic net string, but in serious cases, it will even hurt the root of the arcane fire.

But now in this first matchup, how can Steat lose, in order to win, he is willing to pay a certain price for it.
