Chapter 197: Riots

Even if you were mentally prepared not long ago, you are still much more nervous when you are actually in the middle of the battlefield than when you are providing information to the True Eye. ``

Jon took a deep breath and tightened his staff a little nervously, using his magic to drive the Rubik's cube engraved on it. The surging heat focused on the tip of the wooden staff, and then condensed into crystalline arrows that shot at a chimeric beast that lunged at him.

It's still a long way from the Tower of Silver, but everywhere it can be seen is filled with members of the True Eye and strange monsters.

"Why did you choose such a frontal attack?"

Jon couldn't stop gasping, the consumption of mana had already made his body unbearable. The wooden staff had been handed over to the Eye of Truth at the beginning of the battle, and although it had no obvious shortcomings in strength, it was a bit inefficient at using magical power.

The reason for this situation is naturally attributable to Lizzie's behavior...... Even if her strength is far from ordinary, it is too unconscionable to do such an act. If it weren't for the fact that she drove the huge shadow mass under her to rush directly behind the True Sight, leaving behind a greeting that seemed like a declaration of war, there would have been no such backlash.

Even if the situation in front of him was unexpected, it was impossible for the True Eye to surrender just because of such a surprise attack. They had already thought about dealing with the Academy's reinforcements, so after the initial confusion was relieved, they began to send a group of mages to lead the chimeras to attack the trio.

And what awaits these attackers is naturally a crazy attack from the darkness. It's like to prove that what you say is true. Lizzie manipulated the monster beneath her to mercilessly meet the attacking True Eye, and the shadow of the movement was like a raging wave, sweeping away everything that stood in its way...... After the initial attack was easily swept away by the monster's tentacles. The True Eye had no choice but to disperse its forces and contain it from all angles.

The chimera slowly approached, and the thoughtless monsters split into loose queues and approached the shadow, about a story high. The sorcerers who controlled them were scattered all over the place, constantly projecting destructive spells at the three people standing on the shadow.

The tactic of concentrating forces to meet them head-on could hardly hinder the shadows' advance, but the method of scattering and harassing them caused a lot of trouble for the trio. Even if Lizzie manipulated the shadows to condense into tentacles to attack the chimeras, there would always be a few monsters that managed to break through the defenses and approach them.

- Then cut into pieces of meat by Curt's swift blow.

"It's said that it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, in fact, you can also watch it from the wall. Curt yawned as he slashed the winged monster in two. "There's no need to waste your magic on this kind of thing, just watch a qiē unfold. ”

Violence is a means of solving most of the problems that arise at hand. Although it can also create other troubles when it comes to solving problems. However, as long as the force is strong enough, then violence can suppress the other associated matters while solving the target.

Sighing, Jon once again picked up the wooden staff combat spell: "I don't want to do this either...... But now that I've been caught up in it, I have no choice but to take up arms and resist. After all, you can't protect me all the time. Until these madmen were completely ruined. ”

Perhaps this is due to the way of thinking that he is a "powerless" person. Jon Fried hates violence. Perhaps...... Not only him, but many of his peers at the academy were quite repulsive to this radical approach to problem-solving.

This is a time when ordinary people are gradually beginning to lose touch with violence, but now, he knows that he must use violence in order to resist it.

"Huhu, since you think so, then whatever you want. ”

Smiling maliciously, Curt slashed at Jon, seemingly nonchalantly, just a half-foot in front of him. The flash of the knife flashed in front of his eyes. Jon subconsciously jumped back half a step. Just as he was about to question Curt's actions, the air in front of him suddenly shattered. A small, translucent monster was cut in front of it with a deep bony wound from the tip of a knife, and it was falling from the shadow monster with a sharp scream.

Curt glanced at Jon, who was stunned, and said jokingly, "But until you can become an effective combat force, I would like to ask you to protect yourself." You are the future of this region, and perhaps even the future of this country, and I don't want to see you die before you have grown enough. ”

Like Oscar, although they have the desire to make themselves stronger, and some of the corresponding skills, they are far from being able to put into actual combat. Not only do they need to gain combat experience, but they and many of their apprentices need to change their mindset about fighting.

Specialized armies have long since replaced conscription, and the last major war took place just over a decade ago...... The act of fighting is too distant a term for these people living in unaffected Dominions.

Even when facing an opponent who had to fight to the death, it was useless for someone to suddenly throw them a weapon that could kill the enemy with ease. Whether or not they can fight is one thing, but when it comes to making up their minds to actually take the other person's life, they will be confused.

Confusion is contagious, and it is precisely because of the weapons in their hands that most of them cannot help but hesitate when they do it. It is wrong to hurt others for no reason - such educational ideas have been mixed with common sense, and it is these things that bind their behavior.

This is true even for a large number of sorcerers who once served in the military - the academy doesn't even teach spells outside of the self-defense level. The younger apprentices in the cadets had little exposure to the art of combat, and spells seemed to have become a useful tool in their hands rather than a murder weapon to harm others.

If they were replaced by the boy in the slums, he would definitely attack the Eye of True Sight at the risk of his own safety. The vindictive spirit that pervades his heart also affects his mentality.

"Scissors can be used to cut cloth, but they can also be used to pierce the eye sockets of others in front of them. Lizzie seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the way the academy was taught, so she once commented, "Spells are tools, and how to use them depends on the person holding them." ”

The law binds those who follow the "rules," and even if they have a weapon in their hands, they will not necessarily harm others. And if they are stripped of the right to use weapons, they will not even be able to protect themselves, and those who do not follow the rules can use weapons to harm them with impunity.

The situation is already in sight, and there are a large number of mages in the great academy, but they are powerless in the face of the sudden attack of the Eye of Truth, and can only seek the protection of the elders with the help of guards who have learned their combat skills.

This was not possible in the past, and in a time when sorcerers were fanged beasts, anyone who dared to invade their school would be met with a variety of spells. The current turmoil of this magnitude is only a small commotion.

Contrary to the Academy, which has been weakened by these "rules", the vast majority of the members of the True Eye are determined to put the enemy in front of them to death. Not only the group of mages at the core, but also the chess pieces that are caught in it will fight with a variety of weapons.

Compared to the apprentices who live in the sun, these marginalized groups who are absorbed into them are able to wield more powerful fighting power. As long as they are given weapons and given a certain amount of guidance in their thinking, these people will fight for the so-called "great righteousness".

Death is all too familiar to them, whether it is death from illness, starvation, accident or injury, it is a common phenomenon on the fringes of society. However, for the "ordinary people" living on the calm water, it seems that they are just born in a distant world, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

This is a difference in the living environment, and it also leads to different ideological divisions. Just like coyotes and domestic dogs, both seem to be the same creatures, but coyotes are far more bloodthirsty than domestic dogs that have a stable life, and they will not let go of their prey whenever they have the opportunity.

People who live on the margins survive by preying on the lives of those who are also on the margins, they survive the brutal competition for survival, and then continue to survive every day. While ordinary people breathe in the fresh air, what fills their nostrils is blood mist.

But even then, nothing more than that, the tool they rely on for their livelihood is only the habit of violence, and this does not change the fact that they hover at the bottom of society. Even if they try to justify chaos with violence, those who maintain order will use more forceful means to suppress it.

As Curt has always argued, if violence is always used as a means of action, then one must be prepared to be treated in the same way by more powerful violence. Blood, fire, weapons...... The history of the past and present is almost filled with the stories woven by these three.

As for what they think, that's another matter.

"Cold and quiet, the dark singing of circulation. Once again smashing through the obstacle blocking the road, Lizzie, who manipulated the darkness, glanced at the tall buildings in front of her, and began to recite the language of weaving spells, "Based on the vast void overflowing with magical power, the curtain of eternal silence descends and sinks to the depths of the water. ”

Suddenly, light and shadow collided violently.

A pitch-black tabernacle slowly descended directly in front of Lizzie, forming a black shadow like a curtain. A light bomb that had exploded stopped at the black curtain just right, and the darkness that had been circulating before the Rubik's Cube that had been unfolded was torn into several pieces before it was fully charged.

The magic of this feeling was undoubtedly that the mage who sniped Lizzie at the time used the same tactics to sneak attack again. It's a pity that this time, his long-range spell was read first. (To be continued!)
