Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dulong vs. Aven
Sifner's "stand-in rune" was tampered with.
This talisman was actually applied to the tenth rank of identification camouflage magic, such a professional technique, I am afraid that in the entire Alpha Continent, only the Grand Magus of the Star Spire Council can do it.
And the mastermind behind the whole incident is not difficult to guess.
There are only two people who have such power and may attack the goddess in the Demon Guide Country.
For the time being, Lin Xiao didn't want to settle the crimes of the crown prince Ignath and the potions warlock Camilla right now.
He's still waiting to see a good show.
"I'm afraid the first battle will draw you."
Lin Xiao looked at the dazed and ignorant goddess Sifna and frowned.
Since the two of them can use their hands and feet on the "stand-in rune", they must also try to control the dueling list for each trial.
If they don't try to get Sifner to engage in a "wheel war", then I'm really sorry for the amount of effort they put into the "double rune".
However, the first duel selected by the Grand Magister as the referee on the rostrum surprised Lin Xiao.
Among the two people who participated in the first duel, there was no goddess Sifna.
"The first battle, Evan vs. Du Long!"
"On one side is an astrologer from the Duchy of Colin, and on the other side is a dark mage from the Fenglan Empire!"
"Two promotionees are invited!"
With bursts of cheers and applause, the two lucky ones who had become Magisters in this promotion ceremony walked to each end of the arena.
It couldn't be more appropriate to say that they are "lucky ones".
Ai Wen is only a level 56 astrologer, although such a level is not low in the Alpha Continent, but it can only be ranked at the upper middle level among many strong people.
To win the five-year promotion ceremony with such strength, the difficulty can be imagined.
Not to mention the contestants who died in hatred in the second trial, all of them were higher than Aven.
Even many of the promotions who were eliminated in the first trial, and even many magicians who gave up participating in the "competition" link, were stronger than this astrologer with blue curly hair and thick bottle-bottom glasses.
In the eyes of many people, he was able to become a "magic master", purely because of great luck.
And Du Long is not to mention, he was originally ranked at the bottom of the first two trials, and he was not qualified for the title of Magister.
However, because Lux was punished for violating the rules of the trials, and Newint was removed because his identity as the "Demon Enterer" was revealed, he accidentally won the title of "Magister" by virtue of the substitute principle.
His luck was no less than that of Aven, who was standing across from him at this time.
"Brother, let's make it clear first, since this duel will not hurt my life, then I won't spare my hand."
With a spring breeze on his face, Du Long took out a short black staff from his arms.
This is the "Initial Artifact" that he obtained from the main god Augustine as a warrior from the other world.
"This staff is called 'Nasfar's Fall', and it converts twice the damage I deal to enemies into a life boost."
As soon as Du Long's words came out, all the audience present exclaimed.
"Damn, this thing can actually convert twice the damage it deals into its own life force?"
"A weapon with a 'vampirish' entry is rubbish compared to this thing, right?"
"Nima, it deserves to be the initial artifact, this is too against the sky!"
It's no wonder the audience was shocked.
Some high-end crafting equipment has a similar "vampirish" entry.
However, the best quality "Vampire" entry can only absorb 10% of the damage of the life force, and it is indeed completely incomparable to the "Nasfar's Death", which can absorb 200% of the damage.
"Brother, don't think I'm hanging up later."
Du Long looked around at the audience who cast envious eyes on him on the sidelines and smiled slightly.
In the second trial, he hid in a cave with Evan for nearly two days.
As far as Du Long himself thinks, there is still some friendship between the two.
His level has reached level 70.
Compared to Aiwen, who is only level 56, his hard power is already much stronger.
If you still hide your initial artifact in a duel, it is simply too bullying.
Although Du Long is a brave man from another world, after joining the Royal Knights of the Fenglan Empire, he can be regarded as following the local customs and has some chivalry spirit.
"Thank you for telling me."
Ai Wen closed the book in his hand and took out a light blue staff from the spatial ring.
"In that case, let's get started."
"Don't delay too long, my reading plan for today is not yet complete."
Hearing what Evan said, Du Long couldn't help frowning slightly.
He had always felt that there was an unpredictable calmness in this astrologer.
"The duel begins!"
The two stood opposite each other and bowed gracefully to the dueling salute of the Alpha World.
"Stun curse!"
After the salute was completed, a red light also instantly emitted from the tip of Du Long's staff, shooting towards the astrologer who was about fifty meters away from him.
Black magic, unlike the regular twenty-rank magic, has its own unique hierarchy system.
The level at which the Dark Mage casts all spells is tied to the caster's own level.
If Du Long's level reaches level 70, all the magic he releases will automatically gain the corresponding power of the "Seventh Rank Magic".
The "Stun Curse" is a curse spell that combines damage and control at the same time.
Once hit by the 7th rank "Stun Curse", it takes 500 "No Attribute" damage and adds a stun effect that lasts for 30 seconds.
Dark magic is extremely difficult to defend against, and generally has a strong magical resistance to penetration.
As a result, among the many spell-casting professions, the Dark Mage has always been known as the "Mage Killer".
"Hmph, it's over."
Du Long is very confident in his spells.
As the so-called master makes a move, he knows if there is one.
At the moment when he cast the "Unconscious Curse", Du Long had a feeling that he had already succeeded.
However, he was surprised to find that his magic had failed.
"Why is that?"
As if he already knew the magic that Du Long was about to cast, Ewen rolled to the side in advance, and was able to avoid the red ray that was enough to end the duel.
"It can't be fate magic, right?"
Everyone in the audience also started talking.
The "magic of fate", which can predict the future and even influence fate, has always been the most mysterious and difficult to learn among the many magic systems.
According to legend, in order to learn the magic of fate, one must have a considerable understanding of the "laws of the system" and the "laws of cause and effect".
Of course, this is just a myth.
The so-called "law of cause and effect" is just a delusion in the novels written by the archmage Hananos.
The conditions for the real acquisition of the magic of fate are actually very simple.
That's enough good luck.
As long as they are chosen by the "laws of the system", it is possible for anyone to learn the unfathomable "magic of fate".
"Whew, I want to put on a show more, but I can't leave the show so soon."
Evan patted the dust on his robe and smiled.
With that, he pointed his staff forward.
"Fifth-order light and dark dual system fusion magic, 'halo blinding'!"
First there was a thick darkness, then a blinding flash.
Du Long's eyes were temporarily blind under the effect of this alternating light and dark "blinding technique".
"Damn it!"
Du Long, who couldn't see, was a little panicked in an instant.
Invisible to the Dark Mage, who is unable to learn reconnaissance magic, is completely unable to determine where and how the enemy will attack.
This is undoubtedly fatal in a duel.
"Crowd Knock Curse!"
Duron instinctively used a self-centered range-controlled black magic.
According to his idea, without seeing where Evan is, only by using a wide range of control techniques can he hinder the enemy's attack before the blinding effect ends.
However, the exclamations from the audience made Du Long a little stunned.
"What the hell is going on?"
After about half a minute, when the blinding effect was lifted, Du Long was surprised to find that he had actually won the duel.
"Nima, brother, are you here to be funny?"
Looking at Ai Wen, who was lying on the edge of the arena and had lost consciousness, Du Long couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
The "Crowd Knock Curse" he had just cast actually knocked the astrologer to the wall and knocked him unconscious.
The first duel ended hastily.
Naturally, the audience was very dissatisfied and booed.
