Chapter 416: duel between wizards

"It's up to you next."

The pale-faced Horat reached out and wiped his cold sweaty forehead, walked to Thorne, and looked at him with a smile. Immediately after explaining, he sat cross-legged in an open space and grimaced as he dealt with the wounds left by Shadow Dancer's two poisoned daggers.

Although he has a relatively good poison resistance, it does not mean that the venom of the bipedal dragon has no effect on him. If he does not deal with it as soon as possible, he will also lose his life.

On the surface, it seemed that Horat defeated the Shadow Dancer, but it was actually more like a lose-lose battle, as both sides lost their combat effectiveness one after the other.

Thorne glanced at the Druid Deadwood Master who had already rushed towards Horat, and then retracted his gaze. As a Druid with a strength of Tier 3, it was very simple to deal with such toxins and wounds.

Moreover, Master Withered Wood is also a Druid specializing in medical treatment, and his knowledge level of herbal medicine is also very high.

The toxin called 'homesickness' of Holart was also successfully prepared with the assistance of the deadwood master.

If this toxin is applied to humanoids in the wilderness, the effect is also very significant. Except for trolls and hill giants, almost all other small and medium-sized humanoids can be killed directly.

The only disadvantage is that the production cost of venom is very high, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale. It is better to buy a few more bottles of fire glue to have this kind of cost.

Then Thorne turned his attention to the center of the field again.

The Black Pearl Forest was obviously prepared, but not all the high-level players in the Emerald Fields were present.

Among the Tier 3 professionals who came to the Norsil Plain this time, except for the Druid Deadwood Master and Barbarian Hao, none of them were present.

Master Withered Wood has his own set of principles for doing things, and he will not choose to participate in this kind of battle.

Although they all won the two battles, Thorne did not feel relieved because of the fearful aura he felt on the elven monk and the black-robed woman.

Especially when the two sides faced off before, the unfinished spell cast by the black-robed woman made him feel the strong breath from the bottomless abyss.

In other words, this black-robed woman is likely to have some connection with the Abyss Demon.

With the departure of Holart and Shadow Dancer one after another.

After a while, a human man covered in black robes emerged from the Black Pearl Forest camp.

This is a very ordinary looking young man. He had a thin face, an aquiline nose, and held a shoulder-level sycamore staff, the tip of which was inlaid with a gem that glowed rosy in the sun.

He stood casually in the sun, and he seemed a little lazy.

If you look closely, you can see that the young man wears a badge on his left shoulder that symbolizes his identity: nine nebula-like patterns surround a dark red tower that rises straight into the sky.

Wizarding League.

Thorne recognized at a glance that the other party was the wizarding alliance from the middle of the continent.

From the light scattered by his staff and the color of the upper tower of the badge, it can be seen that this wizard should be from the Destruction Tower faction of the Wizarding League.

As for the more detailed information of the Wizarding Union, he is not very clear.

Maybe people in Iron Horse Town will know better.

Obviously, Thorne was not the only one who had this idea. Others also turned their attention to the lord of Iron Horse Town, Helm, and the wizard Randall.

"Let me come and meet this old friend for a while." Wizard Randall tidied up the tall collar on his black coat, and a finely carved sapphire cane appeared on his right hand with a ring. At the same time, it emits flickering and flickering magic aura.

Then, without waiting for everyone to nod or object, they walked out without hesitation.

"The Wizarding League is a loose alliance composed of nine wizarding towers, each of which represents a specialized school of magic. The human wizard who appeared in the Black Pearl Forest belongs to the Tower of Wrath of Destruction. That is to say, he specializes in The school of magic is the energy system." The lord of Iron Horse Town explained to everyone before the battle started.

There are more than a dozen wizard players in Iron Horse Town who came to the Emerald Fields with wizard Randall, so he knows the situation of the Wizarding League better than others.

"That's not right. As we all know, wizards' spells can be divided into eight major schools. What school is the ninth wizard's tower specializing in?" Sarayan looked at the lord of Iron Horse Town in confusion and said his heart. doubts.

"I don't know this very well. It is said that the ninth tower involves the core secrets of the Wizarding League, and it has never appeared in the Wizarding League, so it is very mysterious." The lord of Iron Horse Town shrugged and smiled helplessly, expressing himself. Not very understanding.

"The ninth tower is called the 'City in the Clouds', which represents the power of the Arcanist." At this moment, another unfamiliar voice answered.

The group, except Thorne, turned to look at the source of the sound.

"This is the Arcanist from the Wizard Tower of Winter City, called Pardo." Thorne pointed at the little wizard and introduced to several people: "Now it belongs to our people in the town of waterfalls."

Hearing Thorne's introduction, Carlos glanced at him in surprise, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. The lord of Twilight Town looked very depressed, apparently because the genius arcanist was preempted by Thorne.

When Helm, the lord of Iron Horse Town, heard that the other party was an arcanist, his expression inexplicably flashed with joy.

"The Wizarding Alliance also has the inheritance from the Arcane Empire. The mysterious ninth tower belongs to the holy land of all wizards, because as long as you successfully join the Cloud City, it means that you have the potential of an advanced arcanist."

The little wizard Pardo was watched by so many people without any stage fright. He walked directly to Thorne and calmly explained to everyone:

"The wizard tower in Winter City records a lot of information about the wizarding alliance. I guess there must be some kind of subtle relationship between these two forces."

"So, is Cloud City a floating city?" Thorne asked.

"It should be." Pardo pondered for a while, and replied uncertainly.

"Lord Hulme, why did your wizard Randall from Iron Horse Town only stay in the Wizarding League for more than a year and then ran out." Seeing that Pardo was silent, Carlos asked again.

"The wizarding union in the middle of the continent is not as beautiful as it was imagined. The competition inside is very cruel. Some wizards with eccentric personalities don't take their students as human beings at all. Randall's luck is very bad. A tiefling wizard with a special hobby.

So in order not to die tragically in the magic experiment of his mentor, he joined a group of wizard apprentices who wanted to leave together, and spent a lot of money to rely on the teleportation circle to come here. "

After Hulme finished speaking, he secretly rejoiced: "If it weren't for the fact that Randall bought a lot of gold coins in advance, and wanted to bring so many people from the middle of the continent to the Emerald Wilderness, it would be almost impossible for the game to change. difficult to achieve.”

"So, Pardo is relatively lucky. He was able to successfully join the wizard tower in Winter City and took up the profession of arcanist." Carlos looked at the little wizard standing beside Thorne and said with a smile.

"Actually, when the game started, there were seven people including me who joined the Wizard Tower of Winter City with me. But in the very boring process of learning arcane knowledge, three people only endured half a month before reopening, Two people endured it for three months, the other for seven months, but unfortunately they gave up. I also succeeded in taking office half a year ago, the day Winter City was about to break down." Pardo said to the crowd with a calm expression narrated.

Then, after a few more casual chats, everyone turned their attention to the venue where the two wizards were dueling.

Thorne also looked at it expectantly. To be honest, he had never seen a duel between wizards and wizards, and he didn't know much about the way they fought with each other.

"Hello, Randall, it's been a long time." The black-robed wizard saw the wizard approaching, reached out and greeted with a smile, then lifted the hood on his head, revealing a messy long white hair .

"It's been a long time indeed, Corrant." The wizard Randall glanced at the black-robed wizard's white hair that did not reflect any light in the sun, and his tone was alienated: "I think you should now I regret that I didn't come to the Emerald Wilderness with me."

"There's nothing to regret. After all, the life of a wandering wizard is really hard. It's better for people like us from the bottom to find some sense of belonging. At least there is still hope." The black-robed wizard Colante stroked the scattered With white hair on his forehead, he pretended to be relaxed.

"Then let me see the spells you learned in the Tower of Wrath of Destruction." With the end of the words, the sapphire staff in the hands of the wizard Randall also showed a strong magic light.

"I'm happy to accompany you. I'm also very curious about how you can improve your strength after you left the Azure Light Tower without the follow-up spell knowledge." Colante smiled and his expression became serious.

- "One Level Spell: Arcane Missiles!"

The wizard Randall took the lead in attacking. His first-level spell was cast extremely fast, and the moment the sapphire staff in his hand pointed to the target, it was completed directly.

Five missiles composed of magical energy burst out from the top of the staff like bullets, and shot at the black-robed wizard Corrant not far away at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

- "One Level Spell: Shield!"

At the moment when Randall cast the spell, Corant quickly recognized the spell cast by the opponent, so he waved the sycamore staff, and an almost invisible saucer-shaped shield blocked him directly in front of him.

"Bang bang bang!"

As the force field disk the size of a tower shield in front of Collant spun wildly, the five galloping magic missiles all dissipated.

The wizard Randall was not surprised when he saw that his spell came back in vain. He did not delay the slightest time, and immediately prepared the next spell.

The magic showdown between wizards and wizards is also a battle against time.

Therefore, they are very taboo to use powerful spells that take too long to cast, which will only make themselves a living target, and usually decide the outcome by casting extremely fast low-level spells.

- "Spell Counter!"

Suddenly, the black-robed wizard seemed to sense something, looked at the magic fluctuations emerging from Randall's body, his expression changed, and he immediately displayed the anti-spell skills unique to the wizarding profession.

The so-called "counter-spell" means that both parties use the same spell, which cancels each other out and does not produce any effect.

With the successful counterattack of Krant's spell, the magic power fluctuations around the wizard Randall were smoothed out, and the magic energy condensed and snapped at the fingertips also dissipated.

At the same time, he, who failed to cast the spell, also stumbled back two steps with a pale face due to the backlash.

— "Three-ring spell: Lightning Bolt!"

Naturally, Colante would not miss this good opportunity. Taking advantage of the weak moment of the opponent, he took out a metal ball mixed with copper and iron, and chanted a powerful magic at the fastest speed, and returned the color.

"Crack!"

A deep purple lightning burst out from the rose-colored gem at the top of the Krante sycamore staff, and the powerful lightning bolt swept across the green grass, streaking a half-meter-wide charred path, pointing directly at the pale blue orchid. del.

Feeling the deafening sound and dazzling lightning, Randall sneered at the corner of his mouth.

- "Second-level spell: Shifting Shadows! (Spell Instant

Just as the lightning approached, he and the black-robed wizard's body simultaneously burst into a light blue strange aura.

"Oops! Hit the game!"

Colante's expression changed, and he immediately took out two small talismans flashing with magic aura, allowing the strange light blue aura to affect his body.

"Whizzing!"

At the moment when the two exchanged their positions, the deep purple electric arc directly hit Colante's body, and small arcs jumped around him, but they were successfully blocked by the energy barrier and could not cause any damage.

Seeing that his tactics had not been successful, a new spell material appeared in Randall's hand.

- "One spell: Stone Fist!"

As a pebble carved with a fist pattern of a specific shape disappeared from the palm of the wizard Randall, his left hand directly turned into a hard stone shape.

- "Three-ring spell: Dimensional Step!"

Immediately afterwards, Randall's body was covered with a layer of darkness that could not be penetrated by sunlight, and glowing runes appeared on the boots of his feet. As the runes burst into mysterious light, his body immediately appeared in the black. Behind the robe wizard Corrant.

- "Spell Level 1: Mage Armor!"

Krant, who knew that he could not avoid it, stood in place and calmly put a protective force field on himself.

— "Three-ring spell: Dispel magic!"

Randall, who appeared behind the target, moved his mind, and as the last few syllables of the incantation were quickly uttered by him, the left fist, which had already turned into stone, flashed a few times when it hit Colante's protective force field. Silver light, followed by a sound like a mechanical clockwork slackening.

- "Second-level Spell: Reverse Electric Vendetta! (Spell Instant

Hearing the whistling wind, the calm Colante remained unmoved, standing in place again and blessing himself with a spell at the fastest speed.

"boom!"

The hard fist hit the black-robed wizard Colante's pale face unstoppably, and scarlet blood splattered along the distinct fist marks on his face. Get away.

At the same time, the "Reverse Electric Vendetta" that Corrant blessed him also took effect immediately, and an arc of lightning burst out from his body, hitting Randall directly.

Looking at Randall, who was resisting the arc, Corant endured the pain of his face breaking, and with a thought, a magic light floated from the sycamore staff in his hand, reflecting a bright light in the sun.

Corrant picked up the sycamore staff in both hands and charged towards Randall.

"boom!"

A heavy sycamore staff slammed on Randall's forehead, and several scarlet blood slid down his forehead onto his pale cheeks.

"clang!"

The wizard Randall resisted the powerless dizziness coming from his head, and waved his fist as hard as a stone to resist Corrant's second attack.

Then he pounced forward and directly knocked Krant, who continued to wave his staff to attack, onto the grass.

The two noble wizards scuffled together like two street gangsters under the strange eyes of the crowd.
