"I see……"
The black energy kept hovering around Duan Qing, seeming to become more intense with Kangweina's gestures. Looking at the corpses of many tribal warriors lying around, Duan Qing noticed the gap between the enemy and ourselves.
He had to show a wry smile: "Are these black... energies all yours?"
"To be precise, they are my magic."
The old man who coughed twice from time to time nodded with satisfaction, and then dispersed the black energy ball condensed in his hands into the air again: "When magic is extremely pure, they often lose their original form, and these
Pure elements... appear differently in the hands of different people."
"To say these words to you, a half-experienced magic swordsman, may be tantamount to playing the harp to an ox." After saying this, he smiled slightly, and then raised his staff: "We should use a more direct method to explain.
Just give it a try."
Following his movements, the black energy gathered and took shape again, and then turned into ice spikes all over the sky, flying in the direction of Duan Qing. Duan Qing with a solemn face took a few steps back, and finally chose to roll and dodge.
The ice spikes that pierced the ground turned into black mist all over the sky in the next moment, and then dispersed and gathered again, turning into a fiercely burning light fire all over the sky.
"Hehehehe...do you understand?"
Surrounded by the clouds of flames, Duan Qing's charred figure rolled out again. Kangweina, who was looking at all this, let out two low laughs and once again grabbed a little bit of the black energy that filled the area.
: "Observe the last fragments of your life with gratitude, because these things in front of you are the prototypes of magic. Under my control, they can become any other magical energy..."
"This is the origin and end of magic. As long as you step into my domain, even the Council of Seven... will have no power to resist."
In the changing light and shadow of black energy, rock spikes surrounded by violent strong winds gradually appeared in his hands, and then turned into fast cannonballs, shooting towards Duan Qing's place, who was still lying on the ground.
He reluctantly raised the dagger and deflected the extremely fast blow with the same extreme movements. The stone thorn that originally brushed against his ear did not embed into the ground next to him as expected, but turned into ashes.
The blue energy that filled the sky returned to his side once again.
"Oops..."
"It seems you understand somewhat."
The ice lines transformed from the black air gradually intersected around Duan Qing, forming a dense web together with the fire clouds that were gradually approaching from the front, and Kangweina's hoarse low laughter also gradually sounded in the air.
Between two kinds of magic that are supposed to be incompatible: "Formless magic is the most powerful magic, because they have countless changes and are not limited to one pattern. The magician who can control this kind of magic form is this
The most powerful magician in the world."
"These are just the simplest changes, but they are enough to deal with ordinary adventurers." Looking at Duan Qing, who was trapped in a cage of ice and fire, Kangweina shook the black energy on his fingers that had not yet dissipated.
: "If you want to enjoy more content, you'd better become... stronger."
"It is indeed a very powerful ability."
Duan Qing, who was sitting on the ground, protected his vitals with his arms, struggling to support himself between the ice and fire cage: "Is this the way the ancient magic empire used magic?"
"The existing Council of Mages has long gone astray, because that's how magic should be. Even the simplest uses... they can exert the most powerful power." Convina smiled and nodded: "
The only thing in the world that can limit this kind of power is people's extremely poor imagination, and this... is also where the swordsmanship you always value can never be as good as magic."
"Imagination...hey, that seems to make sense."
Holding back the two layers of ice and fire around him, Duan Qing looked behind him in the distance: "But according to our understanding, your black mist...should have corrosive energy, right?"
"..."
"During the Battle of Tania, we met two adventurers. They claimed to have accepted your inheritance and could use the same black energy to corrode other people's armor." They seemed to have noticed the other party.
Without hesitation, Duan Qing continued to accuse in a low voice: "Is this one of the magical energies that you are proud of?"
"The origin of magic has many forms, which... I have said before." The old man looked up at the black clouds around him: "That form... that should not be called the form of corrosion, but should be called...
The form of assimilation is the right one.”
"assimilation?"
"Return the magical energy that makes up all things to its origin."
The old man slowly turned around: "Since there will be conflicts between elements, fusion will naturally occur. Using different elemental energies to neutralize opposite attributes is also a basic skill that a magician should learn. In my
During the research, this new type of magic that can be arranged and combined independently has indeed produced an application result, but apart from being able to destroy the magic energy condensed on the items, the kind of assimilation and dissolution of magic... There is nothing too
It has a big effect.”
"It is very effective, but it should not be the way to use magic." Convina sighed at this point: "So I threw away that direction and never used it again."
"The ones that appeared in Tania..."
"Maybe someone else used my results."
The old man chuckled indifferently: "It's not a big deal. I have naturally taught it to a few like-minded friends. They must have passed on this application method to others in my name. Although
In my impression, this method of use is not something that a few adventurers can master, so the adventurers you mentioned, I don’t know how they learned it... Well, what on earth did I learn?
Who did you teach these magics to?"
As if he was caught in some strange memories, a rare look of confusion appeared on the old man's face: "Among the people sent to Tania before...and Tania's actions, how did they...
No, that's not right, something is missing somewhere..."
"Uh, that..."
The words Gustan once said suddenly rang out, and a thunder and lightning flashed in Duan Qing's mind, and then he let out a few dry laughs while leaning towards the ice and fire net that was gradually loosening around him: "What about this throne magic circle? You
Is this how you crack it?"
"...No, this one is much more complicated."
Convina, who was stroking his forehead, finally gave up the inexplicable memories and returned his attention to the center of the field: "But for me, no matter how complex the magic circle is, it is also composed of elements. As long as I can understand its operating rules, then
Re-simulate the magic energy it requires... and everything will be solved."
"The magic that simulates the throne circle? It sounds very powerful..."
"The ratio of guide chains to elements is the most difficult problem. They need to be handled with the same corresponding magic, because if used carelessly, these fragile guys will break." Convina stretched out a skinny hand.
, slowly placed it on top of the still glowing magic circle: "The purpose of our trip is not to destroy the most powerful weapon in the Free City, but to activate it, so unless we obtain the key, we want to force it
Obtaining recognition from the magic circle is a very difficult job..."
"Free City's... most powerful weapon?" Duan Qing, who was still trying to get rid of the shackles of magic, paused slightly for a moment: "Aren't you intruders? Why do you have to activate it for Free City?
?”
"Hehehehe... It seems that you still know very little about the past of Liberty City."
There was an inexplicable chuckle again, and Kangwena replied without looking back: "As a city independent of the Free Continent, can the Free City only rely on a few gang leaders and shadow societies who only know how to kill each other?
Will the city be safe and sound? Or do you think... those unconvincing covenants when the city was founded can prevent other countries from coveting this city? If you want to stand firm on this continent, just rely on negotiation and words.
But it’s useless. If you want to prevent other people from secretly harboring ill intentions toward you, you must have a certain amount of force and... strong deterrence."
"For example, a giant magic circle that can instantly destroy any other city..."
He pointed to the still glowing magic circle in front of him, and then laughed again: "How about this choice?"
"The so-called Star of Morna..." Duan Qing's face finally darkened: "Is it a magic circle that can destroy a city?"
"To be precise, it's a magic cannon."
The black energy still lingers around Kangwena, and at the same time, his skinny fingers are constantly beating: "Molnar is a genius. He used the power of the tide of the endless sea to bury...
This large magic circle used the nature of the pirates to create the Twelve Thrones, and then absorbed part of their original power, using keys and magic circle to infinitely amplify their joint strength... It is worthy of being from the ancient magic empire.
Magician! This is a miracle full of power! If this magic circle really launches as described, even Tania and Redkar will be easily wiped out from this tiny world.
!Ha ha ha ha!"
"...His."
Cursing involuntarily, Duan Qing cast his evil gaze on the old man who was still laughing triumphantly, then clapped his hands vigorously and got out of the already loosened ice and fire net.
, amidst the violent fluctuations of black energy nearby, he threw out a subtle sword shadow with his backhand, and then charged in the direction of Kangweina before the surrounding energy could react: "How could you let you be like..."
boom!
In the clear and loud shock, the subtle sword energy was like a bullet piercing into the water, and then fell to the ground crookedly under the action of the extremely sluggish viscous resistance. This flashed in the peripheral vision.
Duan Qing, who saw a strange sight, then hit an invisible wall and stopped with stars in his eyes. Pieces of black mist with various colors of light and shadow then surrounded his body, trapping him in mid-air again.
Medium: "Do you think I would let down my guard so easily..."
"The adventurer who once ruined our plans?"
Kangweina, who turned his wrist over, turned his head, and his joking eyes glanced at Duan Qing, who was still struggling: "Or maybe you really think... I will be like a god to help you in the Parliament Square, no?
The slightest understanding and precaution?”
"This, what kind of magic is this?"
Looking at his gradually disappearing physical strength, Duan Qing's voice also became weak: "Don't you... disdain to use this kind of corrosive power?"
"A layman is a layman, and you seem to lack sufficient knowledge of the existing magic system." Convina slowly shook his head: "The so-called corrosive power can only extract the magic from the items, and cannot deal with it.
People or other creatures can produce effective effects, and if you want to truly limit a person's ability...extracting his own energy is the most direct way, although both in terms of the degree of power required and the degree of sophistication of magic control
Judging from the above, this approach is undoubtedly much more wasteful, but for me... it is not too difficult to simulate such an effect."
"People in the ancient Magic Empire called this magic 'vitality extraction', and it was a method often used when imprisoning criminals." The old man looked at Duan Qing's extremely pale face, and then turned around slowly.
: "What can you do in this state... I'm looking forward to your reaction."
"...It seems there is no other way."
The boundless aura gradually rose from Duan Qing's body, and then surrounded his whole body. The power that did not belong to this world immediately attracted Kangweina's eyes back, but the first thing that caught his eye was Duan Qing's solemn and solemn look.
A pair of quiet eyes, as the veins around the eyes appeared, the pale white light gradually extended beyond the scope of Duan Qing's body, and then in Kangweina's unexpected and startled sight, the surrounding
The black lines shattered into fragments all over the sky: "This may be the last time. It was originally meant to be left to Oxon..."
"Now I leave it to you to enjoy!"
The white light was like a jet of air, completely dispersing the surrounding black mist in the blink of an eye. Then it gradually condensed as the old man retreated, turning into the shadow of a huge lightsaber. The outline of the hazy sword light then broke through the thatch.
The roof of the house shot straight into the sky with an ear-piercing scream, and finally flattened out with Duan Qing's shout, before slashing down in the direction of the old man.
"Open Heaven Slash!"
boom!
The sudden rise of black energy turned into an irregular energy shell, blocking the light and shadow giant sword for a moment, and then exploded into countless flying fragments amidst the violent impact.
Side was then completely overwhelmed by this raging energy, blowing half of the room into an open-air square. Duan Qing, who was standing in the center of the square near the dark side, half-knelt on the ground, panting and looking at the people still protecting him.
The figure of the old man in front of the magic circle.
"Hehehehe..."
Still surrounded by the black aura, Kangweina let out a few low laughs. The skinny staff that was blocked in front of him in a hurry was scattered and split in the wind, revealing his still trembling hands to Duan Qing.
In front of him: "Is the sword energy changing..."
"It's really eye-opening."
With such an admiration coming from his mouth, he slowly sat down on the pedestal in front of the magic circle.
