On the desolate land, the illusory fog continues to spread.
Bistan's face was gloomy, and he roared, waving his two bone-sharp blade arms wildly, setting off waves of air.
"Damn illusion..."
Crows circled in the sky, and countless black colors almost swallowed the world. Bistan released his mental power as much as possible and tried to tear the illusion into pieces, but the results were not satisfactory.
Boom!
A dull and strange sound sounded, and in the sky, countless black crows suddenly flew in one direction, gradually converging into a huge and terrifying figure.
"Shadow Demon!!" Bistan's pupils shrank.
The huge black figure looked like a giant beast from ancient times, with shadows all over his body, holding two slender shadow swords in his arms.
The shadow beast appeared on the desolate land, and the strong sense of oppression almost suffocated Bistan. He gritted his teeth and released his mental power crazily.
"Illusion! Everything is illusion!"
Bistan roared in his heart, but the feeling of fear gradually surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Bang! Bang!
The giant beast moved forward slowly, approaching Bistan, forming a huge shadow on the ground, almost swallowing the entire world.
brush!!
Two long swords condensed by shadows were suddenly slashed down. Bistan roared wildly and raised his arms with bone blades suddenly.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the Bone Blade's arms broke, Bistan wailed in pain, and then his whole body was split in half by the shadow sword.
"ah!!!"
As the pain of his body being torn apart spread, the illusory space around him began to fragment. Bistan's pupils became dilated and he returned to the underground arena.
Plop!
Bistan's legs weakened and he knelt on the ground. The aura of death surrounding his body dissipated, and the sharp-edged bone demon's form transformation was lifted.
Opposite him, Enzo looked a little pale.
Using the derivative ability of Phantom Crow Qianling to create an illusion is itself an extremely mentally draining matter, not to mention that the opponent is also a first-level wizard. Just to drag Bistan into the illusion, Enzo almost exhausted his magic power.
.
"...Victor, Enzo!"
Later, Mitchell appeared in the arena and announced the results of the competition. Although Enzo was in extremely poor condition at the moment, he still retained a trace of combat effectiveness.
However, Bistan on the opposite side had completely lost consciousness and experienced a death in the illusion, which almost caused his mental collapse.
"Using the derivative abilities of Phantom Crow Qianling, you can create a fantasy world!"
On the spot, a hint of understanding appeared in Enzo's eyes, and he murmured: "But using this ability requires a lot of mental power, and it consumes too much magic power!"
"In comparison, [Ghost Shadow] is more suitable for general combat. The only disadvantage is that it lacks the power of attack spells!"
Enzo shook his head and left the arena.
Summarizing experience after going through a battle has become Enzo's basic habit, because only in this way can he use the chip's analysis function to get more data.
Then, the next competition continues.
Time continued to pass, and all twenty competitions ended. The eliminated ones left the underground arena, and the winners began the second round of competitions.
There are three rounds of competition, with half of the participants eliminated each time, and only five people will be left in the end.
"Myrcella vs. Tina."
In the first round of the second round, it was Myrcella's turn. Tina on the opposite side couldn't help but turn pale and gritted her teeth.
"Damn, what bad luck!"
Tina's face was gloomy and she walked into the arena. Although she had seen Myrcella's strength before, as a conqueror wizard, her pride did not allow her to admit defeat.
"Come on, let me see what you're capable of!"
This time, after Tina came on the stage, she did not hide her strength and directly activated her talent witchcraft True Red Dance, and the bloody mist began to fill the air.
brush!
Red tentacles shot out one after another, like the claws of a vampire. Myrcella on the opposite side had a calm expression and waved her hand casually.
In an instant, the flames surged like ocean waves!
The red mist was ignited by the flames, and the surrounding area suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and the red tentacles were all swallowed up by the flames.
"Roar!!"
At this time, a beast roar sounded in vain, and opposite Myrcella, a petite figure tore through the fire curtain and rushed out.
"A blood wizard again?" Enzo raised his eyebrows in the audience.
Tina rushed out of the fire curtain, her whole body covered in blood-red scales, with a long scorpion-like tail trailing behind her, waving wildly while dispelling the scorching flames around her.
In place, Myrcella finally took out her wand.
"Magic weapon!?" Enzo's pupils shrank, looking at the crimson crystal wand in Myrcella's hand, he felt a wave of emotion in his heart.
The aura emanating from that wand was obviously a magic weapon. As Myrcella injected magic power into it, the terrifying and powerful flame djinn was summoned.
Any complete magic weapon has its spirit!
This is also one of the conditions for the power of magical witchcraft. The red crystal wand in Myrcella's hand, the flame djinn, is at least a first-order life form based on the intensity of energy it emits.
"Judgment by Fire!"
Myrcella spoke softly, paused the red wand in her hand, the flame giant roared, and the meteor-like fire from the sky fell one after another, covering the entire underground arena.
Bang bang bang!
As streams of fire hit Tina's body, the blood-red scales ignited flames, causing her to wail in pain.
"Damn it, I give up..."
Tina cursed and quickly admitted defeat. She had already used her bloodline form, but she couldn't even get close to Myrcella. Continuing to fight would be tantamount to humiliating herself.
On the spot, Myrcella put away her wand.
The flame giant disappeared and the sea of fire spreading in the arena gradually extinguished. She still had an indifferent expression and turned around to leave.
Tina gritted her teeth, with a look of reluctance on her face.
"Victor, Myrcella!"
As Mitchell once again announced that this undisputed battle was over, the two [Skull Castle] wizards then faced off. Both sides tried their best, and the stronger one won in the end.
"It seems that among us, Myrcella is definitely the strongest!"
In the audience, Enzo looked not far away. Myrcella was sleeping with her eyes closed. The strength she showed made everyone feel afraid.
"I hope you don't let me have a duel with this woman..." On the side, Kelun's face looked ugly.
[Blazing Sun Furnace] The supreme idea, coupled with the magic weapon, allows Myrcella to control a combat power comparable to that of a second-level wizard, making her the undisputed strongest among all people.
With each contestant competing against each other, the second round of competition was quickly halfway through.
"Next game, Enzo versus Fletcher."
Finally it was Enzo's turn to play again. This time his opponent still came from [Skull Castle]. He was a white-haired old man, wearing a gray wizard robe and carrying a golden coffin.
Wizard Fletcher, the eldest of all the wizards present!
In the first round of the competition, Enzo had seen Fletcher fight against others. He was good at using necromancy witchcraft, and the golden coffin on his back was the top level demonized item.
"You guys who have mastered [Illusion Crow Thousand Spirits], come on!"
After the white-haired Fletcher came on stage, he threw the golden coffin on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Use all your methods and let me see the power of advanced meditation."
Enzo no longer hesitated and took the lead in attacking.
The shadows under his feet struck like poisonous snakes. Fletcher quickly dodged and waved the wand in his hand. The two-meter-high golden coffin beside him opened, and a mummy wrapped in bandages came out.
Then, the second one, the third one...
The golden coffin seemed like a dimensional space, with bandaged mummies coming out one after another, almost filling the entire arena, like an army of mummies.
"Summoning witchcraft?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
He was not surprised by the golden coffin's ability to summon mummies, because he had already seen Fletcher use this method in the first round of the competition.
"Shadow Spear!"
On the spot, Enzo waved his wand at will, and twelve shadow spears condensed, and then shot out in all directions. After being promoted to a first-level wizard, even the energy intensity of the shadow spears with zero-ring witchcraft can reach more than 10.
Whoosh!
Shadow spears were shot in all directions, each one hitting a mummy. After the dark matter energy exploded, the mummies turned into ashes and disappeared.
"Okay, now we can officially start!"
Opposite him, a sneer appeared on Fletcher's old face. His lips trembled slightly, and obscure syllables came out of his mouth. The mummies around him swelled up under the power of magic.
Ouch!
Amidst the weird roars, the mummies burst their bandages one after another, turning into monsters two meters tall, with pale skin and covered with sharp barbs, and surrounded Enzo.
"Has he become stronger?" Enzo's eyes narrowed.
Even without using a chip for detection, Enzo could still feel the obvious changes in the mummy driven by Fletcher's magic.
Around him, strange mummies were rushing towards him.
"The Art of Phantom Crow!"
With a thought in Enzo's mind, his body turned into phantom crows and dispersed, preparing to regroup in an area not far away.
At this time, the ground was raised in vain.
A mummy monster with rotting flesh and stench, pale skin and barbed skin, emerged from the ground, and a thick and ferocious arm suddenly grabbed Enzo.
"Wings of Shadow!"
Enzo, who had just condensed into a solid body, decisively activated his shadow wings and flew into the air to avoid it. However, the next moment, the mummy monster suddenly opened its mouth full of fangs and sprayed out a stream of gray-yellow pus.
Bah!
The shadow shield appeared instantly, blocking the attack of the gray-yellow pus, but then it made a harsh sound and a cloud of gray mist rose.
"Successful!" On the opposite side, Fletcher smiled ferociously.
Immediately afterwards, he raised his wand and pricked his arm, letting the blood drip onto the ground. Then he used the end of the wand, dipped in blood, to draw on the ground.
In a moment, a strange symbol was completed!
"Corpse poison curse!" Fletcher muttered a curse and activated a curse.
In mid-air, Enzo's face turned pale, and the chip's urgent alarm sounded in his mind. Gray color gradually appeared in his eyes, and his vision became blurred.
"Blinding?" His heart trembled.
As the eyes completely fell into darkness, strange roars sounded from all around, as if all the mummy monsters pounced on him in an instant.
"Soul power!"
His eyes were temporarily blinded, Enzo shouted calmly, and his mental power turned into ripples, temporarily repelling the mummy monsters rushing around, but it could only delay time temporarily.
"Chip, activate the energy reserve and get rid of the negative curse!"
"Mission confirmation, activate the reserve energy to remove the negative curse, estimated time required: 1 minute and 15 seconds."
As the command was given, the chip immediately started running, warm energy spread within the body, and Enzo's eyes seemed to gradually regain some clarity.
However, at this time, the surrounding mummy monsters had attacked again.
"Okay, let's try that technique!" Enzo took a deep breath, and the shadows under his feet suddenly dispersed, turning into tentacles that looked like silk threads.
"Shadow Touch!"
The surrounding mummy monsters rushed towards each other one after another. Enzo used the Touch of Shadow, and the tentacles like silk threads pierced into the shadows of the monsters, making them freeze as if they were petrified.
"It worked, not bad!"
His eyes gradually regained their vision, and Enzo couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips. The trigger of shadow was successfully activated, and the surrounding mummy monsters were frozen in place like stone statues.
"What's going on? Is it the ability of [Fantasy Crow Qianling] again?"
Opposite me, Fletcher frowned, shook his head and said, "No, this is not the ability of [Phantom Crow Thousand Spirits], it's just another shadow-based witchcraft!"
"It's my turn to fight back!" Enzo said calmly from where he was.
The blinding curse has been completely removed, and Enzo used the touch of shadow to control the mummy monsters and control them to attack Fletcher.
"snort!"
Fletcher, who was opposite him, snorted coldly when he saw this. He waved his wand and the golden coffin next to him moved slowly and stood in front of him.
The invisible force was like a huge mouth, swallowing up the mummy monsters that rushed over.
"I can release them, and nature can also subdue them!"
Fletcher raised his head, with a hint of pride on his old face. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and his expression changed involuntarily.
"asshole!"
Fletcher roared angrily, and the spiritual power originating from the wizard spread, forming a powerful aura. The shadow assassin who sneaked up from behind instantly turned into smoke and disappeared.
"Dark extinguishing fireball!"
Not far away, Enzo saw that the Shadow Assassin had already caused damage to Fletcher, so he decisively hit the ground with his wand and activated the Dark Fireball Technique.
The black fireball blasted away!
Fletcher used magic power to suppress the flow of blood, and then hurriedly hid behind the golden coffin, using high-level magic items to block the attack, but the residual power of the fireball still made his face turn pale.
"I lost......"
After a while, Fletcher walked out of the golden coffin with a gloomy face. He was stabbed in the waist by a sharp blade, causing him to lose the idea of continuing to fight.
Enzo raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.
In this battle, Fletcher was only slightly injured and was still capable of fighting. He didn't even use his natural witchcraft as his trump card, but chose to admit defeat.
"Even if we continue, there is no point."
Seemingly seeing through Enzo's doubts, Fletcher shook his head and said, "In the injured state, I have no confidence in resisting your illusion, so there is nothing wrong with it."
Immediately afterwards, Fletcher chuckled, with a strange expression on his face, and said faintly: "What's more, what if you win the competition? The magic weapon as a reward is tempting, but if you don't pay enough, the academy will
