The alliance mages' disregard of risks and destruction has indeed achieved considerable results. Although this is not in the interests of the alliance, it is not a good thing for the Illuminati.
Under this situation, the high mage from the Illuminati had to devote more energy to maintaining the ritual, thereby weakening the offensive against the alliance mage.
After all, for a single spell caster, it is not that it is absolutely impossible to maintain dual threads or even more threads of spell casting, but it is very difficult to maintain because individual consciousness is the natural focus of will.
Multi-threaded spell casting means that the caster has multiple consciousnesses at the same time. If it exists permanently, it means that the caster has a split personality. Even if it exists temporarily, it requires extra concentration.
Or it can be explained by multitasking, unless the multiple applications here are mutually reinforcing. If they are independent of each other, the difficulty will increase exponentially.
Human concentration is limited, and different things consume different amounts of concentration. For example, eating requires very little concentration, and even if you are in a daze, you won't be able to put the food in your nose.
However, casting spells is something that requires a high degree of concentration. The more threads are separated, the greater the upper limit of concentration required. Generally speaking, it is very difficult for an individual spell caster to be able to maintain two threads of spell casting at the same time after training.
Three-threaded spellcasting is almost impossible for individual spellcasters, not to mention that it is even more difficult when the spellcasting scene is in a spell duel.
Xia Duo can perform dual-threaded spellcasting, but he is not proficient in it. It is okay to use the body and the incarnation to perform the same experiment together. If the spell duel is carried out separately, it will be somewhat neglected.
This ability can be trained, but no matter how it is trained, the physical body always has an upper limit. It is true that casting spells depends on the will, but the will cannot exist independently from the body.
This is also the fundamental reason why excessive spellcasting can weaken the body.
The same is true for the current high mage of the Illuminati. Although Sha Duo has overestimated him, the spellcasting limit shown by the other party has not even reached the dual thread.
Of course, even if it is achieved, it is useless, because the mage team on the front line can at least maintain three threads of spell casting. If it is not divided into too many threads, the intensity of single-threaded spell casting will decrease rapidly. In the extreme state, there are at least as many spell casters as there can be maintained.
thread.
This is the power of the team.
This is also the only way for the weak to defeat the strong by relying solely on their own spellcasting ability, at least the only way that Sha Duo can think of. In reality, it must also be considered that the strong have stronger external objects.
Sometimes most of a strong man's power may be reflected in external objects. In this case, only wealth can determine the outcome.
Right now, over at Teardrop Lake, if it was just a communication-based spell duel, then Xia Duo would be almost 90% sure to beat the high mage. After all, the advantage of having one more thread is too great.
But this is war, and war involves all means. The individual combat power of a high-ranking mage may not be comparable to that of the sixteen alliance mages blessed by Xia Duo's "software", but in terms of wealth, those sixteen alliance mages may not be able to compare.
Far inferior to the other party.
In addition, both parties have their own goals to achieve, so Xia Duo set the possibility of achieving the goal of this operation at 30%. If it is an investment, only 30% is likely to be profitable, then he may not consider it at all.
But now it is not for profit, but for the chance of survival in more local battlefields. Even if there is only one percent chance, he will give 100% effort.
…
The Alliance mages once again had the upper hand, so Shado once again changed his spell-casting strategy, adjusting the reckless destruction to the delicate testing as at the beginning, and even tried to seize the dominance of the ceremony.
But in this way, the initiative once again returned to the hands of the Illuminati mage. This guy is not without advantages. He is a high mage himself, and he has the home field advantage of the Mystical Altar.
In this way, the two sides started fighting again. Since it was a delicate test, every step hardly exceeded the Illuminati mage's coping limit. To a certain extent, it could even be said that Sha Duo jumped into the opponent's trap on his own initiative.
Just like in the hometown classic novel "The Romance of the Gods", if you want to break the ten-point formation, you have to send one in first to fill it up. At this time, Xia Duo will not put the alliance into a desperate situation, but he also takes the initiative to give up the initiative.
Therefore, after adapting to the probing rhythm of the alliance mage, the Illuminati mage quickly freed up his hands to target the alliance mage by the lake again, and even summoned another provocation:
"Is this all you can do? Get ready to welcome the new world!"
"Ignore the other person, he is already furious!"
Xia Duo continued to do the psychological work of a frontline mage in the spiritual link, always maintaining a stable three-threaded spellcasting, just to test the Illuminati rituals in a more detailed manner, and was inevitably lacking in other aspects.
The third thread is not invincible. It is just a spellcasting team composed of one senior mage and fifteen elite mages, not three high mages.
In terms of hardware, this alliance mage team is not as good as the Illuminati high mage.
In terms of software, Xia Duo believed that he was much stronger than the opponent, but he could not use all his limited spell-casting resources to fight the opponent, because he knew very well that even if he tried his best, the opponent would definitely be able to run away if he wanted to.
Lose.
Defeating only one Illuminati member will not win the final battle for the Alliance, even if that Illuminati member is a wise man!
As long as the opponent cannot be caught, the priority of obtaining the details of the ritual is higher than the battle. Sha Duo does not regard catching the opponent as the first goal. It is not even the main goal, just incidental.
If the opportunity is right and convenient, then grab it. If there is no chance, then you definitely can't force it.
Now that the opponent had the upper hand again, Xia Duo did not hesitate to return to his previous strategy - destroying the ceremony regardless of the consequences. And as he expected, the opponent again focused on maintaining the ceremony.
For a while, the situation was at a stalemate, which was undoubtedly good for Xia Duo, because he had already prepared for the worst. The Teardrop Lake was only a local battlefield, but the information it provided could affect the overall situation.
.
It's just that this almost obvious strategy was quickly noticed by the Illuminati mage. Although his first goal was to complete the ritual, and with the current situation, he had a higher probability of successfully completing the ritual and leaving safely.
but--
Maldivika is not one of those peripheral members of the Illuminati who is driven by manipulation. He has an extremely fanatical belief in the Illuminati's new world philosophy, and he is willing to do anything for the arrival of the new world.
For him, as long as the Illuminati can complete the ritual, no matter whether he dies or lives in the process, he will eventually be reborn in the new world.
This is the promise of a wise man and also his own belief.
