Chapter 871 Super caster, close-range confrontation
Of course, subconsciously, Xia Duo was not satisfied with just killing twelve elf mages, or, if conditions permitted, he actually wanted to have a chance encounter with the elves.
In Xia Duo's concept, elves are definitely the enemy of human beings. As long as he is already a human and has not changed his race thoughts, many things can be prepared in advance.
Now that he had made the decision, Xia Duo once again put aside all distracting thoughts and devoted himself to the spiritual link.
For a moment, in this state of extreme perception and concentration, his consciousness actually broke through the limitations of time and space, and towered over the battlefield in a transcendental manner.
This is not on the material level, but on the spiritual level. In the link of collaborative thinking among a group of high-level mages, Sha Duo has already transformed into the collective consciousness of more than a hundred high-level mages and has become a super spellcaster.
In such a state, the so-called joint casting is just a natural instinct of this super caster.
The elves came again, and they appeared in a strong and domineering manner, just like a giant rushing out of the water. Those elven mages forcibly linked the two spaces together through the etheric plane, and the huge energy current flowed through the magic network.
There is a turbulent flow behind it.
Almost as soon as he discovered the elf teleportation, Sha Duo began to delay the teleportation, and used multiple terminal high-level mages in the spiritual link to individually operate the string of the magic network to forcibly construct a 4-ring [delayed teleportation].
Generally speaking, this spell is resident on the caster before transmission, and will automatically delay or not intervene until the transmission signal is detected.
If a normal spell caster starts to cast a spell after noticing the transmission signal, even someone like Sha Duo who is very knowledgeable and skilled in this spell will have a hard time successfully casting the spell in time.
But super casters are different. When multiple people cooperate, even if they just forcefully pinch a spell source point, it will be faster than casting a spell alone.
Of course, all of this relies on the trust of various high-level mages in a spiritual link to Sha Duo, or in other words, Sha Duo forcibly exerts influence on the high-level mages at the terminal through subconsciousness, allowing them to cast spells subconsciously and almost intuitively.
Otherwise, let alone whether the forced pinching technique can be successful, the problem of delay from when Xia Duo sends the command to when the terminal understands and executes it will not be able to get around it.
In any case, following Sha Duo's will and using the hundreds of high-level mages in the spiritual link as threads, the super caster successfully cast the spell again.
It is a pity that Xia Duo has not upgraded [Delayed Teleportation] to level 7 or above. If this spell appears at level 8 at this time, no matter how big the noise the elf mages make, it will be difficult to overcome the spell.
Delay effect.
For those teleportation spells that are most likely to be of level 9 or even higher than level 9, the [Delayed Teleportation] effect below level 8 can only be said to be better than nothing.
But after all, it is not nothing. Even if it only has a little effect, the situation will be different.
In the eyes of this super caster, which is now composed of Xia Duo and nearly a hundred other high-level mages (some of whom are offline), even a little time is enough to make a correct response without being caught off guard.
At this time, what Xia Duo needs to do most is to "concentrate threads"!
Although the scattered high-level mages are still under his command, they are like scattered chopsticks. When it is necessary to fight against the incoming "iron rod", a few chopsticks may be used to delay the attack with skill and space.
But chopsticks and iron rods are essentially incompatible. The chopsticks must be bundled together to truly have the power to fight against the iron rod.
Of course, this is only the basis for confrontation in terms of size. Only with this size can we talk about other things, such as skills, experience, etc.
Xia Duo issued teleportation instructions to all the high-level mages in the link, and they had to teleport as quickly as possible without any hesitation.
Even so, only about twenty people teleported to the place where the elves were about to attack before the elves teleported to them.
Of course there are many factors affecting this, the biggest of which is the elves themselves.
Generally speaking, teleportation is achieved with the help of the parallel overlapping state of the etheric plane and the normal plane. Now that the elves have powerful group teleportation spells, other teleportation spells have been more or less interfered with.
But for Xia Duo, more than twenty people were enough for him to build a basically feasible temporary defense.

——[Protection-2-1]
Almost at the moment when the elf teleportation arrived, the human side completed the first protective spell equivalent to an 8-level spell, and then it was a direct spell confrontation process.
This is not a normal spell confrontation, which is a normal spell confrontation. The two sides are far apart, and the form of the confrontation is more in the form of the birth and death of specific spells.
But here, maybe the elves are unwilling to evacuate before, maybe they have an urgent desire to destroy the guidance beacon, or maybe there are other reasons.
In short, the elf teleported directly to the guidance beacon, and the two sides were almost at hand-to-hand combat distance.
At this distance, the spell confrontation unfolded in another more mysterious form.
…
There are almost no complete spells in the whole process, only the leakage of elements and energy caused by the constant competition between the two sides for the string of the magic network at the magic network level.
In the normal world - in a corner of the forest on the green field plane, various elemental phenomena appear out of thin air in the space, whether it is water flow or lightning, to name a few.
And these visions are not just visions, but also the direct manifestation of elements and energy, leading a large number of trees around the beacon to be destroyed by the turbulent flow of these embodied elements and energy.
It even affected both sides of the spell confrontation, but because both sides had protective spells, it did not cause any casualties.
This is the first time Sha Duo has seen such a spell confrontation scene.
At the same time, he finally understood why most spell casters did not like to cast spells in front of other spell casters. In addition to the possibility of other spell casters snooping on the details of the spell, it was also possible that they were worried about being dragged into the most direct fight for the strings of the magic network.
Spell counters for control.
If it is just an individual spell caster, then if you want to avoid this most direct spell confrontation, the safe casting distance required is about 10 meters.
Beyond this distance is a normal, relatively complete confrontation in the form of spell birth and death.
But now that the elves are in a state of joint casting, Xia Duo found that even if they are more than 10 meters apart, it is enough to interfere with the other party.
This may be related to the number of people who jointly cast spells. Previously, the elves were a team of 13 wizards. Even if high-level human wizards counterattacked element-level spells at close range, it did not cause any turbulent flow of elements or energy.
