Chapter 279 The battle between Russell and Loki (please order the full version!)
After seeing the mantra lasso flying towards him at a high speed, Loki did not hesitate at all. He flashed and began to change places with the created illusion.
Although he didn't know what kind of power the Lasso of Truth had, he could tell just by looking at the golden light shining on the Lasso of Truth that it was no ordinary weapon.
Now Loki does not dare to use his own body to test the power of the Lasso of Mantra.
In just the blink of an eye, Loki's true form and the six illusions that were fake and real completed a dazzling change of places.
If Loki was facing someone else now, the cover-up tactics he was using might have good results.
But unfortunately, he is now facing Russell, who has super vision.
Although the super vision given by the Kryptonian constitution does not have the ability to see through illusions, Russell does not need to see through Loki's illusion magic now.
He just needs to lock onto Lord Loki firmly.
As for those illusions that are exactly the same as the original one, just ignore them.
Others may not know much about Loki's illusion magic, but Russell knows it clearly.
Although Loki's illusion magic is enough to confuse the fake with the real, the fake is still fake.
No matter how realistic they look, these illusions cannot have real attack capabilities.
As for those dizzying changes of positions between Lord Loki and the illusion, it meant nothing to Russell, who could clearly lock his target at extreme speeds.
Luo Jian thought that after he and the illusion completed the exchange of places, Russell would at least need to spend some time to distinguish between the real person and the illusion.
But he didn't expect that no matter how he changed positions, the golden ray of mantra lasso would still hit him accurately.
How can this be?
After seeing that Russell was not affected by his illusion magic at all, Loki couldn't help showing a hint of shock.
You know, even Thor, who grew up with him, couldn't see through his illusion magic.
In Asgard, except for Odin, Frigga, and Heimdall, Loki's illusion magic has never been seen through.
However, now, Russell, who has just arrived in Asgard today, and who comes from the backward planet Earth, has easily seen through his illusion magic.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Loki would never have been able to believe this fact.
Although the truth was a bit unbelievable, he had to face it now.
After discovering that Russell was not affected by illusion magic at all, Loki decisively gave up the idea of continuing to use illusion magic to confuse Russell.
He quickly put away the knife and began to perform magic gestures with both hands.
Since illusion magic is useless, just use magic attack directly.
Fireball, ice spike, wind blade, lightning...
In just the blink of an eye, Loki cast several low-level attack spells.
Although these magics are not particularly powerful, the ability to cast several different magics in a short period of time is enough to prove that Loki has lived up to Frigga's teachings.
At least in terms of casting speed, Loki can get very good scores.
But it's a pity that Loki's magic is no threat to Russell at all.
Russell casually waved the Lasso of Mantra in his hand, and the fireballs and ice spikes that flew towards him at high speed were easily blocked by the Lasso of Mantra.
Not only that, while using the Lasso of Mantra to resist Loki's magical attacks, Russell also took the opportunity to destroy the magical illusions that were jumping around in front of him, trying to attract his attention.
After discovering that ordinary evocation magic could not cause any trouble to Russell, Loki began to use magic from other schools.
For example, conjuration and illusion magic.
Loki first cast the invisible magic in the illusion system on himself, making himself disappear in front of Russell.
Then, he cast the summoning magic in the conjuration system.
Flame Spider!
On the vast training ground, fire elements in the form of spiders suddenly appeared.
In just two or three seconds, there were more than two hundred flame spiders on the training ground.
When these flame spiders appeared out of thin air on the training ground, Russell finally started to cast magic.
Isn’t it magic? I can do it!
Russell first put away the mantra lasso in his hand.
Then, as these flame spiders rushed towards him, his hands began to quickly form magic gestures.
A seventh-level spell of protection!
Advanced Otilu Exorcism Barrier!
As Russell cast the spell, a hemispherical force field that was imperceptible to the naked eye instantly unfolded with him as the center.
The diameter of this hemispherical force field reaches more than ten meters.
Although invisible to the naked eye, a strange phenomenon occurred when the flame spiders summoned by Loki attacked him like army ants.
As soon as these running flame spiders stepped into the hemispherical force field, they decomposed into pure fire elements at a speed visible to the naked eye and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Advanced Otilu Exorcism Barrier, as the name suggests, is an exorcism magic.
The effect of this magic is very simple. As long as a creature or object passes through the area where the force field is located, the effect of the magic will be lifted.
Regardless of whether the spiders summoned by Loki are fire spiders or real spiders, when they step into the position set up by the exorcism barrier, the magic effect will be lifted.
The only difference lies in whether it is transformed directly into a pure fire element after the magic effect is lifted, or whether it is exiled back to the original summoning area.
After discovering that Russell had cast the advanced Otilu Exorcist Barrier, a seventh-level spell in the protection system, Loki had no time to give new instructions to the flame spider.
He could only watch helplessly as the army of flame spiders he had spent a lot of magic to summon turned into pure primitive fire elements and dissipated into the air like smoke.
Damn it!
After seeing this scene, Loki couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
Although he knew that Russell was a student of the Supreme Mage Ancient One, he did not think that Russell, as an earthling, had strong magical abilities.
No matter how you look at it, the magical talent of the Asgardians is several levels higher than that of humans on Earth.
From a racial perspective, Loki's view is not wrong.
Humans on Earth are indeed a race with weak magical talent, at least they cannot compare with the Asgardians or the Vanirs.
But this does not mean that mages on Earth are inferior to those in Asgard.
No matter how weak a race is, it is possible to give birth to a top strong person.
What's more, humans on Earth are a race that creates some miracles from time to time.
In terms of lifespan and physical fitness, humans on Earth are indeed far inferior to Asgardians.
Compared with Asgardians, humans on Earth are as weak as babies.
In other words, the maximum lifespan of humans on earth is not even enough for an Asgardian to survive the so-called "infancy" period.
But it would be a big mistake to underestimate the people on earth.
Putting aside the inexplicable important position of the earth in the universe, the hidden bosses on the earth alone can raise the level of the earth several levels out of thin air.
Of course, because these big guys are basically in a state of seclusion or escaping from the world, the earth looks so weak in the eyes of other planets and civilizations.
After using the advanced Otilu exorcism barrier to neutralize Loki's flame spider, Russell did not hesitate and cast the second magic.
The advanced Otilu exorcism barrier he just cast was a seventh-level spell in the protection system. Now, he plans to cast a seventh-level spell in the conjuration system.
If he remembered correctly, the flame spider magic that Loki cast just now was a sixth-level spell in the conjuration system.
As a mage who considers himself to be quite good, Russell must of course reciprocate with courtesy.
For example, casting higher-level conjuration spells.
A seventh-level spell in the conjuration system!
Lightning storm!
Russell completed all the spell-casting gestures in the blink of an eye, and a huge dark thundercloud quickly gathered in the originally clear sky.
Cast Lightning Storm in Asgard, and also cast Lightning Storm at the guard training ground near the Golden Palace.
It has to be said that Russell's approach is somewhat provocative.
Others may not be able to sense the power of the lightning storm, but Odin and Thor can definitely sense it.
Even if the lightning storm has not been officially launched, they can accurately judge the power of the lightning storm by sensing the thunderclouds in the sky.
Dark thunderclouds began to cover the sky, and the sky that was bright just now suddenly became cloudy.
Loki frowned again.
Who is this guy?
The seventh-level spell of the Conjuration System can be cast at the drop of a hat!
This is not magic at all!
Of course Loki can also use lightning storm, a seventh-level spell in the conjuration system.
But he knew very well that there was absolutely no way he could do whatever he wanted like Russell.
Just when his mind was full of questions, he suddenly remembered what Odin said to Russell.
Divine power!
Russell not only possesses divine power that most Asgardians are unable to awaken, but he also regards divine power as the source of magic.
After thinking of Odin's words, Loki began to understand why Russell could cast the seventh-level spell Lightning Storm of the Conjuration System so easily.
The reason is simple, because Russell crossed certain limits in white magic.
Russell does not need to borrow magic power from other magic masters, he only needs to respond to himself to convert his own divine power into magic power.
Although this is only a change in the nature of energy, for a mage, it means that he can meet all the requirements for spellcasting in the simplest way.
If he hadn't seen Russell needing to use magic gestures to coordinate with spellcasting, Loki would have even doubted that he could cast spells instantly or silently.
Damn it!
How come this damn earthling has divine power!
Loki once again scolded Russell secretly in his heart.
However, now is not a good time to curse Russell secretly, because the lightning storm Russell cast is about to take shape.
Loki, who was in the invisible state, looked up at the thunderclouds above his head and made a quick decision.
It was you who forced me!
do not blame me!
Before the lightning storm officially struck, Loki began his last ditch effort.
He also cast a seventh-level spell.
However, what he now uses is no longer the conjuration system, nor the illusion system that he is better at, but the necromancy system, which is taboo in Asgard.
Seventh level necromancy spell!
The finger of death!
Although this was just an ordinary sparring match, Loki was obviously a little over the top now.
In other words, he is a little bit crazy now.
If he still maintains basic sanity now, he will know the serious consequences of casting a seventh-level necromancy spell under Odin's nose.
Especially what he plans to use now is the finger of death that can kill any life.
Russell originally planned to use the lightning storm to force Loki out of the invisible state, and test Odin and Thor a little by the way.
Just when he was about to let the lightning storm officially strike down and use "Lightning Wash" to force Loki out, he sensed a strong death magic.
This is?
Although Russell didn't know much necromancy magic, after sensing this extremely rich death magic, a necromancy magic flashed through his mind.
No way!
Do you really want to play this big?
Although he couldn't see Loki now, his intuition told him that Loki was accurately performing the infamous Finger of Death in necromancy magic.
In the blink of an eye, several thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.
Later, he gave up the idea of adding magical protection to himself.
Although Finger of Death is a notorious necromancy spell, it has an extremely powerful instant death effect.
But this is not a spell that has no immunity.
There are two very simple ways to avoid the instant death effect of Finger of Death.
The first is that one's own magic level is much higher than the opponent's.
To give a simple example, the finger of death cast by an ordinary mage will most likely not cause instant death to a legendary mage, and will be exempted from most of the damage.
The second one has an extremely amazing physique and uses his extremely powerful physique to forcefully resist the instant death effect of the Finger of Death.
Although Russell is not sure what level Loki's magic level is.
However, judging from the magic that Loki has cast in the past few times, Loki's magic level is not much higher than his.
In addition, Russell was also curious as to whether his Kryptonian physique could forcibly exempt him from the instant death effect of the Finger of Death.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.
If it were elsewhere, Russell would not dare to gamble with his life on this probability.
But considering Loki's magic level and his Kryptonian physique.
More importantly, considering that he is in Asgard now.
Based on the above points, he felt that using a Kryptonian physique to resist Loki's finger of death was not a particularly suicidal act.
Even if an unexpected situation occurs, with Odin, the father of the gods, around, he doesn't have to worry too much about his life and safety.
Apart from anything else, it is absolutely impossible for Odin to watch the guests he invited die inexplicably in Asgard, and he died at the hands of his "son".
Odin cannot afford to lose this face!
Of course, in addition to betting that Odin could not afford to lose face, and that his Kryptonian physique was enough to avoid the instant death effect of the Finger of Death, Russell also added an insurance policy for himself.
Without anyone noticing, he quietly took out the space gem from the system space and held it in the palm of his left hand.
