Chapter 44: Can't Lose
Lynn tapped the seat armrest with his fingertips, but his eyes never left the video in front of him.
The battle in the video is not fierce, or even a little weird.
After the two of them gave their salutes, Wilmot's opponent took the lead in attacking.
Wilmott's opponent is named Eddie Butler. If it is only about combat effectiveness, it is considered the top level in the second grade.
The reason is that the magic he masters is the extremely destructive fire element magic.
Among magicians, Fire Elemental Magic is one of the few types of magic that have great combat power from low to high levels - compared to small water balls that can only be used to wash hands and faces, or lighting techniques that can only be used to find coins that fall into the bed, Fire Elemental Magic is indeed much stronger.
Of course, since the Butler player is considered to be the top combat power in the second grade, the magic he masters will naturally not be as low-level magic as the Little Fireball.
[Sky-Splitting Demon Flame], gold-level, can summon a flame meteor, fall from the sky, and the power when it bursts is enough to dye the landing point into a sea of fire.
If it is in an open space, the impact of this skill may not be that great, but the freshman competition is a ring match. Butler's large-scale AOE magic should have an infinite advantage.
However, Butler lost.
During the battle between the two, Wilmot always wandered around the ring in a playful manner, his lips stammering, as if he was talking about something.
And his opponent seemed to be because Wilmott's words and illusions were interfered with, and every magic release was completely inaccurate. He either put it on the barrier or was far away from his real opponent, and even ashes could not blow Wilmott.
If Butler hadn't fooled Wilmot at the last moment when he pretended to be powerless and refused to fall, he accidentally got a shot of the [Sky-Splitting Magic Flame] released with Butler himself as the coordinates, then Wilmot would win the game with an extremely relaxed attitude.
"Card--"
The video freezes at the moment when Wilmott Station was hit by flames and flew backwards.
The moment he flew out, the flames ignited his clothes, and it was at this moment that Lynn saw the faint mark on Wilmott's left chest through the burnt clothes.
There are not many places where the mark is exposed, but you can still vaguely see the mark like rose petals and a small circle connected by something.
In an instant, a mark that had been depicted in his mind many times gradually overlapped with the mark on the picture.
And, almost perfect fit.
"This person is... no, I can only say that it is very likely that he is the Rose Society."
Lin Neng's eyes slowly became solemn.
Although he was distracted by the freshman competition, he never forgot that Rose Jealousy society threatened him and his family.
If the mark on Wilmot really belongs to the mark of Rose Society, no wonder he would say that he was interested in himself.
He always carries that stone with the "goddess" hidden!
Because he is a believer of the God of Color/Evil, he will be attracted by the stones containing the aura of the God of Color/Evil, so he will be interested in himself.
Taking a deep breath, Lin En breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down.
The above are just his own guesses.
After all, there is only a little mark recorded on the video. He also compared it with association. There may be errors, which are not completely certain.
What if it was just a tattoo that looked like a rose? What if the reason why people were interested in themselves was really just curious about seeing similar magicians?
Before witnessing it with your own eyes, Lynn could not make arbitrary conclusions.
Touching the handrail gently, a decision appeared in Lin En's heart in a flash.
"I can't lose until I meet Wilmot."
He wants to personally uncover the answer to whether the mystery was as he thought.
.........
"The second round of the game, the third arena, first grade Lynn Blaze, against third grade Scott Pole!"
"The competition begins!"
Scott Pole looked at the calm opponent in front of him and squeezed the staff in his hand hard. The force was so strong that even his knuckles were slightly white.
During the break in the venue, because Lynn's methods were too weird and he was a newborn again, it inevitably caused discussions among the crowd.
"You guys say, if we meet that kid, what method should we use to avoid, or break his magic."
"Just just stop talking to him. Isn't this the case for illusionists? They use language to induce illusions to build illusions, causing people to fall into illusions inadvertently."
"It's easy to say. Look at Wilmot, everyone knows what his means are, but who can really break his magic?"
"You said too, that's Wilmott. That kid is just a freshman. Can he compare with Wilmott?"
"That's right, he is just a newborn who has only been in the sea of imaginary numbers for more than a month. No matter how strong his mastery of magic is, he is not much stronger."
"There is another point. Since he is a newborn, his magic power will never be able to maintain this magic for a long time. After meeting him, just remember it in your heart, don't walk around, don't move, and consume his magic power until he runs out. Wait until the referee declares the result, won't he win?"
"I think what you think may be a bit too complicated."
"No matter how difficult it is to solve the problem of the illusionist, he has no aggressive means after all. We just need to throw magic at the place where we are without saying a word after we are on the court, wouldn't it be enough?"
"Isn't the best way to crack illusions? Isn't it the best way to solve illusions?"
“It seems………so.”
Taking a deep breath, Scott Boer decided to use the last, and the easiest and most direct way to solve the other party.
He raised his staff, mobilized magic power, chanted spells, and built magic circles.
Just as his magic array lit up, fog suddenly rose in the ring, and the temperature dropped sharply.
【Frozen】
“……”
In Lin Neng's vision, the water elements in the air were collected in an instant and were forcibly condensed into ice flowers by special magic. Almost the moment he tried to retreat, his body was completely blocked by several sudden ice walls. In just a moment, he would be completely blocked in this area.
At that time, he will gradually lose the ability to move due to the ever-decreasing temperature, and eventually lose all resistance, resulting in failure.
How to break the deadlock at this time?
If it is a powerful destructive magic, it can forcefully break through the blockade and break out, but unfortunately, Lynn did not master that kind of magic. It is almost impossible to cut such a thick wall with the sword blade in his hand.
"We are in the third grade, no matter what, we have practiced for a few more years than your freshmen."
Seeing that the Ice Closure was about to be completed, Scott's face became much more relaxed: "You can defeat the second graders. First, they did not value you too much and regarded you as a stepping stone that could be easily stepped on. Second, it is indeed good for you to use as a hidden means. But when your trick is exposed, facing the crushing of absolute strength, you will never be able to use the same trick again."
"You, give up..."
"Kacha——"
A piece of broken ice was cut off by a long sword and fell to the ground.
Scott subconsciously wanted to look up at the situation, but after remembering that the other party might be an illusionist, he immediately forced himself to suppress his movements, turned down to look at the falling ice, and was preparing to continue to activate magic power to accelerate the formation of ice.
However, when he turned his eyes to the ice, he saw an unexpected scene.
In the sun, the ice cubes made of magic reflect slightly, and a tilted face suddenly reflects on its mirror-like surface.
The first-year student was staring at himself through the specular reflection formed by the ice.
He had a slight smile on his face, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and as clean as a piece of white paper.
Scott didn't care what his opponent was laughing at, because when he met his deep black eyes, Scott suddenly felt that he seemed to...see himself.
And, his father.
