Lightning struck through the air and trees, the smell of burning filling the air. In that moment, the world seemed to fall silent.
Quaiesse and the gray-robed mage, who had been facing off, all warily looked at Minori, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Fifth-tier magic… this kid?" The gray-robed mage widened his light brown eyes.
Being able to use fifth-tier magic undoubtedly meant that the other party had stepped into the hero domain, but how was that possible!
The terrifying magical fluctuations in the air had not completely dissipated, seeming to tell him that everything that had just happened was not fake.
The problem was!
What this kid had shown at the beginning was clearly faith-based magic, and even the fourth-tier Surveillance Archangel was summoned.
Fourth-tier faith-based magic? Fifth-tier attribute-based magic?
Mastering two such high-level spellcasting abilities meant that this black-haired kid in front of him had definitely surpassed the "hero domain" and stepped into the level of "aberrant."
"This is impossible!"
The gray-robed mage roared almost hysterically, subconsciously taking a step back.
Throughout all the human countries, the number of people who had openly reached the "aberrant" level could be counted on one hand. Perhaps there were hidden existences of this level in secret, but it could definitely not be this young, overly young black-haired kid in front of him.
Compared to the shocked gray-robed mage,
Quaiesse calmed down immediately, quickly having the aquamarine lizard stand in front of him, his crimson pupils flashing with surprise and doubt.
The reason he was able to calm down so quickly was because he had seen truly powerful existences that could not be described with words.
That was the suffocating aura and pressure that could be felt just by being stared at!
People from another world could not accurately judge their own or others' specific levels like players could; they could only make certain judgments based on overall strength.
At least!
The two high-level spellcasting systems that Minori had demonstrated were completely abnormal.
Suddenly.
Quaiesse noticed the magic circle behind Minori, which had been dyed red by blood, corroding the ground in the scorched forest that had been destroyed by lightning.
In the current environment, the traces of extensive blood erosion were quite obvious.
So that's it!
"It's a magic ritual."
Quaiesse's expression returned to calm, and he smiled faintly, regaining his usual composure.
He didn't even bother to pay attention to the four-tailed black panther that had died and turned to charcoal, or even glance at it.
His calm words entered the ears of the gray-robed mage not far away, causing him to freeze. He quickly noticed the scarlet and bloody magic circle.
"This kid actually has such methods." The gray-robed mage felt a sense of relief. Although he was still a little surprised, he was no longer as nervous as he had been at the beginning.
If it was a magic ritual, then that explained it!
Fluder Paradyne, the "Guardian God" of the Baharuth Empire, was a legendary powerhouse and existence among humans, known as the "Triple Magic Caster."
He could not only use sixth-tier magic-based magic but also third-tier faith-based magic.
He had lived for nearly 300 years since the founding of the Baharuth Empire because he had mastered sixth-tier mind-based magic!
Logically speaking, this was obviously impossible, but Fluder Paradyne had done it. He had done it because he had mastered magic rituals and mysterious forbidden techniques.
The gray-robed mage had also heard that some special professions had common characteristics between different systems.
Crack!
A black, charred branch was stepped on.
"You know, I don't want to fight guys like you at all, not because you are strong, but because of the existence of resurrection magic."
"It's really too troublesome to completely kill you." Minori's cold voice rang out in the silent forest at this moment.
Looking at the two people who had just been a little surprised and had regained their calm.
Minori didn't know what the two people were thinking just now, but he could roughly guess some of it.
The "Magic Ascension" magic ritual required the use of magic-containing materials to arrange.
He used conspicuous materials such as ogre blood, not only because he really didn't have any good magic materials on him, but also because he had intentional components!
There were too many magic and skills in the "YGGDRASIL" game, and Minori's own understanding was very limited.
Not to mention that people from another world would develop or even modify magic themselves. Minori couldn't be sure whether there was a risk of leaking information even if he killed these two people in front of him.
Quaiesse was a member of [Black Scripture]. It was completely unknown whether he was carrying items from the "Six Gods".
Although the possibility that the Theocracy would recover player items and not allow them to carry them when [Black Scripture] members were not on missions was higher, he had to consider these factors!
"I take back what I said just now. You are not a small character."
Quaiesse's peaceful voice came from behind the aquamarine lizard: "You were not injured by the attack because of the defense of magic items?"
"I can represent the Theocracy's Earth God Chief Priest to extend an invitation to you, and I can even make compensation specifically for this matter."
"I refuse."
Minori raised his head and said coldly, "Using your life to exchange for Kuro's life is the fairest compensation."
"It was expected that it would be impossible to reason with you."
Quaiesse's crimson eyes turned cold. Comparing his life to that of a useless kuro was simply an insult to him: "I'm very interested in the magic ritual you used. Don't worry, I'll leave you a breath."
What if he could use fifth-tier magic?
The hero domain was only a threshold for the mysterious team he was in.
Almost at the instant Quaiesse's voice fell!
From the shadow of a large tree not far behind Minori, a brand new four-tailed black panther, which had been hiding in the shadows, darted out silently and pounced towards Minori's back.
"Silver Knight Lance."
Minori didn't even turn his head. A silver knight's lance condensed in mid-air, instantly piercing through the head of the four-tailed black panther.
He didn't have detection magic on him, but he had the martial skill"Precognition", which allowed him to observe and sense attacks outside of his field of vision.
"Lightning Ball!"
At the same time as Minori and Quaiesse briefly exchanged blows, a dazzling ball of lightning boomed towards Quaiesse.
Boom!"Roar."
The aquamarine lizard let out a roar, immediately flicking its tail to strike the lightning ball. The two came into contact and exploded in mid-air with a deafening roar.
"How about the two of us join forces, kid? The other party is good at summoning monsters and controlling different monsters to conduct group battles."
The gray-robed mage showed a sinister smile on his face and said to Minori, "It's very troublesome to kill him."
"Don't you want that magic cauldron from the lizardman? I have this item in my hand as an exchange?"
His proposal was beneficial to both parties, and he didn't think Minori would refuse.
However.
Bang! Bang!
As two dazzling rays of light flashed.
Two Peace Archangels appeared in the arena, flapping their wings and pouncing towards Queynese.
Minori then turned around and looked at the gray-robed mage: "I think it's the best choice to solve all of you in one breath."
"You stupid…" The gray-robed mage's expression froze, and he couldn't help but curse, but in the next moment, he quickly released magic:
"Magic Shield!"
"Flame Knight Lance!"
Minori said coldly, and a knight's lance condensed from flames instantly appeared and blasted towards the gray-robed mage.
Boom!
The Flame Knight Lance collided with the magic shield, causing a huge explosion. The powerful impact caused the gray-robed mage to retreat in embarrassment.
"You…" The gray-robed mage was a little exasperated. Just as he was about to release an attack magic, a rapid sound of piercing through the air sounded closely behind him.
"Storm Knight Lance!"
A semi-transparent lance condensed from a violent wind blasted over, its speed obviously faster than the "Flame Knight Lance".
Faced with this situation.
The gray-robed mage didn't have time to dodge and could only continue to use the fastest chanting speed to defend:
"Magic Shield!"
Bang!
The Storm Knight Lance collided with the magic shield, making a series of intense and ear-piercing friction hissing sounds.
The gray-robed mage felt the Storm Knight Lance, which obviously had the ability to continuously destroy, and his face changed.
He quickly continued to inject magic power into the magic shield to barely resist the continuous destruction of the Storm Knight Lance!
"Torrent Knight Lance."
Another chanting sound rang out.
The gray-robed mage's face changed completely. He was now injecting magic power into the "Magic Shield" and could no longer continue to release magic.
Boom——
The aquamarine streamer flashed across the air.
The magic shield shattered!
The gray-robed mage spat out blood and looked at the "Torrent Knight Lance" that had blasted on his body with a look of horror.
The gray magic robe shook, and an invisible magic barrier immediately unfolded from the robe, blocking the Torrent Knight Lance.
"What exactly is this!" The gray-robed mage staggered back a few steps with blood on the corner of his mouth, his face full of astonishment.
"Is the water-based attack weaker?" A faint voice rang out from the opposite side.
The one who spoke was naturally Minori.
Through the [Mad Mage]'s passive"Element Conversion", attribute magic can be converted into four main attributes: wind, fire, water, and earth.
"Silver Knight Lance" belongs to silver-attribute attack magic.
Minori remembered that among the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes" in the Abelion Hills area, there was a Magic Queen who developed three types of knight lance magic with the attributes of thunder, ice, and flame through the "Silver Knight Lance" magic, which were called "Ice Flame Lightning" by other demi-humans.
He can now convert four attributes, should it be called "Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth"?
A flash of evil interest flashed through Minori's mind.
This passive can only convert elemental magic. He secretly tested the summoned angels just now and found that it could not work on them.
Thinking about it carefully, it's normal.
The key to the summoned angels lies in the "angels" themselves. As for the divine attributes possessed by the angels, it is only an additional ability.
However, this passive should be able to be used on elemental summoning magic. He happens to master the magic of summoning "Mixed Wetland Elementals".
Next is——
A brief thought flashed through his mind. Looking at the gray-robed mage who was beaten into a daze on the opposite side, Minori's eyes were cold, and he whispered again: "Earth Knight Lance!"
Whoosh!
A knight's lance completely condensed with rock appeared, setting off a wave of air and blasting towards the gray-robed mage.
"Damn it!"
"Silver Knight Lance!" Seeing Minori, who did not give him any time to breathe, the gray-robed mage was sweating coldly on his forehead and quickly released the most powerful attack magic in his hand.
What he is good at dealing with is summoning magic!
Whether it was Quaiesse, who had the [Beast Summoner] profession, or Minori, who had initially shown the ability to summon angels, he had the confidence to defeat them.
But Minori's sudden change of fighting style and powerful magic-based attack methods directly put him at a disadvantage.
Boom!
The Earth Knight Lance and the Silver Knight Lance collided heavily, causing a powerful shock wave that spread in all directions.
The surrounding dense trees were broken by the shock wave, and a large number of fallen leaves fluttered.
The two knight lance, which both belonged to the fourth-tier magic, seemed to have similar power. After the powerful collision, the Silver Knight Lance began to dissipate.
The Earth Knight Lance was covered with dense cracks, and then it collapsed, turning into a large number of small gravels and blasting towards the gray-robed mage.
The sudden scene!
Made the gray-robed mage a little too late to respond. Fortunately, the magic robe with defensive ability on his body blocked it again.
"Storm Knight Lance!" Minori's faint voice then rang out.
Whoosh!
The semi-transparent shadow of the spear was hidden in the air, and in the instant the gray-robed mage could not react, it pierced through his chest.
"Puff!" The gray-robed mage coughed up blood, his eyes widened.
Bang——
As dust splashed, he fell backward to the ground, his hooked nose face full of disbelief and a hint of blankness.
He lost too quickly!
He obviously still had many magic spells that he had not cast, but in the face of this pure attack magic bombardment…
"Why are there so many types of knight lance magic…" The gray-robed mage did not have any fear of death, only a face full of unwillingness.
Step!
The sound of footsteps rang out.
Minori came to the gray-robed mage, whose chest was broken with a big hole and whose breath was weak, took out a bottle of alchemy potion, and poured it directly on the other's chest.
Immediately afterwards!
Minori kicked heavily on the gray-robed mage's neck, knocking him unconscious.
"Solve one."
Looking at the unconscious gray-robed mage, Minori retracted his gaze.
He naturally would not let the gray-robed mage die directly, because he had to guard against the possibility of the other party being resurrected directly by resurrection magic.
[Orb of Death: 280→120/280]
He released five fourth-tier knight lance magic with relatively high attack intensity in one breath to defeat the gray-robed mage.
The other party did not lose unjustly!
Minori did not intend to release magic slowly with the other party. He needed to quickly solve the other party and focus his energy on another opponent.
If it were not for the problem of magic consumption and in order to observe the changes in the power of the magic itself after element conversion.
He was even planning to release the fifth-tier"Dragon Lightning".
Next—
Minori turned around, his left hand, hidden in the loose sleeves of his robe, gripped the "Pearl of Death," and looked at Quaiesse, who was being held back by two Angels of Tranquility.
No!
He wasn't being held back at all.
Quaiesse summoned another large, azure lizard, and while having the two azure lizards entangle with the Angels of Tranquility, he observed the other battlefield.
The key to fighting a magic caster is "mana!"
Since Minori chose to fight another magic caster, he naturally didn't plan to interfere. Regardless of the outcome, it would only benefit him.
However.
Quaiesse never expected the battle to end so quickly.
To be precise, when Quaiesse saw Minori release the third elemental Knight's Lance magic attack, he already realized that the gray-robed mage was doomed to lose.
The opponent's various bizarre methods were useless against this kind of pure magic bombardment!
Quaiesse also realized why Minori had taken the initiative to attack the gray-robed mage first, because he wanted to quickly end the battle so he could focus his energy on dealing with him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Angels of Tranquility suddenly vibrated their wings and began to retreat, returning to Minori, who had already appeared in front of him.
The two large, azure lizards also made retreating movements, guarding Quaiesse on his left and right.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
A smile appeared on Quaiesse's gentle and composed face as he raised his hands and applauded, "Truly a wonderful battle."
"Storm Knight's Lance!"
Minori didn't waste any words and directly bombarded him with a magic spell.
Quaiesse raised his left hand, and the magic ring on his thumb flashed, "This level of magic attack is useless against me."
"Attack Deviation."
Boom!
The extremely fast Storm Knight's Lance suddenly deviated from its attack direction in mid-air, passing over Quaiesse's head and crashing into the jungle behind him, creating a loud noise.
Minori frowned, only then noticing that the other party's left hand was covered in rings, which were clearly magic items.
Truly troublesome!
"How much mana do you have left for you to waste now?"
"It seems you are going to die here today."
After Quaiesse easily diverted the magic that Minori had used to defeat the gray-robed mage, the gentle smile on his face became even brighter.
"No."
Minori raised his head, staring at Quaiesse, "I think you're the one who's going to die here!"
