C209 However It Was Useless
In fact, even Max Ensco himself couldn't catch a glimpse of Riko Hasegawa, who could teleport through the battlefield with his naked eye. When a person walked on the path of a mage for a hundred years, the feeling of magic naturally replaced his eyes. It would become the most important channel for this person to perceive the world.
Because, whether it was vision, hearing, touch or taste... There are countless types of illusions that can be deceived, only magic is eternal... Unchanging, trustworthy. A person who could perfectly sense the changes in magic power was equivalent to having a pair of eyes that could see through all fog and illusions.
Thus, he could clearly see that his opponent didn't seem to be under any pressure at all, as if he was taking a stroll in the park.
Although, in a battle between a mage at the Titled Devil Instructor level, even if it was a duel, both sides would generally hold back.
For example, during normal sparring, the Runic Shield on one side would stop after it was broken.
This kind of situation where they met on the battlefield was probably between a duel and a spar... Their attacks would be heavier, but it would not be to the point where they would fight to the death. As long as one side admitted defeat and withdrew from the battlefield, they would no longer interfere. It could be said to be a victory.
This was because the magician had a nationality, but the truth did not.
And Titled Devil Instructor happened to be the group of people who stood at the forefront of humanity's pursuit of the truth. To a certain extent, they had already become an existence that was not restricted and had a high status.
Or in another way, on Earth, there were only around 60 Titled Devil Instructor who could still move. In this small circle, everyone basically knew each other. In a peaceful era, they gathered for a meal. It was common to exchange research results and new ideas. If he hammered the other party until he was paralyzed in war, then the next time they met would be very awkward...
This was also why Edinburgh invited Roentgen to the basement of his Mage Tower. It was impossible for him to return to Westfalen to serve the king for the time being. But every day, he still ate and drank well. He could also do small magic experiments.
But wasn't this going too far?
He was not very enthusiastic about chanting spells. He would occasionally use one or two offensive spells to counterattack.
It looked as if he didn't want to fight with his side at all.
But even so, he still couldn't win.
No matter how ingenious the deceptive spells were, in the end, the opponent could easily block or avoid them.
This was the most infuriating...
"That... Grandpa..." Riko nimbly used a Flame Flash to avoid the magic and silently appeared on the other side of the battlefield, "Realization or something... Clearly, it was you who initiated the war first?"
... ""
Max did not reply, but his companion, Boer Zman, interrupted him while he was casting the spell.
"Whether it is the Bohemia or the Pomerania, they are both part of the empire that was split up. We took back that place just so that it could once again become the land under the glorious rule of the King of Westfaulen. If you hateful imperialist powerhouses did not interfere, the matter could have been settled peacefully in the past! "
Riko bit her lips. Whether it was in the original world or on this Earth, she did not know much about the political environment between countries. In fact, she did not really understand what exactly happened.
Guarding independence, core territory, accepting culture, and so on. These difficult words, the silver-haired girl tried to understand and then failed.
Just from her own perspective, what she saw was the fact that Aldran was invaded by Westfalen without doing anything.
Max Ensco saw Riko Hasegawa standing where she was, as if in a daze. The sudden thought flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.
... Opportunity!
He raised the wand and opened his mouth to chant a cold Rank 8 Space Magic shattering spear incantation.
The silver-haired girl waved her hand as expected. A wall of fire suddenly rose from underneath Max's feet, forcing him to stop chanting and switch to a defensive spell.
Sage Analysis immediately activated his Runic Shield. The wall of fire collided with it, causing an unstable ripple to appear on the surface of the shield that was emitting golden light.
Riko blinked and waved her hand to construct a spatial defensive force field.
Max clearly saw what happened. Therefore, he revealed a smile as if his plan had worked.
He had been tricked!
There was a chance this time!
The chanting of the runes suddenly changed its pitch. Through the ineffective effect on some of the runes in the incantation, he forcefully separated a spatial chain incantation from the incantation of the Spear of Shattered Ice.
An invisible restriction suddenly fell, and with Riko Hasegawa as the center, the speed of the flow of elements in a small area with a radius of five meters was reduced to the point where most of the displacement spells were ineffective.
So, now...
"Quick! Attack!"
With a shout, the gem at the top of the Sage Scepter once again lit up with a faint light that symbolized the recharging of magic power. It turned countless Seventh Rank and Rank 8 magic into a torrent of elements. In the midst of the six powerful Titled Devil Instructor chanting in unison, cold frost and scorching flames... The divine light and the mysterious shadow clashed together, creating the most dazzling radiance. They set off another violent magic storm in the restless sky. The boiling elements seemed to be heated in a large crucible until they were close to boiling herbs, displaying all kinds of characteristics that only appeared in extreme circumstances. The spells that missed exploded in the sky like fireworks.
Max had already thrown out every trump card that he had accumulated over the years. Ever since ten thousand years ago, the laws of magic that the pioneers had accumulated from scratch, as well as the crystallisation of truth that had been created by intelligent people in the long river of human magic civilization. Under his and his five companions' rapid chanting, they bloomed with the most brilliant radiance.
This was definitely the best time he had been in his best condition ever since he had reached this level of strength. It was even better than the time when he went to the holy land of mages, Rome, to carry out the assessment of Ninth Rank Level 8. Under the pressure of a powerful opponent, Max Ensco felt that he had almost displayed 110% of his strength.
"This should be enough..."
After crazily pouring out about a third of his magic power in a short period of time, Max stopped and took a deep breath. While recovering his magic power, he raised his head and observed his opponent's current condition.
He found the silver-haired girl who walked out of the magic flood that could theoretically raze a town to the ground unharmed.
"That..."
Riko had a smile that could tell that she was sorry.
"Even if you have realized it, you are indeed very weak..."
