Chapter 519 - Magic Alchemy
What was the advantage a mage had over a warrior?
There was no doubt that a mage had a variety of methods and spells that a warrior could not match. This was also the reason why mages continued to flourish.
Lei Luo knew this without a doubt. After replacing the gravity control spell that dominated the sacred physique with alchemy, Lei Luo had dealt a blow to the treasury.
At this moment, the long saber in the Treasury"s hand was trembling uncontrollably. The staff was about to fly towards Lei Luo, and it was useless to even open the magic shield.
Thinking of this, the Treasury didn"t think too much and ran towards Lei Luo, wanting to interrupt his magic before he completed his spell.
Actually, Lei Luo"s spell had already been completed. He just changed the style in his hand, and the bottom of the Treasury"s feet sank.
This was the effect of Lei Luo turning the materials of the arena into a swamp. As the body of the treasure house continued to fall, the saber in his hand had already flown to Lelo"s side and floated quietly like Lei Luo"s guard.
With the help of the Zen staff, the treasure house still managed to break free. Standing not far away from Lei Luo, he looked coldly at Lei Luo.
The long saber in his hand had already been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Lelo. He could no longer use the swordsmanship that he was so proud of.
Thinking of the importance of this compet.i.tion, a magic conductor appeared in his hand. Then, a burst of magic light spewed out, forming a magic long sword.
This was another magic conductor that the Nakajima family head had given him. It was originally used to deal with Miyamoto Musashi, but the current situation did not allow him to continue hiding.
They did not expect Lei Luo to know so many types of magic and to be so proficient in it. This changed their impression of mages being proficient in only one type of magic.
The Magic Light Sword in his hand turned, and a ray of magic light slashed towards Lei Luo. This was the ultimate skill of the treasure house, the Kasaya Slash. Combined with the magic power, it seemed to recreate the feeling of an ancient magic swordsman.
Lei Luo was not careless. What was left in the air was a fake body made of magic alchemy. He had indeed started to refine something new under the fake body.
The fake body was swept into two halves by magic power. Both the treasury and Moroes at the bottom heaved a sigh of relief. Lei Luo had given them too much of a scare. When they saw that Lei Luo was killed, they immediately relaxed.
However, when the Treasury saw that Lei Luo"s body was falling straight down but his long knife was still floating in the air, alarm bells rang in their hearts.
His body was entangled by many chains. When he was locked, he realized that it was already too late. The chains rubbed against the body of the Treasury.
The magic conductor on the body of the Treasury had already been pulled to where Lei Luo was. At this time, everyone realized that it was Lei Luo"s magic.
The Treasury knew that their defeat was already set. They no longer struggled and said with a bitter smile, "I admit defeat."
Lei Luo quickly moved his long saber to the side of the Treasury. It was only because he had refined it into a chain that he was able to subdue him so easily. One had to know that the long saber was a weapon of the Treasury. The Magic Shield would not be able to defend against it. Otherwise, if the Treasury wanted to take back their weapon, they would have to be blocked by the Magic Shield.
In addition, because of Lei Luo"s fake body, the Treasury let down their guard. Thus, Lei Luo"s victory was inevitable at that point.
Holding the magic conductor in his hand, Lei Luo was very satisfied. In the following matches, the Treasury would definitely still use the magic conductor. In order for Miyamoto Musashi and Linghua to advance smoothly, Lei Luo did not think of returning it to the Treasury. This was also his "spoils of war."
Everyone below the stage knew that Lei Luo was afraid that no one would be able to defeat him, so no one came to challenge him.
Lei Luo laughed as he jumped off the stage and said to Miyamoto Musashi with a smile, "Next, we"ll challenge the Treasury. I"ve already taken away his magic conductor and his long saber. You can"t possibly lose this, right?"
Miyamoto Musashi pursed his lips and walked towards the arena. He pointed at the youth under the shadow of the tree and said, "Come and fight with me."
"Beichen one-blade style, go up to Temple Ling Tai Shen."
The youth didn"t want to be outdone and walked onto the arena. The two of them ignored the referee"s voice and directly started fighting. The sound of sabers clashing made the audience on the stage cheer.
Compared to the battle between Lei Luo and the Treasury, the people of the northern borderline liked to watch such a pa.s.sionate battle. Lei Luo didn"t continue to watch their battle and sat on the spot with his eyes closed to regulate his breathing.
The two consecutive battles were not without a price. More than half of the magic power in his body had been consumed. If Moroes knew about his condition, he might still continue to challenge him.
However, his last magic spell made them helpless. They did not know how much magic power was in Lei Luo"s body, which gave Lei Luo a chance to recover.
...
In a building not far away, the general asked the shadow in the corner, "What kind of magic did James use? Why haven"t we seen it before?"
A respectful voice came from the shadow. "This might be the latest magic was developed outside. His specialty is changing matter and manipulating matter. It looks really exquisite."
The voice in the shadow paused and asked, "I haven"t seen his magic level until now. I only know that it might be between level five and six. What is he doing here?"
General Zili"s eyes were distant, as if he was thinking. He replied softly, "Who knows? Maybe he is the key to breaking the situation."
...
Fu Yun sat in the private room of the teahouse and bowed to the middle-aged man sitting opposite him:
"Father, the people sent by Ulysses have already entered the top three. Tomorrow is the time to carry out the plan.
The middle-aged man clapped his hands and laughed loudly. "Good, good, good. This way, we can fulfill the wishes of our royal family for many years."
"But, this will be another disaster for the people of the northern border."
The middle-aged man looked at Fu Yun with a fierce gaze and said, "This is what they all owe us. We are the masters of this land. They are just our servants. There is no need to pay attention to them."
"Let"s continue with the plan. Whether it"s the dukes or the devil world, no one can stop us from taking back our things," Fu Yun replied respectfully and lowered his head to welcome the middle-aged man out of the private room.
After waiting for the middle-aged man to leave, Fu Yun"s eyes were filled with confusion for the first time. He muttered, "Is all of this right?"
...
At the same time, the Master of the Nakajima family also roared at the Master of the Nakajima family. "If you don"t agree with our plan, do you think the general will let you go? Or do you think the demon world will let you go? Even if you don"t think for the sake of the Sakajima family, think for yourself."
As he roared, the table was overturned by the Master of the Nakajima family in front of the master of the Sakajima family. However, the master of the Sakajima family"s gaze remained unchanged as he calmly sipped his tea.
"Until the end, who knows who the winner is? The Sakajima family will only stand on the northern border"s side."
He knew that the Nakajima family head was starting to get anxious.. Due to Lei Luo"s performance, he was not completely confident that he could open the gate to the demon world ahead of time.
