Chapter 516: Face to face

The first appearance was Chateau’s acquaintance-Arcanist Stuart from Morien’s Tower. He not only participated in the [Arcane Puzzle Game], but even participated in the [Spell Showdown].
When training Stuart and the others on chess routines, Xia Duo knew that seven of the ten arcanists from the Seven Towers had also participated in the [Spell Showdown].
Not all arcanists are willing to participate in arcane competitions, although there are rewards for losing, but the pressure is also very high, and there is a very important reason, that is-
During the game, show your own strategy and spell details in front of others.
This is unacceptable to many people. After all, no one knows whether an enemy will use these to deal with themselves. Only a spellcaster with someone behind dares to be so bold.
According to Chateau’s knowledge, the ten arcanists participating in the [Spell Showdown] were all from the Seven Towers, and even in an indirect match such as [Arcane Fanbing], there were only three non-Seven-Tower Arcanists.
The seven-tower arcanists are not necessarily stronger than the arcanists in other places. There are only three non-seven-tower arcanists. Is it just because the snowmelt competition has just opened for non-seven-tower arcanists this year?
Conservation is everywhere, and of course, danger is everywhere.
Xia Duo quietly watched Stuart pick a Yerlan Elf, and then both sides walked onto the battle platform in the center of the arena at the same time, and a magical scene happened—
When they fully set foot on the battlefield, it was as if they had entered another world. The entire body began to gradually become smaller, giving the impression that it was becoming smaller, but at the same time the relevant details were not lost.
You can still see the whole picture of them, even clearer than when they were outside the battlefield.
At this moment, the host El Carmon took the initiative to explain:
"On the battle platform is a small demiplane that overlaps with the main plane. The actual distance between the two opposing players is more than two hundred meters! But for our convenience, the Great Arcanist has done something on this small demiplane. Small adjustments."
Stuart had long been told about the half-plane when he stepped onto the battlefield, and his opponent, an elf mage, also received relevant information before today.
This does not need to be concealed, and there is no need to conceal it, Siyat is confident to defeat the opponent.
He heard El Carmon's "preparation" and a strange flicker appeared in the half plane at the same time, Stuart knew that the game had started.
He didn't rush to impose various protection spells on himself, whether it was used to resist the absorption of damage, the real protection spells, or used to offset the "discharge magic" charge spells.
After that, he blessed himself with anti-interference, anti-detection, and enhanced perception spells. After everything was prepared, he raised his hand and compared it with a gesture.
Although the demiplane he is currently in overlaps with the main plane, he can see the inside from the outside, but he cannot see the outside from the inside. The preparation time is limited, but as long as both sides are ready, he can officially start. .
Outside, in the arena.
Stuart raised his hand to indicate that everyone was watching, and not only their physical movements, but all the spells in the just preparation stage were displayed in front of everyone.
Perhaps the demiplane on the battle stage was specially set, even if it was far away, Xia Duo could still see all the details of the opponent's spells from the audience.
Of course, only up to the fifth layer of the magic net, the deeper details are not visible.
But even so, Xia Duo has gained a lot. At least he knows the state of other arcanists when casting spells; what are the rules for dismantling element units of a spell; and some unfamiliar spells that are understood or not understood. .
However, the half-position facing the battle space still made Xia Duo a little uncomfortable, although he could see all the details, but at the same time, he did see that their figure became smaller.
This contradiction in the perception of spatial information is simply dizzying.
Soon, with El Carmon's "Start", the game officially began, and Chateau no longer focused on the sense of difference on the surface, but went deep into the essence of the spell
Go in the change of the magic net!
Whether it is the reconstruction of the magic net in the arena or the special setting of the demiplane, Xia Duo greedily learns from the experience of the two spellcasters in the battle on the operation of the magic net.
In addition to experience and knowledge, the concept of battle also made Xia Duo feel very happy!
Similar to Chateau’s philosophy, the main goals of the two opponents are to remove the opponent’s protection spells and restrict the opponent’s actions. Of course, this is on the offensive level, as well as on the defensive level.
As for the directly harmful spells, they have never been seen to cast them.
Xia Duo always believes that the essence of the caster's battle is not one by one harmful spells. As long as the opponent's protection spells are removed and the opponent's mobility is restricted, even a very ordinary dagger is enough to cause very serious damage. Fatal injury.
Unless you have a natural body of fine gold, you just have to push it gently on the weakest link. Any creature has weaknesses.
There is a saying in Xia Duoxiang called "attack the enemy's inadequacy". In fact, it is meant to specifically attack the enemy's weakness. Knowing that the opponent's body is covered with shields, he is still attacking desperately. This is not what it is.
Sunder the armor first and attack, isn't it easier?
In Xia Duo's eyes, ~EbookFREE.me~, the gorgeous fireball is far less practical than a seemingly inconspicuous dispelling or restricting spell.
...
Half face in the battle space.
Stuart looked at the vague and erratic figure of the opponent, and it was difficult to lock the spells, and he couldn't help being a little impatient. The Master of Nether knew the most about Master Yeerlan, and the snow melting competition had never been interrupted for hundreds of years.
Stuart has thoroughly studied the fighting style of Master Yerlan. He even participated in a snowmelt competition in his early years. He was fully prepared before this competition, but his previous experience is now implemented, which is far from his expectations. There is still a certain distance.
"You can't lose the first game!" Such a thought floated in Stuart's mind.
However, in the high-intensity spell confrontation, the result of a slight distraction was that he failed to counter the opponent's restricted spells, and his figure suddenly became a little heavy. When he looked at the opponent, his figure became more erratic, and even faintly disappeared.
This is not a good sign, Stuart knows it badly, but he can't get rid of it for a while. This is due to the changes in the surrounding magic web environment and does not directly affect him.
Now that the disadvantages are obvious, there is only one choice if you want to fight back
Unfolding part of the magic net string that is the root of the fire, replace the surrounding magic net to form a more beneficial field, if it is a real battle, Stuart will certainly not use this method.
Because the Austrian Fire is unfolding, although it is beneficial to oneself, it means that the enemy can also attack the Austrian Fire, perhaps only part of the loss of the string of the magic net, but it can even damage the root of the Austrian Fire in serious cases.
But now in the first matchup, how could Steyart lose? In order to win, he was willing to pay a certain price for it.
