Chapter 96: Barrier Master
“Ah!” Both Yuehai and Tyr’s faces changed simultaneously on the field, sweat dripping from their foreheads. Sensing something amiss, Claude couldn’t help but look at Yuehai, asking with great concern.
“What’s wrong? Did you suffer some internal injury during the previous match?”
“No, it’s not that. I just feel a bit dizzy. Could you accompany me to the lounge first?”
“Ah, okay, sure. Anyway, our scores aren’t likely to drop out of the top ten, so there shouldn’t be any problem with resting now.”
“Yeah, let’s go.” Yuehai, supporting his forehead with one hand, walked out of the VIP box with Claude’s arm around his shoulder. Meanwhile, in the distance, Xuelian emitted a terrifying aura, causing everyone around to flee except for Ufas, who had already left long ago.
“I’m so envious, so envious, so envious!!”
“Your Highness…”
“I hate, I really, I hate it!”
“I think…”
“I’ll kill you, kill you, kill you!!”
“Let’s just forget I said anything. Your Highness, you can go crazy slowly.” Ufas slapped his forehead fiercely. If it weren’t for his physique being as strong as a sealed emperor, just the force of that slap could have killed someone! It’s imaginable how heavy his mood is right now.
Tyr breathed a sigh of relief on the field. It’s a good thing he managed to send Claude away with a delaying tactic. Otherwise, if he had continued to observe, he might have been recognized.
“I suppose you two are already very familiar with the rules. You only have sixty seconds. What you can achieve in these sixty seconds depends entirely on yourselves! So, get ready to begin.”
Tyr pulled his main focus back here, and his gaze once again met with Jinlisi. She held a small magic wand in her hand, which could be likened to delicate chopsticks, but the intense elemental power emanating from it made Tyr abandon any playful thoughts.
The staff put the “Heavenly Bound Hands” on Tyr and adjusted his strength to the upper level of “Qi Harmony.” Suddenly, they hesitated, giving Tyr a strange look. Tyr responded with a smile and shrugged. To him, this thing was just a pair of gloves. Ignoring the staff, they finished their task and left the stage. Tyr redirected his gaze back to the opponent’s chest… body.
Although he hadn’t looked at her directly before, reaching this stage and having the talent of a Level Three Mage at her age, her strength was undoubtedly high. If everything went smoothly, she should have awakened her unique magic. Tyr was full of confidence, but the instability of unique magic was too high. It lowered Tyr’s chances of winning from one hundred percent to fifty percent. He could only hope that she was like the opponent Claude encountered, with defensive-type unique magic.
“It seems you two are ready. Then listen to my command, prepare…”
Charles glanced left and right, then slowly stepped back from the stage. His voice gradually rose as he said.
“Begin!”
Tyr never thought that what other warriors did was wrong. Striking first is necessary when facing off against magicians. If one doesn’t take the initiative, the opponent’s second-level magic will cause a lot of trouble for someone in a superior position like Tyr. Delaying would only give the opponent the opportunity to chant their most powerful spell, resulting in an overwhelming situation. Even someone as strong as Tyr wouldn’t dare to take a detour.
Divine-level body technique, Thousand-fold Body Technique! First fold!
At this moment, Tyr transformed into a ghostly figure, swiftly approaching amidst the astonished gaze of Jinlisi. With his longsword in his right hand, the next moment would be a fatal strike!
However, the opponent suddenly restrained their expression. Their initially surprised gaze seemed almost contrived as they swiftly wielded their magic staff. This level of speed couldn’t possibly be achieved by a novice girl. It was evident that countless days and nights of practice had allowed her to calmly wield her staff in such a rapid duel!
“Condense the barrier.”
As soon as the opponent’s words fell, Tyr’s pupils suddenly contracted, and the surrounding air became thick, causing his movement speed to plummet. Originally, relying on the advantage of his body technique, he could have aimed his sword at her body the next second. However, now he had to add just a bit more, and that slight delay was fatally extended!
The next second, Jinlisi took a step back, simultaneously waving her magic staff. Tyr couldn’t strike her in that instant, and Jinlisi had already resumed her action.
“Thunder realm.”
Human speed can never surpass that of lightning. If Tyr insists on swinging his sword at this moment, the sudden lightning will cause fatal damage to Tyr, who is at a lower level of [Qi Harmony].
Retreat! It can only be this way. In this round of confrontation, although Tyr exerted full effort, he didn’t employ all his means. The main purpose was to probe what tricks the opponent had up her sleeve.
“Barrier Mage.” Among mages, this profession is the most troublesome and also the rarest besides the seers. Tyr didn’t expect that the girl in front of him would be such a terrifying profession. Moreover… Tyr narrowed his eyes. He remembered that a Barrier Mage required a medium to instantly cast a barrier. It was simply impossible for someone like Jinlisi to consecutively cast two barriers in just over a second.
The only explanation for this situation is, undoubtedly, unique magic!
