[Beep. Damage has been detected on the body's surface. Damage has reached 43%. Urgent treatment is recommended …]
[Beep. Traces of blood elemental energy detected on the wound. Energy needs to be neutralised before emergency treatment …]
[Beep. Blood loss continues. Blood loss has reached 1%. Energy loss has reached 2%. Energy loss has reached 2%.]
[Beep. Host's Flame Barrier has been activated … High Temperature Domain has been activated … Burning Domain is being formed …]
[Beep. Host's energy strength is increasing … Force field has been distorted … Calculating the distortion rate …]
A series of A.I. Chip prompts flashed through Grimm's mind. He only skimmed through most of the data and did not do much to intervene. At the same time, he calmly waited for the A.I. Chip's calculation of the distortion in the force field around him.
For Tier 2 Sorcerers like them, the energy attacks they could inflict were between 200 to 300 degrees. For a rank 1 Magus, this was a terrifying height that they would never be able to reach.
Due to the elemental energy in their bodies being too strong, the combination of their spiritual force and magic power caused the force field around them to constantly distort.
In such an environment, any Magus' eyes or spiritual force would experience a slight deviation. The degree of deviation would also depend on the strength of the two Magi. If a Magus trusted his eyes too much and attacked according to what he saw, he would be shocked to find that his attacks would never match up with what he expected.
The target he wanted to attack would never be in the position he had set for himself.
This was the result of the distortion in the force field!
Under normal circumstances, the distortion in the force field would not be too excessive and would not affect a battle between high-ranked Magi. However, when two evenly matched Magi were fighting, this small change could be exploited by one side and become the key to turning the situation around.
At the start of the battle, before Grimm could unleash his strength, Leicester had already used his agility to launch a sneak attack. Even though this amount of damage wasn't considered serious for a Grade 2 Fire Wizard, it wasn't a good sign that he had lost 72% of his blood and 20% to 15% of his energy at the beginning of the battle.
Grimm stood in the air, his body completely enveloped by the elemental flames that were spewing out from his body. The violent and ferocious elemental flames were boiling … Grimm's body had turned almost white, almost transparent. He had completely turned into a terrifying flaming man.
The small wounds on the surface of his body quickly healed under the repair of the flame energy, but the blood he lost was difficult to recover in a short period of time.
Opposite of Grimm, a pair of gray, leathery bat wings extended from Lester's back. There were sharp spikes at the ends of the wings. Relying on this pair of bat wings, Leicester floated above the sea of fire. It stuck out its long, scarlet tongue and licked the boiling blood that remained between its fingers.
That's right, as Grimm's flame energy erupted, the blood that had been separated from his body became scalding hot and the temperature increased. When he licked it with his tongue, he felt as if he was licking boiling lava.
Even though the temperature of the blood had already reached 700 degrees, Leicester still squinted his eyes and licked it without hesitation. When the crimson blood was sucked into his body, Lester even raised his head and moaned in happiness and pain.
[Beep. Abnormal loss of energy detected … Initial estimation: 1% … 16% …]
The prompt from the A.I. Chip in Grimm's mind caused his expression to change.
The vampire in front of him could actually absorb the elemental energy in his body through the blood that had been separated from his body. This … Although it was unimaginable, it was not surprising when one considered the powerful bloodline of the vampires.
* Tong Tong Tong … *
Following a series of explosions, a large amount of flame energy gathered in front of Grimm, condensing into a flaming shield with countless flaming runes. The solidified flames intertwined with the swirling flames, quickly revolving around Grimm's body.
At the same time, two more massive and sturdy Lava Shields were rapidly forming around the Fire Shield. With lava as the base, flames as the binder, and flame runes swirling on both sides of the shield, the lava flowing on both sides of the shield and the flames lingering around it gave off a solemn and heavy feeling.
As the defensive fire spells took shape, Grimm was protected by layers and layers of dense shields. It was no longer easy for Leicester to get close to him.
Looking at Grimm who had completed his personal shield not far away, even with Leicester's arrogance, he could not help but feel his scalp go numb. Any of the shields around Grimm's body would not be able to withstand a single swipe from Leicester's sharp claws.
But there were so many of them … If Leicester's attack was blocked by these shields, it would give the Fire Wizard enough time to chant incantations and cast spells. Even with Leicester's strength, it would be difficult for him to withstand a violent attack from a Rank 2 Fire Wizard if he was entangled by the shields.
Even among the talented sorcerers, Elemental Sorcerers had always been known for their strong offense but weak defense. If they were allowed to unleash their full power, no sorcerer of the same rank could withstand their unbridled firepower.
Elemental Sorcerers were indeed strong in offense but weak in defense.
However, their weakness was relative.
For someone like Leicester, who was known for his speed and agility but weak in offense, it would be difficult for him to break Grimm's shields with his ghost-like movements and get close to Grimm. It would be much better if Leicester was a Physique Refinery Sorcerer with high elemental resistance.
Since both sides had shed all pretense of cordiality, there was nothing else to worry about.
Grimm, who was hovering in mid-air, instantly turned into a terrifying human-shaped self-propelled cannon. Streaks of powerful fire spells swept towards Leicester like a storm. Meanwhile, Lester flapped his huge bat wings and moved nimbly between the fire waves. From time to time, he would get close to Grimm's side and smash or scratch the fire shield around his body.
With Leicester's high agility and nimbleness, even if Grimm tried his best to lock on to his position, his fire spells would still miss most of the time. Even if Leicester managed to hit his target, he would use a special method to dodge away from the center of the explosion and only have to endure the shockwaves from the spells.
However, with the recoil of the fire shield and the burning effect of the Fire Barrier, Leicester could not attack without taking any damage. Every second that he swam around Grimm's body, he had to endure the burning of the omnipresent flames.
However, with the protection of the Blood Mist, he could easily endure the intense fire damage.
If Grimm, who was hovering in mid-air, was a rampaging machine gun, then Leicester would be a gray bat that wandered around the edge of the cannon's muzzle.
He made use of the gaps between Grimm's attacks and tried his best to break the dense fire shield around Grimm's body. However, at the same time, he had to be extra careful to avoid being burned by the violent flames if he could not dodge in time.
A lava ball of 220 degrees Celsius could not kill him.
However, once his body was frozen by the lava ball, it would not be easy for him to escape the next baptism of flames.
Leicester originally wanted to use his swift movements to attract Grimm's full firepower and wait for Grimm to consume more than half of his energy before launching a counterattack. However, when the two of them fought above the Rose Manor and turned the entire manor into a sea of fire, Leicester was surprised to find that Grimm's firepower was still as fierce as before. There was no sign of him running out of energy.
It was as if … Grimm was not worried about running out of energy at all!
Damn it, damn it, damn it …
This was a wizard who had completed elemental conversion of both his body and spirit!
He must have condensed the corresponding elemental core in his body.
Facing an elemental wizard who had a small energy pool, normal tactics would be useless. Unless Leicester could increase the intensity of the battle by two levels, it would be a joke to think of exhausting Grimm's elemental energy.
While Leicester was worrying about Grimm, Grimm was also frowning and thinking hard.
Leicester could not attack Grimm through the dense elemental shields, and Grimm's violent fire spells could not catch up with Grimm's swift and agile figure.
After half an hour, Grimm's fire spells had completely plowed the ground under his feet, but the damage he had done to the Vampire could be counted on one hand. Trying to make the other party yield with just this amount of damage was simply a fantasy.
As a Tier 2 wizard, when Grimm fought with all his might, even though he had the upper hand 99% of the time, the advantage he had was negligible. He had to use all his strength to chase after Grimm's figure. If he let his guard down, he might be ambushed by Grimm.
Every time this happened, it meant that he would lose two or three of his Fire Shields!
In comparison, although the Lava Shield's defense was better, it was not as flexible as the Fire Shield in terms of movement and blocking. Once the fire shields were depleted, the two lava shields would not be able to stop Grimm's sneak attack.
The two Tier 2 wizards were locked in a stalemate in mid-air. The violent and ferocious fire spells had changed the terrain beneath them.
The once beautiful and tranquil Rose Manor was now in ruins. All the buildings that stood on the ground collapsed in the fireballs and sea of fire that fell from the sky. All the plants and flowerbeds were incinerated by the monstrous flames, leaving black marks on the ground.
