Compared to a rank 2 Magus, what were the strengths of a rank 3 Magus?
A higher magic resistance, a stronger body, and a terrifying spiritual pressure … These were all superficial. What truly determined the difference between a rank 2 and a rank 3 Magus was the control of elemental particles.
Due to the small size of a human Magus, the amount of magic energy contained within their bodies was much less than that of a large magical creature. This way, during an intense battle, they would need to continuously obtain elemental particles from the outside world to replenish their rapid consumption.
As for a rank 3 Magus, apart from a few who specialized in body tempering, most of their bodies were only seven or eight times stronger than a normal human's. This strength sounded very powerful, but in a battle between high-ranked Magi, they would still not be able to withstand a swift and fierce attack.
As a bloodline Magus, Yurga's agility was greatly increased after transforming into a Death Crow. However, his vitality and life force were still his obvious shortcomings. In other words, Yurga was still a fragile Magus with high attack and weak defence!
Of course, this weak defence only applied to a rank 3 Magus!
From the start of this duel between a rank 2 and a rank 3 Magus, it was a stalemate.
On one side, there was a dense black fog, while on the other, there was a raging sea of flames.
Both sides invaded and tangled with each other, frantically depleting the magical energy within the other's domain at every moment.
That young rank 2 Fire Magus actually displayed strength that was not inferior to his opponent's, and did not seem to be at a disadvantage in the contest for the domain space.
This undoubtedly caused many of the Magi watching the battle to be greatly astonished!
However, from their point of view, such bravery was meaningless. Under the pressure of a rank 3 Magus, how much of an advantage could that rank 2 Fire Magus have in the contest for elemental particles? Once he stopped replenishing his energy from the outside world, how long could he maintain such a powerful burning domain with just the magical energy within his body?
When that time came, even if his opponent did not force him, he would still have to disperse this energy-consuming elemental domain. Once he lost the protection of the elemental domain, it would be a piece of cake for Magus Yurga to kill this young Fire Magus. How could a rank 2 Magus withstand the 'Death Gaze' condensed from hundreds and thousands of death rays?
Just as the surrounding Magi were discussing amongst themselves, Yurga, who was in the middle of the sea of flames, had a completely different feeling from them.
Damn it, why do these flames hurt so much …
As a Tier 3 Sorcerer, Yurga's Magic Resistance had already reached 217 points with the help of a few protective spells. He was basically equipped with Basic Fire Resistance. But even so, when he dived into the sea of flames, the 1,326 Death Crows that he had transformed into felt the damage caused by the flames.
A terrifyingly high temperature stream of flame swept over. Dozens of Death Announcing Crows couldn't dodge in time and were swept by the flame tail. They were instantly incinerated into ashes and couldn't be more dead. At the edge of the black fog, there were always some Crows that couldn't dodge in time and fell prey to the sea of fire.
Damn it, where is the Fire Wizard hiding?
Yurga's massive mental strength shuttled through the sea of fire, but he did not find the young Fire Wizard. Even the two Elemental Puppets had disappeared, leaving no traces behind. If he continued to delay like this, even though he could use his Wizard Power to replicate the lost Death Announcing Crow, his own Wizard Power would also be continuously depleted.
He couldn't possibly have such a difficult time fighting a Tier 2 Sorcerer!
The impatient Yurga immediately took action. Thousands of Death Announcing Crows cawed as they charged into the sea of fire. As they spread their wings and flew, they shot death rays from their scarlet eyes into the sea of fire.
Strangely enough, a low grunt suddenly sounded from within the Burning Domain, which had been empty except for the flames. Immediately after, a large portion of the sea of fire was extinguished, as if the flames had a soul of their own.
As the Death Announcing Crows continued to spread, the area of the sea of fire began to shrink rapidly. The churning black fog instead swarmed in, taking advantage of the opportunity to invade the Burning Domain.
Grimm, who had been hiding within the sea of fire, sighed. He knew that the sea of fire alone would not be enough to deal with the Tier 3 Sorcerer's attacks. He could only use his mental strength to give the two terrifying Flame Demons new orders.
The sea of fire was the combat space Grimm had set up for himself, and he would not allow his opponent to dominate it.
Hence, when the Death Announcing Crows attacked the sea of fire without restraint, the sea of fire retaliated immediately!
In the depths of the raging flames and scorching heat waves, two indomitable and terrifying Flame Demons appeared. As soon as they appeared, they waved their hands and summoned a large cloud of fire, sweeping towards the Death Announcing Crows that were flying at the edge of the black fog.
Wherever the cloud of fire passed, the entire space was like a boiling furnace, and everything was set ablaze.
Apart from the large cloud of fire, the two terrifying Flame Demons also condensed huge lava fireballs, which they smashed into the black fog. The surging magical flames and terrifying heatwaves instantly burned a large number of Death Announcing Crows to ashes.
However, just as the two terrifying Flame Demons were about to fight, the flames beside them dimmed, and a strange humanoid figure that was only as tall as their legs suddenly appeared.
At the same time that Yurga appeared, the scarlet eye on his forehead shot out a thick death ray, which hit the body of one of the terrifying Flame Demons. The Flame Demon only struggled for half a second, and with a furious roar, it exploded into a sky full of sparks and a violent meteor shower.
Amidst this apocalyptic scene, the Demon Puppet Core that was hidden extremely well within the terrifying Flame Demon's body also flew out, soundlessly disintegrating in midair, shattering into fragments all over the ground.
Just like that, Yurga had killed a terrifying Grade 2 Mid-Grade Balrog without a sound or a trace!
Deep within the sea of fire, Grimm suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, and the bit of mental strength he had attached to the Flame Demon's Crystal Core was also destroyed. If he had not reacted quickly and cut off his mental connection with the Flame Demon in time, the Death Gaze of a Grade 3 Wizard might have been able to reach Grimm through this hidden connection.
But even so, one of Grimm's trusted subordinates was killed so easily, and the pain he felt was indescribable.
After all, Grimm was never willing to sell such a powerful Magic Puppet. If it was put on the Wizard's market, it would cost at least 170,000 Magic Crystals. This price was about the same as a low-grade version of the Wizard's Pagoda.
But don't think it's too expensive!
No matter how good the Wizard's Pagoda was, could you carry it around? But an Elemental Magic Puppet like this could be carried around, and summoned to fight for you at any time. Such convenience and power was something that the Wizard's Pagoda could not compare to!
Yet, such an Elemental Puppet, which seemed to have been constructed from a large number of Mana Crystals, had been instantly killed by a Tier 3 Wizard. One could easily imagine how shocked Grimm was.
After all, Grimm did not have much of a difference in strength compared to the terrifying Flame Demon, other than having some Elemental Protection and a Fire Set Equipment. Since the other party could instantly kill the terrifying Flame Demon, it would not be difficult for him to kill Grimm.
Therefore, other than feeling distressed over the Magic Crystals, Grimm was even more worried about his own safety.
After all, even if the Elemental Magic Puppet was destroyed, he could still create more. If his soul were to explode, then everything would really be over!
Because of this, Grimm hesitated for a moment, and did not summon the other terrifying Flame Demon back.
This was not the time to feel distressed over the Magic Crystals.
What was the original motive for creating the Elemental Magic Puppet? It was all for the sake of charging and breaking through enemy lines … Now, it was time for them to bravely sacrifice themselves!
Therefore, when Wizard Yurga killed the terrifying Flame Demon in an instant, the other terrifying Flame Demon did not retreat. Instead, it turned its muzzle and unleashed its fury on the Grade 3 Wizard.
The black fog was blasted into pieces, and even the corners of Yurga's black robe showed signs of drying up.
As a Grade 3 Wizard, how could Yurga be bothered by such an insignificant attack? As he smiled faintly, his body once again exploded into a sky full of red-eyed, black-feathered crows, flapping their wings and scattering in all directions.
Just as the terrifying Flame Demon was about to gather another large ball of Elemental Fire, the sea of fire behind it suddenly parted, and Yurga mysteriously appeared out of thin air.
Hence, in the very next second, a thick death ray struck the remaining fearsome balrog's body.
A behemoth that was 6 meters tall and weighed 4 tons actually collapsed under the bombardment of a magic ray that was not even as thick as the mouth of a bowl. Its body disintegrated into fragments and sparks that filled the sky. The Magic Puppet's crystal core could not escape the pursuit of the magic effect, and it disintegrated along with its body.
In less than 15 seconds, 340,000 magic crystals had disappeared without a trace!
After activating his battle ability twice in one go, Wizard Yurga's skinny and pale face could not help but flush a little, and his breathing also became a little hurried.
"Hmph, damned little thing, let's see how you're going to resist now. Let's see where you can hide after I destroy the sea of fire … "
Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, two violent roars suddenly sounded from the depths of the sea of fire, and another two huge Flame Demons appeared.
Damn it, damn it, damn it … Why did that bastard bring so many high-grade Elemental Puppets?
Although he did not know the exact price, Elemental Puppets that were at the middle of grade 2 and had such powerful battle abilities could not be cheap. That … That detestable little fellow, where did he get so much money to get so many Elemental Puppets?
Looking at the standard figures and battle abilities of these puppets, they must have been made by the same batch. If he wanted to find an Alchemist Master to customize such high-quality puppets for him, he would have to spend a lot of magic crystals.
This …
While Yurga was in a state of bewilderment, a short piece of information suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Grim, Grade 2 Fire Wizard. His strength is roughly at the mid-high level, and he has a special talent for creating strange Elemental Puppets …"
