When the fireball collided with the Elemental Shield and stirred up dazzling sparks, Lin Li was even more shocked. When did this guy become so powerful? Just a fireball almost made the Elemental Shield on his body collapse. This was probably close to the strength of an Archmage.
After using the Elemental Shield to withstand the fireball, Lin Li did not dare to be careless. He prepared a Wind Blade in each hand, but was not in a hurry to release it. He waited for Cromwell to start chanting.
After Cromwell's fireball, the smile on his face grew wider. Although the fireball did not completely blast the Elemental Shield, it allowed him to accurately judge his opponent's strength.
"Only level-twelve …" In a battle between mages, a difference of more than two levels almost meant a crushing defeat. Cromwell was already very confident in this duel.
He also added an Elemental Shield on himself, and then chanted with his high-pitched voice.
When the light of the Elemental Shield lit up, Lin Li couldn't help but smile bitterly. This guy had really learned to be smart, but he was now an arrow nocked on the bowstring and had no choice but to fire. Two wind blades shot out with a tearing sound and hit the Elemental Shield on Cromwell without any suspense.
Lin Li knew very well that these two Wind Blades would not have any effect.
With Cromwell's strength close to that of an Archmage, his Elemental Shield could probably withstand even a level-fifteen spell, not to mention two level-one Wind Blades. So, Lin Li did not dare to hope for the result at all. As soon as the two Wind Blades were released, he also began a long recitation.
With his huge mental strength, Lin Li barely caught up with the progress of the recitation. The two completed the recitation of the level-nine Flaming Storm almost at the same time.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Two loud noises sounded almost at the same time. In a split second, flames rose in the center of the Daylight Square.
The earth-shattering collision between the two caused everyone in the stands to cry out in surprise.
Except for a few people, no one had expected to see a battle of this level today. Before coming to the Daylight Square, almost everyone's impression of them was still at the level of young geniuses — talented and strong, but only among the younger generation.
They did not expect that this would be a battle comparable to that of an Archmage.
Looking at the two men's skillful and rapid spell-casting skills, and looking at the powerful magical waves released by them, they even had an illusion … Could it be that Gerian and Matthew were fighting this duel in place of them?
Both of them were hit by the Flaming Storm almost at the same time, but the results were completely different. Due to the overwhelming difference in magic level, coupled with the impact of the previous fireball, the Elemental Shield on Lin Li's body was broken almost instantly. Cromwell, who was also standing in the midst of the flames, maintained a faint halo on his body …
The gap of two levels was exposed in an instant.
"Can you still smile now?" Cromwell revealed a cruel smile, and pointed the Aether Staff in his hand at Lin Li. The magical crystal at the tip of the staff surged with a blue light, and then an icicle whizzed out.
At this moment, half of the audience's hearts tightened. Most of them were forces related to the Guild of Magic, especially Gerian, who was sitting on the right side of Isaac. His hands were clenched into fists.
As an Archmage, he could see further and clearer than the others. From Cromwell's fireball, Gerian knew that he was close to the strength of an Archmage. After the two Flaming Storms, he had the absolute advantage. Now that Lin Li's Elemental Shield had been broken, even with the Ice Armor Spell, it would be difficult for him to take the icicle head-on …
Then, Gerian saw an Ice Armor propped up in front of Lin Li. But for some reason, Gerian felt that there was something wrong with this Ice Armor.
The moment the Ice Armor propped up, the icicle had already arrived with an afterimage.
"Screech!" The moment the icicle came into contact with the Ice Armor, an ear-piercing sound spread throughout the Daylight Square.
"Phew …" Gerian let out a long breath because he had seen that after the icicle hit the Ice Armor, it did not penetrate the Ice Armor as he had imagined. Instead, it skimmed over the crystal clear ice surface, and only brought up flying ice shards. At this moment, Gerian suddenly understood why he felt that there was something wrong with the Ice Armor just now.
Changing the way the elements were arranged to change the angle of the Ice Armor propped up. How could this kid think of that …
An Ice Armor propped up diagonally was naturally more advantageous in the face of a head-on icicle than one propped up head-on.
The smile on Cromwell's face froze when the icicle that he had been determined to hit missed. He had never thought that his opponent would use such a method to block the icicle.
There were bursts of exclamations from the stands, but Lin Li still had a smile on his face.
Probably only he knew that he didn't need to prop up the Ice Armor at all just now. With the powerful anti-magic attribute of the Robe of Wrath, he could have taken the icicle head-on. It was just that he didn't want to expose the secret of the Robe of Wrath so early. He wanted to wait for a more critical moment to surprise Cromwell with it.
After surviving the short spell cycle, Lin Li had a brand-new Elemental Shield. At least on the surface, both sides were standing on the same starting line again.
But the gap of as much as two levels still existed. Just as Lin Li propped up the Elemental Shield again, Cromwell began a new round of outbursts. This time, he used a large number of low-level magic. After reaching level-fourteen, even if his mental strength couldn't be compared to Lin Li's, with the absolute advantage in level, the magic he could cast instantly would not be less than Lin Li's. Wind blades and Arcane Missiles fell continuously on the Elemental Shield, stirring up circles of ripples on that faint layer of light …
And in the midst of this storm-like attack, Lin Li's counterattack was equally sharp. Mental Control, Delirium, and all kinds of harassment, forcing Cromwell to divert his attention to set up the Mental Protection Field. While Cromwell was also taking time to shoot a few wind blades from time to time, constantly weakening the Elemental Shield on Cromwell …
