The characteristic of the spell "Time Stop" was a gemstone pocket watch.
Many spells needed some kind of material as a catalyst, and Time Stop was no exception. The catalyst it needed, in addition to the gemstones used by many high-level spells, was an accurate timepiece — the specific shape and size didn't matter, as long as the timepiece was accurate.
In order to facilitate the casting of spells, mages often used special pocket watches. This kind of pocket watch was inlaid with many gemstones, and the timepiece was very accurate, just enough to completely meet the requirements of the spell.
Among the known spells, this casting material was unique, so if a mage took out a gemstone pocket watch in battle, it was most likely that they were going to cast this spell.
In fact, as long as the two requirements of "accurate timepiece" and "multiple gemstones" could be met, the casting material of this spell didn't necessarily have to be a gemstone pocket watch. For example, some ancient spellcasters liked to use gemstone hourglasses as the casting material of this spell. From another point of view, a gemstone celestial globe should also work. There were many similar things.
However, the gemstone pocket watch was still the material of choice. Firstly, the pocket watch itself was a good decoration, and it was also very convenient to use it for timepiece. Secondly, among all kinds of relatively convenient materials, it was the cheapest — although the cost of each gemstone pocket watch was more than two thousand gold coins, enough to make a low-level mage go bankrupt.
Ray pulled out his sword and rushed out. He didn't dare to delay even a little bit, only hoping that he could be fast enough, fast enough to hit the target before the opponent finished casting the spell.
But he was still too slow.
When his sword was just out of the sheath, the pocket watch in Kahn's hand made a "click" sound and stopped.
The moment the pocket watch stopped, everything in the box faded and turned into a monotonous black and white pattern. Only Kahn, who was holding the Time Stop pocket watch, still maintained the normal color, proving that at this moment he was independent of time.
And at this time, the distance between him and Ray was less than two meters.
Kahn slightly nodded to Ray with a little bit of appreciation. He guessed that this swordsman was likely to be in contact with a high-level mage, or even a legendary master — there weren't many people who could understand the high-end spell "Time Stop," even among the mages.
There were really too few people who could see him take out the pocket watch and immediately realize what spell he was going to cast, and then attack without hesitation!
Perhaps this swordsman was also a person of noble birth. Perhaps he was the descendant of a legendary master. Fate must have played a cruel joke on him. He didn't inherit the ability to cast spells, right?
He was a little worthy of sympathy …
However, he would not show mercy because of this. The appreciation between geniuses would not be given to the weak who had been abandoned by fate.
It would be better to say that the poor swordsman would be happier to die by his hand instead of slowly rotting in the swamp of incompetence.
Kahn raised his right hand and weaved magical runes on his fingers, quickly forming a spell.
The air in front of Ray trembled slightly, and several areas became blurry and distorted. These blurs and distortions weren't too conspicuous, and if one wasn't paying attention, they would be overlooked.
This was Force Field Blade, an improved version of the low-level spell "Magic Missile". Its level was not high, but it was very useful. Not only did it not require any materials, but it was also discreet enough. Most importantly, normal physical methods could not block it. Even enchanted armor would lose its effectiveness in front of it — unless the armor was attached with a rare force field protection.
In order to avoid affecting his "super speed" state, when time stopped, it was not advisable to come into direct contact with the enemy, nor was it advisable to use a direct attack spell. That was why Kahn used a special method to stop the force field blade that should have been shot out in the air.
The force field blade itself was already very difficult to defend against, not to mention the force field blade that was frozen in the air and would only be shot out after time stopped.
It could be imagined that when time stopped ended, these invisible blades would suddenly appear in front of Ray. They would quickly shoot towards the target, and perhaps before he noticed them, he would already be hit.
The force field blade was much sharper and more terrifying than ordinary flying knives. If one was hit by it, the wound would be very difficult to heal. Even if he could rely on his superb reaction to avoid a fatal injury, the multiple cuts would cause him to completely lose the ability to move, and he could only lie on the ground waiting to die from excessive blood loss.
Time stopped and the force field blade should be enough. But Kahn didn't stop there. He once again cast the spell. This time around him, the air rapidly fluctuated, and an invisible force condensed into a sharp sword, protecting him in the middle.
This was a blade barrier, a very effective defensive spell.
The spell was still not over. Kahn was very clear about how long his time stopped could last, and he could probably add about two more spells.
To be honest, using so much energy to deal with a group of people who were eating and making trouble was really making a fuss over a small matter. But since he had already started, he would not hesitate, and he would not hold back.
Negligence and carelessness were the greatest enemies of a wizard. Only with sufficient preparation and enough caution could he always be invincible.
But at this moment, he saw something unexpected.
The huge floating jellyfish suddenly returned to its original color, from a black and white gray object back to the previous green color.
This meant that it had also broken free from the shackles of time, and stepped outside of time like Kahn, entering the wonderful state called "time stopped."
How could it be! How could a mere jellyfish have such an ability? Was it actually a transformation of a master?
Kahn was so shocked that he could not help but lose focus on the spell. The magic power that was about to condense into a rune on his right hand instantly collapsed, and he himself groaned, and blood flowed out of his nose.
Spellcasting was a double-edged sword. If it was successful, it could hurt the enemy, but if it failed, it would hurt the caster.
However … it had been a long time since he encountered a backlash from failing to cast a spell.
Kahn immediately collected his thoughts, and his mood quickly calmed down. Once again, he began to cast a spell. This time, he was going to cast a "Water Element Extraction" spell, which could extract the water from the enemy's body and turn it into a water element that was controlled by the caster. Although a strong body could greatly reduce the damage, the more water in the body, the better the effect of the spell.
Jellyfish was a large aquatic animal, and more than 95% of its body was composed of water, which meant that its resistance to the extraction of water element was very low. And because of its extreme need for water, even if it used its strong body to block more than 90% of the damage, the remaining 10% was enough to destroy the balance of its body fluid, and make it lose the ability to fight.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. But with just a thought, Kahn had already found the most suitable spell, and quickly cast it.
Because he had never seen this kind of information, and had never even considered this kind of situation, he was not sure whether he could attack in the world where both sides were in "time stop." However, he did not even think about it, and directly chose to release the spell at the big jellyfish.
Intuition told him that in the current situation, there was no problem for him to directly attack!
The "Water Element Extraction" spell turned into a dim gray light, and shot at Sui Xiong, who had just stepped out of time and had not yet adapted to it.
The body of the big jellyfish shook slightly, and a large amount of water was extracted, turning into a surging stream. It had a thick torso and human-like arms, but it did not have a head, and there was a wailing face on its chest. If they saw it at night, they wouldn't even need to attack to scare timid people to death.
This was the water element, which was a relatively common kind among all kinds of elemental creatures.
The water element constructed by the spell was about the height of an ordinary person, and it was relatively weak among the medium-sized water elements. In terms of fighting power, it could not even defeat Steele, who had turned into a pig. Of course, with such a weak power, it could not break through the limit of time, so as soon as it was born, it froze, and its blue body instantly lost its color, turning into a gray solid.
But Kahn did not count on its fighting power. What he wanted was to extract the water from Sui Xiong's body.
"The strategy worked!" When seeing the water element formed, he could not help but smile.
Calculating the time, the time stop was about to expire. When the time stop was over, he would immediately launch a follow-up attack on this jellyfish, and must not let it recover!
However, after half a minute, the world was still black and white, and everything was still frozen, without any change.
"What's going on?!" Kahn was shocked, for he had never encountered such a strange thing.
Time passed little by little, and at least another ten seconds had passed, but the black and white world was still the same.
Kahn opened his eyes wide and looked around, somewhat at a loss.
What should I do? What should I do? What should I do!
Just as he was feeling uneasy, a green tentacle shot over and tightly wrapped around him.
Then, the world recovered its color, and he returned to the normal flow of time.
A green shadow flashed, and Sui Xiong used one tentacle to stop Ray, and the other tentacle to block the invisible blades of the force field.
The blade-shaped force field left a terrible wound on the tentacle, but in the blink of an eye, it was completely healed, and not even a drop of blood flowed out.
Another green light flashed, and the newly formed water element was crushed, and all the water was sucked back by Sui Xiong.
After everything that had happened last night, he smiled and said to Kahn, who was still in a daze, "How was it? How did it feel to stop time? "
"Did you do it?" Kahn's eyes flashed, and he asked in surprise.
"No matter what, I am a god. Is it strange that I can do this?"
Kahn was silent for a while, and shook his head.
"I lost. If you want to beat me or kill me, it's up to you."
"There is no need to beat and kill me, but I think you are too hot-tempered and arrogant, which is not good," Sui Xiong said with a smile. Sui Xiong smiled and said, "Young people can be arrogant when writing, but it's better to be humble when doing things."
"Words like modesty are nothing more than a mask used by the weak to cover up their incompetence."
"So, compared with me, are you weak?"
Kahn smiled, and there was no fear on his face. "The key to strength and weakness is the mind. A king may be weak, and a beggar may be strong. A strong mind is the root of everything! "
"Then, a beggar with a strong mind is a strong man?"
"A beggar will not have a strong mind at all. I was just saying." Kahn shook his head. "A person with a strong mind, of course, should work hard to improve himself. So, they must always be in the pursuit of success, and temporarily rest after success. How can a decadent beggar have a strong mind! "
"Then, do you think I am strong?"
"You don't have a mind that looks down on everything. Even if you are a god, you have no fate with being strong," Kahn said resolutely.
When it came to matters of principle, even in the face of a god, he would not give in.
