"You're right." The Archmage nodded in agreement. "It's not worth it to offend a powerful family for a magic device, so you don't have to worry. I'm not interested in that compass."
Raúl was about to heave a sigh of relief when the teenager continued, "I'm only here to get rid of you. Oh, right. I also want to steal some money from you. To be honest, I don't really care what the Matthews family is up to."
"Also, don't think I don't know what you're up to. I've discovered the dirty deeds you and the Matthews family have been doing behind the scenes. I'm sure you want to get rid of me. If I really bring these corpses to claim the bounty, you might not dare to attack me in public, but you'll at least send someone to keep an eye on me. Once I turn into an alley, I'm afraid I'll be greeted by the Matthews family's assassins."
Xi's back was already drenched in cold sweat. It was obvious that his opponent was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
However, when the time came, Raúl completely relaxed. His expression darkened. "You want to kill me? Do you think you can break my Azure Guard? When we return to the surface, it's hard to say who will be the one to kill who. You're just a Tier 3 Magician. So what if you're stronger than me? You've provoked the Matthews family. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, there's no way you can escape. "
The future Supreme Wizard, Your Honor, sighed. "You think too highly of yourself. At best, you're just a hound of the Matthews family, and a hound of the underworld at that. After I kill you, as long as I don't touch that compass, do you think the Matthews family will come after me just for the death of a hound? As for that Tier 4 defensive spell on you, do you really think I can't do anything about it? "
The Archmage raised his uniquely shaped staff as he spoke. Raúl's expression immediately tensed up.
"You … What are you doing?!" Magician Xi was like a weak young girl in the prime of her youth. Apart from screaming at the top of her lungs at the corner of the street, she had no other means of self-defense.
It was impossible for Raúl to say that he was not nervous. After witnessing the young man's unreasonably fast casting speed, he had completely given up on the idea of fighting him head-on. Whether he could survive or not depended on the defensive magic on his body.
If the opponent really had a way to break through the thin magic wall, it would be a disaster for the apprentice magicians.
As a result, while Raúl was on tenterhooks for a long time, the young man leisurely cast a level-1 fireball spell.
Huh?!
Magician Xi watched as the bright red fireball slowly flew towards him. When it was just a step away from him, the fireball let out a mournful wail before disintegrating into a puff of green smoke that dissipated into the air.
What … What the hell is this?!
Raúl was dumbfounded. When he found out that Archmage had cast a fireball spell, his heart was already beating like a drum. But out of respect for a master, he still had some hope in his heart. He thought that there might be some kind of hidden secret. The fireball looked ordinary on the surface, but in fact, it was a hidden danger.
In short, Magician Xi tried his best to find an excuse for Archmage, but in the end, he found out that it was really an ordinary fireball. Although the young man cast it instantaneously without chanting, Raúl had seen the same trick several times already. He wouldn't make a fuss every time he saw it.
While the Magician was still pondering whether or not he should laugh at his opponent, the next Fireball was already flying towards him. This time, the Lesser Fireball was flying very slowly, much slower than the average Fireball. Even at such a close distance, it took a full half a minute. Raul even began to wonder if the Magician was suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Magician Xi stood still, watching the fireball repeat its predecessor's tragic fate. The fireball crashed into the thin magic wall, and then turned into a puff of smoke.
Archmage, on the other hand, acted as if he didn't see anything and continued to cast his third fireball.
At this point, Raúl couldn't understand what was going on. If Magician Xi thought he could whittle away his magic wall bit by bit, then he was too naive. The Azure Guard was known as the strongest tier 4 defensive spell for a reason. Although it would lose a portion of its mana every time it was attacked, it would automatically absorb mana from the surroundings to replenish itself. In other words, the spell's endurance was extraordinary.
Unless it was damaged to a certain extent, the magic wall could last for a very long time.
What Raul didn't understand was that if Luo Bu could point out the advantages and disadvantages of the Azure Guard, then there was no reason that he didn't know its other characteristics. Even if he were to throw fireballs one after another until both of them starved to death, it wouldn't have any effect. It would just be a waste of energy. And yet, Magician Xi still didn't get tired of it. It couldn't be that he was trying to tease Magician Xi, right?
In the end, Rob threw a total of fourteen fireballs before he finally stopped.
Magician Xi's initial nervousness had calmed down, and he felt that Magician Xi was at his wit's end. What he was doing now was more like a fit of pique. Apart from venting his anger, he couldn't do any actual damage to Raúl.
However, there was one thing that the apprentice Magician Xi found slightly strange. After witnessing so many fireballs crash into the thin magic wall, Raúl realized that there was a slight difference between these fireballs.
The only difference between them was their flying speed.
The later fireball seemed to always be a little faster than the previous one, but the difference wasn't very obvious. Thus, it wasn't until the ninth fireball that the apprentice Magician Xi vaguely noticed the underlying pattern.
But knowing was one thing, but Raúl still didn't understand the meaning behind Magician Xi's actions.
"Alright, I'm almost done with my preparations. Do you have any last words?" The future Supreme Magister asked the apprentice magician in front of him during the intermission.
"Hmph, stop bluffing! I thought you had some powerful trump card, but it turns out that it's just a Fireball spell that even an Apprentice Magician Xi can use. Don't tell me you think that a tier 4 Azure Guard can't even defend against a mere tier 1 fireball? "
