Raúl saw the same scene as the last time – a fireball was flying towards him.
What the hell?! There was a limit to acting cute. There was no need to repeat the same scene twice.
However, the speed at which the second fireball appeared was unimaginably fast. In the blink of an eye, the third and fourth fireballs appeared one after another …
In just half a minute, there were more than 70 fireballs gathered in front of Rob. They were so dense that he could feel the heat wave from far away.
If you ignored the fact that they were only grade one spells, they looked amazing.
But what really made the apprentice mage's scalp tingle was another thing.
The speed at which these fireballs flew was actually different!
The speed of the first fireball was the slowest, and the speed of the last fireball was the fastest. The speed of each fireball was a little faster than the previous one, and the result was that all the fireballs would hit the magic wall in front of the apprentice magician at the same time.
After realizing this, Raúl's eyes were filled with horror, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to his head.
The power of one fireball might not be worth mentioning, but the power of nearly a hundred fireballs exploding together was probably close to a grade five spell, far beyond the Azure Guard's ability to withstand.
At this moment, he finally understood what the youth said before – "Magic is not that simple. Every spell has its own value. The power of a low-grade spell is not necessarily weaker than a high-grade spell. The key is still how you use it."
So magic could be played like this?! At the moment of life and death, this was the first thought that flashed in the apprentice mage's mind. He was also a mage. No matter what kind of person he was, at least like other mages, he always had the heart to explore magic.
The scene that happened in front of him today had completely subverted his previous understanding. In addition to fear, it also brought him endless shock.
The series of seemingly useless actions that the youth did before turned out to be meaningless and pure venting.
The Archmage slowly released the fireballs. In fact, he was testing the flying speed of each fireball, calculating the time they would take to reach the magic wall, and then setting the speed difference for all the fireballs to hit the magic wall at the same time.
But … was it really possible?
Even if it could be explained in theory, in reality, no one could do it, right?! Not to mention that it was impossible for an ordinary mage to release nearly a hundred fireballs in less than a minute. Take Raúl for example. In such a short time, a magician could at most release ten fireballs, and this was because the fireball spell was easy to cast and had a short chanting time.
Even if you could release nearly a hundred fireballs at once, it was impossible to control the speed of each fireball and make sure that all the fireballs hit the magic barrier at the same time. If there was even the slightest mistake, there would be a short time difference between the fireballs hitting the magic barrier and the final result would be that the Azure Guardian wouldn't be able to break through.
Was there really someone in this world who could have such incredible insight, mental calculation, and control of magic?
The apprentice mage would not have believed it before, but now that he had seen with his own eyes the magic wall in front of him shake violently, become covered with cracks, and finally completely shatter …
There was only one word left in Raúl's mind — amazing!
The Azure Guard, known as one of the most powerful tier-4 spells, was broken by a level 1 fireball spell that even an apprentice mage could use.
This matter completely changed the inherent understanding of magic of a tier-2 magician, and it opened a door for him. Behind this door was a new world that he had never been in contact with before. If he had enough time to digest everything in front of him, his strength would definitely reach a new level.
Unfortunately, this kind of thing only happened to the Son of the Plane who carried the template of the main character. The person in front of Raúl might be able to enjoy this kind of treatment, but for a small fry like the apprentice mage, this was the end of his life.
Nearly a hundred fireballs exploded at the same time. Not only did it destroy the Azure Guard, but the blazing flames also engulfed the figure of the apprentice mage. Raúl seemed to want to say something, but unfortunately, before he could open his mouth, he was blown to pieces.
But it didn't matter. After all, the future Supreme Magus wasn't interested in that kind of thing. He wanted to see Magician Xi just to exchange some dark history of the Matthews family for a chance to live.
Since Rob didn't plan to let him go from the beginning, he naturally wasn't interested in this deal. Moreover, Raúl was at best a peripheral member of the Matthews family, so it was hard to expect him to reveal any real secrets.
For example, the compass on him. The teenager dared to bet that even the apprentice mage didn't know what it was used for.
Oh, speaking of the compass …
Looking at the charred corpse of Magician Xi, the future Supreme Magus Your Honor suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Nearly a hundred fireballs exploded at the same time. Although it was a beautiful scene, and the thin magic wall was blown to ashes, the high temperature generated almost melted all the valuable things on the apprentice mage, such as the necklace with the Azure Guard engraved on it. Several other magic devices on his body also suffered different degrees of damage. Among them, the compass that the Matthews family wanted was only a small part of it.
Speaking of which, the plan that he made before seemed to have a fun part of looting the corpse, but now that the scene had happened, he definitely couldn't do this side quest.
Regarding this, the Archmage also felt a little heartache. Raúl was a robber, so his net worth was not low. He was only a grade two magician, but apart from his staff, he actually had four magic devices on him. Although the value of the other three magic devices was not as high as the necklace with the Azure Guard engraved on it, they were still of high quality. One should know that most grade three or four magicians didn't have so many magic devices on them, and now, all of them were destroyed by someone.
Fortunately, there were other comforts. Although Magician Xi's corpse could not be looted, the bastard son of the Matthews family and the Guard Captain's body were still next to him. Nobles were indeed creatures that had the least lack of money in this world. Rob found a total of more than 30 gold coins and two magic devices on them.
Also, there was the team that Raúl had schemed against at the entrance. If they were still alive, Rob would naturally be too embarrassed to rob them. But now that they were dead, the money on them had also become ownerless. Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Rob naturally took it away. This team was quite strong, and all the members added up to about two gold coins. Unfortunately, they did not have any magic devices on them.
But this was also very normal. Not all ordinary adventurers could live as long as Edward and accumulate enough money to buy a magic device. The old thief had been single all his life, so he didn't have to save money to buy milk powder for his children, nor did he have to worry about school housing. That was why he was able to save so much money.
