"A magic circle?" Shock was written all over the Punishment Paladin's face. "That's impossible! From the moment you entered the courtyard, my eyes never left you. You didn't even have the chance to set up a magic array. Also, why would this magic array affect me, a Punishment Paladin?"
"That's because this magic array wasn't just recently carved," the Great Magician said calmly.
Isabelle's expression changed. "I thought it was just my imagination. For a moment, I seemed to feel a slight magic wave nearby, but before I had time to check, I heard someone knocking on the door. So the first knock was to distract us?"
The female Magician did not ask why Rob's men were in the backyard when the knock came from the front yard. As a fellow Magician, she knew that Rob had many tricks up his sleeves.
"As for why this magic circle is effective, the reason is simple. It's because this magic circle takes precedence over your magic immunity."
Rob paused for a moment before explaining, "I was deceived in the beginning. Although I knew of your existence, I had never come into contact with you before. So, I always thought that your magic immunity is the same as Mithril's, which relies on your body's strong elemental isolation. Not long ago, I met a team from the Court of Heresy in Ryan, and during the fight, I discovered that your magic immunity is actually a judgment mechanism."
"Here's how it works. When you encounter a magic spell, the judgment mechanism will take effect. When the judgment mechanism is stronger than the magic spell you encounter, the magic spell will be ineffective against you. On the other hand, you won't be immune to it."
Frowning, George said, "You're saying that Tier 6 and above Spells are stronger than our Judgement Mechanism, so they'll be effective, while Tier 5 and below Spells will be ineffective because they're weaker than our Judgement Mechanism. But what's the point of knowing this? Magicians of grade 5 and below still have no chance of winning against us, right? "
"Now that I know this, I can change the judgment of the magic circle in advance, disguising a low-level magic circle as a high-level one, and win against your judgment mechanism," Archmage said casually, but to the Punishment Knight's ears, it was like a bolt of lightning.
If not for the fact that he could not even move a finger, George would definitely think that the guy in front of him had gone mad. How could a Punishment Knight's magic immunity be broken in such a cheat-like way?! This must be a lie. Even if he told others, no one would believe him.
The female Magician was also at a loss. Although Isabelle was also a Magician, everything that happened in front of her tonight was beyond her understanding.
Based on her common sense and experience, the female Magician knew that it was impossible. At the same time, she also recognized the magic circle that imprisoned Idu — Lyon's Gravity Field. It was a genuine level-5 magic circle. Logically speaking, this magic circle should not affect a Punishment Knight, but the fact was that Idu could only move his mouth and eyes.
The Punishment Knight watched helplessly as Luo Bu raised the staff in his hand and lightly touched the space between his eyebrows. In the next moment, an incomparably pure holy power poured down from the top of his head, enveloping Idu's entire body in a golden holy light. The Punishment Knight let out a pained howl as if he had been set ablaze.
In just a short moment, blood began to seep out of his nose, eyes, ears, and mouth. At the same time, his screams became more and more miserable.
However, the Great Magician did not have any intention of stopping. Luo Bu's expression was calm as he maintained his original posture. The magic crystal at the tip of his staff shone with a holy light, and under the effect of the holy power, the blood in the Punishment Knight's body seemed to be boiling. His blood vessels burst open, and blood stained the ground beneath his feet. His screams did not stop, but they became softer and softer until they disappeared.
When it was confirmed that George could no longer stand up, the thick holy power gradually dissipated. Rob put away the staff, and as if nothing had happened, he walked down the short wall with the girl in his arms.
Isabelle's eyes were still filled with shock. Everything happened too fast. The female Magician wanted to save her companion, but she found that the Death Confinement she had cast earlier had become the biggest obstacle to her rescue. Isabelle's heart sank. Only now did she completely understand everything.
From the moment they heard the knocking on the door, the two of them had already fallen into the opponent's trap. When the guy set up the hidden magic circle on the wall, he probably already knew what would happen next.
Under George's attack, he was forced to use Phase Shift and stand on the short wall. Everything seemed to be logical, and in the process, he even used the legendary mimicry magic. So even with George's cautiousness and cunning, he did not realize that it was a trap. In the end, he stepped into the magic circle that the opponent had prepared long ago.
However, what made Isabelle feel even more chilled was the way the guy dealt with her. In the previous confrontation between the two, Rob seemed to have been at a disadvantage, and it seemed that he could not spare any energy to deal with her harassment. The female Magician carefully recalled the previous battle, and was shocked to realize that the confrontation between the two had actually started from the beginning. However, this kind of confrontation was more on the psychological level, which she only realized now.
From the beginning to the end, the guy in front of her had only used three spells, namely Mimicry, Phase Shift, and Frost Guard. These three spells had a deeper meaning in addition to the impact on the battle itself.
If Mimicry was to emphasize his threat, then Phase Shift was to show his high-speed movement ability, and the last Frost Guard was to tell Isabelle that he had an almost instantaneous casting speed.
In particular, the combination of the last two spells brought a strong psychological hint to Isabelle that offensive magic was not much of a threat to the opponent. At the same time, she should further reduce his movement space, so the female Magician did not hesitate to choose the restriction magic for the second attack.
Unfortunately, Isabelle had forgotten that while restricting the opponent with the restriction magic, it was also equivalent to separating herself from the battle. So when the accident happened, the female Magician suddenly found that she could not cut into the battle at the first moment, and could only watch her companion being roasted to death by the holy light.
Isabelle had seen many geniuses in her life, including George. They were all very good at grasping opportunities, but compared to the guy opposite her, they were not at the same level at all. If she had to use a word to describe the guy opposite her, it would probably be a monster.
