"You've lost." On the other side of the chessboard, Xavier opened his mouth. He didn't expect that he would be able to win this game of chess for an entire day and night. During this period, he was even caught by his opponent and caused quite a bit of trouble. However, in the end, Rob still couldn't recover from his previous disadvantage. The final victory belonged to him. Only when the small area in the lower right corner was completely under his control did he finally confirm that the youth had lost all hope of turning the tables.
Rob didn't say anything. He had already lost all of his territory and only had a few wandering pawns left. However, he didn't seem to have any intention of giving up. Even in such a disadvantageous situation, his expression was still the same.
Xavier couldn't help but be vigilant. Considering his opponent's identity, he originally didn't want to be too ruthless. Defeating Rob and forcing him to leave was the best result. However, after witnessing the youth's unparalleled talent and calmness, Xavier couldn't help but think about a question. Was it right to leave such an enemy behind?
"Give up. Even if a miracle happens and you can win this game, you still have no chance. Your magic power is about to run out, but I still have a lot of magic matrixes."
"You only have three magic matrixes left, right?" Rob said indifferently. This was the first time the future supreme magus Your Honor had spoken.
Xavier was stunned for a moment. Then, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
It was a very simple principle. Since a person's magic power was limited, the number of magic matrixes on a person's body naturally couldn't be endless.
That's right. Although Xavier appeared to be very relaxed, he was actually about to run out of tricks. These magic matrixes were prepared for the possible appearance of a powerful enemy. In his original estimation, these magic matrixes should be enough to trap a grade eight great magus. He didn't expect that they would be completely destroyed by a grade six quasi-magus.
Xavier didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that this youth who wasn't even 20 years old was the most terrifying opponent he had ever met in his life.
Fortunately, his magic power was finally about to run out.
Even if a miracle happened and he really broke the last three magic arrays, he wouldn't have enough magic power to fight the next battle. Xavier didn't know why, but he always felt uneasy in the depths of his heart.
"Aren't you curious why I'm still patiently working with you to exhaust my mana when I know how many magic arrays you have?" asked the future Supreme Magister Your Honor.
The ominous premonition in Xavier's heart grew stronger and stronger, but he didn't know what went wrong.
From the moment Luo Bu appeared in front of him to the moment the two of them exchanged blows, the young man had been behaving normally, except for the ten minutes or so in between. During that period of time, he must have been running to save someone, so he couldn't do anything else.
Unless … Xavier finally realized that something was wrong. The first time he met Rob was on the street. Before that, he activated the magic sentries that covered half of the city, but he didn't find any trace of Rob. What was he doing at that time? If Rob just wanted to find him, then why did he hide himself? Wasn't this unnecessary? Unless there was something else he didn't know?
"Have you heard of a magic array called Voidform?" Rob finally shifted his gaze from the chessboard to Xavier.
"Voidform?" Xavier's expression suddenly changed as if he had thought of something. "What do you want to voidform?"
"Voidform doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. It's an area-of-effect spell, so I definitely have to choose something that I don't need, but it's very important to you," said the future Supreme Magister Your Honor. "For now, what do you think I'll choose?"
Voidform magic array. Like the Great Labyrinth of Aklu, it was a famous magic array that had been lost for a long time. Strictly speaking, it was even more famous than the Great Labyrinth of Aklu. It was created by a group of crazy magicians and dwarven alchemists.
The creation of the Voidform magic array also represented the ambition of the magicians in that era. Everyone knew that magicians had god-like powers, but for some reason, they were unable to touch anything related to life. So some magicians took the unconventional path and wanted to use alchemy rules to pry into the mysteries of life. That was how the Voidform magic array was created.
By incorporating alchemy rules into the magic array, it could designate something in a certain area to be invalid. The more powerful the Voidform magic array was, the more complicated the thing it could designate. It was said that the most powerful Voidform magic array could even nullify a concept that wasn't real.
This was also the ultimate purpose of creating the Voidform magic array — to challenge the concept of "death".
If the concept of "death" could be nullified in a certain area, then in theory, as long as one didn't leave the area, one could obtain eternal life in this way. This idea was undoubtedly very exciting, but the final result was disastrous. The participants of the experiment, including a grade eight grand magus, three grade seven magicians, and their students, all turned into eternal crystals.
This was also one of the side effects of alchemy rules. When what you asked for was beyond the range of conversion, the result was often the destruction of both the soul and the body. Even so, there were still a considerable number of magicians who believed that there was nothing wrong with the idea itself. It was just that the Voidform magic array used was not perfect. Therefore, although they had seen the risks, many magicians still secretly studied it in secret. Until more and more vicious incidents occurred in various places, the Sorcerer's Association had to include the Voidform magic array in the list of forbidden magic.
Strictly speaking, the Voidform magic array was not an offensive or defensive magic array, and no one used it in a real battle. The main reason was that the Voidform magic array in a real battle had a fatal weakness — it usually required a long period of preparation before the magic array took effect. During this period, the target could easily discover the existence of the Voidform magic array and have enough time to destroy it or leave the area.
"I've read a lot of your works, and I know that you're best at spatial magic arrays. Therefore, I guessed that you would definitely use these magic arrays to deal with me during the battle. However, spatial magic also has a weakness that isn't really a weakness. Every space you create is isolated from the outside world. In other words, when we fight, you won't be able to sense the changes in the outside world." Your Honor, the future super magus, shrugged.
