— Magic Nullification.
Even if Xavier had discovered the magic formation beforehand, he probably wouldn't have believed that the target Rob had chosen was the magical elements in this area.
As the most famous magical genius in the last 900 years, Rob's accomplishments in magic were obvious to all. Demain had once praised the youth for being born to be a wizard. To others, those obscure and difficult spells were as simple and natural as breathing to him. He was the one and only monarch in the world of magic, and magic flowed in his blood.
As long as he held a staff in his hand, no one in this world would dare to look down on him.
Thus, no one would have guessed that the magic formation he had set up behind Xavier's back was actually to nullify magic in this area.
In fact, Xavier still couldn't understand it. Admittedly, this could nullify the magic formations he had prepared, but just as Rob had said, the magic formation didn't differentiate between friend and foe. Being in this area, he would also lose his magic, and the two would become ordinary people. Compared to Xavier, who was at ease and waiting for him to exhaust himself, Rob was undoubtedly the more exhausted one. Cracking magic formations for two days straight had taken a huge toll on his mind and body. If the two really fought, what advantage would he have?
The youth quickly gave his answer.
Rob tossed away the staff in his hand and exercised his wrists and ankles. "I seem to have told you before that I'm a freshman in Siamus, but I didn't have the time to tell you which department I'm in."
Xavier's pupils shrank. He finally understood why he had no impression of the youth in front of him. He asked in surprise, "Aren't you in the magic department?"
"If you were me, would you be in the magic department?" Rob raised his eyebrows and asked.
Xavier quickly understood the crux of the matter. With the youth's talent, if he were to hide in Siamus, the magic major would definitely be the worst choice. Because no matter how well he hid, it would inevitably arouse suspicion after a long time of interaction. On the other hand, he wouldn't have such trouble in other majors. Even if he occasionally acted abnormally, no one would think in that direction.
But with that, Xavier quickly realized something was wrong. The students recruited by Siamus Comprehensive Academy were all combatants, and there weren't any pure research-type students like scholars. In other words, if the youth wasn't in the magic department, then he must be a student in the physics department. Even if he was an archer who liked to attack from a distance like a mage, his melee combat ability wasn't something a mage could compare to.
Only then did Xavier fully understand the significance of Rob's void-magic formation. Once magic was rendered ineffective in this area, he would undoubtedly be affected the most. Because he hadn't made a move in the past two days and only used the magic formation to deal with the youth, he was still in almost full condition. On the other hand, Rob didn't have much magic power left, so he naturally didn't care if his magic was rendered ineffective.
On the other hand, the young man had undergone systematic melee combat training. Even though he was mentally and physically exhausted, it was more than enough to deal with an ordinary person like him. It was a pity that it was too late when Xavier realized that something was wrong. After two days of preparation, the Voidform Magic Circle finally took effect.
The chessboard world lasted less than half a minute before collapsing. The two figures returned to the street. Their positions didn't change, still maintaining the position when they left.
Without hesitation, Xavier turned around and ran. Although he had lost his magic, his mind was still very calm. Generally speaking, the effect of the void-magic formation wouldn't be too large, and it was difficult for the opponent to set up a complex magic formation in a hurry. As long as he could run out of this area, he could regain the initiative.
There wasn't a problem with Xavier's choice, but it was a pity that the seventh grade magister had underestimated the results of Luo Bu's training. With his standard brittle body and clumsy movement abilities, he obviously couldn't compare to a certain someone who had experienced Luo Luo's death training. Xavier had only taken two steps before he was grabbed by the collar by the future supermodel mentor. Immediately after, he suffered a knee strike from the youth, causing the seventh grade magister to kneel on the ground in pain.
It wasn't Xavier's fault that he wasn't tough enough. After all these years, he had gotten used to fighting elegantly. As the weakest magic profession, mages were originally not used to melee professions such as swordsmen. Most mages regarded melee professions as barbarians. As a group of people who dedicated their lives to the pursuit and exploration of the truth, they were so reliant on their brains that none of them were willing to take the time to train their bodies a little.
However, this wasn't entirely the fault of mages. After mastering the powerful and mysterious power of magic, very few people would still be interested in primitive combat methods.
Xavier's pained expression didn't last too long. He quickly regained his composure, but the calmness on his face now looked a little strange.
The future super magus frowned. Then, the youth noticed the small bottle in his opponent's hand. From the colour and smell of the liquid remaining in it, Rob determined that it was a magic potion called Blood Boiling Potion.
Blood Boiling Potion was a middle-rank magic potion that wasn't too rare. Most potioneers would have a few bottles on hand. Its main purpose was to purify the blood of magical beasts and remove the impurities in their blood. However, if someone drank it, the consequences would be …
The reason why Xavier's body didn't show any abnormalities was that he was still within the range of the magic formation, so the Blood Boiling Potion couldn't take effect. However, if he stepped out of the area, all the blood in his body would boil and his organs would fail.
In other words, he had no chance of survival.
Luo Bu shook his head. "Why are you doing this?"
Strictly speaking, the future super magus Your Honor didn't have any direct grudges with Xavier. Xavier's target had always been the owner of the little golem, but in order to achieve his goal, he completely ignored the lives of those around him. The two monsters he created with the help of the Heresy Tribunal were both calamitous.
Rob had suffered quite a bit of injury when he killed the Man Killer Fiend last time, but the monster this time was even more powerful. It even put Lolo in danger, which made the future super magus Your Honor very angry. Rob had also thought about killing him, but considering his attainments in magic formations, it was a bit of a waste to do so.
Xavier was unexpectedly calm. "The winner takes all. Since I dared to make a move, I naturally considered what would happen if I failed. Being a captive was never one of my options. I just didn't expect that Your Holiness would also appear in this freshmen arena."
