Sweat seeped out of Tullius' forehead. From the exchange of blows just now, she could already feel the strength of the other party.
This fellow in front of her might not be of a high rank, but his strength was definitely the strongest of all the people she had ever seen. Tullius had never seen a mage fight in this way. It was as if ordinary people's understanding of mages had been subverted.
What was even more frightening was the calm and composed temperament of the other party. It was as if nothing in the world could escape his eyes.
The sneak attack that he had meticulously planned for a long time had been easily seen through just like that. Seeing those little spiders wailing and struggling in the flames, Spider's face also became distorted.
These little spiders were all personally bred by him, and he had spent a lot of effort. In the cold and gloomy underground, only they had always been by his side, just like his children. In the end, they had all been slaughtered by that fire just now. Spider could not take this lying down no matter what. He put two fingers to his mouth and blew a short whistle.
The next moment, two basin-sized spider queens descended from the sky from the ceiling. They sprayed venom from their tails, covering almost half of the cave. Even Wolf Head and Tullius were almost hit. The former cursed loudly as she hurriedly retreated. Fortunately, the two of them were still a distance away from Rob, and they managed to narrowly escape the area covered by the venom.
However, when Tullius and Wolf Head turned their heads, they discovered that the two spider queens, including the venom they had just sprayed, had all stopped in the air.
Tullius sucked in a breath of cold air. Could the Gravity Spell be played like this?
She had come into contact with many mages before she was captured by the Temple of Light and brought to Grimm. She had even married a high-ranked mage. Although that marriage was very short, she could be said to be the person in the entire underground world who understood mages the most. Thus, she quickly recognized the spell that someone had just used.
The Gravity Spell was a very common level-3 spell. With the caster as the center, it changed the gravity in a certain area to restrict the opponent's movements. However, this was the first time Tullius had seen a mage who could casually change the direction of a newly created gravity field. Rob placed the gravity field above his head. This way, not only did the Gravity Spell not increase the gravity in this area, but it also counteracted the original gravity, allowing the two spider queens and the venom they spat to return to the stone wall at the top, effortlessly resolving the spider's fatal attack.
This method might sound very simple, but Tullius knew that the simpler the spell, the harder it was to produce changes. Her previous husband had once told her that the vast majority of the development of magic had been continuously perfected and improved. There was almost no room for improvement, and most mages only used them step by step, treating them as tools or weapons. Except for one kind of person — their use of magic was based on a complete understanding.
Their understanding of the elements was incomparably close to the origin, and they were already standing in front of that door. They were indiscriminately proficient in all types of magic, and there was almost no need for special practice. Any spell that fell into their hands could be changed at will according to the actual needs. They were people who had truly grasped magic. Perhaps only such people could be called mages.
But did such a genius really exist in this world?
Yes, her previous husband had told her with certainty that there really was such a person in this world. That person was in the Royal College of Magic and Magic. He had the talent that all mages dreamed of, and all the possibilities of magic. Before he appeared, even the craziest mage had never had such a fantasy.
"Roland founded the magic system. We juniors thought that no one could surpass him, but that child appeared. He might … no, he will definitely redefine magic. The respect that mages have for him is sincere, because we can see the arrival of a new era from him." When her husband said this, he raised the wine glass in his hand and shook it lightly in a distant direction. "All mages are quietly waiting for that day."
Tullius' heart trembled violently. She still couldn't connect this unknown fellow in front of her with that legendary existence. But if that wasn't the case, there was no way to explain his battle prowess that was beyond common sense. Also, from the looks of their ages, the two seemed to match.
But if it really was that person, why would he appear in Austria Grimm? Unless the Pope and the cardinals went crazy together, the Church would absolutely not dare to imprison the future of humanity, the direct disciple of the ninth grade supreme magus Steins, in the southern prison.
"We admit defeat." In the next moment, Tullius very straightforwardly threw away the dagger in her hand.
Wolf Head and Spider Head were shocked. Both sides had only exchanged a few blows and were still in the probing stage. They also admitted that the other party was indeed very strong, but their side's lineup wasn't weak either. The three of them working together might still have a fighting chance, so there was no reason for them to surrender so quickly.
However, Tullius was very clear that they hadn't used their full strength, and the opposite fellow had also used his full strength. If this continued, the ones who would lose would most likely still be the three of them. In her heart, she was already 70% sure that Rob was that existence, but she didn't say anything. This was also her cleverness.
Sometimes, knowing too much wasn't necessarily a good thing.
From the battle just now, she could already see that the other party didn't lie. He did indeed have the strength to destroy the Dark Hall, but he was still willing to sit down and negotiate. This proved that he didn't lie before. No matter what reason he came to Austria Grimm, it had nothing to do with the upcoming war.
Tullius had never liked the Stockbreeders. That fellow had always been disobedient. This time, he even abandoned everyone and fled. But if possible, she still didn't want him to die, because this would undoubtedly weaken the already weak strength of the underground world. But if the battle continued and they lost Spider or Wolf Head, the price would be even greater.
This was a very simple arithmetic problem, and Tullius quickly made her choice. "Two days is too short. Three days. Give us three days. We can definitely help you catch that guy. I also hope that Your Honor can keep his promise."
Wolf Head was still somewhat dissatisfied. "Tullius, do you really intend to believe this fellow?"
"No, but he's right. We don't have any other choice."
Wolf Head looked like he wanted to try again, but Tullius had already put down her weapon. With only the two of them left, they clearly weren't a match for the other party. Even if they were unwilling, there was nothing they could do. Spider snorted coldly and didn't say anything. He had suffered the greatest loss in this battle. Those small spiders weren't easy to breed, and they were all burned to ashes. Fortunately, the other party had been merciful and didn't kill the two spider queens.
