Although the scene in his field of vision was a little strange, Dorcas wasn't stupid. He almost immediately understood the meaning of the green cursor.
He was using the green arrow to tell her where Witch Sharon was right now.
Now that he knew where Sharon was, the next step was simple. As long as he could force Sharon out of her stealth mode, victory would be within reach.
But …
As Dorcas was about to make his move, his right eye suddenly flashed with a green light. At the same time, several rows of floating green words appeared in his vision.
These lines of green words were still floating above Witch Sharon's head. They were placed next to the thick and large green arrow, creating a rather interesting contrast.
[Speed Spirit's clone is inside her substitute item. Find a way to force her to use Substitution. ]
Perhaps he was afraid that Dorcas didn't know what a Substitution Technique or Substitution Object was.
Angor also kindly added a list of knowledge related to Substitution below the book.
After reading the information, Dorcas understood what Angor meant.
Victory was not the goal. Forcing Witch Sharon to use a substitution spell was the most important thing right now.
Moreover, Dorcas could deduce from the various limitations of the substitution spell that Witch Sharon could not cast it five times in a row. Therefore, he didn't just need to find a way to force Sharon to use Substitution. He also needed to find a way to force Sharon to use the spell as many times as possible within the limited time.
In other words, he also needed to master "speed".
Angor didn't give him an answer as to how to do that. Dorcas had to figure it out himself.
"I haven't seen any benefits yet, and he's already trying to squeeze me dry. Why do I feel like my future is so bleak?" Dorcas silently sighed in his heart, but very quickly, he tossed his resentment to the side and began to seriously consider the countermeasures he could come up with.
There wasn't much time left for Dorcas.
He had to make a decision as soon as possible.
If he let Sharon use a powerful space spell, it would be his turn to die.
Only one second had passed in the outside world, but Dorcas's mind had already gone through hundreds of different scenarios.
Still, he didn't have enough time. It would be difficult to come up with a perfect plan in such a short time. Dorcas decided to take it one step at a time.
Right now, he had a huge advantage over Sharon. Angor gave him a secret aid: Pointing Arrow.
He could quickly find Witch Sharon's location, but Witch Sharon still didn't know that she had been exposed.
Using this information gap, Dorcas began the first step of his plan: deceit.
Dorcas didn't look in the direction of the green arrow. Instead, he kept looking back and forth, as if he was looking for Witch Sharon.
But soon, Dorcas realized that this wasn't going to work, so he changed his strategy.
Instead, he jumped into the air.
. and looked down, he swung his fists at the arena..
Although Dorcas was a few dozen meters away from the ring, every time he punched, it was like a bolt of lightning striking the ground, causing the ring to constantly shake.
"This is … a saturation attack." Witch Sharon immediately saw through Dorcas's thoughts.
Since he couldn't find her, he would use this kind of indiscriminate, full-coverage saturated attack to force her out.
This method could be used to deal with other types of Magi.
But dealing with her, this was undoubtedly a foolish decision.
She was a Space Sorcerer. Her current state of concealment was definitely not a simple form of invisibility, but a special type of deep space.
If Dorcas wanted to use this method to force her out, he had to make each of his attacks strong enough to break through the space.
In other words, Dorcas had to use his full strength for each attack.
If he only threw punches one by one, Dorcas would still have time to recover. But now, his punches were so powerful that they looked like shadows. It would be a miracle if he could hold on for half a minute.
To find her in half a minute and break into the deep space outside was definitely a difficult task.
Unless Dorcas was lucky enough to find her hiding place within a few punches.
But was that possible?
Sharon didn't think it was possible. Maybe fate didn't favor her. Before she could give up on this idea, she saw Dorcas's punch was already ten meters away from her.
He didn't hit her directly, but the huge energy wave created ripples that completely covered her location.
When these ripples came into contact with the deep space, they became sluggish.
It was this bit of sluggishness that made Dorcas's eyes light up. "Found you!"
Dorcas roared, and countless blood auras surrounded his body. Then, he pulled out the thin sword at his waist and stabbed towards Witch Sharon like a bolt of lightning.
Sharon didn't expect Dorcas to be so lucky. He actually found her so quickly.
Her space spell hadn't even been completed yet.
Seeing Dorcas rush towards her like a rainbow, Sharon had no choice but to forcefully stop the spatial energy she had gathered. She used her talent, "Rapid Transformation," to convert this energy into other spells.
Rapid Transformation was something she had inherited through her bloodline after killing that cheap teacher of hers. It wasn't the complete version. It could only convert high-energy energy to low-energy energy.
In other words, what she had gathered was a "spell." Because she was interrupted midway, she could only use her talent to convert it into a low-level "spell."
This spell conversion talent didn't seem like a good deal, but it was a godly skill in a real battle.
This was because if one was interrupted in the middle of casting a spell, they would either lose all the energy they had gathered or suffer a backlash from the spell … neither of these outcomes were good, especially when the backlash from the spell was so severe that even death was considered a light consequence.
However, through her talent, Rapid Transformation, she could convert the gathered energy into other spells! Though the effects of these spells weren't as good as spells, they were still much better than wasting energy. Most importantly, they could prevent the spell from backfiring.
This was the main reason why Sharon hated that cheap teacher so much. She had to endure the discomfort in her heart and inherit his bloodline talent.
Back to the current situation.
Witch Sharon was a little conflicted as to what spell she should use after using Speed Shift again.
It would be best if this spell could allow her to successfully dodge Dorcas' attacks and create some special effects.
The first thing she thought of was the Air Curtain.
However, the Air Curtain was more effective against bare-handed attacks. But now, Dorcas didn't care about martial ethics. He had picked up a rapier, and the Air Curtain alone couldn't block the sharp tip of the rapier.
Thus, the Air Curtain wasn't the best choice. As for the other spells … she couldn't think of any that were too useful.
This wasn't her fault. The main reason was that spatial spells didn't make up much of the public spells to begin with. Those special spatial spells were mostly self-created by spatial adepts. They would only be passed down within their own school of thought. It was very difficult for outsiders to learn them.
However, her luck was already quite good. At the very least, she had a few spatial spells that she was good at. Take a look at Eckstedt. He had very few spells and spells. You could count them on one hand.
This was the tragedy of the rare spells of the mystical side.
Speaking of which, since she couldn't use the Air Curtain, she only had one more spell to choose from.
Witch Sharon did not hesitate. She cast a substitution spell without hesitation.
A giant stone pillar with a human face appeared out of thin air and was pierced through by Dorcas' sword. Sharon's figure, however, was nowhere to be found.
If it was before, Dorcas might have wondered where Sharon went. But now that he knew the effects of Substitution, he no longer had any doubts.
Substitution could not only replace injuries, but also consume the space energy inside the substitute, which would disturb the surrounding space and allow the caster to enter a hidden state. In other words, the caster would enter deep space.
There was no doubt that Witch Sharon had escaped into deep space after using the substitution technique.
But she couldn't have gone far. The entire arena was covered by illusions. Besides, Sharon's space gate was still on the arena. She couldn't have gone far.
So, he just had to keep looking around the arena.
As for the search for Sharon … Dorcas didn't bother to do it himself, so he left it to Angor.
The only thing he needed to do now was to prepare for his second step.
His first step was to "deceive". His second step was to "act".
…
"She ran away again. Running around like a rat in an underground sewer." Dorcas sneered and looked around. "Why don't you use what you did to the other wizards?
"Or are you saying that you don't dare to fight anymore without the contract?"
"How about I say it now? Why don't you play a game with me? Don't worry, there's no contract in my game. It's about who's stronger. "
Dorcas' words echoed around the arena.
Of course, Sharon heard it. But she didn't care. She was much better at trash-talking than Dorcas.
She would do the same if she had the upper hand.
Compared to all this trash talk, Witch Sharon was more concerned about something else. Had Dorcas' Satiation Attack hit her with a premeditated attack, or was it just pure luck?
At first, she thought it was pure luck. But when she thought about it carefully, she realized something was wrong.
The arena was so big. How did Dorcas hit her with just two punches?
Moreover, she had another guess. After all, Dorcas was a Prophecy Magus …
While Witch Sharon was thinking, Dorcas's voice continued to ring out, "Do you think I can't find you if you hide in a dark corner? I'm telling you, it's useless.
Don't forget that I'm a Prophet! "
Dorcas yelled at the top of his lungs.
It was a good thing that Angor used an illusion to conceal the area around the arena. Otherwise, the wizards outside would laugh their heads off if they heard what Dorcas said.
"Watch out for my Green Arrow Prophecy!" Dorcas yelled again and closed his eyes. Waves of energy ripples spread out from his body. It looked like he was really casting some kind of prophecy spell.
From Sharon's point of view, this wasn't an act.
As for what this' Green Arrow Divination 'spell was, Witch Sharon had never heard of it before. She didn't think too much about it either. There were too many schools of divination, and each of them was mysterious. It wasn't unusual for some obscure divination spells to appear.
The only thing that bothered Sharon was that she seemed to be wrong. She was probably lucky to be discovered.
When Dorcas cast a prophecy spell, there would be obvious energy ripples, and it would take time.
Dorcas didn't use any prophecy at all. He was just using brute force.
Her discovery last time had nothing to do with Dorcas' prophecy. It was probably just a matter of luck.
As for this time, Witch Sharon didn't know if Dorcas' divination spell would be able to predict her location, but she was already prepared to cast a substitution spell.
She didn't try to create a high-level light shield this time because she didn't know how long it would take for Dorcas to cast his prophecy. If the casting time was short and Dorcas could really predict her position, then wouldn't she be interrupted again and waste a lot of spatial energy?
That was why Witch Sharon had prepared a substitution spell to greet Dorcas.
She only used it twice so far, so she wasn't at her limit yet.
…
What Sharon didn't expect was that everything in Dorcas' vision was already digitized.
[Speed Clone Recovery Progress: 2/6]
[Nice job! ]
Dorcas looked at the information in front of him and felt something strange.
When the digitized information appeared in his vision, he felt like he was separated from the real world.
Especially when the green arrowheads showed him the way, allowing him to once again see the silhouette of the person with the thick and large green arrowheads, the sense of disorientation was even more pronounced.
However, Dorcas was still an official Magus, and he quickly controlled his thoughts. He only mumbled, "Just praising him isn't enough …"
He then turned his attention back to Witch Sharon.
At this moment, Witch Sharon was still hiding in deep space. However, under the guidance of Angor's arrow, her hiding place was revealed to everyone.
Unlike before, Angor added a new note above Sharon's head.
[She's not like before. She's not casting a spell this time. Seems like she's observing your 'prophecy'. ]
This meant that Dorcas could do whatever he wanted this time. Don't worry about running out of time.
Previously, Sharon was hiding in the dark to cast a space spell. Dorcas didn't know what kind of spell it was, but he knew it would be bad for him. He had to find Sharon as soon as possible to prevent her from casting the spell.
But this time, he could tell that Sharon was not preparing any spells, which meant he had a lot more time to prepare.
It was because of this information that Dorcas could be at ease and boldly "act".
Threatening words, green arrow prophecy … they were all for show.
The purpose of the play was to divert Witch Sharon's attention.
