The sky was filled with purple arcane magic. The dazzling arcane light formed an arcane magic net in the sky. Numerous magic missiles were born on the net and then scattered.
"… Silence."
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Rorschach's mind. In the end, he made such a passive choice.
"Silence?"
Everyone was astonished within their magic armors. Silence meant that they shouldn't do anything, not defend, not attack, not dodge, and just stand there and let them attack? And it was the most accurate arcane magic attack of all?
Miranda Sophie was a rank 5 Legend, a Legend-ranked archmage who specialized in arcane magic. She was the leader of the Mayflower Rain Squadron. If they were directly attacked by her, they would definitely die.
* Boom! *
* Boom! *
In the end, Rorschach's order was carried out. Everyone silently watched as the explosion occurred right next to them.
But the result was that the explosion's power was astonishingly weak, and the accuracy was almost zero. Only some trees and grass were destroyed.
"As expected, they're only probing. They can only use low-energy test shots to test us. Speed up, everyone, start running."
Soon, Rorschach received proof of his guess.
A minute later, the same purple meteorite flew over their heads and exploded in an area not far away.
"Rorschach's choice was correct. This should have been an arcane homing bullet with preset conditions. But, even Miranda wouldn't be able to lock on to her target in such a long-distance and AOE attack. At most, she'd set a simple preset condition to track a large, fast-moving object … She should have turned on her magic radar to see the reaction after the attack. You all chose to remain silent.
The only mage in the team explained. However, Rorschach felt that something was wrong when he heard Isabella's rare serious voice.
"How's the situation over there?"
"You didn't even let me get close. How could I see clearly? How about I show you a wave of attacks? I'm confident."
"… You stay silent as well. You're not allowed to attack until we're there. Just obediently hide in the clouds for me. "
Putting down the communicator, Rorschach nodded silently. Very good, looking for trouble when there was nothing to do. If there was trouble, one had to make it big. This was the real Isabella, not an imposter.
"Time …"
The audience outside the arena had already quietened down. They were all focused on this battle. The emcee's commentary was on point, completely analyzing the current situation.
Now, it was a race against time.
The later May Rain's forces were discovered, the more advantageous the situation would be for Rorschach's side. If Rorschach's forces were discovered at the last second, May Rain wouldn't even be able to use her signature bombardment tactic to avoid friendly fire.
"He's here!"
Suddenly, a strange sense of uneasiness rose from the bottom of Rorschach's heart, as if someone was spying on him.
Exposed? In the sky, the bombardment that descended once again confirmed Rorschach's judgment.
This time, it was no longer a probing attack. Purple radiance, white ice, scorching flames, and white holy flames that could destroy everything. The four-colored rainbow attacks arrived.
"Finally! Boult! "
The lion warrior's crimson magic armor suddenly stepped forward and viciously slammed his tower shield, which was embedded with an axe symbol, into the ground. The next instant, a medium-sized force field shield enveloped everyone with the tower shield as the core.
* Boom! Boom! *
Violent explosions rang out right next to everyone's ears. Every time there was an explosion, Boult's Totem Warrior (defensive type) would be forcefully slammed into the ground.
Passively taking a beating wasn't a good idea. However, Rorschach still didn't give any orders for the next step.
Rorschach's eyes were closed as if he was sleeping in his magic armor's control room. However, his magic armor's various stats were off the charts. More than 70% of his magic armor's energy was being supplied to his nervous system.
Rorschach suddenly moved. He reached out with his hand and clenched it in midair, then pulled. Right after that, everyone suddenly heard a strange female scream … or perhaps it was more accurate to say that it was a scream before death.
"… Let's continue moving. They've probably lost track of us."
Rorschach's voice was filled with exhaustion. However, now obviously wasn't the time to explain. Boult continued to raise his shield and maintain his force field shield while everyone started moving.
As expected, the attack waves were much weaker than before. It was even obvious that they had lost their accuracy.
"What did he do?"
Right now, not only were Rorschach's classmates asking this question, even the audience was filled with curiosity and doubt as they watched Su Xinqi roll around on the ground in pain while clutching her head.
But this time, the master of ceremonies, who seemed to know everything, didn't give any explanation … Even he didn't know what had happened.
"That little girl's courage is truly commendable. She actually dared to directly pull on the strings of fate of a wood spirit's son who's' diligent '. She even attempted to enter the heart of a wood spirit's descendant who's awakened a high-level racial talent … Relax, if she's not dead or insane, I'll heal her."
In other words, Rorschach was implying that she might have already gone insane or even died?
"Diligent" Rosa's smile on the stands made every spectator instinctively feel fear. This was especially so for the mages. They finally remembered a common fact: unless you didn't want to live anymore, you should never try to touch the soul and fate of a wood spirit who was diligent. Wood spirits' egos were wrapped up in fatal poisonous thorns.
And right now, Rorschach wasn't having a good time either.
"As expected, that Su Xinqi is not only an item-seeking clairvoyant, she's also a psionic warlock. Or to use Earth's term … a psychic?"
Su Xinqi had always been the commander of May Rain's cannons, and she also had another outstanding veteran prophecy mage. Rorschach didn't believe that she could only rely on her item-seeking ability. Not to mention, the accuracy of her item-seeking ability was also a problem.
Rorschach judged that Rosa definitely had other hidden methods of investigation. She would only use them when she couldn't use any other methods.
Rorschach had actually been waiting this entire time. He was gambling … He was gambling that when the situation wasn't clear, his opponent wouldn't forcefully investigate anyone else. Instead, she would investigate him, who was the most important person to her. If that was the case, then Rosa's special training and information would be effective.
What did Rorschach do? Actually, it wasn't as scary as Rosa made it out to be. After all, the evil wood spirits' pranks were also famous in the mortal plane. Rorschach didn't have the wood spirits' original talent for diligence. He didn't have the soul's thorns poison either.
However, Rorschach didn't know what the soul's thorns poison of a diligent wood spirit were after all.
"Fragments of stubbornness, memory fragments, and extreme emotions are enough to create a powerful virtual personality. As long as an invader's soul attaches itself to the soul, the invader's mind will instantly split, and the invader will either die or go insane."
The wood spirits' talent for diligence allowed them to ignore all impurities in the soul. Thorns poison was ineffective against them, which was why they could be placed in the soul's soul as an additional layer of protection.
Rorschach didn't have the talent for diligence, but he was indeed capable of creating a soul's poison. Of course, the poison wouldn't be as strong as the original version.
When Su Xinqi forcefully invaded Rorschach's soul, just like in training, Rorschach's talent for "Honesty" came into effect and opened up both their souls!
Fine, I'll be honest with you, but you must be honest with me as well.
Rorschach's talent for diligence, "Honesty", didn't have a soul's protective layer or the ability to create thorns poison. However, once he gave up on his defensive abilities, he could turn any soul invasion or fate manipulation ability into a direct link spell.
At this instant, Rorschach grasped his opponent's position. He then unhesitatingly tossed his opponent a library of real college entrance exam questions … That's right, the entire library contained about half a ton of exam questions, as well as the evil Math Olympiad and advanced Math Olympiad questions. Everything was beyond the syllabus.
Then, Rorschach was afraid that this seemingly shy girl was really a super genius, so he gave her a 360-gigabyte movie with heavy tastes, mainly about the elves … In a way, Rorschach was really going all out to get a psionic warlock to fill his mind with so many random things.
Rorschach was currently rubbing his temples. He was having a splitting headache from using up too much of his mental energy. This was a gamble. He was betting that this girl would risk her life and reveal her strongest trump card, and that she would come looking for him. But now, it seemed that he had won the gamble.
"Su Xinqi's threat should be gone for the time being. Let's speed up."
"… Doesn't that mean that we have plenty of time to prepare?"
Logically speaking, there was nothing wrong with this judgment. However, Rorschach's calculations showed that the current situation wasn't so.
