The second round of battle between Mia and Vidomina began with Vidomina holding a scroll in her hand, but instead of activating it, she chose to cast a level-5 spell enchanted on her Saint Quartz Staff. However, Mia, strangely enough, chose to forgo the use of her scroll and equipment, and instead, cast the defensive spell that the Archmage had prepared for her — Barrier Barrier. With that, Mia managed to block the spell that most people did not recognize. Once again, it seemed like the two of them were tied.
Another round of applause rang out from the audience. Vidomina had feinted with the scroll in her hand before casting her ultimate spell, but it was as if Mia had read Vidomina's mind. Her attack had failed, and the students in the audience saw a glimmer of hope for Mia to turn the tables.
"She blocked a level-5 spell! Good job, Mia! Just hang in there! Keep up the good work, Mia! Don't lose to some random transfer student! "Many people were shouting similar words.
However, there were also people who were worried about Mia. "But won't Mia be forced into a passive position? If I'm not mistaken, the spell that Mia cast was the Church's Barrier Barrier, right? Won't she be suppressed? "
The Shield Barrier had been publicized by the church a long time ago. It was the kind of spell that anyone could learn if they wanted to, but most people wouldn't learn it unless it was absolutely necessary. Although the defensive effects of this spell were pretty good, and it could even protect their teammates, there were many drawbacks, especially the fact that it needed to be continuously cast. It would cause the next spell to be a beat slower than the opponent's, and they wouldn't even have time to retract their mana and mind power before the next round of attacks arrived, making it very difficult to play with them.
In the eyes of the audience, Mia had chosen this spell for the sake of glory. However, the expression of the old man in the corner did not look as relaxed as he had expected. Instead, he looked even more serious than before. He had already noticed that something was wrong.
"Huh? Wait a minute. Something's not right. Both of them seemed to be casting channeling spells that required continuous casting!!! If that's the case, then Mia's choice is absolutely correct! "One of the students suddenly shouted, letting the audience see the situation clearly.
It turned out that the level-5 spell enchanted on the Saint Quartz Staff was a very rare spell — Gravity Suppression! As the name suggested, it greatly increased the gravitational force on the target. Although it would not cause any damage, it would make it impossible for the opponent to raise their hands in surrender, let alone cast a spell.
At the same time, this spell did not have any visual effects, and it was a non-elemental spell. There was no corresponding Elemental Shield to offset it, and one could only rely on Mana Shield and Energy Shield to defend against it. Moreover, because it was a spell that was continuously cast and effective, it could quickly consume the opponent's Mana Shield and Energy Shield. It was really very insidious. Finally, very few people had seen this spell before, and they could not distinguish the magical waves, making it impossible to guard against it.
If this kind of spell was used in the arena for intermediate students, it would really be a super killing weapon! That was how Vidomina's opponent fell for it. It was no wonder that she lost so quickly even though she had fought her way to the semifinals.
Even so, Mia was still able to block such a sinister attack. This made the students cheer for her. Even though they did not know what kind of spell Vidomina had cast, they were not stingy with their applause. The fact that Vidomina was able to use a continuous defensive spell to counter a continuous offensive spell was enough to make her choice and make a good judgment in itself.
However, the thing that troubled the Immortal Level old man was not that Mia could defend against that spell. Vidomina had used that spell before, so it was not surprising that the Soul Armature would notice it and pay attention to it. What puzzled him the most was how Mia was able to defend herself from the killer move with the least amount of effort.
She knew that we had a Silence Spell that could decide the outcome of the match, but she still forced herself to chant an impractical barrier? Why didn't she defend against my Silence Spell? Why did she block the Gravity Suppression without using any equipment? At that moment, the old man really wanted to grab Baiyi's neck and ask him about the doubts in his heart.
According to the script that he had made up in his mind, it was not a problem for Mia to not defend against the Silence Spell. To be exact, it did not matter whether she defended against it or not. For an Intermediate Level sorcerer to defend against a special spell like the Silence Spell, they could only use a Dispel Magic Scroll in advance or use a magical tool.
That was why Mia would be at a disadvantage no matter what choice she made. If she defended against the Silence Spell in the first place, it would mean that her defense would be ineffective and she would be forced to activate the defensive spell on her equipment. However, the energy shield on her equipment could not be replenished in time. That would be equivalent to using one of Mia's trump cards and seizing the initiative of the battle.
If you don't defend against the first attack, it's fine. But then, you have to defend against the second attack, right? Even if you don't defend against it and decide to rely on your equipment to solve the problem, you should at least take the initiative to attack and seize the initiative, right? As long as she attacked, the Gravity Suppression that she could not defend against would completely deplete the energy shield on her equipment and Mia would still be at a disadvantage.
However, the result was that Mia did not care about the Silence Spell at all. She acted as if it did not exist and perfectly dealt with the old man's trap with the smallest cost. On the other hand, Vidomina was the one who wasted her Psychic Energy. She could only cast a Level Five spell twice and now she only had one left. After two rounds of battle, it was Vidomina who was at a disadvantage.
Such a result made the old man feel both angry and uneasy. Is Vidomina really going to lose? He shook his head slightly. Even if she was at a disadvantage now, it was obvious that Vidomina had more than just this trump card. There were still many chances for her to win, especially the last trump card. That was something that was not fancy at all. Her opponent would definitely not be able to guess it.
However, if she was forced to use that trick, it would be no different from losing. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Vidomina would definitely not use that trick. So, the main question was, why did Mia ignore the Silence Spell?
Even the Archmage who was in the Void asked Baiyi curiously, "This is the strategy that you arranged for the little girl, right? How are you so sure that she won't use the Silence Spell? "
"How could this be arranged by me? Is your student that weak? " Baiyi retorted, "If it was really arranged by me, I would've directly attacked in the second round. I would've used the scroll and the Ice Spell on the staff to break her shield and then I would've used the Slime Spray on her face. I don't believe that she would dare to continue using the Gravity Spell."
"This is definitely not a problem. It's much more proactive than Mia's choice. But this Slime Spray … Isn't that little girl quite pretty and cute? Don't you think it's a little inappropriate? "The Explorer interjected.
It's exactly because the opponent is also a beautiful girl that the Slime Spray is especially useful! I don't believe that there would be any beautiful girl who would use her face to catch that disgusting white slime …
The Archmage spoke up for him, "The Slime Spray is a very good choice. It's fast and effective. It can also be released before the opponent's Gravity Spell so there's no problem with that. I'm just curious. Are you really not afraid of the opponent using the Silence Spell? Or do you have some kind of equipment prepared? But I remember that it's very difficult to find equipment that can counter the Silence Spell, right? I don't think you have time to prepare. "
"How could I not have any preparation? What do you think the hammerhead shark plushie is used for? If Mia is really hit by the Silence Spell, she can just take out the plushie. Okay, game over, "Baiyi said casually.
In a sense, he was indeed prepared. In fact, it was the most thorough preparation. In fact, when he was feeding the little girl in the afternoon, Baiyi really wanted to tell her to just take out the hammerhead shark plushie and win the battle. But then again, he thought that it would be pointless to do so. It would be better to let the little girl play on her own.
So in the end, he only told Mia what the opponent might use and how she could deal with it. The rest was up to Mia to decide for herself. After all, this was her own battle after all.
I wonder what the old man would think when he finds out the truth …
Just like that, in the third and fourth round, Mia's side suffered a small loss, allowing Vidomina to regain the initiative. The little girl was forced to stand on the spot and support the barrier, patiently waiting for the opportunity to turn the tables.
'Tsk tsk, I still don't have enough experience. I can't beat the Immortal Level old man's tricks.' Baiyi thought to himself. He was not worried at all. Instead, he sighed. 'This barrier is really sturdy. It can block anything …'
"My student, you have to correct your mistake again!" The Archmage's majestic voice suddenly rang out in the Void, "The name of this spell should be Simulacrum Expansion, The Foundation of Human Truth, not Barrier Barrier! You should respect your teacher's right to name it! "
'So you're seriously correcting such an insignificant thing? Shouldn't you be more concerned about Mia's condition first? Baiyi complained helplessly.
"You're her teacher. If you're not worried, why should I be? Besides, you've already told her the secret of the plushie. There's no reason for her to lose. " The Archmage retorted, "But isn't she angry that you've done something behind her back because she loves that plushie so much?"
"Because I didn't say that I did anything! I only said that the hammerhead shark plushie is her lucky charm. She can ask for its protection when she's in danger, just like that night two years ago, "Baiyi replied.
