It was no secret that Owl was a summoner. However, no one knew that his summoning door was an elemental one.
Ever since he had become a Level 2 player, he had kept it a secret, even when he had been promoted to a Major General.
One after another, elemental creatures poured out of the summoning door like a storm. They whistled as they tore through the air. They surrounded Baimiya and Crescent Moon, making it impossible for them to care about Owl's battle.
"Little Yi!" Li Xiang called out softly.
Ji Xiaoyi understood. She summoned a mysterious substance formed from basic magic runes. A row of figurines based on Li Xiang and the others rose from her palms.
Her fingertips danced among the figurines. Soon, a dazzling curtain of light descended from above everyone's heads, enveloping them within.
By strengthening these figurines, Ji Xiaoyi could cast the same magic effect on Li Xiang and the others.
The mysterious substances that evolved from the bodies of players came in all shapes and sizes. Seeing Ji Xiaoyi's move, Li Xiang's face flashed with shock.
Several transparent light elementals crawled out of the summoning door and rushed toward Li Xiang.
Slash!
A crimson longsword pierced out of the shadows, picking up a few light elementals.
The longsword in Bai Ling's hand lit up with lines of runes. A crimson glow rose from it. The blade of the sword could no longer be seen. Layers of beautiful and complicated magic runes covered the surface of the sword. They were like ancient totems, opening and closing as if they had a life of their own.
This was the assassination tattoo she had received.
The light elementals struggled and roared under the blade of her sword before disappearing into nothingness.
On the other side, a few magic arrows were shot out from a hidden spot, nailing the elementals who had tried to ambush Li Xiang to the ground. The magic particles burned, instantly destroying the elementals.
Their combat styles were very different. However, they were able to cooperate so well in their first real battle. Owl could not help but be impressed.
Every generation had new talents, and the era of the middle generation was about to begin. At the same time, this new generation had officially stepped onto the stage of the players.
Even though he had an irreconcilable enmity with Li Xiang, Owl still had to admit that to be able to gather such a group of young people around him, he did indeed have prestige and strength that most young people could not reach.
An extremely strong threat came from behind. Owl's battle instinct that had been formed over the years made him pull in his stomach and move to the side without hesitation, dodging Li Xiang's fatal punch.
Unknowingly, Li Xiang had already left his original position and quietly arrived behind him.
The majestic power gave Owl the illusion that he was facing a player of the same level. Li Xiang's attack had failed, so he immediately retreated, not giving Owl a chance to counterattack. He felt that it was a pity.
Xiao deserved to be a general born at the bottom of the military headquarters. His combat instincts were amazingly sharp. Just now, he had clearly seized the opportunity when he was in a trance, but he still did not cause any substantial damage to him.
Moreover, he had a vague feeling that even if Owl had used his body to block the punch, it should not have been a big deal.
As the player's level increased, their ability to use and understand magic particles would undergo tremendous changes. At the same time, as a Magician, every time the magic runes in their possession evolved, they would also receive a huge increase in combat power.
This was not something that a Magician's leveling up could compare to.
Pouring power, punching, and bombarding. The whole set of movements just now was as smooth as flowing water. Li Xiang's perfect combat power after his advancement was incisively and vividly displayed. However, it was still futile.
Before this battle, he had only relied on the super strong physique after the fusion of the four major bloodlines to crush the combined forces of Fenix and Ji Ruoyu.
However, when faced with Owl, who had rich combat experience, everyone was still in a state of suppression.
The opened elemental summoning gate was still pouring out all kinds of elemental lifeforms. As time passed, powerful elemental lifeforms had already appeared. If this continued, sooner or later, they would encounter an Elemental Lord that was comparable to a player.
This was the most troublesome thing about Summoning Magicians. Their summoning gate could not be destroyed. As long as it existed, it would continuously summon the lifeforms inside. If one was unlucky, it might always be a group of small monsters. If one was lucky, one or two extremely high level summoned lifeforms would appear.
Although they could not summon lifeforms that were stronger than themselves, as long as another Owl level player appeared, they would have to consider retreating and running for their lives.
"Don't think too much. My elemental summoning gate is linked to my heart. This time, as long as I don't fall, it will not close." Owl strode forward. "Fight to your heart's content, Li Xiang!"
A Level-2 player against a Level-1 player. There seemed to be a great disparity in strength, but Owl was not a guardian or an assassin. He was a Summoning Magician. The difference in physique was almost zero. It was not impossible to win.
Li Xiang's face darkened. Ji Xiaoyi was doing her best to strengthen them and could not be distracted to fight Owl. The other four had already fallen into the sea of elemental lifeforms and would not be able to come out for a while.
If he had not called for their help, he would definitely not be a match for Owl one-on-one.
But now, there was still a chance.
He gripped Paradise of Ashes tightly and fired a thunderous shot at Owl.
A blue beam of light shot out. Owl seemed to have expected this shot. His body suddenly fell backward, and with a few rolls, he dodged Li Xiang's first shot.
This was a dodging technique that the military emphasized in training. Unexpectedly, he still practiced tirelessly after becoming a Major General. A person like this had a natural sensitivity to gun skills and was difficult to hit easily.
The prerequisite was that the person using the gun was not Li Xiang.
Li Xiang had the Mechanical Heart and the rare talent of Machinery Proficiency. His gun skills had already reached the point of perfection. After Owl made the first dodge, the second shot was instantly fired.
This time, all his escape routes were completely blocked.
The terrifying fluctuation of magic particles and an inexplicable throbbing made Owl not dare to underestimate his attack. With a wave of his hand, magic particles gathered together like a violent hurricane, condensing into a magic shield to protect his body.
With a rumbling sound, the small building in the courtyard was uprooted from the ground. It spun rapidly under the hurricane and scattered into a pile of debris. Only the metal mechanical skeleton was still stuck in the ground, not uprooted.
Gravel filled the sky, blocking everyone's line of sight.
The Hall of Annihilation's attack landed on the Magic Shield, and a strange scene unfolded.
The indestructible magic particles seemed to have met their natural enemy and quickly disintegrated. It was not the usual appearance of being destroyed, but annihilated into nothingness under the blue light.
This shot had purified all the magic particles!
"What is this? Is this a Disaster weapon?! " Owl looked at the Paradise of Ashes in Li Xiang's hand and a trace of fear flashed through his heart. It was not that he had never seen a Disaster weapon before. It was the strongest equipment for human players to resist disasters, but he had never seen a weapon like this that could annihilate magic particles.
This meant that if he was hit by that shot, the magic particles flowing in his body would also disappear, right?
He suddenly remembered the rumor that Finis had become a cripple. After leaving the player assessment, this once proud son of the Ogheim family had been locked up in his room. It was said that he was completely crippled by Li Xiang.
At first, Owl thought that the double blow of not being able to become a player and losing the battle had caused Fenix to be unable to pull himself together. Only now did he understand that it was nothing else but a literal crippling.
If even magic particles were gone, how could he fight?
He did not completely avoid the shot.
Owl felt a slight numbness in his left arm. When he looked closely, he found that the skin on the back of his hand had split open, and traces of dark golden aura were flowing out of the wounds. It was actually quietly eating away at his magic particles.
Crack!
He decisively tore off the skin on his hand. Immediately, blood dripped out, but it also brought out the dark golden energy.
The skin on the ground was burned to ashes, and even the magic particles in the air nearby turned into light spots and disappeared.
"Good, can this gun of yours destroy our foundation?" Owl revealed a ferocious smile. "If this gets out, do you know what kind of treatment you will face?"
"It would be great if it could really purify you indiscriminately. Unfortunately, as you have seen just now. Even if it grazes your body, the purifying attack can no longer penetrate deep into your bone marrow and invade your flesh. " Li Xiang shook his head. Even with the dark golden energy, it could only barely penetrate the wound and slowly corrode it. It could not go any further.
"So there is a difference in strength." Owl smiled and relaxed a little. But thinking about it, if there was really no difference in purification, then what about Level 9? One shot and it would be gone.
It seemed that this strange sniper rifle also had an effect on the enemy's strength. A quasi-player like Fenix would naturally not be able to withstand a shot, but a Level 2 player like him would not be completely purified unless he was hit in a fatal spot.
But even at this level, it was scary enough. When Li Xiang grew into a high-level player, he would be a nightmare for many people.
The two of them did not say anything more and collided into each other. After a loud bang, the fire beacon and the blue light flashed alternately. It was as beautiful as summer flowers blooming, and then they were annihilated in the void one by one.
Li Xiang's body was sent flying violently, crashing into the broken wall behind him. The blood drained from his face, and he was so pale that he was almost transparent.
This head-on collision was a contest of strength and speed. In this aspect, he had always been very confident. From the battle strength that Owl had shown before, the two of them were evenly matched.
But the moment they collided, the strength on Owl's side suddenly doubled, causing him to suffer a great loss. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and half of his chest caved in.
Owl was not in a good state either. During the collision, his body had been burned by the purifying attack of the Paradise of Annihilation. At this moment, his blood was boiling, and countless powerful energies entered his body. It was a blue transparent substance, different from the Source Particles. It did not seem to belong to this world.
It was this substance that disintegrated the magic particles and could easily consume the Source Particles. The other dark golden energy was also very difficult to deal with. Everywhere it went, it left a mess.
He had to constantly mobilize the magic particles to neutralize the energy that had invaded his body.
Under this attack, Owl's left hand was completely crippled. It shrunk and curled up like an earthworm. It just hung there, unable to move.
At the cost of an arm, Owl's hidden power was completely unleashed in an instant. This was a suicidal strengthening spell.
According to the law of diminishing extremes, summoning Magicians could also learn strengthening spells, but the effect was average. After all, it was not Origin Magic. Therefore, very few Magicians would really learn other types of magic that were different from their basic magic runes.
This was a thankless task.
But there was also a type of person who would learn it. They learned this kind of suicidal spell that could kill a thousand enemies but hurt eight hundred of their own. They would use it at a critical moment to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
After using it, they would also suffer a great impact. Many of the injuries were irreversible, so no one would use it unless it was the last moment.
Owl had endured until now, waiting for this moment. The first time he used his full strength, he would use this strengthening spell. In an instant, his strength would double and completely defeat Li Xiang.
This tactic seemed simple, but it was also based on his experience.
From the beginning of the layout to the summoning gate to the final thunderous attack with strength, Owl had perfectly interpreted the battle strategy of a mature player. He would never show his trump card until the last moment.
Li Xiang staggered up and failed several times.
His chest near his heart was all caved in. Even if his body was extremely strong, he could not withstand Owl's doubled strength.
It was because he knew that players could not easily burst out the power of a higher level like Magicians. He was especially careful that Owl might use some summoning spells and was always on guard. However, he never thought that he would have such a trump card.
It was a fight that was close to mutual destruction.
Another mouthful of blood was spat out.
The light of the summoning gate was weakening. Owl's luck was really bad, just like his life.
Until now, not a single Lord-level elemental creature had appeared. The summoning gate could only rely on a large number of summoned creatures to delay the others.
At this moment, half of Owl's body was hanging down. The price of that attack was spreading. His strength was almost halved. It was basically impossible for him to kill the others. If he continued fighting, he would definitely be killed.
He was dead for sure.
But looking at Li Xiang struggling to get up from the ruins, he felt that everything was worth it.
"Don't waste your strength, Li Xiang." Owl looked at him coldly. "I know that you have the super regeneration ability of Calamity, so I deliberately mixed in a supportive spell that is extremely harmful to Calamity in this attack."
Yes, he had also deliberately learned a supportive spell, but it was not for the possible civil war between players.
It was a special supportive spell that he had learned not long after he had become a player. He was full of enthusiasm and thought that he would have the opportunity to go to the Great Wall of Calamity to fight in the future.
After learning it, he could transform the magic particles in his body into substances that were extremely harmful to Calamity. If he died, even if he self-destructed, he could still drag some enemies down with him.
At that time, he was pure, confident, and eager to make a name for himself as a human player and become someone like the Top Ten Army Gods.
But in the end, he did not go to the Great Wall of Calamity and did not participate in that kind of battle. The magic that he had learned to deal with Calamity was used on a junior in the end!
Li Xiang felt it when he was hit. This special substance would greatly slow down the speed of super regeneration, making it impossible for him to recover in a short time.
Looking at Owl, Li Xiang raised Paradise of Annihilation and aimed it at himself.
