Chapter 1454: Pig Teammates, All Captured

~7 min read 1,394 words

At the same time, the Spell Source Point that Xia Duo had constructed outside the 【Anti-Magic Domain】 was also interfered with and damaged. Of course, Xia Duo did not expect to be able to take down these few Elven Mages on the opposite side easily; before he could even initiate the conflict, the other side had already pulled him into a close-range struggle of Spell Elements.

The Elven Mages mainly used the already-formed Force Wall between the two sides as a starting point, extending more complex spell structures from it, attempting to restrain or perhaps take down Xia Duo through this method.

It was just like playing Go; the Elven Mages had the first-move advantage, having already occupied half of the star points, setting the tone for the direction of the upcoming battle.

And Xia Duo, for the time being, could only respond passively like this.

But compared to long-range confrontations with formed spells, Xia Duo was more proficient and more confident in this kind of close-range struggle of Spell Elements.

Additionally, he had one very significant advantage: he was very knowledgeable about Elven Magic, while these few Elven Mages almost certainly knew little about Netheril Magic.

Even if the other side had eight Elves, he was not afraid in the slightest.

Of course, if the other side had one more veteran Mage, he might have to run away now; at present, the other side only had two veteran Mages, so even with Joint Casting, they could not form a qualitative change.

Under these circumstances, the remaining few Elite Mages were entirely just spellcasting tools for the two leading veteran Mages, and they could not play much of a role.

In fact, when those two veteran Mages chose a close-range struggle of Spell Elements, the result of this battle was already doomed.

If it were just a friendly sparring match, perhaps they would still have a chance to escape, but now that Xia Duo was determined to take them down, he would not give them any chance at all.

Inside the Green Vine Ancestral Hall, as more and more Magic Net Strings were affected by the spellcasting of both the humans and the Elves, the "chessboard" of this "chess game" also became larger and larger.

Although for the moment, apart from the Force Wall that the Elven Mages had successfully erected at the very beginning, no formed spells had appeared from either side.

But the elements themselves were equivalent to individual spell units, and although the vast majority of them were related to elements and energy, they still caused great destruction to this Green Vine Ancestral Hall.

After just a moment of fighting, the roof of the entire hall had already been scattered by the chaotic Element Turbulence, and the surrounding stone walls also began to become loose and dilapidated.

Only the green vine on the Central Altar in the middle of the hall emitted a dismal Magic Aura and connected with those few Elven Mages, seemingly having also become some kind of spellcasting tool.

And the anomaly here at the Ancestral Spirit Hall also triggered quite a bit of chaos in the Green Vine Tribe; for the Langasi, the Ancestral Spirits were almost like Faith itself.

At this moment, with the Ancestral Spirit Hall collapsing, how could the people of the Green Vine Tribe sit still? Especially the group of Shamans among them, who were even more anxious.

"Great Shaman, these Elves actually led the Netherese to the Ancestral Spirit Hall; this is truly too much!" a young Shaman said with a face full of indignation.

But there was not the slightest change on the face of the Green Vine Great Shaman, who remained as calm as usual, though in his heart, he looked at the young Shaman with some pity and sighed secretly.

Looking again at the location where the Ancestral Spirit Hall originally stood, the two warring sides were shrouded in a chaotic Element Turbulence, looking as if they did not belong to the same world as the normal environment outside.

But that piece of Element Turbulence, while seemingly chaotic, contained some unknown laws and seemed to be controlled by the two warring sides.

It allowed one to see at a glance that it was divided into two distinct camps.

It's just that the Elven side doesn't seem to have the advantage!

The Great Shaman sighed again in his heart and said to an older Shaman beside him: "This Netherese is very powerful, and he is an enemy, not a friend; we need to help the Elves."

"Is it okay not to help? These Elves aren't good things either. Let them fight to the death; as long as the Moonshadow Family still needs us, what does it matter if a few Elves die?"

"You! Do you think the Moonshadow Family needs us? What they truly need is a group of dogs to die for them! It just so happens they chose us. Don't say such things again in the future; the Moonshadow Family might not care, but those Watchers won't be so 'generous'!"

Upon hearing this, the older Shaman subconsciously shivered.

Unlike the ordinary tribespeople who mostly felt that Elves were the embodiment of beauty and kindness, the benefactors of the tribe, and the saviors of Langasi, they, the high-level members of the tribe, all knew very well what the truest appearance of the Elves was!

With the Great Shaman's word, even if the Green Vine Shamans who gathered around were unwilling, they had to lend a hand; furthermore, as for exactly how much unwillingness there was, that was really hard to say!

At the same time, Xia Duo also noticed that a group of Green Vine Shamans had come outside, but he did not care at all.

At this moment, his battle with the Elves was already very intense; any external factor could actually be seen as an expansion of the "chessboard" of the battle between the two sides, which was undoubtedly good news for him, as he had the ability to control such a grand situation.

After all, the Elven Mages, who had already fallen into a disadvantage in the duel, would not agree to let him gain additional advantages by continuing to expand the battlefield.

If he were to personally add a new "chessboard," those Elven Mages would definitely move to stop him.

In fact, from the moment Xia Duo gained the upper hand, he had been constantly trying to expand the scope of the spell confrontation, so as to achieve the goal of gaining an overwhelming advantage as quickly as possible.

It was just that the Elves seemed to be intentionally stalling for time; although Xia Duo's advantage was constantly expanding, the Elves' will to resist was also exceptionally firm.

At the moment he noticed the Green Vine Shamans, Xia Duo knew that the critical moment for victory was coming.

Thus, while he fought steadily and continued to maintain the current rate of advantage accumulation, he also intentionally limited the range of the Spell Elements in the struggle through his dominance of the battle situation, ensuring that the Elves would not have any chance to transmit any information.

What happened next went almost entirely according to Xia Duo's wishes—

The Elves had no chance to warn the Green Vine Shamans not to intervene, so the Green Vine Shamans, noticing that the Elves had fallen into a disadvantage, took action.

This intervention not only failed to have any positive effect on the current predicament of the Elven Mages, but the suddenly appearing strange spells made the battlefield situation even more chaotic.

And this, however, did not escape Xia Duo's control.

Adding the expanded "battlefield" allowed him to gain more advantages, which caused the situation that was originally intense to suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse.

A formed spell similar to a distributed element composition was born from the chaotic Magic Net, almost instantly determining the result of the battle.

All eight Elves were frozen on the spot with looks of horror on their faces.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Duo considered they might still be useful later and applied a layer of Protection to them, I am afraid that Xia Duo wouldn't even need to take action personally; the yet-to-subside Chaos Weave environment would have been enough to kill them several times over.
