Chapter 1811: Spell Breaking Ability, An Open Conspiracy Probe

However, at this moment, the environment Xia Duo and the others were in was a relatively narrow space inside the mountain, with little room for maneuvering, especially for a special existence like the strange Elf that did not rely purely on spells to fight.

It was unclear whether the opponent had long since seen through their disguise or had judged that Xia Duo and Puman were humans through their spellcasting characteristics, but being so easily seen through by the opponent still caused the hearts of Xia Duo and the other to sink.

The next moment, the strange Elf flapped its wings again and swooped toward the two on the first floor of the hall, but this time, Xia Duo and Puman did not continue to teleport away, but chose to perform Joint Casting.

They wrapped a Force Wall that went from open to closed around the strange Elf; until this moment, the strange Elf actually had no intention of engaging in a Spell Duel with the two.

Instead, holding a Blazing Longsword radiating high heat, it slashed down from a high position with peerless momentum. When its longsword was raised high, Xia Duo noticed that the Magic Net within this limited space inside the mountain had a momentary disorder.

And precisely because of this, the Force Wall that he and Puman had jointly constructed was torn apart easily, as if it were a thin piece of paper.

In fact, this Force Wall was not a specific type of wall, but a special Domain that reconstructed force and inertia; it would not remain normal when torn like an ordinary tangible object.

In reality, the moment the Force Wall was torn, it meant the spell had disintegrated. At that moment, the gravity and inertia in the area covered by the Force Wall became abnormally chaotic, actually whipping up a wind from nowhere within this enclosed mountain space.

"There is something wrong with that sword of his!"

Such a thought suddenly rose in Xia Duo's heart; in fact, any Spellcaster with even a basic foundation would make a similar judgment when encountering this situation.

Xia Duo himself possessed the Blade of Veto which could perform Spell Breaking, but the Blade of Veto also possessed spell Principles, and the methods of Spell Breaking all had traces to follow.

It was not like the Blazing Longsword used by the strange Elf before them, which defeated spells in an almost unreasonable way; for a Spellcaster, this was truly a phenomenon that exceeded cognition.

Regarding this, Puman had the same view, secretly communicating with Xia Duo via Sending, "It's a bit like Psionic Magic, but it doesn't have the significant idealistic characteristics of Psionic Magic."

"Related to Demon Power?"

"Perhaps, I'm not too sure either; the Elf before us is truly too abnormal."

The communication in the Mind Link was extremely rapid; Xia Duo and Puman exchanged opinions briefly, while in reality, less than a second had passed in the outside world.

But this strange Elf would not let them continue to communicate calmly; the peerless sword momentum that had instantly crushed the Force Wall was already right before their eyes, and for a moment, the two had no better way to handle it.

They could only shift again.

It was just that this time, the two did not waste energy creating an Illusion to confuse the opponent, but teleported directly to the second floor, just in time to avoid the opponent's sword momentum.

The Blazing Longsword slashed into the place where Xia Duo and Puman had originally stood, the tip of the sword grazing the wall and finally going straight into the ground; wherever the sword body passed, the rock softened and even melted, leaving a terrifying sword mark.

If this had slashed onto the two of them, with the strange Spell Breaking Qinen of that Blazing Longsword, the two might not have been able to resist at all.

And at this time, the strange Elf, having missed its strike, did not fly into a rage, but instead raised its longsword again with composure, while letting out a sneer:

"Cunning humans, you sure can run!"

After speaking, it flapped its wings again and swooped toward the two on the second floor. Facing the strange Elf swooping over again, Xia Duo truly felt like a mouse trying to pull a turtle—there was no way to get a grip.

At this moment, he finally knew why the opponent had the ability to cast spells but did not engage in a Spell Duel with them; there was no other reason, it was simply unnecessary.

If one could solve an enemy so simply and crudely, if it were Xia Duo himself, he would not want to rack his brains to engage in any Spell Duel either.

Moreover, this time, when the opponent swooped over, the burning Blazing Longsword vibrated, pulling the surrounding large swaths of Magic Net String over; although it did not affect the normal Spellcasting of Xia Duo and the other, it made it very difficult for their spells to have an impact on the opponent.

What's more, the opponent was actually consciously destroying the Forbidden Restriction the two had previously laid out, not only to disintegrate the special teleportation Domain the two had built based on dynamic Forbidden Restriction, but even to form a restriction against them in turn.

This point alone confirmed to Xia Duo once again that this strange Elf was definitely a Master of spells!

Xia Duo and Puman looked at each other, and a decision had already been quietly made in the Mind Link: the Forbidden Restriction must absolutely not be disintegrated. This was not only related to whether they could restrict the opponent from teleporting away, but more directly related to whether the opponent could teleport directly to their side and instantly end this battle.

Secondly, they could not let the opponent complete control over the necessary conditions for the composition of Magic Net-related Spell Elements. Once the opponent succeeded, it would be very difficult for the two of them to continue to deploy teleportation, and then they would have to face that strange Blazing Longsword directly.

As a basic professional quality of an Arcanist, facing the unknown is worth rejoicing over, but it does not mean one should face an unknown existence with confirmed risks head-on.

After making the decision, the two did not perform Joint Casting again, but acted separately; however, such separate action also required the tacit understanding of mutual trust, as well as the most important spell attainments.

At this moment, what Puman needed to do was to engage in a Spell Duel that was not a duel with the opponent, to disintegrate the opponent's control over the teleportation-related characteristics of the surrounding Magic Net as much as possible.

And Xia Duo needed to probe the opponent's strange Blazing Longsword while changing and adjusting the key elements of the Forbidden Restriction.

Xia Duo believed that no matter how much strangeness or how many unknowns there were, it was just that the relevant data collection was insufficient. As long as the data volume was large enough, even if one could not ascertain its essence, one could make judgments, or even predictions, that were relatively consistent with the facts from a statistical perspective.

Specifically for the present, as long as he probed how the opponent's Blazing Longsword performed Spell Breaking, then the corresponding counter-mechanism would not be difficult to derive.

Even Psionic Technique, which is determined by idealism, has traces to follow; Xia Duo believed that the opponent's strange longsword would absolutely not be beyond cognition.

Next, Xia Duo threw small spells one after another toward the opponent. These case spells with typical elemental characteristics, which he had summarized earlier for Apprentice teaching, were the best spell probes.

And this was an open conspiracy.

Even if the opponent knew he wanted to probe the Spell Breaking process and Principles of the Blazing Longsword, it could not give up using it. Once the opponent gave up Spell Breaking, Xia Duo's case spells could be dissociated into basic elements at any time and then composed into new Advanced Rank spells.

Those case spells might not necessarily hinder the opponent, but if ignored, the Advanced Rank spells they evolved into later would possess abilities the opponent could not ignore—either attacking or restricting, adapting to the situation.
