Chapter 2495: The Will of Taiweimansa

With the Time Protection Barrier, Xia Duo no longer needs to engage in traditional spell duels when facing enemies; while Element-level confrontations possess an aesthetic where technique approaches the Dao, isn't it far more reliable to use overwhelming force to overcome ten skills?

The reason spell duels reach the level of Element-level confrontation is mainly because spellcasters cannot complete a full, or even comprehensive, spell attack or defense in a single thought, isn't it?

But now, Xia Duo is enveloped by the Time Barrier, where the internal flow of time is dozens or even hundreds of times faster than the outside; relative to every instant in the outside world, he can complete the construction of any complete spell within his own domain.

In other words, the Time Barrier has directly elevated Xia Duo's spellcasting ability by an order of magnitude, and this is merely on the level of pure spellcasting; sufficient time also allows his responses to be more thorough.

At this moment, the Elf assassin, having just suffered such a "dimensional reduction strike" of Spell Breaking and Binding, had almost no power to fight back, but Xia Duo had his own considerations and deliberately slowed down his actions when striking.

Not until someone shouted "Enemy attack!" while being isolated by the extended space did Xia Duo unhurriedly send an attack alert and an application for temporary Permission Level elevation to the Seven Towers via the Seville Mythallar owned by the Arcane Union.

But the Elf assassin needed not care for these; seizing a gap Xia Duo had deliberately left, the body suddenly radiated a dazzling spiritual light, the Soul rapidly undergoing Ascension, and soon transformed the entire body into a visible light-based form.

"As expected!"

Xia Duo was all too familiar with the methods of Elf High Mages; when not transformed into Saint Form, an Elf High Mage's spellcasting ability might not necessarily compare to a Great Arcanist under the Netheril Magic System.

But once transformed into Saint Form, they almost become the Magic Net's own child—the kind even closer than an Arcanist—and all ranges of the Magic Net that can be perceived will respond accordingly, as if it were an extension of the Saint Form's own body.

It is not at all inferior to the Private Magic Web an Arcanist unfolds with Arcane Fire.

In just an instant, Xia Duo discovered that the Mythallar deployed by the Seven Towers in Seville had become a mere decoration; the Elf assassin was gathering Magic Net Strings with almost no obstruction, and from macro to micro, endless spells began to form.

"Xia Duo, how dare you refuse the goodwill from Taiweimansa! Now you shall pay the price for your arrogance!"

Seemingly to deliberately display majesty, the Elf assassin's voice was enhanced by spells, and even through the spatial barrier, it spread that haughty, unscrupulous air across the entire Arcane Plaza, and even the whole of Seville.

At the same time, the spell Xia Duo had originally intended to cast paused for a moment, appearing quite indignant, wanting to debate with them, "The Seville Covenant is entirely an internal affair of Netheril; Eaerlann's wanton interference is what is arrogant and barbaric!

"It was your unreasonable demand to begin with, yet you expect others to agree unconditionally, and if they don't, they must pay a price—what kind of logic is this? Or is it that in the eyes of Eaerlann, you have never once considered the Netherese to be an existence equal to the Eaerlann Elf?"

"Netherese? Mere short-lived species, what qualifications do you have to be mentioned in the same breath as the great Taiquese Yizu? You just happened to pick up a small seashell on the edge of the ocean of magic and mistakenly think you have conquered the entire ocean. Human, face your destiny!"

Perhaps stimulated by the people coming to support from the Seven Towers, the Elf assassin stopped talking nonsense and instead rapidly reconstructed the Magic Net environment within the expanded spatial range where they were located.

At the same time, Xia Duo also received news from the Seven Towers confirming the Seville Mythallar permission, elevating his spellcasting permission to an unrestricted level; although he could not utilize the Mythallar, there was no need for Xia Duo to use such a crude Mythallar anyway.

If not for the sake of the Seven Towers' reputation, he could have even bypassed the restrictions set by the Seven Towers directly, but he had his concerns, while the Elf assassin had none.

As soon as Badijiaer and Huo En appeared, a brand-new Mythallar rapidly spread out with the Elf assassin at the center, and it continued to expand outward.

【The current app with the most complete and best-to-use audio listening features, integrating 4 major voice synthesis engines, over 100 timbres, and is also a source-changing artifact that supports offline reading, source-changing app】

As it expanded, the Seville Mythallar built by the Seven Towers was like a sandcastle in water; it didn't even need to be deliberately targeted before it naturally fell apart and collapsed, even triggering a chain reaction as a result.

In areas beyond the reach of the Elf assassin's Mythallar, the Seville Mythallar also began to collapse and disintegrate, with countless Element Turbulence appearing in the air, as if they would erupt at any moment.

Seeing this scene, whether it was Badijiaer, Huo En, or others on the Arcane Plaza, their expressions changed drastically; the only one who remained calm was likely Xia Duo, who had anticipated all of this.

Of course, there was also the culprit behind all of this, that Elf assassin!

"Badijiaer, you go and control the Mythallar in other areas; leave this guy to me. This fellow is too rampant; I must capture them alive and send them to the Northland Alliance to let the various countries properly evaluate this!"

Xia Duo sent a quick Sending, then ignored Badijiaer's reaction and readjusted the War Spell 【Wide-Area Prohibition】, which had originally been limited to the north side of the Arcane Plaza, to cover the entire Arcane Plaza.

With the depth of a War Spell, although it could not completely prevent the disintegration of the Seville Mythallar, it bought time for Badijiaer and the others; if they hadn't been slacking off after building the Mythallar and had continued their research, it shouldn't have been difficult to stabilize the disintegration trend outside.

Of course, it would only be stabilization; the disintegration of the Seville Mythallar was already irreversible, and the only difference was whether it "died" quietly or violently, cleanly or in a complete mess.

"Human, your little tricks were already played by the Elves thousands and tens of thousands of years ago! No one can defy the will of Taiweimansa; Xia Duo, your fate is already sealed!"

After the verbal sparring, the Elf assassin's Perception expanded, and subsequently, the range of the Magic Net they controlled also began to spread; within this area, a new Mythallar was constantly woven, completely turning this area into a domain under their control.

For a time, Xia Duo actually only had the power to passively defend and no ability to actively intervene; fortunately, he had completed the construction of the War Spell 【Wide-Area Prohibition】 single-handedly in the Time Barrier just moments ago, otherwise, it was uncertain what complications might have arisen now!

But the 【Wide-Area Prohibition】, which had always worked in the past, encountered the Mythallar deliberately woven by this Elf assassin, and its ability to separate space was greatly weakened; merely maintaining the area control of the Arcane Plaza was already approaching the limit of what the spell could achieve.

After moving the irrelevant people on the plaza away, Xia Duo began to summon the Floating City; this time, he did not want the slow movement from the last time he went to the Seven Towers to discuss Sustainable Development, but directly activated the Floating City's Jump System.

Since the option of the Floating City descending upon Seville was already in the contingency plan, Xia Duo did not hesitate at this moment; almost instantly, the Magic Net above Seville vibrated violently, turning the ocean of Magic Net Strings that were still relatively stable in that area upside down.

So much so that at this moment, everyone looking at that airspace did not need Magic Vision to see with their naked eyes a circle of bright, dazzling white thick fog shimmering with seven-colored light.
