Arcane Lord

Many people in the arena were aware of Stuart's predicament. After all, being hit by the opponent's spell was obvious to everyone, and Sha Duo couldn't help but sweat for him.

At this moment, some subtle changes took place on the field - Stuart unfolded the arcane fire, and the strings of the magic net spread out, occupying a small amount of space near Stuart.

Although you cannot completely shield yourself from the influence of the external magic network environment, you can also build an environment that is more conducive to yourself.

Shado noticed that just after Stuart launched the arcane fire, his opponent, the Ellan mage from Ellan, immediately accelerated the attack rhythm, but for a while, Shado could not identify the specific spell.

I saw that the magic net around Master Ye Erlan suddenly twisted together, just like a number of parallel strings in the space were twisted into one by an external force, forming a rope-like structure.

Afterwards, this effect expanded rapidly, as if one end of the cord-like structure rapidly extended until it was close to Stuart, and then this end quickly expanded again, turning into scattered strings of magic nets, unfolding towards Stuart. Climb up the miniature magic net.

Sha Duo has never seen such a spell before, and it can even be said that this is no longer a normal spell. Normal spells use the magic string as a medium, and the magic effects produced are independent. Once the magic string is used, it is over.

But this spell is to manipulate the string of the magic network, using the string of the magic network as a weapon to directly attack the opponent.

However, Xia Duo also knows that any change in the strings of the Magic Network will produce corresponding magical effects. So what will happen to the magic formed by twisting the strings of the Magic Network to form a rope-like structure that spreads far away? ?

Putting aside the changes in the strings of the magic net in the magic vision, what appeared in front of Sha Duo was a ray of strange light, emitted from the fingertips of Master Ye Erlan, and hit Stuart almost instantly.

No, it should have hit the space around Stuart!

The next moment, Stuart's position suddenly dimmed, but the next moment, Sha Duo clearly saw a stern expression on Stuart's face, and then he completely ignored the opponent's spell and just continued to remove it. The other party’s protection.

To Sha Duo's surprise, Master Ye Erlan did not dodge or even resist at all, allowing Stuart's dispelling magic to hit him, and then the restricting magic.

However, before Stuart could continue his attack, Elkamon, the host, part-time referee, and senior arcanist of this snowmelting competition, directly expelled the two from half the fighting space and made a move. referee:

"Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown] First Round, Stuart wins!"

After saying that, he looked at the top three representatives. Princess Xia nodded in approval, and the high mage from Ye Erlan had no objections.

If it were a snowmelting competition between Netheril and Erlan in the past, then the Grand Arcanist or the High Mage would make some comments. After all, this is also tradition and has not changed for hundreds of years.

But once the tradition was broken, now that Cormanso was included, the review session was simply cancelled.

"Please leave both contestants!"

The positions where the two were expelled from the half-dimensional battle space were not on either side of the battle platform. After all, the battle platform was very small. If they really came out, they would face each other. If they had played real fire before, they might have to fight again after it was over. That would be embarrassing.

Therefore, the two people appeared directly close to the auditorium.

Xia Duozheng was a little surprised as to why the two of them were so far away when they came out. He knew it when he saw Stuart's angry eyes. On the other hand, Master Yeerlan didn't seem to be the loser, but rather like he was the winner. Same.

There was no displeasure on his face, but instead there was a strange joy. When he returned to his seat, he chatted with his companion, and he was also in high spirits.

"Is Stuart's fire damaged?" Sha Duo looked at Niya in confusion.

However, Niya couldn't answer him for this question. After all, the gap between her and Xia Duo was not big. She might not be able to spot the problem that Xia Duo couldn't see.

"Maybe." Nia gave an ambiguous answer.

For a moment, Xia Duo didn't know what to say, so he asked again: "Have you ever heard of anyone whose Austrian fire was damaged in the snow melting competition in the past years?"

"It seems that I have never heard of it. Of course, it may be that they concealed it well. After all, not many people came to watch the snow melting competition."

That's it!

The competition continues, and in the second game, the Yeerlan contestants challenge the Cormanso contestants.

It is extremely rare for two elves to engage in a spell showdown in front of humans. Just when nearly a thousand human spellcasters, including Sha Duo, were looking forward to what a showdown between elves would be like, they did not expect——

When the two elf mages entered the half-dimensional battle space, the two sides looked like apprentices fighting. You fired a magic missile, and I fired a scorching ray. You came and I went back and forth. The scene looked very lively.

But that's just fun in the eyes of ordinary people, and it's like child's play in the eyes of spellcasters.

After several back and forths, Master Ye Erlan took the initiative to admit defeat.

The whole audience was in an uproar for a moment. Is there no one to care about such a blatant match-fixing?

It seemed that no one really cared. After El Camon announced the result, none of the great arcanists expressed any objection, as if they were very satisfied with the performance just now.

In the next third game, Master Cormanso challenged Master Nese, making everyone understand that this year's snow melting competition is indeed different from previous years!

Nese, the arcanist who appeared, was almost beaten by the opponent. The battle was very fierce. Although there were no gorgeous light and shadow effects in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of the caster, this one was much more exciting than the previous one.

But it's a pity that Netheril lost.

"The third game of the Snow Melting Competition [Spell Showdown], Wells, wins!"

…

The game continued, and in the fourth game it was the Nese side's turn to challenge the Yeerlan side, but this time Shado did not focus on the game, but paid attention to the situation on the elves' side.

Although there have only been three games, many people have discovered that this snowmelt competition is more of a competition than a collective action by Erlan and Cormanthor to suppress Netheril.

Xia Duo has never seen the past snowmelt competitions, so he doesn't know what the atmosphere was like in the past, but this time, it is obviously full of malice. Once the elf mages fight against the human mages, they will attack with all their strength.

And the battle between them seemed like child's play.

While maintaining a minimum focus on the game, Shado focused his attention mainly on a Cormanthor elf, the Wells who had just defeated the Nether Arcanist.

Of course, the voice cannot be transmitted, and Xia Duo cannot read lips, but just by looking at his movements, expressions, and demeanor, you can roughly find some clues.
