Chapter 714: Chapter 577, I just said Necromancy isn't suitable for competition Chapter 714: Chapter 577, I just said Necromancy isn't suitable for competition Click, click, click~!
The sound of a switch being activated echoed.
Immediately, screens raised on stands displayed the scene within the combat arena.
Underneath the screen stands, numerous skeletons guarded, preventing the crowd of onlookers from getting too close or causing damage.
The crowd, craning their necks to watch the screens, all widened their eyes, showing incredulous expressions.
“We can see the scenes inside!”
“It's another new artifact, never seen before.”
“This thing is great; we can see from the back without having to squeeze in front anymore, and it is less dangerous.”
Some representatives of the merchants were also watching the screens.
“What is this artifact? If we could sell it, it would be of great value.”
“The island master has many new artifacts; we could ask him about them later.”
“I'm afraid not even the headquarters of the association has such a device that displays images.”
“Quiet down, the island master is coming up.”
All eyes followed the sound, seeing in the screen Wu Heng in a mage's robe, standing on one side of the combat arena, beside him a skeleton attendant dressed in leather armor and wearing a hood.
Opposite him was another figure in a robe overlaid with a leather armor, a challenger with golden hair and blue teeth.
Most people had heard the news.
It was also their first time seeing the challenger looking like this.
“He's quite young!”
“I heard he is a prodigy of the younger generation of the association, certainly of extraordinary origin.”
“It shows.”
“Whom do you support?”
“The Island Master I suppose; his background is similar to ours, and he changed professions not long ago.”
“True, he represents Gold and Silver Island; whether this person wins or loses, he'll just turn around and leave, having nothing to do with us anyway.”
“True.”
On the combat platform.
“Both sides confirm, the duel begins!”
Upon Shi Yali's declaration, she quickly retreated backward.
The two duelists cast spells simultaneously.
Wu Heng's body was enveloped by the white bone armor, then a preset shield activated. Lu An, too, was covered by a pale yellow mage's shield.
Next, Lu An's hand produced a magic wand, his gaze suddenly fierce, and with a swift forward thrust of his wand, several ice-blue ice cones shot out, rapid as arrows.
Wu Heng also took out his magic wand and casually waved it, firing the Fireball Technique.
Boom~!
The ice cones and fireballs collided, igniting a sky full of flaming streams and ice crystals.
“You're good with Shaping Energy Spells as well,” Lu An remarked offhand, raising his wand, rapidly concentrating his spell.
A thick lightning serpent shot out again.
Wu Heng responded with Lightning Binding as well.
Boom~Zzzt!
The two lightning bolts collided again, scattering bright sparks in all directions.
“I wonder how many other sect spells you know,” Lu An sneered coldly.
Air vortices appeared all around, rustling their robes.
Then, countless silver-white birds emerged from all around, dense as swallows flocking to their nest, smashing towards Wu Heng and the skeleton attendant from the sky and all sides.
Wu Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't seen this spell before.
He quickly started running sideways.
The silver-white birds followed him as if they had targeted him, crashing into his body.
Pound, pound, pound~!
A series of explosions erupted, the spot where Wu Heng stood was instantly overwhelmed by lightning.
As if covered by a dense barrage of explosions.
Thick smoke rose, obscuring the surroundings.
No figure escaped, and they lost sight of the target in their view.
Lu An raised an eyebrow, “Ended so soon? With this kind of strength, how did he become the master of Gold and Silver Island? His strength is even worse than I imagined, not even comparable to an ordinary association vice-executive!”
Watching the screen, everyone frowned tightly as they saw Wu Heng enveloped by the silver-white birds.
“No way!”
“The island master has killed so many pirates; how could he be so weak.”
“I said, necromancers aren't suited for duels. If it were skeletons going up, they could beat that kid until he poops himself.”
“What's the use of saying these things, the duel was agreed by both parties.”
“Ah~! He was too harsh. I told Lu An to be mindful of the occasion, and dueling with the younger generation is good practice, but why was he so rough?”
In the stands, a veteran mage chided with a smile.
Xi Ligui glanced sideways and saw only hypocritical modesty on the other's face.
She snorted coldly and did not speak.
Although she didn't believe Wu Heng would lose to him,
she still focused on the combat arena.
If there truly were danger, she would fly to rescue.
“Big sister, the island master doesn't seem to have the upper hand,”
a subordinate quietly said next to Mackintosh.
Being covered by such dense spells right at the start, even close-combat professions couldn't withstand this intense assault.
“Big sister, I'll send people out to sea to wait, and when they leave, in the sea we can give them….”
As he spoke, he made a gesture as if slashing his own throat.
Mackintosh turned his head and glared at the other party, starting, “His skeleton is at least level 15. If we really fight, it could hold its own for a while.”
The younger brother was stunned, his gaze shifting to the skeleton on stage.
The skeleton attendant that had been brought up was still standing in its original spot; the spell birds that had just flown past didn't cause any damage either.
…
Meanwhile, the murmurs among the crowd resumed.
“The Island Master is fine; he's protected himself.”
“I told you, there's no way he'd fall that easily.”
“But the Necromancer doesn't seem to have any offensive methods!”
…
In the Combat Arena.
Just when everyone thought Wu Heng had failed.
A breeze blew and the dust scattered.
From the spot bombarded by the silver-white birds, a mustard-colored coffin slowly rose and crumbled before everyone's eyes.
Wu Heng emerged unscathed.
Lu An narrowed his eyes, “You hid, very much in the style of the Necromancy Sect.”
Wu Heng glanced at the opponent.
Indeed, the magic just now was quite intimidating, and it was also a type of spell he had not encountered before.
If he could learn it, the effects would be like drone bombing a crowd.
Whether in combat or dealing with zombies, it would be quite effective.
Wu Heng looked at Lu An who suddenly had a cold expression and forced a smile, “My apologies, it's my first time dueling with a mage, wanted to see what effects it could achieve, indeed it startled me.”
Lu An scoffed, “Arrogant!”
His magic wand swung again, and a red tornado of fire began to converge in the arena, stirring the winds around violently.
It was a new spell.
The Energy Shaping technique was so powerful; it seemed to have extremely lethal effects.
Wu Heng immediately started to run, dodging the location of the tornado.
At the same time, his magic wand also began swinging continuously, [Disease Ray Spell][Weakening Ray Spell][Grave Injury Spell] being cast one after another.
As 'Lu An' released his skills, he looked defeated.
Blood instantly flowed from his nostrils and corners of his mouth.
Staining the front of his robe.
The Grave Injury Spell acted more like a curse; it was completely ineffective against the undead, but against living beings.
Especially those of a lower level than himself, it caused severe damage.
Lu An's eyes hardened, his body enveloped in a green light.
The negative status effects applied to him vanished instantly.
Then Ice Cone Spell, Silver-White Birds, and Wind Fire Blade were fired one after another.
They started bombing the area where Wu Heng was located.
A roar erupted in the arena, stones scattered everywhere, dust filling the air.
Wu Heng's running speed was so fast it was uncharacteristic of a mage.
“Why isn't your skeleton moving? You looking down on me?” Lu An said coldly, instantly drawing his rapier and quickly lunging at Wu Heng.
During his rush, spells continued.
A barrage of violent explosions.
Wu Heng halted his frantic running and also produced a winged sword in his hand, not retreating but advancing rapidly to meet his opponent.
…
As the two drew swords and closed in face to face, the spectating crowd erupted again.
“They've drawn swords, they're drawing swords.”
“Aren't they mages? What's this about?”
“Do all mages do this? Magic first, then close combat?”
…
Clang~!
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
The Winged Sword was positioned in front, blocking the rapier's thrust at the chest.
The longsword swept upward, deflecting the rapier.
Forcing Lu An's form to lean back slightly, Wu Heng's 'Greyhawk Swordsmanship' took over, his form swiftly following the opponent's, sword movements consecutive and relentless, continuing to hack at him.
Animate Object released, Lu An's clothing tightened around his neck and trousers hitched up.
Lu An's body flashed again, the effect on his clothing items lost.
Handling the sword hurriedly to block the incoming attacks.
The rapier, thin and straight, primarily used for thrusting.
Against Wu Heng's continuous chopping, the rapier started to bend, struggling to defend.
Lu An hadn't expected his opponent's strength to be so formidable, his own profound swordsmanship seeming utterly defenseless against it.
He felt like countless attacks were chopping at him.
The spells he wanted to cast were also interrupted by his opponent, dodging a sword sideways while his left shoulder was struck.
Tearing open the leather armor, blood flowed freely.
Lu An staggered back several steps, a wary look flashing in his eyes.
Seeing his opponent rushing again, he reached for his rapier, a searing flame appearing on the blade.
His feet tapped lightly, his form shooting out once more.
Mid-way, his figure flickered, instantly transforming into three figures, all thrusting at the target simultaneously.
The middle figure charged forward, the rapier aiming for the forehead, the left figure pivoted, thrusting at the lower ribs, the right figure's rapier aimed straight for the heart.
The three figures moved as fast as lightning, their actions synchronized, almost reaching his side simultaneously.
And just as they neared Wu Heng, about to make their hits.
The figure before them also blurred suddenly.
