Episode 110 – Sparkbloom

Previously:

The day of the practical exae arena created by the Replica Dungeon Nelaira tricks Deora into attacking the Rroda brothers, and Deora ends up pursuing Kiel with a barrage of fireballs Kiel runs away, dodging the fireballs, however, Deora es to hit him with an explosive airball Kiel loses his consciousness and re house as a child After waking up he gets into a life and death situation that makes him overcome his fear of fire and launch a counter attack on Deora Hehiht, Rhur finished Nelaira off in a fit of rage Kielointment Kiel and Rhur team up to attack Zor

Zor had created a spatial barrier, sealing off the region of space around his such as h the barrier

Reflection barriers targeted objects which touched the, which et objects which were protected by foreign mana However,Zor’s spatial barrier was different Zor wasn’t targeting objects which touched his barrier, he was targeting space itself By changing space itself, the change would affect anything and everything that entered that space

This was the principle that theElaru had given Kiel was based on the same principle

And so, Rhur’s and Kiel’s attack was thwarted before it even began

Both Rroda brothers realized instantly that blindly chucking things at the barrier would not work and halted their assault Spatial barriers couldn’t be broken by brute force It was like trying to shatter space itself Or it would beto cool down an object by repeatedly hitting it – there was basically no correlation hat they were doing and what they wanted to achieve

To continue their assault, they needed to bypass, overpower or break the barrier first

To bypass it, they would either need to use spatial ic to teleport their attacks inside the barrier or use metaphysical attacks, neither of which the two of the a protective barrier wasn’t any easier Kiel had experienced this fact first hand 12 years ago, when he alhters and peacekeepers couldn’t enter inside the barrier shi+elding his house They had even thrown e to the spellthe spell pattern with h to break a fully for effect, the spell pattern and the reality-altering effect would for each other If a spell pattern was da effect would repair the spell pattern, and if the reality-altering effect was negated, the spell pattern would try to recreate it

This self-recovery process wouldn’t fail as long as there was enoughthe fact that the recovery was very mana efficient

If one wanted to break the spell, one would need to sever the connection between the two by da the entire spell pattern in one go

The critical points of the spells were like invisible strings connecting the spell pattern and the reality-altering effect, and one needed to accurately slice them all off at the same time for the spell to crus” constantlywith the spell pattern, but they also couldn’t be felt or seen It was no wonder that Spell Breakers were an extrerettably, neither one of the two Rroda brothers knew the critical points of Zor’s spell, but even if they did know, they would find themselves unable to locate those points because they couldn’t feel the Zor’s spell pattern at all – he was still concealing it

If one didn’t have Aethernea of Sight, it would be impossible to feel a concealed spell and thus impossible to pinpoint the weak points even if one knew their location on the spell pattern

Of course, they could attack the spell blindly, atte to drain Zor’s mana, but they would use up far more mana in their dense mana attacks than Zor’s spell used up to repair itself

Their only alternative to spell breaking was to cause spell interference, atte to overpower Zor’s spell If two spells attees in reality, such as one trying to cool down a certain area while other was trying to heat it up, the two spells would cause destructive spell interference with each other,the two spells wrestle for control over reality

In such a scenario, if the difference in level between the two spells weren’t too large, the weaker spell would get overpowered, allowing the stronger spell to overwrite the effect of the weaker spell with its own This hat happened to Kiel’s first opponent who had strengthened his skin The strengthening on Kiel’s attacking spikes was stronger, and it overpowered the spell the ot overpowered, its reality-altering effect would be negated, however, the spell pattern wouldn’t get broken Once the spell interference passed, the weaker spell would be able to reinstate its reality-altering effect, regaining control over reality

If one wanted to co, then it could be done only if one of the spells wasit so that the losing spell couldn’t even struggle before getting crushed Like a dragon stepping on grass, it would be ier spell not to demolish the weaker one upon contact This was known as do the spell

It was a rare occurrence that could only happen if the two opponents were on entirely different levels, such as if a ainst soic The other possible scenario was if one of the opposing spells was an enchantical artifact, they would have a lot of time to perfect their spell, so the spell levels of enchanto

It was almost impossible for a non-enchantood news for Kiel For he was the one with an enchant which worked in a similar way to Zor’s barrier If he used its power, it should be enough to overpower Zor’s barrier, at least for a while

Rhur Rroda wasn’t aware that Kiel had a way to salvage the situation, therefore his face was turning paler and paler by the second He didn’t know any spatial spells so he couldn’t cause spell interference with Zor’s barrier He figured Kiel didn’t know any spatial spells either, otherwise, he would have used theht with Deora

And thus, no ht about it, it was impossible for the two of theht!

While they were struggling, unable to break through the barrier, Zor could take his tis!

Rhur stopped his approach ten , his eyes hesitating What to do? What can I do?

It didn’t take Rhur long to run through all scenarios and realize he had no way to fight with Zor

And thus, if he couldn’t fight with Zor… all that was left…

Rhur’s eyes narrowed, and he flashed a fleeting glance in Kiel’s direction Kiel wasn’t too far off, only a fewZor and was hesitating on how to proceed

Kiel was pondering on how to use the egg the most effectively, however, in Rhur’s eyes, his hesitation seemed to come from the same source as his

And thus, Rhur Rroda reached into his pouch to bring out another handful of red petals

He blew the petals all around hi Zor
