Chapter 725 - Love and Hate Have No Boundaries (1/2)
Roland was the kind of player who desperately tried to raise his magic power cap.
In his opinion, the amount of MP could decide the outcome of a battle.
Of course… level, equipment, and other factors were all important.
But both magic penetration and magic defensive abilities could be achieved with more magic power.
In other words, with enough magic power, he would be invincible.
That was the main idea.
This was also the simplest and most practical school of thought.
Strong fundamentals, high attributes, and specially optimized attack and defense spells…
Spells that could accommodate more magic power were his idea of future growth.
It was easier said than done.
Magic power was an attribute that wasn’t easily stacked.
But once it was pushed up, the results were obvious.
So when a dozen huge Hands of Magic floated down and the ice domain formed at an extremely fast pace, a subtle resonance of magic power had formed around Roland.
This allowed him to use spells more efficiently.
A lightning bolt struck at him.
Jabezo wasn’t a fool, and his attack was sent out when Roland spread his domain.
The greenish-purple lightning bolt was like a long and deadly flinging whip, licking at Roland’s Magic Shield but unable to enter.
The sound of electricity echoed, and the air was filled with a scorching smell.
Roland didn’t care as he controlled the Hands of Magic, forming a circle around Jabezo before countless fists hammered into Jabezo like a terrifying rainstorm.
The pounding sounds, being so dense, even turned into one loud sound similar to surging waves.
At the same time, the ice domain formed a layer of frost on the ground and froze Jabezo along with his shield.
The dozen or so Hands of Magic came too fast and were striking from above in a circle, making it impossible for Jabezo to fly upward.
Feeling his Magic Shield vibrate slightly, Jabezo looked at the dozen or so huge Hands of Magic with some confusion.
He had never seen such a spell beforewasn’t Hand of Magic used for holding keys, opening doors, and lifting light objects?
The fierce attacks of these dozen Hands of Magic struck with more force than his Chain Lightning.
F**king hell.
What has happened to the magic world in the last few hundred years?
Had the magic world, which he hadn’t come in contact with in the past fifty years, changed so much?
He immediately cast another kind of spell, and a dozen Arcane Bullets with a long, blue tail flame hit Roland’s Magic Shield, and only caused some subtle ripples.
“What a hard shield.” Jabezo was a bit puzzled. “Is this guy really a Master Mage?”
Although he now had only Master-level strength, he was after all a former Demigod, a strong man who dared to contend for the Divine Spark with Mystra.
And now he couldn’t deal with a young Master Mage?
It was almost inconceivable.
Even if his strength had declined, he was still a former Demigod and had controlled half of the natural law… Although it was still eventually taken away by Mystra in the form of coalescing the Divine Spark, he still managed to benefit greatly from it.
All of his attack spells had decent penetration.
However, now they couldn’t penetrate the shield of a Master Mage?
This was outrageous.
He frowned slightly.
At the same time, he increased the power output.
The Chain Lightning was thicker, longer, and brighter.
And Roland did the same thing. Prismatic Spray, Arcane Bullets, and Teleportation were all used.
His biggest advantage was that he had extremely high magic power and a super-fast regeneration rate. Dragging Jabezo into a protracted war was the tactic Roland had developed.
Now it succeeded.
Both sides blasted magic at each other from a distance of thirty meters.
In reality, Mages fighting each other was not quite appealing.
Especially Mages like Roland and Jabezo. They almost had no weaknesses and just dealt damage without moving. Both sides had extremely high magic power control, high magic power capacity, and the ability to cast spells quickly.
They weren’t one of those academic Mages raised in a hothouse at the Spatial Magic
Tower.
It wasn’t that academic Mages were bad. When these people progressed, their research capabilities would be superb and they could probably make a virtual Divine Spark.
But the precondition was that they progressed.
The two were in a heated exchange of blows.
Magic of all colors flew around, accompanied by the rumbling of explosions.
In this head-to-head combat situation, even Roland didn’t have enough time to muster up the extra magic power to use his ultimate spell, the Blue Inferior Fireball.
And it was the same with Jabezo, who could barely find the time to use more powerful spells.
The two sides had been fighting for more than half an hour, and the place where the two were standing had been blasted flat in a radius of at least five meters.
It was chaos around them, two incongruous states of frost and scorched earth mixed.
Roland’s ice domain was still gradually expanding
At this time, Jabezo was already a little out of breath.
Unlike Roland… though he was a Demigod, after his strength dropped to the Master level, his magic power also followed.
And his body hadn’t fully recovered. Mystra was the Goddess of Magic after all.
Although Jabezo had been awake for nearly fifty years, he still hadn’t fully dispelled the seal on himself.
Besides, he didn’t have the heart to remove it. Most of his time was spent enjoying life. He thought Mystra probably wouldn’t find him.
However, he made a mistake.
More than half an hour had passed now and he was already feeling tired, but across from him, Roland was still relaxed and at ease.
And this was certainly the reality; Roland had at least sixty percent of his magic power left, while Jabezo was already at about thirty percent.
Even the latter’s Magic Shield was already failing.
It was about to break.
If this continued, he would definitely lose.
Jabezo even felt incredulous. How much magic power does this kid have left?
At this moment, he let out a deep breath and changed the form of his Magic Shield to block the front as a giant shield pushed it out with his mental power.
Countless Arcane Bullets, as well as small normal fireballs, blasted at this giant Magic Shield.
A large number of white cracks began to appear on the giant shield from the explosions.
Originally, he didn’t want to use this move. After all, with the body of a Demigod, being forced to this point by a Master, it was truly humiliating.
But he couldn’t care so much now.
Jabezo pointed at Roland before his Magic Shield shattered.
There was a creepy sneer on his face.
“Mage’s Disjunction!”
With Roland at the center, all magic instantly disappeared.
Whether it was the Arcane Bullets in flight or the huge shield that was about to shatter…
