Chapter 26: The Final Confrontation

  A blue flame erupted from the magic crystal and blazed fiercely, while at the same time the magical fluctuations around it finally reached their limit.

  As a brief and urgent incantation was chanted, an old plum forest suddenly burst into flames on his hands, only to see that the staff in his hand suddenly stopped, and the people present felt that the space around them was distorted. A red lotus flower, as if from hell, with a long tail flame, rushed towards the emerald tower amidst the howling sound.

  Just as the red lotus was about to burst, Grian's staff in his hand made a horizontal move, and there was a brief and urgent chanting. Immediately outside the gate of the emerald tower, a blue-green screen suddenly rose up, and the red lotus fell on the water curtain, just like stones falling into the water, only ripples were generated.

  "Damn your mother, Old Mei Lin!" A furious roar came from the tower, accompanied by Ge An's angry questioning: "What is your mother's surname? You old turtle egg, are you trying to dismantle the Jade Tower?"

  Lao Meilin, however, didn't pay him any attention and continued to chant the incantation rapidly. The blue flame on the head of her staff roared to life again, unleashing another wave of flames that rained down from the sky, striking the water-blue light screen with a loud "sizzling" sound.

  "You're done for!" Grian roared, and the azure light screen was instantly stretched to its limits. Immediately afterwards, a pair of chubby hands formed a strange gesture, and in an instant, a surge of magical elements burst forth from underground.

  And where that magical element surged up was just the steps under Cromwell's feet.

  Lao Meilin's face suddenly changed, the staff in his hand stretched out fiercely, and it happened to be placed on Cromwell's shoulder. Before he could understand what was going on, the magic crystal at the top of the staff had already presented a strange distortion, as if it had suddenly turned into a pair of large hands, tightly grasping Cromwell.

  Following Cromwell, I suddenly felt a lightness in my body, and my whole person was pulled to the back of Old Merlin.

  Almost at the same time, two sharp stone thorns had burst out of the ground, piercing the earth fiercely.

  Keren turned his head and felt a chill run down his spine.

  If either of those two stone stabs gets stuck in the body, even if there were ten Cromwells together, they would all be finished...

  Seizing the opportunity, Ge Lan had already taken a step out of the tower and with the support of his floating technique, his chubby body was already suspended in mid-air as soon as he exited the Emerald Tower. Without any hesitation, long passages of incantations flowed from his mouth, while his plump hands continuously formed mysterious and obscure hand seals.

  Lao Meilin pushed Cromwell away with one hand and went forward fearlessly.

  Time seemed to stand still outside the emerald high tower, where magical elements were surging wildly. The dazzling magic collisions triggered an incomparably brilliant light display. Just as Old Mei Lin floated into the air, the two had already exchanged nearly ten blows, each attack a powerful high-level magic that was unmatched in might.

  Lin Li stood far away under the tower, watching the duel between the two powerful mages. He suddenly realized that his previous way of fighting was not so perfect after all.

  A large number of low-level magic bursts can indeed have an unexpected effect, but in the face of absolute power, low-level magic becomes a joke. Not to mention Old Merlin's fire rain, even if I were to use wind blades to shoot at the water-blue light screen that Grian held up, I wouldn't know when it would be effective.

  This is a typical duel between magicians, and their way of fighting is undoubtedly the most traditional.

  There is no control at all, nor is there any counter-control.

  They are competing for absolute power, who has the greater magical power, who has more magic, and who will ultimately win.

  Of course, this isn't to say that instant magic is bad, it's just that sometimes, instant isn't everything.

  Both of the two great mages had the ability to instantaneously cast low-level magic, and were even more proficient than Lin Li. However, from start to finish, they never instantaneously cast a single spell, because in their hearts, they knew that the magic they could instantaneously cast was fundamentally unable to pose any threat to each other.

  As for the long incantation chanting, it is no different from seeking death in a battle of this level.

  Even if it's just a second slower, it's enough to make people fall into an irretrievable situation.

  The two almost simultaneously chose to take the middle road, with brief and urgent incantations and quick gestures, creating a grand yet ever-changing battlefield.

  After understanding the key, Lin Li was even more focused on watching this battle. Throughout the process, he didn't even blink once. Every gesture and every chant of the two were firmly etched in his mind. As the intense magical collisions occurred one after another, Lin Li gradually understood many questions that he had not been able to understand before, and at the same time, he also had many doubts that he had never thought about before.

  If it's said that among all the people present, who benefited the most from this battle, then without a doubt, it was Lin.

  The legendary magician's words and deeds had long laid the most solid foundation for him, and his unique magical talent had given him a far superior understanding of the situation. To everyone else, this battle was just a spectacular display of magic, but to Lin Li, it was a profound lesson.

  When the battle reached its climax, Lin Li even forgot his own existence. He was completely absorbed in this magical collision, with every thread of his mind fluctuating with the ups and downs of the situation, and every nerve violently trembling along with the magical elements.

  This is a state of mind that is almost like entering a meditative state, and Lin Li is immersed in this state, as if he has gained an independent world. In this world, he is approaching the essence of magic at an unbelievable speed.

  "Boom!" Both sides collided again, causing a shocking and earth-shaking impact. The two massive magical powers created a ripple effect, pushing Lin Lie back several steps. A few sparks of scorching heat fell from the sky, drawing beautiful trajectories in the air.

  This earth-shattering blow finally put an end to this magnificent battle.

  In the midst of the flames that filled the sky, two figures were slowly falling down, a sign that their magic was exhausted.

  "Amazing!" Lin Li never thought that such a classic and perfect duel would end with both sides exhausting their magic...

  Innumerable powerful magic spells had finally exhausted the last bit of magical power from both of them.

  The two people's magic was almost depleted at the same time, and they slowly fell from the air, relying only on the buffering of the floating technique.
