Magic Battle (2)

Tyler's real move was to come later, which was now. He quickly chanted a spell and the visible magic ripples on his raised wand trembled rapidly.

Gleson was about to cast an attack spell, but when he saw Tyler's move, his face suddenly changed. He immediately dispelled the already formed magic and replaced it with a giant flame shield in front of him.

An intermediate defense magic, the Fire Spirit Shield! Drogo had seen Gleson cast the Fire Spirit Shield in a previous exam, but the shield at this moment was several times larger than before. It was clear that Gleson was going all out in defense. It was also imaginable that the magic Tyler was about to cast was definitely not simple.

"... The glory of the spirit of life, where the stars fall... the right arm of the spirit of the ancient tree!" Tyler's verbose incantation finally burst out the last syllable, and his magic also took shape.

At the top of Tyler's raised wand, the wood element frantically converged, forming into the shape of a fist in just an instant. This fist was incredibly large, with finger joints that were half a meter thick. There were shimmering runic patterns on it, which looked like the tree rings of a tree that had grown for thousands of years.

Drogo's memory made him recognize at a glance that Tyler was using one of the few attack spells in the wood element magic, the right arm of the spirit of the ancient tree. This magic was only a fifth-level spell, but it required more magic power than most intermediate-level spells. Correspondingly, its power was absolute, and it could be considered the most powerful of all the intermediate-level spells in the wood element.

"Drink!" Tyler shouted loudly, thrusting his wand forward, and the magic-formed fist was like a thunderbolt, roaring towards Gleson.

Drogo was worried for Gleson when he found out that Tyler was using the right arm of the spirit of the ancient tree. He couldn't be sure if Gleson could successfully block this powerful magic. But when Tyler really released the magic, Drogo's hanging heart was put down.

Because he found that although the power of this magic was strong, if he looked closely, he would find that the fist-shaped magic was not solid enough, and many places looked blurry. This meant that Tyler couldn't fully control this magic, and he couldn't fully exert its power.

An incomplete magic, an incompletely exerted power, Gleson's superior strength and far surpassing magic power would be able to withstand this blow without much danger, at most it would just consume some magic power. And when Gleson blocked this magic, the result of this confrontation would also be revealed. Because this spell had exhausted all of Tyler's magic power, he no longer had the strength to fight again.

Boom--

The right arm of the spirit of the ancient tree was much larger than the fire spirit shield released by Gleson. The impact on the fire spirit shield was like an adult's fist hitting a baby's hand. The tremendous force caused Gleson to take several steps back, and the fire spirit shield in front of him was already half shattered from the first collision...

Despite retreating several steps, Gleson managed to stabilize his stance. Although the shield was half shattered, he still had the other half suspended in front of him. He had managed to block the first strike of the ancient tree's right arm.

However, Gleson did not let his guard down after blocking the attack. Instead, he frantically circulated the magic power within him and conjured up another fire spirit shield. He knew very well that the magic was far from over.

The right arm of the spirit of the ancient tree, known as the strongest wood-based magic under advanced magic, was certainly not so simple. As long as the caster's magic power was not depleted and the right fist of the condensed magic was not dispersed, the attack would never stop.

Just as Gleson finished conjuring up the fire spirit shield, the second attack from the ancient tree's right arm arrived. There was another loud bang, and Gleson was once again forced back.

However, this time, Gleson only retreated three steps before stabilizing his stance. The fire spirit shield in his hand had only become slightly dimmer, instead of being shattered like the first time.

"Just one strike, it seems I have overestimated this Tyler," Drogo, who was watching the battle, raised his eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief. Tyler was even worse than he had thought. The second attack launched by the spirit of the ancient tree's right arm was already noticeably weaker, indicating that the first attack had already depleted much of his magic power.

"Heh! Tyler, is that all you've got? Not even close to enough to impress me!" Gleson stabilized his stance and sneered at Tyler. He did not passively wait for the third attack from the ancient tree's right arm, but chose to take the initiative and launch an attack himself.

Gleson waved his right hand, dispelling the fire spirit shield magic. Then, with a loud and mysterious incantation, a dazzling ball of fire rose up between Gleson and Tyler.

At the same time, the third attack of the Ancient Tree's right arm arrived and struck directly at the ball of flames. However, the result was even more devastating than the previous two attacks. The seemingly powerful magic punch was completely swallowed by the flames without even a spark flying. Only after the Ancient Tree's right arm disappeared completely into the fire did Gleson's magic take on its final form.

Standing in the field was clearly a ball of fire, but it took on a humanoid shape. This was the intermediate magic spell Fire Elemental Summoning, one of the strongest intermediate fire magic spells, similar to the Ancient Tree Spirit's right arm.

Both were intermediate magic spells and both were claimed to be the strongest, so Fire Elemental Summoning and the Ancient Tree Spirit's right arm should have been evenly matched. However, because of the difference in the caster, they produced different results.

Tyler's magic had been broken, and his magical power had been completely exhausted by casting a magic spell that exceeded his own strength. He had already lost. But Gleson obviously didn't plan to let him go like that, otherwise he wouldn't have summoned the Fire Elemental. Taking advantage of the opportunity, this was Gleson's plan.

Gleson's face was covered in a red light, not because he was shy, but because he had expended a great deal of magical power. Fire Elemental Summoning required more magical power than the Ancient Tree Spirit's right arm, and even with Gleson's control, it was not easy.

Gleson didn't have the energy to speak, so he pointed his wand forward and the fiercely burning Fire Elemental rushed towards Tyler, who was lying on the ground.

Drogo squinted his eyes. If nothing unexpected happened now, Tyler would definitely be killed by Gleson. Even if Fennimore intervened, he wouldn't be able to handle Gleson's fully-powered Fire Elemental.

Would it really go so smoothly? The answer would soon become clear. Just as Gleson's controlled Fire Elemental was about to pounce on Tyler, Drogo's eyes suddenly twitched, and the red figure below the field suddenly disappeared...
