Chapter 279: The Deep Sea |
"Seeing through"
The Little Magic Eye, itself, can target physical and magical attacks.
It sees through the path of a physical attack and identifies the 'weak point'.
Seeing through the internal chakra and flow of magic reveals where the 'core' of magic lies.
Take the case of fireball magic.
Once you can see the fireball flight process, precisely break the core ... fire element itself will no longer be bound and unable to maintain the fireball form ... thus achieving 'magic breaking'.
Han Dong let Dempsey come over to cut the spar, just to verify this point of the little magic eye.
On the ground.
A short sword carried by a fungal colony was sent back to Han Dong's hand.
Han Dong frowned even looked at Dempsey.
Broken magic, which for a magician was a humiliation.
Dempsey no longer had a smile on his face but began to take the match seriously.
The ice elemental converged.
In its place, a white line soon spread throughout Dempsey's body, through the veins under his skin.
And two 'cloud' imprints were constructed at the ankle position.
Wow~~
A pale white cloak appeared.
Destiny Equipment - 'Som's Strong Wind Cloak (Fine)'
Its quality was equivalent to the 'Coral Seal' on Han Dong's finger.
It can provide 15% wind attribute enhancement to the wearer and adapts to form a 'wind barrier' to reduce the damage caused by long-range attacks.
Full wind attribute.
When Dempsey moved sideways.
His speed surprisingly surpassed that of Abel Rayne in his wolf form. He even leaves some shadows during his movement using subtle wind control.
He also wears the "Caster's Ring (Premium)" on both hands.
The ring is made from a magical crystal that optimises the saving and release of magic power, making it easier to cast spells with both hands.
Already, two sharps, even thundering 'wind blades' are forming in the palm of his hand.
With Dempsey's ultra-fast movement.
At a speed of two blades per second, they attacked Han Dong from different directions
"Infinite Seeing"
In the face of the wind blade attack, Han Dong only moves within a one-metre radius, using his short-sword to delicately pierce the magic core within the blade.
Once punctured, the wind blade instantly turns into ordinary air and does not cause any damage.
Slowly, as his body adapted, Han Dong left the task of breaking the wind blades to his right arm.
Through the giant eye on his right arm, he was able to perform adaptive defence.
In this fixed mode, the right arm's adaption was instead a little more precise than Han Dong's subjective control.
"Little Devil's Eye" + "G-arm" = white knives with empty hands
Han Dong's physical eyes were then fixed on Dempsey the whole time, observing the third hand hidden behind him.
"This Dempsey guy has a deep secret ... that goes out of its way to 'attract attention' with such high-intensity magic consumption, hiding the means to truly decide a winner completely."
The iron-covered 'grimoire' was held in his third hand.
Moreover, an additional mouth had sprouted from the palm of the living hand and was reading a particular passage from the spell book.
Advanced magical chanting.
Some sort of distinctive magic was slowly weaving its configuration with the picking of the 'sixth finger'.
"No wonder I had a vague feeling of shuddering as I struck through the wind blade.
Once the chant is finished, high-level magic that is extremely difficult to break through the core and impossible to dodge is thrown at my head... things will be in real trouble.
I've got a journey of destiny to make tomorrow, Dempsey is relentless."
Same time.
Han Dong's inner lining of the "corpse feather coat" actively activated, a feather slightly standing up while at a 30° oblique angle.
Combined with the griffin boots and Han Dong's raven attribute.
This gives Han Dong an extremely high level of mobility.
No more breaking the wind blades one by one.
For a while, Han Dong was like a black crow.
Seeing and dodging each wind blade, he forced his way towards Dempsey as fast as he could, even if he didn't manage to dodge it completely.
When the wind blades met the "Corpse Feather Coat", the black feathers on the surface floated, surprisingly changing the path of the wind blades and cutting through the body without causing any damage.
If Han Dong could interrupt the chant and stop the spell from being cast, the session would be over.
Neither man was slow.
But Dempsey was casting the wind blade in a 'circular' circle.
All Han Dong had to do was follow the 'tangent line' and he would just collide with Dempsey head-on ...
If viewed from above, it looks like a scavenging black crow fluttering its wings, opening its beak wide, and raising its claws towards a beautiful white bird.
Just as the two are about to collide.
The chanting was suddenly complete.
However, casting a destructive spell at close range is a very unwise choice, and the subject of the spell will be caught up in it, or even hurt a little more.
It was enough to keep Dempsey pinned down before the spell could be thrown.
But ... the situation was a little different.
Dempsey gave a small smile.
"Vice-captain, I guessed ahead of time that you would be able to completely dodge 'Wind Blade', and, with your powers of observation, you would surely be able to spot me chanting in the dark and would inevitably choose to take the initiative to get close to me and interrupt me in this act.
Also, the distance of your eyes' influence should be no more than thirty centimetres.
If you are not completely close, it does not matter."
Kirikiri!
An aura of contamination spread out from Dempsey's body.
The "sixth finger" diffused into a highly polluting aquamarine tentacle that even had a 'suction cup' structure attached to it.
The chant activates the formation in the book.
Kirikou!
The tentacle penetrated deep into the formation and seemed to drag something inside.
Swish!
Sea water splashes.
A deep-sea lance inlaid with shells and coral curled out from this tentacle.
"A melee mage?!" Han Dong was greatly alarmed.
Such a deep-sea lance that came from nowhere gave Han Dong a sense of intrinsic danger.
This was what Dempsey had intended from the very beginning.
To set up a multi-layered maze to lure Han Dong closer.
Adept at harnessing the lance, he was able to fix the fighting distance to a distance that the 'Little Devil's Eye' could not visually affect through this medium-length weapon.
Once this spear was out.
Han Dong, with only a plague short sword, could not possibly be a match.
The tip of the spear stirred.
Han Dong was like being plunged into a deep-sea area, surrounded by a large deep-sea octopus, unable to 'see through' at all.
"Nicholas!!!"
Mia on the side of the field also panicked ... If this continues, Han Dong might be seriously injured!
The four spider legs quickly crawled and came forward to help.
However, the distance was so far apart that they could not catch up at all.
However, the next scene that happened made Mia freeze for a moment.
......
Facing the mysterious lance that was about to pierce his chest.
(Clang clang clang! A searing hot iron chain was drilled out from between Han Dong's arms.
With the protection of the chains, Han Dong grabbed the tip of the lance with maximum strength ...
The lance's piercing was held steady at one centimetre in front of his chest.
Dempsey frowned.
Decisively, he withdrew the lance.
The lance was withdrawn and turned into a stream of deep blue seawater, flowing back into the grimoire.
The human body's refined third arm disappeared with it.
Martin Dempsey returned to his normal apprentice appearance, slightly bowing his head in front of Han Dong, and politely saying, "Vice-Captain is more skilled, I concede defeat."
Han Dong took a deep breath.
The scorching iron chain wrapped around the surface of his right arm slowly retracted into his enlarged pores.
Yes, this was none other than Togo's Hell Iron Chain ... Han Dong had temporarily borrowed it as the main body.
The short time of use also caused Han Dong's right arm to be badly burned.
Otherwise.
That shot just now would have killed him.
"Brother Dempsey ... you still have some abilities that you have not used, right?"
Dempsey covered his face with a smile, and his extremely attached voice issued.
"Isn't the lieutenant the same? But ... the vice-captain can have a major mission tomorrow, so let's cut to the chase ... if you don't mind, let's go have dinner together?"
Said the man.
Dempsey also 'habitually' put his arm on Han Dong's shoulder.
