Chapter 1038: Volume 33, Where to Go, - 26, The Battle that Sways the City (9)
To counter this type of mixed magic, the best approach was to employ the same method against the caster, and Rebry was certainly aware of his old friend Lorenzo’s magical foundation. To easily crush his opponent was clearly impossible; this was a grueling and enduring battle. It was far too early to presume who would win or lose.
The slate-grey Mage Robe bulged slightly as Rebry lightly brought his hands together, staring straight ahead with his eyes, while his index and middle fingers continuously changed gestures. His lips also moved subtly, as if he was casting some kind of silent spell.
Soon, under a brilliant sunshine-filled sky, some anomalies began to occur, as if a chill wind blew in from the horizon. The sunlight seemed to suddenly grow dim, and a sweep of black shadow flashed across the sky, stirring up a fierce wind above the Obelisk.
The violent wind stirred the air and threw the elemental aura into chaos. Magicians could feel the Magic Elements wildly scattering throughout space, much like a massive spell had lost control. The surging elemental aura was penetrating everywhere, with a rapidly growing intensity, which left the magicians both shocked and frightened. Could this be a Magic Array gone out of control, or was it a sign of a grand magical ritual? And who would be the target of this magic?
Another mixed magic?! Lorenzo also felt his opponent’s attack power. It seemed his old friend had also brought some "surprises" for him. It appeared that not only had he been advancing his skills, but his opponent had not fallen behind one bit.
The wild elemental aura disrupted the effectiveness of the Light Charm completely, and at the same time, that black shadow locked onto him. It seemed Rebry was not only intent on destroying the power of the Light Charm but also aimed directly at him, seeking to eradicate him root and branch!
The shadow multiplied several times in just an instant, striking down at Lorenzo with the ferocity of thunder.
Lorenzo’s expression turned solemn. From the moment he took that step, Lorenzo knew that this battle with his old friend would be a fight to the death, a battle that would determine the fate of both, with no one holding back.
His fingers gracefully waved through the air, conjuring a splendid wave-shaped Light Shield that proudly appeared above Lorenzo’s head. Though it was a passive response to the attack, the fierce dark shadow could not penetrate the pale yellow Light Shield, which seemed to absorb the dark shadows cast from above like endless specks of dust.
Rebry’s expression shifted slightly; this was the Shield of the Holy Angel!
Back when he first joined the Church of Light, his greatest wish had been to have the ability to unleash the Shield of the Holy Angel. It could absorb any force antithetical to it, especially those of the dark kind. Although he had successfully cast mixed magic just now, and Elemental Magic had had the desired effect he wanted to see, he hadn’t anticipated that his opponent would counter his stronger Dark Devouring Power.
