Mage Veigar

Chapter 517 You Chase Me and I Hide
Murderous intent overflowed.

Unfortunately, Vega was unaware of it.

He never took Carol seriously from beginning to end.

Because weapons are something that really depends on who is using them. If a three-year-old child is using it, then no matter how powerful the weapon is, adults have hundreds of ways to restrain the child and take away the weapon.

In Vega's impression...

It cannot be described by an impression, but rather by the experience gained from countless battles. Carol is indeed a person who does not like to use his brain much, but prefers to use brute force to solve problems.

because of this.

Even if Carol has the attack power of a star-level professional, Vega thinks that as long as she doesn't get hit by the opponent, isn't that enough?
As for Okasos’s guidance?
After all, Carol is not a puppet. Let's not talk about whether he can completely obey Ocasos' orders. Even if he will execute Ocasos' orders 100%, he will be deceiving Ocasos as well.

Taking it for granted?
No! This is the confidence gained through countless battles!

In Vega's combat philosophy.

There is absolutely no difference between a 1v1 battle and a war.

Since ancient times, the strong have sharpened their teeth, while the weak have competed with their wisdom. The strong use their own strength to travel around, while the weak use strategies, strategies, and tactics to twist the throats of those who are complacent.

Then things are simple.

When fighting a war where the enemy is strong and we are weak, we usually cannot confront the enemy head-on, but should learn to avoid the strong and attack the weak.

And so on.

Vega has already tested how strong Carol's attack power is, so why bother taking another attack from the opponent? He has no SM tendencies, so he can now completely avoid the opponent's attacks and break through the opponent's weak points.

Carol is strong.

If his whole body is indestructible, then Vega really has no way to deal with him. All he can do now is to run away, but his only strong points are one arm and a sword, so he might as well avoid the strong and attack the weak!
Without saying a word, Vega exchanged for a control ward and stuck it into the ground.

This was prepared to see through Carol's trickery.

If Carol is the only one there, there is no need to use the exchange points to create a control guard. That is a sheer waste. You can just use the induced attack to make Carol lose her mind.

But there is an additional Okasos in command.

To be on the safe side, Vega finally decided to exchange for such a control guard to ensure his safety, because with his magic power and mental strength, he could only be attacked by Carol three more times at most, and after three times he would really die.

This was also right after Vega inserted the control ward.

Carol attacked again at Ocasos's urging.

He activated the trick again and launched an attack towards Vega, but all of this was exposed to Vega's field of vision due to the existence of the control guard. Since he could see the opponent's movements clearly, Vega certainly didn't need to expose any flaws to induce Carol's attack, which would be superfluous.

Easily dodged Carol's sword.

Vega took this opportunity to quickly retreat and retrieve the Storm Sword that had just been knocked away.

Carol didn't care that her attack missed, and instead chased after Vega.

Okasos, who was standing on the high platform, watched the fight between the two carefully. As a Star Mage with rich experience in 1v1 and even 1vN, he had discovered that Veigar's performance was obviously different from before.

"Carol, the other party has seen through your trick."

Okasos reminded Carol again: "You don't need to be cautious and sneak attack now, attack openly. Your task is to make him take your attack head-on no matter what. I will remind you about defense."

"is teacher!"

Carol thanked him gratefully, then focused on attacking Vega.

This strategy was undoubtedly correct. What Vega feared most now was a close encounter with Carol, because if he even touched her, he would lose his Shadow Transformation again. Carol just had that little IQ.

Vega can easily see through the opponent's attack trajectory and evade it in advance. As the two have almost the same speed, Carol has no chance of touching the corner of Vega's clothes.

But at this time, Vega was also unable to hurt Carol.

Because Okasos on the platform has been reminding Carol about the trajectory of Vega's every counterattack, so that Carol can use his right hand to defend in advance, and Vega cannot hurt Carol at all.

The battle ended in a stalemate.

One is as agile as a dragon and cannot be touched by a single leaf; the other is invulnerable to swords and spears and can withstand any blows from you.

When the two of them used all their martial arts, their magic power and mental strength became less and less.

Vega began to get a little impatient. He didn't know how much magic power and mental strength Carol had left. If the two of them continued to consume like this, it was unknown who would be the final winner.

At this time, Vega was hesitating whether to play his trump card.

In this battle, he did have a trump card that he hadn't played yet. If Okasos wasn't here, Vega would certainly use it boldly, striving to deliver a fatal blow.

However, with Okasos's presence, Vega did not dare to act rashly until the last moment.

Of course, Okasos also began to get impatient.

He didn't know how much magic and mental power Carol had left, nor did he know how much magic and mental power Vega had. If they fought a protracted battle and Carol's magic and mental power were exhausted first, then all their efforts would be wasted.

Now he realized that he had underestimated Vega.

If he had known that Vega could play Carol around and make Carol's arm, a Holy Shadow Mage, unable to exert any power, he would never have dared to place all his bets on Carol, but would have looked for other ways.

The matter has come to this, and there is no other way.

As a star mage with extremely rich combat experience, Okasos would certainly not be as short-sighted as Carol. He began to look around the field, starting from the overall situation, trying to find a breakthrough point.

This search really made him discover something wrong——

Control the guard.

He recalled that Vega did not see through Carol's trick at first, but used the method of inducing attack to predict Carol's attack trajectory and counterattack. The final result was that after he saw through this, he directly ordered Carol to change the original attack method, causing Vega to take Carol's attack.

But now Vega's situation is that he has obviously seen through Carol's trick.

Why is there such a big gap between before and after?

Okasos has set his sights on the control guard on the field.

He realized that after the prop was placed there, Carol's trick was useless. So by analogy, as long as the device was destroyed, Vega would no longer be able to see through Carol's trick.

As long as the trickery is effective again, with him directing the attack, Vega will be able to capture the enemy easily.

After figuring this out, Okasos shouted loudly: "Carol, destroy the red magic prop at the three o'clock position!"

Carol, of course, obeyed Ocasos.

After hearing this, he shook off Vega and rushed towards the device, raising the sword in his hand and swung it.

boom!
This attack did not destroy the control guard, but only left it slightly damaged.

And where is Vega at this time?
He was not as panicked as imagined, but there was excitement in his eyes.

Because victory was finally in his hands.
