Mage Veigar

Chapter 896 One Sword

impossible!
This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!
"It must be a coincidence."

Carol said this to himself, then gave up this attack and quickly retreated.

In order to verify her guess, Carol changed the angle of attack this time and launched a new attack on Vega from the side.

This was an attack launched after several changes of position. Carol was confident that Vega would never be able to see through it.

But things once again went beyond his expectations.

When he approached Veigar and was about to launch an attack, Veigar's head turned towards him again, and they looked into each other's eyes again. Those eyes were clearly telling him, "I have seen through your trick."

Is it possible for a high-level shadow mage to see through a trick that even a high-level word mage cannot see through?

The possibility of this happening is less than one percent.

But Veigar saw through his trick. So there is only one possibility...

That is, Vega's strength is definitely not weaker than his, and is even stronger than his. Because even if they are of the same level, they cannot see through each other's tricks. Only if they are stronger than him, or have some kind of heaven-defying props, can his tricks be ineffective.

Also at this time.

Carol recalled the feeling of crisis she had felt earlier.

The stronger the strength, the stronger the early warning mechanism for one's own crisis. This is a rare example of a peerless master being assassinated by a third-rate soldier in his sleep. The sense of crisis that could not be dispelled before was obviously not groundless, but was really reminding him that Vega's strength was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

After realizing this, Carol began to back down.

So he gave up the attack again and wanted to withdraw, but this time his desire to leave did not mean that Vega would let him go.

The reason why he did not fight back last time was not because Vega did not want to fight back, but because he was shocked by the crisis warning of the God-level professional.

In fact, he really couldn't see through the Star Shadow Mage's trickery, but the moment he felt the crisis, Vega clearly saw Carol's existence, and hundreds of ways to avoid this attack or even counterattack emerged in his mind.

How to describe this feeling?
To be precise, it is still predicting the future.

However, this time the predicted counterattack was no longer a matter of using the brain at high speed to predict Carol's attack route, but an instinctive, conditioned reflex to predict the future.

The two effects seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different.

Using the mind to predict counterattacks is a very unstable method with a high probability of error, especially when fatigued, the accuracy of the prediction will decrease. However, passive prediction of counterattacks is different, as it does not use the mind at all.

this means……

There is no possibility of error in predicting counterattacks.

The only way for the enemy to kill you is to use a killer move that has no flaws, such as a 100% hit rate divine magic. All other moves will not cause fatal damage as long as there is a way to crack them.

After his promotion, Vega experienced for the first time the power of a god-level professional.

Only returning to nature can describe the horror of those who are professionals in the divine position.

Especially in battle, he felt like he was a battle-hardened master. In his eyes, Carol's fancy tricks were full of flaws and as ridiculous as those of an apprentice who had just started.

It turns out that a true god-level professional, even without learning any god-level combat skills, is strong enough to make people tremble with fear. Compared with a saint-level professional, this is a world of difference.

Vega thought that he might have underestimated the existence of the Godhead.

I'm afraid he hasn't yet discovered even a fraction of the potential of the godhood.

"Let's end this boring battle here."

Veigar's voice echoed with a hint of regret. A war between an apprentice and a grandmaster was indeed not entertaining at all.

As the words fell.

Veigar's backhand sword also arrived. This sword was plain and unadorned, and extremely casual, just like eating and drinking water, picking it up and putting it down.

As seen here.

This sword was indeed a casual one from Vega, without even one percent of his attention being paid to it.

Moreover, he did not seem to intend to end Carol's life with one sword, so he did not use the Holy Martial Arts - beheading.

But even such a casual sword made Carol's eyes widen.

Because at this moment his sense of crisis reached its peak. He had a hunch that if he was hit by this sword, he might die on the spot.

Don't care about anything else.

Carol raised his sword and tried to block the attack.

boom!
It was clearly a commonplace clash of swords, but a huge sonic boom was heard, and gusts of wind that could devour anyone emanated from the center of the two weapons. The ground where the two men stood also began to crack, and then the ground sank to a depth of one meter with Vega and Carol as the center.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the two reappeared in everyone's sight.

Vega had put away his weapon and stood in front of Carol, looking down at him. There was not even a speck of dust on his clothes. Carol knelt on one knee, barely supporting himself with a broken sword, but his whole body was stained with blood.

lost.

Complete defeat.

Before the battle began, he threatened to kill Veigar with five swords.

But in the end, he was defeated by Vega's sword, and he could clearly feel that the sword just now did not have any killing intent. A move without killing intent was so terrifying. If it had killing intent...

Carol could no longer imagine what the scene was like.

Over the years, he felt that his strength had made great progress, and he finally narrowed the gap with Vega and even stood above Vega.

But now he discovered it.

In the end, Veigar had reached a height that even he couldn't understand, but he was complacent about being promoted to a star mage.

"Can you... let me go?"

Carol lowered his head and humbly begged Vega to let him go. He did not dare to raise his head because he was afraid that his unwilling and angry look would anger Vega.

"Tell me everything you know, and I'll consider letting you go."

Vega still showed a greedy face and told the reason why he showed mercy just now. He was very curious about how Carol was promoted to a star-level shadow mage, so he wanted to dig out all of Carol's secrets before killing her.

“You don’t keep people who have no value.”

Carol suddenly raised her head with a sarcastic look.

He obviously saw through Vega's reason for showing mercy, and therefore concluded that this statement was a lie.

If he told the secret, Vega would probably kill him in the next second.

"But if you don't tell me, do you think I will forgive you?"

Vega obviously saw through Carol's heart and sentenced Carol to death.

“Persistence will lead to results, which is the biggest lie in the world.”

Carol slowly closed her eyes: "Some dreams, the more you insist on them, the more desperate they become."
