You are all my wings!

Maggie waved her wand.

call out!!!!

Even without wind, the poisonous gas was dissipated in an instant.

Then, six more vines sprouted from where she was standing, shooting out rapidly towards Lyon.

This time, Leon didn't use Shadow Leap. Instead, he judged the direction at normal speed and then dodged.

Magic is becoming increasingly precious, so he now uses as few skills as possible.

On the contrary, physical strength is quite durable as long as combat skills are not used, especially in terms of dodging.

Fortunately, with his agility of nearly fifty, ordinary attacks simply cannot hit him.

This is similar to the experience of encountering a carnivorous plant before he even leveled up, but his attributes have improved significantly, allowing him to handle the situation with ease.

But this ease only refers to dodging.

He tried several times and found that without using Shadow Leap or Shadow Step, he could no longer easily get close to Machiru.

However, if you use Shadow Leap to get close to Machiru, you will obviously be blocked by the vines around her.

Judging from the speed of the opponent's vines, the closer they get to Machiru, the faster they become.

The option of quickly closing in to inflict further damage was, as expected, abandoned.

As for the intermediate spells, he considered whether to use them, but after observation, he decided to give them up for the time being.

Based on my past experience, although Machiru's skin wasn't as special as Utaman's or Andrio's, her magic robe was clearly a fourth-tier piece of equipment.

In addition, with her intermediate defensive magic, even if her defenses are breached by just one or two intermediate spells, her combat power will not be greatly reduced. On the contrary, it will cause Leon's magic power to become increasingly depleted.

"But simply dodging won't work. I need to keep her magic at a relatively high rate of consumption, and I also need to make her reluctant to use powerful spells so that I can buy myself more time. Once she uses her ultimate move, I'll be in big trouble... I've got it."

Lyon had an idea and came up with a plan.

At this point, Maggie seemed to be getting a little impatient and couldn't help but interrupt Leon.

"Stop running! I have a lot of magic power, more than the Long-lived Ones. You think you can stall for time? Not so easy."

Lyon chuckled inwardly at Maggie's suggestive words, thinking, "Even if you have a lot of magic, you still have to use it all up."

He did not waver, continuing to dodge the vines, rolling and leaping around the desert.

Then, each time he dodged, he acted as if he was struggling, as if he would be hit at any moment.

This gave Machiru renewed patience, and she didn't even consider unleashing a more powerful spell.

He simply increased the number of vines again, with two more extending from his side, continuing to strike at Lyon.

This result was exactly what Lyon wanted.

Maggie's psychology was very subtle. Just like when Leon played Jump Jump in his previous life, the overly simple and straightforward gameplay always made him feel that he could jump further next time.

His feigned struggle to evade the situation gave Machiru a false sense of security: if I were just a little faster this time, I would definitely catch him!

However, if time dragged on, Maggie would definitely become suspicious, so Leon timely activated his trust aura and focused it on her.

Chapter 95 Mastering New Techniques

Initially, the effects of betting on the trust halo were not obvious.

However, since Maggie was still in control and had many powerful moves yet, she did indeed maintain the consumption of these eight vines and repeatedly pulled back and forth with Leon, just as Leon had planned.

This is, of course, also because of her physical defect, which makes her prefer to use basic magic to solve problems rather than use higher-level magic.

The larger the scale of the magic, the more mental pollution it will inevitably bring to her, thus affecting her condition.

However, if it is only basic magic, then the intensity of mental pollution is still somewhat controllable.

Although the eight vines consumed a considerable amount of energy, it was still within her acceptable range.

Leon had precisely anticipated this psychology of hers, and used his evasion to accelerate the depletion of Machiru's magic power.

Thus, the two maintained a state of constant flashing and shooting, repeatedly entangled and weaving back and forth within a small area, maneuvering and shifting.

But as time went on, their battle gradually took a strange turn.

On one hand, there's Leon, whose dodging skills are gradually becoming more and more sharp, and he even seems to be subtly incorporating the Shadow Step into his dodging habits.

He even noticed the updates to the panel information.

[Alone against a fourth-tier opponent, tenaciously dodging, utilizing the Shadow Step technique, mastering the art of evasion, Agility +2]

[Repeatedly using the Shadow Step technique accelerates the digestion of accumulated monster energy within the body, increasing stamina by 1.]

These two pieces of information flashed by quickly, but Leon was focused on dodging the vine attacks from Machiru and didn't have much time or energy to pay attention to them.

But he knew he had become lighter.

Unconsciously, I have gained a deeper understanding of the combat techniques of the Shadow Step.

So combat skills are different and have to be used like fixed skills?

Once mastered, it can be integrated with other techniques, just like magic.

These insights flowed unconsciously through his mind, making it easier for him to dodge.

On the other hand, as Maggie Lu fought, she was gradually drawn to Leon's beautiful and graceful dodging techniques, and unconsciously began to hold back her strength when she fought.

Of course, she also realized the problem and sped up her attack.

But after speeding up for a while, she unconsciously changed her strange thoughts, which made her unable to resist stopping at the last moment.

Given time, she would eventually try to change her strategy, gritting her teeth to unleash her ultimate move and take down Leon in one fell swoop.

But when the time came, she hesitated and ultimately decided against using her ultimate move.

She hasn't realized that it's the halo of trust that's at work.

Instead, I comforted myself with this thought:

"It's alright. A mere second-tier cultivator can't cause any trouble for me. Although his agility is more like that of a fourth-tier cultivator than a second-tier one, it's probably due to some special magical item. That's good too, as it allows me to observe this soon-to-be-acquired test subject more closely."

Several minutes passed quietly like this.

At this moment, the crucial battle between Iris, Britta, and Andrio has reached its most critical juncture.

At first, Andrio kept controlling the centipede, leaping up and down, stirring up the sand and making the battlefield a mess, which greatly affected the vision of Iris and Britta.

At the same time, Andrio also used the skill of directly activating the centipede to launch a veiled attack.

As soon as the skill was activated, the surrounding sand and dust rose up and turned into a series of sand missiles that shot towards Iris and Britta at high speed.

This move appears righteous at first glance, but it is actually very well concealed. Hidden within the flying sand is an attack with finer, more imperceptible sand.

If you only dodge, you will inevitably be hit by the smaller shot even if you dodge the big one.

Faced with this attack, Britta could only activate a mid-level holy defense spell to temporarily protect herself and Iris.

Intermediate-level Holy Defense magic consumes a lot of mana. In the entanglement with the Centipede Sandworm's skill, Britta's mana was constantly being depleted, causing her to frown.

At this moment, Iris began to condense the Spear of Judgment and fired it out one after another.

Besides being her strongest single-target attack spell, the Spear of Judgment also has another excellent characteristic.

That's a sure win!

Once the target is linked, the Judgment Spear will hit the target location no matter what.

Andrio's combination with the centipede at this point turned out to be a mistake.

Although they can use the magic power remaining in the body of the centipede to unleash various skills, this also makes them inconvenient to move around and difficult to dodge, forcing them to constantly use defensive magic and the Judgment Spear to fight head-on.

With Iris's current total magic power, she could easily unleash thirty Judgment Spears at once, each with power comparable to a mid-level spell.

Taking into account the magic power that the Tess of the Universe she was constantly chewing could accelerate her recovery, it was entirely possible that she could fire three or four more Judgment Spears during a battle.

In this way, even if Andrio constantly uses defensive magic to resist the Spear of Judgment, there will eventually come a time when he can no longer withstand it.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Andrio kept manipulating the centipede to move its body, but he couldn't escape the Judgment Spear that Iris kept shooting at him, and could only passively hold his ground.

In order to ensure that Iris's Judgment Spear would actually hit Andrio, rather than just be a battle of defensive magic against him, Britta maintained her defensive magic while also taking the opportunity to chant Holy Annihilation magic.

Upon seeing the sixth shot, in which both sides were locked in a stalemate, she finished her incantation and unleashed this long-awaited ultimate move.

Saint Annihilation!

A magnificent holy light suddenly appeared, sweeping out and instantly moving from below to the lower part of the centipede's body, then sweeping upwards and blasting towards Andrio.

The centipede had already withstood a Holy Annihilation attack, but thanks to its immense vitality and the enhancement of Andrio's alchemical magic, it had not yet lost its fighting ability.

But when Britta released another Holy Annihilation, this monster with the thickest blood at the fourth rank finally exhausted all its magic and life force, turning into a large pool of blood that sprayed down from mid-air.

Only the part connecting the head and Andrio remained intact as it fell from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the holy light continued to sweep across Andrio.

With a pop, Andrio's intermediate defensive magic shattered.

BOOM!!!

The remaining power of the Judgment Spear struck Andrio in the chest, piercing a tiny spot the size of a centimeter on his magic robe before dissipating.

At the same time, the light of holy annihilation also fell upon the magic robe that Andrio had just acquired.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

This magic robe was clearly a decent fourth-tier equipment, but it only withstood the Holy Annihilation for a few seconds before it began to burn to a charred yellow color and emit a strange smell.

A while later, the magic robe completely turned into charred fragments, scattering from Andrio's body and revealing his strangely pale and sickly skin.

It was transplanted from the skin of a fifth-order pseudo-fallen angel.

The holy light continued to fall upon him, burning his pale skin to a half-yellow, half-black hue, before ceasing its effect.

However, although the Holy Annihilation no longer caused any damage, it firmly suppressed Andrio, forcing him to mobilize his magic to resist the attack and preventing him from doing anything else for the time being.

Chapter 96 Original Blood Transformation

Bretta, who witnessed this scene from afar, sighed softly to herself.

Just as Leon had said, his move was close to a high-level spell, but it was ultimately unable to overcome the opponent's high magic resistance.

Of course, if Britta were to fire three or four shots in a row, she didn't believe Andrio could withstand it.

But even with all her magical power combined, Britta could only unleash a maximum of two attacks in a short period of time.

This is also why she never uses high-level magic.

Using a high-level spell will instantly deplete her magic power.

Although she possessed very strong skills, far superior to Iris's, her magic power was insufficient, forcing her to follow Leon's strategy.

With the battle tips Leon had given her in mind, Iris seized the opportunity when she saw that Saint Annihilation had temporarily suppressed Andrio, and once again fired the Spear of Judgment without chanting.

After reaching the fourth tier, she was able to use her class buff to launch the normal version of this move without chanting.

After the first shot was fired, the second, the third, and the fourth followed immediately.

Taking advantage of the suppression that Saint Annihilation exerted on Andrio's body, Iris combined the high-speed casting techniques she had learned in Lyon and swiftly threw out seven Judgment Spears.

call out!call out!call out!

Although Andrio was strong, he unfortunately encountered two fourth-tier opponents with potential of S or higher.

First, he was suppressed by Britta's Holy Annihilation, and then he was hit by seven consecutive Judgment Spears. His chest skin quickly broke through the defenses, and irregular cracks appeared. Obviously, he could no longer easily withstand Britta's Holy Light magic.

Of course, his combat power is still intact, and he has successfully used four ordinary monsters and the centipede sandworm to consume a large amount of magic power from Iris and Britta.

All of this was within his calculations.

The only miscalculation was that the Spear of Judgment was not easy to dodge, and it could even damage his fifth-tier pseudo-fallen angel skin.

This thwarted his plan to defeat the two men without taking any damage.

Of course, this wasn't the most infuriating thing.
