You are all my wings!

"In the name of the spirits of light, grant me wings to soar through the void!"

As the incantation ended, amidst the surging flow of magic, six wings of light sprouted from Iris's shoulders, and she fluttered her wings and walked under the lonely moon!

It's a light-based flight magic!

Iris, a third-tier cultivator, has already learned intermediate-level magic ahead of schedule!

Chapter Nine: Pseudo-Intermediate Level, Cold Wave!

With the magic of flight, we gained air supremacy.

In battle, the side that cannot fly will be at a great disadvantage no matter how skillfully it maneuvers.

Twenty meters above the night sky, the light wings scattered countless particles of light.

Iris's spells are beautiful, and her flight is beautiful too.

It must be admitted that this is truly a spirit favored by heaven and earth.

"Lyon Belron, your casting speed is indeed astonishing. I admit I underestimated you a bit. You have seven spells left, so unleash them quickly!"

Iris's voice came from afar, composed and serene.

The mana cost for casting a mid-level spell at the third rank is generally around 20 points.

Only when you are extremely proficient, or reach the fourth tier, will the consumption amount be reduced to around 10.

Considering Iris's pure-blood elf nature of rapid mana regeneration, and the fact that it's elemental magic, her overall mana consumption is estimated to be not too high.

In other words, despite casting an intermediate-level spell and a basic defensive spell, Iris still had plenty of magic power left.

As for how long her light wings can be activated, based on Leon's experience from his previous life, Iris's current state should be stable for seven or eight minutes without any problem.

Beside her, the invisible and intangible Bisgi also changed her expression from one of sympathy for Iris to one of schadenfreude towards Leon.

The ghostly familiar chuckled and spun around Leon's waist, relentlessly mocking him.

"Haha, Halion, Lyon, you've finally met your match, haven't you? You've finally crashed and burned, haven't you?"

"how?"

"What do you mean, 'what?' Iris can already use flight magic, how are you going to hit her? You have no chance of winning from here on out! After the last seven moves, you'll be on the defensive, how are you going to win? The Shadow Walker's skills can't fly either, right?"

"Bishji, since you put it that way, how about we make a bet?"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing Leon say he wanted to take a gamble, Bisquie immediately deflated.

She was a fifth-tier expert in her previous life. Although she was demoted to the weakest third-tier ghost, her knowledge and experience were still there. Yet, she was still tricked by several bets by Leon and eventually became Leon's contracted familiar.

Therefore, she does have a post-traumatic stress disorder regarding the phrase "take a gamble".

"You're just being stubborn!"

After a pause, Bisji couldn't help but speak.

"So, do you want to gamble?" Leon asked.

"Never mind, never mind, good luck."

Bisji didn't say anything more.

Lyon stopped teasing Bisquie and stared at the high point more than twenty meters away.

Indeed, given Iris's current circling state, it would be difficult to hit her.

Although Leon was confident in the accuracy of his magic, the range of his basic spells was a real problem.

Fireball is definitely not an option; its large area would reduce its range.

Only spells like fireballs and iceballs, which sacrifice coverage area in favor of penetration and range, are a good choice.

However, precisely because the coverage area is reduced, it is even more difficult to hit flying objects.

As for the skills of the second-tier Phantom Walker, they are more inclined towards covert assassination, which is too ruthless and not suitable for this kind of sparring situation.

Of course, if you really want to try something, there are opportunities.

However, this would expose his trump card too early, so Leon only considered completing this battle using the methods of a mage. In any case, the magic power he gained from his dual professions made him, as a first-tier mage, no less powerful than a second-tier mage. Moreover, his basic magic could be applied to the first three tiers. Although his mage profession appeared to be first-tier, it could actually be considered as second-tier.

Aside from the significant gap in attribute and skill levels above the fourth tier, battles in the first three tiers place more emphasis on a combination of factors such as strategy, tactics, skill selection, and mana/stamina allocation.

As a pro player of this game, he reached the highest level in every stage. In the early stages of awakening his memories, he spent a lot of time understanding the combat methods of the real world.

After successfully integrating the experiences from both worlds, his combat skills far surpassed his current level.

After a moment's thought, Leon had an idea. He opened his palms and swung them sharply towards the sky.

call out!!!!

A violent wind suddenly rose up.

Thirty ice bullets were launched at high speed by the strong wind.

Basic Wind Magic: Gale! *3

And basic water magic, Ice Bolt! *6

He unleashed nine spells in one go!

Since the start of the game, magic power has decreased by 12.

The combined effect of the nine spells was quite remarkable; a gale enveloped thirty ice bullets the size of sandbags, and the temperature of the wind suddenly dropped sharply.

This is precisely the pseudo-intermediate spell that Leon created by combining multiple primary spells: Cold Wave!

This is achieved through techniques that require no casting time and high-frequency spellcasting.

This is also one of his trump cards in the magician profession!

Although its power is still not as great as intermediate magic, it surpasses the limits of primary magic, possessing high speed, long range, great power, and wide coverage.

Repeated use can also improve your mastery of the original intermediate magic, allowing you to learn the magic required to advance to the fourth tier ahead of time.

Most importantly, it currently only costs 9 mana points!

shhhhhh! ! !

The powerful cold wave swept towards Iris in an instant.

Even Iris, flying high above, was overwhelmed by the astonishing speed and wide coverage, and had to hover in mid-air, placing her palms forward to cast a powerful light shield defensive spell.

boom!!!!

Seventeen ice projectiles, carried by the cold wave, successfully struck Iris's defensive shield.

The remaining thirteen flew past, barely missing the edge.

The light shield rippled with astonishingly chaotic waves under the impact.

This is a sign of a sharp decline in defensive capabilities.

Even if some of the power misses, it is still a pseudo-intermediate spell, and its power is indeed extraordinary.

After Iris recovered from the initial impact thanks to the light shield, she realized something was wrong. She flapped her light wings behind her shoulders and retreated to avoid being harmed by the subsequent impact of the cold wave.

"I've already unleashed more than ten basic spells, Iris, you can make your move now!"

At that moment, Iris heard Leon's voice coming from afar, and a knowing look flashed in her eyes.

"No wonder that spell just now felt like an intermediate-level spell; it turned out to be the result of multiple elementary spells being released and fused at high speed?"

Now that ten moves had passed, Iris decided not to hold back.

Having just faced several high-speed attacks from Leon, she felt a rare sense of pressure and regretted being too arrogant and giving herself a ten-move opening.

If Leon were to use the same move again, even if she could fly, she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it for long.

"The verdict is final!"

"The tip of gold melted in six days, the edge with four cracks and hidden patterns!"

"Unite, Spear of Judgment of Saint Hermes!"

As Iris chanted rapidly, a spear of light materialized in her palm, which she aimed at Leon, leaning back as if ready to unleash it.

Although it was a rudimentary elemental magic, under the beautiful incantation of the pure-blooded elf Iris, the spear of light in her hand was highly concentrated, its radiance restrained, clearly containing terrifying power.

"This shot is connected to the soul's essence; it's guaranteed to hit!"

"Leon, you should be able to tell that I'm not lying to you."

"You'd better think about whether you can defend yourself against this shot. If you can't, you'll suffer severe physical damage, and if you're unlucky, it could take you months to recover!"

"While you can still admit defeat now!"

Chapter Ten: The Spear of Judgment

Lyon looked up to observe.

He knew that this was Iris's signature tactic, which she used from the beginning to the later part of the fourth book.

It was also her own personal magic, created by combining her core professional skill, [Light Spirit Endowment].

This is a secret technique that only she can use, and no other light elf can learn.

Light elemental magic, the Spear of Judgment.

Using basic-level magic is equivalent to using basic magic with top-tier power.

Using intermediate-level magic power is equivalent to top-tier intermediate-level magic.

It can even be used up to the legendary, epic, and demigod stages.

Magic requires imagination; imagery is key.

The clearer the imagery, the more precise the magic.

The core image of the [Spear of Judgment] is Saint Hermes, the god of light and judgment created by the Holy Land of the Elves.

By imbuing the magic with the image of the God of Judgment through the [Light Spirit Empowerment] skill, the image of judgment is completed.

It imbued magic with a subtle divine power: [Inevitable Judgment].

Once you target the enemy's soul aura, you will surely hit the enemy no matter what obstacles you encounter.

If facing an enemy burdened with sin, the power of the hit will be even greater.

A series of pieces of information about this move flowed through Lyon's mind.

"It seems I really can't dodge this move."

Leon looked up and met Iris's gaze, then spoke frankly.

"So, you're ready to admit defeat?"

Iris held the spear of light in one hand, her eyes reflecting a unique brilliance due to the activation of magic.

"No, although I can't dodge it, it's fine. Go ahead and shoot, I'll take responsibility for the consequences."

"So I'm really going to shoot then? Aren't you going to activate your defensive shield?"

"No need, just shoot."

Seeing that Leon wouldn't budge an inch, Iris didn't hesitate any longer and shot out a spear of light.

Whoosh!!

The spear of light arrived in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, five shields formed from shadows suddenly appeared in front of Leon.

Shadow magic from the Shadowwalker class: Shadow Shield!

Using shadow to counter light is a perfect example of mutually restraining attributes, which can negate the elemental buffs.

Magic -5.

However, the spear of light was not stopped after the Shadow Shield was activated.
