Zuo Si stood on a high place and admired with great interest everything that was happening below. He did not show the slightest sign of nervousness or anxiety, nor did he show the slightest intention of wanting to join in.
Because he knew that the Sorcerer King Larloch was completely different from other great arcanists of the Netheril era.
According to Ovo's description, there were three arcanists recognized as the most powerful in the era of Netheril.
They are Karsus, an unprecedented genius (a great arcanist who reached the legendary level in his early twenties, the only one in Faerun's history);
Iolum, the most creative and investigative person (without him, there would be no floating cities and a series of iconic things of the Golden Age of Netheril. Not to mention that he also trained thousands of arcanist apprentices. Many of them have grown to the level of great arcanists. Ovo's phylactery was made from the skull of an Iolum apprentice, Desed. It is said that this apprentice was Ovo's main rival at the time. Even Ovo felt a sense of accomplishment after defeating and killing him, so he used his skull to make his most important phylactery. It can be seen that in Iolum's eyes, Ovo can only be regarded as a junior);
The last one, Larloch, is the most patient, far-sighted, diligent, low-key and good at manipulating others among all the great arcanists.
This can be seen from his relationship with Sazastan.
Among the three, the overly arrogant and conceited Karsus is undoubtedly the weakest in overall strength.
Maybe because he is too young, he has a very impatient personality.
You must know that when the Pherim posed a huge threat to the rule of Netheril, Iolum and Larloch had secretly prepared more than one backup plan, and even Ovo had his own plan.
But only Karsus impatiently chose to cast his unprecedented twelve-ring spell, which eventually led to the death of the first goddess of magic and the destruction of Netheril.
In contrast, Iolum is more like a pure scholar and top researcher who only focuses on his areas of interest and does not care much about power, fame, and struggle.
Throughout the history of Netheril, apart from the initial time when he personally led a large army to encircle and suppress the orc tribes within the empire, there is basically no record of him fighting with others, so his experience in spell duels must be severely insufficient.
Larloch was just the opposite. There were no less than a hundred recorded spell duels, and almost every opponent he faced was a great arcanist. He won all of them without exception, thus earning the title of Wizard King.
And Ovo also claimed that Lalok's fighting style was very similar to that of the Storm Queen Xinbu, both of which could directly cripple the opponent with one wave. He carried at least sixteen artifact-level spell storage devices with him, which could achieve a saturation spell bombardment that was more terrifying than the sequencer spell.
Most importantly, Zuo Si knew that after becoming a lich, Larloch actually had a very deep obsession like Ovo, which was his deep fascination with the first magic goddess Mithriel.
There is only one original motive behind all his actions, which is to revive his beloved goddess in the body of the current magic goddess.
Of course, this is not an easy thing to do.
Because so much time has passed since the fall of the first generation Magic Goddess, most mortals have forgotten her and accepted the title of the second generation Magic Goddess Mystra.
Even today, the third generation magic goddess Midnight still uses this title to ensure that her influence in the material world will not decline.
Zuo Si was very curious about what kind of plan Lalock had prepared.
In the future history of the continent of Faerun, this most powerful spellcaster of the Netheril era almost became the new god of magic.
But at the last moment he was stopped by Elminster and her teacher Silinsi, who lost her life.
Therefore, Larloch can almost be called the "old monster" with the greatest threat, the most ability to cause trouble, and the most hidden land cards known today.
As for Iolum, who remained silent throughout, no one knew what he was doing or what "tough things" he had prepared in private.
There is no doubt that the appearance of Larloch has put Elminster, who was originally determined to win, into a dilemma.
This is because the Wizard King is not like Sazastan or Sammaster who can easily defeat their opponents in a one-on-one duel. If they fight hard, there will definitely be casualties.
Looking at the voters behind him, such as Xinbu, Storm Silverhand, as well as the Harpists' top brass and friends invited to help, he could not accept if any of them died here.
For a moment, both sides fell into silence and confrontation.
After several minutes, Elminster raised his head and asked tentatively, "Why do you want to get involved in this matter? Do you also want to use the power of that eye to become a god?"
"No! I just think it would be beneficial to add more gods who are inclined towards magic or related to magic to this world."
LaRocco gave the answer calmly.
Because he had been a lich for too long, all his skin, muscles and internal organs had rotted away, leaving him nothing but a skeleton.
There was no ups and downs in his voice or emotions when he spoke, and there was no expression on his face, which made it difficult for people to guess what he was thinking and whether he was lying.
"So your goal is not to seize the Eye, but to help Sazastan keep it?"
Elminster glanced at the Chief of the Necromancer not far away.
Although Sazastan is extremely powerful in Cyre and among the Red Wizards, apart from his slightly higher spellcasting level (total level LV29), he is actually quite young and is almost a contemporary of Manshoon, the founder of the Zhentarim.
It’s just that the Red Robe Wizard has more complete knowledge and information about magic, and he has the support of Larloch behind him, so his growth rate after entering the legendary state is much faster than Manshoon.
But compared with the second-generation leader of the Entangled Symbol, Ragon, and the Undead Emperor Shane VII, there is still a considerable gap.
Otherwise, it would not have been impossible to complete the internal integration of the Red Robe Wizards for so many years, and eventually it would have evolved to the point where a long-term civil war broke out.
At least in Elminster's mind, the threat level of Sazastan cannot be compared with that of Mansong.
At least Manshoon had a record of successfully killing him (Elminster died more than once, and was killed several times by enemies such as the Beholder, Manshoon, and the Black Dragon, but was resurrected soon afterwards. This is the advantage of holding on to the thigh of the Goddess of Magic. There is no need to make any preparations at all. No matter how many times he dies, the gods will eventually resurrect him...).
“I don’t need to explain what I want to do to you and the voters behind you.
Because I am Larloch, the most powerful wizard king in the Netheril era, and you are no match for me.
Now, make your choice, Elminster.
Should we fight a life-and-death war, or choose to leave and give up the original plan.
I actually really want to know how you perform in a spell duel now that you have been endowed with the power of silver fire.
I believe it will be an extremely pleasant and exciting experience.
After all, we've never fought each other before, right?"
While saying this, Larloch slightly opened his arms, showing the pride and absolute confidence of a great arcanist.
He was looking down at the wizard who was regarded by many mortals as the closest to god in the current continent of Faerun.
"In that case, let's give it a try!"
The fearless Storm Queen Xinbu suddenly took a step forward, ready to take the lead and test the Wizard King's strength.
But before she could do anything, Elminster grabbed her and shook his head seriously: "Don't be so reckless! Don't you realize that he has been trying to provoke us and make us take action first?"
"At this point, do we have any other choice? Don't forget how serious the chain reaction will be if Sazastan successfully ascends to become a god." Xinbu asked with a frown.
"No, we have other options. At least there is an ally that is strong enough."
At this point, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on Elminster's old face. He then cast a sound amplification spell on himself, raised his head and shouted at the black dot in the sky that was basically invisible to the naked eye: "Sos! As the chosen one of the goddess of magic, shouldn't you come down now and express your attitude and opinions?"
The next second...
A portal appeared out of nowhere within everyone's sight.
Then Zuo Si walked out from the other side of the door, with a slightly surprised expression on his face, "How did you find me? You know, I have cast many spells to block detection, so I shouldn't be exposed under normal circumstances."
"Because of Silverfire!"
Elminster reached deep into his right index finger, released a ball of weak silver flame on the fingertips, and explained softly: "Silver fire is the original magic energy that comes from the deepest layer of the magic network without any processing, and it is even a part of the power of the goddess.
Every voter who possesses the Silver Fire is actually equivalent to a node in the magic network.
As long as we find the trick, we can feel each other's presence.
Especially for someone like you who has transformed the Silver Fire into your own power and obtained the Silver Fire energy from the Deep Magic Web that is far more powerful than that of other chosen people, in my eyes, you are as bright and dazzling as a torch in the dark. "
"I see! You are indeed worthy of being the Great Sage of Shadow Valley. It seems that you have prepared a lot of methods to deal with the fight between us."
Zuo Si smiled and put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly to show respect to the old man in front of him.
Because the other party obviously has his own unique insights on the research of silver fire.
In other words, he and Elminster took two completely different directions in their research on silver fire.
The latter's research direction is mainly focused on more sophisticated perception and operation, but he focuses on tapping the potential of the deep magic network to gain more powerful power.
"Souss!!!!!!"
Seeing the culprit who had severely wronged him show up, Sazastan's anger exploded instantly, and fire almost spewed out of his eyes.
"Ah! My dear friend, how have you been recently? Why do you look so haggard? Is it because you are under too much pressure and don't get enough rest? Even if you become a lich, you still need to pay attention to proper relaxation.
Otherwise, even if your body isn’t tired, your spirit will be exhausted.”
Zuo Si deliberately pretended to be extremely shocked and expressed his concern and greetings in a very annoying tone.
If you don’t know them, you would think they are very good friends.
"Why are you doing this? I don't remember offending you anywhere! And I don't have any conflict of interest with you!" Sazastan asked in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zuo Si couldn't help but laugh, and asked back while laughing: "Is there any necessary connection between them? Could it be that Agrallon and Leatherman have offended you?
What conflict of interest does this have with you? But you ordered your red-robed wizards to invade more than once, trying to annex the land there and turn all the locals into slaves.
So don't act as if you have suffered a great injustice or been treated unfairly.
I am acting according to your code of conduct as red robe wizards.
What's more, the one who leaked the news was Fuzor Chamberlain and the Zhentarim he controlled. What does it have to do with me? If you are dissatisfied, you can complain or vent to him.
After all, when we conduct transactions, there is no rule prohibiting the disclosure of information.
Besides, the fact that so many people want to snatch the eye of the storm just proves its value.
You got it in exchange for two artifacts and a Three Wishes Ring, you made a lot of money."
“Hahahahahaha!”
It was obviously the first time for Xinbu to see his arch-enemy suffer such a great loss and he was so embarrassed that he couldn't say a word. He laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
"But what good will it do you?"
Sazastan suppressed his anger and continued to ask.
He was eager to find out the motives behind the other party's series of actions and the possible harm it might cause to himself.
You have to know that the development of things to this point has already far exceeded the scope of initial expectations and is heading towards an out-of-control direction.
Especially, it is not so easy to owe a favor to the Wizard King Lalok.
Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders and replied, "It has many benefits for me.
For example, I successfully diverted everyone's attention from Baldur's Gate and West Heartland to Cyre, especially you.
Didn't the wizard named Erinikas next to you give up his attention to the Son of Bhaal and come all the way here to draw divine power from the Eye of the Storm to accomplish the feat of becoming a god?
And Elminster and the Harpers will have to focus their main attention on dealing with you instead of messing with my plans.
For example, try to find out how many legendary wizards who are interested in becoming a god are hidden in the continent of Faerun, as well as their strength and trump cards.
In this regard, expectations were clearly exceeded.
After all, even the wizard king Larloch, who had been silent for thousands of years, showed up. "
Having said that, Zuo Si deliberately paused for a few seconds and bowed to the strongest spellcaster of the Netheril era who was wearing a gorgeous magic robe not far away.
Two cold lights flashed in Larock's eyes, and then he returned the salute gracefully.
Obviously, although he lived in seclusion in the Tomb of the Warlock, he was not completely ignorant of the situation in the outside world.
Just the opposite!
Through various channels and manipulated individuals and organizations, the archmage already knew the identity of Zuo Si, the planeswalker, and the major events in which the latter participated after coming to Faerun.
Most importantly, he keenly observed that the black and white puppy that followed closely behind its owner was the Chaos Dog Demon Kozef.
Even gods would be wary of someone who could control this ancient evil creature 100%.
But Sazastan, who was in a rage, did not notice this and threatened himself: "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate later?"
Zuo Si asked contemptuously: "Revenge? How do you plan to take revenge?
Indiscriminately slaughter the civilians under my rule? Or release a magical plague on my territory and use their corpses to mass-transform the undead?
Or maybe just cast a legendary spell to level a few cities and the people inside? Believe me, anything you can think of and do, I can double it up in Cyre, and even wipe this country and the Red Robe Mage Organization off the map.
I possess enough means to destroy a world, enough power to make even the gods fear me.
The revenge you think is so destructive is nothing in my eyes.
Most importantly, you don’t understand me at all, let alone my thoughts and values.
Do you know that the reason why most people value family, friendship, and love is essentially a sense of participation brought about by giving, and a sense of participation increases a sense of value.
If a person wants others to like him or her more, the best way is to find ways to force others to give more to him or her, and ultimately develop a giver complex.
The good thing is that in most cases, parents always like their children more than children like their parents.
Because parents spend more time, energy and money on their children.
The same principle can be extended to other aspects.
Even if you have two trees or two pots of flowers, you will always prefer the one that you water, fertilize and take care of every day regardless of rain or shine.
You put your heart and soul into it.
Even if it is not as strong as another tree or as brightly bloomed as another pot of flowers, you will find countless reasons to convince yourself that this is your favorite and it has extraordinary meaning to you.
The root of the problem is that if you deny something you have poured your heart and soul into, you are denying your own efforts.
This will cause a huge psychological imbalance.
But emotionally, no intelligent creature likes the feeling of imbalance.
Therefore, when a person hears someone slandering the idols and gods he worships, he will do his best to defend them, even at the cost of his precious life.
The so-called free will is actually a false proposition from the beginning. It is too easy to be manipulated by people who master the skills and tricks.
For example, I took advantage of your obsession with becoming a god and sent the Eye of the Storm to you through a transaction.
Maybe at the beginning, you just felt that you had gotten a great bargain by getting the most important item for becoming a god so easily, and even ignored the huge potential dangers it brought.
But when you pay higher and higher prices and costs and pour in countless emotions and expectations in order to keep the eye of the storm in your hands from being snatched away by other competitors, you fall into the trap you have woven for yourself and cannot extricate yourself.
But I am different! During my apprenticeship, my mentor forced me to make many sacrifices in this regard, which led to a special transformation both mentally and psychologically.
Innocent!
I would be more than happy to play a game of revenge to see who collapses first.
For me, there is nothing in this world that cannot be given up, and no thing or person can become my weakness.
If one day you think you have found my weakness, please be careful, because it is very likely to be a fatal trap. "
伴随着这番话脱口而出,萨扎斯坦只感觉全身上下都被一股寒意所笼罩,低下头看着那颗风暴之眼透露出强烈的挣扎。
尽管他是个巫妖,早就已经没有了“冷”的概念。
不光是萨扎斯坦,萨马斯特、艾瑞尼卡斯和几位魔法女神的选民也都纷纷露出紧张和凝重的神情。
因为他们突然意识到,洞察人心和人性且没有弱点的左思实在是太可怕了。
沉默了良久之后,拉洛克最先打破沉默抬起只剩下骨头的双手开始鼓掌:“非常精辟的阐述!
你用最冰冷无情的话语明确指出了那些被视作善良、正义和高尚行为背后的逻辑。
凡人所有的行为实际上都是源自于参与感带来的价值增加,以及对于自身付出的肯定和自我说服,甚至就连神明都不能例外。
所谓的坚持、所谓的虔诚信仰、所谓对于善良事业的追求,许多时候其实不过是付出的太多,以至于一旦放弃就相当于完全否定了自己一生奋斗的目标和存在价值。
唯有像你我这样的智者,才能看穿表象背后的真理,做出最明智的判断跟选择。
假如是生在耐色瑞尔时代,你一定可以成为与我和伊奥勒姆一样的杰出大奥术师。
你不应该成为魔法女神的选民,至少不应该是现在这位魔法女神的选民。”
“哦?那您觉得我应该怎么做呢?”左思不动声色的询问道。
“你应该来同我合作,一起为了某个更崇高的目标而努力,而不是整天沉浸在这些无聊的争斗上。那太浪费你的天赋和才华了。”
拉洛克主动递出了橄榄枝。
很显然,在他看来左思应该跟自己是一类人,都属于那种不会被任何外界因素干扰,永远保持理智和强烈自我意识的智者。
可左思却笑着摇了摇头:“不,拉洛克阁下,我跟你不是一类人。
至少在这件事情上,我必须站在伊尔明斯特这一边。
因为我可是第三代魔法女神午夜唯一亲自授予银火的选民,并且从她那里获得了非常多的好处。
而您那个更崇高的目标,对于我来说没有任何吸引力。”
“你知道我的目标是什么?”拉洛克用十分低沉的声音试探道。
“当然! 否则我为什么要强调在这件事情上必须站在伊尔明斯特这边? 相比起您心目中的那个完美的魔法女神,我还是更喜欢现如今这个有人情味的魔法女神。
最重要的是,我不希望看到魔网再一次崩溃、失控,在整个星球上掀起一场可怕的灾难。
同时还会对现如今好不容易发展起来一点的魔法知识和技术造成严重打击。
另外,就如同您期待与伊尔明斯特交手一样,我也十分期待能够与耐色瑞尔时代最强大的巫师之王较量一下。”
说罢,左思手中突然凭空出现了一条闪烁着刺眼神光的【战争锁链】。
还没等其他人来得及做出反应,他便以迅雷不及掩耳的速度启动了这件神器,当场将自己与拉洛克紧紧的锁死在一起。
“神器?!”
巫师之王立刻尝试着使用一些类似短距离传送、灵体化的法术来摆脱。
但遗憾的是,不管他的形体如何变化,锁链的一端都牢牢地卡死在脚腕上,甚至就连摆脱肉体的星界投射法术都没有任何用处,分分钟会被无形的力量强行拉回来。
左思微笑着回应道:“别白费力气了!这是由战争之神坦帕斯制造的高等神器。在我们分出胜负之前,即便是我也无法将它打开。”
“你就那么想要跟我交手?”
一听到是坦帕斯制造的神器,拉洛克立刻停止了所有的尝试。
因为他知道,由强大神力打造的高等神器,绝对不是随随便便就能挣脱的。
更何况对方也不会给自己长时间准备一些传奇法术的机会。
“是的! 我想要见识一下这个世界最强大的奥术施法者之一究竟有多厉害。
同时也测试一下自己现如今的水平。
别担心,我不会使用来自其他世界的力量,并且尽量不使用神器或是过于高级的魔法物品、卷轴、神术,仅凭自己的奥术施法等级来一决胜负。
这场法术决斗无需倾其所有,更不需要分出生死。
您可以将其视作来自后辈的讨教。”
在说这番话的时候,左思遵循耐色瑞尔时代的礼节将右手按在自己的胸口上,瞬间释放了一个零环戏法。
毫无疑问,这是当年低级奥术师向高级奥术师发起挑战的礼节。
作为耐色瑞尔时代发起和接受挑战最多的大奥术师,拉洛克无疑相当熟悉这一切。
自从耐色瑞尔文明毁灭之后,他已经记不得有多久没有看到这样的画面了,瞬间勾起很多关于过去的回忆,忍不住笑着感叹道:“真是令人怀念啊!
年轻人,在你的身上我看到了自己曾经的影子。
虽然你现在选择站在了伊尔明斯特和其他选民一边。
但我相信你迟早有一天也会变得跟我一样,怀念那位真正的初代魔法女神密斯瑞尔。
只有她、也唯有她,才能做到对于魔法发展无条件的支持,进而催生出另外一个如同耐色瑞尔时代一样辉煌强大的魔法文明。
至于现如今的三代魔法女神,她甚至都没办法好好履行自己的职责。
既然你想要来一场公平的法术决斗,那身为巫师之王的我又有什么理由不奉陪呢?”
话音未落!
拉洛克也摆出了同样的姿态,从指尖射出几颗魔法飞弹作为开战的信号。
眨眼功夫,两人都开始不约而同开始往自己身上套防护魔法,同时在间隙中尝试着反制对方的法术。
由于双方身上都佩戴了大量神器和高级魔法物品,而且也都阅读了耐色瑞尔卷轴上的内容,所以施法速度已经快到让旁人根本反应不过来的程度。
很多时候当其他人辨识出其中一个法术的刹那,该法术都已经完成并已经产生效果至少一秒钟以上。
可即便如此,两人仍旧有超过百分之五十的概率能够成功反制掉另外一方施展中的魔法。
光凭这一点就能判断出,不管是左思还是拉洛克,在法术辨识这项能力上已经远远超过了在场其他所有传奇法师。
其中耐色瑞尔卷轴关于魔法理论阐述的那一个大章节,绝对在其中起到了关键性的作用。
“真是难以置信!索斯竟然能在不使用任何魔法物品和卷轴的情况下跟得上拉洛克的施法速度!而且他还没有激发银火的力量!”
欣布瞪大眼睛露出了无比震惊和难以置信的表情。
因为在风暴女王的眼中,左思虽然达到了传奇法师的水准,可强悍实力大部分还是来自于其旅法师的特殊能力。
其真实奥术施法水平根本无法与伊尔明斯特和自己相提并论。
“索斯刚才使用了一个十七环法术位,这意味着他的有效施法等级至少在LV32以上。”
伊尔明斯特立刻凭借丰富的法术决斗经验做出判断。
不得不说,他在这方面的眼光的确要比其他传奇法师更敏锐。
刨除掉大魔鬼形态和巨龙形态带来的类法术能力和高达LV37的天生术士施法等级,左思在法师方面拥有LV33的总施法等级。
不过他并没有使用术士能力,仅仅是使用法师的力量战斗,否则这场一对一的法术决斗就没有意义了。
“该死!这一定又是源自于旅法师的某种不为人知的能力!”
欣布低声抱怨了一句。
就在她还想说点什么的时候,突然察觉到刚才跟萨扎斯坦站在一起的萨马斯特和他手下的龙巫妖不知何时消失了。
瞬间!
风暴女王内心之中的警铃大作,立刻冲着正在享受这种高速魔法攻防转化乐趣的左思大喊道:“索斯!小心!”
下一秒……
“哈哈哈哈!去死吧!”
萨马斯特直接带着六条龙巫妖瞬间出现距离后者不足三五米的地方,狂笑着发动了偷袭。
早已彻底疯掉的他才不在乎什么公平决斗,只想要找机会一个一个把魔法女神的选民全部杀光,起手就是瞬发的大裂解,想要一口气粉碎对方身上所有的防护法术和魔法物品。
几乎与此同时,龙巫妖也张开嘴巴喷出了不同能量属性的龙息。
轰!!!!!!!!!!
左思的身影瞬间被淹没,身上至少两件魔法物品发出了碎裂的声音,同时还有几枚储法戒指遭到压制,暂时失去了奥术灵光,显然是没办法使用了。
毫无疑问,这突如其来一幕让在场所有人都惊呆了。
Especially Larloch, who was also enjoying the duel, roared angrily: "How dare you interrupt the sacred magic duel!"
But soon, his anger disappeared, replaced by an undisguised contempt and pity.
Because after the dragon's breath stopped, Zuo Si, who was standing in the center, not only did not suffer any harm, but his face had a cold expression and his eyes flashed with a piercing cold light, which made people realize that he seemed angry.
"Sorry, respected Wizard King, I think our duel may have to be paused for a few seconds." Zuo Si said in an emotionless tone.
"No problem! I have enough patience to wait, no matter if it takes a few seconds, minutes, or hours."
LaRock waved his hand generously.
Because he also wanted to see what kind of power and trump cards this young man in front of him had hidden besides arcane magic.
"It won't take that long. A few seconds is enough to deal with this brainless idiot who wants to die."
After saying that, the hourglass of time hidden under Zuo Si's collar began to flash a bright and dazzling white light. At the same time, a silver translucent gem the size of a tennis ball appeared in his left hand, and his right hand held four cards emitting white light.
Only a shadow that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye flashed by, and the dazzling white light and positive energy that was so rich that it formed substance instantly enveloped Sammaster and all the dragon liches.
They didn't even have time to scream before they exploded one after another in the middle, making a deafening noise.
The flying bones were crushed into powder in less than a second and drifted away with the wind.
All the protective spells and triggering magic that were previously cast were completely useless in the face of this level of terrifying positive energy.
Sazastan, who is also a lich, was even severely burned by the aftermath of the positive energy and had to release several negative energy spells to repair his body. His eyes revealed his fear of the unknown power.
With his spell identification ability, he could clearly feel that the positive energy that was as terrifying as the liquid sun was actually composed of countless [Sun Flame Explosions] that were superimposed with a large number of super magic techniques.
Among them there must be instant, extreme, strong, upgraded and other super magic that can greatly increase the power. There may also be spell twins and some other unknown enhancement abilities.
If hit by this spell, not to mention the undead creatures that are restrained by positive energy, even the ancient dragons might be exploded to death on the spot.
In comparison, the Wizard King Larloch's spell identification ability was obviously higher. After a brief silence, he immediately asked, "Just now, you used an unknown acceleration ability, with the help of the King of Arcane's [Mana Expansion] to double the power of [Sunfire Explosion]. Then you used Super Magic Instant, Extreme, Strong, and Upgrade to further strengthen it. You used an unknown magic technique to successfully release eight [Sunfire Explosions]. Finally, you used the bead in your hand to double the eight [Sunfire Explosions] to sixteen?"
"Your vision is really sharp, and you basically guessed it right.
Except for one thing, I didn't use the super magic technique to cast spells instantly.
As for this bead, its name is [Yingqi Orb], which can copy all spells including legendary magic."
Zuo Si explained, fiddling with the orb in his hand.
The Arcane Lord's special ability, Mana Expansion, is undoubtedly a very terrifying ability. It can allow a spell to break through its original limitations and double its effect directly on the highest basis.
Spell level upgrade can further increase the power of the spell to a higher level.
The spell's maximum effectiveness ensures that it reaches its theoretical maximum value.
Spell Power can increase the damage of this magic by another 50% under the effect of the Tyrant Gloves.
With this set of operations, even the most ordinary fireball can have a power several times greater than that of a seven-ring delayed burst fireball.
Not to mention that Zuo Si threw out four magic cards at once, plus the spell twins that doubled and the Yingqi Orb that doubled again, for an instant sixteen-hit combo.
Not to mention liches and dracolichs, even if a few undead monsters came, they would be defeated in seconds by this saturation attack.
Especially the liquid energy that has formed into substance, absolutely no undead creature can withstand it.
Even the most powerful wizard-king in Netheril is no exception.
"Is this the power of a planeswalker?"
Larroc continued to ask in an uncertain tone.
Zuo Si nodded slightly. "Yes, this is the power of a planeswalker. And this is only the most basic use of energy and magic. The most powerful among us have already reached a level comparable to or even surpassing that of gods."
"Being powerful, free, and not subject to any restrictions or constraints, and being able to do whatever you want, sounds really enviable."
Two points of cold light flashed continuously in Larok's eye sockets, revealing the unrest in his owner's heart.
To be exact, how could it be peaceful?
Just as when Shane VII first learned about the heights that a planeswalker could reach, he was willing to give up everything he had, even willing to hand over his phylactery as a price, just in exchange for a lowly spark.
Although the Wizard King has not reached this point at the moment, he has undoubtedly developed an irrepressible interest in Sparks.
Zuo Si undoubtedly noticed this and responded with a smile: "If you want to know more, let's find some time to talk alone. You live very close to Baldur's Gate anyway. But before that, let's continue the spell duel that was interrupted just now."
"Since you possess powerful strength beyond the existing magical rules, is there any meaning in spell duels within these rules?" LaRock questioned in confusion.
"Of course it makes sense. It allows me to have a deeper understanding and use of the spells I have learned, and then recognize my own shortcomings and stimulate potential creativity..."
As the last word came out of his mouth, Zuo Si put away the Yingqi Pearl, bowed to the other party again, and then began to chant the spell.
