Chapter 241 Trial
Lu Yi flapped his wings, his expression cold and calm.
The attacks of light elements coming from all directions came towards him fiercely, but when they crashed into his wide-open six-winged angel wings, they were like a drop of water falling into the sea, so subtle that they could not cause any ripples.
Not to mention cutting off half a feather, even the angle of his tail feathers could not be shaken by a millimeter.
After a few minutes of silence, the entire audience turned into complete uproar.
"…What is this? Angel God Clan!!"
“God of Light, is this the one favored by God who has the highest affinity with the element of light?”
"I can see you haven't understood this before. This is the special feature of the God-favored Ones. They are protected by the residual souls of the angels and can even draw on the power of the gods! I was skeptical before. After all, Xi - ahem, wasn't that person also a God-favored One? Didn't he have any protection from the gods?"
"Yeah, now that you mention it, I remember that many people at the time thought that this was more likely a scam to attract attention... Tsk, now I guess everyone is speechless."
"That's the guardian of the angels. Why can't he think of going to that crappy Braeside? The words 'Saint Dover' and 'Holy See of Light' are written all over his body!"
The outrageous remarks made by some of the students from St. Dover caused the people from Bleside around them to glare at them angrily, and the already tense atmosphere became even more tense.
Someone said to himself in a sarcastic tone, "Yeah, why did Chief Lu Yi choose Braceside? Could it be that Saint Dover is not as good as Braceside?"
"You rude bastard! Are you trying to provoke me?!"
The dispute off the field was seen by Lu Yi on the field. He lowered his eyes and looked at the vigilant San Dover players below, thinking that it was time to end this farce.
Lu Yi really didn't expect that he would fall into such a trick.
It was the Transfiguration Spell, which had almost zero damage, that managed to slip through his net despite his high defense.
Fortunately, Canaan is powerful enough. Even if it is just an imperfect miniature spell-breaking array, it is enough to become a breakthrough for Lu Yi to break free from the transformation spell.
Fortunately, Chaos's inheritance was strong enough, allowing him to successfully draw on the power of the angels even when the system was temporarily offline.
There won't be a second time, and he will never underestimate the enemy again.
Lu Yi looked solemn, and his gaze towards Wavelin was serious and focused, and the last bit of his fear disappeared.
This is a crushing dimensionality reduction attack.
If you respond with all your strength, it will only take a split second to end.
Let alone resisting, the four Saint Dover players on the ring didn't even have time to react. After a powerful blow, they appeared under the ring in the blink of an eye, with burning pain all over their bodies. This pain was not fatal, but it was impossible to ignore or disregard it.
“How could it be…?” Gary looked up in shock.
Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid. He naturally saw the huge gap between the two sides from this understated attack. But the more he knew, the more shocked he was.
Lu Yi is a sophomore at Braceside. He has only been exposed to magic for a short period of one or two years, but he has grown to such an incredible level!
They were all praised as gifted and talented people in Saint-Dover, but they looked particularly incompetent in front of him.
Wavelin said with an unpleasant expression: "I lost... He didn't even try his best before."
On the observation deck not far away.
The three principals all had expected expressions and were not surprised by such a result.
Principal Braceside's face was filled with joy, and his satisfaction with Lu Yi was evident in words. He didn't say anything to show off, but his proud eyes said it all.
The cardinal had a calm expression, as if the loser was not one of the best students in his academy, and the victory or defeat in front of him had nothing to do with the honor of Saint-Doph. But if you look closely, you can see a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Are you very happy about this round?" Principal Lasvino joked.
Principal Braceside nodded and smiled, "Ah, there's nothing we can do. Who made Lu Yi choose Braceside at that time?!"
In the past, all the major magic academies were picky and selective, but with Lu Yi, the roles were completely reversed.
As long as one is strong enough and talented enough, the magic academy will be proud to be selected.
"I remember that Lu Yi's brother, Zorn Klein, is an outstanding graduate of our school. Maybe Lu Yi would like to stay in Lasvino for two years? We have had exchange students before—"
"You wish!" Principal Braceside refused mercilessly.
Lu Yi was his proudest student, and he wanted to hold him in his heart. These bad guys should not even think of getting involved! It was best not to even have the idea!
"Tsk, you old man are getting more and more stingy as you grow older." The principal of Lasvino raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised by his answer.
If you put yourself in his shoes, he wouldn't agree either. If anyone dared to steal his girl in front of him, he would beat that person to death with his magic wand.
"How is the venue for the Sea and Mirror Heart Trial being prepared?" the cardinal suddenly asked.
Principal Braceside's smile faded. "It's almost done. We can proceed as scheduled in three days... But, do we really want to use this competition system?"
When he first drew this competition system, he thought it was just a modified version of the Sea and Mirror Heart Trial. But when the actual trial site was set up, the true rules on the competition system card were revealed one by one.
What kind of revised and improved version? It is clearly the most authentic original version of Trial of the Heart of the Sea and the Mirror!
"Why not?" the cardinal asked, "I know you want to talk about its dangers and its casualty rate. But from the day these young mages awaken the power of the elements, they should know that death is the end of everything and an inevitable destination. It is just a matter of time."
The Sea and Mirror Heart Trial is a battle between the real and the unreal. Since its launch, no one has passed it perfectly, the injury rate is 100%, and the death rate is over 50%. Even the more talented people are, the more likely they are to be trapped in the Sea and Mirror Heart Trial.
"But some unnecessary casualties can obviously be avoided!"
"Are you going to rank death in a certain order?" the cardinal said sarcastically, "Or do you mean you don't accept the result of Braeside's Box of Truth?"
How ironic that the headmaster of Bleside refused to accept the result of the Box of Truth, a treasure of Bleside, which was said to be absolutely fair and reasonable?
Principal Braceside took a deep breath and asked, "Did you select the contestants yourself?"
"Of course not. Everything will be done according to the will of my Lord. After all, this trial requires the help of the power of light. Isn't it reasonable for light to select the people for the trial?"
Thinking about the hint from His Holiness the Pope, the cardinal smiled faintly.
"Besides, since you value someone so much...I am also looking forward to it."
Louis Klein is dead.
He could never have imagined that the Trial of the Heart of the Sea and the Mirror was aimed at him.
This is the death finale tailor-made for him.
…
"The Trial of the Heart of the Sea and Mirror."
Canaan murmured, closing the thick book in his hands.
"There are not many relevant records. The most recent record is a travelogue written by a bard fifty years ago. He described this trial as an incomparably magnificent and beautiful dream. The people present did not know what the trial-taker was going through. They only saw that after the trial-taker entered the trial pool of the Sea and Mirror Heart, large streams of blood first gushed out, and then an extremely gorgeous and beautiful phantom appeared on the water."
"It sounds like an underwater illusion, or a nightmare-related magic spell." Lu Yi said.
Canaan frowned and said, “That should be the case. All the records are just what the bystanders felt and knew, but there is no mention of what the trial-taker actually experienced.
“If a recorder with good intentions knew about this, he would definitely record it even if it was just a little bit. But in fact, there is not even a fragmentary description. It can only be that those trial participants were very secretive about the illusions they experienced.
"It is also recorded in this book that a participant became numb as if he had lost his soul after coming out of the Sea and Mirror Heart Trial Pool. He became a puppet without any feelings or perceptions."
Canaan said, his expression becoming more worried.
"How terrifying must this illusion be to make a rising wizard lose his mind in such a short time!"
The Trial of the Heart of the Sea and the Mirror is one of the few single-player competitions in the entire competition system of the finals. The contestant selected by Braceside is the team leader Luy Klein.
Although Lu Yi was worried, he was exceptionally calm. He was even in a mood to take the book from Canaan's hand and carefully read the description of the dementia trial-taker.
"You also said that this is an illusion. Any magic or illusion involving the soul, spirit, etc. is likely to be a forbidden technique." Lu Yi shrugged helplessly.
Canaan naturally continued: "The remaining 20% are forbidden techniques, right?"
"Yes, you are already a mature magician." Lu Yi nodded seriously.
Canaan pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a tearful smile, "Boss, you have a really strong mentality. Really, aren't you worried about that possible illusion? You're going to play in two days... this damn Sea and Mirror Heart Trial! Why would a competition for the purpose of exchange and learning have such an unreasonable competition system! Isn't this obviously persecuting mages?!"
"Perhaps because of this, the probability of this competition system appearing has been infinitely close to 0. There is no point in worrying. Since it is useless, why worry about it?"
Neither the soul nor the spiritual will can be improved quickly in a short period of time.
"Rather than an unprepared illusion, do you think the gushing blood is the result of a fight with something underwater?"
Although Lu Yi believes that absolute power can resist all monsters, the lesson he learned from turning into a cat in the 5v5 battle in Saint Dover still taught him a lot of experience. Any details that may be insignificant cannot be ignored.
Canaan's attention was diverted. "Yes, how could I forget about the blood? The illusion above the water appeared together with the illusion below the water, so the blood before that could only have been caused by the fight... First physically injure the body, then destroy the soul mentally. This logic is perfect!"
"I have to look carefully to see what kind of monster it might be..."
Night is approaching.
Lu Yi didn't expect that there would be an uninvited guest visiting at this time.
Waverin stood upright outside the door, his dark uniform as a knight of justice covered with mist from the evening.
He had no intention of coming in. His stern expression softened a little after seeing Lu Yi, but the straight curve of his mouth still seemed inhuman.
"Waverlin? What do you want from me?"
Wavelin nodded and said without any prelude: "In the Sea and Mirror Heart Trial, the underwater monster was a high-level nightmare water beast."
"What?" Lu Yi paused, "You just mentioned the underwater monster in the Sea and Mirror Heart Trial? You came to me just to tell me the information about the monster?"
He and Canaan and others spent an afternoon flipping through books on monsters, and selected nearly a hundred possible monsters. At this rate, it would be impossible to find the exact monster before the trial.
Lu Yi didn't have much hope for this at first. He didn't expect to get the correct answer so unexpectedly, and in this way.
"High-level nightmare water beast." Wavelin repeated again.
"...You didn't actually have to tell me that we are rivals in this finals, right?"
"Yes." Wavelin nodded without hesitation, "But besides that, you are also one of his few close friends."
They are the unbreakable connections he leaves in this world.
Wevering doesn't want that connection to disappear.
That's all.
