May the storm become my boots for my journey, and the wings behind me, so that I may travel without fear of wind or rain.
This rune is related to airflow and storms. Its specific effect is to use the airflow to propel the body, increase movement speed, and create distance between Evan and the rune.
Charles knew very well that the flames he had just witnessed were far from enough to take down Evan.
That was indeed the case, and Evan's handling of the situation was much easier than Charles had imagined.
"Trying to use fire against me? Are you serious? This kind of fire is far from enough."
Because of his control over the Heartfire over the years, as well as his continuous repair of the Chains, Evan has the highest fire resistance of all resistances, and he also has an extremely high talent in the field of wielding fire.
Using fire against Evan is like someone trying to electrocute Electric Boy, or someone trying to strangle a robot.
Holding the Dawn Spear, Evan gained control of the flames with a mere thought.
"Come here."
The fiery tornado was originally going to attack Evan, but it changed its trajectory a second before making contact.
It spun around Evan's body, then charged toward Charles, who was still retreating.
"What?"
In previous encounters, when facing Charles's fire attacks, Evan would choose to either smash them away with a single punch or use the Dawn Spear to destroy the structure of the flames.
However, this time, because the duel also had certain purposes, Evan chose a more convenient way to demonstrate his power and directly seized Charles's flame.
They stole his flame right before his eyes.
"There are cows! There are cows!"
He screamed in his heart, "Evan, you have no sense of martial ethics, but for the sake of your demeanor and image, you still have to maintain that calm and collected attitude, as if everything is under control."
"I call upon the deathly cold, giving it form with flowing water, and transforming it into my weapon."
Low temperatures and flowing water runes reappeared on the shield, unleashing another wave of magical attacks. The cold air and flowing water combined to form icy thorns, using the Shield of the Wise as their rooted soil to clash with the incoming flames.
"boom……"
As the flames met the ice, a large amount of white smoke obscured the view of the onlookers.
This confrontation ended in a draw, since the flames came from Charles and Evan didn't inject any additional power. Without a source, the fire was neutralized by the continuous flow of ice.
Charles, however, showed no joy; his expression turned serious.
"I can't feel him anymore, where did Evan go?"
The situation he is facing now is somewhat similar to that of the three-headed giant serpent, the leader of the abandoned settlement.
Since Evan's presence cannot be locked onto by his vision, his extremely high base stats make it difficult for other senses to detect his existence.
"Is it only possible to defend now? No problem, Charles. As long as you hold on to this wave, it will be your time to counterattack."
And so, the Shield of the Wise was lit once again.
"The earth bears all things with its weight, and steel blocks malice with its coldness."
Rocks and the hardened rune appeared and were activated. The rocks transformed into a semi-circular dome covering Charles's location, and the rocks turned dark silver. The temporary hardening effect enhanced his defense.
"This is my impenetrable defense."
