Several terrifying laser beams crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant, aiming directly at Vittorio in the center!
However, these laser beams missed. The moment the beams approached Vittorio's body was transformed into an energy state, and he passed through the beams with an incredible posture...
Of course, his movements couldn't be faster than light, but it would be enough if he was just a little bit faster than the speed at which several people cast spells!
The beam of light streaked across the ground, leaving several deep grooves, and Vittorio's figure arrived in front of Aurora. Under the suppression of the domain, the latter had almost no ability to resist and was pierced through the chest.
Crack~ The sound of a mirror shattering suddenly rang out.
Aurora's body did not bleed after being pierced, and her whole body shattered like a mirror.
Obviously, this is the pseudo-legendary magic [True Mirror Image]! "Not bad, it can actually deceive my eyes." Vittorio said with praise. After breaking through the legend, his perception ability has increased several times.
At the moment when the words fell, a strong warning suddenly arose in Vittorio's mind.
A strong flame gushed out from the ground, and instantly covered Vittorio. This fire was far less terrible than the temperature of a nuclear explosion, but it was equally dangerous, as if it could devour everything! This was the eternal flame - chlorine trifluoride! "Congeal!"
Vittorio's expression remained unchanged as he spoke slowly. The area surrounding his body began to expand rapidly and the speed of the surging flames changed from extremely fast to extremely slow.
All elements within the magic field were arranged in an almost forbidden manner. At temperatures close to absolute zero, even chlorine trifluoride, which could plunder electrons, could no longer maintain its form. The fierce flames were quickly weakened to the point where only a tiny flame remained.
"Break!" Vittorio spoke again, and a powerful energy tide erupted instantly, completely suppressing the weak flame. The surrounding glass surface collapsed and cracked layer by layer. A large amount of glass debris scattered in all directions at a speed that was difficult to judge with the naked eye, raising bursts of sharp sounds of breaking through the air.
Lin En and the others had to retreat again and again, but they did not dare to let Vittorio get any closer. Harof's Blade of Time and Space was ready to go, Aurora's laser technique had also been condensed, and Lin En shouted loudly.
"MUTO, bite him!"
A blue animal shadow rushed towards Vittorio like a mad dog.
"Too slow...too slow!" Vittorio said with a chuckle. He knew very well that this giant beast had the ability to devour energy and fight it back, so he did not cast any magic, but kicked it away at a faster speed.
Even the invisible blade of time and space and the laser beam that slashed across were easily dodged by Vittorio.
The slight spatial fluctuations were particularly noticeable to him now.
"Let's end it here!" After Vittorio adapted to his own strength, he increased the speed of the expansion of the domain. At the same time, alchemical runes rose from the ground and tightly bound Lin En and the others! Lin En, Harof and Aurora did not put up any more unnecessary resistance. The battle ended here, and it only took about fifteen minutes.
"Sure enough, it still doesn't work! The gap is so huge." Harov shook his head and sighed.
Due to the fact that legendary wizards are very difficult to kill, they had gone all out when they attacked just now, but ended up being defeated after only fifteen minutes.
This was because Vittorio intentionally held back and wanted to test his own strength.
"The bigger the gap, the more it proves that our path is correct, doesn't it?" Vittorio said with a smile.
For wizards, the gap between each major realm is already very huge.
Even if several three-ring wizards work together, it is impossible to defeat a great wizard.
Roar~ Just as Vittorio was speaking, a loud beast roar suddenly sounded, and the MUTOs that were knocked out flew back again. As the only meat shield that could withstand the legendary magic head-on and still be alive and kicking, MUTOs suffered a lot of beatings in the battle, and his body looked smaller.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin En actually heard a hint of grievance in that majestic roar.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, take it!" Lin En stretched out his hand with a smile, and a condensed tritium crystal appeared in his palm, and then he threw it out.
Mutos was like a hunting dog that suddenly saw a bone before fainting from hunger. It flew into the air with a whoosh and swallowed the tritium crystals like chewing candy beans.
"Come on, turn around again..." Lin En added subconsciously, and took out another tritium crystal.
Although the MUTOs did not know the common language, after staying in the City of Kerosene for so many days, they could barely understand what people said.
If it were a week ago, Mutos would have simply ignored the orders given to him by these two-legged beasts, but recently he had been beaten repeatedly during sparring sessions, and his arrogance had long been mostly worn away.
A few days ago, someone's horrific hydrogen explosion was still fresh in MUTO's memory. Under the temptation of energy replenishment, MUTO finally compromised and swayed his body a few times unwillingly, as if he was turning around.
"Well done!" Lin En didn't force Mutos to do it to a higher standard, and threw the tritium crystal in his hand out again like a frisbee. After all, training has to be done step by step.
You know, when Mutos first arrived in the City of Kerosene, he was extremely arrogant, like an old man, leisurely lying in his manor every day, waiting for the wizards to bring him "meals", and he also burned a lot of bricks, stones and plants. The wizards in charge of guarding were all angry but dared not say a word.
Only the hot-tempered wizard Farrell who happened to pass by was ready to teach this guy a lesson and make him realize his status as a wizard's pet.
The result... is predictable!
Even the great wizard Farrell was beaten up, so no one dared to provoke him.
It was precisely because the MUTOs had become increasingly lawless and uncontrollable that Lynn had brought it out specifically when conducting the hydrogen explosion experiment and had it stay in the most suitable location for observing the explosion.
Just as he expected, after being frightened, the whole beast suddenly became much more docile.
It turns out that the best way to tame an animal is to give it a sweet date after giving it a beating.
After a few days of sparring, he can even understand some commands.
That’s really cause for celebration!
only……
He had always had high hopes for MUTO! This guy was an energy creature, a natural legend, but his combat power was particularly poor.
It was okay when dealing with opponents at the great wizard level, as he could take advantage of them with his extremely fast speed and energetic body. However, once he faced an enemy like Vittorio who had entered the legendary realm, he seemed not good enough.
Lin En felt that it was very likely that this guy's knowledge level was insufficient. Apart from close combat, he could only breathe out energy and was completely unable to exert his own strength.
It seems that I have to make up for the shortcomings in subjects such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry!
MUTO had just laid down comfortably, but then it suddenly jumped up as if it had sensed some malicious intent, and shivered uncontrollably. It looked around with its big eyes in confusion, and when it found no other enemies it lay down again, unaware that its nightmare was about to begin.
Vittorio on the side glanced at it, thinking hard whether he could do the same as the other party and rely on absorbing radioactive elements to quickly replenish the energy loss, but he was too embarrassed to try it in front of everyone.
After all, someone just threw tritium crystals as snacks to me like I was training a dog. If I asked for one, wouldn't I be the same as Mutos?
"Chancellor Vittorio!"
Lynn suddenly interrupted Vittorio's thoughts and asked whether the method of extinguishing chlorine trifluoride during the battle just now was related to absolute zero.
"Good!" Vittorio nodded. After completing the promotion, the scope of his domain expanded by more than ten times, and he could achieve almost strict control over the mimic elements in the domain! For example, he could reduce the spontaneous movement speed of the mimic elements to one hundred thousandth of the original level, so that even his own perception would find it difficult to detect the slight difference.
Of course, no matter how close they were, they didn't cross that line. -273 degrees Celsius and -273.15 degrees Celsius seemed to be only 0.15 degrees apart, but in fact they were two completely different concepts! Fortunately, the Eternal Flame used to deal with Lin En was barely enough.
Lin En was quite helpless about this. He had developed chlorine trifluoride less than a year ago and named it the Eternal Flame. However, it was extinguished many times in battles in recent months. This was a great irony.
But then Lin En adjusted his mood. Chlorine trifluoride can still play some role in legendary-level battles. It is already very good to make the opponent afraid of it.
This is also one of the few ways he can threaten the legend with his own strength, and can even restrain the energy body to a certain extent.
Vittorio also didn't have the courage to take it head-on, and could only rely on manipulating the magnetic field or simulating the ultra-low temperature of absolute zero to defend himself.
"What about radioactive elements? Can you analyze them now and mimic them with magic?" Harof asked another very crucial question.
Lynn and Aurora looked over curiously.
"Of course there is no problem. I have improved the Great Disintegration Technique. Now it can construct any known element!" Vittorio said with a faint smile. He opened his hands, and under the surge of magic power, a thumb-sized uranium stone appeared in front of everyone.
"In other words, you can now use your own strength to release [Skyfall]?" An expression of surprise emerged on Harof's face.
At the beginning, their idea for the nuclear explosion technique was to construct a complete spell slot like other spells and use it directly, rather than taking the trouble to collect nuclear fuel and use it as the core to perform the spell.
This made Harov feel like he was an apprentice again!
Because usually only apprentices need to use spell materials when casting spells.
"Yes, but it's not as easy as you think." Vittorio pondered for a moment and quickly began to explain.
One is an element that is simply emulated by magic within its own domain, and the other is a real material element that makes up the body and is filled with a lot of energy.
The former can only mimic chemical reactions between some elements, but only the latter has the ability to fission and fuse and release large amounts of energy.
In this process, magic only serves as a medium to achieve the transformation between matter and energy.
Hearing this, Lin En nodded. Nothing comes out of nothing. Energy will not appear or disappear out of thin air. When they cast magic before, they were only using and consuming magic power, a very advanced energy source.
It seems that even magic power cannot fully bear such terrible consumption now. After all, fusion and fission have involved the most core power of the elements.
"With my current magic power and energy reserves, I can probably release two large nuclear explosions equivalent to the critical mass." Vittorio added solemnly.
Uranium is the 92nd element in the periodic table!
As the ordinal number of the mimetic element increases, the magic power consumed will increase greatly. Moreover, the special feature of radioactive elements is that their internal structure is not stable, which requires more energy to maintain this state.
As for fusion, it is more difficult than fission, and he is still thinking about how to achieve this process completely with magic.
Vittorio told him all about his research and understanding of the legendary realm in recent days.
It would probably take him several months or even years to research and develop the corresponding techniques by himself, so pooling resources is undoubtedly a better approach.
Especially Lin En, the star of magic, always has some wonderful ideas. The concept of absolute zero was proposed by him to simulate the magic of [Ella] that is similar to the stillness of time and space.
"In addition, free from the constraints of the flesh and in the energy state, my speed can even reach over 300 kilometers per hour!" Vittorio said quite complacently.
This speed is already far faster than an airship, and only a fighter plane at its fastest cruising speed can slightly exceed it...
"Only 300 kilometers? So slow?" Lin En was quite surprised.
Is this still slow? Harov and Aurora looked at Lin En in disbelief. They thought this was fast enough. It would only take more than an hour to fly directly from the City of Kerosene to the Holy City.
Lin En couldn't help but shook his head. Three hundred kilometers per hour is a very difficult speed for living things to reach, but compared with the speed of energy transfer, it can only be described as a snail's slow crawl! For example, the speed of lightning in the atmosphere can reach hundreds of kilometers per second, not to mention the speed of light, which circles the planet seven and a half times per second.
If you think in this way, describing it as a snail is already a compliment! (End of this chapter)
