Chapter 1038: Chapter 791: You Forgot the Rules!
"That makes sense, but how can I get a God Chaser to parasitize my consciousness?" Long Yi asked.
"There are two methods. The first is to actively attract him, making him believe that parasitizing your consciousness is more useful. However, the second method should suit your taste better, which is to corner the God Chaser until he has no choice but to choose a new host."
"So, how can I corner him?"
"That’s exactly what I’m about to tell you. It’s very difficult to corner him, even if you kill Solis, it’s useless. Unless you can enter Solis’s mental world like now, and confront the God Chaser directly. But entering someone else’s mental world is extremely dangerous because in their consciousness, they can control everything. You must undergo extremely rigorous training to take this action. After this competition ends, I will tailor a training plan for you. For now, go back!"
Almost in the blink of an eye, Long Yi’s consciousness returned to the real world.
"How long was I out?" Long Yi asked Ai Lin, who was sitting beside him.
"About three seconds," Ai Lin said.
"Not bad for efficiency. I just saw Yavenny. She left a projection in my consciousness, and she is planning how I can deal with Solis," Long Yi said.
"Will it be dangerous?" The first thing Ai Lin was concerned about was this matter.
"There probably will be, but it should be an unprecedented experience," Long Yi said, looking pleased.
"Sister! I’ve discovered amazing news!" Yavenny burst into the Demon King’s sleeping chamber where Yamir, who had been lazily lounging on the bed, opened her groggy eyes and looked annoyed at her sister.
"If you can’t tell me some amazing news, I’ll have to ’punish’ you, my dear sister!" Yamir said with a giggle.
"My projection just synced with me with new information, you will never guess what that guy Long Yi did!"
"What? Did he become a deity?" Yamir said with a sneer.
"He obtained a strand of Divine Status!"
Whoosh!
Yamir sat up abruptly, gripping Yavenny’s shoulders fiercely, trying to see a trace of joking in her eyes. But there was only excitement in Yavenny’s eyes!
"Oh my god, history has been changed!" Yamir murmured, "But how is that possible!"
"Fine Gold Golem!" Yavenny said.
"That Time Traveler? Could history really be changed?" Yamir covered her mouth, as if she had said something that should not have been uttered.
The sisters paused for a moment before Yamir suddenly asked, "What about the God Chasers?"
"Long Yi has already found the person parasitized by the God Chaser. My plan is to have Long Yi be parasitized by the God Chaser and, with the suppression of Divine Status, he will completely enslave the God Chaser!"
Yamir immediately burst into laughter, "Hahaha, this is going to be fun!"
Following the match with Balak, the opponent in the round of sixteen against eight was another Guardian from the Ancient Mage Tower. At that time, this Guardian was stronger than anyone Long Yi had faced before. This strength came from the opponent’s aura, which was a strong self-confidence in one’s own power and an accumulation of experience from such battles. Could one accumulate combat experience in the relatively closed environment of the Ancient Mage Tower?
No, absolutely not.
As Long Yi approached the opponent, he immediately dismissed that speculation. The opponent’s aura undeniably came from real life-or-death battles, something training could never bring.
"I see your confusion, Long Yi. Let me tell you, I was once also from the surface, and I was a powerful warrior from the ancient times. Only now, I am here, possessing even greater strength."
Then Long Yi understood. Unlike the Ancient Mage Tower, for a so-called surface dweller to become a powerful being, individual strength was very important. Meanwhile, in the Ancient Mage Tower, some Masters were not at all skilled in battle; they were purely focused on studying Magic.
"With that being the case, then I am reassured." Long Yi nodded slightly, indicating he understood. Then he took out his Cosmic Stone staff and took up a fighting stance. The opponent, on the other hand, pulled a golden ring from their personal space and held it in their hand.
That golden ring must be an artifact of the Giants.
"Ship Cannon Technique!"
The Guardian of the Ancient Mage Tower quickly cast a buff on himself, and almost at the same time, Long Yi completed his first spell.
"Random Casting!"
Random Casting can be viewed as a buff, causing the person it’s applied to randomly cast spells unconsciously. However, the actual spells are a matter of luck; if one is lucky, a series of powerful spells might be unleashed that could smash the opponent. But with bad luck, one might end up buffing the enemy instead, which would be counterproductive. Therefore, usually nobody would use Random Casting in a critical moment.
But Long Yi was no ordinary person.
When the opponent saw that Long Yi had actually applied Random Casting to himself, he immediately laughed. Clearly, Long Yi seemed to be entertaining himself, which could even be interpreted as not taking his opponent seriously at all.
"Tenfold Spellcasting!"
Both Long Yi and the opponent applied a second buff to themselves almost at the same time.
And at that moment, the boost from Random Casting started to take effect, as a small orb of light appeared beside Long Yi, followed by the simultaneous appearance of ten light orbs.
"Haha, lucky! It’s the Ship Cannon Technique!"
The ten light orbs expanded in size and then unleashed ten deadly beams of light.
"Ethereal Light Shield!"
The Guardian of the Ancient Mage Tower immediately cast a shield, deploying tenfold Ethereal Light Shields at once, completely blocking the lethal strike.
"Dark Binding!" Long Yi took the initiative to cast again, and tenfold Dark Bindings emerged. The Guardian of the Ancient Mage Tower desperately dodged but was locked down by the seventh Dark Binding, and subsequently, the remaining three took effect simultaneously.
"Let’s take a chance." Long Yi said with a slight smile.
At this moment, Random Casting occurred again.
And this time, the spell that was cast randomly was Random Casting itself! Then, ten Random Casting boost effects were applied to Long Yi.
So now Long Yi was about to randomly cast ten spells!
"Now it’s getting interesting."
Long Yi smiled wryly, he had only intended to play around, but had not expected it to turn out this way.
"Since that’s the case, it’s all or nothing!"
"Tenfold Casting!"
Long Yi cast a Tenfold Casting boost on himself. Immediately afterward, a mess of spells erupted from him, including buffs, debuffs, and various attack spells. In an instant, the entire arena was in chaos. Even the Guardian of the Ancient Mage Tower was affected and couldn’t launch a proper attack. Now he was also covered in a mix of buffs and debuffs, with all the spells combining to the point that he could no longer operate his magic normally!
"Enough! Magic Dispel!" the Guardian roared, sending out a wave of energy that cleansed away all spells from both himself and Long Yi.
Magic Dispel is a very powerful magic that can clean all spells within a certain range of oneself, and the mana cost is directly proportional to the strength of the surrounding mana. It is rarely used because it not only dispels other people’s magic but also one’s own beneficial spells. And most importantly, dispelling one’s own spells also consumes one’s mana!
Had the situation not truly spiraled out of control, the Guardian would never have used this spell.
"Thanks, I was just wondering how to finish this off." Long Yi said, sweating profusely and smiling wryly.
"Don’t thank me, because you are about to fall at my feet and wail!"
The Guardian lifted a golden ring and cast with one hand.
A magic missile flew from his palm, passed through the golden ring, and instantaneously turned into dozens of missiles!
"That’s powerful!"
Long Yi was taken aback, but he neither dodged nor fired magic missiles to intercept them; instead, he directly activated his shield to withstand all the magic missiles. To his surprise, all the magic missiles turned out to be real!
"Hey, not bad!" Long Yi chuckled and responded with a series of magic missiles of his own. However, the opponent rotated the golden ring, which instantly drew in a strange attraction force, absorbing all the magic missiles that Long Yi had fired!
"Hey, isn’t that considered cheating?" Long Yi called out loudly.
But clearly, using artifacts didn’t fall under the category of cheating.
Being able to quickly replicate spells and absorb the enemy’s spells, especially in a duel purely determined by magic, the opponent seemed to have a tremendous advantage!
"Ship Cannon Technique!"
A light orb formed in front of Long Yi, and then a beam of light sprayed forth, which the Guardian also managed to absorb completely with the golden ring. Not only that, but Long Yi noticed that the energy within the golden ring seemed to have increased!
Long Yi’s brow furrowed slightly, feeling somewhat at a loss.
The Guardian of the Ancient Mage Tower started to laugh, "I thought Long Yi, who commands great respect on land, slaying one ancient powerhouse after another, would possess great skills. It turns out that’s not the case at all!"
Yet Long Yi also laughed, "Fool, you’ve forgotten the rules of this competition."
The Guardian paused briefly, his face turning slightly red. He had been so focused on the battle with Long Yi that he had indeed forgotten this wasn’t a fair duel but a competition with restricted game rules. And Long Yi was a warrior, not a mage!
The Guardian then stopped talking and started to cast various spells in an attempt to suppress Long Yi. Long Yi noticed, however, that the Guardian wasn’t channeling every spell through the golden ring, especially the larger ones, which he was still casting directly. Did this mean the golden ring actually had its limits?
Large spells?
Long Yi suddenly charged toward the Guardian.
Yes, we can’t use any combat elements, but who said we can’t cast spells at close range?
