Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

Amidst the vast crowd, several wizards wearing robes bearing the insignia of the Thorn Ring were also watching the battle.

If Dago were here, he would recognize many of the faces among them as quite familiar.

"It's Dago."

A young wizard spoke in a low voice, his tone revealing barely suppressed excitement and exhilaration.

"It's unbelievable that he has already advanced to the third ring. I haven't seen him for about three years. I thought he had given up on this grand event, but I didn't expect it."

The wizard with the thorny ring tightened his grip on his staff, exclaiming in admiration, "So he had been involved all along, and even secured a place!"

"This is a grand gathering that brings together all the top wizarding geniuses in the entire South. Even Barker couldn't make it into the top 32."

"yes.."

Violet, her eyes as clear as lapis lazuli, wore a complex expression and said in a low voice, "Even Barker couldn't do it, yet he's already qualified to be Gehrman's opponent."

"Regardless of the outcome of this battle, Dago will become famous in the South."

The members of the Thorn Ring kept talking, unable to hide their excitement. Seeing Dago fighting on the stage, they also felt a sense of pride.

Others may not know, but those who share the same thorny path know best.

How old is Dago's soul?

He has been competing with others for almost an entire generation.

"boom!!"

The thick, paste-like lightning stubbornly resisted the rapidly spinning metal moon wheel. The titanium blade, enhanced with the flames of freezing and melting, could no longer penetrate within ten meters of Gehrman.

"stagnate!"

Beneath the cold, silver mask, Dago's eyes flickered slightly.

The spinning metal moon wheel suddenly dispersed, transforming from the strongest and sharpest blades into fluid, flowing water.

A torrent of silvery metal flowed rapidly around the area where Gehrman was located, but was blocked by the plasma and the power of the magic domain, which were like waves, and could not penetrate it.

The power of spatial stagnation emanated, and the flickering lightning seemed to fall into a momentary calm.

However, before Dago could unleash his [Shattered Silver Ice], the imprisoned void was shattered from within by an incredibly powerful and domineering force!

"Sizzle—"

A surge of blue-purple plasma erupted, shattering the silver-white metal mirror into countless pieces that scattered and exploded in all directions.

A large amount of titanium evaporated in the electric current, and Gehrman, surrounded by several bright electric snakes, calmly walked out from the center of the two energy bursts.

Stop trying these useless tricks.

Gehrman looked at Dago, his voice, amplified by countless crackling electric sparks in the air, was calm yet as majestic as thunder.

He spoke to D'Ago in a commanding tone, like a supreme monarch: "Show me your true abilities, or I won't give you another chance to cause trouble."

"hiss--"

Dago took a deep breath but did not answer.

The titanium that had scattered in the void and was attached to his body was collected into his robe.

Fighting a lightning wizard and covering your entire body with easily conductive metal is a rather foolish thing to do, especially against a powerful lightning wizard like Gehrman.

Dago only realized this then.

At this point, the huge fighting space had almost completely become Gehrman's home ground.

The air was filled with streaks of electricity. These sparks were not enough to cause any harm to Dago, but even with the protection of his mental field, he could still feel a slight tingling and stinging sensation.

This feeling even affected his mental strength.

Very powerful!

Gehrman's understanding and mastery of electrical methods has reached an incredible level.

The plasma spell he just released, the Double Domain?

It is estimated that they have already approached the realm of resonance of the three realms of law.

Otherwise, there's no reason why the Frozen Flame of the First Resonance Realm wouldn't be able to penetrate it!

"When fighting an electric mage, earth magic should be the most effective, or plant magic."

"Unfortunately, I know neither earth magic nor plant magic..."

Dago raised his hand, his five fingers loosely clenched in front of him.

A dense, mysterious aura flowed from his fingertips, his domain permeating his body. Countless frosts spread through the void, forming a vortex, from which a huge, pure white ice blade slowly rose.

Dago made a slashing motion.

A pure white ice blade swept across, instantly clearing away a large area of ​​lightning, leaving deep, dark slashes in the void.

His brows furrowed involuntarily.

Because Gehrman's electric field was too powerful and domineering, it almost drove away all free energy particles in the space except for electric ones, which greatly weakened the power of his ice magic.

Just like how Dago has always used his icy domain to weaken and suppress others, this feeling is very uncomfortable.

[Peerless Frozen Orb]!

Blizzard Formation!

[Elemental Resonance Spear]!

Dago remained expressionless, continuously summoning one powerful ice spell after another.

During the three years he spent in the Thorn Ring training pavilion, all three of his ice spells reached the limit of their power.

New laws overlapped with old laws, and layers of legal domains spread out, with frost expanding.

Dago's expression was icy, his silver-gray robes fluttering in the frost and snow, and he was surrounded by endless blue light. He swiftly regained control of this space from Gehrman!

The heated discussions outside the venue gradually subsided.

Countless onlookers were shocked by Dago's terrifying talent in ice magic. They couldn't imagine how a wizard could comprehend so many extraordinary magical powers at such a young age.

Could this person have been studying ice magic and learning how to chant spells since birth? Or is he simply a former overlord of frost in human skin?!

The electric current surrounding Gehrman had completely changed from blue to purple.

The deep purple lightning coalesced into rolling balls of lightning, roaming freely across the field and constantly colliding with gusts of cold air.

The vast fighting arena gradually dwindled to only two colors: ice blue and deep purple, clearly divided roughly by the middle of the platform.

The power generated by the collision of the magic domain and energy caused the void to distort. Even across the vast spatial distance and the protective barrier that blocked all energy fluctuations, the onlookers could still feel the terrifying destructive power contained within!

"This person is no ordinary opponent. Just which top genius from which lineage of ice magic has he emerged from?!"

Some wizards were moved, and many people also shifted some of their attention from Gehrman to Dago.

Just as the forces of electricity and ice were locked in a stalemate, a blazing red light suddenly flashed in the eyes of the previously silent Gehrman.

"Crimson Thunder!"

In an instant, the originally deep purple electric field suddenly burst forth with orange-red lightning from a certain point.

The orange-red hue spread throughout the entire domain in the blink of an eye. Gehrman's hair flew wildly, and he clasped his hands together in prayer.

In the blink of an eye, endless lightning gathered in his palm, finally transforming into a thick, spear-like crimson bolt of lightning that tore through layers of space, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction and annihilation, and shot fiercely toward Dago.

This lightning bolt was so fast that it was difficult for others to even detect it with their mental power.

【Ice Flame Winter Star!】

The moment Dago caught Gehrman casting the spell, he immediately set up the Winter Star Frost Domain that he had already laid out and anchored.

With the blessing of the [Multiple Prisms] rune, his current icy domain is now supported by a total of six ice-type extraordinary magic domains!

As the first exquisite octagonal snowflake fell, an indescribable, extreme cold power quietly bloomed around Dago!

Ice crystal spikes grow densely, and icy flames dance silently. The snow kingdom has arrived!

"Buzz—"

Under the domain filled with the freezing power of extreme cold, the speed of the crimson lightning released by Gehrman slowed down almost instantly.

Everyone watched as the crimson lightning slowly "crawled" through the icy void.

But before they could even be surprised, a figure, enveloped in a raging crimson lightning, crashed fiercely into that domain!

"Click-clack—"

Countless layers of ice shattered, and endless thunder vanished.

Gehrman appeared silently in front of the crimson lightning, gently grasping it as if it were a spear.

Then, looking at Dago, he spoke coldly.

"I told you."

"Stop using these useless tricks."

Gehrman slowly raised the lightning in his hand, and the previously weakened crimson lightning suddenly burst into an unprecedentedly dazzling red light in his hand.

At that moment, it seemed as if all the light in the sky had been stolen away by this lightning bolt, converging on a single point.

A terrifying aura, several times more terrifying than before, suddenly erupted from the lightning.

"[Thunderous Punishment - Spear of Destruction]!"

Dago's pupils contracted sharply as he watched the crimson, almost black, spear-shaped lightning rapidly enlarge in his pupils. He felt a stinging, tearing, and numbing sensation all over his body.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar was heard.

Even with the protective shield in place, many of the onlookers' hearts still trembled violently.

At this moment, many talented wizards watching from the surrounding stone pillars were also moved, and some even stood up from their seats.

"Triple Dharma Domain Resonance!"
