Or, why don’t you find another savior?

From a certain perspective, Dayuan is Shiomi's magic furnace.

Soon, Morgan saw Shiomi standing in the hall on this floor. He was standing there with the red spear in his hand slowly disappearing.

Morgan frowned in displeasure, as if his vision was burned by the presence of the gun.

"If you need a weapon, why don't you just tell me?"

"Don't you need a weapon too?" Xi Jian pursed her lips helplessly, "Besides, I have my own weapons. I was just afraid of refusing your kindness last time."

As he spoke, Morgan came closer and said, "Since you are my husband, you should listen to my advice. People like you should not rely too much on that gun."

"rely on……"

Shiomi felt that Morgan was exaggerating a bit.

He just thought that the gun was suitable for killing the familiar.

"Anyway, I can handle what's next, you just watch the show from the sidelines."

"That's what I originally planned."

Morgan said, changing back into his regular clothes and pushing up his glasses.

Chapter 37: Color Position Versus Classic Position

Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald finally realized something.

The Holy Grail War is not just a simple competition between magicians where honor and life are at stake.

But as the name suggests, it is a complete "war".

Only if you win can you survive. If you lose, your life and death will be in the hands of others.

Like now.

The twenty-four-layer barrier that he was so proud of was like a glass work of art and was ruthlessly shattered by Xijian Tianxi.

He was confident that no one could defeat the evil spirits and monsters, but Xijian Tianxi killed them all without leaving a single one.

In the past, Kenneth always looked down on this kind of practical magician.

It's unclear what faction they belong to, but they are just the lowest class who can do the dirty work for the Magic Association.

As a noble of the Magic Association and a monarch, Kayneth always instinctively looked down upon the other Masters participating in the Holy Grail War.

And now, Kenneth finally understood the problem.

Non-mainstream magicians in the wild or self-taught magicians often cannot even reach the rank of the last son (Frame). Generally, for families that entered the Magic Association after the Industrial Revolution, even after several generations of hard work, their cause (Cause) has already been capped.

But Xijian Tianxi is a Pride, and he must have extraordinary abilities and special achievements to obtain such a rank.

If he had not belonged to any faction, Shiomi might even have been able to make further progress.

Kenneth stood in the room with his hands behind his back, and the ceremonial suit of Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid had already been unfolded.

Automatic defense, automatic tracking, designated attack.

His fiancée Solaw had already stayed in the room under his persuasion, and Kenneth himself was the last line of defense.

Should we call Lancer back to defend?

Kenneth looked at the three Command Spells on the back of his hand, still struggling with this matter.

He no longer had time to watch the battle between Lancer and Berserker. The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid had already captured Shiomi Tianxi's trace and launched an attack.

As the heaviest substance at room temperature, mercury generates enormous kinetic energy when driven at high pressure and high speed, and its shape can be changed into a whip, a blade, or a spear in an instant. Its sharpness far exceeds that of a laser, and is equivalent to an ultra-high-pressure water jet.

The walls of the hallway wailed and were filled with smoke and dust.

Kenneth clearly felt the Moon Spirit Marrow transform into a sharp blade and hit the target.

He didn't think that just one strike like this would be enough to defeat Xi Jian Tianxi. He just hoped to inflict some impact on the enemy and thus establish the advantage of fighting at home.

Having lost the barrier and familiars too quickly, the only things Kenneth could rely on were the three magic furnaces he brought with him, which allowed him to avoid falling into danger due to magic exhaustion in this duel.

"Control of fluids. As I recall, your attributes should be 'wind' and 'water'."

Shiomi emerged from the smoke and dust. When Kenneth saw Shiomi's figure clearly, he was stunned.

The Moon Spirit Marrow liquid transformed into a sharp blade and continuously slashed at him at an extremely high speed, but all these attacks seemed to be acting, stopping just before they reached him, unable to move forward any further.

"Scalp!" Kenneth shouted.

Mercury turned into countless sharp blades and attacked Shiomi together.

Even with Kenneth's direct control, these sharp blades still could not touch Shiomi.

"It's useless." Xijian said lightly.

The third of the original runes, the rune against the enemy.

Under the effect of this rune, the blades of all weapons will become dull and heavy, and eventually become useless.

No matter how Kenneth ordered or drove, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid could not hit Shiomi as he expected and cause the expected damage.

Fortunately, Kenneth has entered combat mode. The random attack of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid at this moment is just a means for him to cover his sight. The magic circuit is running at full capacity, obtaining magic power from the magic furnace, and then -

The fog was still condensing in the air, mixing with the smoke and dust, obscuring the vision of both sides.

The temperature dropped rapidly, far lower than it had been this winter.

Xijian Tianxi's energy makes him look like a sitting duck in front of the Mercury Suit.

A strong wind gradually blew up in the enclosed space.

Wind and water, Kenneth's innate magical attributes.

By manipulating these two attributes at the same time, it is easy to perform ice magic.

Now was not the time to show off his erudition in magic, so Kenneth decisively chose the attribute he was most familiar with, minimizing the chanting time, and was able to quickly launch a large-scale magic with only the support of the magic seals on his body and the magic furnace.

He had seen Xijian Tianxi's ice magic in the port warehouse last night. Kenneth thought that the scale of the magic was excellent, but not as good as his own when he gave it his all.

"Ice, freeze my enemies (Eis, Befreie meine Feinde)!"

The wind was blowing hard, and countless six-pointed snowflakes swept across the 32nd floor of the hotel. He wanted to make it impossible for Xi Jiantianxi to advance or retreat.

Xi Jiantianxi raised his hand and saw that his fingers had begun to freeze. The ice spikes were covering his entire body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Water drops turn into ice, and breath turns into frost.

After all, he is the genius of the Clock Tower and the ruler of the Minerals Department of the Magic Association.

Xijian slowly closed his eyes, and in a blink of an eye, his entire body was sealed under solid ice, just like the primitive humans trapped in the snow mountains tens of millions of years ago.

Through the colorless and clear ice, Kenneth saw Shiomi open her eyes again and look at him.

“Scalp!”

Kenneth gave the order again, this time he wanted to smash Shiomi to pieces together with the ice.

At this time, it was the Holy Grail War, and the duel between magicians meant a life-and-death contest. If anyone from the Magic Association wanted to cause trouble for Kenneth, they would not be able to use this as an excuse.

Then, Kenneth saw Shiomi's mouth moving slightly, as if he was saying something.

"What? Are you begging for mercy? You didn't run away in the face of my great magic. Are you afraid now?" Kenneth showed a smug smile. "I'm sorry, your threat was too great, and you caused me such a loss."

Before he finished speaking, a faint red light appeared in the wall of wind and snow that was powerful enough to destroy everything.

The fist-sized red light beat like a pulse, and then suddenly expanded. The flame broke through the barrier, swallowed up the thick snow and wind that made it impossible to open your eyes, and swept towards Kenneth.

Realizing that something was wrong, Kenneth hurriedly summoned the Mercury Suit back for defense, wrapping himself in it to isolate himself from the flames and prevent himself from being burned to charcoal.

When Shiomi spoke, he was not begging for mercy, but performing magic.

A simple word is all that is needed to activate the great fire magic - Titanomachia.

Ice melts into water, and water dries up into steam.

The 32nd floor, which was still shrouded in smoke, was as hot as the hottest season in the rainforest, and Shiomi had to use magic to block out the heat.

Chapter 38 Life and Death

He looked at Kenneth who was tightly wrapped in mercury. The flames could not burn. The flames licked the mercury weakly but could not break through the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid at all.

but……

Shiomi stood in the middle of the flames, with his arms raised, staring at the mercury ball.

Mercury is a highly toxic substance. The magic outfit made by Kenneth using mercury will definitely suppress the toxicity of mercury through magic power, or its own imprint can help the host suppress this part of the harm.

All in all, under normal circumstances, the danger of Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid can basically be ignored.

But what if I were burned by a great magic using fire?

Shiomi didn't know that he was carefully guarding against the mercury vapor that might escape into the air, while waiting for Kenneth's reaction.

Using fire to break ice and snow is actually a very risky method for a magician. If the magician is not strong enough, he will only be trapped in his own web.

The hotel's fire alarm suddenly rang. Xijian was stunned and sighed silently.

If this continues, I'm afraid the fire department and the police will be attracted here.

His index finger drew something in the air.

The Seventh of the Original Runes, the Fire-Suppressing Rune.

Using spells to reduce and suppress fire, extinguishing fire is just the simplest application.

At the same time, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid that wrapped Kenneth and protected him from the flames gradually cracked.

"Wind..."

Kenneth was about to perform wind magic when his breathing suddenly choked and he began to retch violently.

He covered his mouth and retched several times. After he took his hands away, his white gloves were stained with red blood. His body suddenly began to ache. His head and abdomen, although they were not injured, began to hurt as well.

"Mercury...poisoning..." Kenneth immediately realized the problem.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid is indeed an excellent gift that can be used for both offense and defense. Kenneth has always been extremely satisfied with and trusted his work.

But I made a wrong move today.

He didn't expect that Xi Jian Tianxi would ignore his attribute disadvantage and use fire magic to counterattack. After he launched a defense in desperation, even the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid evaporated because it could not resist the fire magic.

Just now... Kenneth placed himself in extremely concentrated mercury vapor without any defense.

"I thought you knew to pay attention to this kind of problem." Shiomi couldn't help but want to complain.

As expected, academics are academics. Away from their small rooms and desks, they lack sufficient consideration for the ever-changing situations on the battlefield.

After complaining in his heart, he slowly raised his right hand.

"PantaRhei."

The strong wind turned into sharp blades, sweeping towards Kenneth from all directions.

"...Verteidigung (defense)!" Kenneth shouted hoarsely with difficulty breathing.

The Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid rotated at high speed, blocking all the wind blades, but Kenneth was unable to mobilize his magic power quickly, and the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid also appeared cracks under the attack, and then slowly closed.

But this was only a matter of time. Kenneth soon could not sustain the magic power to maintain the form of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, and his defense gradually collapsed under the strong wind.

The mercury slowly crawled across the floor, pooling together like slime, awaiting the next instruction.

Dark circles began to appear around Kenneth's eyes, and he felt his concentration fading and his physical judgment weakening.

Is there anyone... is there anyone who can help me...

Kenneth's will to survive prompted him to instinctively plead for help.

As if a god heard these words, a hand was placed behind his back.

"What a useless man. He got into trouble because of his magic costume." Solau sneered at Kenneth coldly, but he was performing healing magic with his hands.

Shiomi stood there, silently watching the couple. He knew that they were an engaged couple.

However, no matter how I looked at it, I couldn't feel the affection between the two of them that they should have as an engaged couple. Instead, it felt more like a cold partnership between magicians.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Morgan in the dark.

Morgan, however, looked away with an expression that said, "Don't look at me, I'm not that kind of person."
