Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Yale knew he couldn't use large-scale magic anymore, because chanting spells would take too long, and Liu Ning was just too fast. If they had any skills left, they were all large-scale spells that would involve many people and might not even be able to hit Liu Ning. Historically, some people have challenged magicians and survived, but these people did so not because they were powerful enough, but because their families were powerful.
Everyone knows how powerful mages are, especially their area-of-effect attacks. If they were to unleash their full power, it would be no joke. Once, an ice mage did just that; he froze half a city—not a human-inhabited city, but the outer cities overrun by ferocious beasts. Half the beasts in the city were wiped out. How many were there? No one has kept count, but it was no less than several hundred thousand.
Another example is when the ferocious beasts attacked the city. Hundreds of thousands of beasts advanced in unison, but a great mage wiped them all out in just 5 minutes. Although the great mage needed to rest for a month, his mission was already accomplished. After losing hundreds of thousands of beasts, they had no will to fight and all of them began to retreat at full speed. Therefore, the great mage's role was obvious.
Unfortunately, Mr. Yale is not at that level yet. Given the current situation, if Mr. Yale had the ability, he would probably use it. Yale is a very narrow-minded guy. He only thinks about winning. As for other aspects needed to win, they are not within his consideration. Even if he loses a lot of manpower and resources, it is not within his consideration. As long as he can defeat Liu Ning, other losses are not important.
Yale knew he couldn't use large-scale magic anymore, because chanting spells would take too long, and Liu Ning was just too fast. Before he could even finish his own spell, Liu Ning would likely already be attacking him. A slight misstep could cost him his head. So, he was using instant-cast magic now. For example, the ice balls and ice spikes would follow Liu Ning wherever he went, making this situation quite difficult.
Besides chasing after him, this guy also dug trap after trap for Liu Ning. For example, he knew Liu Ning's landing spot all along. When Liu Ning was about to land, an ice spike would rise from the ground. If Liu Ning didn't react quickly enough, he might be pierced through the sole of his foot by the ice spike. This happened several times. Liu Ning really felt the power of the magician. Even with the system's help, he was almost hit several times. If it weren't for the system, even a war god-level expert would probably be covered in wounds long ago. The attack power of these magicians is definitely not to be underestimated.
Furthermore, Liu Ning discovered another problem. When he punched the ice spike earlier, he thought it would shatter, but it only developed a bunch of cracks and fell to the ground. This meant that the ice had become even harder. Even the hardest Kro alloy, Liu Ning could break one or two with a single punch, but hitting these ice spikes was like tickling them. It was clear how much magic power Yale had used. The hardness of the ice spikes was directly proportional to the amount of magic power invested. This guy had really used all his hidden skills just to quickly subdue Liu Ning and avoid losing face in society.
Liu Ning was having a very tough time, having used all his abilities. Yale was in a similar situation. Although Yale appeared to have the upper hand, Mr. Yale knew that they had also used all their skills. If they had any skills left, they were all large-scale spells that would involve many people and might not even be able to hit Liu Ning. The main problem was that they couldn't finish reciting their spells, and Liu Ning would never give them a chance.
Therefore, he could only use these instant-cast spells. Although he could cast these instant-cast spells, the damage they caused to Liu Ning was limited. He had already consumed 40% of his magic power, but Liu Ning had not suffered any fatal damage yet. Continuing like this would not do him any good.
While the two were fighting, the garrison's army had already arrived. If they were allowed to continue their commotion, no one knew what would happen. However, no one knew what was going on inside, and even experts were unwilling to go in to investigate. If the fight escalated, it might even be harmful to them if they went in. So, they simply left it to their own devices. The army's main task here was to seal off the area. No matter what they were doing inside, as long as ordinary civilians weren't allowed in, and they couldn't come out either, the impact on the civilians would be minimized. As long as they were safe, who cared what kind of mess they made inside? After all, this building belonged to Liu Ning, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.
500 meters away from the building, many soldiers were already feeling the cold. These soldiers had very strong senses. They tightened their clothes. These days, strange things happen all the time. Liu Ning is clearly a soldier, yet he dares to challenge a mage. What a joke! If it were before, they would have thought Liu Ning would have been killed long ago. But now it seems like they are fighting back and forth, and the mage can't do anything to Liu Ning. How is this possible?
Throughout human history, it's not that no one has ever challenged a magician. They all wanted to test their skills against magicians. Each of them was a top genius in their respective region, achieving various victories in their fields. Without this confidence, they probably wouldn't have dared to challenge a magician. However, without exception, they all failed and were eventually killed by the magician.
If you dare to challenge the authority of a mage, they are capable of doing anything you can't imagine. So even if some geniuses are powerful enough, they don't dare to challenge mages. After all, it's like a curse that no one can overcome. Many soldiers admire Liu Ning, but these people are not fools. They are well aware of the power of mages, so they can only pray in their hearts, hoping for a miracle.
Historically, some people have challenged magicians and survived, but these people did so not because they were powerful enough, but because their families were powerful. Even if a magician defeated them, he would not dare to kill them directly, so these people survived. However, Liu Ning is far inferior to them.
