Even the Blood Ring within his body seemed to come alive under the glow of the blood moon.
This is the downside of constantly stuffing "garbage" into your body; you never know when it will become a hidden danger.
However, if there's enough "waste" in the body, this kind of hidden danger isn't a big deal.
The "trash" will suppress each other on their own.
At this moment, the battle situation was briefly stagnant due to Wuzhiqi and Jiz's antics.
But words alone could never truly sway a man who had once served as the Dean of the Atlas Academy.
Or rather, the vast majority of people present would not be affected by this.
Medea seized that moment and initiated the battle!
Countless composite light rings, each comparable in size to cannonballs, burst forth from the already unfolded magic array.
They didn't use their killer move right away; according to Matou Ike's plan, everything was aimed at stalling for time.
This strategy was adopted under the premise that the source of this place was occupied by heterogeneous magic.
After all, magicians and magicians are different; they are not combat-specialized professions. Without the support of the all-around magic workshop, their strength would be greatly reduced.
Especially now that the opponent clearly has the advantage in terms of the playing field.
This is actually somewhat similar to the terrain and weather in Pokémon battles.
It benefits the other party but harms oneself; it's like adding and subtracting.
This kind of debuff, aside from martial artists, is a nightmare for magicians.
Therefore, in this world, those who specialize in dealing with the Dead Apostles are still the Church's guys who only know how to train their bodies.
The light wheel, which was expected to cause physical collapse, was now approaching Tsbia's head.
Medea's opening attack may seem like just the clarion call to war, but it was actually very crucial.
This is directly related to Matou Ike's efforts to suppress Shion's vampiric urges.
Shion plays a crucial role in Matouchi's future plans.
This is something that's out in the open.
Even Tsbia knew this, which is why he immediately attacked Shion upon appearing, triggering Shion's blood-sucking urge.
But for every policy from above, there's a countermeasure from below.
It should be noted that the Blood Ring of Principle held by Matou Ike is something called "Fruit".
For magicians, the only use of this thing is to extend their lifespan.
But for those who didn't want to become Death Apostles but have already become Death Apostles, this is a cure-all.
However, the time and resources required to create such a "fruit" are enormous, considering that the Fuhai Forest's true form only descends once every fifty years.
Even if Matou Ike only wanted to quickly catalyze the growth of a secondary fruit that could temporarily suppress Shion's vampiric urges, it would still take a lot of time.
That's why we had the initial dialogue offensive, and Medea's current entanglement tactics.
Tsbia also noticed the strangeness of the place, but he found it impossible to stop it.
Because the composite magic wheel that Medea just used was not the kind of magic that would send you crashing straight into a wall or the ground if you dodged it.
She even added spatial teleportation!
This is a miracle she once performed at Ryudong Temple.
Thanks to this magic, even the monster Lancer couldn't capture her immediately and was even delayed by her.
Countless composite light wheels were currently shuttling between a dozen or so space teleportation sorcerers.
As long as Tsbia tries to dodge, the magic will continue until Medea runs out of the magic power she obtained from Matou Ike.
If he wants to quickly thwart Matou Ike's plans, he needs to endure these magic spells.
Although these halos were not Medea's strongest attack, they were still genuine divine magic.
Forcing yourself to eat it won't be a pleasant experience.
Chapter 419 Simulated Holy Grail 4k
While Tsbia's attention was diverted by Medea, Matouchi quietly began his actions.
Without any hesitation, Shion quickly swallowed the special medicine made by Matou Ike using the "fruit" principle blood ring. Almost at the same time, her body seemed to be infused with new life power.
The urge to suck blood vanished abruptly, and her eyes gradually cleared.
It seems to be an alternative method of replenishing mana.
At this moment, without hesitation, Shion used the etheric threads she had previously buried near the Pharaoh's Coffin.
Her fingers moved unconsciously in the air, and tiny threads of light wove rapidly through the air.
If Elgo, currently connected to the Great Library of Alexandria, is a super server, then Aster, which connects the Ethernet cable to Elgo, becomes the computer that controls this server.
Lingzi Computer.
Immediately afterwards, Violet, who had already prepared to receive massive amounts of data, also resisted the information that came from the alchemists of the Atlas Institute branch in the late Age of Gods, who had inscribed it on the Great Library of Alexandria.
This is something only alchemists from the Atlas Institute can do.
No, or rather, only Shion can do this.
Because simply possessing the ability to think at high speed and in segments would render one an idiot in an instant when faced with such a massive influx of information.
In other words, the load-bearing capacity is not strong enough.
The CPU exploded due to overclocking.
But Shion is different; she is a genius among geniuses of the Atlas Academy.
At the age of ten, he had already used his family's inherited trait, "spiritual nerves," to summarize the information he obtained by using alchemical ethereal threads to pierce the brains of others.
In other words, she was already on the path to becoming a spiritual hacker.
If she were placed in the Moon Grail era, she might eventually be able to compete with Kishinami Hakuno.
Even an enlightened being might be able to corrupt it.
At the same time, Matouchi sensed that Shion had completed the initial work.
He walked up to her, and seeing that Shion was somewhat hesitant, he picked up a strand of hair (etheric thread) from her head and inserted it directly into his own temple.
But Shion was still somewhat hesitant.
It's worth noting that she initially used "spiritual nerves" to invade other people's brain nerves, reading their memories and thoughts.
They replicate others' knowledge and experience, in a demonic and inhumane way, gaining control of their lives.
Although she was targeting people who had violated the Atlas Institute's rules, people who were already on the kill list.
Even so, she was still isolated by almost everyone within the Atlas Institute.
Everyone was afraid of her, everyone was wary of her.
This was the first time someone had willingly thrown their life in front of her, especially someone who could potentially become her enemy.
"Is this really a good idea? You should have guessed my origins. If your goal is to save the world, shouldn't I be your enemy?"
"Are you still worrying about this? Besides, I only asked you to read that spell formula; I didn't ask you to look through any other memories."
Matouchi waved his hand, urging Shion to start working as soon as possible. At first glance, he looked like a heartless factory owner.
Ziyuan twitched the corners of her mouth. Although that's what she said, once she invaded his brain, she could read everything about the guy in front of her.
This is a complete test of her character and integrity.
This is the first time I've been trusted like this, and it feels a little strange.
But since the other party had already said that, she couldn't refuse any longer.
The memory has begun to be read.
At the same time, Tsbia also noticed the actions of Matouchi.
But instead, he slowed down the pace.
After seeing the "fruit" in Matou Ike's hand, he realized that he couldn't stop the other party from succeeding.
This is a deficiency in intelligence.
He turned his head to look at Medea, who was floating high in the sky looking down at him.
"Hey, are you wasting your magic like this just to stall me?"
As she spoke, she calmly twisted away the light wheel that came hurtling from behind, which was digging through the crystal floor, and then manipulated the crystal shards on the ground to stab the cloaked witch holding a staff above her head.
"Because that's the task I was assigned."
Medea did not dodge, or rather, what remained in that position was merely an illusion.
Its true form has already materialized in another corner through spatial transfer.
Just like a mirage in the mirror and water.
The crystal passed right through the phantom as it struck it, leaving a groove in the ceiling that was probably tens of meters deep.
Keep in mind that this is the fourth level of the Great Library of Alexandria, the most powerful area in the entire workshop.
Its destructive power and expressiveness are astonishing, but if it misses, that's another story.
"The magicians of the Age of Gods are indeed formidable. They can even use spatial teleportation magic in this environment. But without a Great Source to draw upon, how long can you maintain this?"
Tsbia adjusted his posture while keeping an eye on Medea.
Those cold eyes were calculating how many steps it would take to kill her.
"Who knows? Maybe three minutes, maybe five minutes? Anyway, don't even think about going there before my magic runs out."
Medea simply smiled calmly, with a cat-and-mouse mentality.
But in reality, the balance of power in this battle has always been tilting in Tsbia's favor.
Magical techniques of spatial teleportation would be far too costly in the modern world.
Medea's defeat was inevitable; it was only a matter of time.
