Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

"As expected of a body of fire energy, ordinary high-level fire elemental magic is useless... I wonder if the Dragon Flame Curse can counter it? If not, the Dragon Spring Curse should be able to strongly restrain it..."

On the secret arena, Ledo floated in the air and Ricky also flew up. They could no longer land on the ground. The jade-like floor was now scorched hot by Gabbard. The steaming heat waves from the ground were wrapped in the heat, and even the wind was distorted when it passed by.

It was already noon in the Ancient Tree Secret Realm. The sun was blazing overhead, the golden light was blazing, the wind was hot, and the air was burning. However, Ledo felt that the scorching sun was not as strong as the scorching heat of Gabbard on the stage below.

Ledo tentatively cast a high-level fire elemental magic, but it didn't work on Gabbard. Instead, it increased his momentum. Gabbard's whole body was covered in dark blue flames, and the temperature around him was getting higher and higher.

Ledo felt this scene was very familiar. Maria had told him a long time ago that when Ledo was first controlled by the black flame monster in the ruins of Cerberus, he was also emitting black flames from the inside out, which was very scary.

Later, in the illusion of the Specsat magic mirror, Ledo witnessed himself transforming into a black flame monster. When he saw Gabbard like this, he felt that the two were quite similar.

"He's so good at playing with fire... The Magic Puppet Master is also good at playing with fire... Could it be that this person is an undercover agent of the Light and Shadow Society? A body of fire energy? It's one of the rare bodies that the Light and Shadow Society covets!"

Ledo was slightly stunned, then suddenly clapped his hands, and then a look of realization appeared in his eyes. He was upset before because there were many strong people in this Magic Conference, and he was always at a disadvantage. He had no time to look for any cult undercovers, and had long since forgotten about any special missions.

In fact, he had suspected Gabbard before. Now, the strength and innate magic displayed by Gabbard were exactly in line with the skills of the magic puppet master, and Ledo's suspicion deepened.

Before Ledo could carefully consider the connection between the two, the space about ten meters around him suddenly tore into many cracks, and countless dark blue flame wind blades broke through the air, carrying sharp murderous aura and the arrogance of burning everything, attacking Ledo from all directions.

Ledo has deployed the magic field of emptiness, but the range of his field is relatively small. Under normal circumstances, the effective range of emptiness is about fifteen meters centered on his life root.

The further out you go, the less effect the empty space will have. At this moment, Gabbard forcibly broke through and was about ten meters away from you.

Gabbard's dark blue flame wind blade, with the blessing of wind elemental power, the wind helped the fire and doubled the magic power. The speed was naturally extremely fast, even faster than the speed when Ledo burst out with the Wind Step.

If it weren't for the ten-meter buffer provided by Kong Kong Ruzhi, Ledo would have been pierced through the body by countless terrifying flaming wind blades. But despite this, his pressure was getting greater and greater because the number of flaming wind blades was increasing.

After these flaming wind blades hit Ledo's basalt armor, they did not dissipate, but bounced back and turned around, attacking again with the newly appeared blades. Ledo was surrounded by flying flaming wind blades, and the number could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

"If I hadn't sensed the magic power, I would have really thought it was the Five Elements Family's 'Ten Thousand Swords Technique'... No, it should be the 'Ten Thousand Knife Technique'!" Ledo was secretly surprised. He seldom suffered a loss in speed, but he still carefully observed his opponent's magic in his mind, looking for flaws.

Gabbard slowly flew up from the ring, seemingly at his leisure. The light sword on the scepter in his hand kept flashing, releasing terrifying magic power and attacking his opponent fiercely.

Ledo was not the only one who felt the sudden increase in pressure. Ricky was far away from Ledo, but in the space about one meter around him, the same number of flaming wind blades appeared, madly attacking his vital parts.

Ricky is not like Ledo, who possesses the wonderful magical field of emptiness. His speed is completely unable to keep up with the Flame Wind Blade, so he can only defend himself and take the terrible magical attack of Gabbard.

He used the black spear in his hand to forcibly erect a magical protective shield, but it seemed that he could no longer move. He could only float in the air, watching himself being gradually swallowed by the flaming wind blade.

Gabbard fought against two geniuses alone, and it seemed that he had the upper hand. He realized that after Ricky's magic field was interrupted by Ledo, it would take a long time to adjust before it could recover.

Having seized a perfect opportunity, Gabbard threw all his strength into the battle and decisively attacked the two men with his innate magic, determined to get their scoring symbols.

Ledo dodged with his Suzaku Feather, and his Black Tortoise Armor rattled, but he was almost unable to withstand the impact of the flaming wind blade. He chanted quickly and threw out the pagoda tarot card. A tower of light appeared instantly, completely covering him and protecting him.

"Ah..." Just after a brief moment when Ledo's defense was effective, he was about to cast the Dragon Spring Spell to counterattack Gabbard, but at this moment, a miserable scream was heard, interrupting his spell.

Ledo frowned. His triple sense detected that Gabbard's magic had broken through Ricky's defense first. Something had penetrated a vital part of Ricky's body, even his heart was bleeding. It was obviously a fatal injury, and the scoring symbol was also broken.

However, what puzzled Ledo was that the black protective shield supported by Ricky's spear was still on his body, with no signs of being broken.

"Not good!" Ledo was shocked. He was about to use the secret method of the Five Elements to burst out with all his strength and use the Wind Step to force a breakthrough, but it was too late.

Only at this moment did his magical perception sense that countless thread-like objects invisible to the naked eye had silently penetrated the defenses of the basalt armor and the pagoda light shield and shot directly into his body.

With a "Puff..." sound, a fishy smell emerged from Ledo's throat, and several mouthfuls of blood spurted out. He felt that his internal organs were severely damaged, all of them were bleeding, and were covered with dense pores.

The energy of the ancient tree surged out from the surrounding space, enveloping both Ledo and Ricky and beginning to quickly repair their injuries. Although their lives were not in danger, Ledo felt the breath of death. The piercing pain from the inside out was not fake.

If it were in the outside world, Ledo would have died in an unclear manner. Only when the pain subsided a little could he concentrate and look at Gabbard with confusion.

"Could this incredibly destructive flaming wind blade be another cover-up? This..."

Ledo's triple senses were all focused around Gabbard, and he finally captured a strange energy trajectory. He was shocked and regretted his carelessness, which had put him in a desperate situation again.

At this time, the points of the three were: Leddo and Gabbard were 35 points each, and Rickey was 40 points. The gap was not big, and a reversal and change could happen at any time. The final competition was about to break out.

However, if Leddo's scoring token breaks again, he will be eliminated immediately, and Gabbard and Rickey's scoring tokens can be broken twice, which will undoubtedly turn into a dead end for Leddo.
