Chapter 901: How to Defeat a Level 12 Warrior in a Duel? Urgently Waiting Online

Boom!

A violent fireball shot out at high speed. A fourth-level Flame Explosion spell, doubly enhanced, followed by an ice wall strengthened with liquid nitrogen—

The fireball exploded, turning into pure white flames. The hemispherical ice wall immediately enveloped it, quickly turning into vapor. However, the flames colliding with the ice wall had already turned back, pressing inward, boiling and surging:

With an attack power close to level six, it was completely impossible to resist with just the body; even relying on spells or divine defenses, such an attack could not be easily withstood.

The two attackers shouted in horror.

Kali swung his longsword, unleashing sword energy, weaving an impenetrable web of light in front of him. However, the sword energy that could normally cut through a third-level fireball in one strike was instantly compressed to a smaller size when woven into a light web;

Bishop Stephen prayed softly, pushing his hands forward, casting a protective barrier over the two of them. But the white flames gently swept over, and the barrier shattered immediately, like ice melting in spring, or flames licking through paper.

No—

Completely useless—

We've encountered a master—who is this mage? So powerful!A level 9 bishop and a level 12 swordsman simultaneously felt a chilling fear in their hearts.

Kali instinctively took a step back, wanting to use his body to shield and open a path of escape for his companion. As a warrior, protecting the clergy had always been his duty!

However, Bishop Stephen reacted even faster. He lunged forward, urgently and quietly uttering two short words:

"Edict: Sacrifice!"

With a bang, blood exploded in the air, blocking the surging white flames for a brief moment. Along with the white flames, a thicker layer of white light erupted, enveloping the swordsman in armor—

The bishop's headless body fell powerlessly, crashing into the swordsman's back, as if using his life to utter his final word.

Escape.

Escape!

Kali drew his sword and rose.

Sword light flashed. The level 12 grand swordsman pushed his strength to the limit. Sword energy cleared the path ahead, while the holy light left by his companion enveloped his entire body. He turned to the side and kicked off with force.

Amidst the scorched smell, he felt his right hand lose sensation, then his right forearm, right upper arm... Before losing his right shoulder, he finally broke free from the flames, lifted his left hand, and chopped down on his right shoulder.

"Crack!"

The front half, turned to ashes, the back half, leaving only bone, was cut off by Kali's left palm and held firmly in his hand. Without a second thought, the swordsman kicked the ground and charged at full speed!

The wind howled in his ears, and the trees flashed past in his vision. Kali gripped the humerus of his right arm with his left hand, transforming into a bolt of lightning, rushing straight ahead.

Closer, even closer, the terrified face of the mage was now within reach, just one more strike to pierce his throat—

Crack!

The bone sword, or rather the humerus of the level 12 holy swordsman, collided head-on with an invisible magic barrier.

Crackling, spiderweb-like cracks spread from the point of impact. The level 4 force field barrier, hit by this full-power strike, finally vanished without a trace.

However, in that brief moment, two more barriers sprang up.

One was still a force field barrier, firmly protecting the mage in the center; the other was a radiant lightning barrier, forming an impenetrable circle outside the force field barrier.

From within the barriers, the mage's voice came:

"Drop your weapon! Surrender!"

"Never!"

Kali spat out a mouthful of blood. He gripped his arm bone and slowly raised it, pointing forward.

The bones of a warrior, forged through countless battles, could channel power more smoothly, sometimes even stronger than a sword. With a firm grip, sword energy was now flickering:

"The one who should surrender is you! I am a level 12 swordsman, what level are you? I saw your face earlier, Garrett Nordmark, you're only an 8th-level mage on the Church's wanted list, right?"

"So what?"

Garrett, having regained his composure, was quickly thinking about how to fight next. Another big fireball was out of the question; at this distance, he would also suffer;

What other strong enough magic could take down a level 12 grand swordsman?

"An 8th-level mage has already beaten you this much! Guess how many more hits you can take?" Garrett raised his voice:

"How many more shields can you break? Flame Shield, Radiant Shield, Fire Wall, Ice Wall, how many can you withstand? This is the Kent Kingdom, my companions are on their way—"

A loud crash. The force field barrier behind him cracked. Garrett turned sharply, only to see the swordsman retreating rapidly, lightning jumping over his body, charring his face, and causing his limbs to twitch.

Ice Wall!

Garrett cast another shield behind him. This time, the hemispherical ice wall endured five or six strikes in quick succession. The Radiant Shield outside, according to Garrett's elemental sensing, had been almost completely destroyed...

This won't work.

Staying defensive won't work, prolonged defense leads to failure; just one heavy hit could be fatal; but if he attacked, if he attacked...

Garrett frowned deeply. His mental power, fully expanded, still couldn't lock onto the swordsman!

Too fast!

Too fast!

Too fast to see, appearing in front one moment, disappearing behind the next, the whole person like a whirlwind, circling around, occasionally thrusting out with a sword. Even when Garrett managed to "see" him with his mental power, the swordsman would dash away...

What to do?

How to hit him?

Garrett reinforced his force field barrier, knelt on one knee, and pressed one hand to the ground. He expanded his mental power, calling to the surrounding forest:

Help me see him!

Show me his location!

Leaves rustled, mountain winds whispered. All of nature was responding to him, pointing out the swordsman's position. Yet the swordsman was still too fast, and Garrett's attempts with lightning bolts, missile storms, and sonic orbs all failed to hit...

Should I use teleportation to create distance, then attack again? But teleportation, shield activation, and then attacking would give him enough time to catch up, right?

What instant-cast spell could finish him off in one go?

Garrett's mind raced. Finally, he gritted his teeth and pulled out a vial, holding it between his fingers:

Forest!

Nature!

Show me his position!

Entangle him, even for just a moment!

The familiar bright spot appeared in his mental power. The barrier trembled, on the verge of breaking, and at that moment, Garrett gripped the vial and cast with all his might:

Potassium chloride!

Go!

At the moment the spell's light burst forth, Kali's body shook, muscles, bones, and organs all in pain, nearly dropping his bone sword.

His legs buckled, almost kneeling, but with his last breath, he retreated. Inside the barrier, Garrett released the vial, unable to hide his disappointment:

What a pity. His mental power still couldn't lock onto the opponent's heart, nor completely break through the natural protection. That last potassium ion infusion had poor results...

What else, what else could kill that guy?
