Chapter 373
"Did this guy get blinded by the rich mana?" Negri tilted his head as he sensed the power that was absorbing his life force.
Mana was a very attractive thing to mages, and the elves who were modified by the Moon Tree even suffered from the Mana Addiction.
This group of mages who had been exposed to a lack of mana for a long time, when they suddenly arrived in an environment rich in mana, although they were able to restrain their mana from becoming restless, they would still experience symptoms such as excitement and a weakening of their logical thinking ability.
To put it simply, the barrier master was intoxicated by the high mana density.
Of course, this degree of 'intoxication' would only make the barrier master act a bit more impulsive and excited, which would actually help him perform better than usual.
"However, this environment is quite suitable" Negri sighed. Inside the barrier, mana was being absorbed into it, while outsiders were being blocked by the barrier, not to mention that there was also a force continuously extracting his life force, essentially helping him give birth …
"Do you need me to give you a good review?" Negri's skin was quickly cracking open as the aura of a new life leaked out.
"What are you saying? Are you begging for mercy? " The barrier master's voice came from the depths of the barrier. He could feel mana converging towards him, the ordinary spells he was casting had become extremely terrifying under the influx of mana.
"I won't give you any chances, die here and become nutrients for the mother's fetus to support my rebirth!" the barrier master mobilized the barrier to amplify his body, then waved his hand to release a beam of light from his hand.
Under the buff of the barrier, even the most ordinary beam of light could become a burst of mana, and because of this qualitative improvement, the barrier master believed that this was his home field.
Whoosh …
Under the effect of the High Sky barrier, the beam of mana wasn't a straight beam of light. If one used their senses to perceive it, they would find that this beam of light was actually a curved line.
The beam of light accurately brushed past 'Negary's' body, causing a strong gust of wind caused by the movement of mana to blow against 'Negary's' body. A part of his skin fell off like a broken piece of porcelain, turning into dust in the wind.
"How could this be?" The ward master was stunned. The surrounding environment was completely under his control. With his perception, when the other party didn't move, his spell actually missed. Was this a joke?
"No, that's not the point right now!" The Spirit Formation master didn't feel too conflicted. Since it had already happened, only an idiot would question the authenticity of the matter. What he needed to think about now was how to deal with this damned guy.
"I was careless before. This time, you definitely won't be able to escape." While saying that, the Ward Master began to gather mana in his hand to cast a spell. At the same time, some words flowed out from his back and wrapped around him in his cloak.
There was something unusual about this Mana Banquet. The followers of the Church of the Seven Gods suddenly joined the banquet, and Archmage Stim suddenly became younger. All these anomalies indicated that this year's Mana Banquet was different from the past.
After all, he was also a top-notch mage, and his strength had increased by several times. He didn't dare to say that he would definitely win, but he was confident that he was one of the strongest among these people.
Reality slapped him in the face and told him that he wasn't the only one who had cheats. At most, he had doubled his mana, but the others had cheats that could reach the heavens.
This calmed the Ward Master down, and he began to view Negri as a powerful enemy. He used his senses like never before to sense Negri's state. However, what surprised him was that Negri seemed to be either alive or dead, and was in a special state.
Mana revolved, and a beam of mana flew towards Negri again. He spread out his perception to feel the changes within the barrier. This time, he wanted to find out why his attack had deviated.
"Barrier — Sky High is a distorted force field created by mana, creating a pseudo-spatial folding phenomenon. Spatial distance is thus under my control." The Ward Master sensed the instant the mana beam shot out, and found that in that instant, a wave of mana was absorbed by Barrier — Life Deprivation.
Because the three enchantments were stacked, the enchantments affected each other. The sudden appearance of the magic power just happened to pour into the place where the enchantments were stacked, causing a short change in the effect of High Sky. It was that short change that distorted the direction of the magic power beam.
"This kind of ability …" Even though he was mentally prepared, the world spiritist couldn't help but feel a strong sense of jealousy. His barrier had to be set up at the right time to insert a strand of Mana to change the effect of Sky High, and the perception required was far beyond imagination. Otherwise, if someone else were to inject Mana into his barrier, his attack would be ineffective, and he would be a failure as a world spiritist.
This kind of perception was far beyond the Ward Master's own. If he had this kind of talent, he wouldn't have chosen to participate in the Mana Banquet. He had always thought of himself as a genius since he was young, and it was always others who were jealous of him. This time, he finally tasted the feeling of being suppressed by someone else.
"Now is not the time to be jealous." The Ward Master inwardly warned himself, focusing his attention on how to deal with Negri. It would be easy to deal with him once he understood how the other party diverted his attack.
Some of the runes in the barrier changed, and the structure of the three-layered barrier changed. Before, the Life Drain Barrier absorbed vitality to supply the two-layered barrier. Now, the Life Drain Barrier absorbed mana from the Mana Fetus to increase the absorption power of the Life Drain Barrier.
"You should be in some kind of state caused by the appearance of the Mana Fetus, half alive and half dead. I will extract all of your vitality, and you will die completely." The Ward Master explained his plan, and then paid more attention to Negri's condition. If something went wrong, he would be ready to use a backup method. The purpose of this Mana Banquet had to be changed.
Before, his goal was to obtain the right to breed the Mana Fetus again, but if he failed, his goal would immediately change to preserving his own life.
"Many thanks …" The surface layer of Negri's body quickly collapsed under the increased Life Deprivation Barrier and turned into ashes. Negri's new body was revealed, and a huge amount of mana surged, invading the Life Deprivation Barrier. Moreover, this vitality seemed to be infectious, and it quickly occupied the ownership of the barrier's characters.
The Ward Master wasn't too surprised. The characters carved on his body lit up and corresponded with the characters on the ground. Those characters, except for the Life Deprivation Barrier, all lit up and returned to the Ward Master's body.
