Boiling Beast Bloodline-Chapter 1268 - 350: Where Decay Reveals Wonder_2

"Ibrahim, let me handle this!" Master Puskas called out to the Seven-Colored Dragon.

"How can that be! Master, you’ve just released a ’Forbidden Magic Domain’..." The Seven-Colored Dragon Ibrahim’s words were not yet finished when Master Stefano and Master Aymar rushed to speak, "Teacher! It wouldn’t be fitting for us to stand back and let you take the stage... I’ll go..."

"Let me do it! Only the Holy Vatican Dragon Knight is the most suitable to stand in for Master Puskas!" Dragon Knight Lampard stepped forward with righteousness in his words.

"I’ll go!"

"It should be me!"

"Damn it! I was also once a Saint Chiao! Who dares to vie with me?" Liu Zhenhan brandished his Ancient Power Fire Gun in a flurry, adding to the commotion for show; he knew well that everyone cared about him, aware that he had lost a vast amount of Elemental Power, they wouldn’t let him take action, but now was the perfect time to show his valor, how could he shrink back!

"Stop messing around, it’s my turn!" Master Puskas pushed up his greasy, pointed mage’s hat and smiled kindly, "Could it be you’re waiting for this old bag of bones to get down on his knees and beg?"

Of course, nobody dared to accept such a supplication from a Saint Chiao Master, and a Saint Level Mage is not the kind to seek the limelight out of vanity, so since Master Puskas said so, the others no longer persisted.

"It’s my honor to confront you!" Facing a Saint Chiao of the Aegean, even a seasoned Imam would not dare to be negligent; Master Manali respectfully bowed to his senior.

This once confident Imam’s heart suddenly tightened, though he had heard that once a Saint Chiao Mage casts a ’Forbidden Magic Domain,’ it would exhaust all their Magic Power, Master Manali now felt somewhat uneasy; the opponent’s composure and confidence left him breathless, after all, the Magic Scrolls of the Aegean Continent were very formidable, just a spark of Magical Power could summon powerful spells.

"This is also my honor." Master Puskas nodded with a smile.

"When I cast my magic, it might take a bit longer, so please delay your attack a little," the Imam, Manali, shamelessly pleaded, which instantly brought Liu Zhenhan into a fit of boisterous jeers; even a fool knew the longer the incantation of Magic Spells, the stronger their power, this fellow didn’t bring a single follower to protect himself, and now he had the cheek to say such a thing!

"No problem!" Master Puskas nodded generously, gesturing with his hand to begin.

Behind the Imam, a massive, shadowy figure silently appeared, obviously stemming from an Otherworldly creature; its face was unclear, standing at least two and a half meters tall, with layers of massive muscles piled upon one another, its back sporting fragmentary flesh wings, a twisted huge horn growing upon its head, each hand gripping a broad and pitch-black curved sword, the black gaze as deep as Hell itself.

Master Manali introduced his shadowy guardian to Master Puskas, "This is my Shadow Guard, a powerful creature from the Chaotic World known as the ’Sliding Knife Horned Demon.’ The combat power of this Shadow Guard can reach half of its original body. Having it assist me, you don’t mind, do you?"

"I don’t mind at all!" Master Puskas hadn’t seen such an Otherworldly Magical Beast before and casually complimented, "Master Manali, our bout is about magic, and as the product of your magical summoning, you certainly have the right to use it."

Under the sunlight, the vastly disparate groups face off upon the long imperial road; the Imam only had himself and his shadow, while behind Master Puskas stood an imposing team of over five hundred people, which seemed rather comical.

The Imam fixed his gaze into Master Puskas’s eyes, starting to murmur with his lips, chanting out a spell as soft as a flute’s sound, paired with his hand gestures, this lengthy incantation of Magic Spells subtly echoed through the air.

Master Puskas remained calm, while the others’ eyes bulged, as if about to pop out of their sockets, witnessing the confrontation between two of the mightiest mages, it truly was an extraordinary sight.

Master Puskas remained still, neither chanting spells nor reaching for a Magic Scroll.

Imam’s magic incantation was drawing to a close, and a strong confidence began to appear in his eyes.

The result of this exchange of skills was immediately apparent.

Master Saint Chiao was only slightly more powerful than the Imam-----------With just a flick of his finger, Master Puskas had defeated the Imam.

"Dioxygen Shield"!

This was an apprentice-level spell within Qi Magic, and its creator was none other than Master Puskas.

This magic did not consume much magical power, since the carbon dioxide in nature was so abundant, it did not require a high level of elemental power to gather in large amounts. Therefore, the spell could be used even by an average Qi Apprentice Mage, or even a Magic Apprentice.

The spell created a layer of carbon dioxide gas around the shield’s exterior, enveloping the mage to specifically counter fire-based magic attacks. As everyone knows, the combustion of fire, whether in its natural state or as magic, is limited by the need for air; any flame that comes into contact with this layer of carbon dioxide gas will be extinguished.

As the leader of the four primary types of magic, the Qi Magic spell "Dioxygen Shield" was a true fire-immune shield, but if the level of the flame magic was too high, this shield would only last one use and was a short-lived shield.

Moreover, the gas layer shield was useless against other types of magic attacks----------it was nothing more than a thick layer of carbon dioxide gas, barely distinguishable from air, and it would be absurd to expect it to serve a defensive purpose.

So this magic had become a superfluous spell in critical moments that could save lives but was unreliable in ordinary times; during official adventures and combat, no Qi Mage would likely rely on this beginner-level spell.

Who would have thought that this spell shield, which should have protected himself, turned out to be the ultimate move that Master Puskas used to defeat the Imam! The Imam’s shadow guard did indeed possess exceptional power, carrying an abundance of frost magical power in its blade strike, but it could not withstand this magical shield that only defended against fire-based spells, ignoring all other magic!

Seeing Master Manali’s sudden interruption of his magic chanting within the "Dioxygen Shield," with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, everyone was dumbfounded.

With a snap of his fingers, Master Puskas shot out a stout flame arrow, turning the "Dioxygen Shield" into nothing but bubbles, leaving the Imam with a stupid look on his face, gazing blankly at Master Puskas.

"What a ’Dioxygen Shield’!" Master Stefano, the lead court mage of the Francisco Empire, said admiringly, "Teacher, I must say, your control over magic has surpassed my narrow level of thinking."

"Teacher, your ability to use magic has truly reached a level of mystical perfection," Master Aymar nodded in agreement.

Liu was beside himself with astonishment, stuttering for a long while without making any coherent statement.

This "Carbon Dioxide Shield" spell was supposed to create a layer of carbon dioxide gas barrier around the shield to defend against flame magic attacks, but Master Puskas clearly filled it up, bringing it down over the Imam’s body!

It was clear to everyone that the Imam’s magic chanting had just reached the final stages, with an Otherworld Magical Beast serving as a shadow guard. It seemed highly unlikely that his spell would be interrupted, yet it had indeed been interrupted, and the Imam was almost subjected to an elemental backlash!

It wasn’t the enriched layer of dioxygen that struck the Imam, but in the moment the Imam took a breath to start chanting, the "Dioxygen Shield" enveloped him, causing Master Manali to inhale a serious lungful of carbon dioxide gas! Any mage who inadvertently inhales a disorienting gas just as they are completing a spell will have their incantation interrupted and will experience adverse effects due to elemental disruption------------judging by the intensity of the backlash, the Imam seemed to be preparing not an offensive spell, but if it had been a powerful offensive spell, that backlash would have cost him his life already.
