Chapter 26: The Time for Lan Chi's Move Has Come
rand and spacious Baroque dining table took pride of place. Silver candelabras gleamed under the flickering flames, while on either side of the table stood twelve intricately carved, brown oak chairs,...Chapter 26: Lanqi's time to act has arrived.
In the artificial world of shadows. 【Remember our website domain】
A strong gust of wind swept in from the distant grassland, bringing with it swirling clouds. Gradually, thick layers of clouds drifted across the sky, like a massive white curtain obscuring the sea of heavens.
The atmosphere on the prairie instantly became tense, as if even the plants could sense the coming storm.
The surprise attack failed, and as Huberlian landed once more, a thread of magic, like spider silk, formed in her hand. It snagged the scorpion dagger that had fallen far away and pulled it back into her grasp instantly.
This once again cast a shadow over Ferat's expression from afar.
Does he have any small, instantaneous spells that require no chanting
But not that many.
There is still a cooling time.
If you don't carefully observe Huberleyan and Ranch's movements and give them a decisive blow, they might drag you into a deadlock.
For the examinee.
As long as you can keep going for 30 minutes.
Same qualifying conditions.
The wind grew stronger, like an invisible giant hand waving wildly across the prairie.
A sea of green grass rippled in the wind, forming waves that resembled a wild green ocean. Weeds danced in the breeze, rustling like the sound of ocean tides.
Her slender frame shimmered on the prairie, her body taut, her center of gravity low. Amidst the rustling grass, she resembled a venomous snake poised to strike again at any moment.
She could always, at any time, choose to once again wield the weapon in her hand as a throwing implement.
Feyre knew this was a family heirloom from the House of Velaris.
Now it rests in Huberly's hands, becoming her primary weapon.
But he had never imagined that one day this weapon would threaten him.
High-quality magic cards, even those of low rank, are indeed a bit troublesome.
……
Meanwhile.
In the center of the Sage's Hall meeting room, the magical screen also displayed the attributes of this weapon that could be brought into the Shadow Realm.
Hellfire Scorpion Tail
Category: Equipment Card
[Grade: Pink Sacred]
Class: 3
【Effect: Attacks have a chance to inflict poison, bleed, paralysis, and reduced healing status effects. Consumes mana to recall the weapon from afar, cooldown 3 seconds. Can dispel poison on yourself, extract toxins from targets, and apply them to the weapon, cooldown 120 seconds. 】
Note: From the hellscape of Demonic Purgatory, a scorpion tail.
In the absence of a challenge to the Shadow Realm, those who possessed magic cards of rare rank or above were almost exclusively members of noble families.
"New students have pink sacred cards, and they are sacred magic card decks that match their own. It's rare to see this in several schools across South Continent."
The teachers in the conference room looked at Huberlian's weapon in their hands, discussing it seriously.
Cards of this quality are always highly sought after.
Even many teachers use only purple rare cards as their main force.
High-quality magic cards can only be obtained by achieving extraordinary feats in the real Shadow World.
Either a card maker miraculously completed it by chance.
Or perhaps, they are ancient playing cards that have passed down through history without ever fading away with their owners.
Huberlian possesses both immense strength and magical power, but her mental and physical stamina are poor. This means she cannot cast spells in large quantities and is extremely fragile. Therefore, she has opted to transform all of her magic into physical enhancements for combat.
Besides this weapon, invisibility spells, and a save card, Hyberlian's other cards are almost entirely body enhancement spells. In essence, she is an assassin.
Just now, Huberlian almost got it.
"It's not a little bit different, Ferrate's combat experience and perception determine that she is still far from threatening Ferrate."
Teachers from different groups at different round tables have been engaged in pedagogical research since the beginning.
"Actually, she would be better suited to a support mage who specializes in buffs rather than a specialized healing white mage."
Vice Dean Ron, sitting at the head of the conference table, tapped his fingers lightly against the surface and said in a low voice.
Obviously, a glass cannon like Huberlian doesn't need much healing as it isn't a tank.
Even if Lance were a summoner, it would be better because many summons have team-wide aura buffs.
Generally, within the same tier of magic cards.
The mana cost of 《Summon Cards》 is the highest, 《Spell Cards》 have a range, while 《Equipment Cards》 usually have lower mana costs.
This is also the reason why equipment cards are the most popular at the Knight's Academy.
And Lance's high spirit brings a high magic power upper limit, enough to support him using a large number of summons.
Even though the summoned creatures he calls forth might have poor overall stats due to his low magical power, having a whole squad of summoned creatures with auras that assist teammates is still a decent job choice.
Obviously, Huberleyan needs such an assistant right now.
"Yes, it's a pity."
"Check the remaining slots in Lancy's deck to see if there are any key spells or summons that could decide the outcome."
All the teachers in the meeting room nodded in agreement when they heard the vice president, Ron's, evaluation.
They didn't expect much from Lance, he also had high-quality singles like Huberlian. But they believed that Lance must have high-powered spell cards or summon cards, otherwise his high spirit and high mana limit attribute would be wasted.
Many wise teachers.
Actually, what is hoped now is that Huberli and Ranch can get admitted.
Because these two new recruits have demonstrated sufficient qualities in extremely harsh field tests.
Under normal circumstances, we should be treated to a thrilling chase. Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate!
However.
They still lack many pieces needed to reach victory against Ferla at the fifth stage, even if they want to defeat him directly.
Actually, many teachers are well aware of Huber's background.
It's not just them.
The situation of today's entrance exam.
...has also attracted the attention of some powerful figures in certain kingdoms.
Even with Hubert's abilities sealed, it would be impossible for him to defeat Feralte.
Want to win.
The only chance of victory lies in the uncertain factor, Lynch!
He is the one who needs to create opportunities for Huberlians.
The key is that, besides the abundant healing magic on Lance's person, what else are the two or three remaining slots filled with besides the Silence spell [Friendly Communication]
After Lanchi took out 【Friendly Communication】.
The teachers in the conference room awaited Lance, ready to witness his true capabilities!
……
The Expanse of Ilven in the Realm of Artificiality.
In mid-air, Ferrat stood like a god, his expression cold and piercing as he gazed upon the surroundings.
He needs to focus most of his attention on Huberly, who is closer and more dangerous.
Not only should you always be aware of when Huberlian will leave another decoy behind and enter an invisible state to deliver a fatal blow, but you also need to be wary of what Lancy might do if they make a move from afar.
What bothered Ferrat was...
The ranch in the distance still seemed calm and collected, as if it were oblivious to the impending danger.
Mingming should be the challenger.
While being the examiner and absolute powerhouse, Ferrat was the one being challenged.
From the exam to now, the state of mind between the two parties has gradually given Ferat a question —
Who is challenging whom
Regardless of whether Lance is truly confident or just putting on a show, this kind of person infuriates Ferat!
