Chapter 17: Special Mysterious Treasure Chest!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“System, where is the Special Mysterious Treasure Chest? Why don’t I see it?” Linley Bart looked around himself but still couldn’t find any traces of the Special Mysterious Treasure Chest.
In the eyes of the others, Linley Bart was simply walking around the stage, occasionally glancing at the ground.
Could there be gold coins on the ground?
His actions were too strange. Even Alice was surprised. She didn’t know what Linley was planning to do.
Was he planning to use some form of magic to break her Ice Domain?
However, there were no waves caused by the magic elements. It did not look like he was going to use any magic. It looked more like he was walking around.
Alice looked at him strangely, but she thought of something instantly.
Was this an illusion?
It was said that spiritual magic spells were good at making illusions, allowing others to see illusions instead of reality.
Could it be…
Alice slowly thought. Had she already been trapped under the spell?
She looked around and examined the audience and Linley Bart, who was walking around.
None of this seemed like an illusion but Linley’s actions were just too abnormal.
He didn’t use any magic, nor did he launch an attack. He was just circling the arena.
It didn’t seem like she was under an illusion spell, and Alice didn’t feel any other forms of spiritual attacks.
If it was not an illusion or a spiritual attack, what kind of magic would it be?
Alice couldn’t figure out what Linley was thinking and thus didn’t dare to act rashly.
The people below the stage were watching with even more curiosity. It was one thing for Linley Bart to be randomly walking around on the stage.
However, Alice also seemed to be cooperating with him. She had only used an Ice Domain Spell to change the environment.
After which, there were no more follow-up actions from her.
This was completely different from what the audience had expected. They had thought that they were going to witness an intense duel, one where spells were constantly being thrown at each other.
Unless they were preparing for another big move? The surrounding audience was very confused.
This included the teachers and the principal. One of the teachers even asked, “What… are they doing?”
The vice-principal was also very confused as to why the two of them had yet to make a move. He seemed to be deep in thought as well. Then, he said, “Perhaps they are still observing each other.”
“But they have been observing each other for way too long already.”
The battle between sorcerers was not as intense and fast as that of the battle between swordsmen. However, every spell had its traces, of which the opponent could make use of it to fight back.
Thus, sorcerers did not need to wait for the opponent to move before he could move after finding the weakness.
Sorcerers had to predict the enemy’s moves and attack first. The latter had to think of a way to deal with the opponent’s magic and use stronger magic to break the opponent’s magic or engage in a pure magic confrontation.
This was how normal sorcerers fought.
No one had ever seen a fight between sorcerers where both the sorcerers merely stood still and rooted at their positions!
This also stunned the people below the arena.
However, this was a battle that ranked in the top ten of the school tournament after all. Those who could not even enter the top ten felt that it was somewhat unfathomable.
Could this be how genius sorcerers battled?
“Hurry up and fight!”
Finally, someone shouted.
“Fight!”
“Why are you two still standing there?”
Quite a number of people were also shouting from below.
Alice, however, did not care about the disturbances from outside the arena. She just continued staring at Linley Bart.
As the other party was a spiritual magic sorcerer, she maintained her mental vigilance at all times, not letting the other party have any opportunities to enter her mind.
One had to know that the key to a spiritual magic sorcerer’s spell was whether or not he could invade the other party’s mental state.
If one relaxed the mind, one would be easily controlled and hallucinated.
Alice had done her homework before the battle. She was known to be a top student.
She was talented in magic theory and magic battles and had never looked down on any opponent.
As a result, Alice was very cautious when facing every opponent. If she did not fully understand the other party’s attack methods, she would keep observing until she found the other party’s weakness and then end the opponent off in one strike!
This was also Alice’s method of victory. As a third-grade sorcerer, she was able to continuously defeat senior sorcerers in the competition and obtain victory because of this.
She was good at analysis and theoretical battles.
Because she had little experience facing spiritual magic sorcerers, she didn’t have much knowledge about fighting them. Thus, Alice felt a little more nervous and was more passive during this duel.
Furthermore, Linley Bart’s actions were especially strange. What was he actually doing?
What was he planning?
Such thoughts had been running through Alice’s mind all along. She even wondered if she’d fallen under an illusion.
But that didn’t seem to be the case.
Could it be a trap?
Or was the other party trying to lure her into attacking first?
Yes, that must be it.
If he doesn’t strike first, I will not strike.
Alice seemed to have made up her mind as she stared at Linley.
Although she hated this man very much, she tried to maintain her cool. The more she looked at his face, the more she thought about how she had been mentally controlled that day in the dormitory.
What had Linley Bart done that day?
1
What did he do to me after he had cast the spell on me?
Did he take anything from my room?’
Why did he want to control me?
As Alice was thinking, she suddenly felt that her mind seemed to be more distracted!
She was enlightened.
Was this his scheme?
It turned out that he was using this method to distract me. He must be trying to attack me while my mental power was empty!
No, I have to concentrate. I can’t relax anymore!
However, Alice still felt that her spiritual force was gradually becoming exhausted and empty. Her forehead was also sweating.
After all, it was impossible for a person to not feel tired after focusing on something for a long time.
Alice felt that her control over magic had dropped. Was this the power of spiritual magic?
How powerful!
It seemed as though those rumors that Linley was a prodigal were all false. This person’s true power was truly terrifying.
Alice became even more focused, watching Linley’s every move.
However, Linley Bart, on the other hand, sighed helplessly.
This was because he had heard the system say.
“The system can’t determine the exact location of the Special Mysterious Treasure Chest. It will only appear after specific actions are made by the host!”
