The characteristic of the "time stop" spell is a gem pocket watch.

Many spells require the use of certain materials as catalysts, and time stop is no exception. The catalyst it requires, in addition to the gems used in many high-level spells, is also a clock that keeps accurate time - the specific shape and size doesn't matter, as long as it keeps accurate time.

In order to facilitate spell casting, mages often use special pocket watches. This kind of pocket watch is inlaid with many gems, and the time is very accurate, which can fully meet the needs of magic.

Among the known spells, this spell-casting material is unique, so once you see a mage taking out a gem pocket watch during a battle, you will probably cast this spell.

In fact, as long as it can meet the two requirements of "accurate timing" and "a variety of gems", the casting material of this spell does not necessarily need to be a gem pocket watch. For example, some ancient spellcasters like to use gem hourglasses as the casting material for this spell. Thinking about it from another angle, a gemstone celestial globe should also work. There are many similar things.

However, gemstone pocket watches remain the material of choice. First, the pocket watch itself is a good decoration, and it is very convenient to use for timekeeping. Secondly, among various more convenient materials, it is the cheapest - although each gemstone pocket watch costs more than two thousand gold coins, which is enough for A low-level mage went bankrupt.

Lei drew his sword and rushed out. He didn't dare to delay at all, he just hoped that he could be fast enough to hit the target before the opponent completed the spell.

But he was still slow after all.

When his sword had just been unsheathed, the pocket watch in Kahn's hand made a "click" sound and stopped.

The moment the pocket watch stopped, everything in the box lost its color and turned into monotonous black and white patterns. Only Kahn, holding the stagnant pocket watch, still maintained normal color, proving that he was independent of time at this moment.

At this time, the distance between Lei and him was less than two meters.

Kahn nodded to Lei with some admiration. He guessed that the swordsman had probably come into contact with a high-level mage, or even a legendary master. There were not many people who knew something about the high-end spell "Time Stop". , even among mages.

There are really too few people who can immediately realize what spell he is going to cast when they see him take out his pocket watch, and take action without hesitation!

Perhaps this swordsman is also a person of noble birth, and maybe he is also a descendant of a legendary master. It was just a cruel joke played by fate that he did not inherit the ability to cast spells, right

A little bit worthy of sympathy...

But he will not be merciful because of this. The sympathy between geniuses will not be given to the weak who have been abandoned by fate.

It would be better to say that it might be happier for this poor swordsman to be able to die by his own hands instead of struggling to slowly rot in the quagmire of incompetence.

Kahn raised his right hand, with magical runes woven on his fingers, and a spell was quickly formed.

The air in front of Lei vibrated slightly, and there were several blurs and distortions. These blurs and distortions were not conspicuous, and would be ignored if you were not paying attention.

This is the force field blade, which is improved and upgraded based on the low-level spell "Magic Missile". The level is not high but it is very useful. It does not require materials and is concealed enough. The key is that ordinary physical means cannot resist it. Even enchanted armor will lose its effectiveness in front of it - unless the armor is attached with a rare force field protection. .

In order to avoid affecting your "super speed" state, it is not advisable to make direct contact with the enemy when time is stopped, nor to cast direct attack spells. So Kahn used a special technique to stop the force field blade that was supposed to be shot out in the air.

The force field blade itself is already difficult to resist, let alone the force field blade that is frozen in the air and will not be released until the end of time.

It is conceivable that when time stops and ends, these invisible sharp blades will suddenly appear in front of Lei. They would shoot toward their target quickly, and perhaps be shot before he even noticed them.

The force field blade is sharper and more terrifying than ordinary throwing knives. If you are shot by it, the wound will be difficult to heal. Even if he could escape the fatal blow with his superb reflexes, the wounds caused by the multiple cuts would completely render him unable to move, and he could only lie on the ground waiting to die from excessive blood loss.

The time stop and the force field blade are supposed to be enough. But Kahn did not stop there. He cast a spell again. This time around him, the air fluctuated rapidly, and the invisible power condensed into sharp swords, protecting him in the middle.

This is a sword barrier, a very effective protective spell.

The spell casting is still not over. Kahn knows very well how long his time stop can last, and he can add about two more spells.

To be honest, using so much energy to solve a group of guys who are making trouble while eating is really a bit of a fuss. But now that he has taken action, he will not hesitate or hold back.

Negligence and carelessness are the mage's enemies. Sufficient preparation and enough caution can always make you invincible.

But at this moment, he saw something beyond his expectation.

The huge floating jellyfish suddenly regained its color, turning from a gray object in black and white state back to its previous green color.

This means that it has also broken away from the shackles of time, stepped outside of time like Kahn, and entered a wonderful state called "time stops".

How can it be! Why does a mere jellyfish have this ability? Could it be that it was actually transformed from a certain master

Kahn was shocked and couldn't help but lose concentration on the spell. The magic power on his right hand that was about to be condensed into runes disintegrated instantly, and he groaned, and blood started to flow from his nose.

Casting a spell is a double-edged sword. If it succeeds, it can hurt the enemy. If it fails, it will hurt yourself.

However...he had not encountered this kind of thing for a long time when he failed to cast a spell and received backlash.

Kahn immediately collected his thoughts, his mood quickly returned to calm, and he began to cast a spell again. This time he was going to cast a "water element extraction". This spell can extract the water from the enemy's body and transform it into a water element controlled by the caster. . Although a strong body can greatly reduce its damage, the more water in the body, the more effective the spell will be.

Jellyfish are large aquatic animals whose body is composed of more than 95% water, which means that its resistance to the extraction of water elements will be very low. And because of its extreme need for water, even if it blocked more than 90% of the damage with its strong body, the remaining 10% would be enough to destroy its body fluid balance and make it lose its combat effectiveness.

All of this is just a fleeting thought. But with just a thought, Kahn had found the most suitable spell and quickly cast it.

Because he had never come into contact with this information, or even considered this situation, he was not sure whether it would be possible to attack in a world where both sides were in a "time stop". However, without even thinking, he directly chose to aim the spell at the big jellyfish and release it.

His intuition told him that in the current situation, it would be absolutely fine to attack directly!

The spell of "Extracting Water Element" turned into a dim gray-white light, hitting Sui Xiong who had just stepped outside of time and had not yet adapted.

The body of the giant jellyfish shook slightly, and a large amount of water was extracted, turning into a ball of surging water. It has a thick torso and human-like arms, but it has no head and a wailing face on its chest. If seen at night, it can scare the faint of heart to death without attacking.

This is the water element, which is barely common among various elemental creatures.

The water element constructed by the spell is only about the height of an ordinary person. It is the weakest among the medium-sized water elements. In terms of combat power, it is probably not even able to defeat Steel who turned into a pig. Of course, it was impossible to break through the limit of time with such a weak power, so it froze immediately after birth, and the blue body instantly lost its color and turned into a gray solid.

But Kahn didn't count on its combat effectiveness. All he hoped for was to draw the water out of Sui Xiong's body.

"The tactic was successful!" When he saw the water element taking shape, he couldn't help but smile.

Counting the time, time is about to expire when it stops. When the time stopped, he immediately launched a follow-up attack on the jellyfish, absolutely not letting it recover!

However, half a minute passed, and the world was still black and white, everything was still frozen, without any change.

"What's going on?!" Kahn was shocked. He had never encountered such a strange thing before.

Time passed bit by bit, at least another ten seconds passed, but the black and white world remained the same.

Kahn looked around with his eyes widened, feeling a little at a loss.

what to do? what to do? what to do!

Just when he was restless, a green tentacle flew over and wrapped around him tightly.

Then the world returned to color and he returned to the normal flow of time.

The green shadow flashed, and Sui Xiong blocked Lei with one tentacle, and blocked the invisible force field blades with another tentacle.

The blade-shaped force field flakes left a series of sad wounds on the tentacles, but they recovered completely in the blink of an eye, without even a drop of blood flowing.

There was another flash of green light, and the newly formed water element was shattered, and all the water was sucked back by Sui Xiong.

After all this happened last night, he smiled and said to Kahn, who was still glazed over, "How was it? How does it feel to stop time?"

"Did you do it?" Kahn's eyes flickered and he asked in surprise.

"I am a god after all. Is it strange to do such a thing?"

Kahn was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"I lost. If you want to fight or kill me, it's up to you."

"There is no need to fight and kill, but I think you, a young man, are too angry and arrogant, which is not good." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "Young people, you can be more arrogant when writing articles, and be more arrogant in your conduct. It’s better to be humble.”

"Words such as modesty are nothing more than masks used by the weak to hide their incompetence."

"So compared to me, are you weak?"

Kahn smiled slightly and said without fear: "The key to strength and weakness lies in the mind. A king may be weak, and a beggar may be strong. A strong mind is the foundation of everything!"

"Is that a beggar with a strong mind a strong man?"

"Beggars don't have strong minds at all. I'm just saying it casually." Kahn shook his head. "People with strong minds should of course work hard to make progress. So they must always be in the pursuit of success, and temporarily lose their temper after success. While resting. How can a decadent beggar have a strong mind!"

"Then do you think I'm strong?"

"You don't have a mind that overlooks everything. Even if you are a god, you have no chance of being powerful." Kahn said decisively.

On issues of principle, he would not give in even when faced with gods.
