As if he still couldn't believe it, Jack was silent for a while, then hesitantly said, "Master Benjamin, I...can I ask what kind of magic this is?"
Benjamin hesitated for a moment, then told the truth.
"It's water polo."
“…”
After hearing this, the expression on Jack's face was as if he had just bought a new pair of shoes and stepped on dog poop for the first time on the road. The aggrieved look on his face was really indescribable.
Benjamin had to walk over and say something like, "Don't worry, I will definitely report your name to the Mercenary Association" to make the other person feel better.
"... I did have a hand, but I lost." Gradually, Jack recovered, shook his head, and said, "Tell me what spell you want, and I'll give it to you in exchange."
Benjamin also took out a silver coin from his pocket and handed it over: "Intermediate magic, anything will do."
Jack sighed, and finally used the spell of the earth armor to give it to Benjamin.
In this way, in the competition that took place at the same time, Benjamin ended the battle as quickly as possible. Even the servant who was the referee on the side couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
Back among the crowd, the other mages of the "Viper" mercenary team looked at Benjamin in a completely different way.
"How did you do it?" one person couldn't help but ask.
Benjamin didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and shrug. But seeing this look in their eyes, it suddenly became mysterious.
Jack walked over and whispered something to one of his companions. Then, the mage's eyes lit up, he stepped forward and said to Benjamin: "This is interesting, I want to challenge you too, is that okay?"
Naturally, Benjamin would not refuse and nodded.
This was only the first game. How could he stop after harvesting just one spell? Of course you have to make a fortune.
Obviously, Jack's whisper just now was revealing Benjamin's tricks. And judging from the confident look of this mage, perhaps they have found a way to crack the forbidden magic water polo.
Benjamin isn't worried, though.
"Remember to replace the magic that can isolate the elements." Before entering the barbed wire, Jack seemed to have thought of something and patted the mage on the shoulder again.
Benjamin could only shake his head helplessly.
… So confident
Moreover, did Jack still think that "it's water polo skills" was just perfunctory? Well, to be honest, if Benjamin was in the opponent's position, saying a "water polo trick" would feel no different from ridicule.
—It’s still that kind of instant-kill taunt.
It’s no wonder that after the competition, most of Jack’s friendly attitude toward him disappeared, and his favorability was estimated to be -50.
After reporting again to the servant in charge of statistics, the two came to another vacant venue. Looking at other venues around him, most of the mages were still fighting each other, and even the first battle was not over yet. Benjamin couldn't help but think about whether he would be the one with the most victories and win the "half-year, half-price" reward.
Is it too high-profile
… No matter, we’ll talk about it later.
With Jack's past experience, the mage obviously had no intention of underestimating the enemy. As soon as he stood in position, he chanted a spell, hoping to strike first.
When Benjamin saw this, of course he would not underestimate the enemy, so he recited a spell.
Because he only knows these three entry-level magics, and his casting speed is super fast. Therefore, even if chanting the spell slows down the opponent, he can still use the magic before the opponent.
But this time, he didn't use water polo.
As the water vapor surged, Benjamin concentrated them, adjusted the structure of the water element, and restored this magic to its more primitive use—using its temperature to burn people. Although it is completely incomparable to fire magic, with relatively high temperature and strong impact, the water vapor rushes straight through.
At the same time, the other party's spell was completed.
With the surge of wind elements, the mage suddenly flew up - he did not choose to resist head-on, but increased his speed and kept flying in mid-air to avoid Benjamin's attack.
Seeing this, Benjamin shook his head.
Is this how they cracked the forbidden water polo
By moving at high speed, avoiding the incoming water and preventing the forbidden water ball from forming, they will naturally not be silenced. Hmm... It's a beautiful thought. If Benjamin only has one trick, he really can't think of any way to deal with it.
Unfortunately, Benjamin doesn't have only one trick.
After taking a look at the mage flying in mid-air, Benjamin used several more pillars of steam. Then, he manipulated the water vapor, causing them to disperse suddenly, as if setting off a miniature storm that spread out with Benjamin as the center.
Being in the crazy air current, the mage's flying speed suddenly slowed down greatly.
"You can actually use the storm technique..." His face also became a little ugly.
Hearing this, Benjamin could only shake his head.
How weak do these people think of themselves? Do you really think that apart from foul tricks like forbidden magic water polo and using your strength and strength, you really can't beat others
Thinking that you have found a way to crack it, you rush to challenge it, but you are really losing your mind.
Thinking like this, before the mage in the air started to fight back, Benjamin controlled the water vapor blowing around, changed the direction, and rushed towards the mage in the air.
At this time, the wind force felt by the mage increased several times. Therefore, he could not maintain his balance just by relying on flying skills.
Like a roller coaster, the strong air flow rolled up, and the mage could not resist. He could only fly up and down according to Benjamin's thoughts, like a gymnast, constantly completing various difficult flips. In this situation, he couldn't even control his flying skills, let alone use new magic.
It's already like this, no matter how powerful the magic is, he still can't use it. In other words, this state seems to be no different from being trapped by a forbidden demon water polo.
In short, he was powerless to resist.
Just like that, after being thrown away for a while, he couldn't hold on anymore and screamed in the air.
"I, I surrender! Quick... let me come down... I..."
Hearing this, Benjamin nodded with satisfaction, controlled the water vapor, and slowly lowered the poor mage down. As soon as he landed, the mage lay on the ground, vomited, and looked at the servant who was the referee next to him with strange eyes.
"are you OK?"
After thinking about it, Benjamin summoned a healing water ball and treated the mage, allowing him to slowly recover. However, when he stood up and looked up at Benjamin, Benjamin was a little surprised to find that this man was actually looking at him with a fearful look, as if...looking at another creature, or some kind of murderer. of.
Seeing this, Benjamin scratched the back of his head innocently.
Are you that terrible
Shaking his head, he walked over, smiled and patted the other party's shoulder, and said: "Don't be discouraged, your boss has lost, it's normal for you to lose too. Okay, everyone can afford to lose, any mid-level person Magic, just give it to me."
The mage looked at him, seeming a little desperate.
Just like that, another spell of the Phantom Body of Wind was captured by Benjamin.
Under Jack's stunned gaze, a smiling Benjamin and a dejected mage walked over and returned to the crowd.
The venue where the two competed was a bit far away. During the whole process, the "Viper" mercenary group stood here and could only see their companions flying up in the venue. They flew normally for a while and then flew like crazy. After a while, he lost. Therefore, they all looked confused.
But the results speak for themselves, don’t they
They lost again.
Facing the different looks from the "Viper" mercenary group, Benjamin patted the shoulders of the two losers encouragingly, and then turned his attention to the other members of the mercenary group.
His eyes were full of anticipation, and he spoke slightly excitedly, "Who else?"
