At that moment, Benjamin felt relieved.
Although the huge barrier protected the academy, he didn't know what the conditions of the people in the academy were like. But now it seems that most people are safe.
And now, Benjamin no longer has to fight alone.
Large fireballs were summoned by the academy mage, turning the battlefield into a sea of fire. The soldiers were busy dealing with Benjamin in the sky, but were caught off guard and hundreds of people were killed in the flames in an instant.
Suddenly, the musketry battalion and the archery battalion had no choice but to turn around and deal with these mages who rushed out of the academy.
The hail of spears and arrows filled the sky, and the academy mages were definitely unable to dodge, and they didn't seem to want to dodge. Layers of shields were built up, and it took the strength of hundreds of people to block all the attacks from the soldiers, and then used magic to counterattack.
"Dean, don't worry about us, go deal with the Queen!" Wallis shouted with the blessing of magic, "She has our hostage in her hands!"
Benjamin frowned when he heard this.
He was actually caught as a hostage... No wonder the Queen was able to use sound-transmitting wood chips to talk to him.
The accumulated hatred between the two of them is already in a state of doom and gloom, but if he still wants to rescue the hostages, things will become very troublesome.
At this moment, the elemental turbulence below began to grow larger and larger as time went by, almost covering an area of hundreds of square meters, like a huge bowl upside down on the ground. Icol's soldiers also ran around that area, and only the group of mages and the queen stayed inside, using shields to support them.
But Benjamin knew that their chant was almost complete.
Probably not long after the college mage rushed out, accompanied by a loud noise, flames suddenly rose into the sky in the turbulent flow of elements. The high-level magic performed by dozens of people together even broke through the limitations of the elemental turbulence, and in turn swallowed up the turbulence entirely.
Benjamin couldn't help but show a solemn expression.
The mages that Icol has trained over the years... are definitely a strategic force that cannot be underestimated.
Viewed from the sky, large swathes of flames are like red abstract paintings created by God's hand, gathering and spreading on the ground like vines. The turbulent flow of elements was greatly disturbed. Thousands of water magics were calcined into elements as soon as they were condensed, making it difficult to threaten the hundreds of mages among them.
Then, those flames gathered together, as if a small sun appeared above everyone's heads, causing the temperature of the entire town to rise suddenly.
This kind of power, it feels like... it's about to catch up with the forbidden curse, right
Benjamin had no way of knowing. But the next moment, those mages controlled the "red sun" that gathered countless flames and pushed it towards him in the sky.
Seeing this, Benjamin had no choice but to erase the previous string of runes and draw a new one.
"Elemental Command·Defense."
The three strings representing the water element, defense, and affinity are put together to form a new rune sentence. In an instant, Benjamin seemed to turn into a black hole, and the water elements in the sky rushed over crazily, forming a pure elemental wall in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, the red sun hit the water element wall, and strong magic waves spread out, as if forming a spiritual storm. The soldiers and academy mages fighting in the distance could not help but temporarily stop and turned their heads, showing a look of astonishment.
"Oh my god... Dean, do you want to block this attack by yourself?"
Inside the college gate, some students watched this scene and subconsciously sighed.
Master Ikol had also used similar methods to bombard the academy before, but the huge barrier opened by the academy... was not the work of one person, and he also used the newly developed rune theory to be able to block it so calmly.
But now, the dean has to accomplish what their entire college can accomplish alone. Therefore, even if they have seen Benjamin's strength, they still can't help but tremble.
In the end... what kind of magic level is this
Hiding under the protection of countless Icol mages, the Queen could not help but frown, showing a look of surprise.
"He actually resisted? This..."
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, the shocking collision in mid-air continued.
The red sun hit the elemental barrier, blazing flames splashed out and flew around, and the invisible and colorless elemental barrier also changed at this moment.
Ice wall, water wall... Benjamin was the closest, and he could clearly see the strange chemical reactions taking place in those elements under the high temperature. The three states of water appear repeatedly in it, often appearing for less than a second, and then dissipate into elements again, and a small part of the flames that make up the red sun are also offset.
The power of the red sun is very terrifying, and the elemental barrier is also in a precarious state. But it is this subtle transformation inside the barrier, like a layer of soft cotton, that dissipates most of the impact from the fire sun, so the barrier miraculously holds up without breaking.
Seeing this, Benjamin nodded thoughtfully.
Is this the limit of runes
Obviously, the subtle changes inside the barrier are definitely not something he can do. It feels like the elements are desperately trying to find ways and tricks to complete the orders given to them by the runes. If anything, it's like... elemental instinct
Moreover, after the runes are formed, they will form an infinite cycle. The surrounding water elements will continue to replenish the barrier, and the red sun's form is composed of dozens of high-level magic. Its nature determines that it cannot be maintained forever.
"... Trouble."
Therefore, seeing that the barrier in front of Benjamin could not be broken, Ikol's mage was also a little panicked.
This was already one of the strongest bursts they could unleash. In addition, they had been bombarding the academy's barrier before, which consumed a lot of mental energy. If they can't even break through their opponent's defense this time, their chances of winning will become very low.
"Don't worry! Keep attacking! Fight for Icol!" The Queen seemed to still be full of fighting spirit. She waved her right hand and shouted loudly, shocking the wizards beside her.
The mages came to their senses and nodded.
At this moment, the red sun is still advancing, and flames are flying in the sky, like a large fountain square. However, due to the consumption of the elemental barrier, the size of the red sun was only half of what it was before.
Some of the mages in Ikol maintained the red sun, while others started chanting again, brewing a new round of offensive. They seemed to want to catch up with the end of the red sun, and the two groups joined forces to launch the strongest round. Burst attack.
When Benjamin saw this, he snorted coldly.
Do you really think that’s all the strength you have shown
Turning his head, he glanced at the confrontation between the army and the academy mages. The battle over there has obviously entered a fever pitch. Several mages chanted advanced magic and launched an offensive towards the army. A streak of flames swept down and hundreds of people died. But the soldiers did not hesitate and rushed forward one after another. Even ordinary soldiers were holding knives and attacking the shield summoned by the mage.
The balance of victory has not yet tilted to which side, but there is no doubt that the two parties have completely hindered each other.
—This is a good time.
So, Benjamin took a deep breath, breathed out that simple and ancient syllable, and started "The Coming of Water."
