Listening to the system's words, Benjamin let go of the hand holding the gun.
"What, have you got the results of your research?"
"I can't say there are any results, but his mental power... seems to be a bit similar to mine." The system said hesitantly, "The way this guy builds his mental power is probably the result of imitating the elemental plane. "
Benjamin was a little surprised: "Elemental plane? You mean those mysterious creatures that exist in the pure blue world?"
The system gave an affirmative answer.
At this time, the way Benjamin looked at Spencer became different again.
He thought that the overseas magic system would be completely different from that here, but when the system said this, the two seemed to be connected again. No matter which side, the elemental plane is the source of their power.
How do people overseas observe the elemental plane
Thinking this, Benjamin temporarily suppressed his murderous intention. Isn't the academy currently studying some special applications of runes and spiritual power? As a living specimen, Spencer's mental power has very high research value.
"So... what happened to his flash just now?" After thinking about it, Benjamin asked in his heart.
"Maybe he used his mental power to blind your senses to a certain extent. Even I was blinded." The system explained, "In fact, he did not disappear in place, but just created some illusions. He himself He walked over slowly."
Benjamin was stunned.
No wonder this guy couldn't disappear once he was trapped by the wind ball.
Thinking this way, Spencer became less threatening in his eyes. Therefore, he slightly weakened the power inside the wind ball, allowing the opponent to speak, but not leaving his hands free to counterattack.
At that moment, Spencer opened his eyes. The pressure from the wind ball gradually decreased, and he showed a puzzled expression.
"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"
Benjamin shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, where did you imitate this kind of mental power?"
Suddenly, Spencer's expression changed: "I have no obligation to answer your question."
"Then I have no obligation to save your life." Benjamin snorted, took out his pistol, and pointed it at Spencer, who was trapped in the storm.
When Spencer saw this, he suddenly sneered.
"Kill me. I will make you regret it."
This guy's confident tone surprised Benjamin a little. After thinking about it, Benjamin suddenly realized a problem - guys like this who major in mental power are often extremely difficult to deal with, and may not disappear even after death. It's not like he has never seen undead creatures. If Spencer turns into a ghost, will he become more powerful
Thinking of this, Benjamin put away his pistol again.
"I don't know what your beliefs are like, but... for you, death is not the end, right?" He asked tentatively.
From the subtle changes in Spencer's expression, he found the answer.
it is true…
So, Benjamin increased the wind power without hesitation. Spencer also had a ferocious expression on his face. For a moment, he even looked like he was about to give up his resistance and let himself die directly in the steam.
However, he should also know that this water vapor will not directly cause death. Even if he removed his mental barrier, he would still be half disabled at most, and then be rescued by Benjamin, without any chance of turning into a ghost.
"Come on, now you have enough time to slowly study his mental power." Benjamin said to the system, "I can change the wind pressure at any time to affect the strength of the mental power barrier. What data do you want? No problem.”
The system was silent for a while and sighed sympathetically: "He is so pitiful."
Benjamin smiled: "If you procrastinate any longer, you will become very pitiful."
"... as ordered."
In this way, the system obediently began its research and analysis. Benjamin walked around Spencer, sometimes increasing the wind pressure, sometimes weakening it. Spencer in the wind ball was made to look weird by him, staring at Benjamin with his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he was blocked by the suddenly stronger wind pressure.
—While analyzing the system, Benjamin was also analyzing Spencer’s mental power in his own way.
After thinking for a while, he drew an affinity rune towards the other party.
The moment the runes took shape, it seemed as if they felt some great magnetic force, and they were sucked into the wind ball. Benjamin was a little stunned and could only watch helplessly as a huge rune appeared above Spencer's head.
At that moment, countless elements rushed toward the wind ball like crazy, and the wind ball immediately began to lose control. Not only water elements, but also fire elements, earth elements... rays of light gathered around Spencer. The sight was simply more amazing than a dozen people chanting advanced magic at the same time!
what's the situation
Even the system exclaimed: "What are you doing? Can't you just let me study it for a while?"
Benjamin looked confused.
He... just made the simplest attempt about runes.
In the blink of an eye, the wind ball lost control and exploded with a bang. Benjamin could only summon a large bubble to block Spencer's entire body there, blocking the surging elements and splashing flesh, without injuring anyone else present.
However... Spencer himself had been blown to pieces.
"Congratulations, you can finally see ghosts." The system said in a dissatisfied tone.
Benjamin ignored it, but watched the changes in the big bubble nervously.
Along with a strange fluctuation of mental power, a phantom suddenly emerged from Spencer's broken flesh and blood. As soon as the shadow appeared, the entire palace garden seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. The chill hit him, and Benjamin couldn't help but clenched his fists.
No... Did you really let him get away with it
"Hahahaha! Master Benjamin, this is what you will get for being so smart..."
Spencer's voice sounded a little floating, coming out faintly from the shadow. However, what he didn't expect was that Spencer was inexplicably stuck in the middle of his words.
That's right, stuck. It's not the kind of speech that gets choked up in the middle of a sentence, but when the tape is played to the damaged part, the complete audio suddenly becomes noisy, and then gradually, it is no longer clear what he is saying.
What happened again
After a brief daze, Benjamin immediately noticed the rune above the shadow's head.
The character representing "affability" did not just disappear after blowing up the wind ball and Spencer. Instead, it seemed... as if it was still growing a little bit
"The runes are absorbing his spiritual power!" The system exclaimed again.
Benjamin couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at the scene in front of him that was completely beyond his imagination. Just as the system said, the shadow in the bubble was fading at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the entire spirit body even began to collapse.
Spencer's voice also turned into intermittent screams.
"How could this happen?" Benjamin couldn't help asking.
"... It's not all your fault, how could I know?" the system said angrily.
Just like that, after more than ten seconds, the shadow completely disappeared. All of Spencer's mental power seemed to be sucked into the runes, and he couldn't even feel the slightest breath. Benjamin was stunned for a moment, and then used magic to test every corner around him to confirm that the other party had really disappeared and was not becoming invisible again.
In the entire garden, except for those guys who fainted on the ground, Benjamin was the only one left.
So, he raised his head and his eyes fell on the affinity rune again.
