When a person is gripped by fear, they lose their will to fight; the more severe the fear, the more likely they become paralyzed and unable to move. This Dark Magic is a lethal blow even to a Common Mage. With Idealism Magic, once fear takes hold, many spells become difficult to cast.
As Shi Feng's blade approached, Mai Zhe's Magic Shield had long been worn down by the Firebird, leaving him defenseless. He pulled out a skull and infused it with magic. Hundreds of human skulls materialized in the air, some bracing against the wind blades while others, more cruel and cunning, opened their mouths to shatter the blades.
Suddenly, a burst of fire surged through the skulls, catching Mai Zhe off guard just as he had been feeling self-satisfied moments before. The flames rode the wind, intensifying their force. Mai Zhe was struck directly by the searing flames, but fortunately, the blood-red crystal embedded in his left hand shattered just in time, creating an urgent blood-colored barrier that absorbed the fire.
Otherwise, he would have been roasted alive.
"Wow! This magic effect is incredibly detailed and realistic!"
"Those Firebirds look just like the real thing! Each one has different feather patterns. Has the production team really gone this far for a simple spell?"
"Impressive!"
How could this be? Mai Zhe barely had time to lament the loss of his Magic Item as he stared incredulously at Charles, who was still on the move. His mind buzzed with endless questions: Why was this person unharmed? What happened to his Silent Fear? It had clearly hit Charles! Where was his fear? Was he not afraid?!
How could he still run and cast spells? This defied logic!
Unbeknownst to him, Charles merely appeared human; internally, he was composed entirely of electronic components and synthetic muscles, lacking a biological brain. He possessed only a Core Crystal that handled daily functions and operational tasks. Silent Fear worked wonders on humans but had no effect on something like a rock.
Charles was just that—essentially a Bionic Person, designed specifically to counter those Evil Mages who manipulated human emotions.
In the heat of battle, Charles had no interest in explaining his abilities to his opponent nor would he hold back. Seizing the moment while Mai Zhe was distracted with questions, he quickly conjured flames in his left hand and summoned winds with his right, unleashing a torrent of fire and wind upon Mai Zhe.
Before Mai Zhe could react or shake off his disbelief, the crystal on the back of his right hand shattered as well, forcing him to raise another blood-colored barrier. After losing two Magic Items in quick succession, the sting of loss finally snapped Mai Zhe back to reality—frustrated and furious but too wary to linger any longer.
A flurry of spells was hurled toward Charles as he took a few large steps back, preparing to leap onto a boat for escape. However, his emotional magic was elusive and almost inaudible; yet when it encountered Charles, it felt like a gentle breeze brushing against his face, leaving no impact whatsoever.
Seeing Mai Zhe about to flee, Charles disregarded everything else. Without any visible movement, an invisible gust of wind formed into a binding rope. In an instant, it ensnared Mai Zhe from afar, wrapping him up tightly.
In battles between mages, unless one side possessed overwhelming strength—like Xu Lie, who had once unleashed a brilliant sun to instantly obliterate the Evil Mage from a distance—the fight was not merely about exchanging elemental attacks. It was a contest of who would make a mistake first and who could catch the other off guard.
A subtle wind binding spell had completely extinguished any hope of escape for Mai Zhe. The earlier exchanges of wind and fire were less about combat and more about Charles testing the waters, hoping to draw out some of Mai Zhe's hidden cards.
In the end, all Mai Zhe had were two crimson crystals, which were merely one-time life-saving items with no offensive capability. Charles decided it was not worth his time to linger any longer.
First came an invisible wind that pinned him down. The next moment, a dual gust filled his ears with an overwhelming force and a sudden change in temperature. A massive hurricane funneled into his small ears, the deafening noise causing Mai Zhe intense pain and rendering him unable to cast any spells.
The damage to his eardrums, combined with the temperature fluctuations caused by Charles's fire control, created such extreme changes that his eardrums vibrated violently. Ultimately, Mai Zhe lost consciousness completely.
