Fear can strip a person of their will to fight, and in severe cases, overwhelming terror can leave them paralyzed and unable to move. The Dark Magic unleashed here is a lethal blow even to an Ordinary Mage. With the Mind Magic System, once fear takes hold, many spells become difficult to cast.
At that moment, the wind blades struck. Maizhe's Magic Shield had long been worn down by the Firebird, leaving him defenseless. He pulled out a skull and infused it with magic. In the air, a Human Skull materialized, either absorbing the wind blades or, in a more cruel and cunning manner, biting down and shattering them.
Suddenly, a burst of fire surged forward, swiftly piercing through the Human Skull. Just a moment ago, Maizhe had felt a sense of confidence; now he was caught off guard as the flames rode the wind towards him. The flames struck Maizhe's left hand, shattering the crystalline blood gem on his hand. In a panic, he quickly summoned a layer of crimson barrier to mitigate the fire's impact.
Otherwise, he would have been roasted alive.
"How cool! This magic effect is so detailed and realistic!"
"Tsk tsk, those Firebirds look just like the real thing. Each one has different feather patterns. Has the production team really invested this much? Even a simple spell has such high-quality effects?"
"They must have spent a fortune."
How could this be happening? Maizhe didn't even have time to mourn the loss of his Magic Item as he watched Charles move with unbelievable agility. His mind buzzed with countless questions: Why wasn’t Charles affected? Hadn't his Silent Fear already hit him? Why wasn’t he afraid? How could he still run and cast spells? This defied all logic!
Unbeknownst to him, Charles merely appeared human; in reality, he was composed entirely of electronic components and synthetic muscles, lacking any biological brain. He only had a Core Crystal that handled daily functions and movements. Silent Fear worked wonders on humans but had no effect on an inanimate object like a rock.
Charles was precisely that—an Imitation Human designed to counter those who manipulated human emotions like Evil Mages did.
In this critical moment, Charles had no intention of explaining his abilities or holding back against his opponent. Seizing the opportunity while Maizhe was lost in confusion, he quickly summoned flames in his left hand to control the wind and unleashed a torrent of fire towards Maizhe.
Before Maizhe could react or shake off his disbelief, his hand was struck again; the crystalline blood gem shattered once more as another crimson barrier sprang up in desperation. Having lost two Magic Items in quick succession finally jolted Maizhe back to reality—he was filled with both anger and frustration but dared not linger any longer.
A flurry of spells was hurled toward Charles as Maizhe took a bold step back, preparing to jump onto a boat and escape. However, Charles's emotional magic was elusive and nearly inaudible; when it encountered him, it felt like a gentle breeze, leaving no impact.
Seeing that Maizhe was about to flee, Charles could no longer afford to hesitate. Without any visible movement, an invisible current of wind formed into a binding rope. In an instant, it ensnared Maizhe from afar, wrapping him tightly like a rice dumpling.
In battles between mages, unless one possessed overwhelming raw power—like Xu Lie's dazzling sun that had instantly obliterated the Evil Mage from a distance—combat was not merely about exchanging elemental attacks. Instead, it became a contest of who could outsmart the other and who would make the first mistake.
A subtle Wind Restraint spell stripped Maizhe of any hope of escape. The earlier exchanges of wind and fire were less about combat and more about Charles testing the waters, hoping to draw out some of Maizhe's hidden cards. In the end, Maizhe had only two blood-red crystals on him, which were merely one-time life-saving items with no offensive capability. Charles decided not to waste any more time.
First came an invisible Wind Restraint that pinned Maizhe down. The next moment, a barrage of wind filled his ears, accompanied by drastic temperature changes. A massive hurricane funneled into his small ears, the overwhelming noise causing a throbbing headache that rendered Maizhe unable to cast spells.
The damage to his eardrums was compounded by the intense temperature fluctuations caused by Charles's fire control. The extreme changes made his eardrums vibrate violently, and soon enough, Maizhe lost consciousness completely.
