Chapter 269: Magic Collision

Early the next morning.

It’s nine o’clock Kathmandu time.

All the mages who have registered for the competition have gathered on the floating circular platform.

Banner carries his suitcase and stands with his girlfriend Betty.

Tony, with a pale face, stood beside them, staring at Leon in the air with a vicious look.

And Wanda and Pietro.

They all stood among the mages, facing Leon.

"I won't say much. The purpose of this preliminaries is to select the mages who will participate in the duel. Now, let's start the competition grouping and venue division!"

Leon threw a spherical projection device into the middle of the platform.

Five illusory walls of light suddenly shot out from the five gaps in the device, dividing the platform into five identical parts.

Then huge projections appeared in the sky above the five areas at the same time.

Each projection contains a list of entries, with more than a hundred names.

After the name are the number of defeats, the number of defeats, and the number of assist defeats.

There are more than 800 people registered for this preliminaries.

Leon gave three lives to each person——

Being seriously injured, knocked unconscious, or out of bounds means you are defeated and have one life.

Defeated mages can be healed here at Lyon and then go back into battle again.

There are three chances in total.

"Now, all mages, please find your own battle areas according to the groups in the five lists."

Lyon said, "The final selections for each group will be determined by your performance in the scrimmage."

"You still have ten minutes to rest. The first round of battle is limited to one hour. You can start preparing now!"

The words fell.

A ten-minute countdown appeared on five huge projection screens in the air at the same time.

The mages found their names on the big screen and then entered the battlefield.

"Banner, look! You and I are in the same area, we can join forces!" Wang happily pointed to the projection screen number 2.

Banner scratched his head: "Isn't it a bad idea to join forces? This is a bit unfair."

"You're right, it's not fair, but others are also joining forces." Wang pointed around.

Some mages who are familiar with each other and are assigned to the same area have already stood together.

Of course, they couldn't stand together just to stab each other in the back, they could only be planning to join forces against the enemy.

Although Jarvis had separated the mage combinations most likely to join forces through data analysis when dividing the groups.

But Kamar-Taj is so small that everyone has a dozen or so familiar mages.

For this reason, Jarvis also suggested to Lyon to adopt other game modes.

However, Lyon already knew who would be the final players.

This qualifying round is just a chance for Tony and his team to show their strength to other wizards.

Therefore, it doesn’t really matter what kind of competition system is used in the first round of screening.

"Okay then, let's join forces." Banner and Wang walked into Zone 2 together.

Apart from the two of them, Wanda, Pietro, Tony and Mordo were all placed in a separate division.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The mages were all ready in their respective arenas, with their own 0/0/0 records projected above their heads.

After the countdowns on the five projection screens all switched to red “GO!”

They started at the same time.

I have to say, sometimes battles between mages are pretty simple.

The game begins.

Nearly half of the wizards used Hogwarts magic.

Fainted, petrified, hanging upside down, fluorescent flashing...

Colorful beams of light flew all over the arena, like a group of Jedi Knights throwing lightsabers around.

Then it hit... the remaining half of the mages.

Most of these wizards have not yet mastered the spell magic of Hogwarts.

When the game starts.

Some of them put their hands together, preparing to create scarlet magic belts.

Some were making hand seals and were still stuck in the pre-swing stage of summoning the Holy Sword of Vishanti.

Others soared into the sky wearing magic shoes.

However, they all became living targets.

As soon as the game started, a magic beam directly submerged them, causing them to "die" instantly!

Only a few cautious mages who directly cast the Ring of Raggador or even the Shield of Seraphim were able to block the first wave of attacks.

After being "resurrected" by Leon, the records on the heads of the eliminated mages became 0/1/0.

They were cautious this time, and one hand shook out the Ring of Raggador.

While using the defense ring to block the magic beam, the other hand also casts an energy whip or energy sword.

Only then can the two sides fight back and forth.

Hey, why both sides?

Because all the wizards who use Hogwarts magic unanimously prioritize eliminating those "Muggles" who can't use spells!

Tony is the most outrageous one among them.

He was wearing a long wizard robe, and his mouth seemed to be on accelerator, speaking at his highest possible speed.

He first spent 0.4 seconds to put on a "body armor" for himself.

Then the output started.

Fainting! Quickly imprisoned! Obstacles galore! Collapse of the house and the ground! Shattered to pieces! Invisible strike! Grinning! Burning hot! Hair-growth spell! Antler spell!

Tony used whatever he thought of and beat up anyone he saw.

Be it control spells, combat magic, even mischief magic and transfiguration spells.

He threw it at other people's heads without caring about anything.

Because he can cast three spells per second, no one can keep up with his pace.

He walked forward slowly like a gentleman strolling in the rain.

All the wizards along the way fell under his spell bombardment.

Except that the little mouth was so fast that an afterimage appeared, and the beam of light from the magic wand was almost smoking.

He was simply elegant.

Not a few minutes.

Tony's record became 21/0/3.

And the other side.

The teaming up of Banner and Wang also went smoothly.
