The waves were rolling up large pieces of gravel, causing nearly ten meters high. The young man with black hair stood in front of the huge waves that almost covered the sky, but there was no wave in his heart.
Instead, he remembered a conversation with the kingdom's top genius on the ship when he was heading to New Orway Port:
"What should I do if I feel that I have reached a bottleneck period and want to break through and continue to improve? It's very simple."
"The so-called professional level can only have a chance to make a breakthrough after having a full understanding of your fighting style."
"As for how to understand... either have external forces to help you, such as soaking in the holy pond of the ancient mysterious race, or bathing in the dragon blood and protecting the gods."
“Or…”
The boy, who was nearly ten years younger than him, showed an ordinary but deep smile. The next words made Evans silent for a long time:
"You will know if you die."
At this moment, Evans suddenly felt that this was what Cyril Adrien called "death for death".
Cassandra was screaming in the distance. The noble lady of New Orway Port stood too far, and the sword in her hand could not do anything to face such a loud wave; she was trying to use the magic scroll, but when the magic took effect, he should have been swept away by the waves-
Evans looked straight ahead calmly, lifted the sword in his hand slightly, aiming the sword edge at the huge wave, and a faint golden light covered the blade, like a candlelight in the darkness.
The element he is friendly to is earth.
The reason why mages can exert full combat power in non-affinity element environments is because they have element pools that can make up for the conditional elements that are not available in the current environment.
If you are a earth element mage, you can even wave your hand to build an earth wall at this moment, completely protect yourself behind the earth wall, and then slowly calculate.
But Evans did not have an elemental pool, so he could not create a wall of earth. His body was not strong enough to block the huge waves mixed with gravel; his sword edge was not possible to cut off the huge waves with one sword, and his speed was not enough to support him to escape from the range of the huge waves.
This is indeed in line with what Cyrill calls the "death and death" environment. Evans's mind was completely calm at this moment, analyzing the situation in front of him with unprecedented efficiency.
He closed his eyes gently.
The past scenes appeared one by one like a lantern, and in just over twenty years, he had only dozens of pictures. His eyes swept over the rebellious self in the academy, swept over the self who chose to leave Solconan and flew away, marching through the mercenary group, swept over the self who led the team in the northern border, facing the dead, and finally landed on the ocean, wearing a pirate captain's hat, spitting out smoke rings and crossing his legs.
"My fighting style-"
He realized that he did not seem to be an excellent single-handed player, and he was more accustomed to standing in a team, whether as a follower or as a leader.
He has good luck and can have a group of easy-to-talk subordinates or companions everywhere; perhaps half of his talent is in command ability, at least in decision-making, and there seems to be no major mistakes.
What if all this is "projected" into your own battle?
Gather things you can use to yourself and turn individual battles into team battles...
He suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden light on the sword blade suddenly became several times brighter. With the sound of chanting he spoke, a buzzing sound came from the air:
“resonanz!”
"boom!"
The huge wave fell as scheduled. Cassandra had just pulled open the magic scroll in her hand, but she could only witness this scene with stiffness.
Among the falling water, a thick tentacle several meters long lifted up from the shore, obviously just completing a striking attack: the tentacle was covered with ferocious suction cups like mouths, revealing its sharp teeth, and it was still opening and closing.
The huge waves and the broken shore embankment are all caused by this tentacle; if Evans has a one-percent chance of survival under the huge waves, then this tentacle smooths out the last one-percent together—
"Evans! Evans!"
Kassandra was stunned for a moment, immediately pulled the scroll in her hand away, and the bright flame suddenly condensed in the air, turning into a ball of fierce fireballs, smashing towards the tentacles. The tentacle was forced to twist and slam the fireballs that were smashing at it, and had no time to care about the shore.
Cassandra had already stepped apart and ran to where Evans had stood with all her might. She didn't know what expression she was now, nor did she know what attitude she was towards Evans, but at this moment, the eldest daughter of the Auditorey family had only one thought in her mind:
Whether he is alive or dead, I will see him-
The fireballs were spitting out in the air, and the dense mouths on the tentacles seemed to scream, interfering with everything around with a harsh sound wave. Kassandra covered her ears, but she still felt a splitting headache under the interference of the sound wave.
She could hardly maintain her body balance in this sound, and her body became shaking; she stumbled forward, and when she was almost falling, an arm suddenly stuck out and wrapped around her waist.
“resonanz.”
A steady whisper rang in her ears, and she knew it was the voice from the La Rochelle. As the whisper sounded, she vaguely recognized a collision of stones. Then everything around her suddenly turned dark, and the noisy noise disappeared.
Then, a bright golden light illuminated her surroundings.
The harbor was still around the other second, but at this moment there were rocks around her, building an arched space, which firmly guarded her. She identified that the color of the rocks above her head was the blue-gray stone bricks commonly used in the port pier. It seemed to be a complete piece, with the eagle-head pattern carved on the harbor pavement...
"This...this is-" She looked at the sudden change in surprise until her eyes fell on the origin of the golden light and the person who embraced her: "Evans?! Did you do this?"
The one who embraced her and saved her from the mental torture of the sound wave was naturally Qing Evans.
At this time, La Rochelle's black-haired young man's hair was wet on his forehead, but it did not make him look so embarrassed.
The dark eyes seemed deeper than before. When these eyes were staring at Cassandra, she felt inexplicably unable to bear the other person's gaze.
"It's me," he explained calmly, "I'm very lucky that I've broken through the pro level."
"Professional level..." Cassandra certainly knew what Evans meant, "Then aren't we..."
"I saw that tentacle, and I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to defeat it in such an environment." Evans regretted, "What we see is only a part of him. His body is under the sea. I don't know where it is..."
At this moment, Evans understood that what Cyril Adrien said was really useful - only when there was no other way and there was only a desperate environment, the potential of human beings was stimulated and the possibility of completing a breakthrough was stimulated.
He was also glad that he had a clear position on himself, did not blindly exaggerate his combat power, and was very clear that his own advantages were by no means absolute force of his individual, but as command and auxiliary role in the team.
So, at the moment the waves fell, his clear thoughts pointed out a path for his elemental affinity:
resonance.
In the resonance, he transformed the broken rocks mixed in the waves into his own parts and instantly built a rock fort. If Cassandra could go outside at this time, he would see that they were standing in a small fortress stacked with rocks.
It sounds like the ability of the Earth Elemental Mage, but when Evans actually controls it, he finds that his "resonance" is definitely not so superficial.
"We need to leave the port...it is impossible to contact the fleet by relying solely on us." Evans said calmly.
"But the tentacle outside..." Kassandra looked at the magic scroll in her arms. The scroll had completely dimmed, and it was obvious that the spells engraved on it had been exhausted.
"Although I can't defeat it, it's still easy to escape." Evans let go of Kassandra, pulled her behind him, and then raised the long sword in his hand again.
The ground began to roar.
Cassandra clearly felt the dirt under her feet squirming, as if a giant insect was drilling through her feet. She felt like she was sinking, and the ceiling above her head was getting farther and farther away, which was enough to verify this.
In a blink of an eye, they had already sunk nearly three meters.
“This height is enough.”
Evans raised his sword and walked forward, and at some point a rough cave corridor appeared in front of him.
"This road leads to the exit of Taranto District. We will leave Taranto District directly. You go first, and the corridor can last for a long time."
"What about you?" Cassandra wondered.
Then she saw Evans dancing gently in the air with one hand, and replied calmly: "I have come here. Even if I can't solve it, I have to leave some 'gift' for it - cover my ears."
Cassandra immediately covered her ears, and as Evans finished speaking, the rocks above her head suddenly flew high. They were rotating in the air, gradually turning from irregular shapes into sharp spears, and then they rushed towards the tentacle that was still twisting on the sea.
Without the slightest magical fluctuation, these rock spears appeared out of thin air. The tentacle did not react at all, and they were stabbed by dozens of spears. The sharp spear tips stabbed into the mouths covered with sharp teeth. In an instant, another hoarse scream resounded in the air-
Even though Cassandra had covered her ears, the sound still pried open her eardrums and drilled into her mind. However, Evans immediately waved his hand and filled the vacant head again, isolating the sound waves.
"Is this... your profession-level ability?" Cassandra said smoothly for a while, her eyes full of surprise when she looked at Evans.
"I've just gotten started." Evans was very satisfied with his strength. "Maybe there are more tricks, but I have to study it slowly - OK, hurry up and leave here."
Cassandra felt depressed when she thought of the unknown disaster facing New Orway Port. She nodded silently, and then slowly walked along the corridor opened by Evans toward the exit of Taranto District.
