In a clearing in the woods under the giant redwood tree, the traces of flames burned are commensurate with the frost, and the marks of thunder bursting are superimposed on the broken stone shield, proving that there is a confrontation between elements here.

However, it can be clearly seen that the land in front of Zhou Ming has almost no traces of elements, while the land in front of Erevan has been completely ruined.

This already shows the level of the two's magical attainments.

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: "You have very good attainments in elements, but when it comes to using and controlling elements, you are quite rough and don't know the skills. For example, when you control fire elements, you are absolutely fine..."

He taught Erevan some of the skills of controlling the power of heaven and earth from Zhou Liu Liuxu Gong.

Irivan was stunned for a moment, then listened carefully.

After listening, he looked respectful and said: "I didn't expect you to be a respectable arcanist. I didn't have a good attitude towards you before. I'm really sorry."

This time, his attitude was even higher than before.

In the final analysis, it lies in those three words he said.

Arcanist!

The so-called arcanist refers to a special being among magicians. They study magic, understand its mysteries, and acquire knowledge of magic. Then they will improve or even directly create magic based on this knowledge.

It's like a researcher among magicians.

Arcanists are all magicians, but not every magician will become an arcanist.

However, any magician who wants to progress will eventually become an arcanist.

The reason is also very simple. When the speed of progress slows down and it is difficult to make progress for several years or even decades, any magician will start to study the mysteries of magic and seek the possibility of progress.

During this period, they mastered the knowledge of magic and thus had the ability to transform or even create magic.

In this way, they naturally become arcanists.

Because they understand the mysteries of magic, arcanists can completely modify the magic they perform according to their own habits and hobbies when performing magic.

This kind of magic is naturally more powerful.

For the same fireball technique, ordinary magicians are no match for arcanists.

Ai Ruiwen was still wondering why Zhou Ming's fireball could be fused so easily, but now he understood that it was because the other party was an arcanist and had already understood the mystery of the fireball technique.

As a famous elemental mage, he has actually been studying the mysteries of magic recently, but after all, he is still young, so he has just started on this path, so naturally he is far inferior to Zhou Ming.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about another magic system in the Western fantasy world - witchcraft.

Arcane and magic are essentially the same, but witchcraft is different. Generally speaking, spells that are performed by borrowing power from other things in any way are called witchcraft.

Most users of witchcraft have an object of worship, or communication object, such as heaven and earth, vegetation, gods and ghosts, with whom they communicate and use their power to perform magic. Such people are usually called wizards.

The source of many wizards' power is evil devils, and the reason why these devils lend their power is not pure, which leads to the bad reputation of wizards.

But it would be unfair to think that wizards are all bad.

Strictly speaking, magic performed after borrowing power from gods is also a type of witchcraft.

But no one has ever dared to say that divine magic and the mages who perform it are not good.

Arcana, magic, and witchcraft are all spells in a strict sense, but their use methods and sources are different, which is why they are distinguished.

However, this distinction is only valid in the Western fantasy world. If you switch to the East, this magic system cannot be divided.

Zhou Ming went through the common sense of magic in the Western Fantasy World in his mind, and said: "The world of magic is full of endless mysteries. I am just a newcomer to this world, and I cannot be called an arcanist."

"You are humble." Irevan said.

He hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Lin Lei, in fact, I have been studying the mysteries of magic recently and created a new magic. Could you please give me some advice?"

Oh? This guy actually has a skill?

It is also a heroic unit in a tower defense game. Elidan only has three active skills, but this guy actually has five?

The difference is so big!

"What kind of magic is it? Just try it on me and see."

"Ah? No!"

Irevan immediately refused and said: "I am just creating this magic. After it is used, I can't control it myself. What if..."

"Nothing will happen, so don't worry and come."

Zhou Ming talked hard and finally got Ai Ruiwen to agree to the matter.

He then gathered all kinds of elemental energy, stone, fire, ice, and electricity all condensed together, turning into a sweeping violent wind.

The strong wind appeared purple, with flames burning on the outside, ice freezing on the inside, and lightning bursting out from time to time.

Although the existence of the stone element cannot be seen, Zhou Ming estimates that this element is the key to controlling the fusion of the three forces of fire, ice and electricity without causing a violent collision when the spell is cast, resulting in direct loss of control!

"I call this magic 'Elemental Storm', Master Lin Lei, you must be careful!"

Zhou Mingdao: "Don't worry and come."

"good!"

Ai Ruiwen pushed his hands, and the violent wind formed by various elements in his hands flew out from his hands, and instantly turned into a large tornado two to three meters high, rolling in various elements and hitting Zhou Ming.

During this period, this elemental tornado seemed to absorb the power of various elements in the world, and its size became more and more expanded.

It's just that this speed...

Zhou Ming looked at the elemental tornado that had only advanced for just over ten meters after two or three seconds, and was quite speechless.

At a speed of three to five meters per second, it is estimated that no one can run fast. Even if the target is a weak magician, he can easily dodge it.

However, Zhou Ming soon realized that this magic was not developed to attack single targets, but group targets.

Of course, it is also possible that this serious shortcoming occurs because Irevan's magic was created in a rough draft and has not yet been perfected.

However, since the target is him and the spell has been released, that's enough.

[You are threatened by Erevan’s skill ‘Elemental Storm’, threat level: high! 】

[Skill triggered successfully!]

[You gain the skill ‘Elemental Bombing’, which is limited to ten minutes!]

High level threat?

It is indeed a composite elemental skill that Erevan used by condensing various elements. Compared with the medium threats produced by the previous skills, this skill that can produce high-level threats is indeed more powerful.

And the skill "Elemental Bombing" obtained by Zhou Ming made Zhou Ming's eyes even brighter.

【Elemental bombardment】

Grade:30/33

Elemental bombardment: Consume a large amount of energy to form a barrier, stir up all the elements within the barrier, causing them to violently collide, resulting in an elemental bombardment of all attributes.

Chain bombing: You can lift the barrier immediately before the explosion. The exploding elements will affect similar elements outside the barrier, causing the same violent collision and explosion. This effect can destroy the attack of the elemental bombardment.

The range is greatly increased, but the power will be reduced accordingly.

Elemental rage: When and after the skill is used, the elements within the bombing range will be violent for a period of time, making all skills that harness the power of heaven and earth within the range unusable. The recovery time is determined by the world level and skill effects.

Comments: Art is just... boom!

Not to mention the level limit of level 33, the third effect of this skill, namely 'Elemental Fury', is simply the nemesis of elemental magicians.

To put it more seriously, all skills that utilize the power of heaven and earth will be unavailable for a short period of time after Zhou Ming uses the elemental explosion.

This effect is so good!

It’s almost like a forbidden demon!

Moreover, it is a group-based, extremely large-scale ban on demons!

Of course, this magic is not invincible, let alone reincarnators. Even if you are a reincarnator who specializes in magic, you will definitely learn two-handed martial arts to prevent being unable to resist when someone gets close.

Even pure magicians do not all use the power of heaven and earth to fight with elements.

Not to mention the wizards who borrow the power of gods and ghosts, the summoner directly summons a group of subordinates without using any power of heaven and earth at all.

But wizards and summoners are only a minority in the entire magic system. Most magicians use the power of heaven, earth, and elements to fight.

This skill can restrain most magicians, which is already very good.

Zhou Ming was very satisfied.

So he used a little bit of his real skills.

The five-color radiance circulated and finally gathered in Zhou Ming's hand, turning into a gray aura.

Five Thunder Transformation Hands!

Zhou Ming stretched out his finger, and this gray energy rushed directly into the elemental tornado. There was no need to do too much. He only needed to dissolve all the neutralizing stone elements among the four elements, and the remaining three elements of ice, fire, and electricity

The elements collided on their own, and the elemental tornado that was originally functioning well exploded instantly and disappeared without a trace.

"As expected of an arcanist, Master Lin Lei. Did you just use a mixed elemental spell?"

Erevan had long known in his mind that the elemental storm he had created had obvious weaknesses, and it was a large-scale technique for dealing with large groups of enemies. It would definitely not be effective against a single target.

So he was mentally prepared for the explosion of the elemental tornado.
To be continued...
