This is the true essence of the Magic War! The sky and earth are filled with magical effects. Just how much money did the production team invest in this decisive battle?
Magic indeed relies on idealism; only Idealism Magic can truly showcase the enchanting allure of the fantastical.
But it can't be said that way, can it? According to Xu Lie, the things produced by Idealism Magic can also be transformed into tiered magic for use, right?
In essence, Idealism Magic depends on talent and willpower, pushing for the upper limits. In contrast, the tiered system ensures a baseline. From a broader perspective of civilization, it's clear that having a standard like the latter is more suitable. Of course, when watching the show, there's no need to overthink it—just enjoy the special effects!
To the north of Truth School, Xu Lie stood alone, passing time while watching the Danmaku whiz by. At the same time, his vast mental energy spread out like an ocean, subtly enveloping the eastern side of the school to prevent any unexpected incidents from upperclassmen.
When Clift approached quietly with over fifty Evil Mages, he could only see Xu Lie standing there alone.
Just one person?
With such chaos erupting in the east, west, and south—either flames soaring or hurricanes howling—Clift had long abandoned hopes of sneaking into Truth School unnoticed.
Putting himself in their shoes, if he were part of Truth School, he would certainly have arranged personnel for defense in the northern area that hadn’t been attacked.
Yet still, it seemed unreasonable to have only one person stationed there.
Clift and his band of Evil Mages lingered in the shadows, contemplating their next move. Was this mage particularly powerful? Did Truth School have immense confidence and trust in him to leave him alone as a guard?
Or was this mage merely a visible bait? Were there other traps hidden nearby?
There was also a slim possibility that Truth School simply had no one else available; all their mages were engaged in battles to the east, west, and south. The north could only spare one mage for vigilance—not for defense but merely as a lookout.
Of course, Clift quickly dismissed thoughts of Truth School's manpower shortage. The Evil Mages were wicked but not foolish. The number of regular mages far exceeded that of his Evil Mages.
Truth School gathered most of the continent's mages; in terms of numbers, they could easily outnumber Clift’s Evil Mages by more than double—if not more.
Faced with an attack from Evil Mages, no matter how dire their situation was, they wouldn't be so short-handed as to leave just one mage behind.
In other words, either this mage was exceptionally strong or he was just bait.
Determined, Clift immediately signaled to those around him: "You ten, come with me for a surprise attack. You two, block all his escape routes. The rest of you prepare your magic. If this guy is just bait, then when we strike, the ambush from Truth School will definitely make their move. At that time, hit those ambushers hard. Heh, if he’s not just bait, then focus your fire and take this bold guy down in one go."
I must say, the plan was quite thorough—if there weren’t any spectators.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the leader of the Evil Mages, always lacking in taste, even needing to call so many subordinates for a surprise attack."
"Xu Lie, be careful! Don’t let this bunch of Evil Mages steal the spotlight! The production team better not pull any tricks."
"This guy left a deep impression on me; he even said he would target the students of Truth School to disrupt their teachers. But I guess he didn’t expect that when the students of Truth School meet him, it’ll be over in an instant!"
"Too bad Clift isn’t on the eastern battlefield; otherwise, I’d love to see his face after getting beaten up."
Xu Lie felt amused. In truth, he didn’t need the audience's reminders; with his level of skill, it was a complete domination.
He had already noticed Clift lurking in ambush; he simply chose not to strike first for the sake of dramatic effect and to boost his personal ratings. Taking out Clift and his crew without them realizing it would surely delight the audience.
