While keeping an eye on the fireballs in the air, Punk also paid more attention to the high priest's actions. He was sure that even if he used some means to stop these fireballs, the opponent would definitely take advantage of that opportunity to launch a large number of attacks to suppress him completely.
But...
"Does he think I'm the kind of fool who charges into a fight without any certainty?"
A fierce light flashed in Punk's indifferent eyes.
In the next second, the effect of the stagnation spell was over.
"Boom!!"
Dozens of fireballs smashed onto the area where Punk was standing. Then with multiple loud sounds of explosions, a large cloud of dust and smoke completely engulfed Punk.
"You ignorant heretic! Now can you feel the fury of the goddess Ti Xiaer?"
Without hesitation, the high priest threw out two more fireballs in succession while shouting crazily. The fireballs, gleaming with a hot orange glow, instantly submerged into the dust cloud.
"Boom!!"
The new explosion tore open the dust and smoke cloud and revealed Punk's figure.
At this moment, a layer of purple-colored energy with many semi-transparent circular runes rotating inside, completely wrapped around Punk, and all of the fireballs used by the high priest were blocked by this energy layer without exception.
It was an Official-level incantation spell, Casa's Kinetic Energy Enchantment, that created an enchanted energy shield requiring continuous mana supply. Composed of a large number of high-speed rotating kinetic energy runes, it possessed strong defensive capabilities against direct attacks. However, the mana consumption was also significant.
"Enchantment? You can't move with this spell, right? Hehe, How long can your mana support this?"
The high priest laughed again when he saw Punk using the enchantment spell. Though he seemed dismissive outwardly, deep down, he was actually shocked.
Although this kind of enchantment spells had disadvantages such as reduced mobility and massive consumption, the 360-degree flawless solid defense still made them popular amongst mages. However, such spells were generally complex and rare; and seeing Punk's young age, the high priest never thought that Punk was this capable.
However, although he became more vigilant in his heart, the high priest did not show anything on his face, and he still kept a crazy and disdainful expression on the outside.
"Take this, and this, and this one... how about it? Hahahahaha..."
The high priest used fireballs to attack the kinetic energy enchantment one after another. He knew that Punk's level was lower than his own, and as the kinetic energy enchantment had much higher mana consumption, so as long as he maintained a frequent attack cycle, all of Punk's mana would be used up in maintaining the kinetic energy barrier, and the other party also wouldn't be able to concentrate on casting spells. And in less than three minutes, victory would be his for sure.
Punk expressionlessly watched as the hot fireballs hit the kinetic energy enchantment. The violent shock wave broke the hard rocky ground, but every single flame that touched the rotating kinetic energy runes was torn to pieces.
Punk remained calm. While it was true that the spell consumed a lot of mana and had a limited duration, normally, someone wouldn't be able to cast other spells while maintaining such a complex enchantment. Yet, Punk had a plan when he decided to use this spell.
At this moment, what made Punk truly uncomfortable was the fact that he was forced to reveal one of his cards so quickly by the enemy.
Punk stared intensely at the high priest's calm and deep eyes hidden behind all the madness. His pupils slowly constricted. The blue brilliance in his eyes almost turned into substance and gushed out.
"You really think you have already won? You look down on me too much."
Punk spoke in a cold tone, raising his right hand to maintain the stability of the enchantment spell while simultaneously performing the hand gestures for a new spell.
Seeing this scene the high priest's laughter trembled suddenly, and his fireball attack speed also slowed down. Although reason told him that no matter how much of a genius Punk was, he should not be able to construct a new spell model while maintaining the enchantment spell, but he still instinctively analyzed the types of spell gesture Punk was performing and also begun to seriously consider a countermeasure.
"Can this kid really cast spells? Judging by his gestures... Is it a 'Major damage spell'? I can't take chances..."
The high priest, recognizing the "major damage spell" from Punk's gestures, didn't hesitate to intensify his attacks.
"Even if you really have the ability to cast spells, if I go all out, your spell will be interrupted for sure!"
This was the high priest's current thinking.
"Worm, perish! Perish! Perish! Be consumed by the wrath of Goddess Ti Xiaer, ha ha ha.
The entire inner room was filled with fire, and huge explosions could be heard continuously as fireballs collided with the kinetic energy barrier. The fragmented flames formed a fire curtain on the ground, which changed its color to hot red. Now, the temperature inside the inner room had reached at least 300 degrees. Even with the protection of the mage armor, the hot air in the room could burn One's lungs.
Because the flame blocked the line of sight, the high priest did not see the sneer at the corner of Punk's mouth.
"Logical caution can be called wisdom, but hasty caution can only be called foolishness. Do you think I'm right?"
Amidst a loud explosion, Punk coldly questioned the high priest. With the keen senses of an official powerhouse, it wasn't difficult to discern words even amid loud noises.
"Not good!"
The pupils of the high priest instantly narrowed, and he quickly slowed down his fireball assault. He immediately realized that he was deceived by Punk's tricks, and Punk never had the ability to double cast spells. So his action of increasing the frequency of the fireballs did nothing but waste his mana.
"So...…"
"The casting gestures were just to distract me!"
At this point, the high priest did not hesitate to stop the spell bombardment, but... it was too late, and a sense of deadly danger suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Do you really think you are a hunter, and I am your prey?"
Punk roared and expressed his frustration at the possibility of being seriously injured at the very beginning of this battle. A total of five kinetic energy bursts formed in midair around Punk and then shot toward the high priest at breakneck speed. These five "kinetic energy bursts" approached the high priest from five different directions, completely blocking his retreat paths.
"Heaaaaaaaaaa!"
At the same time, a firey shadow flashed abruptly, and No. 1 with flames still burning on its body suddenly appeared at the high priest's side, then a scorched boney fist slammed at the high priest's head like a cannonball.
"Now, who is the worm?"
Boom! ! ! ! !
Under the huge force, the solid rock blocks split into pieces in an instant. Chunks of rocks protruded from the ground, and dense cracks spread all the way to the ceiling of the cave room, and the intense shock wave swept everything around.
