[0769] The Confidence to Negotiate

Although Karya patiently guided them, for the Great Elementalists who had studied the Primal Axioms from childhood, mastering the ability to analyze magic was little more than a pipe dream. Even if they really could figure out how magic flowed through these grains of sand, they still wouldn't be able to resist the magical sandstorm Karya had summoned.

Their spells would still run wild.

So, once Qiyana realized how serious the problem was, she simply took another path and tried something unconventional.

If changes in the environment made spells go haywire, then she'd just stop using spells altogether!

She'd abandon spell models and attack with the purest form of energy!

What could he do about that?

When Karya saw Qiyana's move, his expression turned rather peculiar.

It wasn't that he hadn't expected Qiyana to react this way. He'd simply seen these "spell barbarians" do this so many times that he'd completely predicted her response.

As expected, she'd gone for brute force.

It was true that changes in the environment had little effect on a pure elemental blast. Pure elemental blasts were also simple to control, so Karya could hardly wrest control of one from her.
