A Mature Mage Should Leave Warriors No Way Out

Ying Yingying had a headache. Suddenly, an idiot appeared and killed the Sea Monster. Changing the plot was profitable, and she often did it. But the problem was that killing the Sea Monster now made no sense. It disrupted the plot. How would the male and female protagonists get to Skull Island?

On the vast ocean, without anyone to guide you, finding a deserted island is no easy task!

She endured the wind and rain on the cruise ship, the cold, icy rain slapping her face haphazardly; now, it was all for nothing.

Russell tucked the trident into his waistband and coldly stared at the bottom of the skirt beneath his black robe, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Of course, that wasn't his focus; what concerned him was the system notification that the goddess's ring was on her.

The person floating above the cruise ship wasn't Supergirl!

The possibility of the ring being stolen is very small. After all, Supergirl is one of the strongest people in the Main God Space. The possibility of her being taken down by a 1.6-meter-tall girl is extremely slim.

But the chances of them being teammates are even slimmer!

Russell had seen Shen Menghan's WeChat Moments and had basically seen all of her teammates' appearances, but he had never seen a 1.6-meter-tall tablet computer before.

As for the name 'Ying Yingying', Russell recalled his impressions of this world but could not find any record of this person ever appearing.

Who are you?

Russell lowered his voice and asked. The other person's attire was very similar to his own, with a black robe and a face shrouded in black mist. He was most likely a magician as well.

"Hmph, you cut off the clues to Skull Island, and you still ask me who I am!" Ying Yingying was furious. "Although the Team Battle has not yet started, there is no benefit in killing you, but I can't just let you go like this. If you have any last words, hurry up, or you will miss your chance."

"You think you can take me on?!" Russell scoffed, his breasts small but his tone arrogant.

Boom!!

A beam of fire descended from the sky, striking Russell squarely in the chest and slamming him against the wall. The beam suddenly amplified in power, exploding with a deafening roar and throwing Russell off balance into the sea.

"You're right, just look at me." Ying Yingying looked down at the boiling sea, and a staff that was two meters long and tall appeared in front of her. The tip of the staff was a triangular blade with two grooves on each side, and a bright magic stone was embedded in the hollow part.

The staff looked quite impressive, but it seemed out of place next to her.

Ying Yingying gripped her staff, held it upside down with one hand, and swung it down, sending out white frost that froze the area where Russell had fallen into the sea into white.

Dark, gloomy clouds hung over the sky, the storm intensified, the black sea roared and surged, and the vast white ice was extremely conspicuous. The biting cold caused the temperature to drop significantly.

Squeak, squeak!

The sound of ice twisting and cracking rang out one after another, the ice surface was covered with cracks, and in the blink of an eye it broke into pieces, and a jet of water gushed up at high speed.

Russell stood on the crest of a wave, holding a Desert Eagle with a light blade in each hand. His deep blue eyes shone brightly beneath his hood as he fired a series of shots, holding both guns horizontally in front of him.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—

Ying Yingying hovered in mid-air, neither dodging nor defending, letting the Mana Bullet hit her. What happened next made Russell stop shooting.

Whether it was a high-penetration rapid-fire bullet or a powerful bullet designed for destruction, all of them vanished upon impact with Ying Yingying, without even damaging the hem of her clothes.

"Combining magic with firearms and using Mana Bullet in battle is a decent attack method, but you've chosen the wrong opponent. I am the bane of mages, and I fear mages the least." Ying Yingying waved her staff, and the magic stone at the tip of the staff suddenly shone brightly, whipping up a hurricane that rushed down.

Rumble!!!

The sea was boiling and surging, and a wall of water shot straight into the sky, blocking the path of the hurricane and protecting Russell behind it.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—

The hurricane was blocked by the wall of water, and dozens of rotating wind blades sliced through the water and burst out.

Russell stomped his foot, causing the water to rise again. After dodging the wind blades, he controlled the water to rush towards Ying Yingying, and then fired the metal Negasonic Teenage Warhead again with Magic Power.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud—

Blue light shot from the muzzle, and the metal Negasonic Teenage Warhead struck Ying Yingying but failed to penetrate. The moment the Negasonic Teenage Warhead touched the black robe, the Magic Power enveloping it collapsed, and the metal Negasonic Teenage Warhead, as if hitting a hard object, exploded into sparks and fell into the sea.

That black robe is strange; it's a magical artifact!

Russell narrowed his eyes, judging that his opponent was fully equipped, making it difficult for both magic and physical attacks to be effective.

"System, activate the two lottery draws she triggered!"

[Skill Card: Matrix Forging (Rearranges elemental arrays to decompose and recreate objects; an extremely sophisticated form of alchemy)]

[Skill Card: Blade Storm (You've become a mature mage; it's time to leave the warrior with nowhere to run.)]

Russell: "..."

He was a little confused. The two skills were completely unrelated and had nothing to do with each other. Was this 1.6-meter-tall person a warrior or a mage?

"Hey, mage over there, why did you stop? Keep shooting! Maybe if you fire a couple more shots, you can break through the defense!" Ying Yingying provocatively said, waving her staff and shooting out wind blades, fire pillars, cold air, and lightning.

A wall of water rose in front of Russell, and as it broke, he leaped into the sea.

A ripple spread rapidly outwards from him, reaching the edge of the sea.

A series of deep, rumbling waves roared and thundered, and as the deafening sound grew louder, the turbulent sea instantly transformed into a colossal beast.

Four waterspouts, tens of meters in diameter, rose into the sky, occupying the four corners and connecting with the dark clouds, intensifying the storm. Waves surged, the sea level rose, and Great Tsunami crashed down upon Ying Yingying.

"Hey, this is going a bit too far. Where did that guy get such terrifying Magic Power?" Ying Yingying licked her dry lips, and her gaze toward Russell changed involuntarily, filled with greedy desire.

A waterspout constructed a prison, filled with Great Tsunami, creating a colossal, pitch-black Cosmic Cube in the blink of an eye.

It connects to the dark clouds above and the sea below, its terrifying power is like the descent of a god!

Ying Yingying was trapped inside the Cosmic Cube, her body drifting uncertainly with the undercurrent. She took out a respirator and put it in her mouth, waving her staff to cool the seawater around her and turn it into an iceberg.

Russell darted in from below, stepping on the water, and stored his two pistols in his Space Ring, switching to holding the Adamantium Blade in one hand.

Sword energy crisscrosses!

The seawater above his head was split in two, along with small icebergs. His gaze locked onto Ying Yingying, and he accelerated upwards, riding the current.

The Adamantium Blade pulsated with a powerful, hidden intent until it reached Ying Yingying's back, at which point Russell gripped the hilt and slashed down fiercely.

Whoosh!

The Blade tore through the black robe, and crimson blood dripped down the blade!

Ying Yingying clasped her hands together, then, empty-handed, she caught the Adamantium Blade in her palm.

"Hehe, got you!" Ying Yingying spat out the respirator and grinned.

The sword energy tore through the black robe, and without the hood concealing her, Ying Yingying's true face was immediately revealed. She appeared to be a girl of fifteen or sixteen, with bright white teeth and delicate features, but the mature charm in her eyes was extremely inconsistent with her age.

A sense of foreboding rose in Russell's heart. He thought to himself, "This is bad." Just as he was about to draw his sword and step back, he was surprised to find that the Adamantium Blade was out of control. The silver-white blade twisted and softened, and with a bang, it turned into a piece of paper.

Matrix Forging!!!

Russell's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected her to use this move in battle. She was not only a mage's nemesis, but also a warrior's nemesis.

Russell kicked Ying Yingying in the chest, using the force to pull himself back, stepping onto the discarded paper in the ocean ten meters away.

"Since you're here, stay!"

Ying Yingying let out a low shout, tore her black robe into the air and threw it high. Magic Circle appeared on the back of the robe, and an invisible shockwave spread out, covering 360 degrees without any blind spots. In the blink of an eye, it formed a huge pentagram array, cutting the Cosmic Cube in half.

It wasn't over yet. A beam of light shot into the sky, squeezing out the seawater and isolating it from the confinement area.

Russell's feet were also expelled from the water, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he realized that the array beneath his feet was not Mana Deprivation Field.

Ying Yingying also landed on both feet, stepping on the pentagram array, and with a single gesture, she grasped the oddly shaped staff in her hand. "It's over, Blade Storm!!!"
