After the magical ritual transformation was complete, Lucrezia's figure appeared before Liens from dozens of meters away, as if teleporting.
At this moment, her figure was no longer blurry, as if she had stepped from a dream into reality, but she was still enveloped by that soul-touching beauty and soul-stirring charm.
"What grand magic is this?"
Liens inquired.
Magic textbooks also introduced some conventional grand magic, such as Gravity Domain.
However, Lucrezia's magic, whether it was the shape of the magic circle or the ritual changes, did not conform to the conventional grand magic he knew.
Therefore, this grand magic was either a secret magic not recorded in textbooks, or it was a magic created by Lucrezia herself.
Regardless, this magic was unknown to him.
Thinking of this, Liens's eyes became even more curious, and his spiritual perception expanded, carefully exploring the situation of this unknown grand magic before him.
"This is a secret, so naturally, I can't easily tell you, but if you can perceive the secret of this magic, I can give you some rewards, very comfortable rewards, oh!"
As soon as the charming voice fell, Lucrezia, holding a treasured sword that seemed to only appear in legendary tales, launched an attack on Liens.
Although he sensed the powerful might emanating from the treasured sword, Liens still had no intention of avoiding it, and likewise raised his sword to meet the attack.
"Boom!"
The two swords met, unleashing a powerful impact, and the roaring sound stirred up strong winds that swept everything around them.
Submissive trees crushed their neighbors, flying dust obscured the sky, and tiny stones turned into dense crossbow bolts attacking the visiting guests.
After blocking the flying stones, the refined and amiable man stopped the impulsive young man, preventing him from directly rushing into the battlefield and disturbing the battle between the two on the field.
"Calm down, Uria… Lucrezia is not in danger. Looking at the situation on the field, it's highly likely that the two are just sparring."
"If you rush in rashly, you might disrupt Lucrezia's plan… Wait a moment. If we need to act, Lucrezia will send a signal."
Donahue explained to Uria with a serious expression.
Hearing this, Uria temporarily suppressed the anxious emotions in his heart, nodded to Donahue, and intently watched the battle on the field, his right hand tightly gripping his spear, his thighs tensed, ready for battle.
As soon as he noticed anything amiss, he would immediately rush into the battlefield to rescue Lucrezia.
The battle on the field did not stop because of their arrival; in fact, it intensified, with continuous loud roars and an ever-expanding range of combat impact.
This forced Uria and Donahue to retreat to a greater distance.
Soon, Balder and the others also arrived. Watching the fierce battle on the field, Balder asked the steady Donahue about the situation: "What's generally going on?"
"The one fighting Lucrezia should be Liens, whom she came to pick up. Although I don't know what happened in between that led to the two sparring."
"The battle on the field looks fierce, but they aren't truly fighting to kill, and if it were truly an enemy, she wouldn't abandon asking us for help due to something like 'face'."
"So I speculate that, most likely, Liens is quite warlike, and Lucrezia accepted his Proactive sparring request."
Donahue replied.
"However, this young man truly seems extraordinary. No wonder Lucrezia places such importance on him."
"Everyone should know a little about Lucrezia's magic, more or less. Even we, who are not the primary targets, can feel such power."
"I'm even a bit unable to comprehend how much Lucrezia has been strengthened, to the point where she already has a bit of the feeling of that Sword Saint."
Donahue continued to exclaim, a hint of astonishment in his gaze as he looked at the fierce battle.
On the field, the flattened forest.
"Pfft!"
Liens, who once again had to take Lucrezia's attack, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood. At this moment, his gaze towards Lucrezia became even more serious.
After using that unknown grand magic, Lucrezia successively displayed various powerful abilities.
Including but not limited to powerful penetrating attacks, absolute accuracy, teleportation, etc… which at times made him unable to parry, repeatedly putting him in dangerous situations.
He had never encountered such a completely suppressed situation, not even when facing Earl Bard.
It's hard to imagine how powerful a boost this unknown grand magic gave Lucrezia?
Although he could sense a very obvious false aura around Lucrezia.
And connecting that to the dreamy magical characteristics of her, he could probably guess the properties of that unknown grand magic.
However, he had not yet found a basis to negate that false illusion. The attacks felt fake, but the damage was real; the abilities felt illusory, but from his perspective, they were very reasonable.
Regarding this kind of seemingly real, seemingly fake ability, even though he was now spitting blood from being hit, he was still very curious how it was achieved?
Lucrezia was equally curious, though what she was curious about was how deep Liens's understanding of the world truly was?
She even felt that her current state fully qualified her to fight her Sword Saint teacher.
"Paradise of Dreams," this was the name of the grand magic Lucrezia cast, and its ability was to construct an illusory domain centered on the caster, covering reality.
Within the domain, Lucrezia was theoretically omnipotent; she could shape anything based on her cognition and apply various abilities to herself.
It looked incredibly powerful, but all of it was fake, merely an illusion.
The truly special aspect of "Paradise of Dreams" was its ability to transform illusions within the domain, which the affected person believed to conform to their own cognition, into a reality that only affected that person.
In a nutshell, my power depends entirely on your imagination.
Liens, not understanding "Paradise of Dreams," naturally initially predicted its abilities to be grand.
And his understanding of the world completely exceeded his own strength level, which led to Lucrezia's state of having various powerful abilities combined into one.
Even if he could sense that it was fake, as long as there was a trace of what he considered reasonable in his cognition, Lucrezia's abilities could continue to affect him.
And the deeper his understanding of the world, the more Liens's inner self leaned towards tracing things back to their origin. Without finding the root cause, he couldn't completely negate the illusion.
"Boom!"
The two swords clashed again.
This time, due to the accumulation of injuries, Liens could no longer contend with Lucrezia's attacks. His longsword broke, and his body was sent flying backward by the powerful impact.
Seeing this, he realized that his normal state could not continue to contend with Lucrezia, who was boosted by the unknown grand magic.
To continue the battle, he entered "Heaven and Man as One."
Subsequently, he saw the truth of Lucrezia's grand magic, found the root of that grand magic's ability, and at that moment, he felt a sudden lack of interest.
"I concede!"
