Chapter 263: Rice: Taking Advantage of the Program Bug Left by Helga
After fighting with the puppet for a while, Rice discovered a flaw in the puppet's design.
In order to save magic power, the puppet will not go all out right away - this is reasonable, just like a person would not use a full-strength attack on a mosquito. But the problem is that the puppet has its own unique way of judging the strength of the invader.
To be more specific, it is to release an attack magic first. If the invader cannot resist it, it will enter a dormant state. If the invader resists it, it will switch to a conservative defense state, and then judge the degree of magic to be used according to the degree of threat posed by the invader.
But Hufflepuff obviously did not consider what would happen if the invader actively or passively gave up for a specific reason.
Rice found this bug by coincidence - the puppet will not actively increase the attack intensity!
In the puppet's cognition, the current attack intensity is enough to kill Rice. If the sandman punches him and he is not dead, then he will punch him again.
But for Rice, the puppet cannot kill him even if he fights for ten years without opening the field.
Rice knew very well that Helga's puppet could open a domain, but he had not felt Helga's domain until now, which meant that the puppet had not opened a domain at all.
Then his advantage was too great. He could keep this state until he turned this area into his own domain.
As long as he did not actively attack the puppet.
After this thought came to his mind, Rice began to implement this tactic. Sure enough, the puppet just drove the sandman to attack Rice in vain, just like playing whack-a-mole.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Rice also successfully transformed most of the underground area of the hall into his own domain, and the original muddy land of more than ten square meters turned into a small pool of water.
During this period of time, he accumulated a lot of magic power in his own domain, but he was always in a state of being unsustainable, so he was not noticed by the puppet.
After a long time of attack, the puppet drove the sandman back two steps, and then spread his hands. Seeing it suddenly change its action, a flash of enlightenment flashed through Les' mind: this is because the long-term attack has not been successful, and the hidden mechanism has been triggered. The puppet needs to strengthen its output ability-and the giant sand man is already the peak of the puppet's attack power. If you want to provide further output, you can only open the domain.
Les no longer hesitated and directly presented the "gift" he prepared for the puppet: the pool exploded with a bang, and the clear water instantly covered the floor of the entire hall. Les's domain has been fully deployed, and the suppression force has been pulled to the limit in an instant.
This is just the beginning.
In the previous battle, the sand man's arms and torso were inevitably stained with a lot of mud. As time passed, the mud slowly penetrated into the sand man's body and merged with it.
After Les fully expanded the domain, the sand man froze in place, with large bubbles bulging on his body, and the yellow sand on his body surface was also rapidly moistening.
Finally, with a crash, the 30-meter-tall sandman collapsed to the ground, turning into a large pool of wet sand, unable to form a fixed shape. Even the puppet standing on its head was affected - its feet were stained by the wet mud, and then expanded upwards rapidly.
The puppet made a prompt decision, waved his hands, and the part below the calf was cut off by itself, thus resisting the erosion of the mud.
It floated in the air, trying to summon sand to repair the missing body as before, and then it found that the sand that had previously spread all over the hall had been eroded by his domain after Rice's explosive expansion of the domain, and it could no longer mobilize their power.
Rice stared at the puppet in the air with a serious look. He did not feel complacent about the successful surprise attack. He was evaporating the water stains on the ground at the fastest speed, filling the entire hall with water vapor.
He knew very well that he was fighting with the puppet in the desert after all. Even if he had the upper hand temporarily through cleverness, he would still suffer in a protracted war. Apart from anything else, as long as the puppet smashes the roof of the hall, the sand rushing down will make him suffer.
So he must expand his advantage to the extreme in a short time and make a quick decision.
The puppet has opened the domain, but it is suppressed by the powerful domain in the environment and cannot fully exert the magical effect of the domain.
It was stunned for a moment, and then found the simplest way to solve the problem-lift the roof.
The puppet immediately raised his head and arms, ready to use the spell to blow up the roof of the hall. Even if it can't blow it up, opening a hole can also be of great help. However, at this time, the water vapor in the hall is so dense that it condenses into a group of white vapor.
Les's face was pale, and he almost poured all his strength into his own domain. The huge energy consumption even made his eyes black and his throat sweet.
However, the effect was also very significant. From the explosion of the domain, to the sand man falling to the ground, and then to the puppet flying into the air, it took less than a minute in total, but condensed water had appeared on the top of the ruins hall.
Rice successfully extended his territory to every corner of the hall.
The puppet's attack magic hit the dome, and then bounced down. After several bounces, even this part of the magic power was swallowed up by Les's domain.
Seeing this, Les laughed.
"Helga, I won this time after all."
The puppet seemed to realize its situation. It simply stopped struggling and fell directly to the ground, allowing the mud on the ground to erode its body.
It looked straight at where Les was standing, then clenched its fists and rushed towards him.
Did it choose to fight in a melee? Les was a little surprised, because such behavior was meaningless. He could just shrink into the mud and let the mud swallow the puppet bit by bit.
However, after seeing the extremely familiar face and the unusually familiar expression on the face, Les gave up the idea.
He decided to give the puppet of his old friend the last dignity, just like a thousand years ago...
Les threw his wand aside, rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the Hufflepuff puppet.
Bang!
Bang!
Rice's fist hit the puppet's face, and the puppet also hit him hard on the back.
To be honest, after being hit hard by the puppet, Rice was a little regretful, but he still gritted his teeth and fought hard with the puppet. One man and one puppet, two wizards with extremely high magical attainments chose to fight each other like Muggles to decide the winner.
However, there was no suspense in this battle from the beginning.
A few minutes later, Rice lay on the ground, gasping for breath, and the Hufflepuff puppet collapsed quietly on the ground, without a sound.
