Hiragizawa Eriol's strength, compared to Clow Reed, was definitely not on the same level.
However, it was certainly not just this level either.
Adam still wanted to see Hiragizawa Eriol's true strength, and it would also give him a more intuitive understanding of the magic in this World.
"Could it be that this guy really came from another World?"
Hiragizawa Eriol looked at Adam in front of him, and for the first time, he fully mobilized the vast magic within his body.
Originally, he had been half-skeptical of Adam's explanation. Compared to the other party saying he came from another World, he was more inclined to believe that it might be a magician from this World coveting the power of the clow cards, and thus occupying Sakura's body.
However, in the recent exchange of blows, he gradually disproved his own guess.
He was basically familiar with most of the well-known magicians in the Magician's Association.
Even the most powerful among them had a huge gap in strength compared to him, and they definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand the series of magic attacks he just unleashed.
But this person named Adam easily took all of them.
The key was that the power the other party used was not magic, but several types of power he had never seen before.
However, even if the other party really came from another World, he couldn't let the other party continue to occupy Sakura's body, because that would be too dangerous for Sakura.
"Key that hides the power of Darkness, unleash all your might!"
Raising the Sun Staff in his hand, a powerful Darkness power surged towards Adam like dark clouds pressing down on a city.
Although he was the reincarnation of Clow Reed and could use most of Clow Reed's magic, he also had his own magical preferences, tending to use the power of Darkness.
Of course, it was pure Darkness power, not evil Dark magic.
Therefore, the two magical creatures he created, Spinel Sun and Ruby Moon, were both Dark-attributed, different from Cerberus and Moon.
"This is getting interesting. I'll have to go all out too!"
Looking at the Darkness power that filled the entire alternate space, Adam's eyes finally became serious.
Because this time, he truly felt danger.
Ultimately, he was not using his own body, but Sakura's body, and could not exert his full power.
And Hiragizawa Eriol's title as the strongest magician in the World was not just for show.
"Kamehame...ha."
Clasping his hands together, Adam controlled Sakura's body and began to gather energy.
In terms of destructive power, it had to be the Kamehameha.
Although he couldn't transform into a Great Ape with Sakura's body right now, a Kamehameha with over five thousand battle power should be powerful enough to open a hole in the overwhelming Darkness power.
He was preparing for close combat with the magician.
"Not good, Time!"
Hiragizawa Eriol, possessing precognitive abilities, suddenly saw what was about to happen in his mind, and immediately changed his strategy, activating Time Magic while manipulating the Darkness power.
In an instant, the entire alternate space came to a complete standstill, including Adam, who was preparing to release his Kamehameha.
"I didn't expect to have to use this move in the end."
Hiragizawa Eriol walked in front of Sakura, who was controlled by Adam, and reached out to cast a spell to expel Adam from Sakura's body.
Time Magic was a very profound magic, and even he couldn't use it freely at his current level.
Therefore, he wouldn't use this magic unless it was absolutely necessary.
Moreover, using this magic was a heavy burden, and he couldn't sustain it for long.
This was different from casting magic with clow cards. The Time clow card was equivalent to a magical tool created by Clow Reed after understanding the laws of Time to the extreme. Using magic with clow cards only required inputting magic.
He hadn't reached Clow Reed's level yet, so casting Time Magic with his own abilities was much more difficult.
"I can't get in!"
After finishing the incantation, Hiragizawa Eriol's expression changed.
Because he found that even though Adam was in a static state, there was still a power defense on the surface of his body, and it was several different unknown powers, making it impossible for him to enter Sakura's body and expel Adam's soul.
He tried several times, changing several spells, but still couldn't do it.
"Time's up."
Unable to break through Adam's defense, the Time Stop had reached its limit, and Hiragizawa Eriol had no choice but to pull back again.
"Huh?"
Adam, who was about to unleash a Kamehameha, suddenly found that all the Darkness power in front of him had disappeared. He let out a light
huh
and withdrew his Kamehameha.
"Did you just use Time Magic on me?"
He had also been researching Time Magic recently and had specifically consulted Ancient One.
Currently, he couldn't use Time Magic with his own magic, but sensing it was not a big problem.
This very peculiar sense of time dislocation clearly indicated that he had been hit by Time Magic.
Fortunately, he had been prepared.
Since Hiragizawa Eriol inherited Clow Reed's magic, it was only natural that he would know Time Magic.
So from the beginning, he had set up multiple layers of defenses on his body's surface.
In addition to the comprehensively covered Ki and various defensive magic, there were also Shinigami Power, Fullbring power, Hollow power, Quincy Power, and various Sealing Technique.
Even if he was truly frozen by Hiragizawa Eriol's Time Magic, it would be difficult to break through these defenses without harming Sakura's body.
"What exactly do you want to do by occupying Sakura's body?"
Hiragizawa Eriol questioned Adam.
He found that he really had no way to deal with Adam right now.
"I said, I have no ill intentions.
If possible, I hope we can have a calm and peaceful discussion."
Adam smiled.
Hiragizawa Eriol stared at Adam for a few seconds, then finally nodded:
"Alright, let's talk."
So, half an hour later.
Hiragizawa Eriol dispelled the alternate space labyrinth, and the two returned to the street in reality.
"I hope you can keep your promise."
"I always keep my word."
Adam smiled, his figure flashed, and he instantly returned to Sakura's room.
He and Hiragizawa Eriol had a rather pleasant discussion. Through Hiragizawa Eriol's magical oath, he promised not to harm Sakura, not to prevent Sakura from converting the clow cards into sakura cards, and not to reveal Hiragizawa Eriol's existence, among other promises.
And Hiragizawa Eriol agreed to spend an hour with him every day to discuss magic.
"If only I could learn Time Magic soon!"
Sitting on Sakura's bed, Adam couldn't help but sigh.
To be honest, Time Magic was really useful. Even Dormammu was forced away by Doctor Strange because of Time Magic.
If he mastered Time Magic, he wouldn't be afraid even if he encountered an opponent ten times stronger than him.
He had many ultimate moves that could unleash extraordinary combat power. As long as he used Time to freeze the opponent, he was absolutely confident in breaking through their defense.
Just like the Ki Blade, its weakness was that it was too easy to dodge.
If he used Time Magic to freeze the opponent, no matter how high their defense, they wouldn't be able to withstand tens of thousands of Ki Blade hits, right?
If he could learn the Spirit Bomb in the Dragon Ball World later, he could even try fighting a Dimensional Demon Gods.
