In this sudden tranquility, the sentry torch was still burning tenaciously. This powerful fire penetrated the dark night and illuminated the silent night sky.
"!" Blaze, who was reading a book in his tent, suddenly perked up his ears. He instinctively felt that danger was approaching.
The book in his hand was given to him by Roland, with the purpose of making this demigod's personal guard quickly familiar with the , at this moment, the werewolf's nostrils twitched slightly, sniffed the air, and then his eyes became serious. He immediately dropped the book, grabbed the royal sword that exuded chills, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed out.
Blaze looked around with sharp eyes and saw that all the Kalia mages fell to the ground one by one, as if they had suddenly fallen into an endless away, the patrolling figures of the exiled soldiers commanded by Neferi Lu also disappeared without a unusual quietness made the entire camp look like an uninhabited ancient castle.
The werewolf didn't hesitate at all. He quickly picked up the royal sword and ran on all fours towards the tent where Neferee Lu figure was like a giant wolf, quickly shuttling between the tents against the obstacles in the darkness.
"Neferi! An enemy has cast a spell similar to night magic on our camp!" The werewolf's roar echoed in the camp, but Neferi Lu didn't respond. Blaze immediately realized that the other party had been hit.
Blaze felt his body getting heavier and heavier, and he could really feel the irreversible sleepiness approaching knew that he could no longer stay here and quickly ran towards the tent where the Crystal Man was.
He remembered that these crystallized beings were immune to the negative effects of many spells, and now he had to awaken them.
"Shh-!"
The tent suddenly opened, and the light of blue pyroxene instantly fell 's broad wolf claws slapped the crystallized man closest to the tent door without hesitation, awakening the latter from his meditation.
"The camp is being attacked by the enemy's mysterious spells. I need you to wake up other crystal people to protect the camp. I want to go out personally to see who is attacking." Blaze bared his wolf fangs and disappeared immediately after speaking to the crystal people. At the tent door.
The dark blue light spots in the eyes of the crystal man jumped a few times, and after a while, it successfully awakened the other crystallized people galloped around the camp with a strange but extremely agile gait, and then stopped quietly to maintain a state of alert, as if they were guards in the sculpture.
On the other side, Blaze, who was running out of the military camp with the royal sword on his back, stopped in a hurry after he couldn't feel the spell that made him uncomfortable, and ran towards higher ground.
He came to a higher rock in the Red Rock Mountains and observed the situation near the military camp.
Soon, Blaze spotted a group of dark figures walking towards the camp along the road leading to the avenue. These evil-looking enemies were the Law Breakers Corps sent by the Offician Parliament to search the Golden Federation camp.
Blaze looked up at the bright moon and let out a powerful wolf quickly ran in the direction where the scouts came from, with only one thought in his mind, and that was to find the initiator of the mysterious spell behind are not many scouts in this team, and the crystallized people in the camp are fully capable of competing with , Blaze is determined to find out the real enemy and resolve this battle.
"I think Master Vladimir is a little too cautious. We don't need to go to investigate at all. How could the people of the Golden Federation resist [Withered Wood Meets the Boundary]. Just let the troops in the rear bombard them with spells." Right?" A younger mage in the team that was cautiously heading to the Golden Federation couldn't help but grumbled.
The leading captain said: "Shut up and be quiet."
"Oh..." The little mage curled his lips. Although he became quiet, he still looked unconvinced.
Then the companion next to him blinked at him, and a psychic spell was transmitted from the companion. The little mage took a peek at the captain and found that the captain was not aware of the situation on his side and immediately connected to the companion's telepathic communication.
"Hey, can you hear me?" The companion's joking voice sounded in his mind.
The little mage rolled his eyes and replied in his mind: "It's so cold at night, so let's not be poor. Alas, I just want to go back to the warm tent, drink hot cocoa and read a book for a while."
"There is nothing we can do about it. By the way, did you know that in addition to investigation, the captain also has a separate personal mission this time?" The companion comforted him first, and then used a mysterious tone to evoke the little mage's mind. Aroused the other party's interest.
"What is it?"
The little mage asked the question curiously as his companion expected, which made him chuckle secretly. Then he said mysteriously: "Master Vladimir personally gave the captain a private order, asking him to bring back several Golden Federation members. soldiers and want to study their bodies."
The little mage had a "That's it" expression on his face. As a legendary mage who has studied life magic for many years, it is completely normal for Master Vladimir to conduct experiments on several enemy prisoners.
Just when he wanted to say something to his companions, the captain's voice came: "When you reach your destination, please be vigilant."
The young mage had no choice but to give up the exchange of spiritual magic with his companions. He clenched the Demon-Breaking Sword and Shield in his hands, and his figure disappeared under the influence of magic, arriving at the main entrance of the Storm Legion barracks led by Neferi Lu.
"Bang." The group of people had just sneaked into the main entrance. The moment they were illuminated by the light of the still burning torch, the invisible magic they applied to their bodies made a sound like breaking glass, and then the group of spellbreaker soldiers The figure suddenly appeared.
The moment the invisibility magic disappeared, they immediately formed a well-trained circle back to back, holding up their magic-breaking shields to block any incoming attacks.
However, they foolishly stayed in place for nearly a minute without waiting for the enemy to attack. The captain carefully listened to the surrounding situation, and after confirming that it was safe, he gestured to the team members to stay on the spot for the time being, and went to investigate the situation himself. .
The captain came to the main entrance alone and saw the exiled soldier lying on the ground, his body rising and falling peacefully in his carefully leaned down and poked the opponent's armor with the weapon in his hand to test. After the opponent showed no response and was still sleeping soundly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Safe." After the captain made a gesture, the team members followed with weapons in hand.
The little mage looked at the burning torches inserted on both sides of the main entrance and said: "Captain, these torches should be the sentinel torches of the Golden Federation mentioned in the intelligence that can even break the disguise of Charles Empire's Shadow Thorn."
The captain nodded: "Well, it happens that the Austrian Law Council is also interested in this kind of torch. Unfortunately, the Golden Federation does not sell this kind of torch publicly at all. Destroy the torch and we will take it back. If the group of researchers in the Council can imitate something similar to things, then we can take the initiative when facing the Charles Empire in the future. You, take off all the torches in the camp, and tie up the sleeping soldiers at the door and bring them back to Master Vladimir. Others Join me as we continue to search the camp for enemy commanders."
The person the captain pointed to was the young mage. The latter nodded and put the Demon-Breaking Sword and Shield back behind his back. He then came to the front door and stood on tiptoe, reaching out to pick off the burning torch.
Then the little mage vaguely saw a blue figure very close to him in a place where the torch could not reach. He was so frightened that he trembled and broke into a cold sweat.
"What's wrong?" The other teammates keenly observed the little mage's strange behavior and quickly gathered around him.
The little mage calmed down, stood up on tiptoes and took off the sentry torch, lighting up the place where he had just seen the blue figure, and said to his companion: "It's nothing, I was just scared by this thing. It's very dark at night. I don’t know what the people of the Golden Federation think about putting a crystal sculpture here.”
The companion who had communicated with him before came over and patted him on the shoulder, with a joking smile on his captain also came over at this time, took a look at the sculpture disguised by the crystal man, and said: "This may not be an ordinary sculpture, but a magic puppet or something like that, but now there are no soldiers in the entire camp who can control them. Even if these are automatic enemy-seeking puppets, the ether will be absorbed by the magic circle, so there is no big danger. Just pay attention to check whether there are any magic traps on the sculpture."
The little mage nodded, then looked at the captain's expression, and said with a sad face: "Captain, maybe you want me to move back here too. I, I am really too busy for this alone."
"Let me stay and help!" The little mage's friend volunteered and raised his hand. The captain nodded and urged the other team members to move deeper into the camp.
When the little mage took off the torch, he wanted to call his friend who was going to carry the crystal sculpture, but found that the other person was standing motionless in front of the crystal sculpture.
"Let's go, what's wrong with you? Are you obsessed with this crystal?" No matter how the little mage called his companions, there was no movement. When he sensed something was wrong, he immediately took out his weapon.
However, the little mage suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He looked down at the low-blood spear tip emerging from his chest with a horrified expression, and then saw his companion's body suddenly fell to the ground weakly, with a hole as big as an oval on his forehead. Red and white filth flowed out.
After the two crystal men dealt with the two intruders who entered the camp, they looked at each other, raised their spears and jumped towards the enemy.
Chapter 145: Crystallization
The remaining members of the Spellbreaker team, led by their captain, cautiously walked toward the military camp where Neferi Lu of them held a circular detection device used to detect magic traps, and the others followed behind.
"People in the Golden Federation don't seem to have the habit of setting up spell traps in their camps." The team member withdrew the detection device and turned to the captain and said.
If Roland heard this, he would have to let this group of people go to the various catacombs in the junction area.
The captain replied: "You are right, but we still can't let down our guard. The tent in front seems to be where their general command is. Let's go in and capture the people inside, then check the tent and bring all the intelligence. Immediately withdraw valuable items to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do you understand?"
"Understood." After listening to the captain's words, the members of the Spellbreaker team began to move cleanly and timidly.
Just as they were approaching the general command tent, the captain suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be team members stopped in a well-trained and orderly manner, holding the Demon Breaking Sword and Shield in their hands while looking at the captain on guard.
"It scared me, it's these crystal sculptures again." The captain cursed in a low voice after seeing clearly the two figures standing at the door of the tent, frowning and making gestures behind him.
The team members stayed in formation and came to the captain's side. They saw the five crystal figures gathered at the door of Neferi Lu's tent. One team member said: "These crystal statues should have been taken out by the Golden Federation recently, right? Previously from There is no such thing mentioned in the intelligence of Charles Empire, I am afraid it is specially used to deal with us."
The captain nodded: "Well, it's a pity that the Golden Federation has a good idea, but it's not so lucky. They didn't expect that our Austrian Parliament has so many magic circles with magical effects. It's a pity that there is no way to move all these things. It will soon be destroyed by the magic attack."
"If I had known better, I would have brought a space magic device specially used for storage. Although these sculptures have some ugly faces, the crystal sculptures themselves are very valuable." A team member said jokingly.
The captain snorted coldly: "Under the influence of Dead Trees, what you bring back is just a ball of crystal scum with no magic response. It's okay to use it to deceive the upstarts who have no eyesight. But in the Austrian Law Council, what do you want? Selling it at a high price is somewhat unlikely.”
As he spoke, in order to verify what he said, he stretched his spirit to detect the crystal sculpture to see if the ether contained in it had begun to be absorbed by the magic circle of [Deadwood Encountering the World].
Then the expression on the captain's face suddenly froze, and the mental feedback detected told him that the ether in these crystal sculptures was not only not lacking, but was instead extremely rich and active, just like the feeling he had when he detected the enemy mage in the past.
He suddenly thought of the two team members left at the door. It seemed that he had never heard any movement of moving things from the main entrance of the camp since they separated.
"No, stay away from these crystals..." The captain exerted force on his feet and pulled a team member back violently.
However, before he finished speaking, his entire vision was filled with dark blue light.
The captain subconsciously protected the team members behind him and raised the arm holding the a dark blue light, he heard the screams of his team members and the tearing sound of something hard hitting the shield, causing it to break. Then his arm lost all feeling, and the pain started from where it originally belonged. spread to the brain.
"Ah——" The unbearable pain of losing his arm made the captain scream. Then the tough guy gritted his teeth and stepped back. His other uninjured hand took out the healing potion from his waist and twisted it with one hand. Pour it into your mouth.
The healing potion took effect immediately, and the bleeding on the injured arm was immediately stopped. Only then did the captain have time to raise his head and look in front of him.
However, what came into view was a tragic team members he brought were all lying in a pool of blood. Their broken bodies were covered with pointed blue-purple crystals. The armor carefully crafted by the Arcane Council to defend against magic was useless. They were covered by these blue-purple crystal magics. It also penetrates the flesh easily.
[Spell·Explosive Crystal], the magic of the mysterious crystallization can form crystal blocks, which are crushed and released forward.
There were only 4 players who were still able to move, raising their swords and shields to resist the five crystallized people who were moving. However, the captain's eyes could clearly see the sword blades swung by his team members striking the crystallized people. Not even a trace of white marks was left, and there was a crisp sound of flicking the knife.
Those crystal beings jumping around in stiff postures were holding crystal spears or crystal flying discs in their hands, and they were constantly approaching the members of the magic circle-breaking team who were unable to withstand their attacks.
Since the number of remaining members of the Spellbreaker team was not as large as the number of crystallized people, one team member was exposed to the seemingly endless spear attacks of the two crystallized shield in this team member's hand was lifted open by a spear, and he was caught off guard by another crystallizer who stabbed his heart with a spear, which gave him a shock.
"Aleph, escape quickly and report to Master Vladimir..." The captain shook the team member he had pulled in his hand and said anxiously.
However, the team member did not respond to the captain's words. When the captain looked down, he found that there was a blue crystal stuck in the head of the team member, which was dripping with blood. It was obvious that the wave of crystallized people had just exploded. He had already died among them.
"Damn it." The captain dropped the bodies of the team members, ignored the team members who were in danger under the attack of the crystallized people and called for help, turned around and ran away without hesitation, and at the same time tore open several magic scrolls and protective shields of various colors. Shields immediately surrounded him.
The light spots on the eyes of a crystal man holding a crystal staff jumped a few times, and he raised the staff slightly, making a throwing blue light belonging to the crystal magic continued to rotate and condense on the top of the staff, and sharp crystal fragments appeared one after another. Then the crystallizer pointed the tip of the staff at the leader of the Breakers team who was running away with his back turned. .
Countless crystal fragments followed his movements like Gatling guns, arriving first and second at extremely fast speeds, and flew towards the escaping captain.
The ether shields generated by the magic scroll disappeared one after another under the impact of the crystal fragments, breaking through the defenses deployed by the captain before he could a sharp blue crystal penetrated his body, the captain's escape movements stiffened. The crystals coming from behind ruthlessly entered his body one after another, peeling off the flesh and blood from his body until the chest cavity was completely filled with these crystals. After it was full, the captain's body fell to the ground.
[Spell·Unbridled Crystal]: The magic of the mysterious crystallizer form crystalline blocks and continuously release crystalline will continue to be released during the continuous magic known as the Wrath of the Crystallized crystal fragments are each huge and very dangerous.
The remaining three members of the Spellbreaker team who were still alive saw that the captain not only betrayed them and ran away, but were also killed by the mysterious crystal sculpture in front of them with magic after escaping. They were shocked and were seized by other crystal people.
The crystallized man wielding the sharp disk threw out his weapon like a dancer. The remaining crystallized men did not care and allowed the members of the Spellbreaker team to slash their bodies with the sword blades in their hands, and then stretched out their weapons and got stuck. Their weapons prevent them from retrieving their weapons at this moment, the flying disk made a sound in the night sky. The sharp round blade accurately decapitated the three surviving members of the spellbreaker team. Blood spurted out like spring water on the clean body of the crystallized man. And the grass was sprinkled with scarlet.
After all the enemies were eliminated, the crystal man holding the staff silently looked at his compatriots, and several other crystal men began to patrol the camp to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
While the team of law breakers on the other side who were responsible for investigating the situation in the camp were completely wiped out, Master Vladimi, who was in charge of presiding over the magic circle here, was still waiting for their news without knowing anything.
The surrounding mages were silent and did not dare to communicate with each other for fear of affecting Master Vladimi.
On top of the magic circle, Master God Vladimir, who maintains [Withered Trees Meet the World] as the eye of the circle, is constantly flowing with emerald-green life ether into the mercury lines outlined on the ground.
He closed his eyes tightly. This loss of mana was nothing to him. His mental perception was always detecting the nearby situation. No living creature could escape his perception to guard against possible existence. danger.
As a legendary archmage who has lived long enough, he will not leave his life safety completely to has seen too many colleagues die under heavy protection. Only he, Yaloys and two old guys have survived until now.
Master Vladimi suddenly frowned. In his mental perception, there was a creature with life fluctuations and a wolf-like appearance, which was quickly rushing towards his magic circle.
He opened his eyes slightly, but none of the mages who were on guard around him noticed this abnormality. Vladimi knew that the wild wolf he noticed was probably not an ordinary creature.
Was some powerful magical beast attracted by the rich ether coming from the magic circle?Varadimi no matter what it was, he didn't intend to let it get close to the magic circle.
Vladimir moved his fingers slightly, and under his control, a vine penetrated deeply into the ground, and quickly attacked the running creature on the ground.
Just when Vladimi thought this vine was enough to deal with this monster, he suddenly found that the connection with the vine was inexplicably the same time, in his perception, the monster running towards this side became faster and faster, causing such movement that the surrounding mages noticed something was wrong.
"The enemy is coming, protect Master Vladimir!" the vigilant mage shouted loudly. While greeting his companions, he clenched the staff in his hand, pointed it at the swaying woods on the Red Rock Mountains, and recited a spell.
The shaking of the woods was getting closer and closer, and the mages who had prepared spells in advance launched spells at the place where the trees were shaking. Flame balls, electric currents, venom, wind blades, and all kinds of extremely destructive spells suddenly destroyed the woods. shrouded.
do you died?Vladimir mentally detected it again, and in the scattered dust he felt that the beast's life fluctuations were still strong, as if the attack magic just now had no effect at all.
"Be careful!" Varadimi warned, and a huge black shadow flew out of the smoke.
After hearing the warning, the mages responded quickly and bombarded spells that could be cast in the direction of the shadow's landing point, but the power was not as powerful as the spell just now.
"Bang!" The huge black shadow exploded directly under the bombardment of countless instant spells and scattered on the waiting for the afterglow of the spell to dissipate, these mages discovered that they were attacking a huge rock.
Oops, it’s a trap!The mage in charge of vigilance shrank his pupils and left the place immediately.
However, a black shadow jumped high in the night sky, and the pure white moonlight shone on the visitor. Then the mage could only see the creature's green eyes and ears in the night. The piercing howl of a wolf.
Vladimi presided over the magic circle and could not cast high-power spells with his hands. He could only use his fingers to urgently apply a layer of emerald green ether shield on the surrounding mages.
Blaze raised the royal sword filled with ice mist, fell from the air and struck at the mage who wanted to escape. The emerald green ether shield was frozen into a thin layer the moment it touched the blade of the royal sword. mage was split in half by Blaze, and the wound was also frozen by the cold. Both internal organs and blood were solidified in the body.
"Woo——!" Blaze let out a cry like a beast. After killing the mage, he did not stop attacking. Instead, he used all four limbs together and flexibly wielded the royal sword to kill those around him who reacted. Mages who cast spells.
Amidst the sound of spell bombing, Blaze's figure descended on these mages like a ghost with cold death, turning them into ice sculptures with mutilated limbs one after another.
Varadimi had a gloomy face, and the life ether flowing into the magic circle began to disappear from his stretched out his right hand, and the staff wrapped around the emerald green branches appeared in his hand with flashing light. The staff was condensed with ether and he asked: "Who are you, Your Excellency?"
"..."
Blaze had no interest in talking to the enemy. After killing the last mage near the magic circle, he turned around and looked at Vladimi with ferocious eyes.
After the werewolf serving the demigod and the great magician of life looked at each other, they clenched the royal sword in their hands, and even more majestic ice mist spilled from the sword.
1Chapter 16:Shadow of God, Blaze
Blaze glanced vaguely at the magic circle where magic crystals and mercury flashed around Varadimi, and he immediately made a decision in his heart: kill first.
"Wolf head and human body...are you a remnant of the northern orc kingdom?" Master Vladimir's voice echoed between him and Blaze. The eyes of the great magician of life overflowed with emerald green light, obviously the spell was ready. .
The Golden Federation killed two of his disciples. Varadimi naturally went to understand the situation in this country and knew that the Golden Federation had a very different attitude towards the orcs who were wandering around without a country.
He snorted coldly: "I'm just showing you a little sympathy and letting you work so hard for the Golden Federation. You orcs are really a pathetic existence."
Blaze felt a little baffled when he heard these words, but he also knew that his image was very similar to the orcs in this remembered that when he first met the tauren chief, the other man subconsciously knelt down to him, but the chief quickly reacted and stopped this action.
Later, during his communication with Jonson Bloodhoof, Blaze learned that the orcs with wolf heads and bodies had a special status in the entire orc race. Their family had once served as the exclusive guards of the orc royal family.
Blaze didn't pay attention to Varadimi's nonsense to delay time. He grasped the hilt of the royal sword and flexibly spun his body towards Varadimi.
The blade of the sword glowed with silver light and was sprinkled with ice mist, like a crescent moon striking at robe on Vladimi's body swelled up as if blown by the wind under the action of the thick ether around him. The staff of the Morning Star of Life was aimed at Blaze's tall figure in mid-air. The ground under his feet rolled like boiling water. The unclear branches and vines turned into sharp swords and stabbed into the air.
Blaze directly waved the royal sword and sprayed a crystal mist of ice. All branches and vines that touched the ice mist immediately stopped extending and frost condensed on the frost eroded along the branches and vines, and Blaze cut off these frozen plants while rotating his body.
"Using ice attribute magic to fight life magic? A very good idea." Vladimi looked at the frost that was eroding towards him, and praised Blazer with a calm waved his hand gently, and the branches and vines suddenly disappeared. After the frost lost its object to freeze, it slowly disappeared into the air.
