Chapter 379: Battle
"....... this is really not light or heavy, and the information on the information is really not all fake. ”
Coming out of the smoke, Rorschach didn't fight back anxiously...... He also simply did not have the means to fight back directly.
Although he is at a disadvantage in rank, equipment, proficiency, and experience, Rorschach is not without advantages....... he knows most of the abilities shown by the other party, while Anthony knows nothing about Rorschach.
In the battle of spellcasters, intelligence warfare is always the highest priority.
It is inevitable to guard against the opponent's ability in advance, and if Rorschach hadn't gotten Anthony's information from Heavenly Alchemy before, he would have suffered a big loss firsthand.
But now, the situation is completely reversed.
"Shield Defender, take it back. ”
Surrounding Rorschach were four specially made clay golems, covered with flames, but could only burn silently.
The Shield Guardian is a synonym for a type of battle golem that is a common guard for spellcasters, and is basically structured like movable armor holding a large shield/two-handed shield.
In most cases, the combat effectiveness of the shield defender is not excellent, and it can only be used as cannon fodder, but due to its mature technology, many functions, and wide range of options, it can play a certain (not much) role in various battlefields.
And this in front of Rorschach, "Flame Destroyer No. 447" is a typical example, its material is fireproof bricks....... yes, yes, yes, since the flesh, mud, and stone of the era can be used as battle puppets, why can't fireproof bricks.
Although Heaven Alchemy is a third-rate magic club that has gone astray, since it is in the name of alchemy, there will be no shortage of alchemists and alchemy equipment in the old nest, and all kinds of alchemy equipment are relatively complete....... where is Rorschach has a lot of equipment, well, the kind that does not keep accounts.
Of course, the other party is not defenseless, it is impossible to take out the treasure trove of the club....... even if it is taken out, the third-rate club may not have top-notch goods.
Rorschach didn't see too much magic equipment in the warehouse, the name of this Flame Destroyer sounded imposing, but in fact it was only used for firefighting, and the real arms were too expensive.
Now, his five fingers are all covered with magic rings, and most of them are various industrial puppets, after all......
"....... after all, I'm here to do this........ and besides, the Soul Emblem restricts the types of spells I can cast, but it doesn't restrict me from using magical equipment. ”
Rorschach had figured it out, and now that the restrictions were in place, it was better to take advantage of the existing conditions.
His own ability is to make all kinds of weapons and equipment, and to create steel/wood guards, since it is not convenient to create life legions on a large scale now, the same is true for summons that borrow magic equipment.
Although the industrial/life puppets are a little weaker in combat, after they are armed, they are completely different things.
And throwing two smoke bombs at random, Rorschach not only did not want to dispel this blind spot, but intended to make the battlefield more chaotic and unknown.
After recovering the shieldkeeper who was still burning silently, Rorschach turned his attention to the next magic ring.
"Come out, Sky Explorer. ”
This time the name is more atmospheric, but in fact, it is only two flying drones that come out...... It's the kind of earth Taobao that is available for sale, and the price is not expensive, but they burn magic energy instead of electricity.
"Camouflage cloak. ”
"The wings of the Scorching Gods. ”
The former creates a cloak for stealth and camouflage, while the latter gives the blessed person a fire-breathing wing, giving them the ability to fly.
If it already has the ability to fly, it can also increase its flight speed, but Rorschach is using this now, not really expecting how fast they can fly.
"Go ahead. ”
With a snap of their fingers, the two drones flew directly out of the blind spot created by smoke and dust.
Unlike the previous shieldguards, these two toys are rudimentary and don't even have an automatic AI, and Rorschach has to hold two operating wheels to be distracted.
And then.......
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Rorschach, who had long been wearing a camouflage cloak, silently threw away the operation disk, and after carefully feeling the magic fluctuations on the periphery, he showed a smug smile.
"Sure enough, this guy is also afraid of me......."
Rorschach smiled, and at this time he was really a little sure of victory.
The caster is undoubtedly the profession that relies on the most intelligence, and it is impossible for a low-IQ fool to become a mage, and Anthony's explosive personality is a fact, but it does not mean that he is really reckless.
On the contrary, most mages think a lot, think too much, and caution and suspicion are their common problems.
Because of caution, he didn't know anything about Rorschach's intelligence, and didn't even know that he was a mage branch specializing in that type of spell, Anthony didn't hesitate to use the killer weapon that consumed a huge amount of money at the moment of the fight....... opening three stuffy sticks, which are suitable for most battlefields, and can force out the opponent's chassis even if he can't kill the opponent.
But now, from Anthony's point of view, things are developing a little badly.
The opponent was obviously not hit by his own attack, or even injured, but the opponent strangely did not get out of the smoky explosion zone, and the magic power was in it one after another, and what spell should be prepared.
The unknown is always the most terrifying, and what people are best at is to scare themselves.
"....... he will be very worried about what spells I am preparing, or even be overly nervous, and it is easy to overreact, so I will stimulate him even more......"
Although camouflage/stealth abilities are used, high-level mages do not rely on them, in addition to magic fluctuations that are easy to be detected and attacked, more importantly, there are too many abilities in arcane to see through illusions, even if archmages forget to bless themselves before the battle, such spells, robes, magic rings will also come with such practical abilities.
Anthony is undoubtedly a veteran, he will not make such a simple mistake, those faintly burning eyes are the effect of the four-ring spell "Sight of Truth".
But sometimes, the fighting habits that have been trained in their own abilities can become flaws in the eyes of the cunning.
"Go ahead. ”
This time, it is two accelerated stealth drones, only this time it is a four-wheeled model on land....... let's put it bluntly, it is a toy remote control car.
"Boom!"
Two more explosions in succession, and this time the magic fluctuations were even more violent.
Rorschach laughed again, and the toy car deceived the six-ring attack spell on the opposite side, and he felt a loss for Anthony.
And no matter how you look at it, this trap Anthony is definitely going to drill.
An invisible high-speed object with subtle magic fluctuations is approaching you, and it is impossible for any archmage to show mercy, and high-speed, high-attack spells will not leave a hand.
And whether he uses super magic techniques to quickly send high-ring magic, or uses high-speed attack spells, this kind of spell will inevitably pay a high cost while gaining high speed.
".......'s breathing is already out of order, and the magic power has obviously failed, so don't be too reckless. ”
While reading the opponent's profile, Rorschach noticed that Anthony was very old, and the fire method not only had a high attack and a wide range of damage, but also the mana consumption was second to none in elemental magic.
Magical elements will erode the body, magic backlash is the most feared nightmare of every spellcaster, long-term continuous casting is a double test of the body and spirit, the vitality of the elderly, mental power has entered a period of decline, it is impossible to fight a long-term war.
Anthony chose a quick and decisive style of fighting, not just because he liked it, but also because he had no choice but to do so.
And now Rorschach, with only two smoke bombs and some toys, easily pulled the opponent into the long-term battle that he was not good at.
"Bastard boy, you come out for me! You actually use toys to fool the old man!"
Rorschach smiled, and then casually threw four more smoke bombs........ Never let your opponent get what he wanted, isn't it the first priority of the battle.
Of course, it is impossible to continue to take out toys to deceive the other party's magic, and even if the other party does not see the fragments of the drone, they will carefully save their magic power.
And Rorschach wants this "caution".
Even if there is only some information full of lies, it is still enough for Rorschach to analyze Anthony's character and fighting style, and easily create psychological blind spots in battle.
"Next time, I won't attack with a high-ring spell for the first time, so it's time for the real killer to appear. ”
Perhaps, after most of his abilities were unusable, he had to use his head instead of his hands, and Rorschach really showed the qualities of a natural mage.
"They're right, mage battles are like playing cards, whoever has a good hand may not win, that player is a better gambler, cunning, can deceive people, in order to really play the value of the trump card. Isn't it, Wood God?"
